Emily Foster's parents and his parents both live in Yancheng City, and they are all teachers, living in the same teachers' residential community. The two of them grew up together in Yancheng, from kindergarten all the way to university, always together, and even stayed in the same class all the way through high school. It wasn't until university, when they were no longer in the same department, that they were separated. To call them childhood sweethearts would not be an exaggeration. During university, he often went out to eat with Emily Foster, and this was often teased by his roommates.

Chapter 4 Breaking Out of the Amazon

Hurriedly returning home, it was obvious that the items in the rental apartment had been tampered with.

Ethan Brooks collapsed onto the sofa with a sigh of relief. Remembering the notification from his phone while he was on the street, he quickly took out his phone to check it again. This was also the reason he had rushed back in such a hurry.

Prelude 2: Breaking Out of the Amazon

Mission World: Breaking Out of the Amazon (Origin World)

Mission Time: 71 hours and 12 minutes from now

Mission Objective: Complete hunter training (three months)

Initial Skill: Military Literacy Mastery (Beginner)

Mission Success: Reward—item ability *1, skill point *1, physical attribute point *1

Mission Failure: Repeat execution

"Breaking Out of the Amazon!"

Ethan Brooks repeated these words. There are probably very few people who haven't seen this domestic film, especially students, because whether it's high school military training or university military training, this patriotic film is almost always shown.

He didn't have many impressions of this movie, except that the special forces from various countries underwent inhuman training, as if every day was a challenge to the limits of the human body.

"System, don't you think that as an ordinary office worker who hasn't even served as a conscript, it's a bit much for me to undergo this kind of elite special forces' inhuman training? Aren't you afraid you'll end up killing your only chosen one?"

The phone was silent for a moment, then a line of text appeared, accompanied by a cold voice.

"Chosen one, Beginner Combat Mastery grants professional-level combat ability, Beginner Firearms Mastery grants professional-level firearms handling, Beginner Military Literacy Mastery grants special forces-level military literacy. You also have two unassigned skill points and three physical attribute points, as well as one cubic meter of portable storage space. According to the system's assessment, the difficulty of Prelude 2 is also simple. Please allocate your points appropriately."

"Uh... alright then."

Ethan Brooks put down his phone, but after a moment, picked it up again.

"System, what exactly does 'Prelude' mean? Is it like a prologue?"

"Yes."

"Well... aren't you going to explain a bit more?"

"The prelude consists of three simple missions, mainly to allow the chosen one to gain superhuman abilities and adaptability, laying the foundation for future time-space travel."

Only then did Ethan Brooks nod, put down his phone, walk into the study, turn on the computer and browser, and quickly type in "Breaking Out of the Amazon," reading carefully.

The plot of Breaking Out of the Amazon is actually very simple, with nothing particularly outstanding. It mainly emphasizes patriotism and military honor, and all the plotlines serve to set up these two themes.

After finishing the movie, Ethan Brooks thought for a moment, decided how to allocate his points, took out his phone, and said:

"Distribute the skill points evenly between Combat Mastery and Firearms Mastery, don't draw new skills, and distribute the physical attribute points evenly among constitution, speed, and strength."

"Allocation complete."

"Hiss~"

Ethan Brooks felt an unprecedented surge of power in his body, while also feeling as light as a swallow, his physique as robust as a bull. The improvement in these three aspects brought a deep, bone-penetrating sense of comfort.

Immediately after, his brain was flooded with countless pieces of knowledge again. His abilities in Combat Mastery and Firearms Mastery were enhanced, and the intense pain that followed left him dazed for a long time.

After a while, Ethan Brooks was drenched in sweat. He took off his clothes, revealing a body with well-defined muscles, as if cast from steel, yet still aesthetically pleasing. The bit of fat around his waist had completely disappeared.

This physique was not intimidating—there were no massive biceps, nor sharply defined abs and chest muscles. With clothes on, it was almost unnoticeable, but no one could underestimate its explosive power.

Strength and speed complement each other; strength brings speed, and speed amplifies strength. With strength and speed twice that of an ordinary person, the resulting physical attributes are astonishing.

Intermediate Combat Mastery brought much more powerful knowledge than the beginner level, most of which was aimed at killing with a single blow, and it integrated the essence of many known and unknown combat techniques. In this respect, he had already surpassed a large portion of elite special forces and could easily compete with professional fighters. Intermediate Firearms Mastery emphasized gun sense and intuition, making him like a battle-hardened veteran who could often shoot an enemy in the head without even aiming.

Combined with strength, speed, and constitution double that of an ordinary person, just in terms of firearms and combat, he could now completely crush elite special forces. But in other aspects, he was still far behind, since special forces are all-rounders and don't focus on just one skill like professional shooters or fighters; everything is based on battlefield needs.
