Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 146 Chapter 144 End of Special Training
Ge Gongdao was the first to reach three flashes.Zhuang Xuteng was four days behind him, in the penultimate week of the three-month training.

This time they finally felt different: the reaction speed brought by the three flashes was significantly higher than that of the two flashes, and they could already see the movement of Master's attack and predict the trajectory of his attack.It's just that they still couldn't stop or escape, and the result of being beaten down in the end remained unchanged.

This result is normal.The super-computing martial arts only improved the reaction speed and adaptability, and could not replace the role of the shadow follower implant.Stranger Famine said that the three supercomputing martial arts are difficult to deal with, and they are essentially restrained by the enemy's implants.

In the field of extraordinary people, the speed of movement, attack power, and physical toughness all come from foreign objects such as shadow follower implants, which are all accumulated with resources, and the famine stranger is no exception.Dormancy and supercomputing can allow him to withstand greater side effects of the implant, allowing him to exert more power of the implant, and the end point is still the implant.

"Now your state is called: You know what to do." As he became more and more familiar with him, the Stranger of Famine also showed a playful side besides being cold. "Congratulations, even if Baden-Powell attacks you with all his strength, you will at least know about it before you die. If your brain has a chance to reminisce about this life, it is worth waiting for death for a lifetime."

Zhuang Xuteng was lying on the ground with bruises all over his body, unable to move a finger without bleeding a drop.He remained stubborn and continued to say, "Master, if you don't use implants, can you beat us?"

"I still have sword dance, but I guess you will tell me not to use long knives and other shadow slaves. But I know more martial arts, I still have five flashes, and I can still crush you. Let me think about it, you two Together, I will let you win with one hand in the state of five flashes."

Ge Gongdao snorted and said, "Nike, do you still want to beat him? You win first and I'll talk later! Master, don't listen to that kid, he's only been boxing for a few years? I know better than him. Your strength!"

"Actually, you don't know, and to be honest, I don't know either." The Famine Stranger sighed, showing a lonely expression for the first time. "I feel that I can still be stronger, but I am blocked by an invisible barrier, and I can't surpass it. I also worked hard and tried, but I failed. I must also lose because of my age Putting it here, the mental and physical state is declining, and if you force it to surpass it, you will die immediately."

The Famine Stranger pointed to Zhuang Xuteng, and said, "I have thought about it several times: If I can learn super-computing martial arts at your age, I will definitely be able to reach the limit of nine flashes."

"Jiu Shan... what state is that?" Zhuang Xuteng asked curiously.

"I no longer need to dodge bullets, I can make the ghost energy bullets fired hover in mid-air."

"Impossible!" The two apprentices who fell on the ground said in unison: "I don't have that ability!"

"How is it impossible?" Stranger Famine said: "The ghost energy bullet has been tracking you, and it will turn according to your movement trajectory, so as long as you are faster than it, you can use the changing trend of your body movements to trick it, Let it spin around in place. That thing is just a ball of shadow energy, without head and tail, just without front and back."

"At the time of the six flashes, I have been able to deceive all the perception abilities of nature, giving people a temporary illusion. For example, I can start and stop when others blink, making people think that I am moving out of thin air. If he keeps blinking, I can switch perfectly between two poses over and over again. Oh, let me show you."

Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao looked at each other, and then looked at Master together, blinking desperately.Sure enough, the position and posture of the Stranger Things changed every time they blinked, and it felt like there were two masters constantly jumping side to side, either to the left or to the right.

The two of them used three flashes, and only then did they see the movement of the master starting and stopping, and captured the afterimage of the middle process.

"The demonstration is over, I'm too tired." The Stranger of Famine waved his hand and stopped moving. A white mist rose from his body surface, which was the evaporated sweat.He took out a water bottle and took a few sips, and said, "If it was ten years in the morning, I wouldn't be so tired after using six flashes. So, you two should exercise while you are young, and don't regret it when you are old."

"Master, let's remember." Zhuang Xuteng said: "Actually, Master doesn't look old, right?"

Ge Gongdao definitely agreed, but Famine Stranger shook his head and said: "The dormant martial arts can maintain the skin and make me look younger—in fact, I transferred many signs of old age to the test mice. I know my situation very well. Retirement is the only correct choice."

"Then... Master, how strong were you when you were at your peak? How many years did you practice super-computing martial arts?"

The Stranger of Famine smiled and said: "Yes, at least it has aroused your ambition. I touched the edge of Nine Flashes, and that was after I practiced for 15 years. I have slackened in the middle, and I feel sorry for the time wasted by those slacks. I regret it and hope you don’t make the same mistake again.”

Zhuang Xuteng said: "We will train hard, but it is a pity that you are retiring now, Master. I still want to complete the commission with you!"

"Actually, we acted together, not long ago against Dexter. By the way, Nick, I never asked, how do you know where Dexter is?"

"Before that, I was ordered to protect the intelligence officer, so I have an extra pair of eyes that can detect the enemy's situation."

"It turns out that's the case, so it's not surprising. It's just that we are lucky to be able to act at the same time." The Famine Stranger said, "Okay, you guys should reply a little too? Hurry up and go to the pool. "

After leaving six flashes of surprise and nine flashes of longing in their hearts, this training is over.Famine Strangers wants to save Lucy some money. On the one hand, he follows the idea of ​​"Hi, I, Hello, everyone."

They no longer used expensive purple potions, but bought some cheap mealworms and put them directly on their bodies—carrying small animals is the normal state of dormant martial arts, and the two of them also need to adapt as soon as possible.In the last two weeks, Strangers of Famine mainly explained to them knowledge other than martial arts, including what kind of implants to use, which medicines to prepare and use, and how to manage their own income.

Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao also took this time to put forward their ideas for the future, including what kind of fighting methods to use.Ge Gongdao is still obsessed with boxing, and Famine Stranger suggested him to pay more attention to the underground black boxing, where some shadow slaves of the glove type and implants on the shoulder and back will be constantly updated to strengthen his power.

Regarding the grenade that Zhuang Xuteng never forgets, Famine Stranger believes that it can only be used as an auxiliary means, and it cannot be used in times of real hardship and anxiety—unless Zhuang Xuteng can throw shells with his hands.

"But you are not a soldier in a company war, but a mercenary. You always think about bombing bombs. What about entrusting missions? Besides, isn't it much better for you to put a pneumatic grenadier on the car than to throw cannonballs? Mercenaries are all for making money, and they have to buy their own weapons. Compared with shadow pistols, consumable grenades are too expensive. Can you use less or less. Wouldn’t it be good to save money for training and improve yourself?”

This is the warning that the master should give, but he doesn't know that Zhuang Xuteng has other ways of making money besides mercenaries.

In the end, implants determine the upper limit of combat ability in this world, and dormant martial arts and super-computing martial arts only give them the possibility to enter the top.Marked by three flashes, the two have begun to gradually break away from the category of "ordinary people", and their next threshold is four flashes.The Famine Stranger believes that the two apprentices will not encounter problems until six or seven months at the earliest, and then he will come to guide them again.

"But you guys are smart, and you can figure it out by yourself. I just figured it out on my own. You are smarter than me, so it must be fine." When the Famine Stranger said goodbye to them: "I sincerely hope that you will soon Catch up with me and surpass me. Whoever gets to Qishan first, I will hand over Sword Dance and Qingquan to him, and make him a senior brother."

Famine Stranger thinks that when the two of them reach Qishan, he must be older, and even sword dance and Qingquan can't stop the young man's Qishan.And at that time, he will definitely be able to see clearly the character of the two apprentices.

"Haha, it must be me!" Ge Gongdao and Zhuang Xuteng said together.

The Stranger of Famine nodded, patted the tops of the two people's heads, turned around and left with a long knife in hand, leaving the work of cleaning up the training base to them.Ge Gongdao and Zhuang Xuteng felt that this was a matter of course, even a compliment.They hosed down and wiped the floor with brushes to wipe out any biological information that might be left behind.

Compared with training, the work is too easy now.The tormented bodies of the two began to recover rapidly, mainly manifested by the beginning of hair growth.Master has reminded them that they are likely to encounter retaliatory hair growth, remember to grow long hair and beard during this period, and let the body experience the process of "natural hair loss".If the hair is cut and shaved frequently, the problem of rapid growth may last a lifetime.

Zhuang Xuteng has always felt that his beard is short, and he hopes to change this time.But Ge Gongdao didn't care about the hair, he only stared at the skin color, and prayed every day not to suddenly turn into weird black again.Both of their expectations came true.In two weeks, Zhuang Xuteng has already accumulated the amount of beard that is combed above and below the cheeks, which makes him very satisfied. He has already thought of using this look to scare his sister and let his father who said all day long that "no hair on the mouth can't do things well" Take a look with admiration.

Ge Gongdao did not turn black as he wished, and his hair volume and beard did not change, but he grew thick gray body hair, just like a gray wolf.These hairs are concentrated on the nape of the neck, chest, underbelly, back and outside of the limbs.Their lengths range from 1 to 2 centimeters, they are neatly arranged, and they feel tough and smooth to the touch, which is quite interesting to the touch.

It is conceivable that some people will make fun of Ge Gongdao about this in the future, for example, he looks like a big dog or something.Although Ge Gongdao is not as sensitive or violent, overly obvious physical characteristics are not conducive to mercenary missions, especially when disguised infiltration is required.

"Actually, my previous appearance is not suitable for sneaking in as a disguise. I'll leave that part to you!" Ge Gongdao didn't care about others touching his fur, he could do it himself! "Nike, I can clearly feel the flow of the wind now."

"I thought about it too. These hairs are equivalent to increasing your body surface area and tactile perception ability. It's not obvious yet, after five flashes you will definitely have an advantage over me." Zhuang Xuteng said: "But I'm smarter than you, maybe I will break through five flashes earlier than you, and even reach seven flashes earlier."

"Hehe, bah, I won't let you steal the title of senior brother!"

"This is a matter of fair competition. What do you mean by 'stealing'? I call it 'taking', taking it openly."

"For that, I can only wish you luck, hehe."
