Chapter 22: Enter Lucy

In Babylon, there are actually more ways to absorb knowledge. For example, Zhinao can connect to the federal database, which contains a large number of e-books for reading. Books in the form of paper media are rare now. The three books that Hughton threw to Allen are already crumpled, and it can be seen that they have been aged for some time.

These three books are "Biography of Famous Generals", "Strategy of Powerful Ministers" and "Playboy"! Allen looked at the third book, which was not so much a book as a magazine. On the cover of the magazine, a sexy girl is posing seductively. Allen Yizheng doesn't know how this book will help him. Suddenly, Hughton took back the magazine in a flash, coughed dryly and said, "This is the wrong one."

Then he threw another book over calmly, but it was an "Illustrated Book of Creatures" about dangerous species.

The death ring is mainly inclined to the cruel competition between the contestants, but a certain number of dangerous species will also be put in to increase the difficulty of the competition, and at the same time increase the price of more fun for the audience. So this "Illustrated Book of Creatures" is very useful to Allen, he can learn more about dangerous species and their habits.

As for the other two books, the teenager's interest is much less, after all, he has not yet reached the age of scheming and strategy.

After lunch, it is free time. There are two periods of free time a day, one at noon and one in the evening, each lasting two hours. Allen left after lunch, and he took the elevator to the top floor. The elevator opened, and a vast space appeared before Allen's eyes.

With the design of the opening method, when the elevator door is opened, you can see the huge space of 5,000 square meters on the top floor. Just this wide space itself has an unparalleled shocking power. Alan's little heart was shocked again, but after coming to Babylon, he had been shocked quite a few times, so he quickly recovered this time.

When you come out of the elevator, there is an information wall with the floor plan of the training hall on it. Allen can see the structure of the training hall from above. The training hall consists of a central venue and several training areas with different functions. The central venue is a place for rest and conversation, and other training areas have additional instructors or trainers to guide the competitors in using the tools in this area.

The best place to make friends is naturally the central venue, but Allen was in no hurry to run to the venue. He is more interested in the training area with different functions. Anyway, it doesn't take much time to walk around. When the time comes, he will go to the central venue to meet the competitors this time. There is still plenty of time.

The functional area is centered on the central venue and distributed in a ring along a passage. There are arrows on the floor as instructions, Allen walks in a clockwise direction, and there is a shooting area first. The inside is divided into several small areas, and two teenagers are practicing inside. One of them uses a sniper rifle, and the other uses a bow and arrow.

Allen was not interested in shooting, so he continued to move forward, and then there was a fighting area. In the fighting area, two people can fight against each other, or simulate fighting with the brain. Allen stayed here for a while before continuing to visit.

After walking more than half a circle, he stopped in a functional area for training reflex nerves. Inside, several teenagers were training at the same time. They were wearing helmets and holding a short metal rod, constantly swinging something into the air. Sometimes it will dodge and somersault, just like the

Fighting fiercely with invisible opponents.

A woman walked over, in her early twenties, wearing a tight silver uniform, outlining her beautiful figure. Allen saw a plaque pinned to her chest with the words "Trainer Tessa" written on it.

"I know you, young master Allen from District 13, right?"

The trainer Tessa walked up to Alan, lay down a little and said to him, "How about it, are you interested in visiting it?"

This angle just allowed Allen to see the pair of murder weapons hidden under the neckline. The round silhouette was very lethal to the young man, and Allen naturally reacted. He stepped back a little embarrassed and said, "What are they doing?"

"Those are sensors. Using them, you can train your reflexes in scenarios simulated by your brain. They can make you faster, more accurate, and calmer." Tessa walked behind Allen and pushed He said, "Go, try."

When Tessa straightened up, Alan was just on her chest. So the boy found that the thing behind his chest was extremely soft, and Tessa whispered in his ear: "If you like, I can let you try something else. But, now is not the time."

Another devastating sentence.

Tessa took him to another vacant training area, helped Alan put on the sensor helmet, and handed him a short metal baton. The trainer explained: "The sensor helmet will allow you to be immersed in the simulated scene. The somatosensory device in your hand can simulate the weapons you are familiar with according to your habits. What you have to do is to shoot down the virtual frisbee. Every time you shoot down Every Frisbee gets corresponding points, and when the points accumulate to a certain level, the difficulty will gradually increase.”

"Alan, it's your first time here, so let's start with the easiest difficulty."

After putting it on, Allen's eyes were dark at first, because his vision was blocked by the helmet mask. After a while, a faint light began to appear, and the light gradually brightened, and finally Allen saw an open grassland, which was a scene simulated by the brain. At the same time, Allen also heard a prompt from the brain: "Please choose to use weapons."

Then a list of menus appeared in front of him, there were many options in it, and there were many styles of weapons that could be selected. Allen immediately chose a combat knife, and the somatosensory device in his hand immediately changed from a short stick to a tactical long knife about one meter long.

Then, the weight, length, width and other details were adjusted. A moment later, a big knife similar to Kuantu appeared in Allen's hands. Allen tried the feel of his hand, and after he was almost indistinguishable from Kuangtu, he said softly: "It's time to start."

So the words "LV1" first appeared in the space in front of him, and then a spinning flywheel suddenly appeared, whizzing and smashing towards Alan's chest. Allen raised the knife and fell on the flywheel neatly, and the flywheel immediately exploded into a ball of fluorescent light.

One after another, the flywheels flew straight, slanted, or circled, flying towards Allen at different angles and orbits. Allen waved the saber in his hand and blasted these things with ease. After shooting down more than a dozen flywheels, the difficulty of Brain Boosting increases. The next moment, the two flywheels collided at the same time, and Allen swung out his saber to shoot them down.

When the difficulty increased to LV3, Allen couldn't be as relaxed as before. He had to dodge it at first, he had to observe the trajectory of the flywheel, and even used pre-judgment to be able to go smoothly.

Shoot down every flywheel. After increasing the difficulty by another level, the number of flywheels appearing at the same time has reached four, and the speed has also doubled! In this way, the time left for Allen to react is even shorter.

At this moment, the four flywheels almost cover the space that Allen can normally avoid. Whether he is constantly retreating or moving sideways, he is bound to hit one or two of them. Seeing the flywheel hit, Allen suddenly jumped forward and passed through the gap between the four flywheels in a thrilling manner. Landed on the body, turned around and slashed, and after calculating the trajectory of the knife, the four flywheels were shot down almost simultaneously!

Wearing the sensor, he didn't know that a group of people had gathered outside the training area at some point. There are instructors and trainers in the training area, as well as some members of the organizing committee, and some of them have turned on their brains and are recording something. In addition, there are some teenagers participating in the death ring, and they are all staring at the scoreboard above the training area.

When the score jumped to the number 485, a girl couldn't help exclaiming: "He broke Lucy's record!"

"Who is this guy?"

"Don't you know. It's Allen from District 13, the idiot who volunteered to participate in the death ring."

The teenagers talked a lot, and then there was another exclamation, and someone pointed to the scoreboard and shouted: "It's already over 500 points, my God, that's a level 5 difficulty!"

Now, in Allen's eyes, five flywheels are attacking at the same time. Finally, this difficulty has exceeded the limit of what he can do. After successfully shooting down two flywheels, he was finally hit on the left chest in the third wave of flywheel attacks, and the brain reminded that the training was over.

After taking off the helmet, Allen saw Tessa. The woman excitedly hugged him firmly, and Alan buried him in the almost suffocating twin peaks. Allen finally broke free, only to find that the training area was full of people. Most of the people applauded him for the points he scored, while those teenagers who participated in the competition cast hostile glances at Alan, so Alan knew that these people could be crossed off from his alliance list.

"Good job, you actually broke Miss Ben's record!" A high-spirited voice rang out, the crowd parted, and a girl who was about the same age as Alan walked in with big strides.

Behind her, there seemed to be four or five boys and girls following.

The girl has long golden hair like sunshine, tied into a ponytail, jumping restlessly behind her head with the girl's steps, like a flame! Her facial features are exquisite and picturesque, her eyebrows are full of flamboyant air, and a pair of rare green eyes reflect Alan's figure like a fine green agate. She circled Alan twice, knocking Tessa away a few steps "inadvertently", and suddenly put her hand on Alan's shoulder and said, "I like you, come, become my subordinate!"

Behind the girl, several teenagers turned their faces away, with obvious smiles on their faces. Ellen couldn't smile at all. Admittedly, the girl was very beautiful. She also has an aura that Allen likes, which is high and distant, like distant mountains and forests.

But this girl is too flamboyant, almost arrogant. Allen picked up her little hand on his shoulder with two fingers, and said calmly, "I refuse."

"Why?" The girl showed a surprised expression.

"I don't want to be anyone's subordinate, especially a woman."
