Chapter 103 The War of Civilizations 3
Lin Xia glanced at her attribute values. Her mental strength had actually increased by 4 points. Although it wasn't much, it was still very gratifying. Most importantly, her control over her mental strength was now completely different from before.
"My mental strength has increased by 2 points!" Xie Cheng was invigorated, but his expression still showed anxiety.
"Seventh Sister, this mental power is too difficult to control, not to mention the mecha. How can you possibly control something you've never touched before in just one day? Going to the battlefield would be like sending yourself to your death." Xie Cheng didn't expect it to be even worse than he thought.
"I thought I had mastered the control of my superpowers, but I never imagined that I could manipulate my mental power so precisely. If I could train here every day, I think I could beat two of my former selves!" Ji Wei said, then wilted again. That was impossible.
Atong glanced at the group and said softly, "Let's go back first. I have something to show you."
The group exchanged glances and quickly went to Lin Xia's room. The room was small, and you could see from one end to the other at a glance. Lin Xia scanned the room with her spiritual power and signaled to A Tong that she could speak.
"Look at this." Atong took out a prop.
[Virtual Training Ground: A time-frozen space that can create a training ground in the void. Training equipment can be specified, but it must be something you have seen before. It can be used by up to five people. Training duration: 24 hours. Training attempts: 1. Note: Only usable in this game session.]
Backup successful: Backup of virtual training ground *1, survival points required: 5000
"I can't believe there's such a prop!" Ji Wei exclaimed with delight. She rummaged through her inventory: "What should I do? I don't have anything that matches..."
A-Tong smiled and looked down at Ji Wei, her face beaming with satisfaction: "Now that I've brought it out, I naturally want to share it with you all. You know, the strength of my teammates is also a matter of life and death for me."
"No, no, no, I will give you a reward, but I've never really drawn anything really good. You can choose one later." Xie Cheng was also pleasantly surprised.
“This way, we’ll have an extra day, which is perfect for training the mechs. What do you guys think?” Xie Cheng said as he took out some props.
Ji Wei nodded and began searching through the space.
"What a coincidence, I have the same prop too. Now I have an extra 48 hours. I should be able to control the mecha without any problems, right?" Lin Xia held the same prop in her hand and looked at the three of them with a smile on her face.
She had seen many of Lin Yi's analysis posts, and everyone's creative ideas and guesses. She had to admit, they were really impressive, and some of their guesses were even more impressive than her own talent.
At this point, she no longer cared whether others knew anything; her strength made her fearless of anyone or anything.
However, looking at these people, she realized that perhaps she needed some people she could trust, or rather, some people with good character.
Even if she is stronger than others, as long as she can't get past the 999 barrier, there is always a risk of being overtaken. She needs to plan ahead.
Maybe one day she'll need these people to do something else, who knows?
Ji Wei looked at Lin Xia, her eyes shining, and said cheerfully, "Seventh Sister, I'll give you something good when I have it."
She glanced at Ah Tong, then stopped searching: "Sister Tong too, I'm so lucky, let's add each other as friends."
A smile appeared in A-Tong's eyes as she nodded and said, "No need to give me anything. We need to support each other on the battlefield. We might even need you to save our lives."
Xie Cheng blushed slightly. He really didn't have anything good to offer and was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, his bronze skin made it hard to see clearly. Then, as if remembering something, his eyes lit up: "By the way, I can enhance your mechs. My metal-type ability enhancement is pretty good."
"Okay, my wood-type ability seems to be of little use in space." A-Tong nodded with a smile. So it turns out that not everyone in the game is a bastard who wants to take advantage.
"My water-based ability doesn't seem to be very useful either. Let's play it by ear." Ji Wei also explained his ability with a smile.
A-Tong glanced at the prop in Lin Xia's hand. In the chat channel, there were many analyses of Lin Xia's cheat ability. Copying was the most widely accepted method, but plundering was also widely recognized.
At this point, if it wasn't a coincidence that we drew the same item, then it certainly wasn't plunder.
People are grateful for or wary of Lin Xia's body-strengthening methods, but they also covet her abilities.
Seeing Ji Wei and Xie Cheng's trust in Lin Xia, and thinking about their teamwork in that game, I finally felt much more relaxed.
Seeing that everyone was getting to know each other, Lin Xia smiled and urged them to hurry up and go back to sleep: "Alright, there are only three hours left, go back to sleep quickly."
They felt much better after a good night's sleep. They first spent some time in the training cabin getting used to operating the military mechs before heading to the training ground.
Upon arriving at the new training ground, the rows of mechs were breathtaking, with sleek lines and superb texture.
[Backup successful: Backup of Military Mech S-763 *1, requires 5000 Survival Points]
When Lin Xia jumped into the cabin, she also felt her blood boiling. She calmed down and inserted her mental energy into the mental energy interface.
Because the war was waged by a mechanical civilization, all the mechs were operated entirely by mental power and manual means, with all intelligent systems eliminated.
As soon as Lin Xia's mental energy connected, she sensed the entire body of the mecha. After adapting for a while, she took a step with her left foot, but the step was too big. Although she managed to stand firmly, it wasn't the size of the step she wanted.
She steadied herself and calculated the relationship between the amount of energy required to control the mecha with her mental power and the mecha's movements. She tried each movement once before she understood them all.
With the instructors' roars in her ears and the crooked mechs before her eyes, Lin Xia felt a little worried, but there was no point in thinking about it now. She focused on training, and gradually her mental strength and the mechs became more and more compatible.
Half a day later, Lin Xia finally understood why, during the introduction in the training cabin, each mecha operator was told that their service period was five years, after which they would be forced to retire.
When a person's mental energy is connected to the mecha for a long time and they become accustomed to operating the mecha, they may gradually experience confusion in their consciousness, a confusion between their body and the mecha. Over time, they may develop a stronger sense of identification with the mecha than with their own body.
After all, mechs are much more powerful than the human body. Once a person becomes dependent on them, even if they return to their body, they may have illusions and lose their sense of reality.
The higher the level of mental strength, the more precise the operation, and the stronger this sense of dislocation.
After thinking it through, Lin Xia became secretly vigilant. Although it was only ten days, she had never been in contact with a mecha before, so she had to activate the anti-addiction system herself.
She shared these thoughts in the group chat, and everyone could only manage a wry smile.
"Seventh Sister, you need to prevent addiction, but we need to be more immersed. Who can understand the pain of suddenly not being able to walk properly..." Ji Wei smiled bitterly.
"But Seventh Sister is right. If we focus on training, we'll get the hang of it eventually. Let's do it!" Xie Cheng encouraged him.
"It's really difficult," A-Tong said, frowning.
"Everyone hurry up, or you might have to leave the team," Lin Xia reminded them.
The three of them felt a chill run down their spines and immediately focused on their training.
