I Don't Agree to the Terms

```

Ten days had flown by, and at 10:18 in the morning, Max arrived with an anxious heart to sign the contract for his transformation.

He was psychologically prepared, but the idea of replacing 80 percent of his body with mechanical parts was inevitably nerve-racking. Fortunately, the ten-minute transformation was done under general anesthesia, and when he woke up, he felt completely different from head to toe.

"Now, I don't need to eat to live," Max saw his power level through the neural system interface. Whether it be solar energy or kinetic energy, he could survive.

Even mud, rocks, lake water, and even air could be consumed and converted into energy.

All of this was thanks to the strong energy conversion furnace's effect, though the energy yielded varied in potency.

And now when he ate, there was no need to worry about excrement. Moreover, if one had exotic tastes, they could even sample all sorts of normally inedible or even highly toxic things. After the transformation, he was virtually immune to all poisons.

"The strength of my body is simply too powerful now, much better than before."

Looking at the dense data, although he didn't understand it, clicking on the data brought up metaphors and videos that helped him clearly realize just how strong he had become.

After going home, he was just about to embark on his routine "Life" money-making schemes to see if there had been any changes since upgrading to the premium Jile package.

"Eh? A major update?"

He discovered that "Life" had undergone a significant update.

There had been updates in the past, but this was a major one, clearly in response to the high-level Jile package.

"Completely new instance forms, each with a death count."

"Strange, why is there a death count?"

Max was puzzled. Logically, shouldn't death be limited? Why in "Life" did reaching the death count lead to compensation?

But he soon had an epiphany.

"It must be because the instances are difficult and test the players, so they introduced death compensation; otherwise, why would reaching a certain number of deaths count as clearing the instance?"

To Max, this quickly seemed like another welfare benefit.

After all, failing an instance still guaranteed a consolation prize, although it did require some grinding.

"Besides, there's also a Life Immersion Mode, but what does 'not yet activated' mean?"

"Wait, it requires a corresponding level Jile package, and even high-level isn't sufficient? This must be laying the groundwork for future new products."

Max had no particular aversion to "Life's" tie-ins with reality. After all, they were offering real money, life extensions, and power, and if you couldn't even support them, why should they treat you so generously?

Conscious businesses also need to survive. By just paying off that little loan each month, everyone could enjoy upper-class treatment, which was much better than any greedy boss.

"To be able to experience different lives, to witness various landscapes, from a beggar to an Emperor, from an ordinary person to a supreme overlord, is this the script mode?"

"And they have even adjusted the time ratio; this is truly a cross-era product."

Max was deeply impressed after reading more about the Life Immersion Mode, he couldn't help but marvel.

However, it wasn't without its downsides—perception of time seemed lengthy. Even though it was just a day, it felt like a full and genuine experience.

Fortunately, Jile Technology offered a memory blurring function, so there's no need to worry about memory overload causing issues.

More importantly, the rewards were incredibly rich, richer even than those from instances.

"I wonder when it will be activated," Max was very eager for this.

In the real world, he was just an ordinary person at the very bottom, but if he truly entered life immersion mode and coupled it with his intelligence brain system, he would definitely reach the pinnacle of life.

In the real world, everyone relied on their intelligence brain systems and the support of the large database, so the difficulty of crossing classes had become even greater.

When everyone had it, it was as if no one did, but the barrier remained absurdly high.

Nowadays, companies hiring demanded not just educational qualifications but also the possession of Jile Technology's advanced enhancement packages. After all, with such a package, one could completely compensate for deficiencies in education and experience.

Now, in theory, everyone could take on any job.

So the online debates about the uselessness of education fermented; why bother studying when you can simply upgrade to the full set of Jile enhancement packages and be capable of anything?

Max was indifferent to this since, for him, as long as he enjoyed himself, that was enough.

Now that he had a guaranteed lifespan of two thousand years, as long as he followed what Eternal Life Technology would offer next, he would never need to worry about death or issues like unemployment and lack of money.

What happened to others was not his concern.

He then entered "Life" and chose the instance mode to proceed.

After entering, he repeatedly died until he reached the guaranteed index and then exited.

"Tough, really tough, no wonder they offer guarantees." He too felt a bit of excitement, finally experiencing a challenge.

Previously, relying on his intelligence brain system, whether it was trading or completing quests, it was just a way to make money for him. But now, this instance was different, providing not just earnings but also an excitement he had long missed.

Actually, the difficulty could be increased further, but it would require turning off the assistance of the intelligence brain system and relying solely on oneself to complete it. Of course, the corresponding rewards would also increase.

But this was simply impossible because even with the aid of the intelligence brain system, they couldn't pass, let alone without it.

Max also found that when entering the instance mode, the sensory stimulation it gave him was far more comfortable than the euphoria mode, as if it was some kind of brand new enjoyment mode.

He then played two more rounds, and without exception, he exited each instance after reaching the death quota, yet the more he died, the more excited he became. That special feeling of pleasure sent his spirits soaring.

[Notice: Today's tasks have not yet been completed. Please do not become engrossed in the game.]

Max, planning to start another round, was blocked by his intelligence brain system, and he somewhat reluctantly initiated the auto-play mode.

Unfortunately, because he had entered "Life," he couldn't run the instances while handling everyday tasks, unlike how his body and mind could do a dual effort.

He was rational and knew that to survive, he first needed to farm gold and complete tasks; otherwise, going hungry from lack of money was trivial, but the fear was falling into debt.

One must realize that Jile Technology hadn't scrapped their bodily tissues; if one couldn't repay the loans, they would be forcefully recovered along with everything that came with the enhancement package, having one's own tissues transplanted back at a substantial fee.

Without the Jile enhancement package, he definitely couldn't survive in today's society; you couldn't even get a job as a security guard.

Security guards all had packages; without any modifications, how would you deal with all sorts of emergencies?

Moreover, Max also needed money to enjoy things like various delicacies and daily living supplies, etc. It's not like he planned to give up on eating, at least until his next set of modifications reached a hundred percent.

Twenty percent of his tissues were still human, and neglecting his well-being would only place an extra burden on his personal healthcare system.

At this point, Max no longer cared that a significant portion of his body had been replaced with mechanical constructs.

It didn't affect his enjoyment, and it could even prolong his life. Whether he was still human or not didn't matter anymore.

"If instance mode is this thrilling and crisp, then life immersion mode must be even more exhilarating!" At this moment, Max was even more eager for this yet-to-be-activated life immersion mode. He had immense confidence in Jile Technology and wasn't worried about an anticlimactic outcome.
