Chapter 168 You still say you don’t
Lan Diao smiled and stood up as well. "When I first met you, I thought you were very cold. You hardly talked, and even though you had a smile on your face, I could sense the distance between you. You were polite yet distant."
"But after getting to know you more, I found that you are easy to get along with, not arrogant, and you can even joke around occasionally."
Zuo Xiuyan picked up the bag he had put down earlier and walked out: "Humans are essentially multi-faceted pyramids. You can only see one side at a time. If you turn to other angles, you will discover new sides. Some sides will never even be revealed to people."
“But only a multifaceted existence can constitute a three-dimensional and complete person.”
She looked at the expressions and movements of the people around her as she walked around: "Different ways of combining will form different people. Guessing what the other sides are by looking at one side is what I find interesting."
Blues became more curious and pointed at himself: "What about me? You didn't guess me, did you?"
"How could that be? I don't have the ability to read minds." Zuo Xiuyan shook his head, "I understand less than one percent of you."
"I can only construct a rough outline of a person based on my feelings and experience. The details can only be obtained after in-depth conversations and long-term observation of their behavior."
Lan Diao shrugged and put his hands in his pockets: "I think your general framework may be different from what I think of as a framework."
Just like... during the exam that day she said that her abilities were very weak and she was lacking in this or that.
Like… today in class she said she was trying to finish and it was taking too long.
Xu Yan's standards for herself have always been different from those for others.
And she regards such high standards as ordinary!
Don't trust her completely! You will be led into a pit!
One percent?
Probably about 10 percent, right?
Blues thought about it.
If your general impression of a person is: this person is listless, speaks weakly, looks very tired, and is in a bad mood.
The general framework in Xu Yan's eyes might be: Are the wrinkles on the clothes caused by being pressed at the bottom of the closet, or by not changing for a few days? Is the condition caused by the pressure of life during this period, or is it a long-term living habit? What is the purpose of what he said? Why did he say that? How does it relate to his previous experiences?
Huh...can she really read minds?
It is not the kind of magical illusion that can see through people's hearts at a glance, but the result of analysis after careful consideration.
However, if she continued to think this way, it was only a matter of time before she knew it.
"How terrible." Blues murmured.
"I don't think about those things all the time. I also need to rest." Zuo Xiuyan said.
Blues' eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.
My first and second sentences don't really match, but you know what I'm talking about.
"You still say you don't have the ability to read minds?"
Zuo Xiuyan chuckled: "No."
"I believe it." Blues nodded seriously, then chuckled, "I'll take you to dinner."
"Okay, wait for my reply."
Zuo Xiuyan opened the bracelet and typed in a few words: "Time, place."
[Lingyun Jiuxiao]: "The car will pick you up at 3 o'clock."
Zuo Xiuyan had an idea in mind.
By 2: in the afternoon, all my classes were over.
"Let's go." Zuo Xiuyan said.
With Blues leading the way, the two headed to the cafeteria.
It is a four-story building with a very spacious interior and simple yet futuristic decoration.
The food inside is common or uncommon in the market, imaginable or unimaginable, there is all kinds of it, and it is dazzling.
"Don't pick it today, come here." Blues took a few steps, not to the window, but to a very large area.
Looking around, all kinds of prepared foods, fruits, and snacks were served in containers.
There is also a screen in front of each machine that holds food, which displays various data such as calories, recommended grams of consumption, nutritional parameters, etc.
"This time it's a buffet and you have to cook it yourself." Blues smiled.
"Okay." Zuo Xiuyan walked in with a smile.
I looked around and was about to find a seat, but I saw that many people didn't even bother to eat their meals. They were looking into a corner, discussing something with each other, and the sound of counting could be heard.
Looking over there, I saw a girl with twin ponytails and wearing a white short-sleeved shirt that exposed her belly button.
She sat alone at the table, concentrating on eating, and she almost left a shadow.
There were piles of plates in front of her, like pillars leaning against the table, almost hiding her figure.
"Has it been half an hour since you ate?"
"One hundred and eight, one hundred and nine..."
"I think she can reach at least 200..."
"Is her stomach a bottomless pit?"
"What a fuss." The person next to him calmly ate his food. "She has been like this for the past month. It's nothing new after seeing her so many times."
"One month? Every day?" everyone exclaimed.
"Take whatever you want to eat quickly. Once she finishes eating, you'll have to wait for a long time before new dishes are served." The man said earnestly, seeming to be deeply touched.
Hearing this, Zuo Xiuyan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Did this person's special ability cause some abnormal changes in his body?
But I didn't pay much attention to it. I just picked some simple food and found an empty place to sit down.
Lan Diao sat opposite him: "I've already eaten, so I won't eat anymore. When you're done, we can go to class. There's no need to rush, it doesn't start until 11 o'clock."
Zuo Xiuyan nodded.
Next was the combat training class, and I didn’t dare eat too much as it was difficult to digest.
I chewed slowly and took a few bites, and then I finished this small plate.
Just as I stood up to pay the bill and was about to leave, I heard a shout from behind: "Hey, wait a minute!"
Zuo Xiuyan did not look back. After a while, someone patted his arm. He stopped and looked, and saw that it was the girl with the ponytails next to him.
"You finally came to the base." She sounded very familiar.
"you are?"
"Oh, you don't know me yet, just call me Lao Sun."
Zuo Xiuyan was slightly stunned. It was quite rare to see a girl calling him like that.
"You must be going to the combat class. I happen to be going with you. Let's go." The girl with twin ponytails came to the middle and raised her hands. She took Lan Diao and Zuo Xiuyan's arms, one on the left and one on the right, and walked forward.
The two looked at each other in confusion, neither of them recognized the man.
Just as they were about to refuse, a huge force came, and the two of them tilted their bodies. Their feet were completely out of control and they were dragged forward a few steps.
If this girl wasn't a little short and narrow, Zuo Xiuyan doubted that she could carry the two of them and run.
"Wait! Don't pull!" Zuo Xiuyan said immediately, "We can walk by ourselves."
"Oh, sorry, I forgot to hold back." The girl with twin ponytails quickly let go of her hand.
After the two of them regained their balance, the girl with the twin ponytails apologized, "I was a little impatient. I'll be more careful next time."
"Did you recognize the wrong person, little sister?" Blues asked, rubbing his arm.
"No."
The girl with twin ponytails looked at Zuo Xiuyan and said, "I have been following you since you first appeared online, although there were some minor incidents in between, and I even ate a few plates of rice for you."
Rice? Zuo Xiuyan frowned in confusion.
"Let's go to where we have classes first." The girl with twin ponytails took the lead and walked out of the cafeteria door.
Along the way, the girl with twin ponytails talked non-stop. Zuo Xiuyan listened quietly and responded occasionally. It was mainly Lan Tiao who chatted with her next to her.
After a while, we arrived at the combat training ground.
This is an open-air venue, covering a large area, with a circle of vertical pole-like machines on the outermost edge, like a fence. Lights flash on them, and a light strip connects every two poles.
As soon as he passed through the light band, Zuo Xiuyan felt a little dizzy, but the feeling quickly dissipated.
"This is a mind suppressor." The twin-tailed girl pointed at the machine next to her, "You can't use your supernatural powers within the circle they surround."
"This is to prevent someone from accidentally releasing their special powers during combat training, which could cause excessive damage."
Going further in, you can see people gathering in groups of three or four, and some people sitting on the ground.
A rough estimate is that there are more than 60 people in total, of which about are students from the last class.
The hourly bell rang and everyone looked back, but there was no sign of the teacher.
"Are you late?"
"What about people?"
As they were talking, a petite girl with twin ponytails walked past the crowd and towards the circular platform in the center.
"I'm the substitute teacher for you. Just call me Lao Sun."
"What?" Everyone was confused. "Is this the teacher?"
"So young? And didn't she come here with the students?"
"Can this physique be taught? It's very unconvincing."
The girl with twin ponytails smiled, revealing her fangs, and punched the thick mechanical pillar beside her with her right hand.
Click!
The half-meter-wide pillar was bent slightly, as if a person was bending down.
The twin ponytails lowered their hands, revealing a deep circular indentation with wrinkles on the edges spreading out in all directions.
"Hiss..." Everyone gasped.
The supernatural powers were suppressed in the venue, which meant that this girl achieved this effect entirely through her own physical strength.
If this punch hit myself... thinking of this, many people felt a dull pain in their stomachs.
"Pay attention in my class. If you don't pay attention, it could cost you your life."
The whole place fell silent.
"You need to focus on basic training. This includes body flexibility, strength, speed and endurance."
"But I won't ask you to learn the basics today. I'll teach you the techniques first."
"Great, that's great!" The students were delighted when they heard this.
The skills you learn can be used immediately!
If you want to practice basic skills, you have to do aerobic and anaerobic training, and local muscle building training for each limb. That's too boring.
“Watch my movements carefully, paying attention to the specific positions, points of force, and rhythm.”
Twintails didn't slow down at all and started the demonstration right away.
The combo moves are as smooth as flowing water, each punch is powerful and the movements are crisp and neat.
Many students were very excited watching this.
Zuo Xiuyan thought to himself that these fighting skills were not difficult for beginners and were the easiest to see results.
Teacher Sun knew that the students were anxious, so he avoided the most annoying and boring parts and aroused their interest first. He was quite resourceful.
After Teacher Sun finished her demonstration, she broke down and subdivided each movement and explained them one by one. Many students in the audience imitated her.
"Everyone is divided into groups according to their physical strength and fights one-on-one."
"The values above 1.6 are coming up."
When four people came up, the display screen in the corner of the stage automatically showed the values, and none of them exceeded 1.7.
The four of them were concentrating and on guard, and when the numerical differences were not that big, skill would more easily determine the outcome.
After Teacher Sun divided the group, he called for the start.
The four of them were a little awkward in the beginning and they were holding back on each other, but as time went on, their blocking and attacks became more organized.
After a few minutes, the speed increased. The person who got into the state first found the opponent's flaw and decided the outcome with one punch.
"Okay, that's a good move, young man." Teacher Sun nodded and patted the boy's arm. "When you punch, use the power of your lower limbs and waist to drive it, it will save more effort."
"I did a good job dodging, and I was only hit three times. I have mastered the techniques just now, and I just need to practice more."
She turned to the person opposite her and said, "You need to pay attention to your shoulders. Don't lift them too high, and remember to reduce the range of motion."
The other group also came up with their results, and Instructor Sun made a few comments, but their performance was obviously not as good as the first group, and they had more problems.
"Wow, this buzz cut! Not only does his stats have the highest in the class, but his technique is also spot on. This means he must be the strongest among these people."
"That's right. If the numbers are similar, he has better skills. If the skills are similar, he has the highest numbers. He has the advantage anyway."
The boy with a crew cut couldn't help but smile when he saw these envious looks.
After the four of them left the stage, the 1.5s came on stage one after another, among them was Blues, who performed extremely well.
Those in the next gear will continue to compete on stage and give comments.
After a few rounds, "1.1 points and below, go to the stage."
The last dozen or so people were a bit embarrassed. This lowest level was the passing line, but they were the last ones.
Lan Diao asked worriedly, "Xiu Yan, you just got out of the hospital. Are you okay? Why don't you talk to the instructor?"
"It doesn't matter. It won't affect anything."
Zuo Xiuyan put the bag on the ground, walked onto the stage, and the numbers were revealed.
0.987.
"Hey? Isn't that Zuo Xiuyan?" Many people asked in confusion, "She hasn't even come yet?"
"So weak? No way?"
"I heard that she hasn't been awakened for long, so it's normal for her body to be weak."
A student who had seen her in the previous class whispered, "Does she really have a weakness?"
"I was shocked when I saw her come in. Fortunately, she is not omnipotent. I finally see her being like a normal person."
"Don't jump to conclusions so early, after all..." They looked at each other and thought of the scene in the last class.
"...That's right. Let's take a look first."
Those who came on stage looked at each other, hoping that the value of the person they matched with was lower.
Looking at the numbers on the screen, there were only four people below one point.
And Zuo Xiuyan is among the very last few people.
The value is low, and I heard that he has just been discharged from the hospital? Everyone has just learned the skills.
Is there any need to say who to choose?
She is the best option.
