The pointer spun rapidly, then gradually slowed down, pointing towards a narrow, golden fan-shaped area.

Gu Qiongsheng's heart immediately rose to his throat, and his ears were beating non-stop.

A harsh prompt sound suddenly rang out:

[Beep! System failure, card pool not detected!]

Gu Qiongsheng, who had just become excited: "..."

A breath almost hit my lungs.

"What?"

Gu Qiongsheng frowned and tried to close the system interface. "If this function isn't available, then don't pop up the notification box. Giving people hope and then turning your back on them is the most annoying thing..."

[Beep, troubleshooting... Line not connected...]

[Activating the backup database... Randomly assigning talents... Beep beep beep, data is unique...]

[Congratulations on obtaining the character talent: Healing Soul! ]

Gu Qiongsheng's finger on the system screen paused slightly.

After a moment of silence, her eyes widened in surprise.

Is this a card bug?

Did they really give her a talent?

Gu Qiongsheng hurriedly clicked in to take a look.

[Character Talent: Healing Soul (Inlaid)]

[Rarity: ???]

【Level: ???】

[Charge method: Automatically +1 every three days, until the upper limit]

[Current number of times available: 10/10]

[Effect Description: You are electricity, you are light, you are the only hope. O healing power of destiny, embrace those souls in dire need of salvation!]

There was indeed a problem with the system. All the description items related to talents were a string of question marks, and Gu Qiongsheng couldn't even tell the rarity of the talents.

But the most ordinary talent is better than having no talent at all.

She doesn't pick and choose when it's a bargain.

Besides, this talent...the effect seems quite mysterious.

Gu Qiongsheng looked at the small line of words on the screen that described the skill effect, propped up his chin, and pondered for a long time.

...I have absolutely no idea what it does.

She remembered that the talent effects in the game were very clear, such as a 30% increase in attack power, a 20% increase in critical hit rate... In short, she had never seen anything so vague.

It's quite strange.

How about giving it a try?

Looking at the remaining 10 uses, Gu Qiongsheng was filled with excitement of getting a new toy.

She suppressed her excitement and cautiously called out in her heart, "Activate talent?"

[Beep, Talent: Healing Soul has been activated]

[Remaining usage time 60s, 59s, 58s...]

It only lasts 1 minute.

Gu Qiongsheng quickly calmed down and felt it carefully.

The light faded, and it was as if a black cloth covered my vision. Everything in my sight was pitch black, and the sound faded away like the tide, leaving only silence in my ears.

But slowly, many bubbles emerged from the darkness, large and small, colorful, floating lightly in the air, suspended and dancing with the wind.

Gu Qiongsheng looked at it curiously.

Somewhere in the dark, a strong intuition emerged in my heart.

She was able to identify the F classmate that each bubble corresponded to. The azure one was Zhou Qing, the pink one was Tan Yao... Joyful water flowed in the bubbles, reflecting colorful light like rosy clouds.

Although the essence of bubbles is sadness, Gu Qiongsheng can feel the happiness in their hearts at this moment.

Because hope has been found.

"So that's how it is," Gu Qiongsheng murmured. "The brighter and larger the bubbles, the heavier my worries become... Not only do you heal my body and mind, but you also want me to heal my soul?"

This is a bit unexpected.

Gu Qiongsheng was a little confused.

She is willing to be a good person, but being a good person does not mean being a saint. In this turbulent era, she has to seize the time to become stronger and protect her family. She really has no time to relieve other people's pain one by one.

"But if you think about it differently, this talent can be used in other ways."

Gu Qiongsheng fell into deep thought: "For example... a high-energy locator?"

...Well, that's right. There's no need to limit your thinking.

Who doesn’t feel hurt these days?

With this talent, she is equivalent to having a 60-second 360-degree no-blind-angle scanning radar, which can accurately locate the position of other people. It is no problem for her to crack signal jammers, color mimicry, and mental barriers.

Oh, that’s great!

Gu Qiongsheng was happily calculating the various uses of his talent in his mind. He raised his eyes and casually glanced at the remaining time. Seeing that there were only 10 seconds left, he subconsciously looked up into the distance.

She wanted to see how far this talent's vision range was.

Unexpectedly, this sight made her stunned.

Small bubbles crowded together passed by my eyes, and in the thick inky darkness in the distance, a huge bubble was floating quietly.

The whole thing was a melancholy dark blue, faintly emitting an aura of extreme pain. Even from a long distance away, Gu Qiongsheng could feel the dark waves flowing within it.

It was like a surging sea under the night sky, the waves rolled silently, the waves roared silently, all the tears and blood condensed into reefs, drowned in the boundless ocean.

So sad, so helpless, just one look at it makes me want to cry.

Gu Qiongsheng stared blankly, and vague sobbing sounds drifted past his ears.

Low, hoarse, and fine sobs.

It's like burying your cheeks tightly in your arms, not wanting anyone to see even if you are crying.

"Is there nothing else to do?"

"Is there really no way?"

"I don't want to... I don't want to die, save me..."

"Save me...save me..."

“…Who will save me?”

[Beep, time remaining 0s.]

The gifted vision suddenly faded.

My vision returned to normal, and the noise came like a tide. The sun poured down on me, spreading its warm light generously.

Gu Qiongsheng stood in the middle of the crowd, listening to the passionate training sounds of the students in Class F, and stood there in a daze for a long time.

She looked at the white wall at the end of the training ground and slowly blinked her sore eyes.

What's on the other side of the wall?

Who is... calling for help?

…

During the following training, Gu Qiongsheng was a little absent-minded.

I always couldn't help but look up and glance at the high white wall at the end of the training ground.

Curiosity was like many small feathers with pointed tips, scratching her heart, and the desire for oxygen flooded her in an instant.

Finally, she couldn't help but pull Zhou Qing over and pointed at the high wall, "Do you know what's going on over there?"

Zhou Qing looked in the direction of her finger, puzzled. "Over there... I don't know. I've never been there."

She stood on tiptoe, trying to look away. "Is it also part of the school? Maybe it's a laboratory. Doesn't our school have that kind of experimental project that's connected to the War College?"

laboratory?

Gu Qiongsheng touched his chin with his fingertips and fell into thought.

Seeing her eager look, Zhou Qing asked curiously, "Sister Qiongsheng, do you want to go over there and take a look?"

"Hmm, I have this idea..."

Gu Qiongsheng's eyes swept across the high wall and finally stopped on an inconspicuous small device in the upper right corner of the wall.

"Is that a siren?"

There should be a detector installed on the wall. If you go over there rashly, it might trigger an alarm, which would be bad.

Zhou Qing: "It's just an alarm. With your mechanical skills, Sister Qiongsheng, you can fix it in minutes."

Gu Qiongsheng: “…”

It feels like shooting oneself in the foot.

She can only repair, not destroy.

Fortunately, Zhou Qing didn't pay attention to it and immediately said, "If it's not convenient for you to take action, there is another way."

"Tan Yao is the best at this kind of thing. He even boasted to me before, saying that if he was given enough tools, he could even sneak into the Federal Building."

Gu Qiongsheng was surprised: "This... is a bit exaggerated, right?"

How many drinks did you have?

Zhou Qing said with a smile, "So we need to let him show off some of his skills."

…

Tan Yao worked very quickly, and the next day, a newly made shield was placed on Gu Qiongsheng's desk.

Although it is made of scrap parts, it looks brand new and is small and cute, like a round little ball.

After playing with it in his hand for a while, he found the cool touch very comfortable. Gu Qiongsheng was surprised to find that its metal shell was polished extremely smoothly, as if it had been specially polished.

Who would have thought that this guy had such a delicate heart hidden under his perverse face?

She raised her head.

She just happened to catch Tan Yao with a pair of huge dark circles under his eyes, peeking at her from the corner.

"Thank you," Gu Qiongsheng waved at him, "It's very beautiful, much cuter than those sold outside."

Tan Yao lowered his head in panic.

He pretended that he heard nothing and was concentrating on studying the personal terminal on his wrist. The small piece of white earlobes exposed under his red hair was slightly red.

It was not until Gu Qiongsheng walked out of the classroom with the shield that he raised his head again, watching Qingjun's figure disappear at the end of the road. He subconsciously raised his right hand and touched his nose.

"……cut."

Tan Yao muttered softly.

"How can the things made by those robot assembly lines out there compare to what I make?"

On the other side, Gu Qiongsheng walked across the training ground and came to the foot of the high wall.

Seeing that there was no one around, she carefully pressed the button on the shield, and a small suction cup popped out from the bottom of the ball and stuck firmly to the wall.

The radio signal is released silently.

After a moment, the small red light on the upper right corner alarm turned green.

At the same time, the isolation electric fence above the high wall quietly disappeared.

This will allow you to pass.

As for the high wall, it was nothing to Gu Qiongsheng's current physical condition. She tried jumping a few times on the spot, climbing and pushing with her palms, and kicked her long legs against the wall, using the force to climb over the high wall.

Before turning over, Gu Qiongsheng had many imaginations.

For example, across the street is an abandoned laboratory where inhumane experiments were once conducted, and the test subjects who luckily survived are crying... Or across the street is a medical center where seriously injured soldiers toss and turn in bed...

But she never imagined that when she sat on the high wall and looked down, the first thing she saw was a lush camphor tree.

The branches and leaves are lush and green.

Nearly half of the entire courtyard is gently shrouded by the tree, blocking out the sunlight and, as if blocking out the world.

Gu Qiongsheng raised his right hand to block the glaring sunlight in front of his forehead and squinted slightly.

Through the gaps between the branches, she saw a person sitting under the tree.

The leaves blocked the view so much that I could only see a corner of the white shirt and the black hair that was messy in the wind and looked like broken diamonds.

...Is this the person?

Gu Qiongsheng was extremely curious.

But she didn't know whether she should jump down. After all, this small courtyard didn't look like an evil laboratory or confinement center. What if she disturbed others' rest?

Just as she was struggling with her thoughts, the person under the tree looked up and saw Gu Qiongsheng on the wall.

The moment he saw the girl's figure, the other party was obviously stunned for a moment.

Out of courtesy, he waved politely to Gu Qiongsheng.

Gu Qiongsheng's mind immediately calmed down.

She simply jumped down from the wall, raised her hand to pat the dust stuck on her sleeves, raised her eyes and greeted with a smile: "Hello, why are you here alone?"

The other party didn't expect her to be so familiar and was stunned for a moment.

After Gu Qiongsheng landed, he caught a glimpse of a stone table in front of the young man from the corner of his eye. There were 324 horizontal and vertical squares on the stone table, as well as two sets of chess pieces, one black and one white. His eyes lit up slightly.

"Go?"

This thing is nothing to her, but to the interstellar people, it is a real antique.

Qin Yuan was also surprised.

The look in his eyes clearly said: Do you know Go?

"Of course not," Gu Qiongsheng rolled up his sleeves. "I took a Go class when I was a kid... No, I've loved these archaeological things since I was a kid. Not only Go, I can also play Gobang, Chinese chess, checkers, and flying chess..."

Qin Yuan looked at her with strange eyes.

Gu Qiongsheng didn't explain and smiled at him again.

Her eyes were moving and she was smiling.

At the same time, she was secretly sizing up the young man in front of her.

He was really handsome, with gentle features, and she almost drooled at the sight of him.

Although the genes of interstellar humans have been greatly improved in the past thousands of years, people like Lu Yuanji, Sheng Zhang, etc. are not bad looking, but they cannot compare with the person in front of her.

It’s this boy... He doesn’t look very healthy.

His skin was so white that it was almost transparent in the sunlight, and he was thin. When playing chess, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his slender forearms and two or three winding purple blood vessels on them.

Gu Qiongsheng looked at the young man for a while, and seeing that he remained silent, he gradually became embarrassed: "Did I disturb you?"

Qin Yuan looked at her quietly, his eyes slightly disturbed.

After a long time, he suddenly spoke.

"I remember you."

The young man turned his head and pointed in the direction of the training room: "Over there that day, you beat the two-player mode. That was impressive."

Gu Qiongsheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

Well, seeing as she's at the training ground, does that mean she's a student at Yuancheng High School?

"Classmate, which class are you from? Why don't I remember seeing you before?"

Not even in the original owner's memory.

The original owner studied here for three years after all. Even if he didn't pay attention to interpersonal relationships, he should have no impression of it at all.

Qin Yuan shook his head: "Me? I'm on leave from school to recuperate. You should be able to tell that I'm sick."

Gu Qiongsheng: "Ah... What is this disease? How long will it take to cure?"

Qin Yuan didn't respond.

He just lowered his eyes and continued to look at the Go stone table in front of him.

Seeing his attitude, Gu Qiongsheng felt a subtle sense of foreboding. She paused for a moment and whispered, "Do you want to... try a healing spell?"

Qin Yuan: "...what?"

Healing?

Do you mean the therapist?

Shaking his head, Qin Yuan was about to say thank you for your concern, saying that he had consulted a therapist but it had no effect at all.

But before he could say anything, the girl in front of him opened and closed her lips slightly, silently reciting a line -

The next second, a warm current suddenly enveloped him.

It is so warm, like a bonfire in the middle of the night, or like the first ray of sunshine melting the winter frost and snow.

Qin Yuan's unspoken words froze in his mouth, and his hand holding the chess piece also froze for a moment. He stared blankly, feeling the warm current flowing through his body, soothing his broken meridians, and repairing his scarred body.

It’s so magical, there is such a warm spiritual power?

Qin Yuan raised his head.

This time, his gaze was more focused than before, and his eyes were not only filled with remembrance, but also a hint of envy.

It was just a fleeting moment and was well contained.

"I see, no wonder you can..."

No wonder, no wonder the girl in front of me was able to regroup and cheer up even after failing to awaken.

What a pity...

With his eyelids slightly lowered, Qin Yuan tried to mobilize his mental power.

There was a powerful force like a volcano pressing down on him. With a slight push, sparks flew out and the powerful mental force overflowed in an instant, tearing the wounds in his body that had just been repaired again.

“Ahem!”

Qin Yuan hurriedly suppressed the strength in his body, coughed heavily a few times, and his face became even paler.

But the knuckles on his right hand were still cracked, oozing out fine, sticky blood.

Qin Yuan stared at his thin wrist, shook his head helplessly, and gave Gu Qiongsheng a wry smile: "Sorry, you saw that ordinary treatments don't work on me."

"But... your power is truly special. Very special. Use it well, and you can go far."

"Classmate, school isn't over yet. You should have classes next, right?"

Gu Qiongsheng's eyes were clearly a little vague; "Hmm... Hmm?"

As soon as she cast her first healing spell, her attention was drawn to the jumping system prompt:

[Beep, rare treasure·severely injured target detected, talent·Healing Soul passive effect activated. ]

[The proficiency gained from treatment has been greatly improved——]

A significant increase, how significant?

Gu Qiongsheng glanced at it casually.

Immediately her eyes widened.

System display: [Skill Proficiency +10]

+10!

A full 10 times!

Oh my god, it’s almost catching up with all the proficiency she gained from the previous blue bar!

Gu Qiong's breathing suddenly became rapid.

When she raised her head again, her gaze towards Qin Yuan was extremely passionate, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes seemed to be burning with fire.

The handsome face is no longer important, the sickly figure is no longer important, now in her eyes this person is just a walking experience pack, a large-scale proficiency copy - oh, no matter what, she is determined to protect this person!

Ignoring Qin Yuan's look that seemed to be trying to get rid of him, Gu Qiongsheng sat down at the stone table. His white and tender fingertips picked up the chess pieces on the stone table and said, "Come on, come on, it's so hard to meet a fellow enthusiast. Let's play a game."

"Go... Ugh, damn, I've almost forgotten all about Go. How about we play a game of Gomoku?"

Qin Yuan looked at her helplessly: "...What is Gobang?"

Won't?

That's great. Gu Qiongsheng smiled and said, "I'll teach you."

"But playing chess always involves stakes. If I win..."

She paused, thinking about how to say "I'll give you a sip" in a tactful way.

Qin Yuan pondered for a moment, his deep eyes changing expression, and suddenly he seemed to change his mind and said, "That's fine."

"If you win, I'll... I'll have Grandpa give you access to the training room here."

Training room?

Gu Qiongsheng was slightly stunned: "Is it a training room like the one in school?"

Qin Yuan shook his head: "It's harder than that."

"Also, the training room at school is limited to one use per person per day, but the training room here has no limit. With your recovery ability, you can definitely use it multiple times."

Plop, plop.

Gu Qiongsheng heard his own rapid heartbeat again.

She stared at Qin Yuan in disbelief, her eyes sweeping across the young man's tall nose: "Is there such a good thing?"

Qin Yuan's eyes were bright and he nodded.

"Only if you beat me."

"A game of chess, a training opportunity, how about that?"

From the moment Gu Qiongsheng entered the courtyard, he showed his first noticeable emotion. It wasn't a polite, distant smile, but a genuine smile that curved his eyebrows and sank deep into his eyes.

Gu Qiongsheng immediately rolled up his sleeves.

When playing chess, you cannot lose the battle formation.

Rolling up her sleeves, she clapped her porcelain-white hands on both sides of the stone table and said, "Come on, start!"

…

Ten minutes later.

Gu Qiongsheng narrowly won.

"Haha, thank you, thank you..."

She smiled and pushed the chess piece aside, secretly wiping away the cold sweat on her forehead.

——Damn, the young man in front of her looked thin and frail, but he was actually very smart. He understood the key to playing Go right after hearing the rules, and forced her to use all her skills in the first game.

Fortunately, she relied on her rich experience and won the final victory.

After glancing at the blue bar, Gu Qiongsheng gave a sip of milk to the young man opposite.

Qin Yuan was holding a chess piece between his fingertips, looking at the defeated chessboard in deep thought.

He was used to playing Go, and pinching the chess pieces was also a Go technique. The shiny black chess pieces rolled under his slender white fingertips, making his bones and skin look more distinct and white as snow.

A warm current of healing suddenly surged in his body. Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and raised his head with a look of laughter and tears: "Really, it's useless to me. Don't waste your mental energy."

"It's okay, I recover quickly."

Gu Qiongsheng heard the notification sound of [Proficiency +10] and cheered in his heart. He said eagerly, "I see you look unwell. How about another shot?"

"Yes, the lip color is not good either. Come on, come on, do it a few more times."

"If it doesn't work once, maybe it will work a few times! Don't be polite with me, I felt a special affinity with you the first time I saw you. It's just fate. You're my friend... no, we're definitely friends!"

Qin Yuan, who was fed several more times, said: "..."

Shaking his head with a smile, Qin Yuan sighed in his heart.

Gu Qiongsheng's treatment was indeed effective, but no matter how powerful the treatment was, it could not defeat the destructive factors that were constantly surging in his body.

Even if he didn't activate his mental strength, that powerful force would gradually erode his body, making Gu Qiongsheng's treatment useless.

In Qin Yuan's eyes, it was not worth it to waste his rare healing mental power on his broken sack-like body.

But when the girl's nonchalant words fell into his ears, a warmth welled up in his heart that he couldn't suppress.

It has been a long time since I received such pure care.

Qin Yuan raised his head.

He happened to look into the girl's eyes which were full of smiles.

Gu Qiongsheng's pupils were not the standard black, but had a slight brown tint around the edges. When the sunlight fell into his eyes, they reflected a beautiful and lustrous amber-like luster, as if filled with honey.

Qin Yuan suddenly felt his ears burning.

There was no other way, so he avoided Gu Qiongsheng's gaze and deliberately changed the subject: "You won, are you going to the training room now?"

Gu Qiongsheng raised his eyebrows.

"OK."

…

The training room is on the other side of the courtyard.

Pushing open the door, the room was very bright. A clean skylight opened from the corner of the house, and golden sunlight poured down, sprinkling on the neatly arranged simulation cabin and controllers.

“Is it so exquisite?”

Gu Qiongsheng's eyes lit up.

It is simply the best annotation for special treatment.

Qin Yuan's expression was a little complicated. His eyes subconsciously paused on the controller, then moved away as if burned, and fell on the control console in the corner of the room.

He pulled out an authorization card from his pocket and inserted it into the card slot.

"bite--"

A wind chime-like prompt sounded, and the surface of the simulation cabin glowed with a deep blue luster, entering operation mode.

Gu Qiongsheng watched with great interest: "Wow, this device looks more advanced than the one at school."

"...I guess so," Qin Yuan said softly, his eyes dim. "This is a modified training device retired from the War College. It has more training modes and a more flexible AI. You'd better be careful later... Hey, wait a moment."

He stopped the excited Gu Qiongsheng and picked up the controller: "This instrument has not been used for a long time. Let me check it first to make sure there is no problem."

Gu Qiongsheng: “…?”

Haven't used it for a long time?

She blinked, looked at the spotless training room and the simulation cabin whose shell was polished to a near shine, and frowned in confusion.

It's so clean, it doesn't look like it has been abandoned for a long time.

and……

"According to you, this training device is more advanced than the one in school. Why has it been abandoned for so long?"

Gu Qiongsheng raised his hand and carefully stroked the outer shell of the simulation cabin a few times. Suddenly, his fingertips touched a tiny protrusion.

She touched it carefully a few times and identified two dark golden characters.

"QY".

Low-key, yet proudly engraved on the simulator, it declares ownership.

On the other side, Qin Yuan checked the machine and said calmly, "Because this training device is too advanced for high school students."

"It was originally designed for awakened university students. The simulated AI inside is extremely powerful, several times more powerful than the two-player mode you've experienced. Ordinary university students wouldn't be able to persevere. Instead, they would suffer mental damage from repeated 'deaths.'"

"But you're different."

The young man looked up and glanced at Gu Qiongsheng. "Your recovery ability is astonishing, and your mental strength is a rare healing attribute. Furthermore, your healing ability exceeds that of ordinary healers by a hundred or a thousand times. You can completely eliminate the dangers of mental damage, which means you have the basic guarantee for using this training device."

"Of course, although this training room is difficult to build, the benefits it brings are beyond the reach of ordinary training rooms."

Gu Qiongsheng listened carefully and nodded.

But even so, the doubts in her heart still bubbled up like bubbles.

"High school students can't control it... Then why did this training device appear in Yuancheng High School?"

The girl's clear voice floated in the air, gently intertwined with the warm breeze.

Qin Yuan was typing a long string of characters on the console. When he heard this question, his flying hands suddenly stopped.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yuan didn't look up.

His voice was a little muffled, as if something was blocking his chest. His tone was very light, but every word seemed to be bitten on the tip of his tongue, turning over and over countless times.

"Because before, Yuancheng High School produced an unparalleled genius who possessed super high spiritual power before awakening."

"He quickly ransacked the school's training room. Even with the difficulty set to the highest setting, it couldn't bring him the desired training effect."

"So, the school's top management, who had high hopes for him, approached the War College and applied to build this dedicated training room."

When he said this, his tone was still calm.

But Gu Qiongsheng had a vague feeling that the young man in front of him exuded an indescribable sadness, like a wave of whispering sighs under the dark sky.

Gu Qiongsheng subconsciously lowered his voice: "And then?"

What happened to that genius?

Qin Yuan was typing away on the operating table, his long, bony hands moving like butterflies through flowers. Finally, as he pressed the last button, a white light lit up on the screen.

[Beep, AW01 simulation cabin is now operational. Students, please access the training ground—]

Qin Yuan exhaled lightly and placed his hands lightly on the table.

"He's dead."

Qin Yuan immediately looked up and gave Gu Qiongsheng a faint smile. "Alright, let's not talk about these disappointing things. The training chamber has been debugged. Let's try it out?"

…

[Ding Dong, welcome to the training ground! ]

[The fixed simulation environment for this course is: Meierlan Star SSS3 version.]

[Training goal: Kill all Zerg.]

Standing in the training ground, Gu Qiongsheng listened to the system prompt and couldn't help but gasp: "Hiss, SSS difficulty?"

That sounds terrible.

And the simulation location is Meierlan, a planet she knows nothing about.

It is probably an early battlefield outside the Milky Way.

Back in the heyday of humanity's greatest glory, we once explored 2,000 light-years beyond the Milky Way, leaving traces on countless planets. Back then, interstellar humanity was ambitious, believing they would become the most dazzling race in the universe. But before long, the Zerg descended from the sky.

Greedy, ugly, and destructive Zerg.

Under the special system of the matriarchal society, they do not need captives or vassals, they just need to kill, kill madly, and seize resources to feed the mother clan. They are like a group of locusts in the universe, leaving no grass wherever they pass.

The madness of the Zerg completely destroyed humanity’s last fantasy of “communication”.

Then came the war.

A war that is losing ground.

It took humans nearly a thousand years to gradually move out of the Milky Way, but now it has retreated to its doorstep in just ten years. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of psychic warriors who caught the Zerg off guard, the concept of "humanity" would probably no longer exist.

But the psychic warriors only caused the battlefield to enter a stalemate, and there was still a long way to go before they could win this battle for survival.

And according to recent federal news, galaxies on the edge of the Milky Way are constantly falling, and this hope is becoming increasingly slim...

[Beep, training begins.]

The crisp prompt sound brought Gu Qiongsheng's attention back to reality.

She took a half step back, leaned her center of gravity slightly forward, gripped the dagger tightly, and concentrated her mind.

There was dead silence around me.

I could only hear my own gentle breathing.

The more such an environment is, the faster one's heart beats.

Gu Qiongsheng raised her vigilance to the highest level. At a certain moment, she suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, so stimulating that it made her scalp tingle.

It was as if something opened its yellow eyes in the darkness, and its vertical pupils stared at her intently.

"call!"

A subtle, swift sound of wind.

What followed was a fleeting shadow.

Gu Qiongsheng had just raised half of his arm, and before he could even swing the dagger in his hand, a sharp pain came from his back!

The moment they passed each other, the black shadow tore open the skin on her back with its sharp claws!

"hiss!"

Gu Qiongsheng was in great pain and quickly gave himself a sip of milk.

Fortunately, she moved quickly enough, otherwise this one claw alone would have been enough to eliminate her.

Barely holding on to his breath and not being judged as "seriously injured" by the system, Gu Qiongsheng raised his head with his teeth bared.

This time, she finally saw Shadow's true face.

It was a thin worm, its half-meter-long body emitting a low-key metallic luster. Most of its body was hidden in the darkness, with only a narrow section of its forelimbs exposed.

Slender and sharp, they were like two ice-cold scalpels that could easily cut through the skin, sever tendons and bones, and burst into bloody flowers of flesh and blood.

Riftworm.

The assassin among the Zerg, the most agile and sharpest knife.

Gu Qiongsheng: “…”

A sudden chill came over me.

She subconsciously took a half step back.

When she was stared at by those dark yellow vertical pupils, it was as if a thin snake was winding up along her back, making her hair stand on end wherever it passed.

What’s even more terrifying is that Gu Qiongsheng keenly realized that the previous confrontation was just a simple test.

The AI ​​in this training room was truly advanced. Even the Zerg's expressions were incredibly realistic. After a brief probing, it confirmed that the girl before it was an ant far weaker than itself, and with that, it revealed a look of contempt, filled with murderous desire.

“Snap!”

Many sword flashes appeared!

Its body hidden in the shadows slowly emerged, and Gu Qiongsheng was shocked to find that it was actually a long body like a centipede, with blades hidden on both sides of each body section.

They all waved their weapons together, like a sea of ​​cold light!

“Isn’t this too cruel?”

Gu Qiongsheng didn't care about saving the mana bar, and used all the single and group healing skills to replenish his milk at all costs.

——She had no doubt that in the next round of attack, if she couldn't block all the sharp knives, the knife lights would mercilessly penetrate her body and turn her into a hedgehog!

It’s too difficult, too difficult. No wonder it is said that it is too difficult for college students to bear. Is this the training cabin of the War College?

Or rather...

Is this the Zerg on the real battlefield?

Gu Qiongsheng was really hesitant.

The difficulty of the training ahead was beyond her imagination. If she continued to persist, she would only end up having her spiritual body stabbed by a random knife.

Even if she has enough milk, it will still hurt.

"To be brave but not wise is to be reckless," she clenched the dagger tightly and muttered softly, "I can't be reckless. I'm just a weak and pitiful little healer..."

Suddenly, a prompt sounded in Gu Qiongsheng's ears:

[Beep, high-intensity enemy detected.]

[Judged to be a cross-level challenge, the system is calculating additional rewards... Beep, defeat the enemy and gain a significant increase in experience.]

"Hmm?"

Gu Qiongsheng's eyes lit up.

A significant increase... How much? Is it another tenfold critical hit?

She was suddenly not afraid anymore, nor did she feel any pain. Isn't this the fun of playing the game? Cross-level challenges, chipping away at the boss's health bar bit by bit, and gaining experience... Yeah!

Her courage returned, she raised her head and stared at the Zerg not far away with burning eyes.

"What you just said doesn't count. It's just a long worm. I'm going to kill you right now!"

She gripped the dagger tightly and concentrated again.

In front of her, the rift worm dragged its long body, wielding a knife, and opened its hideous mouthparts towards her, with fishy yellow saliva flowing straight out -

Gu Qiongsheng frowned.

"It's so ugly," she muttered softly, "I really want to take a pair of scissors and cut this thing off, cut off all these long limbs..."

……Um?

yes!

An idea suddenly flashed through Gu Qiongsheng's mind, and he wondered in a daze, why should he be limited to daggers?

Mental power is clearly a soft cloud that should be molded by her, changing with her will.

Why, can’t it be scissors?

The moment the thought came to his mind, the dagger in Gu Qiongsheng's hand changed.

Its shape gradually became transparent and turned into flowing energy. It then quickly reorganized and took shape according to the appearance Gu Qiongsheng had imagined in his mind, revealing a long, shiny blade that shone with a cold glow.

Gu Qiongsheng's mental strength is still limited, so the handle of this pair of scissors is very thin.

The sharp blade was extremely long, and shone with the cool light of cold iron.

Gu Qiongsheng gripped the hilt of the knife tightly and tried to open and close it several times.

“Crack, crack!”

The crisp biting sound echoed in the quiet earth, so sharp that even the wind was cut off.

Pointing the tip of the scissors at the yellow vertical pupils of the riftworm, Gu Qiongsheng took a deep breath, and his eyes focused, and his gaze became sharp in an instant.

bring it on!

Let her see what kind of experience critical hit it is?

…

Outside the training room, Qin Yuan leaned against the wall, looking at his watch boredly.

He wore a traditional mechanical watch on his thin wrist. The dial was a dark night, but the second and minute hands were faintly glowing, like two stars tearing through the sky, turning "click-click" non-stop.

"Two minutes already?" Qin Yuan
