This is a brain connector.

Even with the knowledge that Hong Yi has learned before, he can't tell what this thing is, he only knows that this connector can be connected to a certain core network, and all the general skills are downloaded and learned from.

Because you can learn generic skills, many people refer to it as a 'skill' network, or a 'skill learning machine'.

It is said that before the catastrophe, there was a very large network in the human world, covering the whole world, and after the catastrophe, there were also networks between major gathering places to connect and communicate. Of course, the general skills that can be learned by different organizations are different, relatively speaking, the general skills learned in the Mercenary Association are very ordinary, and if it is the general skills of the Evolution Academy, they are much more powerful.

That's why Evolution Academy stands out from the crowd.

"The general skill learning device has been set up, and it can be directly connected to your lieutenant brain for use, and according to your mercenary contribution points, you can choose the range of general skills to be one-star skill 'Energy Release', one-star skill 'Hundred Battle Sword Technique', one-star skill 'Firearms Expert', one-star skill 'Skin Hardening', one-star skill 'Swift Running', two-star skill 'Energy Enhancement', and two-star skill 'Scaly Skin'." The beautiful hostess introduced them one by one.

"Among them, the most demanding are the two two-star skills, which require 103 contribution points for exchange, plus 50,000 Singapore dollars and 100 contribution points, 46,000 new dollars, of course, this is already the price after the discount, and the discount for D-level mercenaries is 9.8% off. For other one-star skills, the maximum redemption requirement is no more than 80 contribution points, and the lowest Gun Specialist only needs 30 contribution points to redeem. The words of the female receptionist made Hong Yi smile, the so-called firearms expert is actually a kind of implantable memory, in Hong Yi's opinion, this is not even a skill, but it can allow you to master the operation of most weapons on the market, and the relatively proficient use of these weapons is not useful at all for actual combat.

Hong Yi is comparing these skills one by one, first of all, energy release, which is one of the most frequently used general skills, and the two-star skill 'energy enhancement' belongs to the follow-up skill of 'energy release', just like a skill tree, you must master the former skill in order to learn the latter.

And the Hundred Battles Knife Technique is a melee knife technique, which is exactly what Hong Yi lacks, but the problem is that Hong Yi's melee ability cannot be made up for by a Hundred Battles Knife Technique.

Hardening of the skin and swift running, as the name suggests, one is to increase defense, and the other is to increase running speed.

It's just that in Hong Yi's opinion, no matter how strong the defense is, it is difficult to resist the minions of the mutants, no matter how fast you run, can you outrun the mutants?

So how to choose, Hong Yi has already had a score.

"I exchange one-star skills, energy release." Hong Yi said happily.

"Okay!" The female receptionist quickly set up a connector on the brain connector, and then inserted a wire into a socket in Adjutant Hong Yi's brain brain.

In an instant, the adjutant Zhi's brain began to give a hint and was connecting to the network.

Hong Yi didn't know that at the moment when his adjutant Zhi Brain connected to the core network, the core network suddenly crashed for three seconds.

In these three seconds, all the connections to the core network in several major human gathering places were interrupted, and even if they had the highest authority, a mysterious department in the No. 1 gathering place of human beings was at a loss.

"What's going on, how can the core network lose its responsiveness, this is something that has never happened before, check it out right away, and see what happened just now." An old man stood in the main control room, shouting loudly, anger written all over his face.

"I can't find it, all the records in the three seconds just now are all blank, and I can't find anything, it's like the core network is in a daze, maybe it's not serious!" A staff member said at this time.

"Daze? Do you think it's possible, you must know that it is Nuwa who controls the core network, the most advanced intelligent program in human history, and it is impossible for her to be in a daze, so I will ask her, what is going on! The old man continued, and with that, he fetched a computer himself, typed in a few commands, and soon, a phantom figure appeared on the screen.

This is a beautiful woman, with an almost perfect appearance, but she is expressionless, at this moment, a pair of eyes are staring at the old man, and a synthesized voice sounds: "Minister Yan, what's the matter?" ”

"Nuwa, what happened just now, why did the core network suddenly crash?" The old man asked impatiently.

The beautiful woman on the screen was still expressionless, and said in a synthetic female voice: "Minister Yan, your current blood pressure and heartbeat index are exceeding the standard, please relax and calm down, otherwise it will not be good for your body." ”

"I know, you don't need to say this, you can answer my question quickly." Minister Yan's voice was raised for a moment.

The beauty on the screen said a sentence that made Minister Yan stunned at this time: "Just like what Clerk Sun said just now, I was in a daze, this is my answer." ”

Obviously, Nuwa knew everything about what was going on here, and she had been pretending to be confused to ask what was going on, and from this point alone, she must have hidden something.

Minister Yan didn't ask anything in the end, but he knew that even if he asked again, it would be useless, and no one could force her if Nuwa didn't want to say it.

Others think that Nuwa is just an intelligent program that manages the core network, but in fact it is not that at all.

For human beings, Nuwa actually plays the role of a savior, and it can be said that human beings have survived until now, and Nuwa has played a major role, and this is a core secret, which is only known to very few people, including Minister Yan.

On the surface, he is the manager of the core network, and of course he can order Nuwa, the artificial intelligence, but he can't interfere with any of Nuwa's decisions, and when it comes to authority, even the top administrator of the No. 1 gathering place is not as good as Nuwa.

She controls the core network of several major gathering places, has the highest control authority of the battle robots, and even has the management authority of all general skills, which is only what Minister Yan knows, and does not know more.

It is no exaggeration to say that she holds the destiny of humanity in her hands.

So he didn't dare to question the answer given by Nuwa, and it was useless to question, to say a popular word, even if the other party lied to him, there was no place to reason.

It seems that this matter can only be fooled like this, Minister Yan rubbed his head a little painfully, thinking about how to write the next report.

On the other hand, Hong Yi has already begun to learn the 'energy release' skill.

The learning of skills can only be connected to the core network using the adjutant brain, of course, the hidden career data package skill tree in Hong Yi's brain is an exception.

At this moment, in Hong Yi's field of vision, there is a virtual woman, dressed in decent professional clothes, very eye-catching, if Minister Yan of the No. 1 gathering place sees her, he will definitely scream in surprise, because this virtual woman is exactly the same as Nuwa, the intelligent program of the core network.

Hong Yi, who has no idea about this, believes that this must be the artificial intelligence program of the core network.

"You chose the Energy Release Skill, so do you know what Energy Release means?" The intelligent program asked aloud at this time.

Hong Yi was stunned, he didn't expect this intelligent program to take the initiative to ask himself questions, according to the normal situation, shouldn't he directly guide himself to learn skills?

Maybe it's because the core network's intelligent programs are more advanced.

Hong Yi was a little puzzled, but still said: "Of course I know, the release of energy can activate special biological energy, which can be used to attack and defend with energy weapons." ”

"You're right, but it's not comprehensive, bio-energy is not something that can only be used through energy weapons, remember, the human body is the best carrier of bio-energy. In addition, bioenergy is also divided into levels, giving you a suggestion, wait a while to calm down in the process of inducing your own energy, often the highest level of bioenergy, will always be sensed at the end. After the female intelligence program finished speaking, she showed a smile that was not worth her life, and the next moment the surrounding scene changed, and Hong Yi entered the skill consciousness space.

"This smart program is quirky!" Hong Yi thought in his heart, the other party was simply teaching himself a lesson just now, could it be that others are also like this when they are learning skills?

This was just an episode, and Hong Yi got rid of distracting thoughts and began to sense energy. It's a very boring process, it's pitch black all around, and your mind can only wander aimlessly in this darkness, like a lonely boat floating in the endless sea.

In this deep consciousness space, there is no concept of time at all, and the time when a thought flashes through may be the same as hundreds of years.

This is the case with the skill of energy release, because it uses the energy of the body, so you have to sense it yourself. In this dark space of consciousness, there are many people who have taken years to sense energy.

This has a lot to do with the potential of a person, a person's potential is average, so as long as you sense a certain energy, you will immediately control it to leave, and some potential people will not touch the energy that appears at the beginning, as the female intelligence program said, advanced energy, will only appear later.

Hong Yi's consciousness wandered in this dark space for a full month, and finally saw a point of light appear in front of him, this point of light was the size of a fingernail, and he could reach out and grab it.

It's just that Hong Yi couldn't help but move, and let this point of light disappear, and then a few months passed, and Hong Yi encountered a second point of light. This point of light was the size of a fist, but Hong Yi still didn't move it.

In the second year, Hong Yi encountered a point of light the size of a human head, and he also pressed the impulse not to touch it.

Under normal circumstances, if a person's mind stays in this consciousness space for too long, it will lose itself, and at least it will cause confusion, or at worst, it will be lost forever and become a vegetative person.

Therefore, perceptual energy is also accompanied by a huge risk, the vast majority of people, when the first three energy light points appear, will choose to stop here, because no one knows, there is still energy behind, if not, then the consciousness will always fall into darkness, and the outside world will become a vegetative person.

Hong Yi let go of the third point of light, which was already a huge risk.

The next two years have passed directly, Hong Yi's consciousness is already a little blurry, a little confused, no matter who stays in the consciousness space for so long, he will not be stronger than Hong Yi.

Finally, a fourth point of light appeared, this point of light was the size of a car, and it was dazzling, and it actually illuminated half of the black consciousness space.

Hong Yi almost couldn't help but invest in this point of light, but at this moment, his consciousness cleared up a little, and his intuition told him that this was not his limit. Somehow, the words of the female intelligence program appeared again, which made Hong Yi's already outstretched hand forcibly retract.
