Becoming a master started with manually rubbing the control panel.

Chapter 022 Muscle Synergy Testing

Lin Bei put away his phone and returned to his room.

He took the star-patterned stone out of his pocket and examined it closely in his palm.

The stone is the size of a pigeon egg and has a warm, smooth feel.

Under the lamplight, it gleams with a soft silver luster, and the patterns on its surface resemble a natural star map, looking both magnificent and mysterious...

He closed his eyes, and a wisp of tangible spiritual energy slowly emerged from between his eyebrows.

hum-

The star-patterned stone trembled slightly, and the patterns on its surface seemed to come alive.

at the same time.

When his mental energy touched the surface of the star-patterned stone, he immediately felt an invisible resistance.

Lin Bei did not force his way in, but instead used his mental energy to repeatedly probe along the surface of the star-patterned stone, trying to sense its internal structure.

A few minutes later.

He opened his eyes, lost in thought.

Although star-patterned stones can contain spiritual energy, their internal structure is intricate and complex. The slightest carelessness can damage the overall structure and cause the entire gemstone to be destroyed.

"It really is a skill; no wonder the rich young woman couldn't handle it..."

Lin Bei carefully put away the star-patterned stone, turned on his computer, and asked the AI ​​for detailed information about the star-patterned stone.

A short while later.

AI helped him compile a systematic and comprehensive set of information, including the origin, uses, value, and processing methods of star-patterned stones.

Lin Bei focused his attention on the processing of the star-patterned stone.

Star-patterned stone can be used as a raw material to process various mental items. For example, a mental amulet can release a mental barrier at crucial moments to resist mental attacks.

To process star-patterned stones, one must master a special technique called "spiritual micro-carving".

Lin Bei continued to question the AI.

Soon, the AI ​​helped him compile a professional document on mental micro-sculpting.

He read the document carefully.

The so-called "spiritual micro-carving" is an advanced technique that uses mental energy as a carving tool to finely process special items such as star-patterned stones...

"That's interesting."

A hint of interest appeared in Lin Bei's eyes.

What interests him is not the art of mental micro-sculpting itself.

After all, compared to one's own mental encoding, the depth and difficulty of mental micro-sculpting are simply insignificant.

What truly attracted him was—

After learning mental micro-sculpting, you will have the opportunity to become a mental micro-sculptor.

According to information provided by AI, micro-sculptors are in high demand and short supply in the job market, making them a rare talent.

Even a junior mental sculptor can earn a million yuan a year, or even more.

However, the threshold for becoming a spiritual micro-sculptor is extremely high.

The two biggest hurdles are talent and cost.

Mastering mental micro-sculpting requires extremely high mental talent, especially in the control of mental power, where there can be no mistakes whatsoever.

Secondly, there's the cost.

To get started with mind micro-sculpting, it usually takes three years and an extremely high tuition fee.

In the past, Lin Bei would not have considered this possibility.

After all, the tuition fees, which amount to hundreds of thousands, were simply beyond his means.

But now...

"Since Shangguan Ling is willing to teach me for free, I might as well take this opportunity to learn the art of mental micro-sculpting."

Lin Bei was making plans in his mind.

Even if you don't rely on this for a living in the future, it's never a bad thing to have an extra skill to rely on.

After making up my mind.

He turned off his computer and started working on his own business.

He worked until 1 a.m. before finally completing the coding of the muscle coordination detection algorithm.

"Done!"

Lin Bei breathed a long sigh of relief.

[Muscle synergy detection algorithm module...compilation complete]

[Submodule loading...]

[Loading successful. New feature added to the Body Fitness module: Muscle Coordination Detection...]

"Activate muscle synergy detection!"

Lin Bei's mental network responded instantly with a thought.

[Muscle synergy detection activated...]

The next second, a highly complex data image appeared in his mind.

That was a real-time graph of his entire body's muscles, where the tension, degree of contraction, and timing of force exertion of each muscle were quantified and presented as a dynamic curve.

"Give it a try..."

Lin Bei stood up and casually threw a punch.

As he moved, the real-time status graph changed accordingly.

Muscle coordination rate: 21.7%

"Only this much?"

Lin Bei raised an eyebrow.

That punch was just a casual throw, so it's normal for the stats to be low.

He took a deep breath and threw a punch with all his might.

Snapped!

The air was torn apart with a crisp sound.

Muscle coordination rate: 43.8%

"really……"

Lin Bei smiled.

This data confirms his previous speculation.

A martial artist's physical strength is the result of the coordinated effort of multiple muscles.

As the saying goes, all efforts should be focused on one goal.

Only by reducing the internal friction between muscles and ensuring that each muscle works seamlessly together can you unleash the ultimate power.

So here's the question...

Lin Bei felt a headache coming on just thinking about the incredibly complex real-time status graph.

Unfortunately, my own [interface] is still a complete idiot.

Currently, only the detection function is available.

If it could be like AI, helping him analyze and evaluate, and providing solutions for improvement and optimization, that would be perfect.

"Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh."

Lin Bei shook his head.

To achieve intelligent control of the control panel is a long way off.

"Right now, we should honestly refer to the test data, identify our shortcomings, and then gradually optimize our force application techniques to improve muscle coordination..."

Lin Bei retrieved the test data from earlier and began analyzing it item by item.

It's okay if you don't watch it.

Upon inspection, many problems were immediately apparent.

For example, premature activation of the triceps brachii interrupts force transmission; conflicting activation sequences between the external oblique and latissimus dorsi muscles cause internal friction during force transmission...

"There are quite a few problems."

As Lin Bei analyzed the situation, he wrote down each of these questions.

Sharpening knives does not miss woodcutters.

He plans to figure out all the problems first, and then make systematic corrections.

More than an hour later.

He finally finished analyzing all the data and found more than a hundred problems, or rather, defects.

"If I could fix all these shortcomings, my muscle coordination rate when punching should be able to increase to 80%, or even higher..."

Lin Bei stretched his stiff neck and glanced at the time.

It's already 3 a.m.

"I have an appointment to meet Shangguan Ling during the day, and I also need to learn mental micro-sculpting, so I need to get enough rest."

Lin Bei went back to bed and lay down.

I closed my eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

Seven o'clock in the morning.

Lin Bei was woken up by the alarm clock and jumped out of bed.

Although he only slept for four hours, his mental state is better than ever before.

While meditation can give the brain a rest, it only does so on a physiological level.

During meditation, the mind remains alert, or even in a state of heightened awareness.

Only sleep can allow the brain and consciousness to rest simultaneously.

After breakfast.

Lin Bei received a message from Shangguan Ling: [9 AM, see you at the usual place]
