Chapter 5 Autonomous Training

There are two sets of equipment that Hena borrowed from school.

They are two training wooden sticks about 1.5 meters in length, and two silver-white metal storage boxes.

The two wooden training sticks, like the cane in Jiatu's hand, were both made of cheap fast-growing wood.

The value of one training stick is about fifteen dry food sticks.

Although it is not a price that ordinary shelter families cannot afford, it is not cheap either.

As for those two silver-white metal storage boxes, Jiatu had no idea.

Just by looking at it with the naked eye, he could realize that this was "future technology" that far exceeded his previous life.

With a hint of awe for the civilized world before the wasteland, Jiatu opened the small silver box in front of him that was as big as a shoe box.

What was displayed in front of him was a "half-covered gas mask" consisting of three pieces of dark equipment.

In other words, it "looks like" something like that.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the borrowed equipment?"

The girl noticed Jia Tu's dullness and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"No...nothing, I just have some emotions..."

Jia Tu shook his head and took out this "half-covered gas mask" that was already a bit old and painted with cute graffiti in pink and yellow paint, and put it on his face, covering his mouth and nose.

"Gas mask" is a joke, of course.

After living in the shelter for three years, Jato has fully realized that the things in front of him are not "gas masks" at all——

Rather, it is a complete set of "atomized computing power inhalation system" consisting of a "half-covered closed mask", a "high-strength carbon breathing tube" and a "nano micro-mechanical control host".

Collectively known as, [Exterior Hacking Brain].

To explain it in a more humane way, it is the "mobile phone" or "laptop" of humans in the wasteland.

"Although in my time, no one could have imagined that future 'mobile phones' would evolve to this extent..."

Jiato was thinking.

At the same time, he took out the "Fresh Air Filter"-like Hacker Host from the storage box, tied it behind his waist, and then fixed the "Carbon Breathing Tube" like an air guide through an air-tight buckle.

between the mask and the host computer.

Then when everything was ready, he pressed the start switch of the host.

With a slight buzzing sound, the cooling fans on both sides of the chassis started to rotate in an unpretentious manner.

With the slight vibration of the cooling fan, a trace of warm air with a metallic smell came from the closed mask on Jiatu's face.

The warm air continued to flow into his trachea and lungs, and attached to his airway mucous membrane, creating a strange, numbing pain similar to that stimulated by peppercorns.

As time went by, these numb pains continued to spread deeper into his body. Just when Jiatu felt that his tongue began to swell to the point that he could not breathe, some tiny golden spots suddenly appeared in front of his eyes -

—

Then, a sore and numb electric current started from the top of his head and ran through his whole body, causing him to moan slightly.

It was a strange feeling like the world was spinning, as if the world was being destroyed.

He felt that his body was thrown high into the air, and then fell to the ground after drawing countless spirals. As his sense of balance was restored first, countless kaleidoscope-like iridescent flashes suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and his ears

There was also an extremely slight buzzing sound coming from inside that could block out all other sounds——

[Welcome to "Lingjing OS", version number 11.276.63.CBT (stable version)]

[This version is a special version for children’s education at Cheorwon Refuge in Jincheng City]

[Do not use this device for other purposes]

[All legal risks caused by illegal use shall be borne by myself]

[System pre-boot completed, user vital signs being detected——]

[Confirm user login name "JaTu"]

【Welcome to the world of Lingjing, Mr. Jiatu.】

[Your vital signs today are "sub-healthy", heart rate is 69, blood pressure is 70/105, and physical fitness coefficient is 16.3, which is judged to be "moderate malnutrition".]

[Please follow the plan provided by the system, eat and exercise. You can check the details after the guidance. 】

[The remaining power of this system is 91.4%, the estimated usage time is 45 minutes, and the combat usage time is 15 minutes. Please log out of this system before the power is exhausted to avoid atomized micro-devices staying in the body for a long time and causing unpredictable harm.]

【00:45:30:17——】

Jiatu looked at the red countdown in the upper right corner of his field of vision that was continuously regressing, and took a deep breath.

The world in front of him was emitting a faint red light due to the nano-machines adsorbed on the retina.

And in this world that exudes a faint red light, some pale yellow boxes are constantly flashing.

These light yellow boxes swept across his field of vision quickly and steadily, marking the names of obstacles and creatures.

Finally, all these words disappeared, gathered into one place, and locked onto Hena not far away from Jiatu.

At the same time, a voice from the heart sounded in Jiatu’s mind——

[Threat object found, Lingjing system users, matching threat level 0.70, higher than local users, please treat it with caution and solemnity. 】

[The predicted winning rate is 34%. This battle is a training battle. Please do not give up easily and actively participate in the battle.]

.

As the voice fell, the vision in front of Jiatu became silent again.

The girl not far away from Jiatu has also completed all preparations.

She wore a half-closed mask of the same style on her face, and her pupils scattered a little light red.

Other than that, there are almost no changes.

Both of them were breathing a little heavier, but the numbness in their throats that felt like an electric shock when the system started has disappeared.

Even the edema in the throat subsided quickly.

But Jiato knew very well that this was not because the numbness had disappeared——

On the contrary, with the activation of the Lingjing system, every breath he took triggered a large number of atomized robot exchanges in the lung cavity.

These tiny haze-like machines entered his body through the capillaries in his lungs and attached to his blood vessels and nervous system, assisting him in controlling his body and shielding him from "stress" and "physiology"

reaction.

At this moment, Jiatu's control over his body can be said to have reached the level of a top martial artist or a national-level athlete. A feeling of "God's help" keeps rising in his heart——

Although he knew very well that this was just an illusion caused by the micro-machines in his body controlling the glands to secrete excessive oxytocin.

Maybe it's not just an "illusion"?

"Then, let me attack and win eight out of fifteen rounds, okay?"

Seeing that Jiatu had also completed preparations, Hena lowered her body and assumed a fighting posture.

Jiatu held the training stick in his hand and nodded.

There is no reminder.

Almost as soon as Jia Tu nodded, the girl started.

She leaned down, pushed her feet forward, and appeared in front of Jiatu across a distance of four to five meters as if flying close to the ground.

Facing the boy who was still standing there blankly, the girl raised the stick in her hand without hesitation.

Jiatu could even see her beautiful eyes that glowed crimson as she stared at him in the almost stagnant air.

The next second——

[Spiritual competition system, combat mode activated]

Jiatu's body almost moved on its own.

To be precise, he did realize that he should "back off."

But almost the moment he had this idea, his body had already started to move. He poked the ground hard with the crutch of his left hand, and kicked the ground with his right foot at the same time. His body fell backwards involuntarily, and Hena's sudden attack

It almost rubbed his scalp and fell to the ground.

But based on past combat experience, Jato knew that the girl’s attack was not over yet——

It would be better to say that it has just begun.

Hena swung the long stick down sharply in the "furious slashing" manner, but almost the moment the swing failed, she had already taken a step towards Jiatu's right foot, and at the same time, she held the stick in her left hand and swung it backwards, straight

The long stick that was slashing towards the ground immediately shook off its force and was swept away with the splitting force, swinging towards Jiatu's right waist.

"It's really my style of fighting..."
