Overclock Mode

Hearing Yi Kai's words, the three of them took a few steps forward.

"Commander-in-Chief/ Commander Yue!"

After stopping, they first saluted Yue Yuan on the stands. As people on the Lyra, they naturally recognized Yue Yuan, and one of them was even a military personnel.

"Okay, let's begin!" Yue Yuan returned the salute and nodded.

"I'll go first!"

The one who answered was the guy Yi Kai had just called "Lao Tie." After speaking, he took off his shirt and threw it aside. He didn't throw it on the ground, because there was no gravity here. After he pushed the shirt out, it floated towards a clothes rack not far away, and then, due to the Magnetic Force buttons, it was attracted to it.

The shirtless Lao Tie looked to be around thirty years old, with well-proportioned muscles. It was hard to tell whether he had built them up through training or through genetic modification.

When the other two saw that Lao Tie had arrived first, they also moved a few steps to the sides to make room.

A moment later, Lao Tie lowered his head slightly, stood with his feet slightly apart, and his arms hanging naturally at his sides, as if he was preparing himself. Three seconds later, he slowly raised his head, then his body seemed to tremble slightly, and then... nothing more happened.

That's it?

Nothing has changed! Yue Yuan looked suspicious. Could it be that he failed?

Just then, another volunteer, Xiao Huang, shouted out the answer, "Holy crap, Lao Tie, are you sure you can do it? If not, let me try!"

"Stop yelling, okay? This is just building up, building up takes time. Wait a minute, let me find that feeling."

Startled by Xiao Huang's shout, Lao Tie, who was trying to enter overclocking mode, felt embarrassed. He had been able to start up smoothly the previous times, so why couldn't he? He didn't want to lose face in front of the big boss.

After eliminating the distractions, Lao Tie continued to repeat the previous action, slightly lowering his head to prepare, and then slowly raising his head and shaking his body as if in a slight twitch.

The way this shaking looked was... Looking at Lao Tie's appearance, Yue Yuan always felt that this shaking was like the unnatural shaking that comes from just finishing urinating.

"Could it really be true?" Yue Yuan's mind raced for a moment.

And just then, Lao Tie's body finally began to change.

Yue Yuan stopped his random thoughts and looked closely. He saw that after the last tremor, Lao Tie seemed to have a look of pain on his face. Then he saw Lao Tie hunch his back slightly and clench his fists and raise his tense arms.

At the same time, a bright color began to appear on his arm. Within a few breaths, the bright color became more obvious and began to climb up his arm. At this point, the bright color gradually turned into a bright silver color.

Immediately afterwards, Yue Yuan saw that Lao Tie's arm began to show a grid-like pattern. The grid-like pattern was just a transition. After a breath, it became denser and then showed a dense crystalline appearance.

By this point, Lao Tie's arm no longer resembled a human arm. From an observer's perspective, his arm now looked as if it were covered by a very dense and fine scale. It was like snake scales, but upon closer inspection, it didn't quite look like them. It was like the scales of the Kuntai People's 'Tai' form, but there were some differences; it was denser and finer.

In short, in less than a minute, Lao Tie's arm transformed into an arm covered with something resembling scales.

That wasn't the end of it. The changes started in his arms, then his neck, then his upper body, and finally his face and even his entire head.

The amazing thing is that even though the change affected the entire head, the hair didn't fall out.

After all the Lao Tie showed such changes, Yue Yuan knew that this was what Yi Kai meant by "it's hard to explain in a few words".

He checked the time and found that the entire process would take about three minutes.

Seeing this change, Yue Yuan was about to say something, but before he could speak, he heard Xiao Huang, who had just said that Lao Tie was no good, speak up first, "Lao Tie, you still need to practice your self-control more. Watch me!"

As he spoke, Xiao Huang took two steps to Lao Tie, who was already covered in scales, and then took off his jacket, revealing his inner vest.

Then he raised his hands, bent his arms inward, and struck a pose to show off his muscles. At the same time, he closed his eyes tightly. A few seconds later, he slowly opened his eyes. He didn't have any of the body shaking movements that Lao Tie made, but his arms showed the same changes that Lao Tie.

What surprised Yue Yuan was that this change only appeared on his arms, from his hands to his arms, and did not completely cover his upper body.

"See that? Now that's what you call Qilin Arm!" A minute later, Xiao Huang, having completed the transformation, held up his arm and showed it off to Lao Tie.

While Xiao Huang was speaking, A Mei was standing next to him, had also completed her transformation at some point, or rather, entered Overclock Mode. She didn't have scales covering her face like Lao Tie, but she looked to have undergone more changes than Xiao Huang, who only changed his arms.

Because she was already wearing a low-cut top, you could see that her entire upper body had changed.

Unlike Lao Tie and Xiao Huang, who were exchanging barbs, A Mei was rather quiet. After completing the transformation, she grabbed the discus from the side without saying a word, then put all her strength into punching it.

She punched a perfectly good weightlifting disc into a fist-shaped mark.

Seeing that the effect was working, Yi Kai shouted, "Alright, you can change back now!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately went into their own states.

Yue Yuan was also curious about how they had turned back.

To his surprise once again, Yue Yuan thought that turning back would require shaking and preparing like Lao Tie, but just a few seconds after Yi Kai finished speaking, he didn't see the three of them strike various poses as before. They just stood still for a while, and then he saw changes appear on their bodies.

The bright silver scales faded even faster than they appeared, and in less than half a minute, the three of them returned to their original human appearance.

The entire process, from entering overclocking mode to exiting it, and from the change in appearance to reverting back to normal, took less than five minutes. In such a short time, the three of them went through a transformation from human to inhuman and then back to normal.

It's hard to imagine what changes occurred in their bodies during those few minutes.

Rather than being concerned about the complicated changes in appearance, Yue Yuan was more curious about how these biologists managed to do it.

As he turned to walk back to the display area, he looked at Yi Kai and asked, "How did they do that? I noticed that the three of them entered overclocking mode in different ways, but they all seemed to have gone through a preparation process. And it looks like that Lao Tie wasn't very familiar with this preparation process. Does this thing... also depend on talent?"

After watching the entire process of Human Body Overclocking, Yue Yuan felt that it had a somewhat fantastical feel to it.
