Chapter 111: Gold Shines Wherever It Is

Compared to the Azure Dragon Armor, the Starblade Armor had more features. It was designed for more complex hypothetical enemy combat conditions, so when assessing a single soldier’s strength, there were more influencing factors to consider. It was no longer like the old Azure Dragon Armor, which only evaluated combat ability.

Since humanity still could not determine in what form the hypothetical enemy would appear, humanity could only simulate the upcoming cross-civilization war through various hypothetical scenarios.

The main training aspects for a Starblade Armor Warrior could be divided into two major parts.

First, comprehensive training from piloting to basic combat skills conducted in the training grounds of major bases.

Second, entering the Neural Link capsule, and completing simulation training one after another in a holographic simulation state, facing different hypothetical enemies, different scenarios, and different missions.

In this vast ocean of a simulation training library, human imagination was pushed to its limits. They needed to face over a hundred thousand different alien civilizations.

There were many types of simulation missions, including individual soldier infiltration, ambush, rescue, escort, and many other situations. Of course, there were also small-scale special squad operations and army-wide simulations held periodically, presenting the galactic wars between civilizations.

Every time a warrior participated in simulation training, the Central AI would assess the warrior’s overall performance and give a score.

The data in the holographic simulation training corresponded almost one hundred percent with the real world. It could completely replicate the warrior’s physical condition and the warrior’s own Starblade Armor operating level, then create a one-to-one model.

The data warrior generated by the final modeling was completely consistent with the state the warrior themselves showed in the training base.

Considering both parts of the training overall, the summary was as follows.

A warrior improved their operating skills in daily training and trained their comprehensive ability to complete missions in holographic simulation training.

Chen Feng had just completed his basic theoretical studies with excellent grades in three days and was about to enter daily training.

“I admit your academic ability and memory slightly exceeded my expectations. Next, I will hand you over to them. You can contact me through the private communication system if you have any questions.”

Dr. Ouyang brought Chen Feng to the training ground and said this.

“Hello, Corporal Chen Feng. I am your personal Starblade Armor trainer, Ye Luming. I will be in charge of your training from now on.”

A tall man stood in front of Chen Feng, speaking with a stern expression.

Chen Feng was very polite and wanted to shake hands. “Thank you, Instructor Ye.”

“Don’t misunderstand,” Ye Luming did not extend his hand, only looked coldly at Chen Feng. “The reason you have a personal trainer is not because the higher-ups value you highly. It’s a military tradition. Every soldier who has just put on the Starblade Armor can receive two weeks of one-on-one training from a veteran. But I will also only waste two weeks on you. Once the time is up, I will immediately return to my own training. As for you, how much you learn depends on your own ability. If you still don’t understand something later, figure it out yourself in the Simulator.”

“I see. Still, thank you, Instructor Ye.” Chen Feng said cheerfully, completely indifferent to the other’s coldness.

Ye Luming took Chen Feng to the inner side of the training ground, passed through an energy Barrier, and then took out a case. “Take this. This is your personal Starblade Armor. Before you complete your training and achieve a D-grade evaluation in the Simulator, you are not qualified to apply for any function expansion packs.”

“Alright.”

While the two were having this brief exchange, quite a few people nearby stopped what they were doing and gathered around.

“Oh, so this is the new recruit Chen Feng who supposedly broke all physical test parameters?”

“He doesn’t look that special.”

“He looks a bit like Master Chen Feng.”

“Who?”

“A composer from a thousand years ago, the enlightening mentor of Master Zhong Lei.”

“Ohhh, yeah, there is some resemblance.”

“Buddy, I should give you a heads-up. Don’t get complacent with the Starblade Armor’s familiarization training just because your physical test data is good. Don’t rush later, slowly increase performance bit by bit, otherwise you can easily strain your body. No matter how badly you’re injured, the Atomic Therapy Device can save you, but you definitely don’t want to experience that feeling.”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

Too many people gathered around. Ye Luming lost his temper. “Are you teaching him or am I? Chen Feng, you pay attention. I’m only guiding you for two weeks. Next, I’ll teach you the basic movements of walking, running, and jumping. If you don’t learn them within two weeks…”

Whoosh!

Chen Feng had already dashed out.

He was being low-key. Although he could already handle 50G in the Azure Dragon Armor, considering the Starblade Armor was new equipment, for his first starting run, he only set the parameter limit at 10G.

He needed to quickly grasp the differences in using the two types of equipment.

Fortunately, although the materials and principles of the two Individual Combat Armors were vastly different, the basic force feedback assistance followed the same lineage.

Just like someone who rides a bicycle well learns electric scooters quickly, Chen Feng achieved a seamless transition between using the two Individual Combat Armors.

After all, he was no ordinary Azure Dragon Armor operator “back then.”

He was top-tier. He was a king.

Jump, propulsion mode.

The feeling of propulsion at 10G was also completely fine.

He began to circle in the air, then landed, switching back to running mode.

Ye Luming caught up. “What are you doing! Stop! Are you crazy!”

Chen Feng turned his body sideways, continuing to run while greeting him. “Instructor Ye, I’ll explore on my own first. You seem very busy, so I won’t waste your time.”

Speed increase! 15G!

Great, still handling it perfectly.

20G!

Seeing him increase speed by 5G each time, Ye Luming was scared out of his wits.

Although he spoke arrogantly.

When Tang Tianxin assigned Chen Feng to him, she had personally and earnestly instructed him to take good care of this new recruit.

To figure out a way to suppress the new recruit’s arrogance and make Chen Feng obedient, Ye Luming had made many preparations in advance. Start coldly, then find an appropriate opportunity to casually tell the other party that he and General Tang were the only two Awakened ones at the base.

With you, there are three of us at the base now.

Then Chen Feng would surely admire him sincerely, making the teaching work much easier.

He had prepared many sets of persuasive words, intending to lead Chen Feng into the trap step by step. This was a well-developed concept from educational psychology.

But he didn’t expect Chen Feng to completely go off-script.

Which new recruit, during their first practical training wearing the Starblade Armor, would be so reckless like him?

Who wouldn’t be trembling, afraid of making a mistake?

Ye Luming decided to increase speed to catch up and make this guy settle down.

Vroom!

Ye Luming increased the performance of his Starblade Armor to 30G, just enough to catch up with Chen Feng, who had already increased to 25G.

Just as he was about to grab Chen Feng, Chen Feng increased to 30G.

The distance between them stopped closing and was maintained.

Ye Luming increased speed further, 35G!

Then Chen Feng rushed to 40G.

Ye Luming was dumbfounded.

His own highest record was a stable handling of 39.3G. Higher than that carried significant risk.

But to catch Chen Feng, he gritted his teeth and also pushed to 40G!

Then he slowly increased it bit by bit.

When he reached 40.3G, he could already hear the sound of his muscle fibers tearing.

Then, in one breath, Chen Feng rushed to 50G.

Looking at Chen Feng’s figure leaving everyone far behind in the dust, Ye Luming broke down.

The others were also completely stunned.

The large training ground fell silent, leaving only the sound of Chen Feng cutting through the wind.

After a long while, Chen Feng stopped.

He asked Ye Luming, “Instructor Ye, roughly how much do I need to train to get a D-grade evaluation?”

Ye Luming was utterly bewildered, roaring hoarsely, “You’re a madman! Why is your focus still on a D-grade? Have you really never touched the Starblade Armor before? I don’t believe it. I absolutely don’t believe it!”

Chen Feng retorted, “Isn’t it written clearly in my personal file?”

Ye Luming nodded and swallowed.

Indeed, Chen Feng was a new recruit from the Slums with no background. It was impossible for him to have accessed the Starblade Armor early.

So there was only one answer.

He, without a doubt, was about to become the weakest Awakened one in the entire base.

This guy seemed to exist for the Starblade Armor.

He was a freak.

This learning ability to master it immediately was too unbelievable.
