That's it?

"Hiss~"

The door opened, and everyone looked at the environment inside with blank expressions.

As expected, nothing special…

Oh, wait.

In a spacious room, ten ordinary-looking treadmills were placed side by side. On each treadmill, their ten individuals' projections were thoughtfully displayed.

On each projection, there was a hoop around their forearms, upper arms, waist, and legs, connected to the wall by an unknown purpose.

At the same time, there were small coffin-like compartments on both sides of the room.

"That's it?" Ostrich looked at the equipment in the room with a dejected expression, complaining unhappily, "Hey, Guo Yi, are we really just supposed to run?"

"Shut up. Run if you want, don't if you don't. Annoy me again, and I'll make you dance!"

"……"

Alright, Ostrich shut up immediately upon hearing the word "dance."

This wasn't a reconnaissance mission requiring disguise. If he could avoid cross-dressing, he would.

Helplessly, everyone could only get on the treadmills with peace of mind.

After they put on the hoops, as they started to run, they felt something strange.

"Hey, hey, hey, do you guys feel it?" Ostrich spoke to everyone else immediately, "This training suit is electric?"

"It's probably not an electric current, just simulating a neural signal.

It directly acts on the motor unit nerves in the form of electrical pulses, making muscles move without going through the brain. The professional term is EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation), which is muscle electro-stimulation technology.

It was initially used for the prevention and auxiliary treatment of muscle atrophy, and now it also includes people with weak or lost motor abilities, such as the elderly and long-term bedridden patients.

NASA uses this to help astronauts recover muscle strength after returning to Earth.

The earliest clinical application was over 200 years ago, in 1783, when it was used to restore the respiratory function of the diaphragm."

Shi Dafan explained to everyone.

As the medic, he understood this thing the most among them.

Then, he continued, "However, this is just auxiliary training. There's no scientific basis that this auxiliary training can effectively enhance muscles.

Moreover, prolonged use could damage internal organs!"

"So, pay attention to your goggles. When the human body diagram turns red, get into the coffins and stay there!

Those coffins are treatment pods that will treat your bodies!

The medicinal extracts refined from those herbs will be administered to you through the treatment pods!"

Guo Yi seemed to have heard their discussions and suddenly said through the earpiece, "Don't worry, I've been through all this. It's fine!"

After Guo Yi finished speaking, everyone carefully observed their goggles.

In the upper left corner of the goggles, a small anatomical diagram of the human body was displayed in their eyes. If they weren't paying attention, they might miss it.

Then, they ran for a whole day, bored.

Yes, too boring!

As seasoned special forces soldiers, the vanguards of the Special Field Regiment, this kind of prolonged running was less intense than their training during their initial boot camp.

So, that evening, Ostrich said unhappily to everyone else in the dormitory, "I say, everyone, are you just going to give up like this?

Just running like this?

Even with the so-called muscle electro-stimulation technology, what's the point?

This is not as effective as our own training!"

"Alright, Ostrich, stop complaining!" Shi Dafan said to him speechlessly, "The order has been given. What can you do?"

"I say, why don't we go and ask? I just feel like his training is unreliable!"

"What's there to ask?

If we keep training, we'll eventually know the reason!"

Following Ostrich's grumbling, the sharp-tongued Leng Feng added unhappily, "I don't get it either. What does running have to do with piloting a Gundam?

It would be better to let us start training directly!

What a waste of time!"

"Hey, look, look, someone supports me~"

Seeing that Leng Feng thought the same way, Ostrich grinned and slung an arm around Leng Feng, continuing to instigate them, "Everyone, think about that Gundam, think about the sea of stars! We can't waste time like this!

Alas, as someone once said, time is money!"

"Benjamin Franklin!" Xiao Zhuang rolled his eyes, playing along with Ostrich.

Then, he also said with some helplessness, "I think, brothers, maybe we can go and inquire.

After all, he's different from us and doesn't understand the training we received before."

It's normal for the difficulty to be lower then!

Just like that treatment with the coffin, he thought we could use it, but what happened?"

"Ai~ Xiao Zhuang put it clearly." Ostrich leaned towards Xiao Zhuang with a cheeky grin again, then clapped his hands: "Think about it, wherever we old birds are placed, aren't we all top experts?

Why are we still doing such boring, ineffective training?"

"Then let's go talk together?"

"Let's go! What are we waiting for?"

Instigated by Ostrich, Xiao Zhuang, Leng Feng, and Ostrich happily ran over to Guo Yi.

"So you're complaining that the difficulty is too low?

Doesn't suit your status?

You're not sleeping late at night and coming to me to give feedback?"

Guo Yi, with his back to the three of them, continued fiddling with the Super Advanced Deuterium Core and asked, "You need higher difficulty training?"

"It's not about increasing the training difficulty, but about us striving to become Gundam pilots!"

Ostrich sat cross-legged on the ground and said casually, "After all, time is tight and the mission is heavy.

You don't want to waste time, right!"

"Mm, you're right."

Guo Yi turned around, looked at them meaningfully, and promised, "Starting tomorrow, you'll experience it!

I guarantee it!"

Leng Feng and Xiao Zhuang exchanged glances, feeling a sense of foreboding.

Ostrich, upon hearing Guo Yi's promise, laughed heartily: "Then that's fine. We won't disturb you anymore, we'll go rest first!"

"You're asking for death! Asking for death! Asking for death!"

Doggy suddenly shouted as he watched the three leave.

Guo Yi picked up Doggy and smiled meaningfully: "Humans are both curious and disrespectful of the unknown.

They don't realize that only with reverence can humans safely explore the unknown!"

The next morning at 6 AM, everyone arrived at the running room dressed uniformly and began their warm-up jog.

"Ostrich, can you handle it?"

Shi Dafan whispered to Ostrich, covering his earpiece: "You said it would officially start today?

Why isn't there any movement?

Or was he just placating you?"

"He promised!" Ostrich said with a depressed expression: "A man's word is his bond, he wouldn't go back on it, would he?"

"He probably wouldn't..."

Xiao Zhuang and Leng Feng exchanged glances, saying with some worry: "Honestly, after his words yesterday, I just feel uneasy.

I have a bad feeling!"

"He's not Doghead Lao Gao." Ostrich said indifferently: "Even if it were Doghead Lao Gao, after all the major battles we've been through, are we still worried about the methods of a mere kid?

Don't be ridiculous."

"Is everyone here?" Suddenly, Guo Yi's voice, filled with yawns, sounded.

"Ten people reported, ten people present!" Geng Jihui immediately replied.

"Mm." Guo Yi rubbed his eyes, turned on the running room's projector, and then his faintly smiling words echoed in Lone Wolf and the others' ears: "Ostrich came to me yesterday and said this training was useless for you.

So I thought about it all night and adjusted your training plan, making corresponding micro-adjustments.

You shouldn't have any objections, right?"

"Mm."

"Ha~ Alright then, since that's the case, let's start the first stage!" Guo Yi announced the official start of training with a laugh.

Then, everyone in the running room simultaneously felt a sense of malice.
