[We will inform you of the list of currently available customized services.]
* Reinforcement (Stage 1)
This is a service that increases the user’s personal capabilities. There may be slight differences as each user’s individual environment is taken into consideration.
Passive
Disease-Free: The user is not susceptible to infection or disease caused by any internal factors or external factors such as physical or biochemical factors.
Consumption Skill
It is a consumable service that can be used continuously by consuming points.
Reverse Aging (50pt): Reverses the user’s physical age.
Life (50pt): Gives the user an additional life.
Supply (10pt): Provides a long-term supply of substances needed by the user’s body.
Sustained Skill
This is a service that continues to be maintained once purchased.
Rigid Body (50pt): Increases the durability of the user’s body. Allows most physical attacks to be nullified.
Superhuman (50pt): Enhances the strength of the user’s body. Possesses greater strength than any entity on Earth.
Flight (50pt): Grants the user the ability to fly freely at will.
“Wait, wait a minute.”
[Yes, go ahead.]
“That’s all… So these are the things I can do, right?”
[Of course.]
“How far can you go in being disease-free? Does it include things like cancer?”
[Yes, this includes all microscopic phenomena that can cause harm to the user’s body.]
“And that’s the basic provision?”
The long-cherished wish of all mankind is to just get rid of Sukidashi?
[Yes.]
“Then what is the difference between reversing aging and longevity? Shouldn’t the two be considered similar concepts? I don’t see the difference.”
[Of course, it can be classified as the same service, but we inform you that it is classified differently depending on the user customization. If you use the life extension service, the speed of aging itself may slow down, but aged skin, wrinkles, and sagging skin will not disappear immediately. On the other hand, in the case of the aging reversal service, we inform you that it is not a service that has a transformation process at the genetic level like life extension. You can understand aging reversal as a service that provides changes in the external part.]
I thought you explained it in an easy-to-understand way, but I still don’t understand.
“So you’re saying that it’s not a tactic to split them up and make people spend more points when they can both be treated together?”
[…no.]
Well, this isn’t something I need right now, so I’ll pass.
Next is nutrition?
At first glance, it looks like it’s a food replacement.
“I get this, but do I need to drink water too?”
[Yes, it also includes suppression of appetite itself, and all the substances necessary to sustain the body, such as oxygen through breathing, are supplied.]
Let’s think about it carefully.
But isn’t this a loss…?
There’s no need to give up eating if you don’t get sick, right?
Why give it up?
I guess it might be needed in some emergency situations… .
This too is a pass.
Next up… rigid body, superhuman, flying?
This is a collection of things that would appear in a superhero movie.
Let’s see… a rigid body has durability and a superhuman has strength?
“I don’t really understand the difference between a strong body and a superhuman. I don’t really understand, but isn’t it true that as your physical strength increases, your endurance also increases?”
[Generally, you may think that the part about strengthening your strength is superhuman, but the difference in degree is clearly different. A rigid body is a strengthening that can assist a superhuman. Even if you hit a rock with the strength to break the rock, your hand will not get hurt. It will be easy to understand if you think of it as the same principle. Therefore, you should recognize that a rigid body is an essential skill in the strengthening series.]
“Hmm… I feel like I know something, but I don’t.”
Anyway, since it is an essential skill, you have to get this first to upgrade the strengthening skill.
“Then how much of the physical attack nullification on the rigid body can be blocked?”
[Unfortunately, that part is determined based on the individual’s physical ability rather than the level of civilization, so at best it is limited to blocking rifle bullets.]
Is that just a rifle bullet?
[The first stage of the continuity service of the reinforcement part is a service with excellent cost-effectiveness that most users use. Based on the service currently provided to you, using a strong body and a superhuman together is the best choice. If it is a civilization at the level of the Middle Ages, it is a force that can easily deal with a single legion.]
That’s huge, isn’t it?
Except that this isn’t the Middle Ages.
Hmm… that’s cool, but realistically, what can you do with it?
Athlete? Hero?
That’s good. They say he’s the strongest in humanity, no, on Earth, so he’ll probably make a lot of money if he’s active with that physique.
But is it the best thing to do with this kind of power?
A power like this is a power that can put the world at your feet.
Didn’t you say that was one of the services provided in the first place?
If we were dealing with the Middle Ages, as Sarah said, then maybe it would be different. This is modern civilization.
They can never accept me exercising superhuman strength.
Not in the physical sense, but in the mental sense.
If I were to face it as an individual, would I not know? Would a collective intelligence or a nation recognize me as an absolute being or a god?
I don’t know what’s in the second stage of strengthening, but since the first stage is like this, the second stage will be even stronger.
Then, it might be possible to subdue them by force.
But that’s just a villain, right?
Then on the contrary, a hero? Like Superman? That’s not very good either.
I don’t want to give people bad feelings, but I don’t have the confidence to live too kindly either.
I have a feeling that if you use this reinforcement, you will end up in an extreme situation like either all or nothing from the start.
So, if you have to buy this, what is the minimum safety requirement?
In that respect, it’s tempting, but if you buy both the strong body and the superhuman, there’s no immediate point.
I think safety will be ensured even if I just buy a rigid body… Should I just buy a rigid body?
[User. If your goal is safety, you don’t have to buy it. The user’s basic safety is sufficiently guaranteed if you are currently within the influence of this base.]
“Oh, really? That’s good. But how are you going to keep us safe?”
[You can deploy a gravitational field to control interference in all physical phenomena within the area.]
What the heck is this?
“Is it something like telekinesis?”
[That’s right. However, when a gravitational field is deployed, all energy efficiency within the area decreases by about 33%. This affects not only living things, cars, and the natural world, but also all modern civilizations, so it is possible that this will be detected due to the nature of modern civilization.]
That’s a bit of a problem.
But aren’t you saying that in an emergency, something can be done?
So it’s okay when the gravitational field or something is off?
That’s enough.
It will be more than enough, it will overflow.
Isn’t it like in the movies where it stops bullets and stuff?
Of course, it’s not me who does it.
[If you wish, there is a telekinetic enhancement prepared that you can use directly when the enhancement level increases.]
“No, I think I’ll buy some consumables for the reinforcement part later, but I’m not sure about the others yet. For now, just keep going.”
[All right.]
* Military (Stage 1)
Military is an effective means of controlling civilization. Few civilizations are advanced enough to afford these solely as a service for military domination.
-Light Infantry (100pt)
At your civilization level, there is no way to subdue them other than with nuclear weapons. You can subdue a division of modern civilization’s forces with just one person.
-Light tank (100pt)
This sleek tank, measuring about 100 meters in size, has the power to easily destroy a modern city.
-Outpost (100pt)
This spaceship, which can freely move between planetary orbits, is a multi-purpose ship with limited combat power but the mobility to freely travel between the ground and space, and a transport function that can carry a large number of light infantry and light tanks.
hmm….
As I look at this, I think that perhaps, for humanity, it might be something to be thankful for that I got Sarah.
Because if some crazy guy tries to take over the world with this, people will believe that Doomsday has arrived that day.
The rough shape of each item was projected as an image, but they all looked like something that had just come out of hell?
For example, in the case of the light infantry, they are black, slimy creatures with tentacles extending out in all directions.
Of course, I’m not a strict ethicist who says, “Never kill people!” but I think this is a bit off.
They look like demons from hell, so anyone who sees them can’t help but fight.
Even if I don’t attack in the first place, if something like this suddenly pops up and demands my control, it’s quite possible.
It seems like a lot of people are going to die.
Probably hundreds of millions of people will die.
No matter how much you rule over civilization, it’s still a bit like that.
There are some that look relatively expensive….
Well then, let’s skip the military section and look at the next one.
