Rules-related weird stories: 4016

Wei Liang looked at Lin Yi as if seeking help: "Lao Lin..."

Lin Yi said seriously: "Liangzi, I feel that although this training is tiring, it gives me a sense of refreshment after it's over. Why don't you stop resisting and try to calm down and give it a try?"

Wei Liang curled his lips: "Lao Lin, you've already been tamed!"

"We're just here to experience it for seven days. Don't get too into it, okay?"

"As one of the few courses where I can interact with female sports students in these seven days, how can I waste my precious youth on muscular men?"

"Besides, if I had a boss like you to train me, I'd feel refreshed too..."

"Why don't we switch...?"

Wei Liang's voice grew softer and softer, obviously afraid that the boss would give him trouble, no, make things difficult for him.

After all, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and besides, he, the one wearing shoes, is really afraid of those who are barefoot...

"Hm?" The boss moved his bare foot slightly, stepping on the cloth bag beside his feet, his tone cold, "You're honest, but what does the sports hall rule say about inviting sports students to train?

《When sports students invite you to participate in gymnastics or swimming lessons, please try to agree to them. They are doing it for your own good.》

Of course, Wei Liang knew this, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, only silently drooping his head, looking like a yes-man, which made Li Huiyuan on the side laugh quietly.

Lin Yi couldn't bear it, so he helped Wei Liang out: "Boss... why don't we just forget it? Liangzi prefers swimming, and he doesn't seem to have any contamination..."

Wei Liang secretly gave a thumbs up, moved and whispered: "A friend in need is a friend indeed, Lao Lin, I'm so touched... I swear I will keep your secret of liking men to myself forever!"

Lin Yi: "..."

Boss: "..."

Li Huiyuan: "..."

Lin Yi's face was full of black lines: [Damn it, no... Liangzi, don't do this, even if you keep it a secret, you don't need to tell me specifically... Now everyone knows!]

Vaguely feeling the boss's strange gaze, Lin Yi had the feeling that he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

This rumor can't be easily dispelled!

[Alas, this Liangzi!]

[He's really more reliable and full of security when he's in danger, but the safer he is, the more unreliable he is, a self-destructing attribute that breaks through the sky!]

Lin Yi really wanted to cry...

The boss said lightly: "Does having contamination or not have anything to do with training?"

"Little Zhouzi, take him to train casually."

"Okay~ Boss!" Little Zhouzi looked at Wei Liang with a smile that wasn't a smile, "See you later, bro!"

Wei Liang put on an expression like the crying face emoji: "I don't want to either..."

Hey bro, where are you from? How come your accent feels like it mixes together from all over the world?

Watching Wei Liang being taken away like a wronged woman, and then looking at the burly Little Zhouzi, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh quietly.

[Wish you good luck, Liangzi...]

...

The little interlude ended, and the boss said: "When you were warming up just now, your body has already begun to accept some of the power of 'Ashes', which is also a kind of absorption to a certain extent."

Lin Yi understood that just like many machines need to go through an oil change, his body had just briefly gone through the power of 'Ashes' through the warm-up exercise, a quick warm-up, and what followed was the main event.

The boss continued: "Gradually, absorbing the 'Ashes' bit by bit is actually the safest way to absorb."

"But its problem is that it takes too long, the efficiency is low, and it does not meet your expectations, so, we will now enter conventional training."

"Using conventional training to put your body in a state of continuous burning, consuming those 'Ashes' floating on your shadow, and then absorbing them."

"In the gymnasium, some of the harmful characteristics contained in the pollution will be weakened, and with me watching you, the probability of you encountering danger is far less than in other areas."

Lin Yi listened silently, nodding slightly. At this time, he had the feeling that the boss was the gym teacher, or at least the chief senior sister who taught on behalf of the teacher...

"Conventional training is divided into strength, endurance, speed, technique, flexibility, coordination, psychological, recovery... and other trainings, but based on time constraints, I have selected a training for you from the 'cost-effectiveness' level - recovery training."

Lin Yi nodded slightly, but still asked curiously: "Boss, what is that psychological training?"

Judging from the literal meaning, he felt that he needed psychological training... After all, he felt that he was facing "Vision" more and more outrageously, and without good psychological quality, it was really easy to collapse.

The boss explained: "Psychological training is a training to improve one's concentration and stress resistance through methods such as meditation, breathing techniques, and psychological suggestion, but it should not be necessary for you."

"Ah?" Lin Yi didn't mean to argue, just expressing his own opinion very objectively, "To be honest, boss, I feel that after completing the training plan you have made for me, I can do a little psychological training..."

The boss shook his head and said: "I'm not lying to you, you really don't need this kind of training, because through my observation of you, I can basically conclude that you have basically reached the level after psychological training."

"Ah?" Lin Yi was stunned, with a confused look on his face that didn't need to be acted out.

The boss explained: "Because psychological training is a training to improve mental strength, but if you don't have enough mental strength, with the degree of pollution on your body, you should have gone crazy long ago, and you wouldn't have been able to survive until today, let alone you are still an 'Ashes' carrier."

"Oh, okay... I see." Lin Yi showed a look of realization.

"Actually, I should have guessed that your psychological quality is very strong from the beginning..." What the boss was referring to was the sports class on May 7, "I still underestimated you."

Lin Yi scratched his fingers. He didn't have much concept of his own psychological quality. If you were to ask him, he would definitely think that he relied on his "intelligence" to discover the rules that still existed after the layer fell, which is why he anchored himself back.

"But... Boss, why does Lin Yi have to do recovery training first?" Li Huiyuan on the side was a little puzzled, her big eyes blinking. She hadn't even reached the recovery training stage.

After the warm-up exercise, she jumped directly to recovery training, without doing so much training in between, which was far from the conventional training process for sports students.

In Lin Yi's eyes, there was also some incomprehension.

To be honest, he felt that some of those trainings were actually necessary, such as... endurance training?

The boss gave a rare smile: "While the break isn't over, you can ask any questions you have, because the recovery training is also sparring."

‘Sparring?’ Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a premonition that the situation wasn't good.

Seeing this, Li Huiyuan asked, "Boss, what about strength training? Strength training can enhance Lin Yi's muscle strength and explosiveness, allowing him to have the ability to protect himself when facing the False Ones."

The boss smiled: "The threat of the False Ones lies more in the pollution effect than physical damage. Even if he could attack the False Ones, he would be contaminated by them. He's not like us, who can digest the pollution at any time in the gym…"

"Moreover, his current crisis comes from the Angel Statue. You're still too inexperienced, your understanding of the threat of the Angel Statue isn't deep enough, and you don't know the meaning behind it… So, strength training won't help Lin Yi much."

"Aww!" Li Huiyuan suddenly understood, glanced at Lin Yi, and saw that Lin Yi also seemed to understand but was still a little doubtful. She instantly understood and became Lin Yi's mouthpiece, asking again, "Then what about endurance training? Endurance training can improve Lin Yi's endurance…"

The boss answered fluently: "Endurance training requires long-term training to be effective. It can't be achieved overnight. Besides, as I said before, as far as the Angel Statue is concerned, the strength of endurance only affects how long it takes them to kill Lin Yi."

"Then what about speed training? As the saying goes, ‘All martial arts under heaven can be broken with speed.’ If his speed is maxed out, he should be able to avoid the Angel Statue's attacks, right?"

The boss shook his head: "The Angel Statue cannot be judged by common sense. It's meaningless to only have physical speed. The reason I'm not arranging agility training is also because of this… Your understanding of the Angel Statue isn't enough, and I can't tell you too early, but Lin Yi, you should understand, right?"

Lin Yi's expression turned solemn, and he said seriously: "I understand."

He had already encountered the three types of Angel Statues. To be honest, he relied on speed to escape the pursuit of the Wrathful Angel, but no matter what kind of speed, it was meaningless against the Wraith Angel.

They were not on the same dimension of magnitude and could not be compared at all.

Mu Daxian was fast enough, but when facing the Wraith Angel, he could only choose to face it head-on and cleverly use the Substitute Technique to temporarily transfer the target, taking advantage of the time before the opponent re-locked on them to pre-emptively overwrite the space and build a ‘secret room’ to hide until dawn to escape the disaster.

But the next day, as soon as it was dark, they were still locked on.

As for the Aberrant Angel… judging from the Necropolis he had come into contact with, the school district layer was already abnormal when that kind of thing appeared. He couldn't even fly away, so mentioning speed was even more useless.

"Ugh… okay…" Li Huiyuan looked like a little white rabbit with drooping ears, pouting her mouth and no longer speaking. She winked at Lin Yi, as if to say—‘Mouthpiece Hui Hui has been successfully defeated by the boss. If you don't understand anything, ask yourself!’

Lin Yi took a deep breath and then nodded seriously: "Then let's start recovery training!"

Oh my god! Li Huiyuan's pretty face darkened. Wait… don't you have any questions?!

Are you really using me as cannon fodder!

The boss said: "Precisely because you can't avoid it, once you encounter the Angel Statue, all you can do is hold out until ‘support’ arrives, and that… requires you to have strong recovery ability."

"The bad news is that human recovery ability is limited."

"The good news is that polluters, based on the depth of pollution, have definitely deviated from the category of ‘normal humans.’"

"One of the effects of the sky-blue steam of the Sports Department is to accelerate recovery… So what we're going to do next is to ‘activate’ and improve your recovery ability through ‘recovery training.’"

"This can also be improved through training?!" Lin Yi was really surprised.

"This is a unique characteristic of the ‘Sports Department.’ More broadly speaking, this is a common attribute of ‘creatures’ with a sky-blue aura of pollution."

A polygon instantly appeared in Lin Yi's mind. The attributes corresponding to the training projects the boss had just mentioned became the indicators of the polygon.

Technique, Strength, Speed, Endurance, Coordination, Mental Strength, Recovery…

Then, as if he was imagining it, he saw a full-attribute hexagon floating beside the boss…

Damn, the boss is a heptagon warrior!

Wait…

Why no intelligence?

Lin Yi's expression changed slightly, and he immediately realized that things on the intelligence side might be an attribute of the Art Department…?!

But Mu Daxian's strength attribute seems to be quite high too…

Forget it, Mu Daxian is also an outlier and cannot be measured by common sense…

"What are you daydreaming about?" The boss's cold voice instantly brought Lin Yi back to his senses.

For some reason, the boss always felt that the look Lin Yi gave her just now had an indescribable strangeness, making her feel a little itchy in her soles, and a little impulse to kick Lin Yi…

"Although I don't know how you managed to activate the ‘sky-blue aura’ before transforming into a sports student, the world is so big that anything can happen, and it's not impossible for an exception to occur."

The boss was actually unwilling to delve into Lin Yi's secrets anymore. Everyone has their own secrets, and it's up to them whether they want to talk about them or not.

"So next, I will let you get hurt little by little, first simply stimulating your body so that you can maintain a constant ‘blue aura’ state."

"When injured, the sky-blue aura will quickly absorb the surrounding pollution and transform it into a part of the power to repair the injury… To a certain extent, it can also absorb ‘Ashes.’"

"Of course, this process is extremely dangerous, so I will monitor it in real time."

"From now on, Hui Hui, you spar with Lin Yi."

"Okay~ Boss!" Li Huiyuan rubbed her hands together.

"Lin Yi."

"Hmm?"

"You… are only allowed to be beaten, not allowed to fight back."

"Okay, Bo… wait, Boss, wait a minute?!"
