Energy Storage Cells and Mobility Organs

Inside the fish's belly, Luo Fan carefully absorbed the nutrients around him.

After having spent some time here, Luo Fan found surprisingly that this place was much safer than the outside world.

In the outside world, there was a big fire, dangerous kinds of fishes, and those bacteria…

Here, there was no danger except the stomach acid.

Moreover, there was plenty of food and nourishment here. It was like heaven.

He did not have to worry about running out of energy and dying if he could not find food, nor did he have to worry about being preyed upon by wild beasts because he could not move.

When the stomach acid could not do anything to Luo Fan, he was like a parasite residing inside the stomach of this fish.

Although Luo Fan was a parasite here, he knew how to develop in a gradual and sustainable manner.

He did not wish to waste such a safe place where he could develop peacefully.

Thus, Luo Fan began to develop obscenely here. Every time, he would only absorb a small portion of the fish and shrimps, leaving most of the stuff for the owner of the stomach.

Five days passed in such a manner.

In the belly of the fish, by absorbing the rotten flesh around him, Luo Fan finally restored the eyeball and repaired the eight intestines.

For the past five days, Luo Fan had been sitting in the fish's stomach, absorbing obscenely.

Even after he had been living in the fish's stomach for five days, the big black fish still had not sensed anything.

Luo Fan opened his eye and looked around.

His eyeball had been fully mended, and he had the ability to "see" again.

However, no light could enter the fish's stomach so all Luo Fan saw was darkness.

The eyeball rotated. Eight thin intestines were connected to it from below.

[Name: Luo Fan]

[Intellect Level: Ordinary human]

[Physical mass: 12.1 grams]

[Form structure: Eyeball (Mainframe that carries consciousness), intestines (absorb matter and convert matter)]

[Form distribution:…]

After absorbing and evolving, the mass of Luo Fan's eyeball came to 12.1 grams.

All his cells had reached level-2.

With all his cells reaching level-2, Luo Fan paused his development.

"What should I do next? What other organs do I need?"

Luo Fan began to ponder. At present, he had those that carried intelligence and could absorb energy.

"The next step is to create an organ that can allow me to move. Otherwise, when I leave the fish's stomach, it will be difficult for me to survive without the ability to move.

"And also organs that can store energy, such as cells that can store fat and sugar…"

Luo Fan thought for a while and suddenly stopped. He thought of something else.

"What is required to evolve a level-3 cell?"

With all the cells in his body becoming level-2, Luo Fan suddenly became curious about what was needed to evolve a level- 3 cell?

From Luo Fan's hunch, level-2 cells would not be the end and they definitely could evolve again.

After asking, he received a message.

[The requirement for evolving a level-3 cell: 10 joules of energy, 0.001 milligrams of bio-energy.]

The system quickly gave Luo Fan a hint, telling him the materials needed to upgrade a cell from level-2 to level-3.

"What is bio-energy?"

Luo Fan was puzzled. He had never heard of this term before.

[A mixed energy formed when supernatural energy fuses into a creature's body.]

The system quickly gave Luo Fan an explanation.

But Luo Fan still could not understand and he continued to ask, "What is supernatural energy?"

[A type of energy in the natural world; it is the basis for comprehending laws]

"Comprehending laws?"

Hearing this, Luo Fan was still very confused, but he held back his desire to continue asking.

He understood that the system could not explain the term supernatural energy to him.

It was like he could not explain a rock to a child. It was something which existed in nature. One failed to understand it because one had not seen it.

Thus, Luo Fan changed his line of questioning.

"How can bio-energy be found? How to identify it?"

[Supernatural creatures contain bio-energy in their bodies.]

"That's enough."

Luo Fan understood. He did not bother to ask how to find supernatural creatures.

Those that were different from the normal creatures on the blue planet could possibly be supernatural creatures.

Luo Fan would have to search and find them himself.

"Therefore, the priority now was to create the organs for locomotion and storage so he could find the supernatural creatures."

After learning the requirements to evolve a level-3 cell, Luo Fan set a target.

The next target was to produce energy storage cells and the organs for locomotion.

"Where should the energy storage cells be placed?"

Luo Fan was clear that the purpose of producing energy storage cells was so he could survive for a considerable period on his own in the outside world after leaving the fish's stomach.

"Placing them around the intestines will enable the converted energy to be stored quickly, and this will also save space. I'll also need to create some inside the eyeball as a backup energy source. All the energy storage cells cannot be placed in a single location."

He thought about this, and raised his body to observe. In the end, he decided to create energy storage cells in a circle around the eight intestines and also some energy storage cells in the eyeball.

"As for the organs of locomotion, I'll just add some limbs under the eyeball."

Luo Fan thought casually. He was actually not that concerned about the organs of locomotion.

As long as he could support the eyeball, it was fine. As for whether he could move, or balance himself and so on, he could use the eight intestines to make up for it.

The eight intestines could be said to also possess a certain ability to move.

Therefore, the organs of locomotion he would create need not be perfect, as long as they could just walk.

After a simple calculation, Luo Fan chose a few spots on his body and began to focus his energy on those places.

"There's not enough energy. I need to continue to absorb energy."

When dividing cells, a large amount of energy was needed.

To achieve his next target, Luo Fan ordered the intestines to continue absorption.

"This time, I'll eat more. You can eat less."

Luo Fan thought in silence.

"As long as the amount is controlled, this fish will not die."

This time, Luo Fan was no longer modest.

Having already taken root here, he began to become dissatisfied with the slow absorption.

With the previous absorption speed, it would be very difficult for Luo Fan to achieve the two targets in a short time.

Therefore, he increased his absorption speed.

The eight intestines inserted into the stomach, and started to absorb the already decomposed fish and shrimps.

When fish and shrimps got into the stomach, they would be digested, and then turned into feces and excreted.

In a way, Luo Fan was eating shit right now, and he was savoring it.

This eyeball resided in the center of the stomach. Eight intestines split from the eyeball and stabbed in all directions.

The eyeball was like a monster that had been placed in a nutrient tank. The intestines were like pipes that fed energy to the monster. The decomposed flesh around it were all nutrients.

The stomach of this big black fish had clearly become a cabin for Luo Fan's incubation.

The monster was growing inside the fish.

...

Two days passed.

"The energy storage cells have finally been completed!"

Luo Fan sighed with emotion. Then, he began to increase energy to create the organs of locomotion.
