Ten minutes later, Ju Qingmeng also entered the Virtual Reality training ground. Ren Zhong had already been practicing alone for over an hour.
With just one glance, Ju Qingmeng grasped the essence of it.
Ren Zhong has advanced to the Third Level.
It’s still the same set of overkill equipment he designed earlier, still with amplifier delays, and he’s still dealing with a large number of Third Level Ruined Beasts. But his control has become much more relaxed, especially his timely reactions to sudden attacks from outside his field of vision, including from behind, above, below, and from the ground and the air, have undergone a significant qualitative change.
When he attacks, he no longer relies solely on experience to determine and persistently target certain fixed weak points of the Ruined Beasts.
Now he can catch new weaknesses that emerge during the encounters with the Ruined Beasts.
For example, some joints of the Ruined Beasts show signs of overheating and embrittlement after repeated bending and folding.
Or when Ren Zhong swings his dual guns to hit hard armor parts of the Ruined Beasts that were not originally weak points, leaving minor cracks that become potential breakthroughs for further armor penetration.
At the beginning of the encounters, these phenomena are not considered weak points, but as the battle deepens, the Hunter can exploit them.
It’s very challenging to identify new weaknesses with the naked eye since the battlefield changes rapidly and the information is too vast and complex. However, the visual resonance info boost of the Third Level helmet can solve this problem.
Clearly, Ren Zhong, who had just completed his upgrade, has already mastered this new skill of visual resonance perfectly.
Ju Qingmeng waited a few more minutes before Ren Zhong finally became overwhelmed by the swarm of Third Level Ruined Beasts when his armor energy ran out and was torn apart.
Ren Zhong’s figure reassembled and appeared next to Ju Qingmeng.
"How long did you last this time?"
"I started at eight in the evening and lasted until now. I feel like if the armor energy limit and stamina decline settings were removed, I could keep killing endlessly until the end of time."
Ju Qingmeng shook her head, "That’s not good either, mental fatigue is still fatigue."
"What are your current parameters? How much have they increased? Do you need to go to the mall to measure an accurate value?"
Ren Zhong shook his head, "The parameter changes are too intense, measuring an accurate value before they stabilize is meaningless. I measured with simple equipment before the injection this morning. The carrying power was 242.2 kilowatts, the Brain Reaction Index was 385.2, and the Physical Comprehensive Index was 242.2. Now, when I checked again after nine, these three data points turned into 350.1 kilowatts, 412.4, and 350.1."
Ju Qingmeng mentally calculated and was astonished, "From when you took the injection till now, it’s only been half a day. If that’s the case, your average daily increase in carrying power and Physical Index is over 210? And once the other two indices catch up, your Brain Reaction Index increase will also exceed 100?"
Ren Zhong: "Yes. I haven’t measured the Brain-Machine Synchronization Rate, so I’m not sure."
"Sun Miao mentioned the situation with others using the Star Origin Injection Liquid. The improvement cycle generally lasts a short three to four days, a long seven days. The average daily improvement range is between thirty to forty to seventy to eighty. What kind of ridiculous increase is this! Besides, I feel there’s no need to measure your Brain-Machine Synchronization Rate, honestly, it must be 39.99%. Once you digest the efficacy, won’t all three indices surpass 1000, crossing two levels to directly ascend to the Fourth Level?"
"I can’t take it anymore! Are you even human! Suddenly I feel that compared to you, Sid Meier is plain boring, Ma Xiaoling is just average, and Lin Wang can’t even see your taillights. You’re like a born warrior!"
"You’re spending so much thought every day pondering the design ideas of armor modifications and those schemes, it’s a bit off track! As long as you don’t rush, taking steady improvements for a few years, not to mention Starfire Town, even looking beyond to Liao Yuan County and including Chongyi County, I’m afraid no one can suppress you."
Ju Qingmeng always prided herself on sufficiently understanding Ren Zhong’s talent, having developed a "calm" demeanor unshaken even if a mountain crumbles before her.
But now, she couldn’t hold back, her head buzzing with shock.
Having been used to all sorts of praise from those around him since childhood, Ren Zhong felt a bit embarrassed with Ju Qingmeng’s unreserved praise.
He could only scratch his head humbly and say, "Actually, it feels okay. I don’t really put much thought into those things, just go with the flow, it’s all quite simple, really."
Ju Qingmeng’s excited mood was instantly doused.
She had a thousand words to retort in her heart, but with Ren Zhong’s nonchalant face saying, "These are really trivial matters, why are you so surprised," she was left speechless.
