“This is one of the benefits that I obtained from practicing the Energy Machinist NIS Training Method,” understood Garen clearly. Everything could be seen clearly on this condition panel.
This time, the Biochemical Fluid that had synthesized with the Predator corpse seemed quite good. It was of good quality and was produced in a shorter span of time than earlier. Within less than an hour and a half, the first Big Wild Wolf walked out of the Biochemical Pool and shook the Biochemical Fluid off its body. Thick black fur had started growing on the surface of the Big Wild Wolf’s body at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
Garen stroked its neck.
“Go now, follow the passage and go down. Hunt the surrounding Predators that are nearby,” he had modified the control model before transmitting a set of the Predator’s images.
He reached his hand out and placed a Distorted Seed into the Big Wild Wolf’s body gently. He watched it run out of the third level quickly before rushing outside.
The door at the first level was not built yet. The sound of cheering could be heard faintly when the Big Wild Wolf ran out now.
It was clear that the Big Wild Wolf’s combat abilities had received sufficient approval from everyone. They looked at it as if it were a guardian deity.
Garen smiled and examined the next embryo that he was breeding.
He knelt beside it and began to practice the Level Three Energy Machinist grade. He would be able to enter Level Three soon enough and the Big Wild Wolf would become slightly stronger after that. Simultaneously, his own Willpower would be able to perform computing operations that were even more advanced. The shop in the special ability space had assisted him greatly, especially regarding the various knowledge in the Energy Machinist aspect. He did not have a teacher initially and was extremely deficient in this aspect. However, working in the shop was a good opportunity for him to familiarize himself with the world of Energy Machinists.
After feeling the clusters of Inherited Level Mech Pilot Willpower in his body, ripples began stirring in Garen’s mind faintly.
The Seventh Divine Wind General’s attack was too brutal. Moreover, the additional assault from the Biochemist Bamente made it impossible for him to train both his combat abilities and strength until now. He had no way of practicing his combat Training Methods either. Fortunately, he could still rely on the path of an Energy Machinist to advance forward. Otherwise, this reincarnation would be truly wasted.
“I’ll wait until I’ve reached the Advanced Energy Machinist Level. Perhaps I’ll be able to find a way to get rid of the remnants of this Willpower.”
After slowly closing his eyes, Garen allowed the Energy Machine Imprint to produce Big Wild Wolves automatically while he began to carefully compute the Level Three Energy Machinist multidimensional computing module.
*****************
Time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye, Garen and the others had already spent two days on the mountaintop.
Within a couple of days, Garen had already made up for the previous ten Big Wild Wolves completely. All of them were Big Wild Wolves that were strengthened by the Distorted Seeds. Each of them were almost two meters long, possessed robust builds, and looked like little calves. Garen released all of them down the mountain to hunt the surrounding Predators freely. Occasionally, they would bring some Predator corpses back to him to be used as nurturing materials for the Biochemical Pool.
As long as these ten Big Wild Wolves had spacious and circular terrains, they would form a wolf pack that had no problems ambushing little groups of Predators. According to the feedback that Garen had received, this pack of ten wolves had already killed almost twenty Predators within the two days.
Almost all of the wandering Predators near the mountain had been slaughtered. Thus, the Big Bad Wolves had carved out a circle with a diameter of a few hundred meters in the center of the mountain that was completely safe.
This allowed East Perrin and the others on the mountain to finally be completely relieved temporarily. During the past two days, they rushed down the mountain after being informed about this by Garen and collected the materials from their surroundings that were needed to cultivate the Biochemical Fluid. They also dug out some edible plant rhizomes while the old man Malone began to research and test the types of food that the tiny fish inside the little pond liked to eat in preparation to proceed with the breeding.
Meanwhile, Garen went to the special ability space on the side to do his work while constantly training his Willpower processes simultaneously. Finally, he managed to achieve new progress.
At noon on the third day, within the third level of the cave, Garen laid face up on a simple stone bed. Both of his eyes were tightly shut but tiny beads of sweat were pouring out of the skin on his entire body. It seemed as though he was using a tremendous amount of strength and consuming a large amount of it.
In the air in front of Garen’s face that no one else could see, a complicated multidimensional structure that resembled a tower of building blocks was currently suspended there.
This structure resembled a little toy. It was only a few centimeters tall and was hanging in front of Garen’s forehead. The entire little toy was made up of hundreds of tiny wooden building blocks. Symbols and numbers that formed equations regarding mathematical functions were carved on each of these wooden blocks.
As time continued to pass, one of the mathematical wooden blocks at the top moved left of the formation and moved automatically. That answer of the equation on the wooden block had been solved by Garen.
These were the Energy Machinist’s Level Three computing modules. There was more than a single answer for each of these wooden blocks and there would always be various answers. The permutations and combinations that were achieved when different answers were selected would continuously produce various chain reactions.
Garen needed to find the most suitable permutations and combinations for these answers. Next, he would need to arrange them into a brand new broader question that could be solved. After solving the main question, he would finally achieve Level Three.
These were known as double prime factoring that was a task that needed to be done by all Level Three Energy Machinists. They needed to solve the first equation by factoring it and solving hundreds of other difficult equations. Next, they would need to choose a suitable answer to form the second equation. However, this equation would need to be solvable. If it could not be solved, it meant that their combination had failed and they would need to start over again. Even if they were able to solve it, the second question that they had formulated could not be too simple. Despite managing to compute it and become a Level Three Energy Machinist, their potential would be limited if they continued to walk down that path.
In other words, those who took shortcuts and did not challenge themselves would definitely not go far. On the other hand, prodigies who spent their time on unnecessary minor issues would waste a lot of time and mental effort. Therefore, Energy Machinists needed to grasp everything in a balanced manner on their own.
The processes of double prime factoring were extremely terrifying. Through the perspective of an average person, they were simply frightening mathematical questions that were difficult to solve. However, Energy Machinists looked at it as a level for them to ensure that they had a solid foundation at Level Three before leaping to greater heights. If they had set this foundation properly, they would able to reach further distances in the future. Additionally, if they had resorted to tricks to solve the second prime factor with a simple solution, they would probably stop progressing at Level Three as well.
This was because the changes in the Willpower characteristics that were triggered by Level Three were the cornerstones that were used to set up their future Willpower modules.
Energy Machinists constantly used these difficult computing equations as a method to produce a series of complicated but subtle qualitative changes within their Willpower. They would finally be able to accomplish even higher grades of Willpower once they had succeeded. This was the road to advancement for Energy Machinists.
Garen understood this as well. However, he had already factorized the first prime number more than ten times. It would be simpler for him to use his current Prodigy Level computing power to find a simple factor to form the second equation, but he would naturally not desire to go down on that path.
Therefore, he continued calculating it again.
He had already achieved 8 points of Intelligence in his Attribute Pane. This was a terrifying value as it indicated that his Intelligence had synthesized with his computing power to become at least eight times better than the average human. Of course, many abnormal qualitative changes would occur throughout this distance of eight times. It was similar to the martial arts principle which stated that one would not be able to see the other side if the balance was not right.
Currently, he had already reached a level that where he would be considered an intellectual genius among Energy Machinists.
His strong computing power that was increased by three times revolved madly while the sweat on Garen’s forehead increased. The muscles throughout his entire body had started to spasm and twitch while his face turned pale and his breathing quickened gradually.
The movements and speed of the module at his forehead accelerated and changes quickly started to appear.
Suddenly, a cracking noise could be heard.
Garen could only feel as if subtle increases of power had occurred in his brain instantly. It seemed as though some parts had been enlightened at once. Initially, he could not see the places beyond his reach clearly. However, they had become slightly easier to grasp immediately.
He was able to solve the first of a hundred questions rapidly before the second one formed automatically. The second mathematical problem more complicated and harder to understand.
Garen forced his brain to relax. The second mathematical problem was something that he had learned before. It was a function equation that was extremely complicated. Moreover, it was one of the classic difficult mathematical problems in this world.
When the familiar solving process floated past his Willpower, Garen could only hear a soft melodious noise. Immediately, it seemed as though his Willpower had been unlocked. It floated out gently as if it had just burst through the surface of the water from the depths of the ocean at once.
He did it!!!
He let out a long sigh of relief as the unusual condition that caused a heavy burden in his body gradually disappeared.
After resting for awhile, he opened his eyes and sat up. He felt as if his entire body was exhausted. Mentally, he really, really wanted to sleep.
“Being able to automatically form stereotypically difficult questions like that mean that I can surpass Level Three Energy Machinist equations of mid-range to upper-level difficulties. The possibility of discovering an exceptional Energy Machinist is only one in a hundred. Moreover, they would need to spend a few months doing this while I only needed a few days…”
He glanced at the value of his Intelligence Points.
He shockingly discovered that his Intelligence had increased again from 8.0 to 8.1 this time. It was clear that this minor progress had trained his brain as well.
“If Energy Machinists trained their brains like this daily, it will definitely become energy to continuously increase their computing power for a certain period of time. It reached an abnormal degree progressively… The person that invented Energy Machinist Training Methods is truly terrifying…” Garen sighed.
(Unfortunately, it would be perfect if I still had sufficient Potential Points. I only have 32 Potential Points left now. After reaching 8 Intelligence Points, I would still need another 60 Points if I wanted to increase it by one more level. My gains could not make up for my losses even if I found another Staff of Absolute Yin) thought Garen.
Although he was slightly regretful that his Potential Points could only help him in limited amounts, Garen was not completely remorseful over this fact because he knew that he could not rely on Potential Points forever. Once he became too dependent on this thing, would he collapse completely after encountering a minor hitch in the future?
Therefore, Garen had become conscious of this issue long ago. Many times, he would intentionally refrain from relying on Potential Points to strengthen himself. Instead, he would rely more heavily on the knowledge that he gained from different worlds as strength and use them as his final trump cards.
This applied to his current self as well. The thing that helped him the most was no longer merely Potential Points, as he had the Living Secret Technique and Hellfrost Peacock Technique as well now.
The Distorted Seeds could increase a living creature’s physical fitness by three times. This gave him a sturdy foundation while living in troubled times.
(Long periods of grinding lie ahead after becoming Level Three Energy Machinists. The difficult aspect of Level Four Energy Machinists is the triple prime factoring. Since there’s an additional level in comparison to Level Three, it becomes much harder. Without an overall outlook and computing powers that are strong enough, I don’t even have to think of advancing even more) Garen had finally understood.
Level Four Energy Machinists were the true divide between Lower and Middle-Level Energy Machinists. Level Four Energy Machinists could possess two Energy Machine Imprints and could create two cannon fodder creatures and two elite modified creatures.
He had also discovered through Mincar that Level Four Energy Machinists also served as great support levels for many renowned workshops and the backbones of major business alliances. In more current and popular terms, this was similar to the difference between college students and professors within a college setting. Within a factory, they would be positioned about the workers at the bottom level. They would be in charge of the skills that would be used by the individuals in the lower levels that served as the nucleus and framework of the organization. Moreover, there were a group of people in a level that no organization could lack.
They were the white-collar workers that possessed some power within the special ability spaces throughout the entire Energy Machinist society.
“But since I want to enter Level Four, it’ll probably take at least half a year more.” Garen tried to calculate his progress rate. Level Four would require him to form modules and answer them after that. Therefore, he would need to spend an extremely long time doing that. Half a year was too long. It would be a waste for him to merely spend such an extended period of time purely computing in one place. It would be more beneficial if he were to try solving that other technique instead.
Garen could solve the L-units Skills that he used to control the upper limits of the quantities of Big Wild Wolves.
According to the materials and skills that he currently possessed for Resonation, these were accumulated from the developments of a civilization in the world. They had integrated with the composition of the L-units and definitely possessed a probability of being implemented.
