Chapter 148 Chapter 146 The Body Soaked in Water
The place that Gongdao Ge took Zhuang Xuteng to was a fitness and boxing club. Judging from the way he greeted people around him warmly, Dao Ge must be a frequent visitor here.
"I worked here to earn pocket money when I was a kid. At that time, I couldn't do anything else but wipe the tables and floors and put the dumbbells that customers put in their places. I often eavesdropped on the coach's classes, so I learned some fitness skills. Later, I fell in love with watching boxing here. The coaches and bosses have changed several times, but the things here have basically not changed, so I still come here often."
Gongdao Ge took Zhuang Xuteng to a vertical human-shaped sandbag target and said, "The sponge in this target is not too full, so you should use less force. Its head and torso cannot move. It has three arms in total, two of which are springs and the other is rotating. There are also two striking points under the feet, on the side of the torso. Do you see it?"
Zhuang Xuteng turned his head to look at it. It was two circles drawn on the side of the lower part of the central cylinder. "Does boxing have kicking moves?"
"These were changed later, and no one has three hands!" Gongdao Ge said with a smile: "The hitting points mentioned just now are equipped with lights. They will light up randomly after power is turned on. The rule is to hit wherever it lights up, and you hit as many times as it lights up, according to the order of the lights. Each round is three minutes. The faster the lights flash, the higher the difficulty. There are ten levels of difficulty in total."
Zhuang Xuteng nodded, then pointed to the screen next to him and said: "Is this a scoreboard? The whole thing is to train reaction speed, right?"
"Yes, to train reaction speed. If a light is on for two seconds without hitting, four points will be deducted; if you hit the wrong number of times, one point will be deducted; if you hit it correctly, you will get one point." Gongdao Ge patted the reaction target affectionately and said: "When this thing was bought, it was very popular! Everyone lined up behind it. They fight one by one, comparing their results with each other, and want to see others bragging and getting slapped in the face. "
"What is the level of difficulty of level 10? How much can you hit?"
"The best professional boxers can hit level 10. I have reached the threshold of professional boxers after clearing level 8. But I am strong, so I have to hold back my strength to hit this, so I am a bit disadvantaged. It does not consider the strength, but only the frequency of punching, which is not friendly to people like me with long arms. In fact, there is a cheating method of stretching the arms all the time, but I restore the posture after each punch, so it is considered strict. "
"Let me try it." Zhuang Xuteng smiled and said, "Let's warm up with level 8 first."
"Haha, okay. You fight in the normal state first, and then try the training results. "
In the normal state, Zhuang Xuteng was eliminated by the level 8 difficulty before he finished half of the fight. His on-the-spot reaction is very fast and he can handle emergencies, but that reaction is not the same as fighting reaction. He wanted to test his true level, so he concentrated his mind, reduced the difficulty, and then hit a good result in the level 5 difficulty.
"If you train a little and get used to the equipment, it won't be a problem to pass level 6 within a week." Seeing Zhuang Xuteng frowning, Ge Gongdao said, "Don't think that level 6 is not good. You are already a strong player among amateurs. You can't expect to compete with those who have been training for years. Okay, let's try level 10 and show your real ability."
When the level 10 difficulty is activated, the target will play a passionate music. Although it only repeats a rhythm of ten seconds three times, it is deeply loved by everyone and is called a battle song.
When the battle song starts, everyone in the gym will look over and wait and see. If it was in the past, when the implant had not destroyed the boxing match, everyone would be more interested and would definitely come to watch. There were people cheering, some making jokes, and even betting.
Now there are only two words from Ge Gongdao: "Fight!"
The lights are flashing, position, number, and order. Zhuang Xuteng punches, punches, punches, kicks, controls balance, adjusts breathing, like a storm. He couldn't make a whirring sound when punching, his fist seemed a little soft, and there was no popping sound when hitting the sandbag. But he did this to reduce the force and speed up. As long as the counter confirmed that the hit was effective, he would retract his strength and prepare for the next punch.
This was a silent, fast and accurate punch, and the numbers on the scoring screen only went up, not down. Three minutes later, Zhuang Xuteng was only deducted two points, and this was because he deliberately threw two more punches at the last moment.
Ge Gongdao showed an expression of "as expected", and then reached out to unplug the power supply. It was too old and Dao Ge was too familiar with it. If he did this, the results in it would disappear and others would not know what happened. Ge Gongdao asked: "How does it feel?"
"Very strong, but also very weak." Zhuang Xuteng said: "What the master taught is very strong, but I am too weak. My arms are sore and painful now. It must be that the ability of the muscles in my arms can't keep up with the commands issued by the nerves."
"The master said that this martial art only increases the upper limit, but how much it can be used depends on the implant." Ge Gongdao touched his beard and said: "I had this feeling when I was in the restaurant before, as if my thinking was much faster, and the whole person was moving in the pool, and my body obviously couldn't keep up."
"I should take a knife." Zhuang Xuteng has already thought of a solution.
"I also need to buy some experimental mice." Ge Gongdao said.
"I also need to clean up the base of operations." Zhuang Xuteng rubbed his arm, squinted his eyes and smiled at Ge Gongdao: "Have you not cleaned for a long time?"
"By my standards, not long."
The two men worked separately. Ge Gongdao's task was to warm up the warehouse of the operations base before nightfall. Zhuang Xuteng is responsible for purchasing and updating the base's warehouse. He first made a few calls to ask about the situation at home, and then asked Boss Qian if he could get experimental mice and other sundries. Boss Qian said that this matter was not difficult, and the sales situation of the previous "batch of goods" was very good. They were almost sold out, so he made a lot of money.
Most of the money will be put into the big brother's company in round amounts, and the remaining part will be directly transferred to the card, which will probably be around 300,000 yuan.
Prioritize the purchase of good weapons and be careful about implants. These are the original words of the master. Hibernation and super computing martial arts are very suitable for mercenaries, but they also have huge limitations, that is, the user must have a good skin, or native skin.
Skin implants are the cheapest and the most popular type for mercenaries. Especially since most protective implants are on the skin layer, after all, what good would a fireproof bone implant do, right?
But following the path of hibernation and supercomputing, those skin implants that are anti-cutting, anti-penetration, fire-proof and anti-corrosion cannot be used. Some functional implants in subcutaneous locations also require caution, and the effects and surgical risks must be carefully weighed. Nowadays, Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao are in a very shameless state, and they cannot spend the "little money" in their hands.
The next primary target will definitely be muscle implants and organ implants. This category is very rare in the market, and we can only try our luck and look for opportunities. If you want to improve your real-time combat effectiveness, choosing a weapon that can better utilize your melee skills is the best choice.
Apart from gloves, there is no other option for Gongdao. But those gloves are not ordinary boxing gloves, because if you want to knock someone down, a pair of physical fists is enough. Ge Gongdao wanted to break the wall with his fists. He wanted electric accelerating gloves with self-power, and they had to be customized according to his body type.
Zhuang Xuteng does not have as severe obsessive-compulsive disorder as he does. He feels that any weapon is within the range of choices. Just from a functional perspective, weapons with piercing and cutting damage are more suitable for him. After all, when it comes to hammering and knocking, it is strength rather than skill that determines the effect.
A good knife is enough, and the knife must be good enough. Why do you say that? Just money to burn. Cheap knives are not worth the trouble. When Zhuang Xuteng talks about knives, he thinks of "clear springs". Of course, shadow weapons like Qingquan were priceless and unmarketable. Zhuang Xuteng just wanted to know what the best knife on the market looked like.
And completely exclude aesthetic considerations.
This kind of problem must still be brought to the boss Qian, and this is the first time he is in trouble. Most knives are more famous than functional, and their appearance is more important than practicality. If they really have any outstanding features, they have to be exchanged for gold coins of destiny. Boss Qian suggested that Zhuang Xuteng wait for a while. After the gasoline internal combustion engine company is established, the system of Baiqi Grocery Store will be rewarded. At that time, the destiny gold coins can be exchanged for some good knives that are beyond the current norm.
"Plasma knives, high vibration knives, vampire knives or soul-sucking knives... Judging from the perspective of destiny gold coins, these are quite cheap and are enough for you." Boss Qian understood Zhuang Xuteng's mood very well, so he suggested: "I Let me give you a simple cutting knife. It is made of good materials, well made, and easy to use. It has no other functions. "
This knife cost him 2,500 euros, almost all of which was the cost of the alloy material. Its metal part is twelve centimeters long, with a single edge, a groove from the tip to the blade, a thickened spine, an iron guard and a black non-slip grip... That's all the description of this knife. Boss Qian also gave him a whetstone and scabbard, and an extra strap so that Zhuang Xuteng could tie it to his body.
"One-year warranty, only replacement but not repair." Boss Qian's service is absolutely impeccable. As for the experimental mice, he has contacted the source of the supply, including a complete set of breeding boxes, which were obtained from an experimental company that was about to go bankrupt. He seriously warned Zhuang Xuteng that experimental mice cannot be pets because any affection will affect the original functions of experimental mice. Moreover, the lifespan of that kind of creature is too short. Except for those who like to constantly experience the sorrow of death, no one will choose it as a pet.
In this way, Zhuang Xuteng settled down for the time being, lying on the bed with his new knife and sleeping well. To be honest, he hasn't slept for three months. His daily rest is to soak in the pool, use dormant martial arts to transfer damage and repair his body. He doesn't dare to lose his mind for a moment. Well, although that can also restore your energy, the fun of sleeping itself is lost. Moreover, Zhuang Xuteng has not seen the Lich Master for a long time. Thinking about it this way, he still misses him a little.
