"Then let's call it a draw," Tianyuan said.

He swallowed again, the battleship's avatar lying on the ground, staring at the human who sat astride him.

Tiny beads of sweat gathered on Gu Xingqiao's skin, like powdered diamonds. The faster blood flowed also gave his originally white skin a soft blush, making his eyes sparkle...

"What are the results of your evaluation?" Gu Xingqiao did not stand up, but raised his arm and casually wiped the sweat from his face.

"According to human standards, your agility is above average, your coordination is average, and your strength is your weakness. In the short term, your explosive power is amazing, but you can't sustain it for too long in a war of attrition." Lying on the ground, Tianyuan answered truthfully, "The next direction of strengthening will be your endurance and physical fitness, as well as recuperating the hidden injuries you suffered in the past war."

Calling up the task list, Tian Yuan suddenly felt that the overlapping scars on Gu Xingqiao's body were somewhat annoying.

A perfect soul should be matched with a perfect body.

Gu Xingqiao agreed and did not comment on Tianyuan's strict evaluation results.

Having been imprisoned by Cecil for too long, he knew to what extent his body functions had deteriorated. He also knew that Tianyuan had let him off easy in today's competition.

Just as he was about to stand up, Tianyuan grabbed his arm.

Gu Xingqiao looked down at him, and Tianyuan's fingertips suddenly emitted spreading fireworks, covering the young man's wounds.

Gu Xingqiao only felt a slight pain, but in just a moment, the deep bloody wound had healed completely, and there was no trace of injury.

He nodded slightly and continued to stand up from Tianyuan.

"There's one more thing." Tian Yuan said suddenly.

Hearing his voice, the young man stopped and left.

"After four days of getting along, I have also created an analytical profile of your personality." Tianyuan said, "You have quite a few characteristics of a helpful personality. You are eager to give, but not simply to contribute. What you expect is a fair environment where 'how much you give, how much you get back'. It's just that the human empire cannot provide you with such an environment. The dilemma of the glass ceiling is particularly typical of you."

Gu Xingqiao kicked away a piece of the knife handle and squinted at him.

"So, if you can't change the environment, you have no choice but to change yourself. Only by working harder can you get the same treatment as ordinary imperial people. On the surface, you keep people at a distance, but in fact, you are generous, enthusiastic, and eager for healthy and positive interactions. If others need you, you will feel comforted; if others accept your help unconditionally and express a little gratitude, you will feel that your self-worth has been valued."

Gu Xingqiao looked patient, his fists slowly clenched behind his back. Tian Yuan's next words would determine how he would treat this artificial idiot.

"Of course, I will help you solve this problem." Tianyuan said, "Cesare seized on this weakness of yours and caused you to completely collapse psychologically. But I am different from him. I will only tell the truth without manipulation or suppression."

Gu Xingqiao was confused now. He didn't understand what Tianyuan meant.

"…Just tell me, what do you want to do?"

"I think praise is the right antidote," Tianyuan said. "You have a proper understanding of your own abilities, but lack confidence in interpersonal communication. I will use straightforward words to make you fully believe that you are fully worthy of any praise."
