Kamen Rider ZZZ, the American comic book spiritual mentor

The violent force that instantly emanated from the scarlet sphere nearly caused his thigh muscles to burst open.

This force is violent and chaotic, like an untamed lion.

After several failures, he finally figured out the core of the dream capsule.

The power of the Dream Capsule does not generate external force out of thin air, but rather unleashes the power of one's subconscious and physical body in a physical form, more efficiently and in a more concentrated way.

Moreover, this training session gave him some good news: even without transforming, as long as he had the Dream Capsule, he could be much stronger than an ordinary person.

He continued running, constantly adjusting the coordination of his breathing, thoughts, and body movements.

The synchronization rate and compatibility in consciousness are slowly improving.

While Lin Nan appeared to be listening attentively in class, he was actually already mentally constructing his own training plan.

The first step is to raise the mental synchronization rate and dream adaptation rate to a safe threshold.

At that point, you can undergo a preliminary transformation, although you won't be able to unleash your full power.

Secondly, you need to train your physical fitness and improve your physical condition to a level that can withstand the transformation load.

Finally, you need to master the basic applications of physical impact. You can learn how to generate, deflect, and explode force by practicing some martial arts.

Lin Nan repeatedly refined the training plan in his mind, but he didn't write it down: because it was unsafe.

After thinking about it for a whole day, he couldn't help but sigh, even being the perfect agent in a dream isn't easy.

The day passed quickly, and the school bell rang on time.

Lin Nan didn't rush to leave. She waited until the crowd had almost dispersed before packing up her schoolbag and getting up.

"Lin...wait!" Peter Parker chased after him from behind, carrying his schoolbag.

"What's wrong? Parker, you look good today."

Parker looked around first, then lowered his voice and said, "I trained myself somewhere where no one was around last night."

"I discovered that I can control it... those spider silks. Now I can send them out and take them back whenever I want. I even tried using them to wander around. Ah, this feeling is so exciting."

Causality value: 2

The causality value has increased. Could it be because of Lin Nan's words that Peter mastered his abilities earlier?

“Very good, Peter, remember, never leave a trace,” Lin Nan instructed.

Peter quickly replied, "Don't worry, the spider silk will dissolve on its own, and I've been very careful in cleaning it up."

Then, somewhat cautiously, he asked, "Lin, you know about these things, right? About how to control certain special abilities..."

Lin Nan's heart skipped a beat. Although Peter was kind-hearted, he was a super genius at heart, and with his spider-sense, it wouldn't be difficult for him to detect anything unusual.

“I practiced some self-defense techniques when I was a child. You know, after my parents passed away when I was young, I lived alone, and I learned some things to protect myself.”

Lin Nan didn't tell the whole story; she told a little white lie.

A flicker of sadness and sympathetic understanding crossed Peter's eyes: "I'm sorry, Lin, I shouldn't have asked."

"It's okay, Peter, we're friends, you don't need to apologize to me." Lin Nan comforted Spider-Man and changed the subject: "What are you planning to practice next?"

Peter scratched his head: "I'm planning to practice climbing walls. It's like my fingers and feet can stick to the wall. That ability must be really cool, but I'm afraid of being seen by others."

"First, make yourself a mask to hide your identity. Second, you need to train gradually. Don't climb too high at once, or you might fall and hurt your back."

"A mask, what kind of mask should we design?"

Lin Nan pulled a piece of paper out of his bag. It was a mask design he had drawn long ago, Spider-Man's most classic look.

"This...you drew this? And those exercises, Lin, you're a genius!"

Lin Nan twitched the corners of her mouth, not quite used to such direct praise, and added, "The mask and clothing must be made by ourselves. Having others make them will easily expose our identity."

Peter took notes diligently, even more attentively than when listening to a professor's lecture: "I understand, thank you, Lin, really."

The two walked out of the school gate together. The sun was setting, and the sky turned a reddish-orange.

"Lin, are you free this weekend? Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei would like to invite you to dinner again. I also have some new ideas that I'd like to discuss with you."

Looking at the sincere expectation in Peter's eyes, Lin Nan nodded: "Okay, Peter."

Peter immediately smiled: "Great! How about Saturday night?"

"can."

“It’s settled!” Peter waved goodbye to Lin Nan and left quickly and lightly.

Lin Nan watched Peter's departing figure, then looked down at her own hands.

We're getting closer to fully possessing our own power.

Chapter 5 First Transformation

A week passed quickly, and it was Saturday afternoon, three hours before we were supposed to go to Parker's for dinner.

Lin Nan collapsed onto the bed, feeling utterly exhausted.

A week of intense training had taken a toll on this young body. What was most worrying was that the mental synchronization rate and dream compatibility were improving too slowly.

[Mental synchronization rate: 11%]

[Dream Compatibility: 5%]

We are still a long way from the safety thresholds (15% and 5%).

The key issue is that after a week of training, it seems like I've reached a plateau, and yesterday I only improved by 0.5%.

At this rate, it will take at least another week before I can transform into Kamen Rider zzz.

The speed is far too slow. In this perilous world, there is no sense of security without power.

He closed his eyes, drowsiness washed over him, and he subconsciously connected with the driver in his chest.

Let's take a break. If only we could train in our dreams.

Before going to sleep, he made this urgent call.

Consciousness plunged into darkness, but the next moment…

His world of consciousness was filled with boundless crimson smoke.

"Is this...is this a dream?" Lin Nan murmured to himself.

Looking around at the world, it seemed to have no boundaries.

He stood at the center of this crimson world, where space and time seemed to have lost their meaning, yet his consciousness remained perfectly clear.

"Lucid dream".

He had had lucid dreams before, but most of those lucid dreams were illogical fragments, bizarre and uncontrollable, unlike now, when his consciousness was completely clear.

A familiar pulsation came from my chest, and a crimson physical shock capsule was embedded in the hole, its surface shimmering with faint electrical light.

The driver has arrived too. Perhaps I can train even in my dreams?

With a thought, Lin Nan tried to communicate with the dream capsule using her consciousness, just like in real life.

boom!

A force far more violent than anything in reality surged through my limbs and bones.

Countless fragmented images and feelings flashed through my mind, and I suddenly had many insights.

The body in the dream shook violently, as if it would dissipate at any moment!

"Ugh!!"

Lin Nan clutched her head, letting out a muffled groan of pain, forcing herself to calm down and using her consciousness to process the images and the power emanating from them.

The trembling gradually subsided, and the dream body stabilized.

The next moment, he felt that everything was different.

The driver and dream capsule in my chest no longer feel like props, as they used to.

Instead, it became part of his body, an extension of his consciousness.

His every thought, every breath, resonates with the driver.

[Mental synchronization rate: 11%...18%...25%]

[Dream Compatibility: 5%...10%...15%]

Both values ​​continued to rise rapidly until the mental synchronization rate stabilized at 31% and the dream compatibility stabilized at 20%.

A meteoric rise! In just a few seconds, he achieved results that surpassed what he had gained in a week of grueling practice in reality.

"So that's how it is..."

Lin Nan exclaimed, "So lucid dreaming is the real training ground for the zzz system!"

The Temple of Karma...you guys are truly scoundrels!

Why isn't there even an instruction manual?!

I cursed a few times in my mind, but then excitement replaced it.

He tried to move within this crimson dream space. He could reach any place his mind could reach, with incredible ease.

He raised his fist and punched forward, dispersing a cloud of smoke.

In the dream world, there are no physical targets. How can I practice combat skills?

So he imagined a wall appearing in front of him.

Suddenly, a thick fog, as if summoned by a consciousness, gathered and then dispersed, revealing a wall that was almost solid.

Overjoyed, Lin Nan took a step forward, twisted his waist, and unleashed the power within his body with a punch.

bump!

The wall formed by the smoke collapsed instantly!

It works! He can simulate the force applied here to practice how to exert force, and apply what he has learned in real life.
