Yun Qingshang was unconscious for a long time before she finally groggily woke up.

The moment she opened her eyes, she felt that something was off. She was in a cramped and dark place. It was damp and cold, and the decorations in the room were exceptionally simple.

More importantly, the room was constantly swaying, which didn’t make her feel safe.

“This is a boat…”

Yun Qingshang immediately came to her senses. Even though she’d never been on a real boat before, she had experienced it many times during her simulation training, so she wasn’t a stranger to boats.

“You’re awake.”

Gao Xuan, who was sitting in a daze in one corner of the room, immediately noticed Yun Qingshang’s movements.

He shuffled to Yun Qingshang’s side and stuffed a nutrient supplement into her mouth. “Eat something,” he said, “Then continue sleeping. It’ll be a few days before we touch land.”

Yun Qingshang didn’t think too much about what was going on. Even if she were in hell, she wouldn’t be scared as long as Gao Xuan was at her side.

She obediently consumed ten vials of the concentrated nutrient supplement and couldn’t help but slip into another deep sleep after her body received the nutrients it needed.

“Sleep without worry, obedient child. Leave everything to me…”

Gao Xuan sighed, “Unfortunately, I don’t have a suitable identity to surf the web with. I’ve bitterly stayed at this dilapidated place for a dozen days.”

There were communication satellites throughout the skies of Pegasus Planet. The signal of the Skynet covered the entire planet.

However, Gao Xuan didn’t have a suitable identity to access the Skynet with. He would definitely leave behind lots of digital traces if he suddenly accessed it.

It would be easy to trace the sign-on back to him if any problems arose in the future.

It was extremely boring on the narrow deck of the boat. There was no one to talk to. All Gao Xuan could do was bitterly tolerate the situation.

Gao Xuan had just lay down when he suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor. Even though there was a wall between them, detailed features of the two men appeared clearly in his mind.

One of the men had a height of 193.33654 centimeters and weighed 162114.24457 grams. The other one was much shorter, only 165.54471 centimeters tall. He weighed 64457.24574 grams.

The two of them were equipped with guns, daggers, anti-poison masks, and two poison bombs.

They could be described as “fully equipped.”

Both men were rather tanned and had wrinkles on their faces. Their hair was also abnormally withered and yellow, a characteristic of divers who permanently lived on the water.

Gao Xuan hadn’t been slacking off during his dozen days on the boat.

He had made use of his leisure time to consolidate what he’d learned and create a database for himself.

Optical computer technology was going to improve in a few years. Artificial intelligence would become more advanced and capable of in-depth observations of the human body. Humans would also become used to managing themselves with optical computer chips.

Everything from their thoughts to their bodies could be analyzed and quantified with numbers. That was the true digital age.

Gao Xuan didn’t have such an advanced optical computer chip, nor would he install such a thing in his brain.

This so-called digitalization was a human’s attempt to understand and analyze themselves on a deeper level.

It was like going to a hospital for a full-body checkup and going through tests using machines to obtain various data.

Data like blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids were all an attempt at quantifying the human body.

However, because of the limits of the testing equipment, many areas of the human body couldn’t be quantified. For example, emotional state, intelligence quotient, etc.

The Six-Winged Heavenly Cicada was a top-notch Gold Grade Miracle Item. It trumped any scientific equipment in the world. It was better than any intelligent optical computer out there.

In this universe, the Six-Winged Heavenly Cicada was the entity that most understood Gao Xuan.

Through the Six-Winged Heavenly Cicada, Gao Xuan could examine his body and mind and quantify them using the simplest of data.

Name: Gao Xuan

Age: 18 years

Gender: Male

Height: 188.88888 centimeters

Weight: 100000.00013 grams

Constitution: 13 (The standard number for an average healthy 20-year-old male is 10)

Mind: 28

Strength: 12

Dexterity: 15

Source Power Level: Level Three (Iron)

Extreme Light Sword Technique: Level Five (Gold)

Flying Swallow Twin Dagger Technique: Level Five (Gold)

Six-Winged Heavenly Cicada: Gold Grade Miracle Item (Bronze)

God Slaying Sword: Gold Grade Miracle Item (Bronze)

Twin Black Crow Daggers: Made of titanium

Arbalest Handgun: Premium handgun

…

All of this data stemmed from Gao Xuan’s data-driven analysis of himself.

Out of all the data, the areas of Mind, Constitution, Dexterity, and Strength were all adjusted values using an average healthy 20-year-old male as a baseline.

The human body was complicated and intricate. Source Power, abilities, body, and mind all affected one another. Thus, Gao Xuan’s strength and dexterity stats were all rather normal. In fact, they weren’t much stronger than Yun Qingshang’s.

However, his mental power had reached 28 points.

This kind of mental power was stronger than even an average Gold fighter’s.

In his previous life, Gao Xuan was a King of Assassins with a name that struck fear in the hearts of everyone: Heavenly Cicada.

While he might not have been the strongest fighter out of the many Gold fighters in the world, he’d been acknowledged as the person with the strongest spiritual quality.
