After participating in the wilderness survival training, the college usually takes a day off to give students time to recuperate.
At six o'clock in the morning, Roland opened his eyes on time as usual.
The house Roland rented was a small single room in an old apartment. The price was very cheap, but it was a bit far from the college, but a large section of the route to school overlapped with the school.
After washing up, Roland left the room and rushed to the vegetable market two blocks away.
There were relatively few people in the morning, so the broccoli would not be sold out so quickly, and Roland had plenty of room to choose from.
The landlady who got up early was active in the yard with the neighbors in the apartment. Roland squinted his eyes as usual and politely said hello to everyone he should know. Although his name was often forgotten, in this small area In this place, Roland, who suffered miserably but was extremely sensible, has always been the target of praise.
More than a year ago, Roland's "parents" died unexpectedly in a demonic incident. The underage Roland had to set out alone, heading east from the distant Tempering City-state to a certain port tower area on the east coast of the Demon Strait. , I walked for several days on one of the "Rainbow Bridges" that spanned the two continents in the east and west and connected the Quenching City State and the Gallo City State. I almost died on the bridge. With the help of kind-hearted people passing by, I arrived at Gallo City. Luo Chengbang, after walking through more than a dozen tower areas, finally arrived here and successfully defected to his distant relative - a blacksmith who had opened a shop in Tower Area 1 for several years.
Roland and his parents are both legal residents of the Quenching City State. Roland also studied for a year or two at a public academy in a certain tower area where he once "lived", and was successfully promoted to a junior martial artist, with his own professional badge. The experience of suffering and starving along the way was more real and did not require much verification. Therefore, Roland's identity was quickly confirmed by the Gallo City State, and he successfully completed the transfer procedures and entered the Gallo Academy.
At the beginning, Roland's physical fitness was very poor. Apart from some talent in internal strength training, his strength was almost at the bottom. Coupled with his extremely low sense of presence, he was naturally one of the marginalized targets, so Roland quickly Then I got to know Yu smoothly.
Few of the male students in the third team lived so far away. Not long after he transferred here and became familiar with the surrounding roads, Roland tried to take a long detour and came to the end of the only road at the foot of Fengming Mountain to wait for the emperor. , went to school with him.
This should be a very common behavior between "friends" who have just made friends. According to the information from Quenching City, Roland has always been an honest child who loves to make friends and never quarrels with others. Roland also acted completely according to the character template loaded this time, and the voice in the back of his mind did not give any warning. However, that night, a strong person sneaked into Roland's room and checked him carefully.
Roland had already prepared for this situation. According to the mission requirements, his body had already been replaced with a junior professional version. All muscle conditions and bone age were perfectly consistent with the data, and he had not undergone any modifications. Even the body inside his body had not been modified. He spent several hours refining the martial arts Dantian.
In his entire body, only the brain and the nerve network throughout the body have been modified by secret methods. It still looks like a human structure, but inside it has been replaced with a kind of silk spun called the "Human-faced Spider", and hundreds of species. The body made of special materials is extremely tough and has top master-level response speed, allowing him to be compatible with master or even master-level body versions to perform different tasks.
Although this is the first time he has used this body version, and its power is too weak, the compatibility of this body is the highest. This is an "experience" that Roland has never had before.
Roland and the voice deep in his mind had no objection to this. High compatibility would naturally be more conducive to completing the task. There were no logical errors to speak of. Therefore, this slight mental fluctuation made it unnecessary to start an extremely energy-consuming self-correction program. There is no need to record it in the log.
The strong man's inspection found no abnormalities, and the surveillance was removed after a few days. However, the alert level in Roland's body was still raised to the highest level, and the voice deep in his mind was silent for a month.
The long "offline state" makes daily routine task reports seem like talking to oneself. Although the "he" during this period is a loaded program and the sum of many established templates, in the "offline state" "Shi Ye still follows the established algorithm and simulates reasonable behavior that is consistent with the background information.
So Roland voluntarily gave up waiting for Yu Yi to go to school, showing a little respect for the deep mansion that dominated the foot of Fengming Mountain, and a natural sense of alienation. The frequency of encounters along the way was not high, and in the academy, Roland was Every student is very friendly, and naturally they are quietly increasing their opportunities to come into contact with Yu, showing an increasingly sympathetic attitude despite their scruples.
Finally, in a practical class, Roland and Yu were in the same group, and were punished in public by instructor Qian Yin for being too hands-off. Yu felt very sorry for this incident, and of course Roland would not "care" about it. Their friendship started from then on. Later, he went a step further. Roland often accompanied Yu to do some basic exercises. Gradually, the two of them became the default small circle in everyone's eyes and became "friends".
After the voice in the back of his mind reappeared, there was no objection to "his" performance over the past month. Necessary self-examination and evaluation were of course indispensable. "His" operation was normal, but for Roland, this This is the first time "he" has experienced a long "offline state", and these choices are completely made by "he" himself. This "experience" is vaguely strange.
With the fresh broccoli and other ingredients in hand, Roland, like any easily satisfied teenager, returned home "happily" and started preparing breakfast for himself.
Of course, broccoli is still Roland's staple food. This is also a unique setting in the character template loaded this time. This body seems to recognize this ingredient very much, but now Roland just washes and peels the broccoli and breaks it into many pieces. Then, blanch the hard part of the rhizome in water, then chew it with some other food.
Ever since Yu made the joke about "eating it raw", Roland's templates began to calculate, and soon gave the "you can try" instruction, which has continued to this day. The step of "blanching water" was also added under Yu's suggestion. Regarding this way of eating, Roland also had a slight mental fluctuation, which seemed to be called "satisfaction"...
But of course these are all necessary means to complete the mission. For both Roland and the voice in the back of his mind, the mission is everything!
At about eight o'clock in the morning, Roland finished all the food, took a short rest, then went out, humming a few lines of Miss Lilith's song, and walked to the martial arts guild.
According to the current ability template, after staying at the four-star level for about a month, his internal strength has successfully exceeded the six thousand mark, and his proficiency in the "Gang Body" martial arts is sufficient. After the training, Roland was recruited by the martial arts department. The instructors called over and unanimously suggested that he take advantage of the vacation time to try the five-star promotion assessment, but they did not tell him the reason.
Transform any changes from the outside world into countless instructions and quickly calculate the best response - Roland and the voice in the back of his mind are both good at this, and it does not conflict with the latest order. As an honest child , he will definitely listen to what the instructors say.
A trace of mental fluctuations appeared faintly, as if they were "guessing" that the instructors' intentions might be related to the upcoming "Five Colleges Exchange Meeting"...
However, this fluctuation triggered certain mechanisms, and the voice in his mind quickly started the error correction process and extinguished it.
For "people" like Roland, these mental fluctuations are system redundancy and useless information garbage. He does not need any "guessing", only instructions and actions.
The Martial Arts Guild is on the edge of Tower 1, quite far from Roland's home. Roland doesn't walk very fast. After entering the guild, he has to wait in line as usual, have his badge checked, and be assigned an assessment venue... When Roland saw the examiner , it’s almost eleven o’clock.
Like any tower area, martial arts guilds are usually built in remote places. The bold martial arts masters are accustomed to talking with fists and weapons. Naturally, it is easy to make some noise. The martial arts guilds also look down on machines and targets. Even the Space Ear Room is too lazy to pay for these things, so the promotion assessment requires a large school field, and assessment areas for different levels can be randomly designated.
It is very dangerous to walk around the school grounds, especially when waiting for the examiner. Roland stood still and looked at the other martial arts masters "curiously", showing an obvious look of "envy" .
The examiner was a strong man in his thirties. After asking Roland that the direction of the assessment was "defense", he did not reach out to test whether Roland's internal energy reserves were up to standard. He asked him to drive the "Gang Body" with all his strength and smashed it with one punch. In the past, Roland was pushed for more than ten steps, but his "Gang Body" was not broken, so he was able to prevent the punch. The examiner nodded, indicating that he had passed the test and he could return to the guild to complete the formalities.
After the process was completed, Roland's badge had another solid star on it. However, he had no intention of taking over the mission. He took out a few broccoli from his backpack, chewed them, and walked in another direction.
As an "orphan" recognized by two major city-states at the same time, Jialuo Academy naturally exempted all tuition fees, but Roland still had to rely on himself for living expenses. Fortunately, the distant relative who owned a blacksmith shop would support him with some crystal every month. However, the blacksmith relative was very skilled and the business was very good. There were constant clanging and fires in the shop every day and night. It was really unsuitable for people to live in. The blacksmith relative had no time to take care of him, so Roland moved out.
Although people in the human realm claim to have two days off a week, it is basically difficult for them to enjoy it. The blacksmith shop that is responsible for its own profits and losses has no holidays. Jialuo Academy is still very humane in this aspect, although the third-year students are facing graduation. , once a week is still unbreakable. During these holidays, Roland will go to the shop to do some chores and earn some living expenses.
