Chapter 86 Strength

Zhou Qisheng was surprised and said, "Relinquish the position? That's a bit strange. It makes it sound like Li Yi cares a lot about your position as squad leader."

Fang Tao smiled bitterly and said, "Asheng, stop saying such sarcastic things."

"It's just a statement of fact. It's normal to be beaten if you fall behind."

Zhou Qisheng said, "Lao Fang, let's practice more later. I heard that Li Yi hasn't missed a single day of practice since he entered the special class."

Fang Tao sighed: "If it is possible, who wouldn't want to practice more? After all, after a day, the body and mind are exhausted too much, and there is no energy left to do anything else."

Gravity training varies from person to person, and the index is constantly adjusted.

But the overall design is that the stronger the person's physique, the higher the consumption.

Without proper rest, you will not be able to keep up with the pace.

As veterans in the special class, they knew this and that's why they didn't practice extra every day like Li Yi did.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Qisheng said, "Let's go get some advice. I heard that Li Yi's group has also started practicing with him, and they can actually persevere."

"Okay! It's time for this. Together?"

"No, I'll go."

…

Zhou Qisheng came to Li Yi and said with a smile:

"Li Yi, we've been in the same class for such a long time, but we haven't interacted much. I'm Zhou Qisheng, nice to meet you."

Li Yi replied, "Although we have never dealt with each other, I have often heard of you. I have long admired you."

Zhou Qisheng looks okay, with a feminine scholarly temperament and facial features. He has a strong and sturdy body and a friendly smile, which inexplicably gives people a very down-to-earth feeling.

At this moment, he smiled gently and said:

"I've been hanging out with Lao Fang, but I haven't been in touch with other small circles. This time I mainly want to discuss with you how you manage to practice every day without feeling tired."

Li Yi blinked and said:

"I don't know. I just practiced and slept like that. I didn't find it that difficult."

"Haha, Li Yi, you really know how to joke. I understand."

Zhou Qisheng smiled and said, "It's normal that some secrets are hard to tell others. I don't ask for too much, I just hope you can give me some pointers. This is a small request as a classmate and a future comrade-in-arms. I hope you can give me some appropriate advice that doesn't exceed your secret scope."

Li Yi raised his eyebrows and his eyes moved slightly.

This Zhou Qisheng is quite interesting.

His mannerisms, style, dialogue, and voice intonation are all the type that are not easily disliked.

The most important thing is to keep a low profile.

After thinking for a while, Li Yi said:

"Well, I also have a question for you. After you answer it, I will give you my answer based on the situation."

Zhou Qisheng smiled brightly: "I couldn't ask for more. Just ask."

Li Yi said:

"If there are fifteen sheep grazing on the mountain every day, the shepherd's task is to drive the sheep back to the sheepfold before sunset to prevent them from being killed by wild animals. On this day, the shepherd missed the deadline because he overslept, so he ran quickly."

"Halfway up the mountain, he found a passerby lying on the ground. The passerby was wearing a black down hat, a yellow leather coat, and long boots. There was a crack on the right front of his left boot, revealing festering flesh."

"At this time, a passerby stopped the shepherd boy and said, I stepped into a hunter's trap, save me, I can give you one thousand, no, ten thousand star coins!"

"If you were the shepherd boy at this moment, what would you say? Or what action would you take?"

Li Yi finished speaking this sentence at a very fast speed.

Zhou Qisheng was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Is this the question you want to ask?"

"Yes, this is a fable I often heard in the tree shed area of ​​the Mars base. It is very interesting. So, please answer it."

Zhou Qisheng fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, "If I were a shepherd boy, I would probably go to the mountain to drive the sheep first, and then go down the mountain to help passers-by."

Li Yi nodded slightly: "Explain your reasons."

Zhou Qisheng said: "Because the passerby only has festering wounds, but the shepherd's sheep may be killed by wild beasts at any time. Instead of relying on whether the passerby can give 10,000 star coins, it is better to hold on to what we have first."

Li Yi said: "Do you have anything else to add?"

Zhou Qisheng said: "No more."

Li Yi said:

"Then let me tell you the secret of my continued training. It's very simple, and that is to experience more high-intensity battles."

"Compared to gravity training, the biggest difference between high-intensity combat and strength training is the initiative. Therefore, high-intensity combat can further tap the potential of your body, and then allow you to get better rest efficiency when you rest."

"That's it, Zhou Qisheng. I still need to continue training."

After saying that, Li Yi signaled to Zhou Qisheng with his eyes that he could leave.

Zhou Qisheng said:

"One last question. Is my answer the best answer in your mind?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "It's medium level, not bad. The secrets I told you are all real. Of course, whether you can do it depends on whether you can persist."

Zhou Qisheng knew that he couldn't get the real secret by just a few words.

However, since Li Yi said it was of medium level and it is the real thing, that is enough.

In the absence of details, you have to figure it out on your own.

After all, everyone knows that high-intensity combat has a significant effect on improving combat power.

But how to reach Li Yi's level still requires a lot of time and effort to try and figure it out.

Li Yi watched Zhou Qisheng leave, and his evaluation of Zhou Qisheng went up a level.

Nothing else, because this is a cautious and intelligent man.

There are several ways to interpret his story, such as whether the passerby is reliable or even a good person, as well as the value of the sheep and the value assessment of 10,000 risk star coins, or whether the shepherd boy missed the time, and even some ways to have the best of both worlds.

Things like these can be discussed and questioned.

Zhou Qisheng obviously also saw many ways of interpretation, but he was not sure, so he gave one of the most common answers.

Therefore, Li Yi also gave his most common answer.

The most common does not mean bad, it just means not bad.

As for what Zhou Qisheng can learn from it, it depends on whether his cognition matches his choice.

…

afternoon.

After completing the mecha skills learning in virtual reality, it is time to study the subject.

Starting from the third week of virtual ruins exploration, Chen Qiongzhi gradually added subjects such as space exploration, cosmic biology, cosmic astronomy, and even mathematics and mechanics to everyone's virtual reality learning catalog.

These things should not be difficult given the strong physique of the evolvers.

But after all, a lot of the content is difficult and complicated, and the amount of content is large, so people still find it difficult to learn.

Therefore, this period of time is also called the devil's study time.

After the theoretical study, practical training will begin.

Li Yi's opponent today is Mo Longshan, who is ranked 15th in the class and a very low-key person.

Since the opponent was not very strong, Li Yi did not bring his Zanpakuto into the battle.

He guessed that Chen Qiongzhi knew that his strength was enough to crush the entire class, so he let him play the role of the big devil and create high-intensity and oppressive training for others.

Li Yi himself received high-intensity and stressful training from Chen Qiongzhi, forming a cycle.

Therefore, the practical training in the afternoon has become a rare time for him to relax in recent times.

Off the court.

Several groups that had completed the practical round sat aside and chatted.

Cai Xiaodong said: "I heard that due to the annihilation of the advance team, the exploration level of the ruins has been confirmed to be upgraded. Now, two main battleship-class large ships on the nearby route have modified their routes and are heading to the Tianshu ruins."

“By then, it is estimated that the three ships will jointly develop the Tianshu ruins.”

Tan Haoran said: "In fact, it's good to upgrade. With masters leading the way, we, the little soldiers, can also harvest and make some money. What's more, we have many first-mover advantages, and the big haul is definitely with us."

The pharmacist said:

"I've heard about it, too. It's said that the other two ships are Kuafu and Zhuri. These two ships are brothers. Their basic structure and design, as well as their internal personnel, are basically from the same source. Most of the population comes from the lunar base."

"A moon base?"

Cai Xiaodong was surprised and said, "How can such a small moon have so many people and support two fleets?"

The pharmacist said gently: "The moon is small, but the lunar base is not small. It is the first barrier of the human home planet."

Zhang Xuqiang nodded and said, "Indeed, the lunar base is essentially a space fortress built around the moon. It is densely populated and is said to support 700 million to 800 million people, which is half the number of people on Mars. It is terrifying."

Cai Xiaodong said: "Haha, if you calculate it this way, compared to you people from the solar system, we from Saitan are just like country people, right?"

Zheng Xueyuan said: "Saitan is not bad either. Our Zheng family has a large mining base there. I have been there for sightseeing. The scenery is pretty good and the ecology is great."

Cai Xiaodong said, "You are talking about something that happened a few years ago. In the past two years, the mechanical industry has expanded significantly on Saitan. Most of the planet has been transformed into large-scale mechanical factories, which are mass-producing 20-meter-class mechas and space starships."

"Has Setan transformed into a large-scale mechanical factory planet?"

A thoughtful look appeared in Yao Shiwan's eyes.

Cai Xiaodong said: "That's right. After all, there are all kinds of metal ores on Setan. It is said that a special metal element suspected to be the source of the shell material of the divine mecha has been discovered. It is precisely because of this that Setan has ushered in crazy investment from major financial groups."

While they were discussing, Li Yi had already easily defeated his opponent and continued practicing on the spot.

"Damn, Li Yi still doesn't plan to rest. Why don't we go practice more?"

"Let's go, let's stop chatting and start practicing."

Under Li Yi's leadership, the group members became more and more enthusiastic.

…

at the same time.

Three instructors from the special class are participating in an online meeting.

The participants included the captains of the mecha corps of the Kuafu, Zhuri and Yaochi ships, each captain, ideological and strategic guidance officers, tactical staff officers, technical and tactical training officers, special class training officers, and the advance team members of the Kuafu and Zhuri ships who had already rushed to the Tianshu ruins in advance.

There were more than ninety people in total, all wearing white uniforms with red edges, projected onto the conference room, packed together.

The three captains who presided over the meeting sat at the podium in the conference room, namely Teng Baixin of the Yaochi ship, Zhang Pengting of the Kuafu ship, and Lin Zhiyuan of the Zhuri ship.

In the front row are the captains and ideological and strategic advisors.

The second row is composed of tactical staff officers and technical and tactical training officers.

The third row is filled with nine instructors from nine special classes. Among them, Chen Qiongzhi’s seat is in the middle. On her left is Zhang Guanlin, the instructor of the Kuafu ship, and on her right is Lin Huiyi, the instructor of the Zhuri ship.

Coincidentally, Zhang Guanlin is the son of Zhang Pengting, and Lin Huiyi is the daughter of Lin Zhiyuan.

At this moment, the meeting was engulfed in debate.

The main representatives of the three parties in the debate are basically the captains of each team.

Among them, Lin Guotao is naturally among them.

However, he has kept a low profile and has not participated much in the debate.

At this moment, I heard the captain of the Yaochi Fleet's standing team slam the table and say:

"The Yao Chi ship has already discovered enough important intelligence and should be fully responsible for leading this exploration!"

"Haha, you have suffered a lot of casualties, which clearly shows that the command is inappropriate. I think this time, our Kuafu ship should take the lead!"

"No, none of you can do it. Our Sun Chaser is strong and capable, and has many successful experiences. We should let the Sun Chaser do it."

As time went by, it became a matter of bickering.

Chen Qiongzhi knew that this was just a daily formality.

Before reaching a conclusion, the interests that should be fought for and the positions that should be stated must be discussed this way.

In fact, the three captains have basically discussed the general policy. The real purpose of holding this meeting now is to unify their positions.

At the same time, we also listen to the real thoughts of front-line business backbones.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

When the meeting time is almost up, the three captains will make their final comments and give their conclusions.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that the people below cannot change the will of those above.

If someone comes up with a better idea and strategy, or similar evidence, that can change.

However, the direction of this incident was basically beyond the expectations of the three.

About half an hour later, Teng Baixin spoke up and made the final decision: "The discussion agenda is almost over. Let me talk about a few key points."

“It’s about which side is in control and the division of interests.”

"First of all, excluding the advance team that has already arrived, the maximum number of divine mechas expected to enter this exploration team is 80."

"Among them, 10 divine mechas must be stationed in the first level to search and collect all the clues reported previously, collect relevant information, and guard against other accidents, and also prevent exceeding the number limit set in the second level."

"At the second and third levels, 10 divine mechas must be stationed at each level."

"For the fourth level, 30 divine mechas must be stationed there."

"For the fifth level, 20 divine mechas must be stationed there."

"As for whether there is a sixth level, we still need to investigate the situation based on the mecha team of the fifth level."

"Regarding the question of command, each level will be commanded by the captains or the instructors of the selected classes."

"Due to the carrying capacity of the ruins, they must be released one level at a time."

"For example, when the first group enters the second level, the second group can be deployed; when the first group enters the third level, the second group enters the second level, the third group can be deployed, and so on."

"Therefore, the first group must be composed of elites among the elites, and must be well-deserved strong men among the middle-level mecha masters to be qualified."

"The second group must also be strict and must be the best among the beginner mecha masters to be qualified."

"In addition, in addition to the five large exploration groups, there will be 2 to 3 mobile groups, each with a limit of 15 units and a minimum of 6 people, who can explore freely."

"Therefore, the next topic is the recommendation and selection of personnel for the five exploration teams and the two mobile teams."

“Please all frontline managers submit a list of recommendations and provide detailed reasons for the recommendations.”

“Afterwards, we will conduct a final review and confirmation.”

Hearing this, Chen Qiongzhi's heart moved slightly.

Beside him, Lin Huiyi, a girl with peach blossom eyes, fair cheeks and beautiful temperament, looked over and said with a smile: "Qiong Zhi, it seems that you have recommended candidates? It won't be the Li Yi team that is currently in the limelight over there? Do you plan to recommend them as the mobile team or the exploration team?"

Chen Qiongzhi was surprised:

"You are well-informed. You even know a lot about our special class."

Lin Huiyi smiled and said, "You are in the special class, and there are two of my distant cousins ​​and one of my distant cousins. Although we are not very familiar with each other, now that we know we will be interacting with you, we will definitely become familiar with each other."

Chen Qiongzhi's heart was slightly moved, and she said, "Lin Susu, Lin Hua, and Lin Wendong?"

Lin Huiyi smiled and said, "That's right. Lin Susu is quite capable, so she should be on your recommendation list, right? The other two are still young, so they probably don't have to worry about it this time."

Chen Qiongzhi observed Lin Huiyi's expression and said thoughtfully:

"It seems that you have already learned from Captain Lin how to confirm the final list in advance?"

Lin Huiyi nodded, smiled charmingly, and said, "That's right, if you want to know, I'll tell you."

"No need, I just need to recommend someone I think is suitable."

Chen Qiongzhi smiled faintly and refused to be fooled by the other party.

In her experience, the more Lin Huiyi smiles at someone, the more she wants to deceive that person.

Lin Huiyi said regretfully: "That's a pity. I wanted to join forces with you and take the two mobile team spots together."

Chen Qiongzhi glanced at the other party, thought for a moment, and said:

"Tell me about your plan first, and if it's suitable, we'll consider joining forces."

…

After today's extra training, Li Yi unexpectedly met Lin Guotao.

"Sir, how come you have time to come here so late?"

Lin Guotao smiled and said, "We had a very troublesome meeting today, which has nothing to do with me. But during the meeting, I actually heard some things about you, so I just wanted to come and see how your soul is growing, and give you a reminder."

"Thank you for your hard work, sir."

"It's a small problem. I have less things to worry about now, and I don't need to intervene in the cult issue for the time being, so I have quite some free time now."

Lin Guotao's condition was indeed much better than the previous times Li Yi saw him.

The most typical one is the mental state.

The anxiety I had before couldn’t be hidden.

As he spoke, Lin Guotao sat down on the ground, then gestured to Li Yi, "Come and sit over here. I brought a soul strength tester this time, which can test the specific values ​​for you. This way, you can record it once a week to determine exactly how much of the divine gene share you can accommodate."

As he spoke, he took out something from his pocket that looked very much like an old film camera.

"Would it be convenient for me to take a look?"

Li Yi looked at it with curiosity.

"Just look around and don't press any of the buttons. Each press costs 200,000 star coins."

Damn it.

Li Yi's eyebrows jumped, and his fingers immediately grasped the base.

It’s not that he doesn’t have money now, but one device costs 200,000 yuan per press, and he doesn’t want to pay this money in vain.

"Sir, you don't look like you're joking."

"Of course, the shell of this thing is not expensive, but the things inside are very valuable. You have to understand that in this world, everything related to the soul is priceless."

“I understand.”

Li Yi nodded and said, "But is it necessary to spend 200,000 yuan to test the strength of the soul?"

Lin Guotao smiled and said, "Of course it is necessary. Think about it, you are about to generate a new divine gene in your body, but your soul strength is not up to standard. Guess what will happen?"

Li Yi pondered: "Generation failed?"

Lin Guotao said:

"The least severe consequence is the failure of the gene sequence to generate. The worst possible consequence is that the gene sequence will collapse directly, and your body functions will be adversely affected. If you are unlucky, the gene sequence happens to control the most critical physiological function in your body, and you may even die directly."

Li Yi said thoughtfully: "It seems to be true."

Lin Guotao said: "If you take the pure route, you basically don't have to worry about insufficient soul strength, but you are now taking the route of composite radiation, which is generated very quickly, and you will face similar problems sooner or later."

As he said that, Lin Guotao aimed at Li Yi and slapped him directly.

There was a sudden flash of white light.

With a click.

Then, Lin Guotao took out the film from the camera, looked at it for a few seconds, and suddenly showed a strange look: "Did the measurement go wrong? Why is your soul strength so high?"

Li Yiqi asked: "How high?"

Lin Guotao thought for a moment and said, "There are 28 units in total, which means that your current divine gene growth limit is very likely 28."

Li Yi frowned and said, "Only 28 pieces, how can that be considered high?"

Lin Guotao was speechless: "The average evolver has 9 units, and you have more than three times as many as others. How can that not be considered high? Very high, okay?"

Li Yi originally thought that he had absorbed so many memories, and with the self-strengthening of his mental steel pillar, his strength should be at least seven or eight times, if not ten times that of an ordinary person.

That’s it?

Or is it that the growth of soul strength is also the type that becomes increasingly difficult? Lin Guotao rubbed his eyebrows:

"Are you really dissatisfied with this number?"

"Let me put it this way. At the initial stage of evolution, your foundation is already stronger than Zhang Shengfeng's."

"At the beginning, Zhang Shengfeng reached 15 in the initial stage of evolution. He was already known as a genius among geniuses and successfully promoted to the heavenly level."

"Although this foundation is good, it does not mean that you will be able to successfully advance to the Heavenly Rank in the future. After all, there are still many difficulties to overcome. But at least, in this aspect, you are better than Zhang Shengfeng."

Li Yi said: "Well, I was just a little surprised that the improvement given to me by the Thought Steel Pillar was so great that it was only three times higher than that of an ordinary person."

Lin Guotao smiled bitterly and said:

"Do you think the improvement of the soul is to do addition? In fact, it is to do calculus, to improve little by little, to approach the limit little by little, and then break through."

Li Yi nodded and said, "If the soul enhancement is a calculus-like enhancement, then it is indeed getting slower and slower."

Lin Guotao said: "In short, remember to keep this matter confidential. Regarding your soul strength, I will apply to increase the confidentiality level by two more levels to prevent someone from targeting you."

"Don't worry, instructor. I'm not good at anything else except being a riddle teller."

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on, I'm very confident in your style of doing things."

Lin Guotao said: "From now on, you must come to me for a test every month to prevent the sudden explosive growth of the divine gene and break through the limit of soul strength. That would be troublesome."

"Explosive growth? Is that possible?"

"Of course it's possible, but the probability is very small. If you are interested, you can check it on the intranet. I can't explain it in detail here."

"Well, didn't the commander say there was something else he wanted to remind me of?"

"Look at my memory. I almost forgot it."

Lin Guotao patted his forehead, his expression turning serious: "Your ability in conquering ruins has been unanimously praised and recognized by the three special class instructors, even Captain Teng praised you highly."

"And the headquarters is also interested in arranging a field commander and a field staff officer. This is a good opportunity. If your strength continues to improve during this period, you can consider competing for the position of field staff officer."

"Field staff officer?"

Li Yi was surprised.

Lin Guotao said: "Yes, this is a good opportunity for you to build your resume. The on-site commander has a big responsibility, but the staff officer is easier. The responsibility can be light or heavy, and the strength requirement is not too high. The most important thing is that you can still have a certain say!"

"Having these will be of great benefit to your on-site exploration and subsequent development!"
