Chapter 381 Overclocking.

Li Yan disappeared for three days. Although she said hello to Wang Zi, the excuse of "some private matters" was still a reason that made people feel uneasy.

During these three days, we realized several things:

First, Li Yan is indeed very important. Once he is gone, everyone doesn’t even know what to do.

Second, future technology won’t even need a second-in-command. Wang Zi knows nothing about technology, and the others don’t even have the idea of ​​being a leader—including the madman Cao Haibin.

Because the current Hetu system project has exceeded their capabilities, ever since Li Yan modified the code to be elegant on the spot during the meeting, he was destined to be the project leader.

Third, Li Yan is really awesome. Even though he disappeared for three days, the team of 200 people is still functioning normally.

It was all thanks to his meticulous division of labor plan, which was not difficult to interpret at all. Everyone just had to follow it, and there was no need for even a project manager.

Anyway, the results will be submitted as usual, and since Li Yan didn't say to stop, this last link won't get stuck.

As for how Li Yan would deal with the things that had been piled up for three days, that was not something they could consider.

On Wednesday noon, November 11, Liu Liwei was humming a little tune as he walked to the tea room next to the stairs to get some water when he suddenly heard footsteps.

When I turned around, it was my boss Li Yan who I hadn't seen for three days.

"Boss!" Liu Liwei's voice was very loud, and it kept swaying in the stairwell.

Li Yan also smiled and waved, "Good, very energetic!"

"Boss, what have you been doing these three days?"

As expected of a young man, he is so disrespectful that he even wants to pry into his boss's privacy.

As soon as this thought came to Li Yan's mind, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Li Yan, Li Yan, you are not even an adult yet, how come you have learned so many pedantic things.

"you guess."

"I'm afraid he went to the alchemy furnace to train himself to have a pair of golden eyes."

...?
After saying this, Liu Liwei was stunned. "Well, I'm not good at talking, so I'm just talking nonsense."

He didn't understand why he described it this way, but when he saw Li Yan's eyes, he inexplicably thought of the Monkey King.

Li Yan returned to the office, looked in the mirror, and immediately understood what Liu Liwei said.

His eyes are very bright now, and it feels like light can burst out from them, and his energy is so full that it is about to overflow.

He looks like someone who can go clubbing for three days and three nights without sleeping.

Li Yan smiled. There was nothing he could do. After all, his head had just buzzed at noon.

[Stamina +1, Level 31 skill, total ]

What concept friends?

Comrade Xiao Li, my blue bar is now longer, my skills are more powerful, and I have directly transformed into a high-intensity continuous output monster.

By the way, the data for the three days was more than expected - those who worked fast were not fast enough to complete the task completely and were still submitting their results; those who worked slowly had also started submitting their results, so these three days happened to be the three days when Li Yan's workload skyrocketed.

But he was very excited about it. The more impossible it was, the more it could serve as a touchstone.

Let me see how awesome I am!

Although it was only an improvement of one point, it was a breakthrough and it can be said that Li Yan had undergone a qualitative change.

The improvements in logic, energy, calculation ability, memory, concentration, etc., intertwined and added to each other, unleashing a combat power that even Li Yan himself could not imagine.

If even he himself feels that "there is no need to think", it would be a completely incomprehensible state to outsiders.

The speed at which Li Yan processes these complex codes looks like a high school student solving elementary school math problems. He truly "knows the result at a glance."

Why high school students? Because in terms of the ability to solve test questions, high school is the peak period for most people.

This is easier to understand.

If someone stood opposite Li Yan and looked into his eyes, perhaps there would be a little uncanny valley effect.

Because Li Yan's eyes moved at an extremely exaggerated frequency, with an expressionless face, his eyeballs jumped and moved in several directions, up and down, left and right, and almost never stayed for more than 0.1 seconds.

It's like a robot out of control.

If a normal person looks at it this way, he may not even be able to see the words in the document clearly.

Li Yan was modifying and adjusting the code quickly, and the sound of keyboard typing never stopped.

If I were to write a novel in my current state, traveling at a speed of over 10,000 km/h would probably be as easy as drinking water.

I’m afraid that my typing speed can’t keep up with the speed at which my brain constructs the plot.

Keyboard: I've been through too much.

They walked all the way until the evening, and Li Yan not only did not feel tired, but became more and more excited.

Sometimes people are like this. If they know that the task at hand can be finished in an hour, they will slack off and end up finishing it in the afternoon. However, if there is a lot of work at hand and they feel stressed, they will actually do it faster and faster.

Watching the mountain of tasks shrink provides a strong positive feedback loop that drives you to speed up further.

Even when it’s time to take a break after get off work, I still can’t stop, thinking, “I’ll do a little more,” and finish the task in one go.

If you really stop, you will feel bored before you start again.

As the saying goes, "The first attack is powerful, the second is weaker, and the third is exhausted." The ancients were right.

So Li Yan was too lazy to even eat and insisted on achieving a "phased completion" result.

Li Yan was intoxicated by the state of selflessness. He felt hunger calling him, but he was so "selfless" that how could he be pulled back by a mere feeling of hunger?

Li Yan became more and more dissatisfied as he rushed forward, and even had a new understanding when he forced himself to speed up.

Since "speed" is a broad concept, why can't it be used to increase output power?

It can be used directly as a halo effect to forcibly increase the current output power and achieve true overclocking.

Li Yan wanted to experience the feeling of "exceeding the limits of current abilities".

Once this idea came to mind, Li Yan couldn't get rid of it.

It is like a deadly poison. Even though you know it is dangerous to eat it, you just can't help but want to try it.

It is attractive to challenge your own limits, let alone surpass them.

He thought so and did it.

The working of the brain and the movements of the hands did not slow down due to fatigue, but became faster and faster.

As the pressure got closer, even Li Yan herself felt the strong pressure. The more so, the more she needed to grit her teeth.

"Speed" is right there. Just add the buff right before you are about to explode!
In just a moment, Li Yan suddenly felt that everything around him became quiet.

This moment is called transcendence.

The feeling of urgency and pressure in front of him completely disappeared. His movements were obviously faster than before and his thinking was more agile than before, but from Li Yan's own experience, he felt very leisurely.

When his "speed" skill breaks through or his "reaction" or "dynamic vision" skills improve, Li Yan can feel that the world has slowed down. This is obviously because Li Yan has not yet adapted to his full range of faster perception, which is a result of the contrast with before.

But now, the world is really slowing down.

It's like the brain contains a universe.

The complex information in the core of Luoshen is nothing but a dust-like flow of information in front of the universe.

Li Yan could even clearly see her fingers flying in front of the computer.

and many more……

Li Yan felt that his consciousness was gradually fading away. He could clearly feel his brain working rapidly, and he could sense everything in the entire office, even what was outside the window.

Even, the real starry sky.

Danger!

Li Yan smelled the dangerous smell of "out of control", and he didn't know whether it was his "mental" or "physical health" that triggered the emergency mechanism, which abruptly cut off Li Yan's overclocking state. The power supply was directly cut off just before the host was about to smoke and short-circuit.

Li Yan's mind suddenly went blank, and his fingers froze stiffly above the keyboard.

Then there was a feeling of weakness that was so strong that it was completely irresistible.

It was so serious that Li Yan even had difficulty breathing.

I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and felt dizzy. Although I was sitting on a chair, I felt like my body was about to fall.

uncomfortable……

It was a feeling of "discomfort" that Li Yan had never experienced since awakening the system.

Li Yan felt that his soul had just rushed into the stars, but it rushed back at the moment when the connection was about to be cut off, so he had to adapt to this body again.

After several seconds, he finally felt the reality returning to him, his temples trembling violently and breathing heavily.

He wanted to drink some water, but found that he couldn't stand up and his hands were shaking.

There was even a taste of rust in his throat, which he forced back.

Damn, if this is really a world of cultivating immortals, wouldn’t that be the equivalent of going astray?

At least they have a breathing technique, so what should Li do? Take some medicine to calm down and relax?
He didn't even feel hungry at the moment. In his extremely weak physical state, "hunger" was a very low priority discomfort.

Li Yan took a long time to recover from the dizziness. He tried to stand up, but couldn't because of exhaustion all over his body.

He originally wanted to check the progress of the code, but he found that even the light of the computer screen in his peripheral vision made him feel nauseous.

Fortunately, the chair could be turned, so he still had some strength left, so he turned to the floor-to-ceiling window behind him and looked at the night sky outside the window in a slumped position.

When Li Yan turned around, she glanced at the clock. 9:48?!

He clearly remembered the moment when he felt his spiritual world slow down, and he still had the energy to glance at the time. It was 9:36.

Damn overclocking for twelve minutes...

Li Yan thought he had overclocked for an hour.

If it really is an hour, I’m afraid Rebirth 2.0 will begin soon.

Li Yan just stared at the night sky until ten o'clock in the evening. It was time for another twelve minutes of rest before he finally felt like he had recovered from the brink of collapse.

The first thing I did was to call Wang Zi.

"Sister Wang, please come over and buy me a stew that can nourish my mind and body. You can choose any staple food, and also buy some medicine and supplements to nourish my mind."

Wang Zi had never heard Li Yan's voice so weak before. Her first reaction was whether she needed to call the hospital, but Li Yan refused.

He doesn’t know what his current physical condition is. If he is diagnosed with something that cannot be explained by science, that would be troublesome. It is better for him to believe in his ability to be “healthy”.

Perhaps now, this ability is helping me repair my body.

At least he knew that he would not die now, and as long as he could not die, he had nothing to fear.

Twenty minutes later, Wang Zi hurriedly pushed open Li Yan's office door carrying large and small bags.

At this time, Li Yan had recovered a lot and could at least walk to the sofa to rest. He didn't dare to sleep for fear of falling asleep and his body would not be able to repair itself due to lack of energy.

"Mr. Li, you...what's wrong with you?" The worry on Wang Zi's face was very real.

Li Yan knew why. He looked in the mirror a few minutes ago and found that his lips were pale and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness.

"It's okay. I'm overdrawn."

"Hurry up and drink some soup. I bought some supplements and health-care oral liquid. Here are some tranquilizers. Don't eat too much at once."

"Well, I know what I'm talking about. Thank you for your hard work. How much are these things?"

"Not worth much."

"Go ahead." Li Yan drank two sips of soup, closed his eyes, and his breathing became smoother. The feeling of hunger finally took over his brain.

Damn, it turns out that hunger can one day become a wonderful feeling.

"One thousand and eight."

Li Yan drank half a bowl of porridge in one go, then smiled and said, "You are really willing to give me money. I will transfer 18,000 to you tomorrow."

"Really, Mr. Li, your health is important."

"Go back first."

"Do you need a doctor?"

"It's okay. I've recovered a lot. The doctor has already made an appointment for a special person. He can come anytime if needed."

Seeing that Wang Zi still looked worried, Li Yan waved her hand and said, "Go back quickly. What's the matter? Do you still like to work overtime?"

"Your health is more important than anything else. As long as you are here, future technology will be able to do everything. We can slowly work on things that cannot be completed for now."

"Thank you, Sister Wang, for your concern."

Wang Zi soaked the ginseng slices in water and opened all the packages. She stood at the door for a while, sighed and left.

She knew that Li Yan didn't hear anything at all. Even though she was so weak, her eyes were full of anger.

Li Yan was the only one in the office again.

He drank the soup and porridge slowly, then sat on the sofa in a daze for a long time before taking some tranquilizers.

He could feel that the system was repairing his body quickly.

After a long while, he suddenly laughed at himself, "Damn it, I paid such a high price, but only got twelve minutes of overclocking, and then I have to rest for twelve hours."

He never expected that the increase in "energy" gave his brain enough room to function, but it actually made his body even more overwhelmed.

After using an ultimate skill, the mana bar is emptied and the health bar is directly depleted.

but……

Overclocking feels wonderful.

At that moment, Li Yan felt that the attention of the entire universe was focused on him alone; no, he owned the entire universe.

He is the center of the universe, and everything in the world is interpreted by him alone.

The feeling was so satisfying that he even felt that making mobile phones had no appeal.

I just don’t have the courage to experience it again for now. This thing can really kill me.

What would happen if the speed was increased to 100% and all other skills were increased to 100%?
What will happen to Li Yan? What will this world look like in his eyes?

Thinking of this, his spirits were lifted a little.

Thanks to the fourth-level skill "Nutrition", the effect of the supplement was immediate, and Li Yan could finally exhale the foul air on his own initiative.

My chest no longer feels stuffy and I can do some stretching exercises.

Exercise... Li Yan decided to do exercise and take supplements at the same time to improve his physical values ​​as soon as possible.

I never thought that one day my health would become my biggest shortcoming as I neglected exercise.

Thinking of this, Li Yan finally walked back to the computer desk. At least before going to bed tonight, he had to see what the twelve minutes of overclocking had brought him.
The moment he saw the code in front of him, he was completely stunned.

Li Yan even confirmed it twice and couldn't help but frowning, then showing a look of shock.

The submitted code has been fully integrated.

The moment Li Yan lost power from the overclocking state, his fingers stopped not because of the power outage, but because he had finished writing.

It can be said to be a miracle.

Or maybe divine power.
