Chapter 104 - 100: Resentment Modification

Chapter 104: Chapter 100: Resentment Modification

Inside the laboratory, Chen Qi completely unleashed his own Life Magnet Field.

Perhaps because his trip to the Royal Capital had caused his Spirituality to grow again, the range of his Life Magnet Field had expanded by another half-meter.

Viewed from the perspective of Spirituality, Chen Qi at this moment seemed to be at the center of a ball of lightning, the magnetic light dazzling.

’There’s still nothing out of the ordinary. This is incredible.’

Chen Qi had not yet fully merged his Spirituality with his Life Magnet Field. But to see no trace of the problem, even when he knew it was there, was a testament to the truly wondrous power of the King’s Game.

But Chen Qi was no longer the person he used to be. As his Spirituality fused with his Life Magnet Field, a white brilliance completely saturated the blue domain.

Chen Qi’s Consciousness, carried by the light of his Spirituality, delved into a more microscopic level of the Life Magnet Field.

In essence, Chen Qi’s Life Magnet Field was simply composed of the minuscule life magnet fields of billions of cells.

In the past, Chen Qi’s Spirituality was like flood irrigation, seeking only to cover the entire Life Magnet Field.

Now, however, his Spirituality was like precision drip irrigation, striving to let the light of his Spirituality permeate every tiny life magnet field.

His Consciousness, carried by this light, scattered across the life magnet fields of his cells.

In an instant, the cells’ life magnet fields appeared like a mass of writhing fingerprints, clearly imprinted upon his mind.

Yet this seemed to be merely an illusion. The next moment, the cells’ life magnet fields returned to their normal state.

But Chen Qi was certain that the fleeting glimpse he had just caught was no illusion.

The life magnet fields of his cells had indeed been distorted.

...

’That feeling is so familiar... Doumu’s Spiral... it’s actually Doumu’s Spiral?’

A flash of Spiritual Light went off in Chen Qi’s mind as he finally identified the true nature of the Life Magnet Field’s distortion and Shape Change.

A layer of Doumu’s Spiral had been loaded into his Life Magnet Field.

More precisely, the resentment of Jomoya Chris had been integrated into Chen Qi’s Life Magnet Field through some unknown method, taking the form of Doumu’s Spiral.

’Increase Spirituality frequency. I need higher Observation precision.’

Chen Qi used his will to raise his Spirituality frequency. As it reached 40.9, the magnetic field, twisted like fingerprints, was once again exposed to his eyes and firmly locked in place.

’It’s... embroidery?’

’My Life Magnet Field has been used as a piece of canvas, and the resentment has become the threads. Using an extremely exquisite technique of needlework, it’s been embroidered into individual instances of Doumu’s Spiral.’

’What an unbelievable method. It’s truly seamless.’

The more Chen Qi looked, the more astonished he became, but what he felt most was excitement.

To learn even a fraction of such an exquisite art would be an incredible gain.

All this time, Divination Text, Rope Text, and Doumu’s Spiral had been incredibly mysterious, but Chen Qi had no idea how to apply them.

Now, he was being given a practical lesson. It was truly eye-opening.

’In the legends, Doumu’s Spiral is related to the physical body. I never expected it to act on the Life Magnet Field.’

’So that’s how it is! So that’s how it is!’

’It seems I have to change my plan. It would be a terrible waste to simply shatter such exquisite embroidery with my Spirituality.’

’This Doumu’s Spiral isn’t encrypted, nor has it undergone complex Shape Change. This suggests the game simply loaded it onto me mechanically.’

’If I can perform Unraveling, I might just be able to extract it from my Life Magnet Field.’

’This would have more learning value for me.’

After seeing through the loading method of the resentment, Chen Qi’s Life Domain, already rendered white, suddenly changed.

Fine, black lines began to appear on the white canvas, as if they had always been there and were only now seeping through.

In the end, a portrait of a person emerged on the white canvas—it was, unmistakably, Jomoya Chris.

Looking closely, one would discover that this portrait was formed by a chain of minuscule instances of Doumu’s Spiral, making it incredibly vivid and lifelike, as if it were a living thing.

This transformation occurred because Chen Qi’s perception had changed.

The Life Magnet Field, already under the complete control of his Spirituality, would naturally shift along with it.

Such is the miraculous nature of Spirituality’s power.

...

"Jomoya Chris... it’s been a while!"

Chen Qi injected his Spirituality into the black portrait. He met with a slight resistance at first, but his Spirituality quickly broke through like a hot knife through butter, successfully dyeing the black portrait white.

The moment he completely occupied the portrait, Chen Qi felt his Consciousness split.

More precisely, a sliver of his Consciousness had taken up residence in a new shell.

’This resentment can actually carry my Consciousness?’

The portrait blinked its eyes, then began to move its arms and legs, and finally even performed a set of Red Falcon Fist.

This was all under Chen Qi’s control, of course, but it still felt utterly incredible to him.

’Am I piloting a ghost?’

Chen Qi felt his worldview needed a moment to stabilize. Was the resentment of Jomoya Chris special, or could all resentment be controlled like this?

Fortunately, Chen Qi still had 23 "small loopholes" on him. Perhaps he could compare them and see if there was a difference.

He acted on the thought. With a mere flicker of his will, 23 small black dots appeared on the white canvas.

Chen Qi once again controlled his Spirituality, injecting it into the small black dots and dyeing them white.

The process this time was completely different from before. If these 23 black dots weren’t so weak, Chen Qi would have doubted if he could handle them at all.

To use an analogy, the insides of the 23 small dots were a tangled mess. Because Chen Qi didn’t want to damage their structure, he could only use the "flood irrigation" mode, which was incredibly laborious.

Sometimes the pathways would even be cut off, leaving him unable to find a way forward, forcing him to carefully break through layer by layer.

It could be said that Chen Qi spent most of his mental energy just maintaining their structural stability.

Jomoya Chris, on the other hand, was completely different. He was like a well-designed robot, with a clear internal structure and logical layers.

Although it had some defense mechanisms, Chen Qi could just use Brute Force to break through them without worrying about it falling apart.

Once he successfully occupied it, he could control it as he pleased.

Comparing the two, the former were like clumps of iron dross, while the latter was a bionic robot.

But even if they were just iron dross, Chen Qi could still control them after they were dyed by his Spirituality.

It seemed that as long as it was resentment, the possibility of it being controlled by Spirituality existed.

...

Jomoya Chris was indeed special. After all, it was a game character.

In other words, it wasn’t resentment in its "primordial form," but had been processed by the power of the game.

Based on the changes Chen Qi had witnessed after the destruction of cells, even if resentment could be preserved, its appearance would be extremely twisted and bizarre; it would be absolutely impossible for it to take the form of a normal human.

’This game character must have been disfigured and then given plastic surgery.’

"Since I can control it at will, this will be easy!"

"Unravel for me!"

Following Chen Qi’s command, the image of Jomoya Chris pulled a thread from its own body.

Then, its hands began to weave continuously, using this thread to build a more complex structure. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

The thread seemed to be infinitely long, but the price was that the portrait grew increasingly blurry.

In the end, the portrait of Jomoya Chris vanished completely, leaving only the 23 small dots on the white canvas.

"Revenge! Revenge!"

And at the very moment the portrait disappeared, a miniature version of Jomoya Chris was woven into existence.

It danced on the white canvas like a puppet, now an independent entity.

This was because it had completed its separation from Chen Qi’s Life Magnet Field and was now merely trapped within it.

After being unbound from Chen Qi’s Life Magnet Field, the resentment recovered some of its instincts.

The despair and unwillingness to die that Jomoya Chris felt before his death seemed to have remained in the resentment, becoming its behavioral pattern.

This was the reason the resentment was shouting "Revenge."

"Hmph. As expected, a hidden danger!"

Watching the little figure struggle desperately within his Life Magnet Field, a cold glint flashed in Chen Qi’s eyes.

The next instant, the 23 small white dots transformed into 23 nails, pinning it down completely.

Chen Qi had already tried. He could still control this tiny figure of resentment, but it wasn’t as effortless as controlling the portrait had been.

After detaching from its bond with Chen Qi’s Life Magnet Field, it was as if it had completely thrown off all suppression, directly exposing the chaotic nature of resentment.

If Chen Qi hadn’t preserved its various structures from its time as a game character during the weaving process, it certainly wouldn’t look like Jomoya Chris now, but would have become a hideous, ugly monster.

Chen Qi didn’t want to be constantly distracted by using his Spirituality to suppress it.

As such, those 23 "small loopholes" came in handy.

Although they were iron dross, they could be completely controlled by Chen Qi.

In fact, because they originated from Chen Qi himself, not only did they not resist his Spirituality at all, they completely fused with it.

It was no exaggeration to say that after being dyed by his Spirituality, they could be considered a part of Chen Qi himself.

Using them to pin down the resentment was, naturally, a perfect solution.

As for this ball of resentment, he naturally had to keep it until he learned how to simulate a Life Magnet Field. After all, this was his "vest."

And at the very moment Chen Qi "took off the vest," KAKAKA, his physical body began to change, returning to its original appearance.

However, compared to the Chen Qi from his rental apartment days, he was now stronger, taller, and more handsome.

These were all byproducts of his increased life level.

...

"Hahaha, I’m finally back to myself!"

"It feels like it was only yesterday!"

Inside the laboratory, Chen Qi retracted his Life Magnet Field and curiously examined himself in the mirror.

Having not seen his own face for several months, his impression of himself had grown a bit fuzzy.

The man in the mirror was full of vigor and heroic spirit, without a trace of the decadent youth he once was.

Circumstances truly do change a person.

’If my guess is correct, the Black Blood Federation’s Blood-colored Chip must also use resentment modification technology.’

’They just implemented it through programming. And the material of that chip must be extraordinary—perhaps some kind of Extraordinary Metal.’

’It’s not a good idea to experiment rashly on the game character, but this Blood-colored Chip is a good substitute.’

’Especially since it’s loaded with the Divine Tiger Fist Secret Technique, Evil Tiger Carrying Corpse. Is this an ability retained by Su Zhenqing’s resentment, or is it a later modification by the Black Blood Federation?’

Chen Qi’s thoughts drifted. If he didn’t have to come out of seclusion, he would have loved to continue his research.

Today was the third day since his return to Talin City. It was time to make an appearance.

He was a player in the game, after all. If he just hid away doing research every day, a meteorite might just fall on his lab and turn him to ash.

He wondered how Taruno’s investigation was going. Although Chen Qi himself didn’t have any leads on the Blood Salt Case, he couldn’t just not show up for work.

He still had to go through the proper investigative procedures, or at least learn how to delegate tasks.

Otherwise, after those "little fat sheep" entered the country, how tiring would it be to catch them all by himself?

Before walking out of the laboratory, Chen Qi once again took control of Jomoya Chris, putting his "vest" back on.

After a series of changes, his body once again took on the appearance of Jomoya Chris.
