"I am Lisa, the leader here," said the red-haired woman, looking at Masao. She waved a hand and commanded, "Get a blood test. I want to see the report as soon as possible."
Two stone-robed guards walked forward to fend him off. Their massive bodies and the fact that they were carrying weapons obliterated any idea Tamura Masao would have of resisting.
Learn about the "Crimson Snake", and that this was one of the playable scenarios on Planet Proxima, the laboratory for experiments, located in the main base of the Black Dragon Organization.
. .
Blood test results were collected quickly.
Lisa went at the data she received from the follower with furrowed eyebrows.
"No errors detected?"
"The drug called Alidin mainly affects the brain. We'll need to open the head for evaluation."
Open your head. Masao spoke inwardly. Open your head
Lisa waved a hand to dismiss the idea.
"It is the only subject that has ever survived the experiment. We'll leave that option for now."
Tamura Masao's eyes lit up as he realized that his current situation was somewhat beneficial to him.
Lisa's co-worker, Joseph, wasn't happy with Lisa's decision, but he didn't make a fuss about it.
"In that case, we will monitor it for the time being to see if anything has changed."
"Go ahead with the brainwashing," Lisa ordered abruptly.
brainwashing?
Tamura Masao's heart sank. Brainwashing was a common method of subordination, and while a brainwashed character would simply become an ally of the faction, It was completely different now! Losing his sense of self was the worst case scenario.
Not possible!
The good news was that the memory alteration technology available on this planet was still very underdeveloped. The organization's methods were therefore very primitive; They made use of sensory stimuli to recalibrate the sample.
A character with at least ten points in intelligence would be immune to the effects of brainwashing.
Eden gave Tamura Masao a +1 boost to Stamina growth potential. Growth potential was the innate stat that affected the growth rate of the affected stat. Different races had different starting potentials in every stat, and in the entire Martian Falcon world,
Humans have generally had an average growth rate. However, he boasted the highest potential of intelligence. Since she had the lowest health, this single point of stamina growth potential was gentle.
Gave him [Focus]: a 10% increase in Mastery and Crafting Speed, as well as an increase in their success rates.
Gave him [Low-level Willpower]: Three points of Willpower, which replaced three points of Intelligence, So he still lacked three more IQ points to survive the brainwashing.
Boosting the lower level will boost the random stats by one, and also give me one unmarked point … But the chance of enhancing intelligence is very low...
Tamura Masao knew he couldn't count on luck. In fact , He always suspected that he was cursed. If a god or goddess smiled at him, it would be the Goddess of Calamity. Instead of relying on luck, finding a way to learn a new class was a more reliable idea.
Although Tamura Masao was unable to move freely, there must be a way! After all, it was a script, right?
Suddenly, he thought of something.
If I were an NPC... I should be protected by the system... right?
"Take it," Lisa commanded.
Tamura Masao was snatched away again and taken to another room.
Tamura Masao noticed that there was a bookshelf in this room.
Books on magic and learning to use it there were a lot of that kind
…
They were all reference books.
Wait, there's a textbook out there! Tamura Masao rejoiced.
Tamura Masao ignored the two guards behind him as he stood up to walk towards the rack.
His actions startled everyone, and immediately, the two guards were pointing his gun at him.
However, Tamura Masao heated up his nerve and continued to approach the bookshelf.
Better not shoot! was praying. I am a valuable test subject!
Joseph suddenly cried: "Don't shoot! Let's see what he wants to do."
The two guards hesitantly lowered their weapons.
Tamura Masao let out a sigh. He was treated as his first successful subject.
<< Isaac's Introduction to Magic >>
This was the book that caught Tamura Masao's attention. He picked it up from the rack and started flipping.
Although the long paragraphs of complex text and graphics were difficult for Tamura Masao to understand, he read patiently. After twenty seconds or so, the interface lit up.

as I expected! Tamura Masao rejoiced. Although he couldn't comprehend the contents of the book on his own, the Automated System Mastery System allowed him to absorb knowledge directly.
Joseph was curious. It seems that the test subject is learning!
Tamura allowed Masao to continue in order to notice him more.
The entire room was silent, except for the flipping of papers.

Tamura Masao's reading speed increased over time. However, the pressure increased on him. Every second that passed might be his last.
When Lisa reached the room, seeing Tamura Masao caused her to frown.
"What's going on?"
Joseph began to explain what happened.
"You say his ability to learn has been enhanced?"
"This is my initial conclusion. If you'll allow me to open his head for a thorough evaluation, I'll be able to come up with a more complete answer."
Tamura Masao banged. How this bastard loves brains
Lisa thought to herself, If his brain is improved, he could be more valuable than we first thought...
"Is the brainwasher ready?" she asked.
"Preparations are complete."
damn it! I must be faster! Tamura Masao thought.
Suddenly, an announcement accompanied by a sound appeared on the interface.

In terms of stats, strength improved combat damage and was also a requirement for some heavy equipment.
Maneuvering improves movement speed, attack speed, and evasion. It also gave a bonus to ranged attacks.
Endurance increases health and energy. Gave 1 point that carries 10 life points and 10 energy points. Stamina also affected some abilities and skills and increased HP and energy recovery rates.
All work required energy, whether it was attacking, dribbling, walking, running, swimming, crafting, etc.
Endurance also affected physical defense. There were many factors that contribute to the defense calculation. For example, even if two characters' defense stats are equal, Maybe one of them doesn't wear metal armor, so they'll both take more bullet damage than the other character.
Other factors affecting damage taken include energy, range, bullet type, racial characteristics, and equipment materials. All these factors were taken into account when calculating it By the Comic computer on which the servers are running.
It was impossible for players to accurately improve defense, but that wasn't a big thing, because having more defense could only be a good thing.
The effect of intelligence on growth rates and willpower. A character with higher intelligence can master their skills faster.
Mystery affected a character's talent for supernatural powers, as did psychic powers and magical abilities, such as how strength or maneuver affected physical abilities.
Beauty was useful when improving relationships with NPCs and various powers. It even enabled characters to enjoy discounts with some vendors.
Notice the effect of judgment and drop rate of items.
These are the seven main attributes to which Status Points can be added.
Then, there was also energy, a key ingredient in the game that acts as the "mana" for superpowers. It can only be increased by leveling up or by acquiring certain skills, and has been described as "a manifestation of the latent power that resides in living cells". Energy was a condition for unleashing superpowers as well
Latent awakening.
Character will receive bonus stats based on power level. the level. 1 10 Chi Points reached, level. 2 50 points, level. 3 100 points. Each power level would give random stats according to the character's class, and a character with a higher level would benefit from it. This bonus worked retroactively.
Energy was also the mana of great powers, and the extra stats received from energy were lost when the amount of remaining energy fell below the level.
For example, level 1. You will lose 1 point bonus when energy drops below 10 points; The character will get tired after the strength is exhausted, and this affects their fighting ability.
Energy is recovered automatically but at a slow rate. However, Stamina can be used to recover energy faster. Also, when using superpowers without enough energy, Stamina can be used as a substitute, and when there is not enough energy and stamina, health can be used. Many players ended up dying carelessly by sucking themselves dry in this way.
The character class reflects their fighting strength. The characters are arranged according to their grades. The standard unit of energy is mana.
Superheroes are rated A, B, C, D, or E, based on their mana levels.
