At this moment, Guo Yi looked at the densely packed crowd and deeply comprehended a saying: man proposes, God disposes; therefore, people never know whether tomorrow or the accident will come first.
What on earth is all this?
Didn't they say they were going to resolve the large lecture?
How did it end up turning into a big lecture again?
The only consolation was that the atmosphere wasn't too serious—as long as one didn't look at their stiff and solemn expressions...
Moreover, the number of people wasn't very large, only around a hundred.
After all, the entire factory currently had about 2,000 people...
However, the more he tried to comfort himself, the weirder it felt.
In the end, Guo Yi silently sighed, and spoke up, "No wasting time. Those who haven't watched the combat playback can watch it later by themselves.
Those who don't want to attend can leave..."
Not a single person moved. Guo Yi then motioned to Geng Jihui, "You talk about it, and the others can supplement."
"Yes!"
Geng Jihui stood up and walked to the front of the crowd. "First is the most fundamental issue: Mobile Suit piloting.
When we pilot, the overall presentation is stiff, powerless, and irrational.
Therefore, we are unable to perform agile dodging.
Under complex terrain environments...
Second, the weapon selection issue.
We currently only have an understanding of some basic weapons, yet we pick weapons according to the habits of real people...
Third, the tactical selection issue.
Walls and houses are not solid in front of Mobile Suit weaponry, so we can have other tactical choices...
Fourth..."
Geng Jihui first fluently rattled off a dozen or so big and small problems, while other combat participants supplemented from time to time.
Finally, Geng Jihui summarized all the problems into two major issues: Mobile Suit combat modes can be unrestrained and imaginative.
It's not necessarily true that on the ground, one can only obediently run along the streets.
The second issue is: familiarity.
Just like driving a car, some people can drive a tractor and drift, while others can drive into a drainage ditch.
It is a matter of familiarity.
Only by strengthening the familiarity with Mobile Suits and achieving mastery as if they were extensions of one's own arms can one be considered qualified.
After listening to Geng Jihui's speech, Guo Yi spread his hands: fine, all the previous psychological buildup went to waste.
The problems that needed to be found were found, what needed to be said was said, and Geng Jihui said all the words.
What else could he say...
"Alright, since you all know it now, I'm going to go do my own thing!"
Guo Yi made his final statement and raised his foot, wanting to flash out of there.
"Report!"
However, Old Gao—it was Doghead Lao Gao again—suddenly shouted out again, "May I ask what we need to prepare in advance for the CIC study course?
Also, when can we start studying?"
"..."
Guo Yi narrowed his eyes, looked around at the exceptionally expectant crowd, and chuckled, "Ostrich!"
"Here!"
"Take these heroes and good fellows to the new physical training ground!
Oh right, the logistics guys too; everyone will take a physical fitness test together afterwards!"
Ostrich shuddered and shouted loudly, "Yes!"
Subsequently, Guo Yi turned around to lead the way.
As for Old Gao and the others, they sneaked to the back and asked Ostrich, "What's going on?
Did I say something wrong just now?"
Ostrich looked at the crowd, who were caught between curiosity and expectation, and bitter-and-twistedly shook his head. "Old Gao, back then Xiao Zhuang, Leng Feng, and I also did a similar thing!"
"And then?"
The surrounding people pricked up their ears: there's insider info!
"And then?
And then I can go perform floating space corpses right now!"
Having finished, Ostrich dropped his head along with Geng Jihui and the others, making no more sound.
Outside the physical training room, Guo Yi stood at the door, looked back at Old Gao, and asked, "Do you guys want to start formal training right now?"
"Report! Yes."
"Are you prepared?"
"Always ready!"
Guo Yi happily nodded. "Then experience it once first!"
"Report!" Ostrich asked with an ingratiating smile, "Do we have to skip it?"
"Do losers have the qualification to say no?"
With an inexplicable smile, Guo Yi rejected Ostrich's application. "You guys go on in.
Next, you Lao Geng guys handle it.
Oh right, take off your training uniforms once you get inside."
"..."
Geng Jihui looked at Guo Yi's departing back, and with a bitter face, said to the crowd, "Brothers, you guys didn't eat, did you..."
"Isn't it just physical training?
Why does it feel like you guys are about to die?"
Old Gao looked at the dawdling Geng Jihui, waved a large hand, and directly interrupted his speech, "It's not like you guys haven't done a physical fitness week before; why are you still so scared like this!"
Geng Jihui and the others exchanged glances, sighed with tacit understanding, and led the crowd into the physical training room.
Coming into view was an expansive plaza.
Expansive—aside from being expansive, it was just expansive.
No high-low bars, no obstacle zones, no muddy pits; there were only smooth, clean floors.
"This?"
The crowd looked at each other in dismay: Where was the promised physical training room?
Just this?
Was it just simple running?
"What is going on?"
Old Gao looked at the eleven-man squad, who had stripped off their training uniforms to wear only a pair of shorts and started doing warm-up exercises, momentarily not knowing whether he should do them or not.
First loosen up your bodies; you'll know in a moment.
"..."
Helpless, the crowd finished their warm-up exercises with heads full of bewildered questions.
Subsequently, after Geng Jihui and the others confirmed one by one that preparations were complete, he shouted, "Doggie, start the physical training mode."
"Collective Ultimate Physical Training Mode - Modified activated, officially starting after a 30-second countdown!"
"Holy crap!"
Ostrich let out an exclamation at the first moment, and then shouted while running, "Everyone scatter, keep an interval of more than one meter!"
"Whoosh~"
Geng Jihui and the others reacted swiftly and ran away following Ostrich, "Quick!
Little Ding-dong has turned dark again!"
"..."
The crowd watched as Geng Jihui and the others ran away as if they were being chased by dogs.
What the hell were they playing at?
Therefore, the crowd leisurely, in twos and threes, separated with heads full of question marks.
"Bip! Time is locked to six hours only, the repair room has been prepared, training begins!"
The 30 seconds passed very quickly; Old Gao and the others hadn't even blinked yet, let alone scattered.
Therefore, after Doggie's words fell, they knew what collective ultimate mode physical training was called.
They saw that on the originally empty training ground, trails of red lines suddenly appeared and moved rapidly.
At the same time, everyone felt that this place wasn't quite right anymore, as if they were carrying a person on their backs.
Old Gao took a rapid breath and then subconsciously dodged away from the red lines.
However, a logistics soldier beside Old Gao reached out and touched a red line...
"D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d~~"
The moment that logistics soldier's hand touched the red line, his whole body began to shake as if he had received an electric shock.
Seeing this, Old Gao couldn't help but have his heart skip a beat, and he drew in a cold breath. "Is this electricity?
Planning to electro~~d-d-d-d-d-d~"
Halfway through his words, a red line popped out from nowhere and pierced through Old Gao's body.
Following that, Old Gao crashed straight to the ground and shook while convulsing...
"Rest assured, with the repair pods around, people won't die."
Guo Yi's speech, suppressing a smile, suddenly resounded across the training ground. "Let me mention this, the training ground is only at one-G Earth standard gravity, which isn't hard for you.
Besides, it's only for six hours; just run, and don't get electrocuted!
Jia you!"
And by the time Guo Yi finished speaking, the newbies on the training ground had nearly been wiped out.
Only Ostrich and the others—who had already tried it and knew the mode—were still bouncing around.
However, they didn't even bounce for a minute before they also lay down on the ground, convulsing.
Because the area where they were located, under Guo Yi's secret instructions, had Doggie directly control the movement of the red lines to surround them and narrow the range...
Everyone is a brother; they couldn't let just those guys show off!
After everyone lay down, the red lines also stopped moving, and at the same time Doggie appeared again: "Restarting in 30 seconds, please seize the time."
"..."
Old Gao got up tremblingly, exchanged glances with the people beside him, and then took off running.
He finally understood why Ostrich and the others would run away and stay far, far away...
The larger the dodging range, the harder it was to get hit!
As time passed, the second training officially began.
Everyone also understood why Geng Jihui and the others would look so mournful!
If you didn't run, this damn thing would shock you into a state between heaven and earth; if you ran, you had to watch out for the surroundings and the red lines, and if you were slightly careless, you'd be in that state again...
Anyway, it was all about being shocked to death!
As for the ones who deliberately lay down, they had it even worse: Doggie directly controlled the red lines and blasted them for a 10-second exposure, directly knocking them out with electricity.
Then automated robots dragged them like corpses into the repair pods...
Matched with the exterior appearance of the repair pods...
If Geng Jihui and the others hadn't explained, everyone would have thought that person was dead and directly sent them off with a coffin for burial!
Thus, the people at the physical training ground were thrown into a chaotic mess, and through Doggie's broadcast, the entire workforce also knew what kind of ghost physical training was.
More importantly, everyone understood one thing: Little Ding-dong really was pitch-black on the inside once you cut him open!
To this, Guo Yi expressed that he knew nothing at all.
Seeing that the training ground had finally grown lively, he didn't check on Ostrich and the others' situation anymore.
Anyway, with Doggie around, as long as people didn't die, it was fine.
Injured or crippled, they could just wait for the Universal Medical Pod to come out.
As long as one's brain wasn't stupid, lacking hands or feet wouldn't delay studying and reading books...
Therefore, after returning to his room, Guo Yi announced his seclusion to begin the final and most troublesome work.
