BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM

[ANALYSIS COMPLETE.]

[50 DNA POINTS ARE REQUIRED TO EXTRACT THE POWER.]

[1740 DNA POINTS DETECTED. EXTRACTION IS NOT ADVISED; THE HOST HAS INCOMPATIBLE DNA.]

[EXTRACTION ABORTED]

With that, Erik was done. He couldn\'t level up like last time, but at least he got a new brain crystal power. He only needed to find a place to acquire the power in peace, and he wouldn\'t certainly do so at Amber\'s house since he didn\'t really know what happened to him during the process.

With everything settled, the young man started walking back toward the breach. Still, he was several kilometers inside the forest, so it took him quite some time before reaching it.

After returning to the breach, the young man walked ten minutes toward Mister Fox\'s farm. As usual, he found him working on the fields, with a white tank top shirt and his mechanical arm on display.

"Aaaah, Erik!" he said once he saw the young man.

"Hello, Mister Fox..." Erik replied.

"How are you, young man?" He asked. The old man started behaving strangely around him. It was probably because he didn\'t want to lose his golden goose, so he tried to talk to Erik in the best possible way.

Mister Fox was making a huge fortune out of Erik\'s power. He bought new equipment, tools, and machinery for his farm. He even started renovating his house, barn, and stable into something more modern.

Erik was aware of all this, but he couldn\'t quit his job for several reasons. For starters, he didn\'t have to work a lot to earn a decent amount of money; he basically came here once a day for an hour at best and grew Mister Fox\'s crops.

Secondly, the old man was now paying him much more than any other job would pay a man without qualifications like him. Thirdly, he was going to join the military school soon, so he didn\'t have any reason to quit the job at the farm to search for another.

Fourth, he could say he was going to the farm while, in reality, he went to the breach. It was the perfect cover.

The young man didn\'t waste time and immediately went to the field to complete his job and started channeling mana as fast as possible.

The young man decided to then return to his home and extract the Cricul\'s brain crystal power and DNA and then go to Amber\'s house after he was done with his work.

Instantaneously, the heat wave characterizing his power washed over him, and suddenly, the air became moist and heavy.

The young man\'s sense of smell was assaulted by the scent of various plants and flowers as the power began to permeate the surrounding greenery.

His power started quickly to affect the surrounding plants making tree the trees grow larger, their trunks becoming thicker and wider and lastly, bearing fruit so big and so luscious as to look like they were fake.

Bushes and shrubs blossomed in the most beautiful colors imaginable, while flowers bloomed everywhere. Every single blade of grass stood upright, becoming darker in color, denser in texture, more robust in health, and stronger than ever before. All of this was thanks to Erik\'s higher mana capacity.

The scent caused by the booming flowers caused all the insects within the area to buzz uncontrollably.

Carrots as thick as Erik\'s palm sprouted everywhere, the crops multiplied at an exponential rate until every plant appeared as if it would explode out of its own soil, and the wheat fields blossomed into enormous golden expanses.

Around the farm, bushes began to bear berries, and the ground beneath the soil began to churn itself up, resulting in the birth of many mushrooms.

<My job is done...> Erik thought. He then went to Mister Fox, who was currently working inside the barn. Clearly, the young man asked for his payment, and once his employer gave him the money, he left the property and headed to the train station.

If it hadn\'t been for the tournament, this would have been just another day for Erik. Since he got the system, everything became much more peaceful, and he cherished these moments of peace.

Erik later arrived at the train station, and after jumping inside a train carriage, he headed to his house where he could use his power in peace.

The young man thought about what to do in the following days, he still had to buy new furniture for his now wrecked house, and he didn\'t know if he had enough. Maybe, the next day he would ask Mister Fox for more money. He at least owed him that much.

After a short trip, Erik finally arrived back home, where the scenery of his destroyed furniture greeted him.

Erik sighed; he had no other place to extract the brain crystal power and the DNA, so he had to come here. The young man quickly went to work and asked the system how much time was required to absorb the powers.

[ANSWER: THREE HOURS ARE REQUIRED TO ABSORB THE CRICUL\'S BRAIN CRYSTAL POWER. DO YOU WANT TO START THE PROCEDURE? 50 DNA POINTS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE EXTRACTION. IMPOSSIBLE TO START THE EXTRACTION; MISSING DNA DETECTED.]

"I know that..." Erik scoffed. "System, start the Cricul\'s DNA extraction."

[UNDERSTOOD. SYSTEM READY. STARTING CRICUL\'S DNA EXTRACTION, 50 DNA POINTS USED. COMMENCING EXTRACTION. HOST IS ADVISED TO LAY ON A BED.]

Erik didn\'t say anything. He was now used to the procedure, and there was nothing he could do to stop the pain he was bound to feel. As the agony began to wreak havoc in Erik\'s mind, he moaned and made some mumbled sounds. It was challenging for him to contain his shouts, but he knew he had to avoid attracting

Erik quickly lost control of his body, and the pain quickly spread to his body. The world around him started to whirl irregularly as his thoughts began to slow down. Then the usual tinnitus and gradual deterioration in his hearing ability started until Erik could hear nothing more but whispers.

The amount of pain he was experiencing intensified during the procedure. Still, after fifteen minutes had passed, the pain began progressively reducing until it ceased.

[PROCEDURE COMPLETE. HOST DNA IS NOW ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE CRICUL\'S BRAIN CRYSTAL POWER.] The system said.

Erik took a couple of minutes to relax. He just went through what he could only describe as a pain as intense as having his organs ripped out and his skin burned down. Once he was ready, he told the system to start the procedure.

"Start the brain crystal power extraction..."

[SYSTEM READY. STARTING THE CRICUL\'S BRAIN CRYSTAL POWER EXTRACTION. 50 DNA POINTS USED. THREE HOURS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE EXTRACTION. COMMENCING PROCEDURE. HOST IS ADVISED TO LAY ON A BED.]

He wouldn\'t return to Amber\'s house late since it was still early in the day, and he even had time to develop his neural links further.

A swirling vortex of mana began to take shape inside Erik\'s body. It began to go through his body quickly.

Erik imagined all this energy ravaging his body as a fiery tornado. It traversed the land that his body was and began to rip the land apart, flying everything kilometers away with its destructive force and uprooting trees.

Then a sudden heatwave began to permeate the young man\'s body. It started in Erik\'s abdominal region and made its way out to the rest of his body by passing through the pores of his skin and, lastly, leaving his body.

After a brief moment of disorientation, Erik started to lose consciousness. His eyes started to feel heavy, so he squeezed them shut and fell asleep soon later.
