Lu Xi'an felt that he and Yao Wei were truly good people in this world, otherwise, they wouldn't have received so many 'good person' cards.

Actually, it's pretty nice. In such a world, if people can still think you're a good person, it proves that your persistence in yourself has always been quite good, still a person.

He and Yao Wei didn't linger here and only exchanged a few words with Hu Xiaodong and his son, asking when they planned to leave, before departing.

The father and son had traveled by boat from East Island, went to Caiyang Mountain, hadn't stayed long, then went back out to sea to kill turtles, and came into close contact with the Fungus Stone. By this time, they were already exhausted.

So they planned to rest here for a night and leave early the next day.

Both were somewhat prepared, bringing some dried food to stave off hunger. When they took off their clothes earlier, they left the dried food on the shore, so they at least had something to eat.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei didn't intend for them to eat their seabirds, just planning to consume the dried food and eat the bird meat when they got back to the East Sea.

— Of course, this was also because they crossed the sea without a source of fire.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei let them be and didn't intervene. After driving back to the mountaintop, they were eager to go to bed without even wanting to eat.

The original Fungus Stone was set aside, and lying in bed, they held the new pearl white Fungus Stone together.

That night, they slept exceptionally well, holding the brand-new Fungus Stone, without even dreaming, and when they opened their eyes again, it was already daylight.

"How do you feel?"

Lu Xi'an sat up, took a moment to sense his condition, and then asked Yao Wei.

Yao Wei quietly perceived her own state before responding to Lu Xi'an, "Very good, feels better than that other Fungus Stone."

"Yeah, I feel it too..."

Lu Xi'an said.

This Fungus Stone seemed more compatible with them, enhancing their strengths, especially in terms of physical strength, incomparable to Chai Xin's Fungus Stone.

Of course, Chai Xin's Fungus Stone also improved their physical strength, but the enhancement was more balanced.

Things like cold resistance, hunger endurance, tolerance, etc., were also enhanced.

But this Fungus Stone clearly didn't.

This one seemed to abandon other enhancements, focusing on enhancing the advantages of Type A Neo-Humans.

Could it be that Fungus Stones are categorized into Types A, B, C, and D?!

This idea suddenly flashed through Lu Xi'an's mind.

He promptly asked the mechanical dog, "Gou, what's different about these two Fungus Stones?"

The mechanical dog replied, "Through connection with the Resonant Gene Scanner data analysis, it can be confirmed that the structure of the old Fungus Stone is a Type D-1 X-17 Strain aggregate, with a core formed by Type D-1 Strain conglomeration into a D-type strain.

"The new Fungus Stone has a Type A strain core, with an external structure of a Type D-1 Strain aggregate, which has undergone mutations due to long-term influence by the Type A strain core."

Lu Xi'an understood, "So, these two Fungus Stones are indeed different. That's why the previous one could allow Chai Xin to evolve into a Type D Neo-Human, providing us with a more balanced enhancement.

"While this new one offers the greatest enhancement to us, right?"

The mechanical dog replied, "Correct."

Lu Xi'an's heart pounded, and he asked, "How could a Type A strain be in this sea?"

The mechanical dog replied, "Mechanical Dog 02 cannot answer."

Lu Xi'an tried a different approach, "Then what happened here before?"

The mechanical dog replied, "Mechanical Dog 02 has no stored relevant information, cannot answer."

Lu Xi'an asked further, "Then can this Fungus Stone be used to mass-produce Type A Neo-Humans?"

The dog replied, "Cannot mass-produce. According to the Resonant Gene Scanner data analysis, the X-17 Strain of the Fungus Stone's core will cause a strong rejection reaction upon contact with non-Type A, B, C, D Neo-Humans.

"This rejection reaction will cause the rapid death of the contactor. Only a very few people can be immune to this rejection reaction.

"The structure built by the Type A core and Type D-1 shell will further enhance this rejection, making the immune individual approximate zero."

Lu Xi'an then asked, "What about if there's green water? The one at the top of East Mountain in Jianshan City, which you scanned before."

The dog's data analysis processing capability was very strong, immediately understanding what Lu Xi'an was referring to, promptly replied, "The green water you mentioned is only effective against the rejection reaction produced by the X-17 Strain reagent.

"The core condensed by the Fungus Stone has a density structure far stronger than the X-17 Strain reagent and its effect far exceeds the X-17 Strain reagent; hence the rejection reaction, the green water cannot relieve."

"I see."

Lu Xi'an nodded, feeling a sense of pity, yet, not knowing why, he unexpectedly felt a sense of relief.

He turned back and asked Yao Wei, "Did you understand?"

Yao Wei nodded, "Yes, I understand. We'll use this new one in the future."

Hmm...

This woman has quite a simple understanding.

Lu Xi'an said, "Let's use both."

Yao Wei's eyebrows shot up, and she resolutely said, "We still have to use the new one, we'll continue as before, holding it while sleeping."

She thought Lu Xi'an was trying to force himself, planning to take the old one while letting her take the new one while sleeping.

She would never allow this.

Yet Lu Xi'an laughed and said, "You misunderstood, I meant that we should use the new Fungus Stone for enhancement and training, then when we go out to fight, you take the new one, and I'll take the old one."

"In that case, if we ever encounter any issues and get injured, we can heal ourselves right away."

"Yeah."

Yao Wei sighed in relief upon hearing Lu Xi'an say this, but she insisted firmly, "You take the new one, I'll take the old one."

Lu Xi'an chuckled, "Alright, alright, we'll sort that out later, it's not that important. Competing over everything doesn't make sense."

Though internally, he felt somewhat touched. This woman always wanted to save the best for herself, just like him.

The two got out of the car, ready to exercise.

They took a glance at the sea and saw the rising sun casting shadows of a boat, two figures slowly drifting away.

The surface of the sea gently rippled, reflecting glistening red light, rocking the boat slightly, yet it remained fairly stable.

In no time, the two people and the boat became distant, turning into a small dot.

"They've left."

Lu Xi'an said.

"Yeah."

Yao Wei nodded.

Lu Xi'an said, "After our exercise, let's drive down the mountain and head north. The seawater should recede in a couple of days. As soon as it recedes, we'll leave immediately."

"Yeah."

Yao Wei nodded again, showing no objection to Lu Xi'an's plan.

So they started exercising.

As they exercised, the different directions and intensities of enhancement from the two Fungus Stones became increasingly apparent.

After a night relying on the new Fungus Stone for enhancement, they felt their bodies were getting stronger, so much so that their will struggled to keep up.

During sparring sessions, they occasionally relied entirely on instinct, whether attacking or defending; their bodies moved before thoughts could form.

However, this feeling seemed good. As their bodies slowly adapted to the proper movements and exertion postures, the power unleashed by leaving it to instincts far exceeded their conscious efforts.

—Of course, the prerequisite was that their bodies gradually adapted to the correct force-exertion method.

Only in this way could the greatest strength, the greatest speed, and the greatest attack power be unleashed.

Surrendering thought, leaving everything to instinct, surprisingly yielded such good results, and making them feel so comfortable while sparring, was something he never could have imagined.

So, is the ultimate evolution of Type A Neo-Humans to abandon the brain?

This thought involuntarily emerged in his mind.

However, Yao Wei didn't seem to like this very much. As she fought, her brows furrowed.

Lu Xi'an paused for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yao Wei pondered for a moment and expressed her thoughts, "I've figured out how to fight you, how to avoid your vital points, block your attacks, and strike you back, but my body always moves faster, beyond my control.

"Isn't that wrong? But why do I feel that relying on my thoughts would make me lose to you, yet when my body moves on its own, I can fight back and forth with you?"

She still didn't like the sensation of losing control, but the problem was that this lack of control seemed to make her stronger.

This was completely different from what she had always known, leaving her feeling lost.

Lu Xi'an thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I'm the same. I think we haven't actually lost control of ourselves. It's more like our bodies have learned to think on their own.

"Consider our fights: when our bodies exert force, throw punches, or kick, muscle control is still guided by our previous training, isn't it?

"It's not like when we make out, leaving everything to desire.

"In a fight, at crucial moments, whether to keep going or retreat is still under our control."

Ah, what he was internally complaining about was that the ultimate evolution of Type A Neo-Humans was about giving up the brain, but he absolutely couldn't tell Yao Wei that.

After hearing Lu Xi'an's words, Yao Wei pondered for a while, then said, "Alright, let me compare."

Huh?!

Lu Xi'an was slightly surprised, and then Yao Wei pinned him against the wall.

"Thud!"

The back of his head hit the camper's outer shell, not really hurting, and he didn't care whether it hurt. He immediately embraced Yao Wei, giving her the most passionate response.

Then, part of that response was blocked by her hand.

Ha! This woman, even now and when fighting, was no different—always controlled in her advance and retreat, quite rational!

Lu Xi'an thought grudgingly, might as well treat this as another sparring match and leave everything to instinct.

After a long time, their only connection was a thin, transparent silken thread, and Lu Xi'an looked directly into Yao Wei's eyes, seeing her eyes ripple like waves.

"It seems there's not much difference..."

Yao Wei said so.

Lu Xi'an: "Then how about we usually train this way?"

"But it's not useful, is it?"

Yao Wei said, "If it's useful, we could give it a try."
