Chapter 1527: The Fastest Trainee Ever to Graduate

A small forest about one kilometer from the training base.

Looking up at the blue sky and the light passing through the gap between the leaves, Sun Rong, lying on the ground, felt a little nostalgic.

Speaking of which, how long has it been since I was assigned to this training base after graduation?

He didn’t remember the specific date of his enlistment. He only remembered that he had been out of modern society for almost two years...

In the past two years, he wanted to leave this place every single day.

Not only because of the boring disconnected life here. It was also because he didn’t want to spend his precious time in a training camp.

However, cruel trials had defeated him time and time again. Whenever he signed up for an exam, full of confidence, the final outcome was always being beaten back to the starting line.

However, he was a strong man after all.

Even though reality knocked him to the ground time and time again, he never felt frustrated. Instead, he used his experience from countless failures and became more and more courageous.

He could clearly feel that every failure made him braver and stronger.

This was true both for himself and for the parts on his body that had been replaced...

However, this time, a deep sense of frustration swept through his body.

An ancient man from 100 years ago, who hasn’t even used modern science to transform even a single cell in his body, who uses some conventional weapons and mechanical exoskeleton, beat me to this degree.

Maybe... I have been wrong since the beginning.

The problem is not the parts at all, but the one who uses those parts...

“You won... Can you help me put my legs on?”

Wang Peng picked up the dagger that fell on the ground and stuffed it back into the toolbox. After hearing the words of the man lying on the ground, he hesitated and shook his head.

“I only know how to take them off... I haven’t learned how to install them yet.”

Sun Rong sighed.

“All right then... That’s unfortunate.”

...

Sun Rong wasn’t the only one who didn’t expect that he would be defeated so badly in the hands of an old popsicle. The examiners in charge of invigilating the test also did not expect the outcome of this match.

Inside the invigilation room.

The dead silence permeated among the examiners at the scene.

They were worried that a newcomer like Wang Peng, who had just enlisted for a month, might have an accident during the exam. Therefore, the examiners in the invigilation room were paying attention to the entire process of the test, and they didn’t expect to see the test end in this manner.

As the examiner looked at the monitor screen in disbelief, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Play it again... Show all the angles! Let me see how he did it!”

The staff standing next to the monitor gulped. His index finger quickly tapped a few times on the holographic screen.

Soon, twelve monitoring images of various viewing angles were projected on the holographic screen.

The whole battle ended in less than 5 minutes.

After entering the battlefield, Wang Peng took the lead by using an EMP grenade. After finding out that it didn’t work, he quickly distanced himself from Sun Rong.

After ten seconds of chasing, Wang Peng disappeared from Sun Rong’s sights using a heat-source blocking smoke bomb.

Just when everyone thought that the newcomer would distance himself and try to make up for his physical weakness with firearms, an astonishing event happened.

Wang Peng, who had been swallowed by the smoke, did not retreat. Instead, he rushed towards Sun Rong as he drew out the knife that was tied to his leg.

The result was decided in an instant.

Obviously, Sun Rong didn’t expect that Wang Peng, who had been chased by him, was planning to attack under the cover of the smoke bomb. When he noticed Wang Peng’s shadow, everything was too late.

His mechanical nerve for his leg was severed, a [(left) (right) bionic leg damage] notice was displayed on his heads-up display screen. This was followed by a severe injury to the back and a message that his elbow joint was also popped out.

“Unbelievable...” The examiner murmured to himself, “This speed... Is he even a human?”

“It seems that he has mastered the technique of fighting prosthetic implants and can accurately hit their weak points. This is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.” With his arms across his chest, the deputy examiner pinched his chin. He thought for a moment and said, “Of course, our bionic implants also need to be improved. If we encounter such an opponent on the battlefield... the implants will become a disadvantage.”

“There is also the AI battlefield analysis system. Although individual behavior cannot be predicted by mathematical models, the results of the calculations should not deviate to such an extent.” Looking at the combat power analysis index and the result prediction on the screen, Wang Peng’s instructor Lin Feng continued in a gentle tone, “This system should also be updated.”

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke.

“Could it be Sun Rong dropping the ball again?”

“Impossible.” The chief examiner shook his head. “Except for the problem of underestimating his enemy, he did his best today, but he probably did not expect that his opponent would be so strong.”

One of the examiners asked, “Then will he pass the first round of the exam?”

The examination room went silent again.

“Increase the difficulty of the next two rounds.” The chief examiner finally broke the silence. He said, “After all, it is too ridiculous to graduate in one month.”

The deputy examiner standing next to him couldn’t help but show a wry smile on his face.

Ridiculous?

It is quite ridiculous...

After a month of entering the training base, he took the first round of tests and defeated Sun Rong, who had trained for two years.

This was tantamount to hitting all of them in the face, clearly indicating that the entire training base was rubbish.

They couldn’t accept this!

Lin Feng, who was standing at the side, suddenly spoke.

“I heard that he used to be Academician Lu’s bodyguard.”

After hearing these words, everyone sighed in relief, and their mood recovered a little.

Academician Lu’s bodyguard?

I see!

Although they didn’t really value those old popsicles who came into the future, considering the situation back then, being able to serve as Academician Lu’s bodyguard was no small task...

...

The remaining two rounds of exams were over, and the results this time were quite miserable. Of the 200 applicants, only one passed all the tests.

The most annoying thing was the fact that the only candidate who passed, only took a one-month course and was also an old popsicle from 100 years ago...

In the dormitory.

Wang Peng, who had received his “graduation certificate”, was packing his bags.

He only brought a few clothes when he came here, and he didn’t bring too many things. However, he still had to clean and tidy up.

Especially for things like clothes and blankets, he almost had an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Everything must be neatly folded, preferably the kind with straight edges and corners.

Suddenly, he heard a knock at the door.

Wang Peng did not look up. With his back to the door, he said casually, “Come in.”

The door opened, and Instructor Lin Feng walked in.

“The car is already waiting at the entrance. We will send you to the nearest maglev station.”

“Thank you.”

Because the work of the Security Bureau itself was rather mysterious, although the training base was responsible for training agents in accordance with the standards of the special forces, there was no information connection between the two organizations.

Wang Peng, who now held a “certificate of completion”, needed to report back to the Security Bureau himself.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome, this is our job.” Lin Feng nodded. He smiled and continued, “Speaking of which, when you get out of here, what are you going to do?”

Wang Peng thought for a while and said, “There is nothing to do. After all, I have woke up for less than two months, and I don’t know much about this era... Anyway, let’s talk to my superiors first, then go to Jinling and take a look.”

Although he was no longer Lu Zhou’s driver, Lu Zhou was a fellow from the same era and a close friend. He wanted to share this good news with him as soon as possible.

Lin Feng: “What I mean is, are you leaving so quickly because of the case?”

Upon hearing this unexpected question, Wang Peng frowned.

“Case?”

“Nothing, just asking out of curiosity.” Lin Feng smiled and said, “I realized that you are different from my students, you are from the Security Bureau. In that case, I will not ask anymore questions. My mistake.”

Lin Feng continued, “I wish you a smooth journey.”

Wang Peng replied, “Although it was only a month, I will remember the name of each of you.”

After nodding, Lin Feng turned around and left.

Looking at the closed door, Wang Peng frowned but didn’t say anything. Instead, he turned to face his suitcase and folded his clothes meticulously.

For some reason, the conversation made him feel a little strange.

“Out of curiosity...?”

Academician Lu seemed to like to say this.

But...

Do robots feel curiosity?

Wang Peng continued to fold his clothes while feeling puzzled.

Honestly, he didn’t understand how sentient the robots of this era were...
