Although it sounds somewhat puzzling, a logistics personnel has acquired the second mecha of the Constant Star Train.

It's still the "Leech" mecha.

But on closer thought, it's normal, as Li Shiji is the only one aboard the Constant Star Train whose Spiritual Power surpasses 14.5.

"Alas."

Biaozi was silent for a long time before he let out a sigh: "I am not upset, just feeling a bit inferior. Zhang Damei and Li Shiji, they are both blessed with talents by Heaven. Why don't I have their kind of gift?"

"How could he, a mere logistics personnel, understand mecha?"

At this moment—

Li Shiji walked over without anyone noticing.

"Biao."

Li Shiji looked earnestly at Biaozi: "Master Mang has entrusted the usage rights of the second mecha 'Leech' within the Constant Star Train to me. This is an honor, but you both know I am just a logistics staff, not able to utilize the mecha to its fullest potential."

"Didn't I just apply for access to the Combat Training Virtual Space from you?"

"I've customized a map inside that can enhance Spiritual Power, Biao, would you like to join me in checking it out?"

Biaozi was slightly stunned, a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes: "Well, Li Shiji... I just now..."

"Let's go."

Old Pig laughed, putting his arm around Biaozi's shoulder: "This guy often spouts nonsense, don't pay him any mind, show us the map you've created."

...

Biaozi, Old Pig, and Li Shiji, each entered the Combat Training Virtual Space and appeared on a plaza.

In front was a white room.

In the center floated a light screen.

"Spiritual Power Enhancement Training Map."

"Creator, Li Shiji."

"Here's the thing."

Li Shiji explained to Old Pig and Biao: "The Combat Training Virtual Space can manifest the comprehensive qualities improved here into the real world, and since Spiritual Power is something trained, it inherently can be improved through training here and yield enhancements externally."

"I created a basic level."

"I estimate that clearing it more than four to five times might increase Spiritual Power by 0.8."

"That high?" Old Pig's eyes flashed a hint of amazement.

"Yes, yes, let's start with the first level."

"Spiritual Power reflects in various aspects, across multiple dimensions, and sensitivity to color perception can effectively enhance Spiritual Power to a certain degree."

The next moment—

The light screen before them showed four green squares, three of which were dark green, and one was bright green.

A 30-second countdown appeared on the light screen.

"The rule is simple, you just need to select the square that has a different color from the others before the countdown ends."

"That simple?"

Biaozi frowned slightly, focused his thoughts, quickly selecting the bright green square, passing the first level promptly, moving on swiftly to the second level.

"The difficulty for the second level increases slightly."

As Li Shiji finished speaking, eighty-one black squares instantly emerged on the light screen, with only a 3-second countdown.

Three seconds later.

Level failed.

"..."

Biaozi looked expressionlessly at Li Shiji, his head slightly tilted: "Those eighty-one black squares are truly not identical?"

"Of course not."

Li Shiji once again displayed the second level's screen, pointing at the central black square: "Isn't it obvious one black square is slightly lighter? Easy to differentiate, like throwing a date into a cup of water."

"I'll give it another try!"

...

Thirty minutes.

Biaozi rubbed his reddened eyes, giving Li Shiji a thumbs-up: "Brother, impressive!"

"But also thank you, you've made me realize I'm not cut out for this."

"Uh..."

Li Shiji said awkwardly: "There are nine levels in total, the difficulty gradually escalates later, Biao, you've yet to clear even the second level... If it's helpful, I can design many more maps, specifically for enhancing Spiritual Power."

"Moreover, I've reviewed plenty of the built-in maps in this Combat Training Virtual Space, and they seem a bit limited, even the custom maps have some constraints."

"I used to be a game designer."

"I think I can help you all design better maps for improving physical comprehensive qualities and Spiritual Power, thus advancing Master Mang's envisioned mecha squad to perfect and materialize quickly."

"..."

"..."

Biaozi and Old Pig exchanged glances, reading each other's thoughts in their eyes—this youngster truly is something.

"We have to discuss this with Master Mang."

"Absolutely," Biaozi looked at Li Shiji with an expression of admiration for the first time: "Although your map wasn't of use to me, I have two guys in my team with decent initial Spiritual Power values, like Mountain Cat, I'll send them here for training."

"They'll handle long-range fire support, while I charge forward."

"I am more suited to being a warrior."

"You, impressive!"

At this moment.

He finally was thoroughly convinced by Li Shiji, admitting he was not as skilled.

"Really? Will you follow me in rebellion?"

"Hehe." Biaozi squeezed out a smile, devoid of genuine joy.

"Let's hear a cold joke... lighten the mood..." Li Shiji said awkwardly.

"Let's go."

Old Pig shook his head, chuckling as he left the Combat Training Virtual Space: "Last time I heard such a cold joke was from Master Mang."

...

Under the dusk.

The Constant Star Train rested on the plains for maintenance, with many train inhabitants stepping off, lying on the grassland nearby, breathing fresh air, savoring the tranquility and occasionally spotting a few monsters.
