152: Can't think of a chapter title

The air was mixed with the aroma of synthetic food.

Just like the air near the maintenance department was filled with the smell of oil, upon entering the area of the First Dining Hall, the unique aroma of food would assault your senses.

"This way."

Fang Yun, familiar with the place, led Vavinia and the other two to a four-person dining table.

"Training-specific nutritional meal, specially supplied internally by the Buckle Family, secret recipe, less technology and harsh methods, more nutritional additives."

"A bit interesting."

"This kind of meal that looks very eye-catching, I must properly taste it today."

"You're the one, go, training-specific nutritional meal."

While muttering to himself, Fang Yun ordered two training-specific nutritional meals and also a glass of juice.

"There's Mexican-flavored synthetic meat today, do you want to try some?"

Vavinia hung her jacket on the back of the chair, scrolled through the menu, and asked Fang Yun and the other two.

Fang Yun stretched his neck to take a look:

"Yep, I'll take one."

Seeing Fang Yun agree, Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou also made their decisions:

"I want one too, I want one too meow."

"Please give me one as well."

Vavinia smiled and nodded:

"Okay, then let's order four portions."

While everyone was ordering, a waiter brought four glasses of lemonade and placed them on their table.

"Lemonade, please enjoy."

Fang Yun distributed the lemonade to the other three and chatted happily with the waiter:

"Qatar, thank you for your trouble."

"Oh, it's no trouble at all, serving the family members is my duty."

"Please eat slowly, I'll be going now, the guests at other tables are still waiting for me."

"Alright, take care."

Fang Yun waved goodbye to Qatar, then turned around and met the curious gazes of Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou.

"That person just now was Qatar, the son of Katart, the Buckle Family's head chef. He's currently learning cooking from his dad and works as a waiter at the First Dining Hall in his free time."

As soon as Fang Yun finished speaking, Vavinia immediately added:

"Working as a waiter allows you to observe the family members' dietary preferences. I heard from Auntie Kassan that Uncle Katart only fully mastered the tastes of all the family members after working as a waiter for several years back then."

"This matter is also recorded in the Buckle Family's family history."

As Fang Yun spoke, his eyes lit up with an orange-yellow glow.

"I'll send you the Buckle Family's family history. It records the family's history, and you can find various major events and members from past generations in it."

Vavinia blinked her eyes and said playfully:

"The family history is updated in real-time. If you can achieve any great feats in the future, they will also be compiled into the family history and passed down through generations as 'celebrities' in the family's history."

Fang Yun and Vavinia spoke back and forth, making Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou very excited.

"So that's how it is, we understand. Thank you for explaining."

"Understood meow. Thank you Fang Yun and Sister Nia meow."

"This is all knowledge you can't hear in the company's training department." (Communication channel, start)

"The outside world is much more interesting than inside the training department."

"I am incredibly grateful to have been saved by Master."

"Me too meow." (Communication channel, end)

Fang Yun and Vavinia exchanged glances:

"It seems Bai Xuerou is no longer hiding her verbal tic at all (laughs)." (Comm)

"Isn't it fine this way? I think it's quite cute." (Comm)

"Perhaps." (Comm)

While chatting and laughing, the meals Fang Yun and the four of them had just ordered were brought out by the waiter one after another.

"Let's eat, let's eat. After eating and drinking our fill, we'll rest for a while and then go back to the training ground to continue training."

"Oh yeah. Sister Nia, try this meow."

Time: 15:00. Location: Training ground.

In 2075, the intensity of street combat was already very high. Under normal circumstances, firearms and cyberware were the winning tools in combat, while physical techniques had become a relic of the past.

However, assassination styles, sword styles, and others still insisted on using physical techniques and regarded them as the main combat skills.

Moreover, when the strength of firearms and cyberware is similar, combat skills are the key to breaking the deadlock in battle.

Therefore, training in close-quarters combat skills, or more precisely, training in physical techniques, is quite necessary.

The Fifth Order cyberware "Human Intelligence Ascension" brought Fang Yun three things: Fifth Order Hacker technology, all the "common sense level" knowledge a Fifth Order Hacker should possess, and some professional knowledge and skills ranging from First Order to Fourth Order.

Fourth Order physical technique knowledge, combined with various physical technique-related cyberware throughout his body, was enough to support Fang Yun in becoming a physical technique master with decent combat power even among the Fourth Order.

Compared to the firearms training ground which was often packed with people, the Buckle Family's combat training ground was basically empty.

Inside Combat Training Ground Number One, Fang Yun and the other three stood in pairs.

"The Unlimited Combat Style and the Hunyuan Fighting Method are the combat techniques I will teach you."

"The accompanying stance training and mental cultivation method will be sent to you later."

"The effects of stance training can be substituted with cyberware and technical programming; the key lies in the mental cultivation method."

"The function of the mental cultivation method is to enhance mental strength and protect the inner self from external evils. In plain terms, it allows you to remain calm and composed when facing unacceptable things or sudden events, and it also helps alleviate and overcome psychological barriers that arise after killing."

"In the future, you can practice the mental cultivation method more often in your free time. This thing is actually quite similar to meditation."

"There are also general rules and bottom lines for killing, which can greatly reduce the possibility of developing 'bloodlust', 'reduced humanity', 'loss of empathy', etc., due to excessive killing."

"The Killing Code manual, the one I have is the master copy, and the ones I send to you are the sub-copies. Any changes I make to the content of the manual will be synchronized to you. This way, when you mature, you can have your own set of guidelines."

"Getting back to combat techniques."

"I will start by teaching you fixed move sets and gradually cultivate your instinctive combat reactions."

"And after practicing the sets, we will conduct free-form sparring training where you respond to attacks as they come, thereby improving your spontaneous reaction ability."

"The rest is to slowly accumulate experience in actual combat."

"To put it simply, combat techniques are about 'utilizing your advantages in areas like strength/speed/endurance/explosiveness, etc., to specifically attack the enemy's weaknesses or disadvantaged areas'."

"At least in this cyberpunk world, it can be simply viewed this way."

"With the high-level cyberware on you, after unlocking the power limits, even if you don't understand physical techniques, your combat power won't be weak."

"In short, relax, we'll take our time."

Hua Meiying, Bai Xuerou, and Vavinia all watched Fang Yun attentively, listening to him talk at length.

As Fang Yun spoke, he sent the stance training, mental cultivation method, and the Killing Code manual to Hua Meiying, Bai Xuerou, and Vavinia via the communication interface.

"Vavinia, help me take a look. If there's anything that needs attention or modification, just tell me. (Love you.jpg)" (Comm)

"Okay. (Heart gesture.jpg)" (Comm)

After a long talk, Fang Yun saw that they all fully understood what he had said and nodded with satisfaction.

"Next, we will officially begin training."

"Due to time constraints, today will only cover introductory level set teaching; the free sparring session will be omitted."

"During the lunch break, Vavinia and I explained the force application techniques for each movement. Later, she will act as my assistant coach to correct your incorrect postures and force application."

"That's the plan. If there are no objections, let's begin now."

After hearing Fang Yun's words, Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou exchanged glances, both with a hint of excitement in their eyes:

"Great, we finally get to the part where we can stick close to Master!"

Then, they turned to look at Fang Yun and replied with a positive and slightly eager tone:

"Let's start, we are ready."

Fang Yun smiled slightly upon hearing this.

He walked to the center of the training ground, put his hands behind his back, and assumed a coach-like posture.

"First is the basic stance for Unlimited Combat."

Fang Yun slightly bent his knees, lowering his center of gravity:

"Remember three points: never fully straighten your knees, keep your spine naturally curved, and your line of sight should be able to see both your opponent's hands and feet simultaneously."

Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou immediately began to imitate.

Vavinia walked around them, reached out and gently pressed Bai Xuerou's shoulder:

"Too stiff, relax a bit. Imagine yourself in a special state where your whole body is relaxed but also ready to tense up at any moment."

"If you can't do that, imagine you are about to run a 1000-meter race, your body is in a state of excitement that is both relaxed and tense."

Fang Yun thought for a moment and gave an apt description:

"To borrow the words of the Class Monitor, it's a competitive state."

Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou looked thoughtful upon hearing Fang Yun's words.

After a while, Fang Yun found that they suddenly had an epiphany and instantly grasped the correct stance and force application techniques.

"Hmm~."

"It seems your combat talent is also quite good."

"Let's continue..."

While teaching Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou the various set moves, Fang Yun chatted with Vavinia on the communication channel:

"Although you didn't ask, I still want to tell you that the Class Monitor is a character from an anime I watched before, and I really like her."

"The name of that anime is 'Honkai Impact Valkyrie: Fight for All That is Beautiful in the World'."

"Class Monitor 1.jpg, Class Monitor 2.jpg, Class Monitor 3.jpg."

"These are beautiful pictures of the Class Monitor, which I drew myself using drawing tools."

"A very beautiful character. It's just, she seems a bit flat; it looks like I'm stronger in this regard."

"I'm very happy that you can tell me these things. (Happy.jpg) As a reward, tonight I can actively use my mouth to please you. (Shy.jpg)"
