Chapter 121 Debugging Exoskeleton

"Oh, I know."

Ye Ren nodded. I already knew this. After all, the exoskeleton was inserted into the skin. Although I don’t know how the system did it, but the exoskeleton is gone, so the defense is greatly reduced. It is reasonable to say.

After that, Ye Ren tried the hidden function several times and roughly determined the time when the hidden function would activate.

If it is hidden, the time may be a little longer. Generally, the exoskeleton armor can be retracted into the body in about ten seconds, while the insect tentacles are faster, about five seconds, but if the hidden function is canceled It is much faster than opening and hiding. Ye Ren calculated that the exoskeleton can appear in less than one second, and the tentacles can also appear in two seconds.

In the recessive state, Ye Ren carefully observed his skin, as if he could not see the characteristics of the exoskeleton armor at all, but once the recessive function was turned off, his skin would rapidly expand within a second And it turned black and shiny, turning into an exoskeleton armor emitting faint black light, and its speed exceeded Ye Ren's imagination.

"Okay, next is the debugging pool..." Without too much research on the hidden functions, Ye Ren turned his attention to the new pool that appeared after the system upgrade, the debugging pool.

It was no different from lying in the evolution pool in the past, Ye Ren was lying in the debugging pool this time.

When Ye Ren was lying in the debugging pool, his eyes suddenly went dark, and a shrunken image of himself appeared in front of him. According to the information entered into his mind by the system before, this represented The debugging pool has been activated. The virtual self in front of you is the template. You can modify part of the physiological structure or even the entire appearance of your template through consciousness. After the modification, the system will automatically evaluate the required evolution points.

Compared with the two systematic functions of evolution pool and regression pool, this debugging pool is indeed a very flexible and free function.

With a thought, Ye Ren took off a piece of exoskeleton carapace from his own template, and then enlarged it. After enlarging the fragments of the exoskeleton carapace the size of a fingernail, Ye Ren finally saw the structure of his own carapace clearly. Those are very tiny black tubular fibers, intertwined layer upon layer, tightly and complicatedly woven into fragments of this piece of exoskeleton armor. The interior of these tiny tubular fibers is hollow and has a certain Toughness, looks strong and light.

"I wonder if the exoskeletons of other insects have the same structure..."

After seeing the structure of the exoskeleton, Ye Ren couldn't help sighing at the ingenious workmanship of nature. No wonder the carapace of the scorpion wasp is so hard. It turns out that the carapace structure of this thing is so delicate. Come up and debug your own exoskeleton structure.

I don't know whether the structure of this exoskeleton was like this at the beginning, or the system was optimized to this way after evolution. In short, this structure surprised Ye Ren a little, and even made him feel a little helpless.

However, although it is impossible to do it from a micro perspective, Ye Ren can also change the shape of the exoskeleton carapace on his body.

Ye Ren first carefully looked at his exoskeleton carapace, and then peeled it off from his body, but as soon as the exoskeleton carapace on the model was peeled off, there was a large bloody area on the model's body. , Even the skin was gone, which shocked Ye Ren.

"The exoskeleton replaced the skin?" Ye Ren quickly thought of the problem.

"Theoretically, the exoskeleton of insects is very good, but because of the physiological structure of insects, they can only use a tubular breathing system instead of a negative pressure breathing system, so the oxygen utilization rate is low, but I don't seem to have this problem..."

After briefly recalling the information he had consulted, Ye Ren closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then he was relieved. Although the exoskeleton replaced his skin, it was just a fighting form. The carapace of the skeleton will still turn into skin, so this will not cause much trouble. Compared with the powerful defense brought by the exoskeleton, these problems are not a problem at all.

Having figured this out, Ye Ren began to carefully observe his own exoskeleton carapace.

The exoskeleton that cost more than 2 evolution points is indeed worthy of the price. The entire exoskeleton carapace is covered with a layer of dark light, and all joints are also very tightly protected. The whole body except the mouth, ears and nostrils , even the eyes were blocked by a translucent dark red crystal plate.

However, I don't know if there is something wrong with the system's aesthetics. Most of the exoskeleton's carapace is arc-shaped and very smooth. It does look somewhat similar to some insects.

After thinking about it, Ye Ren started to adjust the appearance of the carapace.

First, the thickness of the carapace was slightly adjusted, and the thickness of the vital parts was increased for good protection, while the thickness of the parts that need to be moved flexibly was slightly reduced to facilitate movement. Ye Ren specially used the exoskeleton on the shoulders and some parts of the body Some sharp and sharp bone spurs were created, and these bone spurs were very effective against pythons. If a giant python wanted to wrap around Ye Ren, he would definitely be bruised and bruised before that.

In addition, Ye Ren also specially thickened the carapace of the fist part, so that Ye Ren's fist is full of lethality like wearing a steel glove.

Originally, Ye Ren wanted to create sharp claws like Wolverine, but the system kindly reminded Ye Ren that the exoskeleton is not Edman metal after all. This structure is not suitable for exerting force and is easy to break. Ye Ren considered After a while, I gave up and changed to a thickened exoskeleton boxer.

Ye Ren also made a series of fine adjustments to the exoskeletons on the soles of his feet and palms. In fact, the adjustments were nothing more than creating countless inward micro-serrations. When Ye Ren climbed, he could resemble It is like the climbing thorns brought by the spider gene. It pierces the object it is climbing shallowly, so that Ye Ren itself will not fall down.

In addition to the soles of the feet and palms, Ye Ren also created a large climbing spine on the carapace of each toe.

This kind of climbing thorn is like a nail on ice climbing shoes. It can penetrate objects by bending the toes, and then obtain a firm grasping ability. Through these large or small barbs, Yeren can easily tighten Clings to many things, whether it's a tree or the body of a beast.

This kind of large barb also exists on Ye Ren's forearm, but the one on Ye Ren's forearm can no longer be called a climbing thorn.

There is a row of reverse bone blades of about two to three centimeters arranged on Ye Ren's forearm, extending from the wrist to the elbow. The sharp blade tips are all neatly arranged towards the elbow. These bone blades are like a row of saw teeth. , not only can be used to hook objects, but also can be used as a sharp saw blade or knife blade, which is very convenient.

As for the fingers, although there are not as many climbing thorns as on the toes, Ye Ren designed the tips of the fingers into sharp claw shapes, just like the nails of an eagle, which also have excellent grabbing ability, and are also It can easily penetrate tree trunks and the body tissues of some animals.

"System, make a settlement."

After finishing changing the appearance of the exoskeleton, Ye Ren said to the system in his heart.

"The settlement is complete. Master, you have adjusted part of the appearance of the exoskeleton's genetic structure. The degree of modification is moderate, and the performance evaluation is excellent. A total of 5000 evolution points have been spent. Are you sure?"

"So expensive..."

Hearing the five thousand points, Ye Ren was also stunned for a moment: "I just adjusted the thickness and shape, so it's so expensive?"

"After debugging by the owner, the structural performance of the exoskeleton gene is very good, so charging 5000 evolution points is not expensive."

the system explained.

"Really?" Ye Ren rolled his eyes: "Then wait, I'll continue to debug..."

"Ok."

After hearing Ye Ren's words, the system still replied in a calm and dull tone, and then fell silent.

Ye Ren did not simply adjust the exoskeleton this time, because the exoskeleton had been adjusted to the limit by himself, and Ye Ren could not adjust anything on the exoskeleton for the time being. His goal this time was his own muscles.

After studying his own muscle structure and nerve connections for a long time, Ye Ren added a small carefully made muscle plexus inside his nose and ears, and their abilities are also very simple. When the time comes, the nose and ears are tightly closed, and then the hard exoskeleton will firmly hide them under the carapace to prevent things that should not get in from taking the opportunity to get in.

Either bugs or liquids.

In fact, this ability is not something that Ye Ren came up with himself. Ye Ren took a vicious look at his lower body. Because of the exoskeleton, his little partner has been completely hidden inside the hard carapace. Only Ye Ren When thinking about it, Xiao Yeren will emerge from the gap in the carapace.

So Ye Ren copied his body openly, and put the same defensive measures on his nose and ears.

"Okay, system, this time you settle the bill again."

After finishing his work, Ye Ren wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, looked at his template in the conscious space with satisfaction, and said to the system in his heart.

"The settlement is complete. Master, you adjusted part of the appearance of the genetic structure of the exoskeleton, and added part of the structure of the body muscles. The degree of modification is moderate, and the performance evaluation is excellent. A total of 20000 evolution points were spent, which is close to all the evolution points you have. Are you sure?" The electronic voice of the system sounded in Ye Ren's mind.

"Come out of the system, I promise not to kill you..."
