62 Mental Coding
Lines of text quickly flashed in front of Li Chengqian's eyes.
[You have consumed 100,000 experience value points. Software Engineer profession upgraded to level 1 (0/200,000).]
[You have obtained a Software Engineer skill: Mental Coding (Novice 0/100,000).]
[Mental Coding (Novice 0/100,000): Consumes 10 Stamina Points and enhances the activation of brain waves for 1 minute. In this state, brain waves can be automatically encoded into a signal that can be recognized by the computer. Information can be entered into the computer with your mind.]
(Note: 1. The body will experience slight discomfort during use. 2. Using the brainwave receiver can greatly increase the usage time of the Skill and greatly increase the transmission efficiency.)
"This is the skill!" Before obtaining the Mental Coding Skill, Li Chengqian could rely on the Focus and Logical Thinking skills to become a top programmer in the world.
After becoming a Software Engineer, he could single handedly support a software empire using the Mental Coding Skill.
It was just like when he was developing the Divine Dragon Optimization app. He had in fact all the codes in his head, but he could only manually input the codes into the computer one key at a time. The development speed was limited by his typing speed.
His hand speed limited his development speed.
Now, this constraint no longer existed because of the appearance of the Mental Coding skill.
The only thing that limited his development speed was his brain speed!
The faster he thought, the faster he inputted.
"The novice level of Mental Coding only lasted for a short time."
"Upgrade!"
[You have consumed 100,000 experience value points. Your Mental Coding skill has been upgraded to competent (0/200,000).]
After the Mental Coding skill was upgraded, the other descriptions did not change. However, the duration increased from one minute to five minutes.
"It's a pity that the experience value points I accumulated a while ago are almost used up." During this period of time, he had been developing software intensively and had earned a large amount of experience value points.
When he completed the development of the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software, he received 50,000 experience value points as a reward. When he completed the development of the Divine Dragon Optimization app, he received 200,000 experience value points.
He had accumulated 320,000 experience value points even before he became a software Engineer.
He had consumed a total of 250,000 experience value points just now.
He only had about 70,000 experience value points left now. This wasn't enough for upgrading the Software Engineer profession or the Mental Coding skill.
"Let me try the effect of the skill." Li Chengqian closed his personal interface, turned on his computer, and opened the unfinished core program document of the Divine Dragon Operating System.
[Divine Dragon Operating System core completion rate: 5%.]
After looking at the completion rate of the Operating System, Li Chengqian began to activate his Skill.
"Focus!"
"Rational Thinking!"
Li Chengqian had not used these two skills today. He had been waiting for this moment.
"Mental coding!"
After the Mental Coding skill was activated, his brain waves were instantly strengthened and activated. His entire body began to twitch slightly, as if he had epilepsy. It was difficult for him to adapt.
At the same time, he felt a passageway that connected his hand to the laptop in front of him.
Without needing anyone to teach him, he understood how to transmit the information in his brain to the computer.
He began to try to transmit the code in his mind directly to the computer in front of him through the channel.
Immediately, the indiscernible characters on the computer screen jumped rapidly.
Countless lines of code scrolled up. In just a second, there were a total of 300 lines of code in the program document. The efficiency was a thousand times that of Li Chengqian's manual input!
If he could maintain this speed, he would only need an hour to complete the one million lines of code that form the core of the entire Divine Dragon Operating System.
However, the speed of output was limited by the brain's thinking speed.
In other words, it was a brain speed limitation.
In the past, Li Chengqian felt that with the enhancement of the Focus and Rational Thinking skills, there was no limit to his thinking speed.
Now that he was using the Mental Coding skill, he realized that even with the enhancement of the two skills, his thinking speed was limited.
He could reach a speed of 300 lines per second, or 18,000 lines per minute if he could input without thinking.
If he input as he thinks, he could only reach an average speed of 50 lines of code per second.
Only 3,000 lines of code can be entered in a minute.
This was the first time Li Chengqian had experienced such a carefree input speed. He couldn't stop at all. Although his body kept twitching slightly, he used the Mental Coding skill three times and worked frantically for a total of 15 minutes. He only stopped when he ran out of stamina.
[Divine Dragon Operating System core completion rate: 5%.]
With the enhancement of the Mental Coding skill, a week's work was done in 15 minutes.
"Awesome! As long as one's stamina can keep up, the core of the operating system can be completed within a day." Even Li Chengqian himself was shocked by this efficiency.
Li Chengqian paused the effect of the Focus and Rational Thinking skills.
After the state of extreme rationality had subsided, the senses of his mind and body came back.
"Ouch… It hurts…" The soreness in his body made him gasp.
"Is this what is meant by slight discomfort? Who are you kidding!" At this moment, Li Chengqian's skill notification came on. Note 1: The body will experience slight discomfort during use.
Right on the heels of that, he felt extremely weak and hungry. His face was pale and his entire body was trembling. He was dizzy, his body was weak, and he could barely stand up.
He was only left with 0.4 stamina after using the Mental Coding skill three times in a row.
After a full five minutes, his Stamina Stats slowly recovered to 1 point. Only then did he have a little strength.
He got up feebly, picked up ten medicinal wolfberries, and chewed them.
One medicinal wolfberry could recover 1 point of stamina.
As soon as he ate it, a warm feeling came from his stomach. He gradually regained color on his pale face.
"I won't do such a stupid thing again in the future. I almost died." Li Chengqian's eyes were filled with lingering fear. "Even if I want to work hard, I have to prepare enough restoration portions in advance."
"When I have a certain level of strength, I'll restart the Farmer profession and think of a way to get a piece of land to become a farm owner." In the game in his previous life, the Farmer profession and the advanced class of the Farmer profession were extremely important in the Master of All Professions game.
However, the Farmer profession was too surreal in reality.
There could be big trouble if he wasn't careful.
Therefore, Li Chengqian didn't dare to use it flippantly.
"I have to get the brainwave receiver as soon as possible. With the brainwave receiver, not only will the duration of the skill increase, but the aftereffects of the Mental Coding skill will also disappear."
Why was his body twitching when he used the Mental Coding skill? The reason was actually very simple. It was because brain waves were running amok in his body.
Li Chengqian didn't know if brainwave receivers existed in reality.
If such a thing existed, he would buy it directly. If such a thing didn't exist, he would have to research it himself at all costs.
"One more thing. Before I get my hands on a brainwave receiver, I definitely can't use the Mental Coding skill outside." Li Chengqian's body would twitch like an epileptic when he was using the skill. If anyone saw it, they would definitely think he was sick.
"I'll rest first. I still have to catch the high-speed rail tomorrow. Hiss… This sequelae is really f*cking long-lasting. It's too weirdly satisfying."
