Chapter 278 Whacking a Mole

Chapter 279 Whack-a-Mole
Bing is back. He finally came back after two weeks of being out of touch. What makes me happiest is that he recognized my efforts. Nothing can make me happier than this. The training is still going on. I don’t know what the next training will be like? But no matter what kind of training it is, I will definitely overcome them all! I want to catch up with him!
——Angel of Annihilation Ling
That night, after taking a bath with the children, Jingliu took the three children to Ling's bedroom to learn about the human body vein map, leaving time and space for Shiho, who I hadn't seen for two weeks. Although not seeing each other for two weeks is nothing under normal circumstances, this time Shiho and I lost contact for two weeks. Even though Shiho is a calm person, she gave me a lecture about the loss of contact this time, but in the end she was bought by the various small gifts I brought back. In the end, she nestled in my arms and listened to me talk about what I had seen and heard in the past two weeks. Of course, I only talked about some interesting things, and never mentioned anything related to the mission. I can talk about the mission with Vermouth, but Shiho just doesn't want to listen.

"Bing, will there be many missions like this, and loss of contact like this, in the future?" Shiho leaned in my arms and drew circles on my chest.

"Well... maybe." I gave Shiho an ambiguous answer. After all, the confidentiality order given to me by Vermouth this time is the organization's top secret, and the mission is not completely over. After that, I will have to go back and forth to the United States many times. It is possible to be away for several weeks or even months. Therefore, I can't give Shiho a satisfactory answer.

"I can only say that as long as Vermouth asks me to go on missions together, something like this might happen. So, I can't give you a definite answer." I smiled helplessly, lightly twisting the brown hair.

"If my authority were higher, perhaps you wouldn't have to work so hard." Shiho felt aggrieved, because in her heart, she always thought that she, a scientific researcher who was not even an intern, had no place to use her talents.

"Well, this is not your fault." I reached out and gently scratched Shiho's pretty face. "In fact, you have helped me a lot. I heard from Sister Jingliu that you have started to help Ling and the others learn about drugs and poisons?"

"Yes. Although it's just the basics, I believe that at this stage, the pharmacology knowledge I have learned can be taught to them. As for a deeper understanding, I think I have to learn as I go along before I can teach." Shiho looked up at me. "You ask this, is there something you want to explain?"

"Yeah... a little bit." I chuckled. "Sister Jingliu has been teaching the children about the meridians of the human body for a week. She has already talked about some of the key acupuncture points, the vital parts of the human body, and the connection between tendons, so I plan to let the children start practicing from next week."

"practice?"

"Well. I asked Vermouth for a few human corpses for on-site dissection. This will increase the children's understanding of the human body. But at the same time, I need you to help me prioritize the use of toxins and the effects of various toxins on the human body. Is that okay?"

"As for toxins..." Shiho's blue eyes turned slightly. "I think it's possible. After all, the relevant knowledge I compiled also includes toxins, but I haven't studied it in depth yet. So I need some time to study and prepare lessons."

"Is one month enough?" I asked tentatively. "In the next month, I will change the children's training policy. I will teach them human anatomy together with Sister Jingliu. After a month, the children will need to learn how to use toxins."

"A month? That's enough." Shiho confirmed. "But don't you dislike using poison? Why..."

"I don't like to use it, but for Ling, she will definitely come into contact with poison. After all, the path she has chosen is a very difficult one. And poison can save her from a lot of danger. And Mari and Taichi also need to use poison to assist. Besides, poison is a compulsory course. Even if no one uses it, they must know how to deal with it."

"So, I should focus on detoxification?"

"Yes, that's true. But the priority is to be able to mix common household chemicals into simple poisons, this approach."

"I understand. I'll go back and prepare now." Shiho was about to stand up, but I pulled her back.

"Why rush? Let's talk about it tomorrow. Tonight belongs to us." I smiled at the person next to me with a slightly teasing smile. "Well... okay."

“Huh?” I was a little surprised that Shiho didn’t refute. According to the usual practice, Shiho would just kick me away. What happened this time… Could it be that after not seeing each other for two weeks, Shiho has allowed me to… Hey, hey, hey.

"After all, we haven't seen each other for two weeks." Shiho's gentle voice made me feel a little numb. Just when I was about to take follow-up actions, the gentle voice sounded again with a hint of cunning. "I haven't seen you for two weeks... It's just right. I need to catch up with you on the knowledge you missed in the past two weeks!"

At that time, my expression was like this.

The peaceful night passed in a flash, and the next morning, after breakfast, Ling and I started new training at the training ground.

"After two weeks of physical training, you have fully adapted to 0.2 times gravity, and your physical fitness and physical quality have also greatly improved. So starting from today, I will give you a new training program." Standing on the training ground, I said to the children. "First, run laps to warm up, and then rapid shooting. I will go prepare the props for the new project."

"Bing, do we need to keep our gravity ring at 0.2 times? I think it can be improved." Ling asked me.

"No, just keep it at 0.2 for now. The next training will not be easy to deal with." I smiled at her. "Go run laps, I'll be back soon." After saying that, I ignored Ling's somewhat puffy face and walked towards the equipment room. Here, Sister Bei has prepared all the props I need. Of course, the body is not placed here, but in a special ice storage.

I took the nine-grid circuit board and iron wire from here. Then I went back to the children's place to start the layout. When the children who were running saw me holding such strange things, they couldn't help but look at me. They looked at each other, but couldn't figure out what I was going to do.

Soon, the children finished warming up, and after firing a hundred rounds of bullets, they gathered around me. They looked at the props I prepared for them. It was a not-too-big nine-square metal plate, with four iron wires fixed in the middle of the plate, and a layer of woolen cloth wrapped around the wires. The wires were about 30 centimeters apart, and the height was about one meter. There were three sets of such props in total, which should be prepared for the three children separately.

"The next exercise is called whack-a-mole," I clapped my hands and said to the children. "First, you have to stand in the middle of these four lines and stand up straight," I said while demonstrating. "Then listen to my orders. When my orders are given, you have to squat and then move. When I say left, you go left and move to the middle of the two leftmost ropes. Then stand up straight. When I say right, you go to the right, and when I say center, you go to the center. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes." The three children answered. "But Bing, what's the point of this training? I think it's easy." Ling asked.

"Well, you'll know after you try it. By the way, take off your shoes and socks before you go up." I said with a sly smile. "Remember, don't touch the rope." "I always feel like you have a conspiracy..." Ling looked distrustful.

"Ha, I've told you all. You'll know after you try it. So, get ready." After he finished speaking, the children took off their shoes and socks and stepped onto three nine-square metal plates.

Seeing that the children were ready, I took out a small recorder from my pocket. After pressing the button, Jingliu's sweet voice came out.

"Yohoo~ Kittens, put on your cat ears and get ready~"

"Uh..." The three children instantly looked upset.

"Bing... When will you get enough of this cat-eared stalk of yours?" Ling rolled her eyes at me. "Needless to say, it must be your bad taste that made Sister Jingliu say that."

"Okay, okay, put on your cat ears and get ready." With a playful smile on my face, I took out three cat ear headdresses from my necklace and handed them to the children.

"Why do you carry this with you?" Ling looked puzzled, "You really like cats that much..."

"Get ready~3~2~1~Left, middle, right, middle. Left, right, left, right..." Before Ling could finish her complaints, Jingliu's commands sounded in the recorder, and Ling had no choice but to do as she was told.

Perhaps due to long-term training, the movements of Ling and the other two were very smooth, and no one touched the rope. But after a minute and a half, their faces turned ugly.

"OK~ Half of the time is up, we need to speed up~" Jingliu's voice was full of energy, but the speed of issuing orders was getting faster and faster. "Left, center, right, center, left, right, center, right..." The speed gradually increased, and the children's steps became faster and faster. However, the long-term left and right movement made their legs begin to become tired, and the continuous up and down squatting also seemed a little shaky. So, at about two and thirty seconds, Taiyi, who was standing on the left, was the first to touch the iron wire beside his head. There was a harsh sound, and a strong electric current was emitted from the nine-square metal plate under Taiyi's feet. Taiyi's body twitched suddenly, and he fell to the ground with a scream.

When Ling and Mary saw Taiyi lying on the ground, they lost their focus for a moment and missed Jingliu's command, and both of them were electrocuted.

"Not bad. You can hold on for two and a half minutes even with a 0.2 times gravity ring. I am satisfied with your performance."

"But, damn it. It actually discharged electricity..." Ling struggled to get up after a twitch. "How can you train like this!"

"Hey, the purpose of this training is actually to let you practice your reaction speed and footwork sensitivity, that is, the ability to dodge left and right. This is a great exercise for the stability of your lower body. The voltage punishment is to allow you to relieve muscle fatigue as quickly as possible. Don't worry, the voltage is less than 80V, and the current of seconds will not kill you."

"Hmph, you're bullying us while you're enjoying yourself. I don't care. You have to practice with us!" Unexpectedly, Ling started to act coquettishly towards me.

"Well... okay, then I'll play with you guys." With a faint smile, I walked into the equipment room again, got a set of equipment, then took off my shoes and socks and stood opposite Ling.

"Ready, start." Jingliu's voice came out of the recorder again. I also started whack-a-mole training with the children.

At 2:45, Taiyi fell to the ground. At 2:53, Mary fell to the ground. At 3:02, Ling twitched from the electric shock. But she didn't breathe. Instead, she immediately looked at me. She watched me shuttle back and forth between the four wires with amusement.

The sound of Jingliu was getting faster and faster, and I was like a mole, jumping up and down between the four wires. This action seemed funny, but the children's eyes were full of shock. Because it had been more than four minutes. And the Jingliu command was issued nearly three times per second.

Finally, after just over five minutes, I finally couldn't keep up with the command speed. I staggered and fell to the ground.

"Fuck, this is not a training for human beings!" Lying on the ground, I gasped heavily and complained loudly about the training program I had set up.

"Five, five minutes..." Ling glared at me. "You've lasted five minutes, what else do you want? We didn't even last half of your time!"

Indeed, half of this five minutes is not as simple as two minutes and thirty seconds. After all, as time goes by, the commands are accelerating and physical strength is consumed exponentially. This exponential increase in difficulty cannot be measured by halving the time.

"Hu...Hu...Wait, when you can hold out for four minutes, you will pass." I said while lying on the ground, looking at the empty ceiling. "At three and a half minutes, the command will change to two per second, and at four and a half minutes, it will be three per second. Even faster, it will be four per second, and even I can't reach that level now. The standard I set is that if you can hold out for four minutes, I will consider you qualified."

"Tell me, what are you like now?" Ling caught the key point of my words. I didn't say anything, but just gently tapped the gravity ring on my wrist. Ling was relieved.

"You mean, if you take off this 0.2 times gravity, you can break the five-minute limit and break the four commands per second?"

"That's about right. But someone who can attack four times in one second can basically be avoided with a bigger dodge, so from the perspective of saving your life, this move is not practical. But if you can do it, I will only praise you." I sat up and looked at the number 0.35 displayed on the remote control to avoid Ling's small question. "Then, you guys continue playing. I'll go back and rest for a while." I stood up and walked towards the door. I need to get some nutrients that Jingliu gave me, and let Jingliu help me relax. This set of moves has caused serious damage to my knee joints. Don't think that it's just a little bit of gravity. But in the extreme, it has already started to damage the body.

"Aren't you going to train with us?" Ling shouted.

"No, I already got sick of this training in my previous life."

"...Eh?"

　I heard that a reader's book is about to expire, so I quickly updated it. 2333. Did you have a good Spring Festival holiday? Anyway, I have returned to class. There are still... two months before graduation?
