Chapter 66 Mental Power Harvesting 7
Chapter Sixty-Six
The further the car drove, the lower the temperature felt to Lin Xia, and the scenery outside the window gradually turned into a snowy landscape.
"The city of superhumans is in the Arctic. After the disaster, the environment here is even harsher. Superhumans have been modified so they can adapt to this place, but ordinary people can't," Qiao Qiao explained.
"Yeah, otherwise why would they have given up on this place so quickly?" the girl with the high ponytail said sarcastically.
Soon, we entered the city. The houses here are very unique. From the outside, they are all made of ice and snow, even the high-rise buildings.
"It's quite unique, isn't it? This place was built by people with superpowers using advanced technology. Don't worry, it's very stable and won't collapse." The boy relaxed as soon as he returned and seemed much more cheerful: "My name is Shen Jiahang. You can ask me to be your tour guide when you have time."
The girl with the high ponytail rolled her eyes: "They don't have time. They're busy as hell every day. They can't slack off. They don't even come out on holidays."
“Don’t mind her, her brother is in there too. He used to have a week off, but he’s been in there for a month and only gets out once a month. She’s very resentful.” Qiao Qiao explained, “Her name is Xu La, and her brother’s name is Xu Yue. You should be able to see him when you go in.”
Lin Xia nodded. This was the first time she had ever seriously encountered a social situation in the game world, and judging from their attitudes, it seemed that mentalists really had no problems with being there.
"I am Lin Xia." It wasn't that she had to give her real name, but her communication terminal displayed her real name, and even if she didn't say it, they probably already knew.
This is also strange, why is it showing my real name... But luckily I'm the only player here, no other players will know.
Lin Xia listened to Qiao Qiao and Shen Jiahang's introduction and followed the young man in front of her. The place was very large, and it took them more than 20 minutes to reach a park. The young man operated the equipment for a while before leading the group forward.
Inside, it was almost deserted and very spacious. After walking for a while, a figure appeared ahead. Xu La suddenly called out, "Brother!" and ran ahead, grabbing the person's sleeve: "Are you out to pick someone up?"
Xu Yue tugged at Xu La's hair: "Yes, you've been gone for so long, Mom was very worried, and so was I."
Xu La's face lit up with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, I'm fine. When are you coming home? How about tomorrow?"
Xu Yue thought for a moment and said, "The day after tomorrow, I'll go back to see you the day after tomorrow morning."
Xu La jumped up excitedly: "Yay, you can't forget!"
Xu Yue looked at Lin Xia who was walking over and said, "Lin Xia, hello, I'm Xu Yue. I'm here to take you to the mental power training base."
Lin Xia followed Xu Yue into the elevator and walked down to the ground. As soon as the elevator doors opened, a wave of people rushed towards them.
The people here chat and laugh, play and joke around, while others hurry by with serious expressions. But compared to people outside, the people here are more vibrant.
Xu Yue smiled and said, "Surprised? Come on, let's go to the testing area to test your mental strength first."
"It's very free here, but few people are willing to leave. It's such a rare thing to be able to improve one's mental strength. Nobody wants to fall behind others, and our compatriots can't stand the torment of nightmares every night."
"I'm very happy to have new people joining us, which increases our chances of winning even more." Xu Yue is a very talkative, enthusiastic and cheerful person who makes it easy for people to let their guard down.
"This is a training ground, specifically for physical training. You know, if your physical strength isn't high enough, you can't hold much mental energy. This body-strengthening method is called the Starfire Body-Strengthening Method. It's extremely efficient. You'll understand once you try it."
"Everyone is working very hard. Some people even turn off their nightmare blockers at night to strengthen their willpower. There are so many tough people; you can't afford not to work hard."
"Alright, you can go in now. My mission is complete. Someone will guide you once you're inside." Xu Yue waved his hand and quickly ran towards the training ground. It seemed that he wouldn't have left at all if his sister hadn't been there to help him.
A glimmer of hope rose in Lin Xia's heart; perhaps these people had already overcome the difficulties she was facing.
Upon entering the testing room, she found a middle-aged woman waiting for her. The woman was slightly plump and had a warm smile: "Are you Lin Xia? Come on, take the test. Don't worry, there's no danger."
Lin Xia saw several people inside taking tests; some were happy, others were frustrated, and she certainly didn't see any danger.
She lay down in the cabin and heard the slightly plump woman's voice: "Relax, use your mental power to hit the ball you are looking at, hit it into the red circle, until you can't hit it anymore."
"How much mental strength can be measured?"
"This won't work; it can only test the compatibility between your mental strength and your physical constitution."
Lin Xia nodded, not holding back during the test, since the activity level of mental energy should be detectable.
When she came out, the slightly plump woman was full of surprise: "Your control over your mental power is almost perfect, it's amazing."
"Your dormitory access control has been entered into your terminal. Just go there directly. The training plan will also be sent over in ten minutes. Just start training. Add me as a friend. You can contact me if you need anything."
Lin Xia went back to the dormitory and looked around. The living facilities and daily necessities were all complete. She turned on the faucet and there was water.
Shortly after, the training plan was sent over. Lin Xia's physical and mental strength were in perfect balance, so she could immediately begin exercising her body and then improving her mental strength.
Lin Xia was very curious about the 'Spark Body Tempering Method' that could quickly improve physical strength, so she immediately opened the door and walked towards the training ground.
She first went to the training room, where there was a machine. Lin Xia stood in the designated position and followed the movements shown on the screen in front of her.
The machine would constantly remind Lin Xia of her mistakes. These postures were quite awkward, but Lin Xia was in good physical condition and had great flexibility, so she quickly learned the first movement.
As she assumed her first pose, a surge of warm energy arose from within, gradually spreading throughout her body, causing all her joints to crackle. The heat quickly lost its effect, but it continued to nourish her body.
Lin Xia was shocked; her physique had actually increased by 1 point!
Her heart pounded; it was simply unbelievable. She couldn't wait to begin learning the next move.
In one night, Lin Xia watched and memorized the key points and difficulties of the twelve movements, imprinting them firmly in her mind.
Then she began to correct each movement one by one, but the movements became more and more difficult. Lin Xia could only perform the first three movements accurately. As her body generated more and more energy, her physical condition increased by 6 points in one day.
At 8 p.m. on the eighth day, there was a knock on the door. It was Xu Yue: "You need to balance work and rest. Don't push yourself too hard. Don't you want to try a method to improve your mental strength?"
Lin Xia nodded, quickly took a shower, and followed Xu Yue to the mental training room.
