'It seems that the tidbits about me have reached this place. '
"You're such a scoundrel. Senior Sister Jiang Rong is a really good person... Forget it. Hurry up and explain."
"Most of what's in the news is true. Take me to the electric current development room."
Lin Yao was reluctant to explain. It was not because of dignity or any other reason. He was well aware that he was unable to devote himself to true love and one relationship for life. Therefore, he was unwilling to provoke ladies who yearned for these things. He would be hurting both himself and others if he did.
Upon seeing the firm look on Lin Yao's face, the young researcher simply left angrily. In the end, a middle-aged man with a mature disposition led Lin Yao into the electric current development room.
However, someone else had just arrived in the room.
Upon seeing Lin Yao, he looked as if he had met a relative.
"Buddy, why don't you go ahead first."
"You should go first. I need a longer time here."
"A longer time? No problem. Perhaps this..."
"Scoundrel. Get in!"
The young man who had come to develop his body was not alone. He was accompanied by a middle-aged man who resembled him. When he saw the terrified young man, the middle-aged man, who looked like the young man's elder, kicked him into the room.
"That b*stard is making a fool of himself. Don't mind him."
"It's nothing."
After talking to the middle-aged man and casting a helpless look at the young man, Lin Yao turned his gaze to the middle-aged researcher who had brought him here.
"Hello, can you help me change my development room? I want a glass room that can transmit light through all sides, as well as overhead. Alternatively, we can move the chair to an open space. Um... preferably on the roof."
The corners of the middle-aged researcher's mouth twitched slightly. In the end, he nodded and agreed to Lin Yao's idea.
"Got it. I'll do that now."
Under normal circumstances, the person being developed needed to listen to the researcher. However, Lin Yao was obviously special, and his request was easily acceded to.
Soon, a new electric chair was placed in the courtyard of the research institute. There were dozens of wires connected to it.
'Fortunately, although many instruments are used for electric current development, I mainly use the electric chair, which can be moved. All the other monitoring instruments are in the room. '
Swift and decisive, Lin Yao undressed until he was in his boxers. When he did so, the young man who had been sent into the room earlier was carried out.
He was fairly good, as he had persisted for a total of five minutes. However, the longer he persisted, the more miserable he seemed. Even though petite Qin Xue hadn't undergone electric current development before, she felt somewhat freaked out upon seeing the young man convulsing constantly.
When she came back to her senses, she wasn't even in the mood to feel embarrassed about Lin Yao being in his boxers. Her heart ached for him, and she told him anxiously, "Ah Yao, are you also going to undergo this development?"
"Of course."
"Is that so? It must be very painful."
"There is no free lunch in this world. Don't worry, I'm already used to it."
Lin Yao was already familiar with the development process. After sitting on the chair and having the electrode patches attached to his body, Lin Yao was soon undergoing in-depth stimulation through the flow of electric current coming from the chair.
Upon closing his eyes, Lin Yao was ready to endure the impending pain.
However, just as he was prepared to do so, a different feeling from the past appeared in Lin Yao's heart. After a large amount of electricity flowed into his body, Lin Yao didn't feel any pain. There was only a wave of comfort and satisfaction, as if his body was being repaired.
"What's going on? Is the current intensity too low? I don't feel any pain."
This was Lin Yao's voice. The researcher immediately stared at the data on the monitoring screen. After a while, someone came out to answer Lin Yao's question.
"There is no problem. There are positive changes to the data of your body."
"But I don't feel any pain."
The middle-aged researcher had a strange look on his face upon hearing this. After a while, he said, "Do you know something? The electric current development was painful because your body had not adapted to the electric current before. Don't be too quick to deny this. I know you have thunder talent, but most people have very little thunder talent. This means your body can only adapt to a small amount of electric current. Amongst the many aspects of the in-depth electric current development of Project Thunder God, one of them is making you guys more adaptive to electric current. If your body is able to adapt to the electric current well, you won't feel any pain and you will enjoy undergoing the in-depth electric current development."
Lin Yao had been truly unaware of this. After hearing it for the first time, he had the urge to spout vulgarities. There were real differences between humans.
However, he soon thought of something.
"Wait, I have indeed undergone some changes during this period, but they apply to other things, not my thunder talent."
In response to Lin Yao's puzzlement, the man shrugged.
"I don't know about that, but I've already called the professor. If you have any questions, wait for him to come over."
This was what was good about the research institute. One could consult an expert if one had any questions. This way, Lin Yao underwent a refreshing, comfortable electric current stimulation.
It was invigorating, refreshing, and great. This experience, which resembled an orgasm, made Lin Yao tremble constantly, and he had a feeling that his body cells were absorbing electricity.
To avoid embarrassing himself and also find out what kind of changes he had undergone, Lin Yao simply closed his eyes and entered his Sea of Consciousness. He then looked at the manifestation of his soul—the sacred tree.
Lin Yao's information was on the sacred tree. Skipping the rest of the information, Lin Yao zoomed in on the progress bar of the Iron Body.
After waiting for three to five minutes, Lin Yao felt temporarily relieved upon discovering that the progress bar was rising bit by bit.
'There doesn't seem to be a problem. However, what exactly is this change in me?'
Lin Yao, who was puzzled, took a closer look at the two big trees. After a round of careful observation, he was surprised to discover that when he was undergoing electric current stimulation, the branches of the Celestial Tree and the Tree of Heaven Punishment were actually swaying. Furthermore, their movements corresponded with each other. In addition, one of the branches was shining brilliantly.
'What the hell is happening?'
With his eyes closed, Lin Yao observed that branch and comprehended this with his heart. After doing so, he discovered that the radiance of the Tree of Heaven Punishment was arising from Heavenly Thunder LV2. Its experience bar was also rising.
Lin Yao was not surprised by this. The in-depth electric current development helped Lin Yao master the control of the electric current and increase his adaptation to it. In the past, after the in-depth development, his Heavenly Thunder experience bar would increase slightly. What Lin Yao was puzzled about was the Celestial Tree. During the development, Lin Yao only used it to heal his body, so he couldn't figure out why it was resonating with the Tree of Heaven Punishment now.
Fortunately, the sacred tree was the manifestation of Lin Yao's soul. After perceiving this with his heart, Lin Yao gradually understood what was resonating with the Tree of Heaven Punishment.
However, his final discovery surprised Lin Yao. It was not the new Lord of Light, which he had thought it was, but Light Adjustment.
After opening the introduction to the Armored Body Of Light and searching for Light Adjustment quickly, Lin Yao soon saw the detailed information before his eyes.
[Light Adjustment (High-Level): Effect One—When the light energy in the cells of the host is abundant, the light energy will automatically adjust the host's body, making the host evolve toward perfection. Effect Two—When the host is in a special environment, the light energy will also adjust the cells of the host and enable the host to adapt to the current environment. ]
'Adapt to the current environment?'
After careful observation, Lin Yao discovered that the introduction to the high-level Light Adjustment included an additional line—the light energy would enable him to become more adaptable to the environment.
Lin Yao quickly figured out the meaning of this. It was very simple. Trees grew differently in the Arctic and in the tropics, as well as in the plains or in the desert. Different environments would give rise to different plant systems. This applied to both plants and animals. Animals in cold regions had more hair and fat, and animals in hot regions could withstand the shortage of water resources.
Animals and plants could adapt to the environment. This had long been proven by science. However, it would take tens of thousands of years for both animals and plants to change their genes in nature.
Lin Yao's Light Adjustment was different. This ability enabled him to transform his genes quickly as long as he had enough light energy. This made him more adaptable to the current environment.
Lin Yao was currently in a state of electric shock. He had been stimulated by electric currents frequently, and his body had memorized this long ago.
Undoubtedly, excessive electrical stimulation harmed the body. Forget about the past. Now that Light Adjustment had the ability to transform genes, it would naturally change Lin Yao's genes and make him more adaptable to electricity. However...
'That's not correct either. Light Adjustment can only give me resistance, such as water shortage resistance in the desert and cold resistance in a cold area. But now I'm not resisting. I'm absorbing electricity. This is not something that Light Adjustment can possibly achieve, at least not at this stage. '
These doubts didn't last long. He soon discovered that one branch of the Celestial Tree was resonating with the Tree of Heaven Punishment, which made Lin Yao understand the reason almost instantly.
'If I had only the Celestial Tree, my Light Adjustment would indeed increase only my electricity resistance. However, in addition to the Celestial Tree, I also have the Tree of Heaven Punishment. Light Adjustment will enable me to evolve toward perfection. With the physical memory of frequent electric current stimulation, absorbing electricity is indeed more advantageous than resisting it. '
Upon knowing what kind of changes had taken place in his body, Lin Yao heaved a sigh of relief. Although what had happened earlier was good, having many doubts was always unsettling.
At that moment, he started feeling more relaxed. For some reason, Lin Yao felt drowsy. Vaguely aware that this was a good thing, Lin Yao didn't resist and allowed his sleepiness to lead him to slumber.
This way, Lin Yao fell asleep on the electric chair in the courtyard of the research institute.
What he didn't know was that while he was asleep, his body was absorbing electricity more smoothly and freely. With every breath he took, the transformation of his body became even more apparent.
News of this had spread to the researchers, who were dumbfounded upon discovering Lin Yao sleeping.
"Target One is already sleeping soundly. Attention, this is not a joke. Target One is already asleep."
The researcher in charge of observing Lin Yao's physical condition shouted loudly and sternly. However, after he did that, someone could not help but say, "What else can this be besides a joke?"
"Sleeping during electric current development? You must be kidding me!"
