I stood in the atrium of the woods and saw a gust of autumn wind blowing through the trees. A burst of yellow leaves fell swayingly. They were picked up by the wind and flew half a meter, and finally fell lonely to the ground.

The autumn sun shone slantly on the shrubs, filling them with life softly. At this time, accompanied by the sound of the wind in the pines, it was unclear whether it was the rustling leaves on the branches or the dead branches crushed by the soles of the two people's shoes.

"Boss, why did you come to the mountain and tell me what kind of martial arts you went to study in the mountain?"

Gray was still following me with a grimace on his face. His serious injuries had not yet healed. After a night of alcohol abuse, his external injuries had completely turned into internal injuries.

But who is to blame? Who saw Berthold as if he saw the enemy who killed his father, and insisted on having a drinking contest to decide the winner?

Gray said nothing and looked at me resentfully.

...Uh, okay, although it has something to do with me forcing him to stay up late every day to study microelectronics, but even if I am 1% at fault, doesn’t Gulfred himself bear 99% of the responsibility?

"Don't be so sad, Gray. A little illness will definitely not defeat professional warriors like us!"

I waved my fist and tried to cheer him up, "Just think about it, how many senior martial arts masters have lost all their meridians and martial arts, and then they came back and even improved to a higher level. Not to mention some people who had their hand tendons broken.

Even if you cut your hamstrings or even cut your vocal cords, you can practice the unique skill of spitting phlegm at the enemy and making cuckolds out of it, which is simply crazy!"

Gray said with a weak expression: "I have never heard of what you are talking about, and you are just a simple hooligan... My situation is not that unfortunate, I just need to recover as soon as possible!"

He shook his body, stood on tiptoes and jumped upwards. As a result, the strength of his feet was inconsistent, and he half-knelt on the ground. "Look, it feels so bad to be powerless like this. I need to become stronger..."

…”

I patted his shoulder: "There is something wrong with you. Doctor Dot told me that your injuries kept recurring while you were in the hospital. He suspected that you got up in the middle of the night to secretly exercise, causing the injuries that you recovered that day to worsen again."

Gray was a little embarrassed: "Doctor Dot found out as expected... What did the doctor say?

I immediately replied: "doctor!"

Gray: "..."

Walking to the edge of the cliff of Madas Mountain, you can see thousands of trees and rocks standing majestically at your feet. The clouds and mist are completely left behind. Only the lagoon halfway up Mount Madas is as level as a mirror, reflecting the sky.

The cloud shadows seem to change in various ways in the lake if they move at will.

I climbed on a rock, put my hands on my back, and acted like a master. The clothes on my chest temporarily had the word "juan" on it.

"I am here to bring you to understand the principles of martial arts, otherwise you will go astray sooner or later if you continue like this."

Gray also came to the top of the cliff. His clothes were blown by the howling mountain wind, and the expression on his face gradually calmed down. He sighed and sat down on the stone lamely.

"Boss, what do you think I should do?"

"Don't worry, your heart is not calm yet. Answer me a question first. Look at the scenery inside the lake. Are the clouds moving? Or the water?"

"I understand, it's my heart that's restless!" Gray murmured to himself.

"Nonsense. It's atmospheric circulation! There are four reasons for the formation of atmospheric circulation: one is solar radiation, the other is the rotation of the earth, the third is the uneven distribution of land and sea on the earth's surface, and the fourth is the mutual exchange of heat and momentum between the north and south of the atmosphere. Book

Where did all your reading go?”

Gray: "???"

"It seems that your basic knowledge is not strong enough. I will read some things to you first to lay the foundation. I believe that you will be able to understand something based on your understanding."

I cleared my throat and began to recite aloud: "The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency by overcoming the damage, so the imaginary overcomes the reality, and the deficiency overcomes the excess. Its meaning is profound, its reasoning is profound, its interest is deep, and the images of heaven and earth are divided...

Do you feel anything?"

Gray looked at me confused: "No."

"Then change this. Let him be strong when he is strong, and the breeze blows over the hills. Let him be unruly, and the bright moon shines on the river. He is cruel because he is evil, and I am full of energy... How about it, do you feel the Dantian in your lower abdomen is hot?

Hot?"

Gray shook his head honestly and said, "I just feel a little urgent to urinate."

"... Let's change it to another one. Tai Chi is born without extremes. It is the machine of movement and stillness, and the mother of yin and yang. When it moves, it divides, and when it stays still, it unites. If there is nothing wrong or inadequate, it will stretch according to the song. People are strong and I am soft, which is called walking.

, I’m so obedient that I’m clingy…”

After reading for a long time, my mouth was dry and I asked directly: "After listening to it for so long, don't you have any ideas?"

Gray scratched his head: "To be honest, these are too profound, I didn't understand a single word."

"Then let me tell you something simple, please listen carefully: if you want to practice magical skills, draw the sword from the palace; make elixirs and take medicine, and connect the inside and outside. Today's way of practicing qi is only guided by external thoughts. It is too vague and too empty, and the world is clear and turbid.

And strangers..."

Young man, you are confused on the road to pursuing strength, but what you lack is actually this. Don’t hesitate any more, hold this knife, and then bite this piece of cloth...

"Don't listen, don't listen! Stop saying such terrible things!" Gray covered his ears, saying that he didn't hear anything.

Unfortunately, I had hoped that with Gray's incredible understanding, I might be able to use the protagonist's template to understand these martial arts secrets, and by the way, I could verify whether what Jin Yong said was true.

But after my persuasion, Gray's mood improved significantly. He was no longer depressed and dissatisfied as before - he only looked confused and empty!

I also sat down on the stone and said to Gray: "When I gave you the arm armor, it was just on a whim and had no other meaning. Besides, your strength is already very strong. Do you really think that after training, you can

Can you hold your own hair and fly into the sky? Or lift the earth and fly to the sun?"

Gray asked back: "But Zach just flew up!"

"...What's wrong with learning? You have to learn from a vegetative person. Let's wait until he learns wood escape."

I thought for a moment and continued to say to Gray, "Have you ever thought that what hinders your continued growth is not absolute power, but the understanding of the use of power? For example, a shortcoming in skills leads to no way forward for you?"

Gray also nodded: "I feel the same way. But how to do this? Grandpa can't tell me this."

I slapped my thigh: "Isn't this a coincidence? I'm so familiar with it! Let me tell you, the technical things are nothing more than 'familiarity with your hands' and 'wisdom and variety'. Among them, 'familiarity with your hands only'

It requires continuous practice and accumulation, which is not suitable for you, but 'Ingenuity and Variety' is suitable for a talented martial arts wizard like you!"

Gray was a little excited: "Then how to train?"

I waved my hand bluntly: "There is no need to train, and you don't need to be able to turn every plant and tree into a sword. The first step is to practice the skill of 'Jackie Chan will not die with his bare hands', which is to master picking up anything."

A unique skill that can defeat the enemy! Specifically, it means observing, learning, imitating, and summarizing!"

Gray said with some distress: "This sounded very reliable at the time, but can this really improve your strength? Doesn't it sound like a random fight?"

(Nonsense, I don’t know if this is effective. I just want you to divert your attention and don’t kill yourself by practicing magical skills every day.)

But my face remained normal, I stood up and turned my back to him and said coldly: "Then can you beat me? This is my unique method. If you can practice it, you can master the same fighting skills as me."

When I heard no movement behind me, I secretly turned around and found that Gray was indeed looking at his hands, and said to himself with a look of surprise: "I see... this method is actually so effective... great..."

I was very relieved to see Gray turn around and return to the wrong path.

It would be great if he could really master it, at least he wouldn't have to worry about running out of weapons in future fights.

When he becomes famous, his opponents will even take the initiative to hand him regular weapons to help him fight fairly - because in doing so, he can occupy his hands and prevent him from looking for furniture that he can take advantage of.

At least in the end, when you are knocked down, you will remember that you were knocked down with dignity by a serious weapon, not some weird thing that escaped from IKEA.

…………

After tricking Gray into training on the top of the mountain, I hurried down the mountain and ran back to the pasture, smiling as I looked at this long list of messages.

[System prompt: The colony’s research project, ‘Microelectronics Basics, has been researched. The subsequent multivariate analyzer technology sequence has been unlocked, and the colonists can explore it on their own.]

[System prompt: The foundation of microelectronics has unlocked new construction projects such as 'Orbital Trading Beacon', 'Communication Station', 'Advanced Research Station', 'EMP Technology' and other projects. Colonists can explore on their own. 】

[System prompt: It is detected that colonial technology has entered the microelectronics era, and the reward is to unlock the 'deep drilling' project, which can be viewed in the building planning module.]

Finally, my ranch has finally entered a new era!

The biggest problem with this colonist system that I don’t know where it came from has always been that it is not compatible with me and the pasture. Basically, it does not care about the agricultural technology and light industry technology that I need. The technology tree always tends to develop in the direction of bunkers and turrets.

In Ore Town, there aren't that many military technologies for it to research, which has resulted in the technology tree of the colonist system itself being riddled with holes. It doesn't have what I need, and what it has, I don't need.

But anyway, after stumbling and searching for so long, I finally figured it out and crossed the river by feeling the stones, lighting up the subsequent core technology tree [Microelectronics Basics]. I believe that all related scientific research projects will make leaps and bounds!

"Hey, let me first see what this deep drilling is..."

With a burst of funny arpeggios, I skillfully opened the phantom sign in my field of vision and found the new gadget in the architectural planning-production project.

Judging from the outline of the blueprint, it is a barrel over three meters high. It looks like a washing machine drum upside down on the ground. It has a dense row of heat dissipation windows on the outside, and the shortened interface is close to the ground. It seems that

It can penetrate very deep into the ground.

[Project Name: Deep Drilling (Blueprint)]

[Project introduction: A drilling device used to mine ores deep underground. In order to accurately obtain minerals, it is necessary to use an address scanner to explore underground resources. If the positioning is not accurate, only stones can be dug out. 】
