Chapter 66 The Age of Progress

In the past world, no matter how much exercise a person can do, there is a limit. No matter how strong the body is, if he cuts his head with a knife, he still has to die.
Because of this, people who have been stuck in the bottleneck of physical enhancement began to pursue the ultimate fighting skills, with knives, guns and sticks, and routines emerged one after another.

This is the limitation of the times.

However, today's scientific and technological revolution has freed human beings from the original shackles, surpassed the limit, and solved the problem from the root.

Walking through Yang Zai with a hundred steps may have been an astonishing skill in the past, but here, as long as you put on an electronic eye and add an automatic locking function, you can still see a stationary target, not to mention a hundred steps, but thousands of steps, let alone dynamic capture. Action analysis and prediction.

In fact, if you think about it differently, aren’t mechanical prosthetics and ability injections to some extent the legendary martial arts cheats?

Zhu Jue lives in the future, but his thinking is still influenced by the past. Before that, he didn't realize that his combat power had nothing to do with his sword skills.

It's purely because his strength is strong enough and his speed is fast enough.

The monster in his body brought him this kind of strengthening, and by devouring the flesh from the heads of other monsters, this ability continued to grow.

This is the root of his fighting power. Without this power, even if he has learned all the top sword skills in the world, relying on an ordinary person's body, let alone fighting, will the long sword in his hand be cut? The power to open the monster's skin is also a problem.

What's more, the sword skills used to be aimed at human beings. Since it is an enemy-killing technique, it is natural to consider the enemy's body. To put it bluntly, some moves are only suitable for human beings, ordinary human beings!
However, Zhu Jue's enemies now turned into monsters two or three meters away, who couldn't be pierced by bullets, who could change into weapons or simply turn into monsters at every turn.

The knife skills are still those knife skills.

This era is realistic, no matter how exquisite the saber technique is, it is impossible to chop a sword aura more than ten meters long.

That kind of situation only appears in some people's dreams, which is pure nonsense.

Of course, some people think that since simply learning knife skills is useless, what about knife skills plus electronic eyes or mechanical prosthetics?
Wouldn't it be stronger?
Of course it will be stronger, this is beyond doubt.

Then here comes the problem, the time spent practicing swordsmanship for more than ten years is not just a concept. When you are practicing swordsmanship, other people may be familiar with the use of their own equipment and study how to maximize the power of the equipment. Buy yourself the latest technological equipment, or get some extra special ability injections to develop their power.

Both are getting stronger, who is stronger?

Not to mention those imitating the potentially very sharp knife skills cheats that have been honed over the years to strengthen their own skills. If they happen to bump into someone with the same knife skills data stored in their electronic brains, the other party does not need to know it, just An instruction is needed, and the electronic brain will actively analyze the defects and omissions in this set of knife skills.

How will we fight then?
A person's efforts to fight against the progress of the entire era is not called persistence or perseverance, it is called stubbornness and dullness, and will eventually be ruthlessly kicked into the ruins by the footsteps of the times.

Of course, this is not negating personal efforts or skills, but that efforts must be used in the right place, and skills must keep up with the times in order to play their due role, just like the ancient plow put into today's Today, even if it is more delicate and delicate, so what?
Can it be compared to a professional farm implement machine?
A person's energy is not unlimited. Playing games and practicing characters all pay attention to a certain specialization. The degree to which the same time is spent on practicing swordsmanship can become stronger is far less than Zhu Jue's ability to replace himself with a new set of equipment and equipment by killing monsters. The increase brought about by devouring chunks of meat.

If you have time to practice your sword, killing a few more monsters is more useful than anything else!

If you are fast enough, you can avoid all the opponent's attacks, so fast that the opponent doesn't even have time to capture and analyze your movements. If you are strong enough, then casually swinging a knife is many times more powerful than those so-called moves. Even if you are noticed, the enemy will Can't stop!

The enemy who can be crushed to death with one finger, has to go up and twist a few times, and then play a few tricks on him, is it interesting?
So Zhu Jue enlightened.

Instead, he focused all his attention on finding something that could directly enhance his own combat power from the outside. For Zhu Jue, due to the particularity of his body, changing his body into a mechanical prosthetic was basically out of consideration. An evolvable body is far better than those cold things, he is very sure of this.

Then he can only take the route of ability injection or full-body armor, but he has no way to get in touch with this aspect yet.

"Tsk, the authority is not enough"

There are a lot of things that can be used, but with his current authority, he can't buy them at all. Even if he has money, it's useless. In the end, he can only wait.

After all, like him, there are almost no people who have been promoted from a third-level informant to a first-level informant in less than a month, and who might become investigators in a short time.
"I don't wake up, the appointment is successful. She has two patients in line now. You can go directly. It will probably be your turn when you get there. I will send you the address."

"Well, I'll leave this to you. Don't forget to tell me when the video is done. By the way, remember to raise the salary of He Ye. Her personal ability is quite good. If possible, it's better to keep her. Down."

Turn off the order watch, now it is the most important thing to figure out your nightmare, put the wind chime into the backpack, open a gap in it, go out and ride the sand scorpion, and drive towards the central city of Yecheng.

This time it is the real center of Yecheng, not the outer city of Yecheng compared with the old eastern city last time.

As a first-tier city in Anqing Prefecture, Yecheng naturally occupies a large area. The general structure of the whole city presents a circular layered state. The outermost areas are naturally the four old urban areas in the southeast, northwest, and Zhu Jue came to this world. For half a year, I have been living in it, so I don't think there is anything, it's just normal.

However, in today's era, such a backward urban area is actually equated with the poor.

It's just that the current society is still relatively stable, and the government still has some control over this kind of place, so at least on the surface it still shows a peaceful situation.

The inner part of the old city is the outer city, which is where the middle class and some large factories are located, just like the industrial park that Zhu Jue visited before.

This makes Zhu Jue, who has only been to the outer city a few times and has never been to the real city center, preconceived that the center of Yecheng is actually surrounded by an artificial river, with taller buildings and clearer roads. Spacious place.

So when he rode the sand scorpion through the outer city, he saw the ring river dug around the central city and the central city behind it.

Zhu Jue was actually a little at a loss.
