29: I can turn the table over anytime I want.

The empty training ground, the shooting targets in the distance, the submachine gun in hand.

The sudden change in the external environment, the peculiar perspective beyond one's control, the novel and unfamiliar physical sensations.

All of these were telling Fang Yun that he had entered a Superdream.

"According to the plot synopsis included with the Superdream chip, I should now be a combat specialist for a trauma medical team."

After Fang Yun entered the Superdream, within a few seconds, he felt "himself" begin to move.

"He" walked up to a shooting window in the training ground and accurately and quickly completed a check of the submachine gun in his hand.

Then, "he" raised the submachine gun, aimed at the moving target fifty meters away, and pulled the trigger of the modified saratoga in his hand.

"Ta-ta-ta!"

"Ta-ta-ta!"

"Ta-ta-ta!"

After a burst of rhythmic shooting, "he" put down the saratoga in his hand and removed the magazine.

Then, "he" picked up the neatly arranged bullets from the counter of the shooting window and began loading them one by one.

On the counter of the shooting window, there was a small LCD screen on the far left, displaying the score for this shooting session.

"He" had just fired a total of 24 bullets, and the screen showed "Total Score: 225", as well as "Average Rings Hit per Bullet: 9.375 rings".

"It seems this combat specialist has some skill with a submachine gun."

After reloading the bullets, "he" began shooting again.

After two more rounds of standing shooting, "he" moved to the adjacent shooting window and performed three rounds of squatting shooting training.

Then, "he" moved to the shooting window next to that and performed three rounds of prone shooting training.

Next, "he" replaced the neatly arranged bullets with bullets placed in disarray and went through the three shooting stances again from the beginning.

After that, Fang Yun watched as "he" continuously changed the conditions of the shooting training.

For example, fast reloading, one-handed reloading, one-handed shooting, shooting without aiming, non-standard stance shooting, 100-meter moving target shooting, etc.

After following "him" through half an hour of shooting training, Fang Yun felt as if he had indeed learned a little something.

However, because the things learned were not deeply imprinted and he hadn't actually operated them himself, Fang Yun felt a bit uncertain.

This Superdream only lasted for half an hour.

Although Fang Yun wanted to observe for a while longer, the Superdream ended on time.

After all, this was a finished Superdream, not a raw Superdream, so it could not be edited, and naturally could not be paused or restarted.

As the light from the Superdream reader dimmed, Fang Yun exited the Superdream.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yun chose not to watch the previous Superdream again but decided to look at the other Superdreams.

Because he still had a sense of novelty towards Superdreams, after pulling out the Superdream chip he had just watched, Fang Yun eagerly picked up a new Superdream chip and inserted it into the Superdream reader.

"LINK START!"

The familiar white light lit up, and Fang Yun entered a new Superdream.

Time flew by quickly, and after two and a half hours, Fang Yun had watched all six Superdreams.

After exiting the last Superdream, Fang Yun took off the Superdream headset, tossed it aside with a flick of his hand, and lay on the bed in a spread-eagle position.

"True emptiness always comes after excessive exhaustion."

"I've watched so many Superdreams, and the more I watch, the more I feel that the combat skills recorded in these Superdreams are useless to me."

"For different levels of combat, combat skills and combat experience are completely different."

"For me, who possesses a full set of top-tier Fifth Order cybernetics, those little fry who have only installed Second or Third Order cybernetics can be killed with a casual wave of my hand."

"Even Adam Smasher, as long as I use all my cybernetics and fire a round from each firearm, he'll have to kneel."

"If Adam Smasher uses the 'Big Ghost' mech, I'll go back to the base and build a top-tier Fifth Order mech, and I'll still be able to completely overwhelm him when I return."

"Even if Fifth Order cybernetics and equipment can no longer allow me to maintain overwhelming strength, I'll go back to the base, pull out blueprints for extremely Lower Level or even higher-level cybernetics or equipment, manufacture them, and still be able to maintain overwhelming strength."

"The combat skills recorded in Superdreams, for me, can't be said to be completely meaningless, but they can only be said to be of no use."

"Theoretically speaking, unless the enemy's strength reaches or exceeds 'Planetary Level' (or 'Stellar System' Level), or unless my strength growth rate cannot keep up with the enemy's actual growth rate, I can maintain overwhelming strength and therefore don't need to care about so-called combat skills and combat experience."

"In the 2077 World, the strength cap is probably extreme Upper Level Fifth Order."

"Although obtaining blueprints in the Cyberpunk module becomes significantly harder starting from the Continental level, in the 2077 World, having top-tier extreme Upper Level Fifth Order cybernetics or equipment will almost certainly guarantee overwhelming strength."

"So, there's no need to worry about the strength growth rate not being sufficient."

"As long as I develop step by step, by the time I need to go head-to-head with the entire 2077 World, my strength will definitely be overwhelming."

"Combat skills and combat experience in the conventional sense are useless, at least until I reach 'Planetary Level'."

"From now on, I won't waste money buying Superdreams related to combat skill training, nor will I waste money buying facilities for combat skill training."

"Moreover, to be honest, for me as a block person, true combat skills and combat experience should be 'familiarity, understanding, and application of characteristics, mechanisms, and blocks'."

"I will definitely obtain modules with a higher strength or combat power cap in the future, so for me, the most important true combat skills and combat experience should be 'familiarity, understanding, and application of characteristics, mechanisms, and blocks'."

Lying on the bed, letting his thoughts wander, Fang Yun gradually felt a wave of sleepiness wash over him.

Just as Fang Yun was about to fall asleep, he suddenly remembered something and was abruptly startled awake from his drowsiness.

"WC, I almost forgot, I agreed with Valentine and Toke to go to a hotel to stay after experiencing the 'Third Major Feature'."

"I can't sleep now."

Fang Yun said as he propped himself up from the bed.

Picking up the Superdream headset from the bed, Fang Yun pulled out the Superdream chip still inserted in it and placed it on the bedside table along with the headset.

Next, Fang Yun got out of bed, walked to the door of the room, and pulled the membership card out of the slot.

The moment the membership card left the slot, the lights in Room 16 immediately went out, and at the same time, the door of the room automatically opened.

Fang Yun, who already knew the way, walked out of the room and returned to the service counter on the basement floor by himself, holding the card.

...

Speaking of Valentine and Toke.

Previously, at the service counter on the basement floor, Valentine and Toke, leaving Fang Yun aside, each started a service at a service counter and then went to their respective rooms to enjoy themselves.

Toke and Valentine didn't often come to the Party Bar to experience the so-called "Third Major Feature".

Today, Toke and Valentine came because they wanted to take Fang Yun to experience the "Third Major Feature", and they hadn't been to the Party Bar for a while, so they each ordered a "Third Major Feature" service.

Toke had been to the basement floor of the Party Bar many times before and liked the "Flying" service here the most.

So, Toke ordered the same people and Superdream as the previous times.

While Toke was enjoying the madness, Valentine was in his room, just like Fang Yun, watching a Superdream about combat skill training.

Toke and Valentine had agreed beforehand that whoever finished their service first would go to the waiting area next to the basement entrance after paying at the service counter and wait for the other person.

So neither of them was worried about missing the other.

This time, although Toke and Valentine had brought Fang Yun, since they had already exchanged communication accounts with him, as long as Fang Yun didn't send them a message, it meant Fang Yun hadn't finished his service, and they wouldn't have to worry about missing him.

(ps: Fang Yun's communication account suddenly appeared in his personal operating system after he had previously hacked into the public network of Weeks Town.)

And if Toke and Valentine finished their service first, they would wait for Fang Yun in the waiting area and wouldn't miss him either.

Fang Yun was unaware of their thoughts and plans mentioned above.

It was only when he was about to fall asleep that Fang Yun remembered he couldn't miss Valentine and Toke.

So, Fang Yun hurriedly left the room, preparing to return to the service counter to pay and end the service, and then quickly contact Valentine and Toke.

What? You're asking why a bar service like this allows you to enjoy it first and pay later?

Because it's kind.

Of course, that's not the real reason.

The real reason is that the bar is eager for someone to dine and dash.

Because if someone dines and dashes, the bar can rightfully keep that person.

Whether it's the euros potentially in that person's account, the cybernetics on that person, or that person's weapons and equipment, they will all be "kept" by the bar.

(ps: Let me mention here, at the service counter, Fang Yun and his companions had temporarily stored their weapons and equipment at the service counter.

Of course, what Fang Yun temporarily stored was just the pistol he had seized from the Nightwalker earlier.)

People who dare to dine and dash are either high on drugs, ignorant fools, or malicious customers deliberately causing trouble.

No matter what kind of person dines and dashes, the Party Bar will make them pay the price.

Just as Fang Yun was preparing to go back to the counter to pay, Valentine and Toke had already finished paying and ending their services and were waiting for Fang Yun in the waiting area.

Because the cost of the Party Bar's "Third Major Feature" service is calculated based on the amount of service content.

So Valentine and Toke spent within their means, not significantly depleting their respective small reserves.

Toke enjoyed an hour of service and then returned to the service counter to pay.

Valentine only ordered two chips and, like Toke, stayed in the room for about an hour before returning to the service counter to pay.

Because Fang Yun ordered that VR projection device, which was purely a gimmick, the service staff at the service counter thought he was a newcomer, and of course, a fat sheep.

So, the service staff took it upon themselves to arrange six Superdream chips for Fang Yun.

That's why it took Fang Yun two and a half hours to come out of the room.

...

Speaking of Fang Yun again.

Fang Yun hurried back to the service counter, and as soon as he returned, he saw Valentine and Toke already waiting for him by the entrance to the basement floor.

Seeing Valentine and Toke standing there and greeting him, Fang Yun was slightly stunned, then walked over and told the two to wait a moment,

Then, Fang Yun quickly went to the service window where he had started the service and said to the person inside:

"Hello, I'd like to pay."

The service staff saw Fang Yun and heard him say he wanted to pay, and their hearts rejoiced.

"It seems I've really met a fat sheep today. Another commission earned."

The service staff thought to themselves while smiling and taking the membership card Fang Yun handed over.

Then, she quickly processed the payment procedures and sent a bill and a payment link to Fang Yun via a temporary data connection.

Fang Yun didn't look closely and paid directly, ending the service.

Anyway, the money was free, so Fang Yun didn't feel bad about spending it.

After paying, Fang Yun turned around and quickly walked back to Valentine and Toke.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. You could have messaged me, you know."

Toke laughed heartily and said with a hint of teasing,

"Haha, who knows what service Fang Yun you ordered, what if we disturbed you?"

"Besides, it's your first time here. As long as it's not later than the agreed-upon final time, you can stay in the room for as long as you want, don't be polite."

"And with Valentine and I waiting here, we can also see those hot girls at the service counter."

After speaking, Toke winked at Fang Yun, a smile on his face.

At this time, Valentine spoke from the side:

"Alright. Since the three of us are done, let's hurry up and go to sleep. I'm too tired to move."

Hearing this, Toke nodded in agreement.

Naturally, Fang Yun had no objection to this.

Although Fang Yun, as a block person, wouldn't get tired, he would feel tired, so Fang Yun also wanted to get a good night's sleep now.

The three of them walked into the elevator passage they had come from, preparing to go upstairs and leave the bar, then find a hotel to sleep.
