"In close combat with bare hands, you shouldn't be able to hurt Liu, but if you chop it down with a single hand, it might work." The boss's explanation seemed to end there, "After all, the power of weapons cannot be ignored!"
"Then if this knife is placed in reality, it will be difficult to make, right?" Liu Chang looked at the knife in his hand, "Let's not talk about the manufacturing process, the material alone should be difficult to find, right? To shake that kind of armor There are definitely not many knives made of high-quality materials, and although I am not familiar with knives, don’t knives usually crack or curl when cutting hard objects?”
"I won't bother you about materials and production." The boss said: "Leave it to us. After all, the third brother still knows some high-level people these days, so find a smelting factory for you to use. It is still possible to make a melee weapon with good metal materials."
"Well, you don't have to worry about other things, just do the next training course seriously." The third child also interjected: "The training course in the first stage is the simplest and most direct, but also the most boring , this is a process that allows you to generate muscle memory. Although this 'muscle memory' is generated in a dream, it will still be transmitted to your real body with 50% efficiency. And you wave your arms in your dream You won’t feel tired, you won’t feel the pain of hunger, and you can concentrate more. Therefore, the effect of training here should not be worse than in reality.”
"You have said so much, what exactly do you want to train me in the first stage?" Liu Chang was a little puzzled when he heard what the third child said.
"The correct posture of swinging the knife is the combination of the correct posture of exerting force and the posture of holding the knife." The third child rolled up his dull body and sat directly on the grass, "Those who were correct just now The posture has entered your mind, what you need to do next is to follow this correct posture and use the most focused spirit to swing 10,000 times first... "
"Chopping, slashing, killing... so many knife postures, which one do you want me to practice first?" Liu Chang asked.
"10,000 times for each pose!" The third child spread his hands as he spoke, "Anyway, we don't have much energy today, so we can't help you with more things. It's the perfect thing for you to practice this today. "
"Well, but you have to remember." The boss added: "Every time you wield the knife, you must concentrate on it, otherwise, the muscle memory in your dream will not be transmitted to the body, understand?"
"Got it." Swallowing his saliva, Liu Chang knew that the next process was really as unbearable as the three clones said—the most sad thing for intelligent species is nothing more than asking him to do a boring thing repeatedly There is no fun thing to speak of. In the mechanical repetitive motion in the entire history of mankind, men have never had any other pleasure in repetitive motion except for friction motion.
Therefore, when Liu Chang concentrated on the strength of the knife and his arm, and then swung the knife 344 times to the end, he felt a little tired, his mouth was full of bitterness, his brain was buzzing, and his mental strength was unconsciously slackened. open.
"Oh, there is no shortcut to things like becoming stronger and muscle memory. If you don't want to be slapped in half in the not-too-distant future, you don't want to see you in the not-too-distant future. If the relatives and friends around you die, you should concentrate on it." The moment Liu Chang lost his mind, a voice appeared in his mind, and he couldn't tell whether it was the voice of the boss, the second child or the third child, but What the voice said really lifted his spirits, "Think about the relatives who let others capture you but can't do anything to save them, you know how meaningful the seemingly meaningless thing you are doing now is. It makes sense!"
When a wise man speaks, he always hits the nail on the head.
Therefore, Liu Chang was hurt by this sentence.
Therefore, his spirit that had just been dissipated gathered up again.
Then, standing in the dark room, standing next to Liu Chang's body, He Zhizhi saw the man's body lying on the cold floor, and began to tremble rhythmically—then, the trembling frequency became more and more consistent , more and more monotonous, more and more rhythmic...
A dull night.
A meaningful night.
When Liu Chang woke up from his sleep the next day, he could still feel the slight heat in his palms and arms. The first thing he did when he got up was not rubbing his eyes, not yawning, or stretching, but standing silently on the floor. Get up, hold your hands empty, and then look forward, as if there is a knife that does not exist in front of you. He stared at the blade engraved intently, and then slashed down obliquely.
The arm made a buzzing sound in the air, and then a non-existent almost perfect arc appeared in his eyes—that should have been a knife arc.
"Well done." The boss's voice sounded from the floor, "This knife has at least 80 points, but the power and angle are still a bit poor, and only 70% of your muscle strength has been exerted, and you The cutting point of the blade is not vertical enough, and it will be even more offensive if you cut things like this. Well, so, you have to practice!"
"Yes." Liu Chang let go of the hands "holding the knife", and then turned to look at the three children who got up at the same time as him on the other side.
Then, his gaze was fixed there, and he was stunned for three or four seconds.
"What's wrong with you three?" Liu Chang looked at the three little fellows, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes, "Could it hurt so much?"
At this time, the three children in his eyes, although they have already woken up, still look sluggish—like the old man who smoked opium on TV in the late Qing Dynasty, his spirit has been reduced to a slumber by years of opium. The look of not being able to lift the pair of eyelids - this was impossible before.
Because these three children have high IQs and are usually very energetic. This is like a person who has practiced martial arts all year round and has a strong body. Even if he doesn't show it deliberately, his usual walking looks much stronger than that of ordinary people. In the same way, people with high IQs have extraordinarily clear eyes.
But now the eyes of the three children, not to mention clear and clear, can hardly open their eyelids, with huge eye bags, sleepy eyelids, half of the eyeballs are covered with tears and eye feces, and they look like they are about to The look of entering a coffin.
"No, no." Seeing the appearance of these three little guys, Liu Chang finally knew how determined the three little guys were when they said they wanted to train him. Therefore, he waved his hand even though he was moved, "Cancel this project tomorrow, I think you will die sooner or later if you go on like this."
"We can't die, we have a measure." The boss rubbed his eyes, squeezed out the turbidity in his eyes, and then said weakly: "Yesterday was the first time I did this kind of thing, and forcibly let your brain waves Speeding up, so I look a little tired, and I won’t be in the future. Don’t try to stop us from making a good decision, because since the three of us have already decided on this matter, then this matter is now, for us, for you, It's the best and most helpful decision. It's also the decision with the highest value, don't make us do the wrong thing."
Standing up slowly from the ground, the boss stepped forward and patted Liu Chang's waist, "Stop talking, just do what you should do. There are many hours in the daytime, you can go to the street and grab a real knife of similar length Come on, find a place where there is no one to practice sword skills or something, this is the most helpful thing for us. Don't be provocative there like a woman, go provocative, are you annoying?"
The boss was talking, and looked up at the room where there was no one else—He Zhizhi had left this room at some point, so his voice was particularly loud and arrogant.
"Brothers have something to do today, and I have to go get you some information, so I won't accompany you here to talk nonsense." The second child also pulled the third child to stand up, then waved at Liu Chang, No nonsense, just walked out of the room.
"Don't be lazy today, you!"
The three children left with the sound in a very stylish way, with a sense of chicness and pretentious wisdom hidden in them.
Liu Chang looked at these three children who obviously possessed the IQ of adults and also had the actions of adults, but because of the limitations of their bodies, every time they did the actions of adults, they were always a bit funny. At the same time, he deeply understood what the three of them said.
effort!
Yes, survival in the last days requires hard work—working hard to survive. In this world, some people have good luck and some people have bad luck. In this apocalyptic world, most of the unlucky ones died, but the lucky ones couldn't always rely on luck to keep themselves alive.
If people want to live, they have to rely on adjustment.
The word "struggling with the sky" sounds empty and fairy-like without a sense of chill, but Liu Chang thinks it's perfect for this word to be placed here.
Fight for your life!
It should have been the harshest word.
What needs to be contended for? - You need to earn what is not in your hands, and if your life is not in your hands, then there is no more chilling word in this world than this.
Fight for your life with the end of the world, with others, with the willow tree, and with the flow!
"Maybe I can't beat you now, maybe my efforts are in vain, maybe you can really punch me into a pulp when you come out of stealth." Liu Chang silently felt the increasingly heavy oppression on his body, felt With this sense of crisis coming from the deepest part of animals and cells, the will to survive has never been stronger.
After five years of tempering, Liu Chang is no longer the student who is still on campus, nor is he the boy in the Kaifeng barracks who was holding a steel knife but trembling in his heart, nor is he hiding in the sewer crying with fear. shadowed.
He only now understands the true meaning of being strong.
"If you want my life, I will always fight!"
