107: The plan from above, the general improvement of strength

As Artificial Intelligence Zero's voice faded, exclamations of "Holy crap!" echoed through the cabin.

"Holy crap, when did the organization build mechs? They kept it so quiet!"

"Mom, I've made it! I'm actually wearing a mech!"

"Everyone, look at the manual. This thing doesn't seem as fierce as in sci-fi novels."

"It has a lightsaber, and it's not fierce? This time, watch me go on a killing spree!"

"Don't say 'ga,' it's bad luck!"

"Hey, you're superstitious, kid."

"Qi Revival has already come, and you won't let me be superstitious?"

Amidst the pre-battle, stress-relieving revelry, Yang Dian opened the manual according to Artificial Intelligence - Zero's instructions.

——

Unit-01 User Manual.

Unit-01, full name First Generation Full-Function All-Terrain Combat Mech.

Loaded with combat-type Artificial Intelligence - Zero, equipped with a close-combat solid plasma lightsaber, a long-range high-energy ray gun, and 8 ultra-small guided missiles on each shoulder blade.

Built-in filtration System, with an independent oxygen supply System.

Built-in vortex impeller, with a diving mode, capable of deep-water combat.

After quickly reading the Unit-01 user manual, a form popped up.

【Personal (Squad) Information Registration Form】

In short, it was necessary to update personal (squad) information to facilitate task assignments from above.

He filled in his strength information on the registration form without reservation.

Looking at the words "(Currently Assigning Tasks)" on it, Yang Dian unconsciously clenched his fists.

It was his first time participating in such a large-scale operation, and one involving a war between two worlds. To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie.

But more than that, there was a strong curiosity about the unknown.

What kind of place was the Alien Planet?

Would there be any opportunities inside that could allow him to grow rapidly?

What would the world become like in the future?

Everything, at every moment, was enticing Yang Dian.

Making him want to delve deeper, to understand, to anticipate, to explore.

Just as Yang Dian was anticipating future developments, a figure approached Yang Dian:

"After we land, act with us."

Looking up at the person who had opened his faceplate, Yang Dian reached out and pressed the button on the right side of his helmet, also opening his faceplate:

"Captain Xiao, if you had come a minute earlier, I might have been able to carry out the mission with you all."

"But now, it's probably not possible."

Uncle Xiao, the captain of the Fifth Squad, paused, then swiped a few times on his gauntlet.

Soon after, a 3D light beam shot from his gauntlet, projecting a screen in front of the two of them.

——

Name: Yang Dian (Fuzhou Paranormal Management Bureau Second-Level Peacekeeper)

Martial Arts Realm: Qi Blood Smoke Generation, Qi Gathering Weaponization

Combat Strength: Street Level

Equipment Carried: Unit-01, Solid Plasma Lightsaber, High-Energy Ray Gun

super weapon Armament: Mimetic star matter

Pet Beast Owned: Starlight Jellyfish (No combat power)

Current Mission: Unassigned

——

After reading Yang Dian's updated information, Uncle Xiao's eyes widened.

"You've already cultivated to Qi Blood Smoke Generation, and even achieved Qi Gathering Weaponization?"

"No, it's impossible even if you started practicing in the womb, right?"

"Also, where did your super weapon Armament come from? I remember... I remember you only joined the Special Administration Bureau a month ago, right?"

"How do you already have super weapon Armament?"

Facing Uncle Xiao, who seemed to be questioning life itself, Yang Dian spread his hands:

"I was lucky enough to complete a few major missions, and I picked up a heaven and earth treasure in the wild. Plus, I bought a lot of resources with Merits, so this much progress isn't unreasonable."

"This is not unreasonable, my ass..."

"Without relying on equipment, our Fuzhou branch only has 3 Street-level Martial Artists in total, and that includes the Deputy Director who died in battle and the Director who was severely injured."

"You're only 18 years old, kid, and you've achieved Street-level strength just by your own power."

"Is this not unreasonable, goddammit?"

As Uncle Xiao muttered, Yang Dian continued:

"The organization probably has other arrangements for me, so Captain Xiao, I appreciate your good intentions."

As he spoke, he glanced around the cabin:

"Don't talk about me, let's talk about you all."

"The organization said that abnormal creatures and abnormal events are likely to enter a blowout state soon."

"In this situation, they sent out more than half the people."

"What were they thinking?"

Uncle Xiao plopped down next to Yang Dian:

"What else could they be thinking? Training, of course."

"Our Fuzhou has eight mountains, one river, and one field, and it's also a coastal city. Plus, with foreign forces eyeing us, large-scale abnormal events are bound to break out in the future."

"Now, while the environment is still relatively stable, shouldn't we seize the opportunity to train and accumulate some large-scale combat experience?"

"Otherwise, when something happens later, we'll be flustered and cause who knows how much loss."

Yang Dian realized:

"The higher-ups' thoughts are indeed thorough..."

...Time passed minute by minute.

Taking advantage of the last bit of free time, Yang Dian, who was sitting in his seat with his eyes closed, suddenly heard a ding-dong sound.

"Ding-dong ~"

"The plane will land at Shuangliu Airport in three minutes. Please prepare yourselves and disembark in an orderly fashion."

Opening his eyes at the prompt, Yang Dian unconsciously narrowed them.

His exclusive panel unfolded.

The energy on the panel had astonishingly increased from 65 points (two digits) to 937 points (nearly four digits)!

And that wasn't all.

Although the jumping speed had slowed, the energy amount was constantly increasing at a speed dozens or hundreds of times faster than before, and there was no telling when it would stop!

In addition, the progress of various Martial Arts had also increased significantly.

For example, the Heaven and Man Unity Skill's progress bar had astonishingly reached 88.6%, and only 104.46 more energy points were needed to acquire the first trait!

"How could it have increased so much?"

"It's equivalent to consuming two heaven and earth treasures!"

"And although the growth rate has slowed, the increase is still not slow."

"If everyone was like me, wouldn't that mean that over 1.4 billion people in China each consumed two heaven and earth treasures?"

As his thoughts rapidly spun, Yang Dian noticed Uncle Xiao beside him.

"Captain Xiao, if I remember correctly, besides being an Awakened with a fire-elemental talent, you're also an ancient Martial Artist."

"Have you felt your strength continuously increasing during this period?"

Uncle Xiao's eyes lit up:

"You feel that way too?"

"To be honest, a few seconds before the alarm sounded, I felt my strength suddenly start to increase."

"Although it's not entirely accurate, based on my feeling, my current strength is probably..."

Uncle Xiao clenched his fist and stated with certainty:

"At least a fifteen percent increase!"

"Fifteen percent?"

Yang Dian nodded thoughtfully.

If he only looked at the increase in total Qi and blood and physical fitness, his overall strength had also increased by about fifteen percent.

The only difference between him and Uncle Xiao was that he had additionally intercepted nearly 900 points of energy.

Just as Yang Dian was pondering, Uncle Xiao continued:

"It's not just us."

"I just asked the others, and their strength has also increased quite a bit during this time."

"Even my little brat at home, who hasn't started practicing Martial Arts because he's still young, told me that his strength suddenly increased."
