Deep inside the island was a three-story high-tech training facility.
Roya showed his pass, and the guarding officer imdiately and politely let him through, without even questioning Roya.
Lu Yun waved.
"Follow !"
"Okay."
Roya and Lu Yun entered the facility together, and it felt like stepping into an airport, a completely different world compared to the outside.
"This way!"
Lu Yun led the way with practiced ease, clearly familiar with the facility's layout, like a staff mber who worked there regularly.
Seeming to notice Roya's confusion, Lu Yun explained with a smile, "I used to intern with Vegapunk."
"..."
Roya was stunned.
To intern with Vegapunk wasn't sothing an ordinary genius could do; she was definitely a super-scholar.
"Then why did you beco a Marine?"
"I didn't pass the internship!"
Lu Yun grimaced.
Roya was speechless. Even if she didn't et Vegapunk's standards, she should have been able to beco a regular scientist.
Wasn't joining the Marines a waste of her talent?
Lu Yun explained a little awkwardly, "Actually, I'm not good at combat, but I love collecting information, so I was assigned to Headquarters. My ho is there too."
"I see."
Roya understood.
No wonder she was interested in him. She used to be a researcher, now she was enthusiastic about intelligence work; how could she not be curious?
Hmm, I think I need a secretary.
The guys in Logue Town were either showy dancers or empty-headed idiots. The only normal girl, Tashigi, was always forgetful and couldn't handle important tasks.
If I could just bring this girl back...
Roya stared at Lu Yun, his mind automatically picturing her in a white shirt and black skirt, with a pair of gold-rimd glasses.
The future is bright!
I wonder how well this girl would accept the darker side of things. If she's too uptight, it won't work. I'm going to be doing a lot of bad things in the future.
They arrived at an exhibition room. Through the transparent glass, they could see various strange weapons on display.
"This is the weapons exhibition area. Inside are high-tech weapons invented by Vegapunk. Want to take a look?"
"We can go in?"
"With , you can."
Lu Yun took out her work pass and showed it to the Den Den Mushi surveillance cara on the door. The exhibition room door opened.
Roya entered the room and casually picked up a steel pipe. Seeing a red button on it, he subconsciously pressed it.
"Zzzt!"
A dazzling laser extended from the pipe!
"Holy crap, a laser sword!"
Roya held up the laser sword, his eyes sparkling. Maybe it was a bit childish for kids, he mused, but it was just right for adults.
Crap, the Force is about to awaken!
"Can I take this?"
"No, it's for display!"
Lu Yun refused without hesitation. Every exhibit here was incredibly valuable, and she'd be held responsible if anything went missing.
"Okay."
Roya reluctantly put down the laser sword.
"Actually, I didn't want it that much."
"..."
Lu Yun sighed helplessly.
Why did every man who ca here want a laser sword so badly? There were many weapons more powerful than that.
Lu Yun picked up a sniper rifle and excitedly explained, "Look at this gun. It's equipped with special flower bullets. Once fired, all the bullets and cannonballs within range will turn into beautiful flowers! Super aweso, right?"
"h."
Roya grimaced, his eyes still fixed on the laser sword hilt.
What trash, how dare it compare itself to a laser sword.
"Do you have a multi-headed laser sword?"
"No."
"Then do you have a laser trident?"
"No!"
"A laser nine-toothed rake?"
"What kind of weird thing is that!"
"Tch, how boring."
"..."
Lu Yun sighed weakly. "Let's go to the gravity training room. Oh, and put down the laser sword."
"Tch."
Roya reluctantly put down the laser sword hilt.
What's so great about it? When I'm powerful in the future, I'm definitely going to commission Vegapunk to make a super laser sword that can transform at will.
Soon, the two arrived at the gravity room.
Through the glass, they could see Peacock sitting cross-legged inside, with obvious beads of sweat on her face, as if she was enduring imnse pressure. Peacock didn't speak, closing her eyes to calm her spirit, waiting for the next round of gravity to begin.
Roya imitated her and sat down as well.
"Here we go!"
As the words fell, the air in the entire room trembled.
"Thud!"
Roya was caught off guard, and his entire body slamd against the ground, as if dozens of tons of weight were pressing down on him. His breathing was incredibly heavy.
"So heavy!"
He struggled to prop himself up, stunned to find the wall display read '2'.
"Why does it feel so heavy, like countless hands are grabbing my entire body and pulling down!"
Roya struggled to sit cross-legged, his eyes glancing at Peacock beside him. The girl looked only slightly strained, in much better condition than him.
"Roya-senior, try not to resist with brute force!"
Lu Yun's reminder entered his ears.
Roya's spirit lifted.
He understood why it was so heavy.
To explain it scientifically, gravity was all-encompassing, perating every part of the body, not just weight applied to the surface.
His muscles, bones, heart, blood vessels, and everything else were enduring twice the pulling force. Bodily functions like blood circulation, heart rate, and breathing needed to be adjusted and adapted.
Also, after long-term training, his muscles and bones were strong enough to easily adapt to twice the gravity, but fragile internal organs were struggling with this sudden change.
That must be why Lu Yun told him not to resist with brute force.
"Life Return!"
Roya found the key to solving the problem.
The effect of Life Return was to integrate consciousness into every part of the body, even controlling individual strands of hair.
And now, under this high-pressure state, the body's sensitivity was increasing exponentially, especially in internal organs that were previously difficult to perceive.
Integrating consciousness into the body, controlling every organ, and training them until they could fully withstand double or even multiple tis the pressure.
When the strength of his heart and lungs could match his current physical body, wouldn't that an he would break his shackles?
"That must be it!"
Roya closed his eyes, focusing all his attention on sensing his body.
After coming to the training camp, he had felt that his physique had reached a bottleneck. Even with desperate training, the improvent was extrely limited.
Now he completely understood that the upper limit of his physique was determined by the body's weakest point. Only when the weakest point was also improved could he beco a true all-rounder!
"Huh!"
Outside the gravity room, Lu Yun looked at Roya, whose breathing was gradually stabilizing, and her heart filled with surprise.
"He entered the state so quickly?"
Ordinary Marines usually took several hours to adapt to the gravity room for the first ti, but that wasn't to say they had mastered the trick, but rather the body's inherent self-regulation ability.
But how long had it been for Roya-senior?
Three minutes?
This ant that Roya-senior had initially understood the partial effects of gravity on himself and hadn't foolishly tried to resist it.
Although she had given him a reminder, whether he could understand it was another matter. Ordinary Marines didn't even understand what gravity was.
How strange. Could it be that Roya-senior was also a graduate of a prestigious school and had studied natural sciences?
I understand. Roya-senior's file needs further investigation!
