96: Chapter 96 Cosmic Bright Energy

Chen Yu took the landing craft and arrived inside the No. 1 Mothership on the moon.

His main reason for coming this time was due to his recent fitness training.

Chen Yu discovered that his body had been strengthened to a critical point.

This was likely due to the primary gene modification fluid he had injected earlier.

Upon arriving at the biochemical testing lab of the No. 1 Mothership, Chen Yu lay down on a glowing treatment platform.

“Smart Brain, please help me check my current physical condition. I feel incredibly strong lately!”

“Okay, Captain, I will test you now.”

“Checking...”

A beam of light from above shone on Chen Yu, conducting a comprehensive scan of him.

“Check successful.”

“Captain, after injecting the primary gene modification fluid and undergoing this period of training, your body has been further strengthened and you have successfully entered the Interstellar Tier 1 life form.”

Chen Yu was surprised!

“Smart Brain, what is an Interstellar Tier 1 life form?”

“An Interstellar Tier 1 life form is a common low-tier life form in the universe. Its main characteristic is that its physical body has been strengthened to a certain degree, such as strength, reaction time, and survival ability in harsh environments.”

“I feel like my body is full of strength, enough to kill a cow. And this is only a low-tier life form? How powerful must a high-tier life form be then?”

“Interstellar life forms are mainly divided into 9 tiers: Tiers 1 to 3 are low-tier life forms, Tiers 4 to 6 are mid-tier life forms, and Tiers 7 to 9 are high-tier life forms.”

“Is there any difference between them?”

“Of course, there is a world of difference. Generally, the higher the tier of a life form, the higher the civilization level of that life form, the greater its own strength, and its ability to adapt to the harsh environment of the universe. Also, advanced civilizations can better develop higher-tier gene agents to stimulate the potential of life forms.”

“So, if I want to advance my life level further, I need to inject advanced gene agents, right?”

“Yes, you have currently only injected our Level 7 Civilization's primary gene modification fluid, which can at most allow you to successfully enter an Interstellar Tier 3 life form. If you want to continue to advance your life level, you must unlock new permissions.”

“If we capture the level 2 civilization's mothership this time and obtain their Warp Engine, and then collect the raw materials to repair the No. 1 Mothership's Warp Engine from the black hole, I can unlock the next stage of Captain's permissions for you. At that time, you will have access to intermediate gene modification fluid.”

“Smart Brain, besides increased strength, what other benefits are there to advancing my life level?”

“Advancing your life level, of course, has immense benefits. As an Interstellar Tier 1 life form, your direct sensation is merely feeling a bit stronger and reacting a bit faster.”

“If you successfully enter an Interstellar Tier 2 life form, your strength, reaction, and physical toughness will greatly increase. You will also gain the ability to absorb cosmic bright energy. Cosmic bright energy refers to stellar energy like solar radiation, and also cosmic high-energy rays. The cells in your body can absorb these energies to strengthen your physical body, and you can also initially use these energies to perform certain attacks.”

“If you enter an Interstellar Tier 3 life form, your body will undergo a sublimation, approaching a mid-tier life form. The most significant change will be that you can survive in outer space. By relying on the absorption of cosmic bright energy, you can survive in space for a long time, and your ability to release bright energy for attack will also be further enhanced.”

“As for entering a Tier 4 life form, which is above mid-tier life, you can absorb dark energy from cosmic dark matter. Dark energy accounts for 73% of the total mass of the universe. Therefore, mid-to-high-tier life forms are powerful life forms in the universe. They possess super strong survival abilities, can adapt to many harsh planetary environments, and also have powerful combat abilities, similar to the Super Saiyans in your Earth anime. They also have long lifespans.”

“According to the speculation of our Level 7 Civilization scientists, those Level 8, 9, and 10 Civilization life forms should be high-dimensional life forms that have broken through Tier 9 life forms. The abilities they possess are infinitely close to gods. However, in the universe, such life forms have not yet been discovered. Perhaps they are already observing us from another dimension.”

After listening, Chen Yu's eyes sparkled with light. High-tier life forms in the universe.

Great strength, ability to survive in space, long lifespans—it's truly appealing!

“Alright, Smart Brain, I must become a high-tier life form! I will repair the No. 1 Mothership's Warp Engine. The deep space of the universe, I'm so looking forward to it!”

Chen Yu suddenly thought of a question.

“Smart Brain, the primary gene modification fluid I injected is supposed to let me smoothly enter an Interstellar Tier 3 life form, right? Why do I feel like my body has reached a critical point and no matter how much I train, I can't improve?”

“Captain, this is because an Interstellar Tier 2 life form requires initial absorption of cosmic bright energy. Your own comprehension is not enough, and you cannot yet sense that energy. Therefore, no matter how much you train, you will be stuck at this bottleneck.”

“Then how do I sense cosmic bright energy? I can feel the heat when I sunbathe, isn't that sensing?”

“Being able to absorb the sun's energy is sensing. Feeling heat is a biological instinct.”

Chen Yu was speechless. Smart Brain didn't say how to sense and absorb it. Chen Yu took the landing craft and came to the front side of the moon.

From here, he could see the sun. He squatted in the command room, facing the sun, carefully sensing the changes in his body.

However, a few hours passed, and Chen Yu was speechless. Besides feeling hot, he didn't feel anything else.

“Damn it! Smart Brain, are you messing with me?!”

“Captain, your Earthlings' brain development is only around 3%. In these past few months, the brainwave enhancement program I implanted has increased your brain development by 0.47%, reaching 3.47%. But you are still considered a low-level civilized life form. It is indeed somewhat difficult to comprehend the absorption of cosmic bright energy. When your brain development reaches 4%, you might be able to comprehend how to absorb cosmic bright energy.”

Chen Yu really wanted to curse. Smart Brain was indirectly saying he was stupid and lacked intelligence!

Yet, Chen Yu couldn't refute it. The entire human race's intelligence level was plainly evident here.

“Alright, I will work hard to train my intelligence!”

Smart Brain had told him before that participating in high-tech research and learning could improve intelligence and brain development.

However, in these past few months, Chen Yu had been very dependent on Smart Brain and was unwilling to learn many things, which led to his brain development progressing very slowly.

“Smart Brain, starting tomorrow, teach me your planet's mathematics, physics, and chemistry. I want to study hard!”

“Captain, you can't get fat in one bite. You haven't even figured out your Earth's math, physics, and chemistry yet. I suggest you start by learning your university-level knowledge!”

“Damn it!” Chen Yu was quite depressed!
