Chapter VII: Basic Training

Gossip aside. The next night, Zhuo Yong and Tsuzi went to the Dream Rider's headquarters together, and when they entered the hall, they found Schenk and Emma already waiting in the hall. After a brief conversation, the two brothers followed Schenk and Emma to a room on the sixth floor, this room should not be large, the reason why it is uncertain is because this room is all white, as if entering a white holy realm, the dazzling white around makes it impossible to distinguish the boundary between the ceiling and the wall, everything seems to be close at hand, but out of reach. And there is a large instrument in the room. The device resembles a carousel in an amusement park, with a huge cylinder in the center, the top of which is spread out in all directions, connected to six chaise longues arranged in a semicircle outside the cylinder.

"This machine will lead your mind into another dimension, where you will learn some basic things, such as kung fu, shooting, and so on," Schenck said. After saying that, Schenck instructed Zhuo Yong and Zhuozi to sit in the recliner and asked them to put on their glasses and helmets. Emma then walked to the back of the instrument and began to operate. It didn't take long for the two of them to start playing quickly inside their glasses, and in the picture, all kinds of kung fu were playing like fast-forward movies, and Zhuo Yong saw that there were karate, judo, tai chi, Muay Thai and so on...... The strange thing is that although the picture is quickly skimmed, every move and style are clearly imprinted in Zhuo Yong's mind, it seems that the current technology is much more advanced than that of "The Matrix" at that time, at least without a few big needles inserted into his brain.

I don't know how long it took, the picture stopped, this series of pictures seemed to have passed a century so long, in today's words, the amount of information is too much, Zhuo Yong and Zhuo Zi seem to have done a lot of strenuous exercise, panting like a cow, and the scenes they saw just now are still flashing in their minds.

Seeing that the two had finished studying, Emma did not stop the device to get them up, but gave them plenty of time to rest, and when their breathing gradually subsided, she raised her hand to signal that Schenck was okay. The latter was allowed to sit in a chaise longue and put on his glasses and helmet. At this time, the figure of Schenk appeared in Zhuo Yong's field of vision, and with a wave of his hand, the place where the three people were immediately transformed into the appearance of a martial arts dojo.

Schenck put his hands behind his back and said: "Okay, look at the condition of the two of you, you have basically recovered, and then I will further guide you, in order not to make you feel strange, so I set the scene here to be the same as the place where Morpheus took Neo to train in "The Matrix", but I will not fight against you like Morpheus, because although you have learned a lot of martial arts now, those things are still only in your brains in the form of images, It doesn't happen overnight to become proficient in using them, you still need to digest them, you need to understand them, and that's why I'm here, and I'm going to share with you what I've learned from my training. As he spoke, Schenk suddenly kicked a high leg at the pouch, which would have been a hit if he had usually done it, but now it was different, he first stretched out his hands and stood on the left side of his face, but for some reason he suddenly retracted his right hand, and then he lifted his left leg like in Muay Thai. At this time, Schenk's foot kicked the left arm of the man, and the kick was so strong that the kick staggered a few steps to the right before he could barely stabilize his body.

He stood up straight and asked with some displeasure, "What do you mean?" ”

Schenck stretched out his hands to indicate not to be angry, and then continued: "Your kid's strength is not bad, you can catch my high leg, but the point is that you don't think your action just now is very awkward, this is because you have learned a lot of martial arts, the tricks are a little mixed, for the same kind of attack, the defensive methods of each martial art are different, so you don't know what kind of defensive action to use at the moment of attack, this is what you need to practice, and you can only digest it yourself, others can't help you, But I can give you a direction to think about and train, which is to use your subconscious to complete the movements, give the body to the heart, and let the heart control your movements. The first reaction is to play whatever it looks like, and don't have other distractions, that's what I learned when I first trained. Okay, that's basically it for martial arts, let's move on to the next step. ”

After saying that, Schenk waved his hand, and the surrounding environment became a shooting range again, he said: "You two had a dream before, it was a sniper in the special forces to carry out a decapitation mission, I watched the performance of the two of you, and I feel that you still have a certain understanding and understanding of shooting, but as the saying goes, sharpshooters are fed with bullets, which means that no matter how talented you are, no matter how much you play the game, you have to practice diligently." Come on, let's start with the basics. After speaking, Schenck taught Zhuo Yong and Zhuo Yong the shooting essentials hand-in-hand.

Although Schenck's teaching is only a few simple words, it is undoubtedly a talk of experience, Zhuo Yong and Lizi understand Schenck's intentions, because no matter how good the experience is, it must vary from person to person, and if you want to make things your own, you have to spend more time digesting and comprehending, and then you can have your own feelings or experiences. So in the dream of the next few days, Zhuo Yong practiced desperately with the son. After just a few days, the two of them were already able to tie with Schenk. This Schenck was shocked, because there were only a handful of people who could integrate martial arts and shooting in just four days, although not the fastest, but they were also the best among the newcomers.

Several people fought for a while, Schenk seemed a little overdrawn, just now he had a martial arts competition with Zhuo Yong and Zhuo Zi respectively, at this time he was already panting and sitting on the ground resting, although tired, but from his eyes and expressions can still see a little relief. After a pause, Schenk said, "It's really surprising that four days can come to this point, but this situation is also expected, after all, you two are saints......"

Zhuo Yong asked, "What is a saint, isn't he a dreamer?" ”

Schenck shook his head: "Oh, I shouldn't have told you so early, but seeing that the two of you are training so seriously, it means that you are still working hard, and it doesn't hurt if I want to say it." The saints I just mentioned are our hierarchy of newcomers, do you remember the first test you took when you came to the headquarters, do you remember your values? ”

The 2478 and 2865 brothers reported their own values.

Schenk took a big sip of water, nodded and continued: "This value represents the amount of subconscious you have developed, the higher the value, the more you develop, the greater your ability and potential. Those above 2,000 are called saints, those above 1,000 are called wise men, and those under 1,000 are called diligent people. More than 3,000 are called saints, but from the beginning of the formation of the Dream Bearers to the present, there are only a few saints, it can be said that there are almost none, and saints are extremely rare in us. …… But the two of you can't relax because of this, after joining the Dream Holder, through hard work, everyone's potential will be improved to varying degrees, and you are only a little higher than the starting point of the wise and diligent people. ”

The boy began to smile: "Hey, how much did you measure?" ”

Schenck smiled and replied, "1356." ”

The boy began to be proud: "Oh, wise man, I will think more about the two of us when there are good things in the future, come to the saint to take you and pretend to take you to fly." "Apparently Schenck has taken Schenck as one of his own.

Schenk's smile deepened, he didn't care, and after calming his breath, he wanted to try again with the picker, and the picker immediately raised his hands and said, "Don't, I'm playing with you, why take it seriously." Schenk shook his head, his right palm upwards, four fingers bent a few times, and let Zhuo Yong attack him in all the ways he could think of. The two hesitated, seeing that Schenck didn't look like angry or joking. Zhuo Yong looked at Schenk, and after a brief eye contact, the two began to besiege Schenk.

At this time, Schenk didn't mean to make a move, he stretched his arm forward, snapped his fingers, and then stopped making any movements, although Zhuo Yong and Schenko didn't know what he did, but they still launched a storm of punches and kicks against him according to his instructions, but neither of their attacks hit the target, as if there was a transparent wall that enveloped Schenk, forming an invisible absolute defense. The man stopped, pulled Zhuo Yong away, and then took out his pistol and was about to shoot, this action was too fast Zhuo Yong didn't react at all, the word "don't" was still in his throat, and the gunshot had already sounded. Zhuo Yong immediately turned his head to look at Schenk, but at the same time as the gunshot, Schenck disappeared all of a sudden, and Zhuo Yong looked around, only to find that Schenck had appeared behind the man. After firing the shot, he knew that he had lost, and raised his hands to show surrender. Only Zhuo Yong is still in the clouds.

He pouted and asked, "Comrade Schenk, let me explain, how did you do it just now?" ”

Schenk seemed to be much more relaxed this time, as he was finally able to return to his usual combat mode. Schenk replied: "I told you before, martial arts and shooting are fundamental, everyone has to learn, but the real use in actual combat is not very great, when you really fight in a dream, the test is not the level of martial arts, the quality of marksmanship, but the test of spiritual potential and the speed of reaction." As I said before, dreamers have the ability to change their own dreams and those of others, and in dreams we can fight as we please. For example, if the opponent conjures a sword, you can conjure a shield to block, and if the opponent conjures a pistol, you can conjure body armor, and in general, as long as you can imagine, it can be achieved in a dream. But you need to practice diligently, because most of the time it's not something you can think of and use it proficiently. Usually we will choose a most suitable attack method for ourselves to practice, for example, if you are suitable for melee, then you must practice more in melee combat, have reached a breakthrough in speed, strength, etc., if you use melee today, tomorrow with long-range attacks, then you will, but each of them can not be called a killer weapon, so that if you meet an opponent who specializes in training an attack, even if the opponent's potential is not as strong as yours, then he is bound to defeat you. Therefore, it is very important to choose your own direction according to your different potentials in the battle in the dream world, and then you must follow a rule, that is, it is more important than the fine, not too much. ”

Zhuo Yong and Zhuo Zi stared blankly, and Zhuo Yong asked, "You... Does it mean that in the dream, everyone fights with their minds? Then I imagine myself as Superman, isn't that invulnerable? ”

Schenck waved his hand: "Of course not, if the other party perceives your thoughts, he can turn his fist or bullet into the material of krypton crystal, then you are not invulnerable." In short, no idea or trick can be 100% effective, and it needs to be constantly changed to make the other party unable to start. ”

"For example, if two people shoot at the same time, what if two people have the same idea and use the same tricks?" ”

Schenk thought for a moment and replied: "This kind of situation is relatively rare, usually when they are not equal, they will immediately change their minds, if they really have to compete, it must be the person with strong potential who wins." For example, if two people shoot and the bullets collide, then the bullets of the person with great potential will hit the other person's bullets and continue to hit the target. The principle is the same as in the comic "Grim Reaper" in which a person with a strong spirit can defeat his opponent. ”

At this time, Zhuo Zi and Zhuo Yong have fallen into deep thought, indeed as Schenk said before, in the face of this ability, marksmanship, martial arts can indeed only be regarded as the foundation, and even if your potential and imagination are fast enough and strong enough, you don't even need martial arts and marksmanship at all, just use the ideas in your head to knock down the opponent. However, it is not easy to use your potential quickly and flexibly in battle, and it takes a lot of time to practice...... Imagination alone is enough to daunt people.

At this time, he suddenly asked: "I said Schenk, there are two problems, the first is that the enemy of our Dream Bearer should be the Void Wanderer, I remember you said that the Void Wanderer is fighting on their own, so they have not been systematically trained like our Dream Holder, right?" The second question is, what happens if we fail in a dream? Will it be injured, or even killed? ”

Schenck patted his head: "Oops, these are two important questions, and I forgot to explain them if you don't say it:

First, most of the virtual wanderers are indeed fighting on their own, and they have not been systematically practiced like ours, but the definition of the virtual wanderer is that people who maliciously change other people's dreams, that is, they have been able to manipulate other people's dreams according to their own wishes, so they are all capable of using their potential to fight, and the strength of combat power varies from person to person. But don't worry, most of the virtual wanderers can only use their potential initially, such as conjuring a gun to fight you, conjuring a car to escape, etc., there are not many virtual wanderers who want to quickly use the changeable potential to fight, and most of them will basically restrain their behavior in order to avoid fighting with the dream holder.

Second, you will not be in any danger in your dream space, in your own dream world, even if you are seriously injured, even if you only have one breath left, you will be safe and sound when you wake up, which is a kind of self-protection of the body. But after you enter someone else's dream, you will really get hurt and die, but if you can return to your dream in time while you are still breathing, then it will be safe, at least in reality you will not die. ”

He pouted and said helplessly: "I've heard of fire, smoke, urine, and." What kind of escape do you use, Mu Dun - the technique of opening the door and going home? Then you don't need to practice anything else, you can practice this technique well, and if you can't beat it, go back and come back again, and resurrect it with full blood in an instant. ”

Schenck was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't fully understand what he said, he thought for a while before saying, "Uh...... Poor, almost. Anyway, remember that in a critical moment, just open the door and return to your dreams. However, there are few such times, and the Dream Bearer is usually two people who carry out a mission, so that they can make up for each other's lack of speed and imagination, and defeat is rare, you can rest assured. In addition, as you said, it is not feasible to shuttle back and back again, after you shuttle back to your dream, you must wake up from the dream, and the body will recover to health, and when you enter the dream again and shuttle back, it takes too much time, and the other party should have done what it should have done, so this method of shuttling back to your dream can only be used at the end of the battle, or when the situation is very critical, and cannot become a tactical tactic. Okay, so ...... Then let's start practicing."

Zhuo Yong interjected: "Wait a while, you just said that we can only ensure safety by shuttling back to our dreams when we encounter danger, which means that we will lose protection after leaving our dreams?" Does that mean that when we shuttle away from our dreams, it is equivalent to the separation of thinking and reality? ”

Schenk nodded, meaning that Zhuo Yong was right, Zhuo Yong continued to ask: "In the dream, we can freely control whether we wake up or not, so what if we shuttle to other people's dreams, and the ** in reality needs to wake up by some external stimulus, such as an alarm clock, a phone, or someone calling?" ”

Schenk laughed: "Ang, I only understood what you mean after talking for a long time, in fact, it is not very appropriate to say that thinking and ** are separated, because no matter which person's dream you are in, as long as there is a stimulus in reality that requires you to wake up, you will hear or feel it in the dream, but you can't wake up directly from other people's dreams, you need to return to your own dreams." If there is a battle or mission that cannot be withdrawn for a while, there is no need to rush, because one minute in reality is equivalent to dozens of minutes in a dream, and with the combat speed at which we can exert our potential, ten minutes is enough to complete the battle, so there is no need to worry about this, even if it is really too late, you can call for support by radio, and then you can leave. Zhuo Yong nodded, indicating that he understood, and it seemed that he should be more worried about the battle in the dream than the impact in reality.
