1 Gala Chapter 52 Roland's Day (Part 1)
After participating in the wild survival training, the college will routinely take a day off to give students time to trim.
At six o'clock in the morning, Roland opened his eyes on time, as usual.
The house that Roland rented is a small studio in an old apartment, which is very cheap, but it is a bit far from the college, but there is a large section of the route to school that overlaps with the emperor.
After washing up, Roland left the room and rushed to the vegetable market two blocks away.
There are relatively fewer people in the morning, so broccoli won’t be sold out so quickly, and Roland also has plenty of room to choose.
The landlady who woke up early was active in the yard with the neighbors in the apartment. Roland narrowed her eyes as usual and greeted everyone he should know politely. Although his name is often forgotten, in this small area, Roland, who was miserable but extremely sensible, has always been the object of praise.
More than a year ago, Roland's "parents" died unexpectedly in a certain demonic incident. Roland, who was still underage, had to set out alone, heading east from the distant Quinding City-state to a port tower area on the east coast of the Dangmo Strait. He walked on one of the "Rainbow Bridges" that spanned the east and west continents, connecting Quinding City-state and Galo City-state for several days, and almost died on the bridge. With the help of kind-hearted people passing by, he arrived at the Galo City-state. He walked through more than a dozen tower areas and finally came here and successfully joined his distant relative - a blacksmith who had run a shop in Tower No. 1 for several years.
Roland and his parents are both legal residents of the tempered city-state. Roland also studied for one or two years in a public college in the tower district where he once "lived", and was successfully promoted to a junior martial artist. He had his own professional badge. His experience of suffering and starving along the way was real and there was no need for too much verification. Therefore, Roland's identity was quickly confirmed by the Galo City-state, and he successfully completed the transfer procedures and entered Galo Academy.
At the beginning, Roland had poor physical fitness. In addition to having some talent in internal energy cultivation, his strength was almost the lowest. In addition to his extremely low sense of existence, he was naturally one of the objects of marginalization, so Roland quickly got to know Yu smoothly.
Few male students from the third team lived so far. Not long after they transferred to school, and after they gradually became familiar with the surrounding roads, Roland tried to take a little further and came to the end of the necessary road at the foot of Fengming Mountain to wait for Yu, and go to school with him.
This should be a very common move between "friends" I just made. In the information from the Tempered City-State, Roland has always been an honest child who loves to make friends and never argues with others. Roland is also following the personality template loaded this time, and there is no warning in the voice deep in his mind. However, that night, a strong man sneaked into Roland's room and carefully checked him.
Roland was prepared for this situation. According to the task requirements, his body had long been replaced by the junior professional version. All muscle states and bone ages were perfectly consistent with the data, and he had not received any transformation. Even the martial arts dantian in his body was cultivated for several hours.
In his entire body, only the brain and the neural network that covers the whole body have been transformed by secret techniques. It still looks like a human body structure, but inside it has been replaced by a silk spinning called "human-faced spider" and a combination of hundreds of special materials. It is extremely tough and has a top-level response speed, allowing him to be compatible with the body version of the master or even the master level, so as to perform different tasks.
Although this body version is now used for the first time and its strength is not as weak as it can be seen, the compatibility of this body is the highest, which is a "experience" that Roland has never had before.
Roland and the voice deep in his mind had no objection to this. High compatibility is naturally more conducive to the task completion, and there is no logical error at all. Therefore, there is no need to start the extremely energy-consuming self-correction program, nor does it need to be recorded in the log.
The strong man found no abnormalities during the examination, and the surveillance was removed a few days later. However, the alert level in Roland's body was still raised to the highest, and the sound deep in his mind was silent for a month.
The long-term "offline status" makes the daily routine task report like talking to oneself. Although "he" during this period is a loaded program and the sum of many established templates, he still follows the established algorithm when "offline status", simulates reasonable behaviors that meet background data.
So Roland took the initiative to give up waiting for Yu to go to school together, showing a little awe of the deep mansion at the foot of Fengming Mountain, and the natural alienation. The frequency of encounters on the way was not high. In the academy, Roland was very friendly to every student, and naturally increased the chances of contact with Yu, showing an attitude of increasing sympathy despite being scruples.
Finally, in a practical class, Roland and Yu were in a group, and were punished by Qianyin Tutor in public because of excessive restraint. Yu was very sad about this matter. Of course, Roland would not "carry" about it. Since then, their friendship has gone a step further. Roland often accompanied Yu to perform some basic exercises. Gradually, the two of them became the default circle in the eyes of everyone and became "friends".
After the sound deep in my mind appeared again, there was no objection to "him"'s performance over the past month. Of course, necessary self-tests and evaluations are indispensable. "him"'s operation is not abnormal. However, for Roland, such a long "offline state" and "him" were experienced for the first time. These choices were completely completed by "him". This "experience" was faintly wonderful.
The tender broccoli were carried in their hands like some other ingredients, and Roland, like any easily satisfied boy, returned home "happily" and began to prepare breakfast for himself.
Of course, Broccoli is still Roland's staple food, which is also a unique setting in the personality template loaded this time. This body seems to recognize this ingredient very much. However, Roland has just washed and peeled the broccoli and broken them into many small petals, and then slightly blanched the harder rhizomes and chewed them with some other food.
Since Yu made the joke of "eating raw", Roland's templates began to calculate and quickly gave instructions to "try" and continued until now. The step of "blanting" was also added under Yu's suggestion. For this way of eating, Roland also had a faint mental fluctuation, which seemed to be called "satisfaction"...
But of course these are all necessary means to complete the task. Whether for Roland or the voice deep in his mind, the task is everything!
At around 8 o'clock in the morning, Roland ate all the food, took a short rest, and walked out of the door, humming a few songs from Miss Lilith, and heading towards the Martial Arts Guild.
According to the current ability template, after staying at the four-star level for about a month, his internal strength has successfully exceeded the 6,000 mark, and his proficiency in the "Gangti" martial arts skills is enough. After the training, Roland was called by the instructors of the martial arts department and unanimously suggested that he try the five-star promotion assessment during the holiday, but he did not tell him the reason.
Turn any changes from the outside world into countless instructions and quickly calculate the best response method - Roland and the voices in his mind are good at these, and they do not conflict with the latest commands. As an honest child, he will definitely listen to the words of the mentors.
A trace of mental fluctuation appeared faintly, as if it was "guessing". The instructors' intentions may be related to the upcoming "Five Colleges Exchange Meeting"...
However, this fluctuation triggered some mechanisms, and the sound in my mind quickly started the error correction program and wiped it out.
For "people" like Roland, these mental fluctuations are system redundancy and useless information garbage. He does not need any "guessment", but only instructions and actions.
The Martial Arts Guild is on the edge of the No. 1 Tower District, which is quite far from Roland's home. Roland is not walking fast. After entering the Guild, he has to wait in line as usual, check the badges, and allocate the assessment and schoolyard... When Roland met the examiner, it was almost eleven o'clock.
Like any tower area, the Martial Arts Guild is generally built in remote places. The generous martial artsists are used to talking with fists and weapons, so it is natural that it is easy to make some noise. The Martial Arts Guild doesn't look down on machines and targets, and even the space ear chamber is too lazy to pay for money, so it takes a large school ground to advance to the assessment, and the assessment area of different levels is marked out.
It is very dangerous to walk around the school grounds, especially when waiting for the examiner, Roland stood honestly, looking at other martial artists "curiously", revealing a very obvious "envious" look.
The examiner was a strong man in his thirties. After asking Roland's assessment direction was "defense", he did not reach out to check whether Roland's internal strength reserves met the standard. He let him drive the "Gangti" with all his strength. He punched him with one punch. Roland was pushed more than ten steps, but the "Gangti" was not broken, which was considered as a defense. The examiner nodded and signaled that the assessment would pass, so he could go back to the guild to handle the procedures.
After the process was over, there was another real star on Roland's badge, but he had no intention of taking the task. He took out a few broccoli from his backpack and chewed it, and walked in another direction.
As an "orphan" certified by two major city-states, Gala College naturally reduced all tuition fees, but living expenses still depend on Roland himself. Fortunately, the distant relative who runs a blacksmith shop will support him some crystal coins every month. However, the blacksmith relative has good skills and good business. The shop is constantly jingling every day and night, and the fire is endless. It is really not suitable for living, and the blacksmith relative has no time to take care of him, so Roland moved out.
