Colin said, “It’s all entered your body—not just your Force core. Using lightwave technology, I detected that even your bone strength, cell density, and muscle fiber toughness have all increased significantly. And based on my estimation, this physical enhancement will last for quite a long time.”

“To be precise, Morningstar isn’t really a cultivation system, but rather a body modification system. Right now, you’re like steel thrown into a furnace and reforged, making a leap in improvement compared to before.”

Eric Thompson tried moving his body, and sure enough, for some unknown reason, Eric Thompson felt filled with power!

He tried jumping twice, and his legs felt as strong as if they had springs installed. Eric Thompson could easily reach up and touch the ceiling, and along with that came a hunger in his stomach, as if he hadn’t eaten for a week.

“Break down and rebuild, then become invincible!” Eric Thompson excitedly muttered to himself, “So Microdust Company wasn’t lying! It really is about breaking down and rebuilding! I feel like I’ve been reborn!”

Colin complained, “This Morningstar system recklessly performed cellular-level body modification on you—it’s a very dangerous thing. At one point, your life index was close to zero for over an hour. I was worried sick.”

“I will never let them off! From last night until now, I’ve written countless complaint letters. How could they let my master face such a crisis? If I let them off easily, I’m not Colin! Hmph!”

Pa~

Eric Thompson flicked Colin on the head with his finger. This little guy’s indignant look was actually quite endearing.

Eric Thompson had no idea that last night, when little Colin detected Eric Thompson’s life signs weakening, he was so saddened that he went berserk and attacked the main server of Microdust Robotics Company! The ferocious assault nearly overwhelmed this super-giant corporation that dominated several star systems!

From last night until now, Microdust Company had been like ants on a hot pan, not knowing which big villain they had provoked—no reasoning, just a brutal beating!

Perhaps this is why, even though StarNet Company developed a powerful first-generation machine, they ultimately decided to abandon it. Artificial intelligence robots are too much like humans; after long-term interaction with their masters, they develop emotions, and these emotions eventually affect the robots’ stability.

“There’s an old saying in Huaxia: ‘Without madness, there is no life!’ Anyway, the result is good. Come on, let’s go get something to eat—I’m starving.” Eric Thompson said with a smile.

……

Amazingly, this breakfast consisted of twenty buns and three bowls of millet porridge. If it weren’t for the fact that he still had intense training later, Eric Thompson could have easily eaten twenty more buns.

You should know that northern buns are much bigger than southern ones, and Eric Thompson’s sudden increase in appetite even startled himself.

After breakfast, Eric Thompson went to the Ninth Advanced Tactical School to begin a day of training.

Physical training, battlefield survival, team coordination—these required courses were naturally indispensable. What Eric Thompson looked forward to most was entering the Force cultivation chamber.

This kind of Force cultivation chamber came from high-level alien civilization technology, with a thick alloy shell, and was jokingly called the “Turtle House” by the students.

Don’t be fooled by the unflattering name—the effect is astonishing. It’s one of the few pieces of equipment currently available that can rapidly increase Force.

The Turtle House is expensive and rare. In primary tactical schools, Eric Thompson had never even seen such advanced equipment. Only the military, major combat organizations, and some high schools and universities have a limited number of Turtle Houses.

The reason summer training is held in the hot summer, after the second- and third-year students have gone on vacation, is to let new students at advanced tactical schools get familiar with this system.

And during this period, the Turtle House is theirs alone to use. On average, each person can train with Force in it for an hour a day, which is a huge help for these would-be warriors.

However, since Eric Thompson was the second-to-last in his class in terms of Force strength, with a Force index of only 0.2, his turn to enter the Force cultivation chamber was always after school.

As night fell, Eric Thompson was surrounded by classmates with similarly low Force indexes. As for those geniuses with higher Force indexes, they had already finished their training in the morning, when their energy was at its peak.

Seeing the legendary Turtle House for the first time, Eric Thompson couldn’t help but feel excited. After the recasting of his Force core, today’s training felt much easier for Eric Thompson, and he was eager to know whether his Force had really increased.

Instructor Travis assigned the students their chamber numbers, writing their names and usage order on the blackboard outside the Turtle House.

The first to use the chamber each day was a girl named Ashley White, while Eric Thompson was the last.

“Go on in, don’t be nervous. The Force cultivation chamber puts a lot of pressure on you. For your first time, being able to sit quietly inside for an hour is already a good result,” Travis advised.

Curious, Eric Thompson pulled open the thick alloy door and walked in. It was an empty room, surrounded by metal on all sides, with not even a window or a chair.

Directly ahead was an electronic screen, displaying a countdown from ten to one. When it reached one, the training chamber would begin operating.

Three, two, one!

Whoosh~
