Star Sea: Explorer's Notes

Chapter 6 Fighting Dolls
"Do you want to start now?"

Frege hesitated for a moment before chasing after him. Noah replied without looking back:

"It's not too late, you have no time to waste."

The two walked in the silver-white corridor, and Frege saw the thin gaps between the metal plates, and couldn't help but think back to the horror he had when he boarded the Amrodia.

After knowing his situation, he has temporarily given up his plan to report the situation to the investigation committee.

But other than that, he also wanted to report the safety of his sister who was far away on the home planet. He was worried that after a while, after the disappearance of the third survey group was classified as a death, what impulsive thing the sister would do after receiving the news.

But at this moment, the radiation flow in his body was like a sword of Damocles hanging above his head, and it would take half a year at most to cut him head-on.

If he didn't survive in the end...telling her would only add to her burden.

He sighed, finally letting go of contacting anyone entirely.

Noah pushed open the cabin door marked "S-1", the lights in the room turned on, and brand-new training equipment appeared in this tall and bright space.

"The training plan is divided into 6 modules, fighting skills, evasion training, firearm use, simulated wilderness survival, mental invasion resistance and virtual network intrusion technology."

"What you need to do now is only fighting skills practice, which is the most obvious improvement in physical fitness among all the items."

Frege nodded, and his eyes followed the direction of Noah's finger to a compartment surrounded by curved transparent baffles.

"That's the gravity room. It's for punishment...of course it's for punishment." Her eyes turned into crescents with a smile. "If the training exceeds the specified time and fails to complete, how long will you have to stay in it?" .”

Frege's eyes widened, "Should we be so strict..."

She then walked to a square arena, pointed to the silver-white humanoid machine standing motionless in the center, and said, "This is the place to train fighting skills, and the intelligent body above is your first training partner."

"Beating it counts as passing the training," she beckoned Frege onto the ring, "You can try it first."

"Endurance, willpower, and skill are not included in the standard scoring system, but they are also important indicators of combat effectiveness, and fighting skills are essential to defeating the enemy."

"Let's start when you are ready, and you will attack first."

"it is good."

This time, Frege didn't boast as much as when he first met Noah. After having the experience of being repaired, he will no longer be as careless as before.

He thinks he has a lot of fighting experience, after all, he was punished for fighting every year when he was in the academy.

Although, he was always being beaten passively, but in terms of experience, he had the most experience in resisting beatings.

"Countdown 3, 2, 1—start!"

Frege took a step forward and took the lead in attacking. The intelligent body looked thin and weak. If the strength was not much different from his, he would probably be able to knock it out of the field with a solid punch.

But as a professional training partner, this mechanical puppet is obviously not that easy to deal with.

Just when Frege's swift punch was about to touch the chest of the humanoid machine, the opponent easily dodged his attack with a small lateral movement, and then immediately raised his hands together in front of his chest, and pushed his elbows down hard. Smash——

Frege didn't have time to close the momentum. After being dodged by him, he couldn't control his figure. When the center of gravity was seriously shifted, he encountered another elbow on the back...

"Wow--"

He spit out a mouthful of blood, and then staggered forward.

After taking a few steps, he could no longer maintain his balance, and was beaten to the ground in one fell swoop.

"5, 4, 3..."

He just felt as if he couldn't lift up his body. When he heard Nuoya counting down, he immediately struggled to stand up.

However, the fighting doll didn't intend to give him a chance to breathe, and turned around and kicked him in the abdomen.

Frege was kicked into the air, and when he landed again, his face was covered in blood.

"Gentlemen...don't move your hands or feet!"

"But it's a mechanical puppet, not a gentleman," Nuoya said blankly, "If it's like this in the fighting field, if you really want to go to the battlefield and fight the enemy hand-to-hand, someone will make a three-pronged agreement with you, what can be used and what can't be used? ?”

"It's time, you lost," Nuoya walked to his side, reached out and picked him up, "Take a break and continue."

"Do you still want to continue?"

When he fell to the floor for the second time, Frege's jaw was dislocated, and it took him a long time to twist it back, "Mr. Nuoya, my strength is not at the same level as it is at all. what!"

"Who said that?" Nuoya glanced at him, "At present, all attributes of this doll are only E, and its strength is comparable to yours."

"As I said just now, in addition to standard scoring attributes, other attributes with a little subjective factor are also very important, especially in combat, which can reflect the importance of skills."

Hearing this, Frege stared at the fighting doll in a daze. He originally thought that this guy had at least C-level strength.

"I……"

"Instead of continuing to make excuses here, it's better to spend more energy thinking about how to deal with it." Nuoya folded his hands on his chest, obviously not planning to let him go. "Until you defeat it, you are not allowed to rest today."

"Isn't it?!"

Amidst howls, Frege spent a full 30 hours in this arena.

Strangely, instead of making him more and more tired from the battles, he became more energetic than before.

Nevertheless, the game between him and the fighting dolls will eventually end in failure.

................................................

It was the 199th time he was knocked to the ground.

"call……"

He was lying on the floor gasping for breath. Although there were no obvious wounds on his body, his blue and purple skin clearly showed his current state.

"5, 4, 3..."

Noah's countdown sounded in his ears, but when she counted to "3", the time around him seemed to freeze, and he felt that everything in his eyes suddenly became very slow - he couldn't even see it without careful observation. It turns out they are changing.

When he was surprised by the change in the environment, the explorer's notes in his mind automatically turned to a new page——

"Using the way of others, treat the body of others."

"Using his own way to treat his own body?"

The simple eleven words seemed to contain some kind of magical power, and Frege suddenly fell into a kind of enlightenment.

[Ability: Learning] Launched successfully.

Such a line of reminder appeared on the note, and everything in front of him returned to its original state after a while, and Noah's countdown continued.

"2, 1...you lost again."

This time, Frege didn't lie on the floor for a long time like before, he bounced up immediately, turned around and nodded to Noah behind him.

"Oh?"

Nuoya was also a little surprised by his changes. For some reason, she suddenly felt that the current Frege was a little different from before.

200th...

call--

Frege took a deep breath, his aura didn't seem to have changed from before.

"Eat my punch!"

As usual, Frege launched an attack from the front with a straight punch, and the fighting doll used the old tricks, still moving laterally with the same magnitude as before.

Frege once tried to feint with the first punch, but the opponent seemed to be able to judge the strength of his punch. If it was not enough to make the body unbalanced, it would not hide at all, but would choose to fight hard and use its strength to counterattack.

——So this time he must use all his strength.

What was different from before was that at the moment the fighting doll twisted away, his originally straight fist turned suddenly, turning its momentum into a sweeping momentum, and followed it in the direction it dodged.

His center of gravity was already on the verge of being out of balance, and this moment made him almost leave the ground with one foot.

It was not that the fighting doll did not encounter this kind of situation, and it naturally retreated a certain distance again. Judging from this situation, Frege would fall to the ground before hitting him, for example.

This trick seemed to be ineffective, and in the next second, Frege fell on his back without any surprise.

Immediately afterwards, the fighting puppet played its characteristic of making up swords, stepped forward and raised its legs to step on Frege's abdomen.

A flash of light flashed in the eyes of the latter, he ignored the buzzing head behind the ground, and exerted all his strength to grab the bottom of the puppet's feet in mid-air, and then threw it upward——

The opponent's strength hadn't reached the highest point, and after being intercepted by him like this, his body immediately became a little unstable.

But the puppet is a puppet after all, and its program contains anti-overturning skills. Soon his body regained its balance, and one foot and Frege's hands were deadlocked in midair.

Frege stood up slowly against the force of the downward pressure, with a painful expression on his face.

This kind of strength has already reached his limit...

"You got Fooled!"

At this moment, he suddenly let go and dodged in the middle of the play, and the puppet naturally rushed forward half a step with strength...

Frege on the side took the opportunity to hold his hands together in front of his chest, and slammed down with his elbow——

"Your moves are good, but now he's mine!"

The fighting doll was knocked to the ground by his blow, and Frege immediately stepped on its back.

“5、4、3、2、1……”

Noah didn't speak, he decided to count down by himself.

"I won!"
