23 AI MIA

The rewards were getting out of hand. He had received more than he had used.

Some things he had received had yet to be used and were piling up. but he could only wait.

The rate at which he developed was so fast that he could hardly keep up with himself. He might just be buried in his vast wealth if he was not careful.

But that all changed the moment he received [Extreme Intelligence].

His stats might not have changed because he had reached the limit of his natural evolutionary scope, but that did not mean there were no effects.

His body as a whole had reached the limit, but that did not mean that his organs could not improve.

His brain underwent a huge transformation as a cool feeling spread throughout his body. His nerves were overly active and every stimulus was captured accurately.

He could even feel the slightest changes in temperature and wind pressure.

He was staying on the 35th floor, there were too many factors that influenced the place and he could tell every single one from the minute changes in his environment.

The smells in the air became more distinct and he could even tell how humid it was. He thought that feeling all these things would make him uncomfortable, but that was not the case.

Feeling these things made his mind start to work on overdrive.

Many useless thoughts passed but each was thought out to the end. It was as if he had gained parallel thinking and thought acceleration.

But he knew that it was too much and that was just an illusion. The human brain is complex and difficult to master.

There are thousands of thoughts and processes going on at the same instant. It is just that we are only cognizant of the dominant one.

He also received [Extreme Gymnastics] which increased his strength and coordination. While his stats did not improve, he was sure that once he got a gene lock potion, his overall improvement would be vastly superior to the base improvement.

But that did not hinder him from feeling the changes. His strength was already at the limit. But mobilizing it and controlling it was not as easy.

His strength might be at 200 but that could only be after measuring the strength of his whole body. With extreme gymnastics, he could use his every muscle to mobilize said strength. And the total sum of it was not as simple as 1+1.

His coordination was also insane. With his intelligence, his control over his whole body had reached a freaky level.

It would not be wrong to say that he had gained superpowers.

[Extreme Poker face] was the ability that could be said to have confused him the most. It gave him absolute control over his expression, but his emotions stayed the same.

While he was sure that they would not influence him much, who is to say that it was impossible?

But that was the ability he needed the most at this moment. He was starting a game with some cunning monsters and every bit of control would give him an advantage.

It would be bad if his every move was read like a book. And it was better if they did not know his thoughts and feelings unless he let them.

An abstract thing like feng shui was the least of his worries. [Extreme Fengshui] gave him mastery over geomancy and it was not just Chinese geomancy.

He had received skills that he did not even understand. For one to be confused, they must at least understand a bit.

But he understood none of it.

This skill included abstract things like luck, fate, and destiny which were all intangible. But that was just the basics.

Using arrangements to draw these things was child's play to him.

He could now read the stars and even feel the flow of these abstract things. His every action had also started being influenced by this.

Even the position he was sitting in now was the most optimal. But that was never an issue. With his [Extreme Etiquette] and [Extreme Luck] it'd be weird if he found himself in a bad position.

But that was the least of his worries.

Right now, every cell of his being was telling him that the position of his planet was wrong.

He did not know how that worked, but he had a nagging feeling that the position of the whole planet was very disadvantageous.

While it did not pose any danger, it did not bring any benefits either. One could even say that it hindered the planet from developing.

But that did not give him a solution. All he could do was ignore this strange feeling for now. But that did not mean there was nothing for him to do.

The arrangement of his apartment was wrong. The arrangement of the whole estate was wrong. And it made him feel uncomfortable.

He moved the furniture for a bit under the baffled gaze of Aria until he was somewhat satisfied. As for the estate, he did not plan on living here for long.

When everything was done, he decided to look at the things he received.

A level 3 supercomputer from 8 generations into the future was overkill in this era. He took it out of the inventory and was shocked at how small it was.

It was a 4-inch cuboid that did not have any notable features. If he were to see it elsewhere, he might have thought that it was a sculpture or something.

It was very low key and he could not learn anything from its looks, except for its perfect frame.

With a thought, the glasses linked to it and it was online. But nothing changed with the cube. Placing it aside, he took out the level 3 AI.

A progress bar appeared on his AR glasses but was done in 2 seconds and a mechanical voice with a feminine touch sounded in his mind.

<Hello. I am MIA, an Artificial Intelligence that is capable of basic operations. A pleasure to serve you.>
