Late at night, Xiang Fan lazily nestled in his cave abode, the light of the psychic network flickering before him, the entire room shrouded in a faint blue glow. He gnawed a spiritual fruit, his expression somewhat languid, while in his ears he could hear Ning Yuge's hysterical complaints on the other end of the psychic communication line.

"Boss, let me tell you, these losers are enough to make people so angry that their heads are smoking! They are all ridiculously lazy and there is no sign of saving them at all!" Ning Yuge's voice was so loud that it almost broke through the audio limiter of the psychic communication.

Xiang Fan bit into the spiritual fruit and slowly replied, "Captain, don't give in so quickly. You're already breaking down after just a few days of training? If you can't even handle such a small problem, how can you still hope to command a team?"

"Can't handle it?!" Ning Yuge's voice rose another octave. "Do you know what kind of people I deal with every day? There's a tea maker who says competitions are about friendship first, and winning or losing doesn't matter. There's a spirit fruit eater who watches his idol's live broadcasts and says spirit energy concerts can soothe the mood. There's also a tactical theory enthusiast who talks a lot of eloquently, but when I ask him to run a few steps, he acts weak! How do you train like this?"

Xiang Fan couldn't help laughing when he heard this. "You sound quite lively. It does sound outrageous. But how can I, a psychic network expert, help you deal with these 'nursing home' team members?"

Ning Yuge's tone faltered, and then he said angrily, "What's the point of scolding people? What I need is a training method that can turn these losers into brave warriors! Boss, aren't you omnipotent?"

"Okay, okay, it sounds like you're really miserable." Xiang Fan sighed and rubbed his head. "Since you're so pitiful, I'll help you find some information, but we have to make a deal - the next time we trade parts, the price will be reduced by another 20%."

"Don't even mention 20%, I'd be willing to take 50%! As long as it can help my team stand up!" Ning Yuge's voice finally held a glimmer of hope.

Xiang Fan raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay, then you wait. I'll go to the psychic network and find something useful for you."

Xiang Fan set aside the spiritual fruit in his hand, and the psychic keyboard rapidly jumped at his fingertips. He connected to the deeper reaches of the psychic network, aiming for the legendary secret database, said to contain all sorts of secret manuals of the immortal cultivation world. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "In a place like this, no matter how complex the defenses are, they can't stop me, Xiang Fan."

Psychic arrays appeared on the screen, their complex runes gradually disintegrating as Xiang Fan manipulated them. He muttered, "Level 1 protection... is broken. Level 2 protection is pretty average... huh, this database is just so-so."

Soon, he broke into the core area of ​​the database. Various secret manual titles appeared before his eyes, such as "A Thousand Applications of Psychic Formations", "A Complete Analysis of Alchemy Accidents", and "The Sect Elders' Health Secrets". Xiang Fan rolled his eyes and said, "What a mess!"

Just as he was about to quit, a headline caught his eye: "The Ultimate Secret to Personality Transformation." Xiang Fan clicked on it, and the opening paragraph caught his eye: "Destroy the body and mind, reshape the bloodiness—a highly effective transformation program suitable for all kinds of weak individuals." He smiled: "Isn't this Ning Yuge's lifeline?"

He quickly downloaded the manual and prepared to evacuate. Before leaving, he suddenly noticed the sign at the top of the database that read "Tian Dao Military Alliance Confidential Archives." Xiang Fan was stunned for a moment, then shrugged. "Never mind, how dare you call this shabby place's defenses confidential? But I've got a copy, so it should be fine."

As soon as I exited the psychic network, an alert popped up on the edge of the screen: "Illegal data download detected. Please return it within 24 hours, otherwise action will be taken."

Xiang Fan stared at the message for a few seconds, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "24 hours? You think you can catch up with me with that crappy code of yours? You're dreaming."

He turned off the alarm and quickly called Ning Yuge: "Captain, it's done! We got the secret code. This time, the losers on your team are saved. Get ready for Hell Mode."

"Boss, you're truly my adopted parent!" Ning Yuge was so excited that she almost jumped out of her chair. "If this works, I'll treat you to the best spirit wine!"

Xiang Fan hung up the call with a smile, leaning back lazily on the psychic chair, muttering, "Ning Yuge, this time it depends on whether you can hold on. But this secret technique looks pretty cruel. Maybe it won't be the team members who go crazy first, but you, the captain."

In the distant, hidden servers of the Tiandao Military Alliance, several psychic fluctuations quietly streaked across the screen. The screen flickered, seeming to foreshadow the brewing of an unknown storm.

Late at night, a message popped up on Ning Yuge's psychic communication screen, and he couldn't wait to click it. The familiar codename "Zero" appeared on the screen, along with a line of concise words:

"Mission completed. I've sent you the secret manual. Take a good look at it."

Ning Yuge raised his eyebrows, a hint of anticipation playing on his lips. He clicked on the attachment, and a virtual book suddenly appeared on the screen. The cover was emblazoned with the words: "The Ultimate Secret to Personality Transformation." The title exuded an aura of awe, causing Ning Yuge to subconsciously straighten his back.

"To transform one's character, one must first destroy one's existing beliefs. Only when one is exhausted, both physically and mentally, can one rebuild one's courage and fighting spirit."

Ning Yuge's eyes lit up. Just this one sentence made his blood boil. He excitedly flipped to the back of the book. The more he read, the more he felt that this secret manual could be called a "waste transformation manual." The specific training methods in it were so hardcore that they were outrageous:

Phase 1: Strengthen physical limits, 24 hours of non-stop high-pressure training, and stimulate survival instincts.

The second stage: high-intensity psychological suggestion, breaking down weak mentality through continuous language stimulation.

The third stage: shaping the team atmosphere and rebuilding team cohesion through extreme confrontation.

Ning Yuge couldn't help laughing as he watched: "This is the real training method! What friendship first? What these people need is iron-blooded transformation!" His laughter was full of anticipation, but also carried a bit of creepy meaning.

When he read the chapter "Humiliation and Reshaping", the spiritual fruit in his mouth almost spit out:

“Only when the weak are constantly defeated by words can they find the courage to fight back.”

Ning Yuge clapped his thigh and laughed heartily: "Great! That's great! These lazy bastards deserve to be scolded. I have to scold them until they doubt their lives!"

The more he read the following chapters, the more excited he became. He almost wanted to grab the team members and start training immediately.

“Punishment and Reward: Every mistake has a price to pay, and every success has a reward, establishing a direct link between behavior and results.”

"Extreme Stress Resistance: Five consecutive days of overload training can force any weak character to become resilient."

Ning Yuge closed the manual, his eyes gleaming, as if he had already witnessed the transformation of his teammates. He stood up and paced back and forth in the cave, like a general preparing for battle, muttering to himself, "This time, see how I transform these useless people into steel warriors!"
