Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

After that, Luo Kunlun began to strive to become a veteran, that is, one of his own.

With his nanomachines, no one can match him in physical strength and skills; all Luo Kunlun needs to do is demonstrate his excellent level of professionalism.

What followed was a series of battles, including the suppression of bandits and territorial conflicts.

That's perfectly fine. Luo Kunlun already had a record of single-handedly disarming two bandits and killing them without sustaining any injuries, something the veterans knew.

Finally, it's about overcoming the "human relationship hurdle" and becoming "one of us."

First, obedience; second, teamwork; and third, loyalty.

The morning light in the barracks always broke with the sound of bugles, and Luo Kunlun was almost always the first person to stand on the training ground.

He never flaunted his abilities; his spear thrusts were precise but he didn't pursue extreme speed; he always maintained a high position in the weighted running group; and he always held back his strength when sparring with swords to avoid directly defeating his opponent.

Having nanomachines would allow him to easily crush others, but Luo Kunlun knew that being one step ahead was genius, but being ten or a hundred steps ahead was an anomaly or monster.

This is a world similar to the Middle Ages, in which nobles bathed in the blood of virgins in order to maintain their youth.

To go to such lengths simply to maintain one's skin—if those nobles knew about Luo Kunlun's extraordinary abilities, they would really do anything.

You only need to be good enough; being too outrageous will only cause you trouble.

Nevertheless, Luo Kunlun's performance was still impressive, prompting the comment, "This kid will definitely be on par with you, Boss Gray, in the future!"

"As expected of the people recruited by the centurion of Hande, they are capable and know how to get things done."

Several veterans sighed as they looked at Luo Kunlun on the training field.

When on guard duty, "Loren" always arrives 15 minutes early; after training, while others are busy resting, he stays behind to help the veterans wipe their armor and polish their weapons, even wiping the most difficult-to-clean crevices of the scabbards until they shine with a fine cloth.

When veterans asked him to help carry messages or items, he never missed a request and never asked for payment.

In addition, they help others grow by proactively sharing training experiences, tips, and so on.

These techniques are the optimal solutions analyzed by nanomachines, but he packaged them as tips he had discovered, so that they did not seem abrupt and could genuinely help others.

The young people respected him, and the veterans felt that this young man understood the importance of the big picture and was selfless.

As for loyalty, Luo Kunlun was impeccable.

Some people in the camp complained privately about the intensity of the training, and even complained that the lord levied too much tax. When he heard this, he never said anything, but reminded them that it was enough to complain a little in private, and not to talk about it, so as not to give others a handle to use against them.

This attitude made the veterans trust him even more.

Nobody likes a tattletale, even if they benefit from it.

But no matter where you are, one thing remains constant.

That is, loyalty is often more important and has a higher priority than ability. Luo Kunlun, with his three lifetimes of experience, naturally understands this principle.

"Loren is reliable" has become a consensus in the barracks.

In short, Luo Kunlun completely integrated into the circle in just two months.

If someone can overcome personal relationships, is loyal, and is also highly capable, how could they not be promoted without being promoted?

Therefore, when Gray reported his idea of ​​promoting "Loren" to veteran to Layton, Layton nodded almost without hesitation. This young man, who was personally appreciated by Knight Hand, was impeccable in both combat strength and character, and would surely be a capable subordinate in the future.

In his sixth month of service, during the battalion assembly, Gray stood at the front of the ranks and announced:

"Loren, you're no longer a recruit, you're promoted to veteran!"

Afterwards, Luo Kunlun received a thicker leather armor, moved into the veterans' barracks, and was also given a small personal wooden box.

This meant he finally had space to store his personal belongings, and more importantly, he gained the long-awaited private free time.

That night, Luo Kunlun lay on his bed in the veterans' barracks, without the slightest slackening, and immediately retrieved all the data Zero had collected over the past few months from scanning Layton.

Countless breathing rate curves and muscle activity diagrams unfolded in his mind, and a subtle yet crucial discovery emerged:

Whenever Layton's breathing rhythm and sword-swinging movements reach a specific ratio of 1:3, his stamina value will briefly jump.

The magnitude was imperceptible, but under the scanning of nanomachines, this improvement was visualized.

The numerical increase is approximately 0.01.

It may seem like a small amount, but with repeated exposure over many years, it can significantly improve a person's physical fitness.

This phenomenon was triggered twice in two months.

The reason why the knight broke through his physical limits is probably this special phenomenon!

The core of breathing techniques is not just about regulating endocrine function and absorbing nutrients from food, but also about triggering this special phenomenon through specific frequencies.

The cause has been found, and the veteran's identity has been confirmed. The next step is the experiment.

The next day at noon, after finishing lunch, Luo Kunlun immediately went to Jack to report that he was going out.

"You're already eager to get some fresh air after just becoming a core member?" Jack patted him on the shoulder and teased with a smile. "Go ahead, just be back before sunset this afternoon. Remember to say hello to the bar owner for me, don't get too cooped up, have some fun."

They've all been there; he was much more anxious than Luo Kunlun back then.

After leaving the barracks, Luo Kunlun, carrying his sword, did not go to the town, but went straight to the secluded forest outside the town.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, away from the noise of the barracks, this place was perfect for him to conduct his experiments.

He found a flat open space and ordered Zero: "Replicate Layton's 1:3 breathing-sword swing frequency, and monitor physical fitness changes simultaneously."

"Beep—Frequency replication in progress, monitoring initiated."

Luo Kunlun closed his eyes and inhaled, raised his sword, and exhaled and slashed in accordance with the precise rhythm simulated by the nanomachines.

His movements were slow and steady, and his breathing was deep and long, exactly the same as Layton's state during his training.

Fifteen minutes passed, and Zero's feedback remained unchanged: his physical fitness remained stable.

With the help of nanomachines, Lokunlun replicated that special frequency with unparalleled precision, but the phenomenon did not occur.

"It seems that it's because my constitution is different from Layton's."

Luo Kunlun quickly realized this factor; everyone is different.

"Make a minor adjustment."

Luo Kunlun immediately adjusted the plan, "Using the Layton core frequency as a benchmark, fluctuating it up or down by 0.01, and gradually trying and failing."

The sound of the iron sword slicing through the forest echoed, once, twice, three times... The nanomachines adjusted the frequency of their breathing and movements every second, while precisely capturing every slight change in their bodies.

Ten minutes later, when the frequency was adjusted to 1.2Hz, Luo Kunlun suddenly felt a slight change, like parched land meeting a drizzle.

"Ding! Unknown radiation particles detected, being absorbed by the body... Physical fitness +0.01!"

"Due to missing data, the source of this radiation is unknown. Its specific characteristics are currently described as a trace enhancement of physical fitness and increased resilience. No side effects have been found so far..."

The notification sound from Zero rang in his mind, and a glint of wild joy flashed in Luo Kunlun's eyes.

"Radiation! It's actually radiation, a kind of unknown, beneficial radiation!"

He finally found his own suitable frequency and the essence of breathing techniques to break through limits.

After calming down, Luo Kunlun stopped moving and felt the subtle but real changes within his body.

He uncovered the core secret of the breathing technique, but an even greater unknown emerged.

"This world... it can't be a nuclear wasteland like the one in 'Joy of Life'..."
