Chapter 10



[Beep, training is over.]

[Students Gu Qiongsheng and Zhou Qing's training duration: 8 minutes.]

The two-player mode is much more difficult than single-player combat. It is also the first time for Gu Qiongsheng and Zhou Qing to cooperate in combat, so it is inevitable that they may not be able to get along well.

In addition, Gu Qiongsheng’s blue bar was used up.

Small healing is a single-target healing spell, which needs to heal both himself and Zhou Qing, and seems a bit overwhelmed in two-player mode.

So in the fourth round, one of them was blown off the cliff by the giant insect's blade, and the other was hit by the magma gushing out from the ground.

Killed in one move, both logged out.

But having achieved this on her first try, Gu Qiongsheng was already quite satisfied. As the simulator popped out, she removed the controller, breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked at the system panel with an excited curl of her lips.

A long string of notifications flashed across the panel: Experience +100, +50, +100...

[Current character level: LV2]

[Experience required for upgrading: 1800/3000]

Sure enough, forming a team can help her gain more experience!

In this way, it is expected that she will be able to raise her character level to LV4 in seven days at most. At that time, with 3 skill points in hand, she can learn the next skill.

The skill points required for characters to learn skills in the game gradually increase, from 1 point at the beginning, to 3 points, 5 points, 8 points later... However, the skills that can be learned will become more and more powerful, and multiple choices will be opened one by one.

It’s really... making people look forward to it!

After happily closing the system panel, Gu Qiongsheng stretched and sat up from the simulation cabin.

A thin figure suddenly rushed over from the side, tears welling in her delicate eyes, and joy spreading to the corners of her eyes and eyebrows: "Sister Qiongsheng!"

Gu Qiongsheng was caught off guard and fell back into the simulator. She looked at Zhou Qing, who was trembling with excitement, and shook her head, patting her shoulder. "Okay, this is just the beginning."

"…I'm sorry, I-I was too excited."

Zhou Qing hurriedly stood up and asked Gu Qiongsheng to come out of the simulation cabin.

Boiling blood rushed through her body like crazy, her heartbeat was deafening. Zhou Qing tightly grasped the edge of the simulation chamber, staring at Gu Qiongsheng without blinking: "Sister Qiongsheng, are you a therapist?"

Gu Qiongsheng tilted his head.

"I guess so."

Zhou Qing's breathing paused for a moment. "But I heard that the therapists are useless and can't provide any good treatment results. Why..."

Um?

Gu Qiongsheng instantly became interested.

She turned around, her eyes lighting up: "Can you elaborate?"

Since the emergence of psychic warriors, the Federation has never stopped its research on psychic power.

But this thing is so mysterious that countless scientists have studied it over and over again but have yet to figure it out.

Mental power and the brain waves that connect to the star network are somewhat similar, but in-depth research can reveal essential differences. Therefore, the Federation's research on the essence of mental power still remains at the level of speculation.

However, speculation is speculation, which does not affect scientists' discovery of a number of natural substances that can nourish and stimulate mental power through repeated trial and error, and thus create a series of medicines including awakening potions.

"Current speculation is mainly divided into three schools. The first is gene flow, mainly led by several leading figures in the field of biology. They believe that the "useless genes" in human DNA are the key to whether or not spiritual power is generated."

"The second is particle flow, which believes that brain wave activity releases a special type of unknown particle like a storm. These particles entangle and combine to form our mental power."

"These two theories each hold half the market share, and neither side is convinced by the other, and they have been fighting secretly. However, neither theory can reasonably explain the problems that therapists encounter."

"The only relatively reasonable explanation is the third school of thought."

"Metaphysical school, also known as soul school."

Gu Qiongsheng nodded as he listened.

Before, she might have been more inclined to gene flow or particle flow, because they sounded more scientific. As for soul flow, what the hell was that? It sounded like a fabrication.

But now, Gu Qiongsheng has traveled through time.

The scientific views of the previous life were torn to pieces.

She now had to admit that souls might really exist in the world.

It’s not that the existence of the soul goes against the technological line, but that human technology has not yet advanced to that level, and the many mysteries of the soul have not been completely solved.

"I can't believe you know so much."

Gu Qiongsheng smiled jokingly at Zhou Qing: "And then, how about the Soul Flow?"

Zhou Qing blushed slightly. "Before... I thought becoming a warrior was impossible. I considered becoming a healer, so I researched it. But I eventually gave up. Even though healers aren't popular, the requirements for becoming one are hundreds, even thousands, of times more demanding than becoming a warrior."

She sighed softly.

"First, if we acknowledge that spiritual power is part of the human soul, then everyone's spiritual power is unique, because the soul cannot be copied or divided."

"As an individual, it undoubtedly has uniqueness and exclusivity. Solo combat involves each person using their own mental power, while team combat involves a combination of individual combat power and mental power. However, healing involves dispersing and fragmenting one's own mental power, transferring it into the mental power of others."

"You can have two people stand in front of each other, side by side, or even have one person stand on the other's head, stepping on their shoulders. But how can you make their souls merge together?"

Having said that, Zhou Qing shook her head.

"So, to become a healer, one must possess a strong affinity for spiritual power. Just like a blood transfusion, one must ensure that the healer's blood is not rejected by the warriors when it is transfused into their bodies."

"This brings up a new problem. The stronger a person is, the more concentrated their spiritual power is, and the more difficult it is to disperse it."

"At level B and above, each person's spiritual power will evolve into different characteristics. If this spiritual power with characteristics is transmitted to other people's bodies, it will be rejected in a matter of minutes, just like an immune response."

"That's why people who are too strong can't be healers."

"But for those who are too weak, the amount of treatment is limited."

"Plus, healing is essentially like crushing your mental strength and forcing it into someone else's soul. This process is extremely painful for both the healer and the healer. Therefore, many warriors whose mental strength is damaged would rather endure it and slowly recover on their own than seek help from a healer."

"The profession of therapist is becoming increasingly awkward."

"The reason I gave up on this direction was, on the one hand, because I wasn't sure about my mental affinity, and on the other hand, because there was a rumor that the Logistics Department of the War College planned to abolish the therapy class in the next few years."

Gu Qiongsheng was slightly stunned: "Well, do you want to ban it?"

Zhou Qing lowered her eyes with a blush, "It's just a rumor. I don't know if it's true or not."

As she spoke, she raised her head again, her fiery gaze fixed on Gu Qiongsheng. "But Sister Qiongsheng, your treatment is completely different from what's been rumored. I feel... it's really super comfortable, and the recovery is super fast!"

After a few seconds, her mental strength quickly increased!

"That's amazing! If this is what a real therapist is like, I'm definitely going to love therapy... No, that's not right. I've already fallen in love with therapy!"

The overflowing feeling of happiness and the ultimate enjoyment of soaking the whole body in warm water are just like having a super refreshing top-level SPA, with your feet swinging leisurely and stepping on the clouds.

Zhou Qing still felt refreshed when she recalled it.

And the growth of mental strength is also real.

She remembered that there was a saying in the soul flow that everyone's mental potential was actually unlimited, but there was a valve, or bottleneck, in everyone's body. The reason for the difference between F grade and S grade was because the bottleneck limited the amount of overflowing mental power.

But every time you exhaust your mental energy, it hits the bottleneck.

When the mental power is exhausted, the bottleneck will be violently knocked open a small hole. If a large amount of mental power can be used to fill it at this time, the hole will not be restored, and the person's mental power limit can also be slightly improved.

The problem is that few people have a way to quickly replenish their mental strength.

Very few wealthy families can afford to spend a lot of money to buy supplements for their children, but those medicines are military-controlled products and are in short supply. When a few of them accidentally end up on the black market, each one can be sold at a sky-high price.

Others had no choice but to accept the fact that the bottleneck was gradually recovering amidst the pain of mental exhaustion.

but……

Zhou Qing secretly glanced at Gu Qiongsheng again.

The opponent's recovery speed is too fast, which fully meets the experimental conditions of the "bottleneck hypothesis". If she can train with Gu Qiongsheng every day, wouldn't her unshakable F-level also be able to usher in spring?

When Zhou Qing thought of this, she trembled with excitement.

"Sister Jonson," she said, her voice filled with warmth, gratitude, and sincerity, "what should we do next?"

She can practice more!

She can beat ten!

Gu Qiongsheng, however, looked thoughtful.

"The next class is 'Star Wars Weapons'. I remember today's class is dedicated to star destroyer cannons." Gu Qiongsheng propped up his chin curiously. "It's very interesting. Let's go back to class."

Zhou Qing: “???”

Gu Qiongsheng smiled slightly.

"If you want to take the Alliance Exam, training is important, but you can't neglect your academic studies either."

She wants to let those troublemakers in Class F see clearly what a decathlon is!

The author has something to say:

Come on, all the cute college entrance exam takers! You should get all the answers right!
