This time, Qin Fen ended with mercy. He deliberately made a small mistake at the last moment, allowing his opponent to overtake and achieve the final victory.
“I won.”
Lin Ling’s tone was still just as frosty.
Qin Fen didn’t care about the other person’s tone. He was more concerned about Lin Ling’s psychological wellbeing.
“How does it feel like to win?”
Lin Ling didn’t hesitate, “Expected. You made a mistake.”
Qin Fen began contemplating where his tactics had gone wrong. Was the degree of suppression not enough?
“Are you unhappy?”
“Why would I be unhappy?” Lin Ling asked Qin Fen, “Your mistakes were greater than mine. It’s normal for me to win.”
Qin Fen was filled with some regret. It seemed that he didn’t push her to her very lowest. Qin Fen didn’t apply the best move of Master Hao who specialized in psychology yet.
“Let’s try something else.”
Qin Fen got up. Lin Ling had already won this game once. There wouldn’t be any effect now regardless of whether he beats her or not.
An air battle in the battle network was a close distance from the playground. Among friends, they swapped their toys.
“Do you know how to turn it on?”
Qin Fen was a little worried. If the other party admitted not knowing how to turn it on without hesitation, there was no way he would know how to utilize the rest of the plan.
Lin Ling didn’t hesitate. She went straight into the cockpit and said, “Ace-level pilot.”
Qin Fen, who was sitting in another compartment, was a little surprised. He only had the skills today because he met several insane-level instructors. Where did the woman come from? There is an ace-level pilot among the new recruits of ground forces as well?
Qin Fen still chose the ghost fighter that he was most skilled in handling. There was some astonishment but also excitement in his heart. It didn’t matter what level the other person was in flight, he was confident in battling them.
One thing to know was that Qin Fen had a thirteen percent chance of winning when he practiced with Captain Trash one-on-one.
In terms of air combat, Qin Fen had a talent that others couldn’t imagine.
Lin Ling was an ace-level pilot. This was something he looked forward to achieving.
Being able to take the proudest skill you have with cuts and bruises will inspire the ambitions of others.
There was no need for more conversations. Both of them entered into battle positions. Lin Ling also chose a ghost fighter.
As the game started with the shout of the word “Fight!” Lin Ling’s quick hands operated the device. She wanted to take-off first to get a head start.
Qin Fen didn’t think about taking off. His hands on the device sped up its operation. Before Lin Ling’s plane could take-off, it turned into a pile of debris. The four English letters on the screen were particularly glaring.
“Over.”
“Over.”
Lin Ling stared at the screen for two seconds. She had never encountered such a combat method before.
Qin Fen pointed to Lin Ling’s screen, “The second round has started, you can choose the fighter now.”
Lin Ling didn’t make any checks on the fighter. She still stubbornly chose the same ghost fighter as Qin Fen.
“Fight!”
“Fight!”
Boom…
This time, Lin Ling’s speed doubled from the explosion of the fighter.
Qin Fen didn’t know the opponent’s tactic thus he slowed down first. This time, Qin Fen annihilated his opponent before his opponent could figure out the situation.
“Round three. I will still use this tactic.”
Qin Fen spoke his strategy indifferently. After a few seconds, he blasted Lin Ling’s fighter once again.
“Tonight, I will use the same tactic a hundred times to defeat you a hundred times.”
Qin Fen’s arrogance didn’t bring about any expression in Lin Ling.
But he didn’t care about this. All he wanted was to fulfill his raving.
One hundred rounds would probably be a very, very long time for two people in air combat.
But for Qin Fen and Lin Ling, the time taken wouldn’t be really long.
Qin Fen always followed what he said, that was he would use this tactic to fight to the end.
It didn’t matter what kind of fighter Lin Ling decided to change to. If the first thing a pilot did was to start up the protective shield, he would be defeated within a blink of an eye.
What was there to be afraid of? Even if Lin Ling wanted to attempt to copy Qin Fen’s tactics to invoke mutual destruction, she wouldn’t be able to do it.
Qin Fen’s operating skills could only be described as an insane level. His precision in operation was more intimidating than a computer. The leaping kind of thinking will leave a computer unprepared.
One hundred rounds.
Qin Fen stretched his lower back and used his peripheral vision to assess the ace-level Lin Ling.
In these hundred rounds, Lin Ling would taste insults like never before.
In a situation where she was being told the tactics, she was defeated in a hundred consecutive games. There was once when she didn’t even have the opportunity to take off.
That was because, in the last thirty games, Qin Fen once said, “If you can take off, then you’d be considered the winner.”
As a result, in the face of such provocation, Lin Ling had no ability to resist at all.
This time, she was silent for a whole minute as she faced the screen.
A minute later, she looked up Qin Fen and said, “I can’t beat you at this stage. You’re better than me.”
Qin Fen had never encountered such a rational woman. Her reasoning was like a machine. Even the great winning sensation was shot down by that.
“You don’t want to beat me?”
“I can’t win.” Lin Ling walked out of the cabin, “It doesn’t make any sense to keep competing.”
Qin Fen felt like a failure, being busy all night and now it seemed like it was without progress.
Both of them headed out of the playground. When they walked toward the door, Qin Fen fumbled for the few coins in his pocket. He then looked at the claw crane[1] by the door.
In the principle of saving, Qin Fen came to the front of the claw crane while Lin Ling stood quietly at the side.
These grab machines had only small plush toys which were girls’ stuff, hairpins and the like. There was absolutely no suitable item for men.
Qin Fen looked at Lin Ling at the side, “What do you want?”
“You won, I lost. I shouldn’t be rewarded.”
Lin Ling still appeared as though it was natural. This kind of answer put Qin Fen in deep thought. What type of human trained her into that?
Qin Fen didn’t ask for Lin Ling’s opinion again. If Qin Fen still couldn’t figure out the kind of person she was after the interactions tonight, then one would be idiotic.
He looked at Lin Ling. She was already dressed perfectly. She would have looked even better with a hairclip.
Coins. Plush toys.
Controlling the power and performing the power analysis was not a difficult task for Qin Fen.
Soon, he caught sight of that beautiful hair clip, and he got it.
“For you.”
Qin Fen handed over the hairclip.
“For me?” Lin Ling was taken by some surprise. She reached out for the hair clips. She studied it, “It’s not suitable for battle. It’ll fall off easily.”
Qin Fen realized that he had never met a battling fanatic, the kind who used battles to assess everything.
He simply took the hair clip from Lin Ling’s hands., He pinned it in her hair clumsily. He then dragged her before a mirror, “How do you feel? Don’t bother about its efficiency in battle.”
“It looks good.”
Lin Ling’s answer finally made Qin Fen felt like she had a normal side.
“Well, in that case, keep it on.” As Qin Fen finished speaking, he turned around and began to combat with the claw crane. He wanted to grab a bracelet. At first sight of the bracelet, he felt that it was very suitable for Song Jia. Even if he couldn’t give it to her the moment he grabbed it, he would give it to her the next time he met her.
Lin Ling looked at her reflection in the mirror blankly. She then gazed at Qin Fen, who was concentrating on grabbing things. In the end, she removed the hairclip. Any observer would never be able to gather what her thoughts were from her expressionless face.
By the time they reached their residence, Qin Fen was no longer discussing things like happiness, warmth, and blessedness with Lin Ling. He knew that for her, these things cannot be understood in one or two days.
Qin Fen was tired after combating with the veterans for a day.
He took a shower and found Lin Ling staring at the computer screen. They didn’t continue to communicate with each other.
I took a set of twenty-four simplified styles of Tai Chi boxing in a hurry. After cooling down, I went to bed. In my dreams, I trained with another master.
“The meaning of a ‘gift’…”
Lin Ling scrolled through the internet, seeking the definition of a ‘gift’. What women gave women, men gave women, women gave men, what wives gave husbands, and vice versa.
No matter what the answer was, a gift was a token from the heart. It signified amiableness.
Lin Ling took out the hairclip. This was the first gift she had received. The internet said that the first gift was extraordinarily precious.
“There is no combat function. It’s cumbersome in combat…” Lin Ling said in a whisper. She then clipped back the battle-ineffective hair clip into her hair. She looked at it for a moment before carefully placing it on the dressing table. She changed into her adorable pajamas and lay on Qin Fen’s bed.
Qin Fen was completely unaware of this. He was undergoing arduous training in his dream. The master today was all harsh and fierce. His firm fists showed no weakness as it came one after the other. What he used was an even more ferocious punching technique.
The only thing that made Qin Fen felt gratified was that the master’s punch was a four-star peak fist!
You must know that not long ago, when any of the masters here took the first shot, they used the strength of two stars. With this, they could already punch the teeth out of a four-star of their time.
Nowadays, the strength of four stars was only enough to bring down an opponent to a disadvantaged state. This was undoubtedly a tremendous progress in power control.
However, the higher the level one rose to, the more difficult it was to control the power. Qin Fen even suspected that he had entered the six-star level. In the face of all these masters’ attacks, he was still at the level of four stars.
Soon, Qin Fen was bored with this speculation.
The goal right now was to strive to improve his strength, so that the task could be completed successfully in the near future. This was also a challenge for oneself.
If I don’t even have the guts to enter the Golden Triangle, then what heroism would I have to face the challengers that will come at any time from the other planets?
With a goal, Qin Fen’s efforts were even more vigorous.
In the following week, Qin Fen spent time with the veterans in the gravity chamber during the day. Every day, technicians conducted special maintenance in the gravity chamber in preparing for it to be used on the next day.
In the evening, Qin Fen would accompany Lin Ling, who had been taking the initiative in suggesting places to go in search for the emotion called ‘happiness’.
Late at night, he was being trained by masters in his dreams.
In particular, the master of theory. This time, he and Qin Fen didn’t discuss which direction he was headed for. Instead, he spoke to Qin Fen about the advantages and disadvantages of various martial arts.
As for the insight of internal strength, Qin Fen had never thought that he was a master. Of course, he was never humble.
As for the being able to cultivate Heart Sutra Of Fair Maiden, he began to realize that it was a relatively overpowered as his martial arts got better.
However, this overpowering really meant nothing to him.
Qin Fen thought that the discussion with the master of theory was just to broaden his horizon.
But when he woke up the next day and went for a fight with the veterans again, he realized that he would unconsciously screen through the good and the bad of each skill during the fight. Even when he was simulated by Jin Gang Constitution, he could easily double the boost.
One week was neither long nor short. It had been a busy and fulfilling week for Qin Fen.
Although there was no further breakthrough, Qin Fen felt that he was very close to six-star.
Moreover, even if there was no breakthrough, Qin Fen was confident that upon being trained these few days, he could take on any six-star warrior. The one who will suffer a loss won’t be him.
