"Ah, Sister Yin... Ah!" Ye Shaoheng shuddered as soon as he heard Shi Yin's voice and tried to get out by clinging to the edge of the training pod.
However, his whole body went numb, his hand slipped and he fell down again, the back of his head making intimate contact with the wall of the training cabin with a thud.
"Lie down, I'll take you through one round. You're progressing too slowly." Shi Yin casually found a training pod and lay down: "No matter what we face, the worst thing humans can do is to have courage when they know the gap between us. That's not a good habit."
"I'm sorry," Lin Beiyue apologized guiltily.
"You're all newcomers, there's no need to apologize." The training pod closed, and Shi Yin pressed a few buttons.
A small helmet rose up from below and enveloped Shi Yin's head. More than twenty or thirty tubes filled with liquid, each with a metal plate the size of a fingernail, adhered to various parts of her body, including six near her heart. She could feel the suction from the helmet, probably more than a dozen.
[Fahrenheit has connected to the training pod and has taken full control of the AI to ensure the absolute safety of its owner. The owner can instruct me to modify the program anytime, anywhere.]
“Downgrade my power to B-rank,” Shi Yin said.
Master, you mustn't make things difficult for the artificial system.
[Master, Rank B only represents 0.0000000001% of your power. This data is too precise; Phaethon's computing power is limited.]
Of course, Phaethon cannot completely simulate his master's power; the training pod has a limited capacity, and forcing a complete simulation might cause it to explode.
“Then preserve the body’s inherent strength and suppress the supernatural ability to one-tenth.” Shi Yin didn’t know how this percentage was calculated, so she didn’t insist.
It was just a combat demonstration, there's no need to be so strict.
[The original physical constitution and strength of the master are preserved, and the superpower simulation is locked at one.]
[Start Simulation of the Main Body___]
[Simulated Clothing and Details____]
Shi Yin closed her eyes and could feel a faint electric current coming from the iron plates attached to the tubes. The helmet tightened slightly, and then a feeling of weightlessness came over her. Shi Yin paused slightly and stood steadily on a patch of grass.
[Simulation complete.]
"...Is this really not your own aesthetic sense?" Shi Yin looked at her combat uniform, a well-fitting black bodysuit with luxurious gold patterns printed on it.
The design of this cape and hat looks more like something out of a movie.
“This thing will hinder our operations,” Shi Yin said, taking off her straw hat. “Change it to regular black.”
[…Beep, changes complete.]
The system's mechanical voice sounded somewhat aggrieved.
[Object detected falling from height. Please be careful, owner...]
"Aaaaaaah!"
"ah!"
"Ouch!"
"Why did it fall from the sky this time?!"
Shi Yin silently moved two steps to the side, then three steps back, and then two steps to the left. Immediately afterwards, a string of people fell from the sky like falling fruit.
Qin Jin and Lin Beiyue were a bit more composed, landing with fairly standard postures, while Ye Shaoheng, wearing heavy armor, smashed a large crater in the simulated grass.
"This random landing is such a rip-off." Gu Changge rubbed her lower back. She had once been thrown into the air and died, and she was still a bit traumatized by it.
“Your death rate is too high. Not counting the last challenge against a higher level, each of you has died an average of three times.” Shi Yin crossed her arms and calmly watched everyone get up. “Superpowers are the professional direction you chose. When it comes to employment, you just randomly send out resumes and forget all your advantages.”
"It's not that I've completely forgotten, it's just that I'm a little nervous." Yun Ce blushed, a little embarrassed: "Sometimes I just get flustered..."
"This is a problem of your teamwork. A team only needs one brain and one mouth. As long as you are not disabled or nervous, it will not cause any consequences."
Yun Ce: "..."
Although what he said made a lot of sense, for some reason, it felt like I was being scolded.
"Watch me now. There are eight of you now, which is considered top-tier. It would be too pathetic if you couldn't even last five minutes against a War Knight." Shi Yin clapped her hands and led the team forward.
Those who were criticized for being terrible shrank back like quails, not daring to breathe, and silently followed behind.
"However, I also bear some responsibility. I've been so busy for so long that I haven't paid attention to you all." Shi Yin said as she walked, "Although the country has specially assigned experts to study combat, they are, after all, laymen. They are more focused on helping you develop your superpowers."
The training exercise simulated a vast world, with endless jungles and grasslands. This large world was made up of different smaller worlds pieced together. They were lucky this time and were thrown into the forest.
Last time, Ye Shaoheng was thrown into the crater, and the spewing lava almost sent him flying out horizontally after he had just fallen in vertically.
"Each team is very evenly matched, with strong and weak members, but each one is useful. Too many strong members combined together is not necessarily the best approach."
Shi Yin extended a dagger from her right hand, which then appeared in her palm.
"For example, Daisy is a healer, Qian Feng is a concealer with some defensive effects, and like Gu Changge before, they should all be support. Humans and zombies are different. Zombies just need to charge, but humans have to think a lot more."
Qian Feng was a little touched that Shi Yin remembered his name. A group of studious adults followed behind Shi Yin and nodded obediently.
"You guys hide first, just keep watching."
After Shi Yin finished speaking, Qian Feng cupped his hands around his mouth and gently blew a breath.
His superpower is of the non-aggressive type. He manipulates flowing gas to adhere to objects, allowing him to assimilate with the surrounding gaseous atmosphere to mask his own aura. At the same time, the gas can form a protective film to protect the attached person's safety.
A thin film covered everyone, reducing visibility and making their voices muffled. While this level of concealment wasn't perfect, it was clearly sufficient for the training pod.
“I don’t need to say much about ordinary zombies and berserkers. Lurkers are similar to assassins in that they leave traces.” Shi Yin walked a distance ahead and used her dagger to clear away a patch of bushes. “Lurkers conceal themselves with light and color. They can’t be in open ground; they must have a place to hide.”
“Traces can determine the length of time since the departure, and conversely, calculate the distance and time of the infiltrator.”
Shi Yin stood still, holding the dagger, for about half a minute.
Half a minute later, the rustling of leaves in the wind suddenly became urgent. If someone with exceptional eyesight had superpowers, they would have been able to see that the scenery seemed to distort slightly.
However, Shi Yin's eyes sharpened, and she dodged away, hiding herself away smoothly throughout the entire process.
This infiltrator is considered one of the stronger types, and it should have undergone a second evolution.
The lurking creature arrived at the area where Shi Yin had just been, but looked bewildered. It clearly sensed that there was prey there, but when it arrived, it saw no one.
Shi Yin tightened her grip on the dagger, and as the opponent approached, she darted out like lightning. The simple, unadorned knife emitted a dazzling cold light under the simulated blue sky, stabbing at the lurking figure at a tricky angle.
The lurker reacted quickly; having undergone evolution, its strength was far beyond that of ordinary berserkers or manipulators, and it turned to dodge.
However, Shi Yin's move was too sudden. Even if the Lurker reacted quickly and dodged in time, it still managed to pierce its shoulder.
