Chapter 459: Chapter 234: The 4th Person in the Dorm
Seeing Bing Su’s proud expression, Mu Fan couldn’t help but ponder, had his own thinking been too shallow?
Bing Su lifted her face and blurted out, “It’s definitely speed, if you can’t beat me, you can still outrun me, haha~~”
Even the thought made her unwittingly laugh out loud, but then Bing Su suddenly remembered the silly-looking boy sitting on the ground watching her, so she forced her face back into seriousness.
“Cough cough, that was just a joke. What I mean, don’t you see, speed is so important, it can catch the opponent off guard, and if facing an unbeatable opponent, it still leaves you the chance to start over again!”
Bing Su tried hard not to let Mu Fan see the nervousness on her face, her ‘Rose’ personality wouldn’t show her timid side to others.
Mu Fan’s eyes grew brighter, and his cheeks puffed up as he spread his hands wide, then his right hand subconsciously clenched and swung a fist.
Exactly!
This enthusiastic Senior Sister is so right!
If I can’t beat them, I can run away, and furthermore, speed enhances all the moves I currently know.
Didn’t you see all my powerful moves performed under conditions of exceeding the opponent’s speed?
And that Beng Finger had been so devastatingly powerful due to the stacking of Derivative Skills from the Charging Step!
Absolutely perfect!
Bing Su watched Mu Fan’s eyes grow increasingly radiant and unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
Looks like he absorbed the latter part of my explanation.
Hahaha~
He definitely didn’t catch my first sentence.
A smug smile silently appeared on the goddess Rose’s face.
At that moment, Mu Fan looked up at Bing Su again and eagerly asked, “With speed then, what comes next, defense or attack?”
Iron and Beng Finger—he found himself torn once again.
Hearing this diligent Swordsmanship Club honorary member’s inquiry, Bing Su almost bubbled with joy, and she arrogantly lifted her head.
“Do you even need to ask? It’s definitely defense, for keeping the green hill alive means never fearing the loss of firewood! Standing last is the real winner.”
Upon saying this, an unspeakably traumatic scene emerged in Bing Su’s mind—her Sword Dancer mecha being mercilessly abused by a huge iron ball.
If only my mecha was as tough as a dog, you wouldn’t be able to bully me like that!
Thinking this made flames seem to flicker in Bing Su’s eyes.
This caused Mu Fan, who had been intently listening, to shudder, but he couldn’t suppress his excitement and exclaimed, “Brilliant!”
Mu Fan clapped his hands on the ground and somersaulted to stand in front of Bing Su, now half a head taller than her.
This sudden move startled Bing Su, who had been deep in her thoughts; she cautiously stepped back, her fists raised defensively.
With a fierce facade, she said, “What are you trying to do! This is the Sword Dao Club!”
Mu Fan hadn’t paid attention to Bing Su’s words, instead, his mind repetitively visualized the scenario of initiating Iron while in Charging Step.
If first utilizing the Charging Step to create momentum and then activating Iron, that would be like having a mecha’s Iron Fist’s striking power.
That’s like turning defense into attack.
Absolutely perfect!
“Senior Sister is truly a genius!”
Mu Fan exclaimed excitedly.
Huh?
Bing Su’s eyes widened, and Mu Fan’s comment made her back up half a step.
“Hahaha, I’ve figured it out, thanks for enlightening me, Senior Sister!”
Mu Fan scratched his head and burst into laughter, then excitedly performed two backflips.
Crazy…
Bing Su glanced at the door, her feet involuntarily moving towards it while she kept a cheerful facade, “Haha, right, I’m glad I could help. Are you going to continue training? Then go ahead, just make sure to turn off the power when you leave. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head out now, bye~”
Bing Su’s long legs were about to stride out.
“Alright!” the voice boomed like a lion’s roar, resonating loudly.
The roar shocked Bing Su into dashing out.
Now, Mu Fan’s eyes were completely lit up.
His thought process was crystal clear!
The first move to master would be… Charging Step!
Once he genuinely mastered Charging Step, he could start training the fifth move, Iron.
That settles it!
Mu Fan’s eyes sparkled as he gazed at the row of lunchboxes on the ground.
Both hands scooped up, mouth wide open.
Ah~~~
The sizzling rice was all poured into Mu Fan’s gaping mouth.
He forcefully swallowed it in three tries.
Satisfied, he let out a burp and pressed the cleaning robot button.
The door of the combat room was open, and Mu Fan felt that he had learned enough for the day and could go back to have a good sleep.
Picking up the Light Computer helmet from the ground, Mu Fan gently tapped it against his teeth.
“Black, starting tomorrow, I’ll begin strength and speed training. How do we make the flexible weighted clothing Instructor Mo mentioned?”
After waiting about 2 seconds, Black’s voice appeared:
“The old thing shared the data with me before he went to sleep. His mysterious consciousness energy is bizarre, being able to sleep even in virtual space. Now, only you can willingly get him to cough up the good stuff.”
Hearing this, Mu Fan curiously asked, “Have you never seen the stuff Instructor Mo has before?”
“No, how could I have seen them? His race is mysterious, and some of the unusual phenomena they create are beyond analysis. If something like that appeared in this world, it would easily be called extraterrestrial technology.”
“So how do we produce this flexible weighted clothing?”
“This old thing, he’s gained the attention of my carrier, I knew he was up to no good!”
Huh?
What did Black suddenly mean by that?
“Tomorrow during the day, go again to the Blue Capital Star Construction Commercial Bank, and in the safe, activate my carrier. I will get you a piece of soft gallium metal, which is key for making the flexible weighted clothing.”
Mu Fan turned off the power in the Gravity Room and asked, “Then what?”
“Then go to a metal processing factory. I found one nearby called Chade Metal Refining Factory, it’s owned by the Gaoling Family. It’s actually under Gaoling Ze’s name, his father secured it for him. You just need to infiltrate and use your wristwatch to touch their central control since the factory’s equipment isn’t networked and needs a physical connection via the wristwatch.”
Gaoling Ze? That’s completely guilt-free then.
“What’s the security like?”
“Pretty high, but I’ll coordinate with you. With your skills, it shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Good, also, has the Gaoling Family’s communication surveillance picked up any crucial information?”
“Not at all. It’s just his gang of rascal friends coming and going. His Sky Communication is filled with nothing but wooing girls and inviting friends over. The villa’s surveillance coverage is limited, and special places even have electromagnetic shielding, so it’s hard to capture private conversations.”
Mu Fan nodded, then suddenly asked, “If we infiltrate that factory, can we do some sabotage?”
“No problem, it’s all heavy equipment, you can’t damage it. Just leave it to me after hacking into their central control.”
“Alright, then we start tomorrow night.”
Mu Fan couldn’t wait a moment longer to start his training and take the first step beyond human limits.
Casually turning off the power in the room, he stepped out of the combat room in complete darkness.
Passing by the central arena, Mu Fan saw Bing Su, with her hair in a ponytail, instructing the cute girl Xi Xi.
“Hi~”
Cheerful Mu Fan waved his hand.
“Ah!~”
She must be insane!
Bing Su suddenly turned away to avoid Mu Fan’s gaze, her hand shaking a bit too hard, causing Xi Xi’s training sword to recoil painfully in her wrist, making her whine immediately.
Tears almost escaped Xi Xi’s eyes as she looked discontentedly at Bing Su.
“Senior Sister Susu, what are you doing!”
“Ha, I’m grasping the Swordsmanship Heart, that feeling of expelling a turbid breath as Sword Heart Clarity, you’re too young to understand!”
“Oh, but someone was greeting you over there… uh, you stepped on me.”
Xi Xi’s foot was swiftly stepped on by Bing Su.
“Senior Sister’s realm is so high, truly a role model to aspire to,” Mu Fan said with admiration.
With her back turned, Bing Su indifferently pointed towards the entrance, signaling that Mu Fan could leave.
Such high elegance…
With a tsk, Mu Fan left with his helmet.
Meanwhile, in the academy’s residential area, in the apartment where Mu Fan, the voyeur, and White Hair had lived, a “uninvited guest” suddenly appeared today, or more precisely—
their never-before-seen fourth roommate showed up!
Li Xiaoxi stood nervously aside, with a small device in her hand, secretly snapping photos at an invisible speed.
Above Yin Shuai’s head, White Hair stood proudly, like a dyed cockerel stationed at the door, looking across at the young man with an extraordinary demeanor and a faint smile on his face.
Behind him followed… four silent yet imposing men in suits.
“Don’t be nervous, roommates.”
