Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

When Lin Shen focused on practicing, he felt the coolness and electric shock sensation on his face intensify, making his mind clearer than usual, his thoughts more active, and his ideas exceptionally clear.

"Could it be... that Realm King Fruit pulp also has a brain-enhancing effect..." Lin Shen was surprised, but he didn't feel it was a bad thing.

Even if it can't enhance his level, being able to boost his brain is a good thing, considering how poor his memory is, he often worries about it himself.

His attributes are already strong to such an extent, yet his memory is just about the same as an ordinary person's.

Although it doesn't affect much, being forgetful isn't the same as being stupid, so it's not a major problem.

The key is, seeing others who can remember things at a glance, he feels a bit envious, as it's much more convenient, unlike him who has to either record things immediately or jot them down.

The trouble is, he's not good at drawing either, so with complex things, he can't capture everything.

If the Realm King Fruit can truly enhance his brain power, even if not too strong, reaching a photographic memory would still satisfy Lin Shen.

With the continued stimulation from the Fruit Pulp Mask, Lin Shen felt his brain becoming increasingly clear, and his ability to observe details in things improved.

Where he once could only see basic appearances in a person, now he could notice details often overlooked.

As the stimulation intensified, Lin Shen could observe even more details.

Lin Shen was overjoyed, thinking he could finally be like Di Esi and others, being able to remember things perfectly. Although not as powerful to capture a thousand-mile panorama as a painting in one look, he could at least retain what he focused on.

But soon Lin Shen realized, he still couldn't remember longer sequences, like small patterns seen earlier; shortly after, he forgot the earlier actions.

"What on earth, damn it, my head's so clear, and all details are already registered in my mind, how can I not remember? Is it really because my talent is too poor that even external aid can't boost my memory to a high level?" Lin Shen was extremely frustrated.

Lin Shen felt the stimulation from the Fruit Pulp Mask intensifying, his thoughts clearer, yet his memory just wouldn't improve.

Now, Lin Shen felt like a computer equipped with a top-notch DSLR camera, capturing or recording at ultra-high quality, yet the memory, hard drive, CPU, and GPU configurations were far inadequate.

Not to mention editing or processing these photos and videos, he couldn't even store them without having to overwrite old content to make room for new ones.

The more the Fruit Pulp Mask supplied energy to Lin Shen's brain and elevated its evolution, the stronger this feeling grew.

Lin Shen even had a thought of taking out his brain and weighing it on an electronic scale to see if it's smaller than others' brains.

Of course, it was just a thought; he certainly wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

"Some effect is better than no effect, the pixel quality of the surveillance camera improved, making things clearer." Lin Shen comforted himself.

It's indeed like that. Lin Shen used to only see parts, but now his vision and observation abilities have clearly been greatly enhanced, like equipping a super HD wide-angle lens.

Lin Shen looked up and felt as though his visual range could infinitely zoom in. Standing on the Realm King Planet, he could even see the details of an asteroid in the void, noticing even pinhole-sized holes clearly.

Moreover, this effect continued to strengthen, and he didn't know to what extent it would eventually develop.

Lin Shen heard Di Esi mention once that because his Life Base was a particle, this path naturally led him to possess super micro-vision abilities.

To ordinary people, the world is full of all sorts of objects, but in his eyes, the world is composed of various particles.

Others see the whole, while he sees the structure.

Lin Shen remembered this was mentioned when talking about marriage and children. Di Esi told Lin Shen he could only see the beauty of structures, not the beauty of the human body itself; in his eyes, people weren't even people, so talking about love was pointless.

He was born like this, and the stronger his power, the more severe the situation became.

The primary reason he chose to self-destruct and rebuild his level was his desire to rid himself of such micro-vision.

During his lower levels was when he felt most happy in his life because everything appeared blurry during that time.

As Di Esi put it, ambiguity is a kind of beauty, an irreplaceable one at that.

As his level rose, his micro-vision gradually returned, and he lost the ability to appreciate ambiguous beauty.

This is why Di Esi would often gaze at the starry sky; it wasn't about posturing or feeling superior but was due to the fact that only at a great distance could he avoid being affected by his micro-vision.

Di Esi has been seeking a way to control this micro-vision, hoping to manage his eyesight, but so far, he's been unable to do so.

Lin Shen could finally empathize with Di Esi's frustration; when he looked at nearby objects, it was reminiscent of when he comprehended the True Extreme Slaying Evil Divine Light—he only saw the tiny structures of matter.

Lin Shen glanced around and immediately felt somewhat unaccustomed; the original world seemed high-definition to him.

But now, looking at the world, it was like watching a low-resolution display, everything appearing grainy.

"Don't do this! I don't want to become like Di Esi, someone who can't appreciate the beauty of ambiguity..." Lin Shen was a bit panicked.

Previously, he didn't understand the phrase "beauty lies in distance," but today he suddenly grasped its true physical meaning.

Being able to see clearly isn't always a good thing; when looking at a person, no matter how beautiful a lady is, she's just a pile of particles, which might as well lead him to live an austere life unknowingly.

Lin Shen rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, he found that the super long-distance vision had disappeared, and he could see people normally again.

After experimenting several times, Lin Shen discovered that this vision could be controlled and that it wasn't an inherent trait like Di Esi's.

"As long as I can control it." Lin Shen let out a long sigh of relief; he used to see tiny particles when focused, but not as exaggerated as now.

Plus, the effect of the Fruit Pulp Mask persisted, constantly strengthening his brain, but the brain's capacity was too low, and it seemed the effect was shifting to his vision. Lin Shen didn't know how enhanced his eyesight would eventually become due to the Realm King Fruit Pulp.

Lin Shen stopped fretting over these matters and turned to continue looking at the small human patterns on Wall Mountain; at this moment, they suddenly felt different upon looking again.
