Chapter 4, Is this really what it feels like to stop loving?

Friends around him cannot understand, thinking that he is simply unwell. While others play games, he plays games too, engaging in such boring activities within them. What is the difference between that and staying in his room to sleep?

Through the stimulation of genes via electric shocks and individual training, one can attain greater strength. No one knows where the limits lie, but an increasing number of people believe that perhaps, thousands or tens of thousands of years from now, humanity's genes may evolve to the point of disregarding nuclear weapons.

The continuous sting of the electric current felt as if it could never be accustomed to. At first, Li Jie merely turned pale, his body involuntarily convulsing, yet he was still able to maintain his composure. However, after forty minutes had passed, Li Jie was already in a state of confusion! His body began to convulse violently out of control, his heartbeat becoming increasingly erratic, and suddenly—he collapsed to the ground, unable to maintain his posture

Li Jiejin's work is a virtual world set against the backdrop of the cosmic starry sky

The outcome has been determined; there will be three winners in tomorrow's graduation competition

From the first time he heard Yuanyuan's voice, Li Jie had this feeling. However, Yuanyuan had straightforwardly told him: "Understand, little friend, do not indulge in wild fantasies; one must not be controlled by one's own illusions"

Li Jie is of the combat-oriented gene type, with an electric shock gene. Intense training is certainly a routine affair. The surrounding electric currents, under Li Jie's active control, simultaneously penetrate the body through the countless holes formed by the dark attire.

Entering the quiet spacecraft, Li Jie’s sensory nerves also connected, opening his eyes in the sleep chamber, unable to hear any sound until the hatch opened

Although gene shock chambers are not yet a standard configuration found in every household, any individual with a tendency towards genetic combat, provided their family is inclined to cultivate this aspect and their circumstances are manageable, can afford to acquire one. Those with slightly poorer conditions can find some second-hand items that are still usable, though the side effects after use may be greater, the operation less stable, and the functions more limited, with the electric current being less steady.

Every individual that enters begins as a single cell. After a period of brutal consumption and evolution, they ultimately leave the water's surface and step onto land. During this process, they evolve into a certain form, and this process continues after reaching the shore. If they are consumed by other participants during the evolution process, they will start again from a single cell.

Indeed, among those on this ship, Li Jie is the youngest. In this virtual world, his name is Understanding.

Li Jie feels there is a distinction, which is that the spaceships in the virtual world are quieter

As the physical body in this virtual world is equivalent to a state of rest, Li Jie naturally arrived during the resting period, experiencing electric shock gene-induced unconsciousness. During the recovery of the body, he was certainly also present here.

This is the world they enter after sleeping, and it represents a new form of the virtual world in today's era, which does not interfere with human sleep. Such a virtual world effectively utilizes the time that must be spent sleeping, essentially extending life in a disguised manner

Li Jie stood beside her, a pair of dagger-like hands pressed against the glass. "How could this possibly have time?"

Gao, Da, and Pang certainly envy Li Jie; the level of pollution in the food they have consumed since childhood is fundamentally different, not to mention the disparities in living conditions, public safety, and so on

The emergence of the ultra-micro nuclear dark clothing has shattered nearly all conventional weapons. Those who are truly capable of combat are individuals with a predisposition for combat genes; such individuals possess immense power when combined with the ultra-micro nuclear dark clothing

The tall and stout man and the short one were the last to leave. As they descended, they passed by the door of Li Jie’s parents' residence, when the former suddenly stopped and stared blankly at that door.

Li Jie has mentioned his situation himself, or perhaps it can be said that it is precisely because he is here, among such a group of friends, that he is able to speak about it

It has been fulfilled, but... Li Jie felt a bit confused, because he had considered this day long ago. The fish are no longer here, and whether they will hear about it seems to be meaningless. He alone is upholding the vows made back then, but why? He once thought that at this moment, he would feel a sense of noble and sacred accomplishment for having written a passionate legend, but...

However, the current in the room did not stop; it continued to surge into his body, with crackling sparks flashing and dancing upon him...! ... This continued for another five minutes, and finally, the current ceased!

Yuan Yuan's understated conclusion states: "You no longer love her. Her thoughts have destroyed the life you planned, taking away your unrealistic and one-sided fantasies about human nature. Not only do you no longer love her, but you also have lost hope for an idealized pure love.

In comparison, Li Jie’s family conditions are much better. However, his family has no relatives in Yanhuang City, and the strangers that the tall and stout man mentioned are merely people from certain enterprises or departments. ... However, he has no plans for work at all, as he lacks ambition and thus lacks motivation; it would be too exhausting ... . ... The key is that he does not know what he wants to do. In fact, he feels that the tall and stout man and others have clear goals for the future, which is truly commendable.

Li took off his clothes and tossed them to the robotic butler, then entered the electric gene chamber. He pressed a single finger against the center of his chest, and the skin there flickered slightly. Blue electric currents crackled and moved along the walls of the room, yet they seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, swirling in circles around Li's body.

The mode of the electric shock gene chamber is indeed too insane, and it was originally set by Li Jie himself. Only when he falls into a coma, and the coma lasts for a certain period of time, can it be considered over. If he wakes up before the time is up, then it will mercilessly continue the electric shocks

However, the true reason that has allowed him to navigate until now is the group of friends he met along the way. They dominate the top ranks of the explorers' list. They share the same ideals... or perhaps it is more accurate to say that they are equally bored to death. The beginning of their friendship originated from an accidental encounter on a supply planet, followed by a bet made in a moment of disagreement... or perhaps it is more accurate to say that they are equally bored to death.

The so-called controllable dark matter does not refer to the ability to manipulate dark matter, but rather to a type of dark veil that has been confirmed to play a role in isolating dark matter from ordinary matter. This dark veil necessarily exists between ordinary matter and dark matter, ensuring that they coexist without annihilating each other. Its existence is akin to providing dark matter with an invisible garment, hence it is referred to as the dark veil.

When Li fell into a coma for more than one minute, the electric shock gene chamber entered a state of suspension. The nano devices on his body activated the mobile network device autonomously, carrying his consciousness as it slowly awakened in the virtual world

The changes brought about by electric shock genes have impacted every aspect of human society. When ultra-micro nuclear energy merges with the capabilities brought by human evolutionary genes through controllable dark matter, humanity finally sees hope for the future, and is even willing to believe that one day, it will be possible to restore the Earth to its former blue state

The forms of human combat have also undergone significant changes, especially after the application of controllable dark matter, rendering the vast majority of conventional firearms obsolete

Inside the spacecraft, a pink spherical creature with a diameter of two meters sits alone, gazing into the boundless depths ahead

There will be a ten-minute break after the meeting, what about you? Isn't tomorrow the final practical competition? The spherical life form here is called Yuan Yuan, and she is a female player. She did not mention what job she does, and no one, including Li Jie, asked her. Unless she brings it up herself, no one takes the initiative to inquire.

However, everyone feels that her work pace is very intense and the hours are long. She only comes in to rest whenever she has time, but she only stays for a long time at night

The precise pursuit of circular planning and the resolute decisiveness in execution have long left those who share the same boat as the - map - book in speechless admiration.

This change has led to the typification of fighters, with a very clear distinction between warriors and non-warriors, and the differences between them are generally insurmountable under normal circumstances

But there were no emotional fluctuations. Yuanyuan picked up the latter half of the sentence, and Li Jie nodded expressionlessly, saying, "That's right, just like that." There wasn't even a sense of relief after finally fulfilling a promise, nor did it feel boring, ridiculous, or pretentious. He was not moved by his own infatuation, or rather, it seemed as if he had forgotten what infatuation felt like.

Li Jie’s conditions made Gao Da and Pang feel an endless envy, but they could not just stand there daydreaming; their future could only be changed through proactive actions. Therefore, after finishing their meal, each of them planned their itinerary and set off.

Yuan Yuan has left, and only Li Jie remains in the spaceship; the others did not come. Li Jie does not feel lonely; on the contrary, as he gazes at the vast universe outside the spaceship, that silence is precisely the reason he has continued to love this virtual world until now

I truly do not know ... ... '' Li Jie genuinely does not know, and the current emotional state is completely beyond past expectations

The Electric Shock Gene Chamber was born during the Sixth World War. By stimulating genes through electric currents and various controllable factors, it achieves evolution in a positive direction. Humanity has endured the nuclear devastation of nine world wars, and as of the year 2666, there are still over a billion people surviving, thanks in large part to the Electric Shock Gene, which has continuously enhanced resistance to radiation, playing a crucial role.

Dark clothing, much like dark matter, can be said to be omnipresent. The energy provided by ultra-micro nuclear power enables dark clothing to merge with the human body. This compatibility is invisible; externally, it appears that nothing has changed. However, humans with a certain degree of combat gene inclination, under the influence of this dark clothing fusion, will gain extremely powerful protective capabilities, rendering conventional firearms ineffective.

Thus, the greatest, oh, https://m.hetushu.com is also where the most impoverished and tedious exploration group was established

Immediately following this, they began their vast journey in the same direction... This continued for a full six months, and eventually, most of the crew from the three parties had left, leaving only a few of them still resolute in their determination. During this process of competition, an unspoken bond of mutual respect developed among them. One day, someone suggested that they simply merge into one, and the proposal was unanimously accepted.

She is always like this, very organized. When the scheduled break time arrives, regardless of who she is talking to or what the conversation is about, she will leave immediately. Of course, in the last second before she departs, she also has a plan, including the final farewell, and she certainly calculates the speed of her speech and the time taken, ensuring that it is precisely within the allotted second.

"A very good result. You have also fulfilled your promise to your ex-girlfriend." Yuan Yuan smiled faintly, her voice carrying a sense of lonely desolation. However, Li Jie found that this desolation was quite enchanting, as if listening to her voice would naturally conjure in his mind a picture of a cold and serene face, surrounded by a cacophony, yet her side was exceptionally quiet... an extraordinary and ethereal painting.

Goodbye. Yuan Yuan's consciousness departed from the virtual world, and her virtual body automatically bounced and jumped into the sleep pod.

Li Jie has long entered space, but he did not take the conventional route; instead, he chose a rather tedious direction, exploring the unknown regions of space. This is quite dull, as he has spent almost all his time inside the spacecraft, moving through the silent universe. So far, his exploration record stands at ten months, while this virtual world has only just begun a year ago.

At this moment, Li Jie was foaming at the mouth, barely conscious and lying on the ground... After a while, his eyes moved slightly, and he regained a bit of awareness, but suddenly another surge of electricity struck him, causing his body to convulse violently, and he immediately fainted again...

If possible, he would like to comfortably stay until tomorrow

However, there is no essential difference in their key roles
