Mercer's confident blow seemed a bit interesting to Chen Changsheng, but as for whether it could hurt Chen Changsheng, that was haha.

In terms of body density, Chen Changsheng was the first to compress Blacklight Virus. At this point, Chen Changsheng is in the lead, but when it comes to compression, everyone is basically on the same level. Therefore, even if Chen Changsheng leads, it is only a small step ahead.

Later, Chen Changsheng was different after absorbing the genes of Asgardian race. This was leading Mercer and Elizabeth to a new level. At this time, Chen Changsheng has a body similar to that of an insect god, and its density alone is infinitely stronger than that of Mercer.

As Mercer's Blacklight Blade hit Chen Changsheng in the chest, Chen Changsheng stood there without moving at all. But Mercer's sharp blade only penetrated a little and was blocked.

Therefore, even if Chen Changsheng stood there and let Mercer take action, it is estimated that Mercer would not be able to break Chen Changsheng's defense.

After missing a hit, Mercer instantly distanced himself and looked at Chen Changsheng who was standing not far away in shock.

Hey, it seems familiar!

An unknown amount of time has passed, and Mercer has experienced many different virtual lives in the virtual world. For a while, he has not fully used the abilities belonging to Blacklight Virus. At this time, Mercer cannot remember who Chen Changsheng is.

But he didn't wait long, Mercer's shock had not dissipated, and long-standing memories had already appeared in his mind. The figure of a person who had hurt him deeply gradually overlapped with the person in front of him.

The next moment, Mercer screamed, "Jack!"

This is very scientific. Chen Changsheng is quite pleased to see that his old friend is still the same and still knows him so well. I am still me, the ordinary boy next door...

But Mercer had a different idea. Looking at Chen Changsheng's face, he could only roar loudly, "Do you know how much harm that big fight caused to me!"

However, the situation was stronger than the person. The expression on Mercer's face flickered for a while and then stopped. After trying hard to smile towards Chen Changsheng, Mercer said softly, "Jack, you are back."

Although he feels bad about Chen Changsheng, it is undeniable that the good life now is given by Chen Changsheng, so Mercer does not dare to be too public. Even after the words were spoken, Mercer felt a little regretful. He always felt that his voice was too loud...

Of course Chen Changsheng didn't know that Mercer had so many psychological changes, but looking at Mercer who was much more polite, Chen Changsheng sincerely lamented that time would change a lot. He used to be a hot-blooded young man who would tear anyone alive if he disagreed with him, and he would hammer Tank with his hand. Now he is also polite and polite.

Looking back at the human form, Mercer is still wearing a hood and the classic skin of jeans. Chen Changsheng also feels that his youth is gone forever...

After reminiscing for a while, Chen Changsheng finally said, "Mercer, how are your life lately?"

When Mercer heard this, his head hurt. In the past, every time Mercer heard this, he would be grabbed by Chen Changsheng and absorb Blacklight Virus... This was no better than donating blood. In Mercer's opinion, this was definitely crueler than cutting flesh, but he couldn't feel the pain either.

Although it is not painful, it does require a lot of conditioned reflexes. Shaking the unpleasant memories out of his head, Mercer said, "My life is not bad, but it feels like the changes are too fast. I feel it is a little difficult for me to accept it."

This is true. Although Mercer is an aggregate of Blacklight Virus, he is also a rule-abiding person. Mercer is quite supportive of the rules currently formulated by the brainworms. After all, no matter how you say it, Mercer can be regarded as someone who enjoys privileges...

Within the rules, Mercer cannot be like Absorbing Man at will, which is why Mercer still maintains his independent character. Because of the strong inertia of habits, Mercer cannot keep up with the rapidly changing society. Maybe this is the reason why he is addicted to the virtual world.

After thinking about it, Mercer was also his old friend, so Chen Changsheng decided to provide him with some nzt-48, at least to make this kind of person keep up with the times. nzt-48 itself has side effects, and Blacklight Body is not immune to it. It's just that the damage suffered is reduced and the repair is faster. Therefore, Chen Changsheng still needs to be made clear before administration.

"Mercer, I recently got a new drug that can increase the utilization rate of the human brain to 100%. Of course, it will also cause some damage to the human brain..." Chen Changsheng felt that what he said was sincere, but it always felt weird. It was like trying Mercer to test the drug.

Looking at Mercer's strange expression, Chen Changsheng pondered over it, and then added, "This side effect is nothing to me, Blacklight Virus polymer."

... Well, this is even weirder.

Mercer looked at Chen Changsheng's kind and sincere eyes and felt that he had no other choice. He gritted his teeth and decided to try the medicine honestly. This look of death-defying expression really made Chen Changsheng's hands freeze in the air.

Mercer took the small transparent pill and took a look at it. Thinking that the long-term pain would be worse than the short-term pain, he swallowed it in one gulp. Seeing Mercer taking such initiative, Chen Changsheng also opened his mouth and gave it a dry slap. That's it, it's not like I'm trying to hurt him, so why bother explaining.

The effect of the medicine came very quickly. After thirty seconds, Chen Changsheng could already feel the changes in Mercer. The unique temperament was easy to feel.

This magical feeling is probably the same as the special effects for the elves when watching The Lord of the Rings. People can see the most special one among the crowd at a glance.

And Mercer is in a state of confusion as he takes drugs for the first time. This feeling of clear mind and quick thinking is really not ordinary! Carefully feeling the changes in myself, Mercer even felt like I was going to heaven.

Mercer's eyes had soft light effects at this time, and various information from the surrounding environment continued to pour into Mercer's mind, and Mercer's own longer memories were constantly emerging.

Not only his own memory, the memories of humans who were once absorbed by Mercer and stored in Mercer Web of Conspiracy are also particularly clear. In the past, what bothered Mercer most was the memories from dead people, because Mercer felt that they did not belong to him.

But at this time, with the addition of nzt-48, Mercer felt that the previously messy Web of Conspiracy became clear. He could even edit and fuse these memories to obtain the information he wanted.

Even though the information is decades ago, Mercer still enjoys it. It feels like archeology, digging up your own secrets.
