Chapter 22

"Look, this is the spatial bracelet that was just launched last year. It has a twenty cubic meter three-dimensional space inside. Even if you put a low-level demon beast's corpse in it, it will fit!"

"This is the titanium alloy silver bone combat knife. It's incredibly sharp, slicing through iron like butter. When facing a zombie head of level three or below, it's as easy as cutting tofu!"

"And this one, the inner layer of this close-fitting soft armor is made from the hide of a Fire Horn Rhino. Not only is it warm in winter and cool in summer, but its defensive power is astonishing. Ordinary bullets can't penetrate it at all!"

"Of course, the most important thing is this, the latest Federal Kung AX3 series single-soldier combat suit. I had to go through a lot of trouble to get it for you. How about it, impressive, right?" Xue Meier laid out the equipment she had obtained for Bu Fan, boasting as she spoke.

Bu Fan rolled his eyes disdainfully. Although these items were indeed extremely precious, he didn't believe for a second that Xue Meier had gone through a lot of trouble to get them.

When have you ever seen something that took a lot of effort to obtain be delivered in just half an hour?

Even the training medicine that Bu Yan bought for Bu Fan from the SkyNet Mall this morning hasn't arrived yet.

She only spent half an hour, so how could she have gone through a lot of trouble?

"Hey, at least show a little gratitude, okay? Your indifference makes me feel like a failure!" Seeing Bu Fan's calm expression as he faced the equipment, Xue Meier felt a bit dejected.

Bu Fan let out a helpless bitter laugh. He knew these were all excellent items, but it was like going to a car show. He clearly knew that those luxury cars weren't his, so he wouldn't have much of a reaction.

Of course, Bu Fan now knew these items were his, but the problem was, first, he didn't really have a good grasp of these top-tier equipment.

Second, even if the equipment was handed to him, he wouldn't know how to use it. For example, with the Gauss rifle, Bu Fan's knowledge of firearms was still at the level of gunpowder, so it was hard for him to understand the advantages and disadvantages of Gauss weapons.

"Never mind, you're like a block of wood, so I don't even want to bother explaining. By the way, because we bought so many weapons at once, the Federal Weapon Mall gave us a discount card. Not only will you get a 98% discount on future purchases, but you can also enter the SkyNet Federation's virtual shooting range to experience various weapons launched by the Federation, and even choose a coach. However, the experience time is only one month, so you should make the most of it!" Xue Meier then took out a silver card with a row of numbers on it, clearly the discount card she mentioned.

"Thank you!" This time, Bu Fan finally thanked Xue Meier.

If the weapon transaction was part of their agreement, then this discount card was clearly Xue Meier's help.

"Don't be so formal. Anyway, the things provided by the discount card are of no use to me. It's better to give it to you so you can be grateful to your sister and work harder for me in the future!" Xue Meier said softly as she turned around at the door and then left gracefully.

Bu Fan looked at the equipment scattered on the ground and sighed inwardly.

He had the items, but the next step was to learn how to use them. Otherwise, even the best weapons would be useless in his hands!

Thinking about this, he turned his gaze to the discount card on the table, then picked it up and scanned it into the tactile helmet.

After that, Bu Fan put all the equipment into the spatial bracelet, wore it on his wrist, and set the appearance to a watch style. He then put on the tactile helmet and lay down.

For the entire day, Bu Fan was in the virtual training room of the SkyNet, familiarizing himself with the various weapons Xue Meier had provided.

It wasn't until the tactile helmet alerted him that someone was calling from the outside that he logged out of the SkyNet.

After taking off the helmet, he saw Bu Yan standing by his bed, and a smile appeared on his face.

"What's up?"

"Follow me!" Bu Yan said softly and turned to walk out.

Bu Fan got out of bed, put on his shoes, and followed Bu Yan. She led him to the rejuvenation pod first.

"Normally, the rejuvenation pod is used once a week to provide energy to the body and reduce the need for food. However, since you're about to go into battle, your situation is special. I've already applied to Qiao Yurou, and the rejuvenation pod will be exclusively for your use before the mission. Now, I'll teach you how to use it..."

Using the rejuvenation pod wasn't difficult; you just needed to learn how to fill the nutrient solution and set the activation program.

"Next, remember, these are the enhancement potions I prepared for you. After your training, mix these enhancement potions with the nutrient solution and use the rejuvenation pod to help you absorb them quickly. This will help you recover from the aftereffects of intense training in the shortest time possible and keep your body in a healthy state. You should use one bottle of the enhancement potion per day!" Bu Yan opened a cabinet next to the rejuvenation pod, revealing thirty neatly arranged blue bottles.

"What if they run out?" Bu Fan asked Bu Yan softly.

"Run out? Don't think about using several bottles at once. If you use too much of these enhancement potions, they will become toxic to you. So, use one bottle per day!"

Perhaps guessing Bu Fan's thoughts, Bu Yan added sternly.

"Also, follow me!" After explaining, Bu Yan led Bu Fan to the fitness area next to the rejuvenation pod, which was filled with various fitness equipment.

"I've already added a training application to the control brain for you, currently up to the level of a Warrior Rank 2. I think this level is enough for you to train for a while. Start from the beginning, and if you feel your strength is sufficient, you can attempt to advance to the next level. After the assessment, the training AI will automatically upgrade your training standards to the next level. As for how to gauge your strength, I've given you a general guideline. You can refer to it later!"

After finishing, Bu Yan didn't wait for Bu Fan to digest the information and led him back to the room.

Then, Bu Yan opened the SkyNet screen and tapped on it, eventually entering an ancient-looking hall.

"Listen carefully, don't tell anyone about what I'm about to tell you, understand?" Bu Yan said sternly to Bu Fan.

Bu Fan looked at her in surprise but nodded involuntarily.

"These are the combat steps and sword techniques from the base academy. I downloaded them for you, but they are incomplete. The steps are only one-third, and the sword techniques are only the first three moves. However, even if you master just one move, you will have a strong offensive and defensive ability in close combat. But remember, don't use these steps and sword techniques unless it's absolutely necessary. If the academy discovers that you've learned them secretly, it will be disastrous!"

"By the way, I'll buy the weapons and equipment for you later. After you learn them, don't just practice in the SkyNet; you should also practice in real life, understand?" Bu Yan continued.

Bu Fan, however, was staring at Bu Yan in a daze. Although Bu Yan had always appeared cold and indifferent, and seemed to ignore him, she actually valued their relationship deeply.

It was just that the old Bu Fan didn't know how to maintain their relationship, leading to their growing distance.

"Hey, I told you to watch the video, not me!" Bu Yan looked up and saw Bu Fan staring at her blankly, instantly becoming angry.

But Bu Fan suddenly took a step forward, came to Bu Yan's side, and gently held her shoulders.

Bu Yan could easily have dodged, but at that moment, her mind seemed to lose control, and she let Bu Fan embrace her.

"Don't worry, I'll come back alive!" Bu Fan said solemnly, leaning close to Bu Yan's ear.
