Chapter 4

In the early morning, when Li Yi woke up, he found that Kele was staring at him right in front of his eyes.

This little guy could change his shape, sometimes turning into a smartwatch, other times into a walking robot, and his expressions were displayed on the liquid metal surface. At this moment, Kele looked very worried.

"What's wrong with me?" Li Yi rubbed his head and asked. He couldn't remember what had happened last night, as if he had just clicked the confirmation button to recast the Force Core and then fell asleep. When he woke up, his head was aching.

Kele obediently transformed back into a smartwatch, resting on Li Yi's wrist, and said, "After the Venus System was activated, the Force Core was destroyed. This damn Venus System seems to have performed a nanoscale recasting surgery on your Force Core."

"The situation was really dangerous at the time. Countless nanobots from the Venus System entered your body, directly destroying and reconstructing the Force Core. This technology is truly terrifying."

"The reason you were unconscious was also intentional on the part of the system. It administered precise anesthesia, so you wouldn't feel any pain throughout the process. You just felt like you had a good sleep. When you woke up, your Force Core was already a brand new one, and the original one had been destroyed."

Li Yi was slightly stunned. He stood up and checked his body in the mirror. Indeed, there were some small red dots on his back left by the Venus System, like mosquito bites, which had left only faint marks after a night.

Picking up the Venus device from the ground, it seemed to be completely abandoned. Originally weighing one kilogram, it now felt like a cicada that had shed its first layer of shell, leaving only an empty shell. Li Yi tossed it, and it flew quite high.

Frowning slightly, Li Yi said, "This device has become so light. Where did the original weight go?"

Kele replied, "It's all inside your body. Not only your Force Core, but I also detected through light wave technology that your bone density, cell density, and muscle fiber resilience have all increased significantly. According to my estimates, this physical enhancement will continue for a long time."

"To be precise, the Venus System isn't a cultivation system but a body modification system. Now, you're like steel that has been thrown into a furnace and recast, achieving a leap in improvement compared to the past."

Li Yi tried to move his body, and indeed, for some reason, he felt full of strength! He tried jumping a couple of times, and his legs felt as if they were equipped with springs. He could easily touch the ceiling with one stretch, and he also felt a hunger in his stomach, as if he hadn't eaten for a week.

"Break and then build, invincible in the world!" Li Yi said excitedly to himself, "So, Microdust Company didn't lie! It really is break and then build! I feel like I've been reborn!"

Kele complained, "The Venus System rashly performed a cellular-level body modification on you, which is a very dangerous thing. Your life index was close to zero for over an hour, and I was extremely worried."

"I will never let them off! Since last night, I have written countless complaint letters. How could they put the owner in such danger? If I let them off, I won't be called Kele! Humph!"

*Snap*

Li Yi tapped Kele's head with his finger. This little guy's indignant look was quite endearing.

Li Yi didn't know that last night, when Kele detected Li Yi's weak life force, he felt sad and attacked the main server of Microdust Machinery Company like a madman! The fierce attack almost made this super giant, which dominated several star domains, unable to cope!

Since last night, Microdust Company has been like ants on a hot pan, not knowing which big demon they had provoked, who didn't follow any rules and just started a brutal beating!

Perhaps this is why, despite developing a powerful first-generation machine, StarNet Company ultimately decided to abandon it. Artificial intelligence robots are too human-like, and long-term interaction with their owners can lead to emotional bonds, which ultimately affect the stability of the robots.

"There's an old saying in China: 'Without going mad, one cannot live.' No matter what, the result is good. Let's go, we need to eat something; we're almost starving." Li Yi said with a smile.

...

This breakfast actually consisted of twenty baozi and three bowls of millet porridge. If it weren't for the high-intensity training later, Li Yi could have easily eaten another twenty baozi. Northern baozi are much larger than those in the south, and Li Yi's sudden increase in appetite surprised even himself.

After breakfast, Li Yi went to the Ninth Advanced Tactical School to start his day of training.

Physical training, battlefield survival, team cooperation—these required courses were naturally not lacking. What Li Yi was most looking forward to was entering the Force Core Training Room.

This Force Core Training Room comes from advanced alien technology, with a thick alloy shell, and is jokingly called the "Turtle House" by the students.

Despite the unappealing name, the Turtle House is incredibly effective, being one of the few pieces of equipment that can quickly enhance Force. The Turtle House is expensive to build, and there are few of them. In the初级 tactical school, Li Yi had never even seen such high-end equipment. Only in the military, major combat groups, and high schools and universities are there a few Turtle Houses.

The summer training is held in the hot summer, after the second and third-year students have already taken their vacations, to familiarize the new students of the advanced tactical school with this system.

During this period, the Turtle House is exclusively for them, and on average, each student can train for one hour per day, which is very helpful for these future warriors.

However, since Li Yi's Force Core strength was the second lowest in the class, with a Force index of only 0.2, his time to enter the Force Core Training Room was after school.

It was already late, and Li Yi was surrounded by classmates with similarly low Force indices. As for those geniuses with higher Force indices, they had already completed their training in the morning when their energy was at its peak.

Seeing the legendary Turtle House for the first time, Li Yi couldn't help but feel excited. After the recasting of his Force Core, he felt much more relaxed during today's training. He was eager to find out if his Force had increased.

The instructor, Taida, assigned the students their training room numbers, writing their names on the blackboard outside the Turtle House and the usage order.

The first to use the training room was a girl named An Xiaobai, and Li Yi was the last.

"Go in, don't be nervous. The Force Core Training Room has a lot of pressure. If you can sit quietly inside for an hour on your first try, that's a good result," Taida warned.

Li Yi curiously pulled open the thick alloy door and walked in. It was an empty room, surrounded by metal, with no windows or chairs.

Directly opposite was an electronic screen, which displayed a countdown from ten to one, after which the training room would start operating.

Three, two, one!

*Whoosh*

The moment the countdown ended, Li Yi suddenly felt as if he had a ten-thousand-pound stone on his back, making his body incredibly heavy. His legs felt like they were filled with lead, and the pressure was so high that Li Yi couldn't catch his breath.

At this moment, Li Yi's body began to rapidly respond to the pressure!

Force, the fundamental power of intelligent life.

In the past, when people were unaware of the existence of Force, there were already many examples of Force explosions.

Li Yi had once read in an old newspaper about an old grandmother who, while shopping with her grandson, found him trapped under a truck weighing several tons. In a moment of desperation, she burst with immense strength, lifting the car and dragging her grandson out.

This event, which caused a sensation at the time, was called an inexplicable miracle. It wasn't until after the fall of the city, when an alien spacecraft crashed to Earth, that humans discovered from the damaged spacecraft's valuable technical data that this was Force.

Force is the fundamental power, possessed by everyone, hidden within the body. However, how to use this Force at will is a universal challenge.

As more alien data was revealed, Force cultivation systems, Force oral liquids, and other mechanical and medicinal products targeting warriors' Force were developed, ushering human combat power into a new era!

Sweat poured down, and Li Yi's steps barely moved in the Force Core Training Room. Gradually, he adapted to the Force pressure and began to practice martial techniques.

The structure of the Force Core Training Room is not complicated. It applies strong pressure to force the warriors' internal Force to resist, and it can even create a near-death experience.

Human potential bursts strongly in times of crisis, and the Force Core Training Room simulates a crisis state.

Li Yi is currently just a prospective warrior. He hasn't learned any real martial techniques, only a few long punches and standard movements. So, Li Yi slowly performed a set of long punches in the training room.

Over time, Li Yi's modified body gradually adapted to the Force pressure and began to strongly resist. The first set of long punches took twenty minutes, the second set took eighteen minutes, and the speed increased with each repetition.
