"Hahahahaha …"
When Tang Hao saw the miraculous editing method in the video, he laughed so hard that he almost fainted. He did not know if the system was doing this on purpose or not. It was simply too much of a bully. Was this the humiliation for the loser?
The loser would eat the dust!
Unfortunately, Yukina herself could not see this interesting scene. It was a little regretful …
Eh, no, there's a recording?
While he was feeling regretful, Tang Hao suddenly realized that there was an additional recording in the training stage. The recording time and the recording target were explained in detail. These detailed functions were never mentioned before. It seemed that after this version upgrade, there were still many things that the group members had to explore. Otherwise, they might miss out on some interesting things.
With that thought in mind, Tang Hao clicked on the recording. However, halfway through, the video was suddenly cut off.
"Who deleted the recording?"
"I'm just about to see something interesting."
Obviously, he was not the only one who was enjoying the recording. As the video was cut off, someone immediately voiced out their doubts. However, everyone heard Yukina's suppressed anger. "What's so interesting about that kind of thing? I deleted it!"
Yukina was very angry. She never thought that the chatroom's system would be so despicable. How could it give her such a terrible way to encrypt the video? She thought that she would be shamed forever. Fortunately, she realized that the video could be deleted in time. She immediately deleted it without hesitation. Only an idiot would save such a shameful thing!
[Are you okay?]
Yukina panted, her chest rising and falling slightly. At this moment, she saw a private message from Megumi Kato.
She felt a little comforted in her heart. She replied, [I'm fine. I'm just a little shocked.]
[It's okay. After all, we're not combatants. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be any better than you.]
[Hmm … But I still want to challenge it once.]
[Then … Do you want to join me?]
[No, I plan to work hard on my own.]
[Okay.]
[Thank you.]
After sending the last two words, Yukina closed the private chat window. After taking a few deep breaths, she gradually calmed down. Her eyes became firm and powerful again.
She was a person who pursued perfection. She had always felt that she was excellent, but in fact, she knew that she was not as excellent as she imagined. Not to mention her perfect superhuman sister, even among her peers, there were people who were better than her. Especially after entering this chat room, no matter how she looked at it, she was just an ordinary person.
In reality, many things were just like the training just now. You thought you could do it well, but when the actual results came out, they often fell short of your expectations.
He was actually very fragile.
Kato must have discovered this as well, which was why he comforted her and invited her to participate in the training challenge together. But … relying on others all the time would not change anything.
Yukina's family was a local famous family. Her father was the president of the company and also a member of parliament. The rich family gave her more opportunities to contact the upper class. Although she still did not understand things like politics for the time being, she knew that in such a family, some things were destined at birth.
After all, Yukina's family was only a local famous family. There was still a long way to go before they could become a real aristocrat. If the family wanted to climb up, they must contact a higher circle and be tied to a higher family. At this time, what was the most effective way?
Of course, marriage.
Yukina's family had two daughters, her sister Yang Nai and herself. Yang Nai had already proved her value with her own efforts. Even without relying on the family's power, she could stand out in society. She proved to everyone that her fate would not be bound by the family's marriage. Then, the only thing left was herself.
Although her relationship with her parents was very good, the family's determination to climb up was equally strong. If it really came to that time, she must accept that fate no matter what … for the family's benefit, she would marry a man she didn't like.
She was not the only one. Many girls like her, who were born in prestigious families, had their future arranged for them long ago.
Yang Nai had also hinted to her more than once that if she didn't want to accept such a fate, she should either leave Yukina's family, or be strong enough to break the family's shackles.
The former was difficult for her to do because she was a daughter of Yukina's family. The latter was equally difficult. After all, she was not as good as Yang Nai.
But in any case, she did not want to become a tool for the family's marriage.
Although it was still too early to think about this matter, she still had at least two or three years to prove herself. Even if she really failed, if she cried and asked for help in the chatroom, she would definitely be helped. But … that was not what she wanted.
She hoped to be like Yang Nai, to break the shackles of the family through her own strength.
The opportunity was in front of her. Hard work might not necessarily lead to success, but if she didn't work hard, she would certainly get nothing.
As long as she could take this step, she could at least gain courage!
From now on, change herself —
With such a firm determination, Yukina once again clicked on the training checkpoint.
It was still the city filled with smoke, and it was still the same horde of zombies. But this time, she didn't cry or scream. No matter how scared she was, how much she resisted, she kept her eyes wide open, trying to keep her mind calm, and then faced everything in front of her.
Escape began.
But it was far from enough to just escape. In this limited terrain, the group of zombies would soon surround her. Just like the song "Red Lotus's Bow and Arrow" — — Blindly burying one's head in prayer would not change anything. The only thing that could change the current situation was the awareness of battle!
Battle … She must fight!
Yukina clenched her teeth and looked around while being chased by the zombies. Finally, she found a crowbar in an old car. Picking up the crowbar, a zombie had already come to her side. Then she swung it with all her might.
Bang!
The zombie's head was smashed like a watermelon.
So weak.
Yukina's first thought was that she might have overestimated the zombie's physical strength, or she might have underestimated her current strength. Anyway, she finally got the first drop of blood in this training checkpoint.
However-
As the zombie's head was smashed, countless blood and minced meat were thrown at her like popcorn. Her originally delicate face was suddenly covered with filth. The solidified blood smell, the rotten smell of minced meat, and the instinctive resistance of human to the filth of blood and flesh made Yukina finally unable to bear it, her face instantly became pale.
"Ah …"
Clutching her stomach, she directly vomited.
Then the surrounding zombies rushed at her — — GG!
Failed again.
Sitting alone in the apartment, Yukina reviewed the video just now. 5 minutes and 48 seconds. It can't be said that there was no progress. She was no longer only escaping, she also tried to fight, and the time of survival had also increased. But could she be satisfied with this?
If this wasn't a training stage, but real life, would the result be any different?
This was not the change she wanted. She also knew where her problem was. She was still too timid and couldn't adapt to this kind of thing. But knowing was one thing, changing was another.
Perhaps, seeking guidance from an experienced person would allow him to avoid some detours.
Who?
Amethyst? Kaguya? Or Patchouli?
They were strong, but they were strong from the beginning. Their experience might not be suitable for him.
In the end, Yukina thought of Tang Hao.
Tang Hao was just like her. At the beginning, he was just an ordinary person. But now, he could even talk and laugh in a life and death battle. How could he not be afraid? How did he adapt?
After hesitating for a long time, Yukina finally gave up on the unnecessary restraint and knocked on Tang Hao's private chat window.
Training stages were a very good mechanism. Although it did not provide any benefits, it could cultivate the combat ability of the group members. Even ordinary people could accumulate enough experience from nothing to lay a solid foundation for future combat. Therefore, after Yukina, some of the group members also started their own training.
This included Hiwa Ichihara, Kirito, Asuna, Misaka Mikoto, Ilya, and Xiao Meiyan.
Especially Xiao Meiyan, as a new magical girl who had just entered the game, even with Gu Mingzhi's training, the extent of her improvement was quite limited. That was because there were not many opponents for her to practice with in real life. Even if there was a witch, it was basically Onara and Ba Asami who took care of them. At most, she could only stand at the back and cheer 666.
On the other hand, the existence of training stages was more in line with the abilities of the challenger. For a beginner like Xiao Meiyan, it could be said to be very helpful.
Tang Hao was also very interested in this training stage because everyone's training method was different. He also wanted to see where he was still lacking. However, just as he was about to start training, he received a private message from Yukina.
Tang Hao opened it casually.
"What should I do?"
'Hmm?'
Tang Hao was startled. This question was a little out of the blue.
"What do you mean?"
"It's … I don't think I can adapt to fighting like you."
"Oh, about that."
Tang Hao immediately understood. Based on Yukina's personality, she probably hesitated to ask him for advice. Since she was able to put down her pride, it meant that this matter was quite important to her. Therefore, Tang Hao stopped joking around.
"I saw your live stream just now. Actually, it's not a big problem. After all, not everyone is born to fight."
"So, I'm not suitable for fighting?"
"No one is born to do anything, which also means that no one is absolutely not suitable to do something. Your situation is just a normal reaction of most people. In summary, there are two points, one is psychological, and the other is physiological."
"I know this. So, how should I adapt?"
"Habit."
"Habit?"
"Yes, since you can't adapt immediately, you can only keep trying. When you gradually get used to fighting, you will no longer be afraid. When you have more contact with zombies, slowly, you will also feel that they are just a pile of rotten meat that can move. In the end, habit is the most powerful weapon. It can even change a person's worldview. "
"Also, don't be discouraged because of failure. This is all normal. Anyone will suffer if they suddenly do something they are not good at. Just slowly accumulate experience."
After Tang Hao replied, Yukina was silent for a while. After a few seconds, she sent another message.
"I understand, that … but I still want to ask, from your point of view, is there anything like stealing?"
'Stealing?'
Tang Hao could not help but narrow his eyes. It seemed that Yukina was a little anxious.
"It's not that there is no stealing. For example, you can treat it as reality."
"Reality?"
[That's right. That's because we all know that no one will die in the training stage. Once we activate Harmony Mode, we won't even feel pain. Although it's convenient and safe, it also gives us the thought that we won't lose anything even if we die. That's why we can't risk our lives. Of course, there will also be boorish people who 'dying won't matter, so it's fine to do anything'. But with your personality, you obviously belong to the former. So, why don't you try to imagine the training stage as reality? Once you die, you will really die. That might be able to stimulate your potential. "
"Will this really work?"
"Since it's free, why don't you believe it?"
"…"
"Also, there is a saying that although humans have their limits, there is no limit to their will to live! Thousands of years of human history has long told us that when two sides meet, the brave will wins! "
"… I understand, I will try."
"That's good. Do you have any other questions?"
"Yes, thank you."
"You're welcome. You just need to know that you still owe me a kiss."
"…"
"What kiss?"
As soon as Tang Hao said this, Yukina did not react. However, Yuji, who was sitting next to him, blinked her eyes strangely.
'Ah!'
Tang Hao was shocked.
'Oh no, I forgot that I'm in friend mode!'
"That … I was just teasing her. You know, I don't smoke or drink. I just have a hobby of teasing innocent girls."
Tang Hao did not hesitate to humiliate himself and found a lame excuse for himself.
Yuji pouted, not knowing whether to believe him or not.
Fortunately, the private chat window lit up again. Tang Hao immediately took the opportunity to change the topic.
"You see, I'm very busy."
As he said that, he opened it and saw that it was from Megumi Kato.
"Tang Hao, I have something to ask you."
"What is it?"
"It's about spiritual power training. I've also entered the training stage. The opponent given by the system can only use spiritual power to attack. I think you're more experienced in this area."
"Oh, spiritual power …"
Tang Hao's heart skipped a beat. He opened Megumi Kato's live video. She was in a dark room at the moment. The lights were off and the surroundings were gloomy. Occasionally, a white shadow could be seen flashing on the screen. He did not know if it was Sadako or Kayako. Anyway, it was a very scary kind.
"Why did you enter such a training stage?"
Tang Hao asked. He felt that Megumi Kato's training was more difficult than Yukina's. After all, zombies could be seen and touched. One hit from a hammer and they would die. As for evil spirits …
"I don't know either. Could it be because I exchanged for Spiritual Energy Concentration?"
"You didn't exchange for Reinforced Iron Bones?"
Tang Hao was slightly surprised. After all, Reinforced Iron Bones was the first choice for ordinary people. Spiritual Energy Concentration did not directly increase combat power, although it improved the five senses.
"Well, I think my physical fitness should be better than Yukina's."
"Oh, you're very brave."
"…"
