I am the God of Technology

Dante's eyes snapped open as he took a deep breath and jerked upwards. He noticed that his body was extremely sticky and sweaty, and he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.

He tried to wipe his eyes, but his face and hands were covered with… stuff. When he focused on what it was, he almost screamed.

Blood!

There was so much blood!

God, all the sticky stuff on him was mostly dried blood and some that was still partially liquid. Even worse, he felt a warmness and extreme discomfort around his groin, and he looked down to see a huge patch of yellow.

Not only that, there were some slight hints of brown.

Dante closed his eyes and took deep breaths, which was naturally a mistake given the circumstances. However, he couldn't afford to care as he forcibly calmed himself down and refused the urge to snap his own neck.

Waking up in filth was not something anyone could tolerate, especially not in this regard. Dante was about to get up and clean himself when a huge torrent of water splashed over him, soaking him deeply.

"Wakey wakey. You finally woke up after so long, and look at the mess you've made!" A familiar teasing voice sounded from the side.

Dante looked at his naked body and then slowly turned to glare at Beatrice who was smirking while holding a large basin of water with a single hand. Before he could protest, she flicked her hand slightly and another batch of water was thrown at him.

More than anger, Dante wanted to ask how she had the strength to lift a basin full of water that even two people side by side would struggle to carry, but then realized it was probably a stupid question.

Also, the two tubs of water significantly cleared the filth around Dante, which ironically made him feel better. He rolled to the side and stood up, glancing at Beatrice coldly before entering the bathroom.

On his way, she smacked his ass and squeezed, causing Dante's face to change. However, he knew he was no match for a woman with genetics like hers - if his guess was right - so he continued in and went to the jacuzzi this time.

He gingerly entered and allowed his AI chip to interact with the jacuzzi's AI, and the deep cleansing began. Dante spent 3 hours having himself cleaned, scrubbed, soaped, washed, and even almost drowned himself 3 times since he didn't let any part of his body go.

When he came out, he felt refreshed in more ways than one. Dante finally noticed that his body felt lighter and his mind felt sharper. His thoughts moved fast and were more organized rather than random blurs that appeared and disappeared like lightning.

When he exited the bath, he was curious about what had changed about him specifically then noticed that the room was spotlessly clean. The bed especially looked brand new, and there was Beatrice boredly scrolling through her holographic screen by the side.

When she saw him come out, her eyes lit up slightly. "Yes, yes, now that's much better! It's not perfect, but it's nowhere near as bad as before!"

Dante paused and furrowed his brow. "You mean, I look better? But you said the injection was to patch up my DNA in terms of missing protections against viruses and stuff. I don't remember you saying it would enhance my looks or abilities."

Dante thought that such a thing would come in a later injection or through some other method.

ραΠdαsΝοvel Beatrice shrugged. "Hey, the best defense is a good offense. We raise your body's power and increase your genetics and you'd naturally not be troubled by such viruses or bacteria, right?"

Dante was speechless.

Beatrice pointed a finger to the now spotless bed. "You didn't think all that… residue… was from just filling up the holes in your DNA?"

Yeah, Dante had wondered about that. Now it made sense, increasing his body values sharply in one sitting would have drastic effects and would require a deep-set modification.

It was not like the natural residents of this universe who had slowly accumulated their current high indexes through genetic evolution over generations. Beatrice just helped Dante skip centuries of evolution in a few hours.

"Right, how long was I out?" Dante inquired as he walked to the closet nearby.

"About 8 hours. Enough time that I've already sent your physical details down to the bureau and they've long sorted out your identity and registration." Beatrice replied with a yawn.

Dante's eyes lit up. "So I can log into the Etranet now?"

Beatrice glanced at him strangely. "You just got an elite pure human citizen ID issued by earth's bureau itself and the first thing you think of is the Etranet? Tsk! Youth of today, always on their goddamn AI chips!"

Dante ignored her and checked his AI chip.

[Greetings, Dante. While you were out, I handled the genetic modification for you and monitored your body in depth. I have screened your current genetics and have compiled them into your SDI. Please check it.]

Dante followed his AI chip's request and opened his Standard Display Index.

｢User: Dante

Age: 21 (Converted to Earth years)

Race: Pure Human (99.9% genetic perfection)

Strength Index: 2.3

Agility Index: 2.2

Dexterity Index: 2.3

Intelligence Index: 2.5

Constitution Index: 2.1

Vitality Index: 2.1

Bionic Level: 0

Psionic level: 0

AI Chip level: 0.1

Superpowers: Quantum Entanglement.｣

Dante was surprised. Each of his indexes had gone up by exactly two points, making him twice as potent in each field as the average pure human in this universe.

A burning curiosity lit up in his chest and he couldn't help but want to test his prowess. As such, he made and few punching and kicking motions, which shocked him because their potency had increased by leaps and bounds.

The current him was no different from a skilled martial artist in a CGI movie, able to perform movements at speeds that did not seem logical.

"Are you done beating up your imaginary friend for not remembering your birthday?" Beatrice mocked from the side while stifling a giggle.

However, Dante was too pleased to be angry. Rather than that, for the first time since he met her, he actually smiled at her, causing Beatrice to be stunned.

"Thank you, Beatrice. I'm very grateful for the upgrade." Dante thanked her sincerely.

Especially since it was not part of the contract. After all, the bureau did not know about Dante's poor SDI as that would raise questions, so Beatrice had only sent his current SDI after upgrading.

His AI chip already told him this.

Beatrice was silent for a while and then sighed. "Whatever, you're welcome. Let's get planet-side and check out your villa among other things. We need to report to the Eternal Academy as soon as possible, a day wasted is one more point of danger to your life when you enter the Zero Gate."

Dante nodded and selected an attire from the wardrobe. As you could imagine, the clothes were not physically accessible, rather a long selection was sent to the AI chip from which he could choose.

Dante finally got to enjoy using the AI chip thanks to his increased intelligence index, as scrolling through the hundreds of lists was easy for him to process.

Previously when he had been at the spaceport of Planet Etonia and had passed by the duty-free shops, he had taken one look at the lists and felt like his brain was about to explode.

Eventually, he selected something similar to what Beatrice wore minus her purple color. A skintight inner black shirt inside a black pilot's jacket, as well as black leather pants along with fitting black boots.

When he turned around, he noticed that Beatrice was looking him up and down with a smile.

"Good taste, now I won't be embarrassed walking around with you."

Dante rolled his eyes and followed Beatrice out of the vice-captain's cabin. They both entered the teleporter outside his room and appeared in the shuttle, as it launched from the battleship and down into the bay.

Since they used teleportation, there was no need for disinfection when leaving the ship, unlike when entering. Besides, it was not allowed to teleport into the battleship because what if an enemy used it to sneak in?

As for teleporting out, there was no problem with that.

The shuttle landed in a parking spot and the duo disembarked from it calmly. Dante saw that the spaceport was far smaller than the one on Planet Etonia, but it was far more developed and busier.

Even more frightening was the customs queue to enter the elevator leading to the arrival area. Even with AI and robots handling it, the line was long like a winding snake.

While Dante was bracing himself for a long wait, Beatrice pulled him to a rather quiet customs post that had only about 3 people there. Each of them was a pure human like them, and they had arrogant and lofty expressions on their faces.
