18: Chapter 18 What Use Are You to Me? 18: Chapter 18 What Use Are You to Me? Chang Ye’s gaze fell upon the coffee table, where there had just been a little bottle – her latest research creation, “S13”, which was now missing. Someone grumpy had taken it away... On the training ground, Lin Xiaosu maintained a very arrogant pose for about ten seconds. This pose was the final shot that explosively took out Xinyue. Did he think this pose was pretty good and flashy? Nonsense! His waist had just twisted! This body really couldn’t keep up with his reflex speed and the standards of his eyesight... Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye, insights into the smallest detail, no matter how complex the environment, he could see through everything at a glance. Human Tao Orchid Heart, analyzation and integration, were comparable to the most complex computer; these two aspects were why his special combat directly penetrated through everything. However, this body was way too poor. Couldn’t keep up with the reflex speed at all. The recent fierce interaction had resulted in a twisted waist, which was somewhat embarrassing... Hopefully, no one saw it. Lin Xiaosu left the firearms area and returned to his room. Assistant little Luo came running over, expressing his concern with warmth: “Sir, what’s wrong?” “My waist is twisted... do you have any methods for treating injuries?” Lin Xiaosu lay down on the sofa. Little Luo smiled brightly: “I can use electrotherapy and acupuncture, it only takes ten seconds to restore you back to normal, this is the medicinal skill of our Daxia ancestors.” “That’s great, treat me then.” Little Luo said, “Sorry sir, you have not unlocked this permission yet.” Lin Xiaosu glared at her: “So, what you can do as an assistant right now is to talk beside your injured boss and do nothing?” “I can sing a song to ease your pain,” little Luo said. “Go ahead, sing ‘What Use Do I Have for You’...” As the sun set, Lin Xiaosu experienced his first night since entering 101. After dinner, he held his waist and strolled by the small lake, where he encountered Zhou Zhen. Zhou Zhen looked at him surprised: “Little Su, have you unlocked your assistant’s ultimate function?” “What ultimate function?” Zhou Zhen blinked and said: “She’s a simulated human, you know what the ultimate function is...” Damn! Lin Xiaosu got it... But I’m innocent, my assistant adheres to principles very strongly, she could have done acupuncture and electrotherapy but did nothing instead, and you think I activated her ultimate function? Was I supporting my waist because I feel weak? You’re still a Red Hacker, huh? Not afraid of turning yourself into a “Yellow Hacker” with all these frivolous thoughts? Considering that getting injured during training isn’t something honorable, Lin Xiaosu didn’t mention it any further, the two simply chatted for a bit and then went back to rest. Luckily, his waist pain had gradually eased by the next morning. Lin Xiaosu did a set of warm-ups and then went to the firearms area again. This time, he targeted various vehicles. Vehicles also belong to equipment, and they are the profound kind. Qianlong often goes on missions, inevitably using transportation, so driving is an essential skill. Lin Xiaosu didn’t have a driver’s license, and he hadn’t even known how to drive before. Not many college graduates can’t drive, but unfortunately, he was one of them. Why? Lin Xiaosu glanced at his family’s brick house, looked at the vegetables his mom planted, and figured he probably couldn’t afford a car in the short term, so he gave up on learning how to drive, but now, isn’t this an opportunity? Can’t drive in real life, but can in the game, not just driving but also flying. Yes, Qianlong’s training system is too powerful. You get into any car, everything outside completely changes. The car doesn’t actually move, but once you get in, various scenes are simulated outside. What’s the most awesome part? Every control you make, you get a genuine visual, tactile, sensory experience. Passing a bump, the car jolts. Speeding on an incline, you feel a sense of weightlessness. If the car flips, even doing several 360 degrees in the air, the car under your butt actually flips too! That’s to say, sitting in the cockpit, there’s no difference from you driving on various complicated roads. Lin Xiaosu’s learning ability was incredibly strong. In just half an hour, he was driving like an old driver. An hour later, entering a highway with numerous other cars. Suddenly, from one of the cars, a window opened, revealing a dark muzzle pointed at him... Lin Xiaosu was slightly taken aback, he slammed on the brakes... The car in front sped past, and the muzzle quickly turned... Lin Xiaosu’s hand extended, and the pistol fell into his palm, the window rolled down, and fierce wind hit his face—swish! With a shot, it hit the opponent’s head squarely. Their car spun out of control and crashed into a pile of cars. Ahead of him, countless vehicles collided in a chain reaction, just like a real highway scenario. Lin Xiaosu seized the moment, calculated the gap, and accelerated under the flying cars. In an almost impossible condition, he dodged seven or eight vehicles’ impacts, swiftly accelerating away on the highway. “Brilliant!” In the small courtyard, Chang Ye clapped in admiration. Once again, the scene caught her eye. In fact, all of Lin Xiaosu’s training was under her control. His injuries included. She didn’t heal his injuries because the injury was also part of the training. Everyone must have their own personal experiences to truly develop—the first day, the second day, the third day... Over seven consecutive days, Lin Xiaosu adapted to various types of transport including cars, supercars, airplanes, and even the latest models of various conveyances. He drove through city bustles and wilderness, sped with boats over seas, and flew planes in the blue sky, encountering enemies ranging from individual soldiers to squads, enemy tanks, ships... The weapon systems he used had already reached the level of missiles. Lin Xiaosu himself felt nothing much; it was just like playing a game... Yet, on the outside, Chang Ye and agent 88 were sweating profusely... “88, how long did it take you to reach his level?” Chang Ye asked a probing question. “There’s something quite depressing, I don’t know if it’s embarrassing to say...” Agent 88 said, “Actually, my current level hasn’t reached his, so it’s meaningless to talk about how long it took me.” “In just seven days, he reached a height that others couldn’t in seven months!” Chang Ye exhaled lightly, “I really can’t understand, with his kind of comprehension, this kind of learning ability, why did he fail his first civil service exam?” “Indeed, with his learning ability, it’s possible for him to score full marks in the civil service written test. Maybe it’s still about interests and hobbies. He’s naturally inclined to like high-intensity physical sports and lacks interest in dry book knowledge.” However, in the following days, Lin Xiaosu overturned Agent 88’s prediction once again. He entered the library next. He began to demonstrate a strong interest and fondness for book knowledge. The library was also categorized, and even had assistants, albeit virtual ones. Press a button, and a holographic projection of the assistant appeared out of thin air. Whatever type of book you needed, she would pull up related books, available in both electronic and physical forms. For physical books, Lin Xiaosu’s fingers were as quick as lightning, flipping through pages, a 300-page thick and utterly dry “Genetic Principle” in just half an hour. Then he switched to the next book, an even drier “Medical Encyclopedia.” Chang Ye and Agent 88 exchanged looks... “What does this mean? You say he’s interested, but he clearly didn’t read closely. You say he’s uninterested, then why would he flip through one book after another?” “I suspect he memorized them!” Chang Ye said. “Learn ‘Genetic Principle’ in just half an hour? Sounds mythical,” Agent 88 remarked. “It’s undeniable, there might also be some mysterious gene that can unlock the mysterious doors of the brain. The brain is the most mysterious area of the human body. Even the most advanced human brain of our time, Kelson, has developed only 18% of its capacity. He once asserted that if human brain development reached 20%, there will be incredible phenomena.” Agent 88 gazed at the sky at a 45-degree angle, “If his brain has really developed to 20%, maybe he indeed needs to change his path.” “Yes, among Qianlong, we are not short of special forces soldiers, any type of special forces soldier is not lacking, but we do lack real, genius-level R&D personnel, and those researchers and developers are the real key forces that can drive human progress with their own might.” Nobody knew that Lin Xiaosu’s speed of reading physical books was just the limit of his fingers, not his reading comprehension. His fingers could only flip books that fast; what else could he do? Reading electronic books was different. He put on a pair of glasses, the assistant set the screen scrolling speed to the highest—normal people would see the words flowing like water, unable to discern a single letter. But for Lin Xiaosu, it still felt too slow. With the high-intensity training in recent times, his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye and Human Tao Orchid Heart had entered a new stage... The assistant wasn’t human and lacked human astonishment. Of course, she wasn’t going to snitch either. Another seven days passed. Lin Xiaosu, like the laziest trainee, spent all seven days in the library. But if you summed up his achievements over these seven days, you’d be astounded. He learned seven languages, each fluently and proficiently—essential skills for espionage. He learned “Genetic Principle,” “Genetic Conception,” “Medical Encyclopedia,” “Profound Emperor’s Inner Scripture”... In the most cutting-edge field of genetic theory, he already had his own understanding and perceptions... He deeply reflected, initially when he obtained Human Tao Orchid Heart, he undervalued this skill, feeling that it wasn’t as practical as Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye. But now, looking back, how could Human Tao Orchid Heart be comparable to Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye? With Human Tao Orchid Heart, his learning speed and comprehension improved thousands of times. Including his body of knowledge, his worldview, and his perspective on the world, all were completely transformed. He was particularly interested in espionage-related knowledge. Just then, when he had learned most of the other necessary knowledge, he leisurely read a book about espionage. The tea had gone cold, and amid the wafting music, he seemed to enter a vivid world of espionage... The book in his hands used pseudonyms. The locations were also pseudonyms. But he knew, everything recorded in this book were real events. There was an espionage member who, for his country’s cause, personally killed his wife. There was an undercover agent who saw his son being decapitated and raised his arms in cheer. A researcher, in order to mislead the enemy country, implemented the “Trojan Horse Project,” murdered his supervisor, fled to the enemy country, and brought a load of top-secret materials, all of which were real. But these materials harbored a most sinister purpose, leading the enemy country down a misleading path, thereby gaining precious window of time for Daxia Country. The most promising Genetic Master traveled across oceans to Luoba State, infiltrated the infamous Luoba branch of “Nine Headed Snake,” killed the Nine Headed Snake’s “Baigu King,” and after being so severely injured that his body suffered crushing fractures, he was rescued by his teammates and reconstructed with liquid metal, thus became a legend... “Any thoughts?” A voice from behind him asked, accompanied by a faint fragrance.
