The next day, at daybreak.

Inside Mulan's electronic reading room.

"Instructor..."

The keyboard sat in the ergonomic chair, gripping the armrests tightly with both hands, its legs trembling uncontrollably.

Her glasses were fogged up, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were unfocused, and her voice trembled as she spoke.

"Too...too fast..."

"I can't take it anymore..."

"Shut up."

Chen Zheng stood behind her, one hand supporting himself on the back of the chair, the other hand moving so fast on the keyboard that it left afterimages.

"This is nothing, just bear with it."

"You can't even handle this much data? How are you going to work with me in the future?"

The keyboard is about to cry.

Half an hour ago, Chen Zheng summoned her here in a mysterious manner.

She thought the instructor had taken pity on her and let her play a couple of games to relax.

As a result, Chen Zheng pulled out a hard drive, plugged it into the computer, and started teaching her without saying a word.

This is no ordinary lecture.

It was Chen Zheng who used the "Skynet Database" in his mind to force-feed her the underlying code logic that was ten years ahead of its time.

"Take a good look at this architecture."

Chen Zheng pointed to the scrolling code on the screen.

"Don't always think about attacking the firewall head-on; that's something only a reckless person would do."

"You need to learn to find weaknesses, just like finding a woman's... cough, finding the enemy's weaknesses."

"Data flows; you have to go with it."

The keyboard feels like an old Pentium 4 relic that's been crammed with Cyberpunk 2077.

"Well……"

The keyboard rolled its eyes, practically drooling.

"No, instructor, there are too many! We really can't fit them all in!"

"The knowledge is overflowing!"

"I think I'm starting to get a brain!"

She covered her head with her hands and began to ramble incoherently.

"AT Field Deployed! Absolute Terror Zone!"

"No, I must expand my domain, the boundless void!"

Chen Zheng's lips twitched as he watched the girl begin casting spells across dimensions.

Is this what anime/manga is all about?

Very dedicated.

"Wake up!"

Chen Zheng slapped her on the back of the head. "Now, immediately, right now."

"Hack this simulated military-grade firewall for me."

"If I can't do it, I won't get dinner tonight."

Upon hearing this, the keyboard, which was on its deathbed, was startled awake.

"Holy crap, that won't do! High-intensity training without food? That could really kill someone!"

She took a deep breath, put her ten fingers back on the keyboard, and switched to focus mode.

She is indeed exceptionally gifted.

Once she got into a learning mindset, she began to understand the code she couldn't understand at first, within just ten minutes.

The logic that Chen Zheng had just forced in, although it gave her a headache, also improved her underlying logic.

"Is this... the back door?" the keyboard muttered to itself.

Snapped!

Press the Enter key one last time.

The red firewall on the screen collapsed instantly, and then a green box popped up.

【ACCESS GRANTED!】

"Phew~"

Keyboard slumped back in his chair. "So, this counts as a success?"

Chen Zheng glanced at the screen and nodded.

That damned talent! I only gave her a hint on the concept, and she actually figured it out.

Just then, the crisp system notification sounded again.

【Ding! 】

[Detected that team member 'Keyboard' has mastered advanced data flow tactics, triggering a 100x critical hit return!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: 9080Ti of human brain computing power from the future!]

boom!

Chen Zheng felt a cool sensation in his mind.

The system used to occasionally lag when processing massive amounts of Skynet data, but now it runs incredibly smoothly.

His brain raced at full speed in that instant, and the world seemed to slow down in his eyes.

nice one.

Chen Zheng was in a good mood and reached out to rub his messy hair on the keyboard.

"Your dry work is alright, although it's a far cry from mine."

"Go throw up, and remember to wash your face after you're done."

keyboard:"……"

……

With the technical aspects secured, the next step is firepower.

An hour later, at the firing range.

Jiang Nan was drooling over a pile of C4 explosives.

"Instructor!"

She held a brick-sized piece of C4 in her hand, waving it excitedly, "Where are we going to bomb today? You tell me!"

"Art is an explosion! Big is good! More is beautiful!"

Chen Zheng looked at the girl who, if left unattended, would definitely become a terrorist, and sighed helplessly.

"Put that thing down."

He walked over, took the C4 from Jiang Nan's hand, and casually tore off a small piece.

"A real explosion should be elegant, like the one you did in the banquet hall."

As he spoke, Chen Zheng pointed to a reinforced concrete bunker in the distance, "How much explosives would you need to blow that bunker up?"

Jiang Nan brushed the dust off his nose and said confidently, "Based on the intensity, it's at least twenty kilograms of TNT, or five kilograms of C4, all packaged together."

"You memorized the formulas well, but unfortunately your brain is too rigid."

Chen Zheng shook his head, picked up a piece of chalk, and drew a structural diagram on the blackboard next to him.

"Watch closely."

"Every building has its fatal flaw, namely the singularity of stress concentration."

"Once you find this point and disrupt its balance, you can leave the rest to gravity."

Jiang Nan was stunned.

She used to work with explosives and had considerable knowledge of mechanics, but never with such meticulous detail.

Now, with Chen Zheng's guidance, the door to a new world has been opened.

"Is this... a weak point in the shear wall?"

Jiang Nan pointed to a point on the diagram and muttered to herself, "No, it's the fulcrum of the torque. As long as we cut this point, the gravitational potential energy of the entire upper structure will instantly become kinetic energy..."

"Then self-destruct!"

"So that's how it is..."

"Gravity kills! That's awesome!"

She snatched the C4 from Chen Zheng's hand and, muttering to herself, charged toward the bunker.

"Hehe...hehehe..."

Jiang Nan let out a strange laugh, stuck the C4 to the base of an inconspicuous pillar, and even adjusted the shape of the C4.

After doing all this, she slowly moved away from the bunker.

After confirming that she had reached a safe location, Jiang Nan snapped her fingers again.

"Explode!"

boom!

There was only a muffled thud.

Then.

The sturdy bunker slowly collapsed amidst a series of creaking and twisting metallic sounds.

It didn't shatter; it collapsed.

Neatly arranged, each piece fell to where it was supposed to.

As the smoke cleared, Jiang Nan stood before the ruins, opened her arms, looked up at the sky, and let out a long roar, her face full of satisfaction.

"Hahaha! Now that's art!!"

"Elegant! So fucking elegant!"

Chen Zheng stood far away, watching the madman's back and couldn't help but nod.

【Ding! 】

[Detection indicates that student 'Jiang Nan' has mastered top-tier explosives specialization techniques!]

[Trigger a 100x critical hit and get a refund!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the title: Destruction Artist!]

[Effect: When wearing this title, the host will possess the ability to see through all structural weaknesses. Even if it's a castle, given just one gram of gunpowder, you can find the point that triggers the butterfly effect.]

Chen Zheng touched his chin.

One gram of gunpowder to blow up a castle?

If they went into demolition work, wouldn't they make a fortune?

It seems like I won't have to worry about food after I'm discharged from the military.
