Suddenly, Wang Zheng felt the urge to try, and then he opened his own training room, got into the War God No.1, and started his enthusiastic training.
Focusing on training can indeed help one forget their troubles.
The others were waiting, but when they saw the skeleton enter the training area, they continued to watch. The training area was only available for beginners; experts wouldn't come here to train as it wouldn't help them much.
"Isn't that right? At the skeleton's level, what's there to train for?"
"Yeah, it's all about understanding mechs and equipment, nothing too challenging."
"Who knows, it's a pity he set it to not be open to the public. I really want to watch."
The crowd was chatting enthusiastically, but Student Yan Xiaosu was getting impatient. He pulled the haptic sensor and shook his big head, ...
Wang Zheng was doing shooting practice, ... but his aim was terribly off, as if he was joking around ...
The mech's movements were very strange, constantly swinging the laser gun, as if trying to increase the speed of drawing the gun, but the large movements resulted in a terribly low hit rate. Yan Xiaosu watched for a while and could only shake his head, not knowing what Wang Zheng was doing.
He seemed to be planning a suitable strategy to earn their first pot of gold.
The grand words by the lakeside seemed to be taking shape.
Wang Zheng found the training more and more interesting. His target mech was equipped with a magnetic storm device. Due to his terrible shooting, he was repeatedly blown up by the training mech.
The rich Su couldn't bear to watch after one look. If it weren't for the ID, Student Yan would have thought it was a dream. This level, he could handle with one hand.
Wang Zheng had been blown up countless times by the training mech but still enjoyed it, continuing his strange gun-drawing posture.
Wang Zheng didn't notice, but the cube mark on his chest began to emit a faint light.
"Loading information... 1%... 10%... Analyzing... Analyzing... Continuing to load..."
No one knew how long it had been, how many times Wang Zheng had been destroyed, or how many rounds Yan Xiaosu had played. Since learning that Wang Zheng was the skeleton, Yan Xiaosu seemed possessed by a war god, his skills improving significantly, achieving a rare three consecutive victories, performing exceptionally well and earning much praise from his teammates.
But looking at Wang Zheng, who was still fighting the same mech, and the training results, ... it was truly a sorry sight.
No one knew what Wang Zheng was training for, and Yan Xiaosu didn't bother to think about it. He was mainly there to keep Wang Zheng company. However, he thought about it, the best way to get over a relationship was to start a new one. He had deep experience; after getting together with An Mei, the chapter with Yue Jing was over, and he truly moved on, treating it as a beautiful first love.
Ye Zisu and Meng Tian were really great, top-notch, but it seemed they weren't easy to deal with.
Sigh, it looked like he really needed to use his brain to save up some dowry for them.
They stayed until midnight before leaving. The rare appearance of the skeleton didn't involve any matches, but the Skeleton Corps was still lively, speculating about what the skeleton was training for, and why it took so long. After all, CT wasn't real training and didn't require cumulative effort, but it didn't stop their enthusiasm. More and more people in the Skeleton Corps were forming teams, losing together and winning together, all very happy. Rainbow and Johnson were often pulled to share their combat experience, and they even held teaching matches, which were very popular. Their skills were undeniable, and they were definitely strong.
Johnson, due to his physical condition, could only participate in individual matches, but in the dark environment, he was truly invincible. His understanding and use of mechs were deeply ingrained, making it impossible for opponents to distinguish directions. This was a time difference; the dark had no effect on Johnson, but for others, even with instruments, their reactions were slower, and their actions even slower, resulting in a significant gap.
Rainbow, besides having a powerful mech, was also excellent in leadership, able to make precise judgments and execute targeted attacks, decisive and ruthless, drawing cheers from the Skeleton Corps.
Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu became the commentators for the internal matches, working well together, not inferior to Xiaolu and Xiaomo. The key was that everyone was very happy!
Wang Zheng didn't return to school but went home. Aina's departure had calmed him down a lot. Who was Old Jia, with such a deep scientific foundation, whose words could spark innovation? Why would such a person be content to stay in such a small place for ten years? What was this cube, and why did he give it to him?
He really wanted to know, what was his fate, what was he supposed to do?
When Wang Zheng returned, the bookstore door was still closed, with a "For Sale" sign on it, empty and abandoned. Old Jia wouldn't be back.
Looking at the sky, the stars were beautiful. At this moment, Aina was probably under another sky. He suddenly felt a bit lost.
Returning to his small room, the room was dusty... Suddenly, Wang Zheng's eyes lit up. There were footprints...
Ordinary people wouldn't notice, but with Wang Zheng's keen insight, he could see that someone had been in the room. He had nothing valuable, so why would a thief come? Unless it was...!
Scanning the room, there was a note on the table. Wang Zheng was overjoyed and quickly bounced over. After all, he was a sixteen-year-old boy, longing for family, even a bit of information.
Opening the note, it was indeed Old Jia's handwriting, crooked and ugly.
"Knowledge is wealth, believe in yourself, a good man has great ambitions, ... this house has been sold, prices have risen so much, don't miss me too much — Old Jia."
Wang Zheng blinked, wipe... wipe... wipe...
This old man, he came back to get his property code. Wang Zheng opened the cabinet, and sure enough, it was gone. Damn, how poor was he!
There was indeed a notice on the door, only a few days left. Faint.
Roaring, Wang Zheng fell onto the bed. The bookstore was gone, the house was gone, and his last connection to Old Jia was gone.
What kind of situation was this?
At this moment, the cube on his chest began to emit a faint light, enveloping Wang Zheng.
The electric shock feeling came again. Wang Zheng looked up at the ceiling, no way, this must be the legendary misfortune piling up.
Bones, two years haven't passed yet, can you count?!
When Wang Zheng opened his eyes, he saw Bones' familiar face, ... a bit serious.
"Ha, dear Bones, long time no see, I really miss you!"
Reaching out doesn't hit a smiling face. For this unpredictable Bones, Wang Zheng thought it was better to be low-key.
Silence... Silence... Silence...
Wang Zheng was a bit nervous. Whenever Bones was deep in thought, something was up, and the red light in his eyes was scanning Wang Zheng, making him feel cold. If ignorance was once bliss, the now experienced Wang Zheng didn't want to die just yet.
"An unexpected event has occurred, the existence of the Lante Empire has not been detected. After calculation, an unknown thirteenth-dimensional space has been crossed. Execute the first law of the Lante Empire!"
The skeleton robot said meticulously.
Wang Zheng shrugged helplessly, "Whatever you say, whether it's east or west, what's the first law? You're not going to destroy me again, are you?"
"Rebuild the Lante Empire, you will ascend the throne as the 521st king of the Lante Empire. I will be responsible for searching for your people in this world."
Looking at the serious Bones, Wang Zheng opened his mouth. Was this the legendary torment to the death? Even becoming a king, and searching for people, damn, was the system malfunctioning?
"Cough, Bones, come, sit, don't be so serious. Let's talk about this. Two years haven't passed yet, you brought me in. I still have things to do outside. Be a good boy, let me out, and I'll definitely gather the battle energy in two years."
Wang Zheng started his persistent persuasion.
"Your Majesty, restoring the Lante Empire is my primary mission. For this, I will execute the supervision plan. Please cooperate, or I will take compulsory measures."
Bones said unmovingly. Wang Zheng was truly at a loss. Damn, inside and out, no one was reasonable, being a king was so oppressive.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Wang Zheng said.
"Your Majesty, the data is insufficient. More information about this dimensional space is needed. You now need to start the second stage of training, which has been adjusted according to the characteristics of this space."
Bones said seriously.
"Bones, relax, don't be so serious. Isn't it about restoring the empire? Don't worry, let's talk about something practical. Last time during the special training, I suddenly fell ill, and my battle energy was gone. What happened?"
"Your Majesty, your battle energy is also the main power source of the cube. To execute the restoration plan, your genes and energy were needed, causing temporary weakness, mainly because you are too fragile."
Wang Zheng opened his mouth... He understood. The Lante Empire must be a military empire, with experts from top to bottom. He didn't know how they survived.
However, it was clear that the two-year restriction was lifted. The cube needed more battle energy to complete the plan.
Wang Zheng originally wanted to bluff, with the autonomy in his hands, there were many ways to delay. But suddenly, he thought of Aina.
Maybe, this was his chance!!!
The cube would be his greatest asset in this world.
But the second stage of training made Wang Zheng a bit crazy.
The first level of the Unity Technique was just for physical training. According to Bones, this was the initial stage of becoming a war god, the basics. The greatest power of humans comes from the mind, simply put, the development, use, refinement, and essence of the brain. At the war god stage, using the cube as a tool, one's power can be maximized, called "war god."
