Chapter 6: The Gundam Pilot Says Yes

The space inside the lighthouse was narrow, so Lin Bo carried rubber piles and went out to find a secluded place to practice.

The lighthouse is built on a coastal headland, a long, triangular strip of land extending out to sea.

Walking west is a beach where children often play and go to the sea.

To the east are sparsely populated sea cliffs, with pounding waves hitting the jagged reefs, and many broken sampans brought by the sea among the rocks on the shore.

Lin Bo walked two miles eastward. The terrain gradually rose and there was a cliff at his feet. Looking down, he could hardly see the cliff. The slope became steeper as he went to the bottom. The slope angle had already exceeded 90°. The bottom of the mountain was severely eroded by sea water, and a natural cave had been formed.

"(Word Spirit) Bronze Moon."

He soared into the air, slowly descended along the cliff wall, and came to the entrance of the natural cave, but did not continue to go deeper into the dark cave.

Lin Bo found a natural platform that would not be swallowed by the high tide. Above his head was a hundred-meter-high rock, casting a shade to block the scorching sun. Looking west, he could see the white lighthouse standing on the cape, like a short piece of white chalk.

Ordinary people who want to reach this place either have to climb down from the cliff and risk falling to their death, or cross the reef zone at the risk of capsizing their boat, which basically cuts off visitors. The only neighbors are seagulls, bats and fish.

He held up the rubber target. Although it was a gift, it was very practical.

The main body of the target is a cylinder, to which a horizontal bar can be added to make it into the shape of a wooden man. The outer layer is divided into three sections, representing the head, body, and legs, all of which can rotate smoothly to imitate the opponent's moves.

The businessman also said that this kind of rubber pile was actually originally a training prop for martial artists, boxers, warriors and other professions.

Lin Bo added two horizontal bars to the target, the short one was placed on the head to simulate the sight, and the long one was placed on the chest to simulate the weapon.

The simulated combat training began. The target spun, along with the two horizontal bars representing sight and weapon. Lin Bo needed to circle around the back of the target's head and thrust the short spear into the neck.

At the beginning, he didn't know how to do it and always missed. Either he didn't avoid the wooden man's sight, or he was forced back by the weapon.

"Hu——" After trying more than ten times, Lin Bo had to pause as his magic power was exhausted.

The blood vessels in my temples were throbbing, my heart was beating rapidly due to lack of energy, and I had a slight feeling of nausea.

At this time, a prompt pops up on the comprehensive network.

[Skill judgment successful, [Mantra Control - Flow] basic proficiency +1]

[Exquisiteness coefficient × 1.5 (slightly ingenious)]

【Health status coefficient × 1.4 (Excellent)】

[Inspiration proficiency +0.5 (I am walking on a brand new path)]

Final calculation result: [Mantra Control - Style] proficiency +2.6

"Practicing to complete exhaustion only gave me a proficiency of 2.6." Lin Bo frowned.

Unlike the Black Snake Meditation Technique which only requires 50 proficiency points to upgrade, the Mantra Control Technique, probably because of its higher status, requires as much as 1 experience points for a level 1000 upgrade.

To recover naturally from mental exhaustion, one needed a good night's sleep. Even using the Black Snake Meditation Technique took three hours, meaning even if one did nothing else, they could only practice eight times a day, taking over a month to reach level two.

In fact, it will probably take about half a year to accumulate 1000 proficiency points.

"We have to use technology." Lin Bo pondered what methods could speed up mental recovery. "The cheapest tranquilizing potion costs 10 disaster coins, and the awakening potion with immediate effects costs over disaster coins.

"This money can't be made by others. It's better to buy some magical herbs and grow them yourself, and make your own potions. It's best to make potions that are harmless to the body, otherwise if you drink too much, you might end up with a pointy head."

He originally planned to try the two player development paths of planting and medicine.

The medical level of this era was very average. Although they had moved away from the two-piece set of bloodletting and enema, many diseases that seemed common in later generations were still untreatable.

What’s even more terrifying is that in this era, there is no awareness of disinfection and sterilization in surgical operations, and the operating table is no different from a slaughterhouse.

Becoming a doctor would undoubtedly give this black person a very high reputation. The lighthouse keeper was of no importance to Stone Tower Town. Not many people attended the funeral when old Tim died, but if he became a doctor, he would definitely be sought after.

In addition to configuring mental potions and increasing the number of practice sessions, you can also look for ways to increase your proficiency, such as the special effects of equipment and the current version's limited item [Knowledge Fragments].

Knowledge Fragments are not only a key item for improving skill levels, but can also significantly increase basic proficiency.

The types of fragments dropped by different copies are also different. The fragments dropped by the [Mechanical Factory] are basically technology fragments.

There were no fragments of True Name Mage's knowledge in the merchant's inventory, and Lin Bo did not take the initiative to inquire about it.

He didn't think it was sensible to brag about his gamer profession everywhere, and he hadn't established a real trusting relationship with any player.

Lin Bo sat cross-legged in meditation for nearly three hours before opening his eyes. His proficiency in the Black Serpent Meditation Technique increased by 1.4. Only a complete meditation session like this could increase his proficiency. In other words, practicing Mantra Control would be very helpful in improving his meditation level.

His stomach growled. Lin Bo took out the packaged bread, salted fish, and water from his pocket. This was his daily diet.

The bread is dry, the salted fish tastes bitter and fishy, ​​and the clear water has a faint smell of sourness.

"Let's go to the White Snail Tavern for dinner tonight," Lin Bo thought as he ate. He had saved a little money from selling shipwreck coins, which not only paid off Old Tim's inheritance but also provided him with some extra cash to improve his living conditions.

In the last practice in the afternoon, Lin Bo did not act recklessly, but stared at the rotating target and thought about his strategy.

On the sea not far away, circling seagulls are fishing. They swoop lightly from the air, tearing the water surface with their claws and toes, and grabbing the dazed little fish.

"Birds are my teachers. There were no air combat skills in human martial arts in previous lives. So if I want to get inspiration, I have to learn from birds and fighter jets." Lin Bo thought.

"Are there any techniques suitable for aerial combat with humanoid creatures?"

Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.

There are no humans fighting in air combat in reality, but they do exist in fantasy works, and Lin Bo had even caught a glimpse of it when browsing the merchant's inventory, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

[Lighthouse Guest]: Brother Agilent, I want to buy the Mobile Suit Fighting Skills Manual

[Duolian Duoyi Network-Merchant Agilent]: Let me test it, buddy, are you driving a Gundam?

[Lighthouse Guest]: I want to use it myself

[Agilent]: I don't understand, but I'm deeply shocked.jpg
Mobile Suit, a well-known fantasy work, has many derivative conceptual elements and has a large number of fans among online game players.

In the proving grounds of the multiverse, the skills of piloting mobile suits have been honed and improved countless times, and finally a set of unarmed and weapon-based combat techniques for air, water, and space combat specifically for humanoid combat weapons has been compiled.

Mecha fighting techniques have thus become a monument in the martial arts of the universe.

To Lin Bo, his body is indeed just a mecha. But isn't his mind also that of a Gundam pilot?

Mecha combat is an important branch of the martial arts department, and there are many related skill books.

However, Lin Bo simply bought the data files and taught himself. After all, true mecha combat is more like driving a car, with the driver pulling the joystick, or more advanced neural connections. The essence lies in the coordination between the human and the body.

All he needed were the techniques and concepts used in mecha fighting, focusing on the "form" rather than the "spirit".

"The Essentials of Frost Sky Mecha Fighting Techniques" is priced at 40 Disaster Coins. If it is a skill book, it will be 8000 Disaster Coins.

This shows how much equipment and items that can directly increase combat effectiveness are in high demand. In comparison, a new player-friendly auxiliary skill like Meditation is truly inexpensive and good value.

Now with only six Disaster Coins left, Lin Bo felt a sense of peace and contentment. He flipped through the paper cheats, discarding most of the driving techniques that didn't make sense to him. There wasn't much left that was actually useful.

Even so, this kind of experience and skills based entirely on three-dimensional space combat still opened Lin Bo's eyes. It was not something he could summarize just by practicing and thinking here.

This set of Frost Sky Flow Machine Tactics was compiled after a large number of computer simulations and actual combat screenings, and it gathered the inspiration of countless pilots in times of crisis, and finally became a school of its own. It pays special attention to air-to-air and air-to-ground suppression. When fighting, it is like a frosty wind that fills the sky and penetrates every gap.

Techniques emphasize crispness and agility, often employing spears, halberds, and long-handled swords as primary weapons. They must exploit openings and attack enemies without sacrificing their own. Incorporating real-time calculations from onboard artificial intelligence, they can dodge enemy attacks like a feather swimming in the air, requiring exceptional mobility.

The pilot who performs the Frost Sky Style will install a large number of vector nozzles on the mecha, but Lin Bo does not have that condition, so he can only rely on the Mantra Control Technique to forcibly simulate the actual effect.

Thanks to the powerful effect of the Mantra Control Technique, after practicing a few times, Lin Bo was able to replicate the tactical movements of the mecha almost perfectly, which was exactly the same as the technical points described in the secret book. It can be said that he has reached the advanced realm of man-machine unity that many pilots pursue throughout their lives.

However, extreme high-speed maneuvers can still place a significant strain on the body. Sudden acceleration can cause cerebral ischemia, leading to fainting and damage to internal organs.

The Frost Sky Style has a total of 44 established moves. Lin Bo can only handle the first 14 moves, and can only use 7 moves in actual combat. But this is more than enough.

"(Word Spirit) Bronze Moon." Lin Bo jumped up and glided forward like a falcon with its wings spread.

The rotating rubber pile swept the weapon bar towards the mage, and the flying figure floated slightly upward like a blown feather, with the waist and abdomen clear of the end of the bar.

The black shadow in the air approached within a few inches, then suddenly dived like a fish to avoid sight, and then circled up like a snake. When passing by, the short spear in his hand was thrust backwards, and his posture seemed to be light as if he didn't intend to use any force, but the spear head had already sunk deeply into the pile.

The heavy target jumped as if it had been hit by an explosion, fell back to the ground, and staggered twice before regaining its balance. The short spear stuck in it was still trembling slightly.

From maneuverability to power, the skills simulated by the Mantra Control Technique already have some of the charm of the original Frost Sky Style.

Lin Bo no longer has any worries about tomorrow's dungeon exploration.
