Chapter 62: Ye Chong Went Outdoors

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chong was troubled.

He had been training on his speed lately, and did not spend any time on strength training. Now, he had reached another bottleneck in his speed. Since speed was achieved through strength, without support from the appropriate amount of strength, his speed could only stay at its current level.

However, this was not the trash planet, where metallic trash was abundant and everywhere, as it was easy to find a piece of metal of suitable size there. Ye Chong had trained his strength with the most basic and simple method - using weights. He did weight lifting and used weights in exercises such as running and squatting. However, he was considerably stronger now, such that if he continued with the same training method, he would need much heavier weights to fulfil his needs. Otherwise, it would be difficult to achieve the desired results.

Except for a few rare materials, none were dense enough to meet Ye Chong’s requirements. However, one thing he could be certain of was that the materials that were dense enough were not obtainable at the present moment. Without a high enough density, the weight would be too much, besides being inconvenient. It would then be impossible to carry out training at Grandpa Qian’s house!

Mu was interested in the dilemma with Ye Chong’s muscular development. ”Ye, your muscles are still not significantly developing!”

Ye Chong was not too concerned. ”Didn’t you say it’s alright like this?”

Mu evenly replied, ”It is alright, I’m just curious about your state of development!”

Ye Chong shook his head. ”I don’t know the reason for it too. I’ve always been like this since young, never very muscular. Based on what you said, I should be much more muscular by now!”

Mu agreed. ”By right, you should not be having this body form. However, I cannot inspect your body without proper measuring equipment.”

Ye Chong did not mind about it. ”At least it isn’t a bad thing!”

Mu bluntly replied, ”Information is insufficient to calculate that!”

Ye Chong suddenly thought of something. ”Mu, my basic pilot training is almost complete. When are you teaching any advanced techniques? I can only perform one now – the Non-orderly Wavy Leap!”

Mu said, ”Advanced techniques are based on fundamental movements executed with unique battle strategies in mind –”

Ye Chong cut him off. ”Just tell me if you’re teaching or not!”

Mu responded, ”Only if you insist on it! However, do you have a spare mech?”

Ye Chong thought about it, and felt discouraged. ”Ah, I only have the F-58. That white mech seems to have a grudge against Black Cove. If we meet again by accident, it will be disastrous! If it was not for the good terrain last time, it would probably be a lot riskier!”

Mu said, ”It seems that the probability of you performing any pilot training is zero!” Ye Chong felt that Mu was definitely taking pleasure in his misfortune.

Ye Chong suddenly brightened up. ”How about if I go for the NR Training Center?”

Mu disagreed. ”The NR Training Center is incapable of granting you further improvement! What you lack now is experience in actual combat. However realistic the virtual net may feel like, it is incomparable to engaging in reality!”

Ye Chong groaned. ”Actual combat? There’s nothing I can do about that!”

Without his training routine, Ye Chong felt idle most of the time. Mu suggested that he go out more often, since Ye Chong was still far from fully integrating into society, and many of his thoughts were still too different from the average person’s!

Grandpa Qian agreed with the idea that Ye Chong should explore the outside world more, commenting that he looked the very opposite of lively, and should leave the house for a while every day. He even generously offered Ye Chong some zuan credits as allowance!

Thus, Ye Chong went out to the streets under the support of both Mu and Grandpa Qian.

Unlike last time, where Ye Chong had the very definitive aim of obtaining his identity card when he went outside, this time it was purely for leisure. Ye Chong stood outside the main door, unable to decide where to head to first. Should he turn left? Or right? Or just walk straight ahead?

The observant Grandpa Qian noticed Sun Xuelin and Xiu some distance ahead, and greeted them loudly, ”Xuelin!”
