Chapter 153 Frightened

Lu Wanqing glanced towards the control panel and nodded in agreement, "Alright."

Zhongli Feiyu was still uneasy. He looked at her several times hesitantly before retreating. Most girls were afraid of insects, let alone the insectoids. Could she really handle facing so many insectoids later?

Despite his unease, Zhongli Feiyu still left. This was just training, not a real battlefield. If Lu Wanqing wanted to train, trying it wouldn't cause much harm.

Lu Wanqing watched Zhongli Feiyu leave. As soon as he exited, the training room door automatically closed. A glowing weapon appeared before Lu Wanqing.

Recalling Xiao Yi's previous actions, she emulated the child and tentatively reached out to pick up the luminous weapon.

The moment she gripped it, it felt as real as it could be. She was pleasantly surprised.

However, would such a virtual weapon be radioactive and harmful to the human body? Lu Wanqing suddenly thought.

But the thought only lingered in her mind for a second before being discarded. Radiation was something ancient Earthlings feared over three thousand years ago. Perhaps this problem had already been solved in the interstellar era?

If it were harmful to humans, the interstellar era wouldn't have created such things and allowed everyone to use them like this, right?

Especially not in a military zone!

As Lu Wanqing pondered, her peripheral vision scanned her surroundings. Zhongli Feiyu had set it to the simplest mode, so the obstacles, or rather, the insectoids, were also very few.

Lu Wanqing looked at the insectoid floating slowly in front of her and cautiously approached. She raised her weapon and tentatively struck at the insectoid.

The weapon merely brushed against the insectoid, and it vanished.

Lu Wanqing's eyes lit up. This was a game, a familiar game, a familiar feeling!

Lu Wanqing became excited and began to keep an eye and ear out. Yes, not just using her eyes, but also her ears. The interstellar era was truly worthy of its name. A training room, with simulations as real as they could be. Perfect! 138 Reading Network

Another insectoid approached from the right. Before it could float over slowly, Lu Wanqing proactively moved forward, raised her weapon, and struck it.

Once hit, the insectoid quickly disappeared again.

Lu Wanqing had defeated two insectoids consecutively. Looking at the slow pace at which they appeared, she found them even slower than Xiao Yi's.

Lu Wanqing felt a bit speechless, but at the same time, she couldn't contain her excitement. She looked towards the control panel. Zhongli Feiyu had set it up with just a few clicks. Could she also go and change the settings?

For instance, could she change the game from the first level to the second, or perhaps the tenth?

Lu Wanqing pondered this. Seeing the third insectoid slowly approach, she raised her weapon, casually struck it, and then headed towards the control panel.

Outside the training room, Zhongli Feiyu stood before the screen, displaying the training videos of both young Zhongli Yi and Lu Wanqing side-by-side.

Young Zhongli Yi's performance was stable. At only five years old, he could already hold his ground at level fifty-five, which was quite impressive.

As Zhongli Feiyu thought this, he turned his gaze back to Lu Wanqing's training room screen. Just then, he saw Lu Wanqing entering the control room and froze.

However, it was only for a second before he relaxed. Insectoids were, after all, too terrifying for girls. Many women turned pale, screamed loudly, and desperately fled at the sight of even a single insectoid.

It was said that even in ancient Earth times, women were like this; they were naturally afraid of insects.

Lu Wanqing coming out so early was somewhat beyond his expectations, but it was also within reason and understandable.

As Zhongli Feiyu thought this, he watched Lu Wanqing's training room screen, waiting for her to press the exit button and forcefully leave the training room.

However, in the next moment, the slowly increasing number of insectoids in the training room startled him.

The upper right corner of the screen displayed the training room's relevant data. He immediately looked up at the data panel and saw that the training room's level had increased from the first to the second.

Level two wasn't too difficult either. Zhongli Feiyu suppressed his doubts and continued watching.

Inside the training room, Lu Wanqing had still not emerged from the control room; she was still making adjustments.

So, Zhongli Feiyu watched firsthand as the level of Lu Wanqing's training room suddenly shot from level two to level fifty-five, the same level as Xiao Yi's training room next door.

The insectoids in the training room clearly increased significantly, swarming towards Lu Wanqing from all directions.

Zhongli Feiyu's expression changed. He quickly pressed the button to stop the training from outside.

Level fifty-five was nothing like the previous ten levels. The first ten levels were basically for beginners. After level ten, the simulated insectoids were very clumsy, slow, and most importantly, they rarely attacked proactively.

But after level ten, the simulated insectoids truly began to mimic actual insectoids. Their speed increased, and they would actively attack the humans in the training room.

The first thirty levels were actually manageable. The insectoids weren't too fast, and as long as one wasn't particularly afraid of them, they could usually cope. But after level thirty, without prior training, it became difficult to handle them!

Did Lu Wanqing not understand how to operate the training room equipment? Did she want to exit but accidentally raise the training room's difficulty level?

Zhongli Feiyu thought rapidly. The door to Lu Wanqing's training room also opened.

Lu Wanqing looked bewildered at Zhongli Feiyu standing before her. To be honest, she felt a little guilty.

Had she accidentally pressed something wrong while operating it? Had she broken the training room? Otherwise, why would a perfectly good game suddenly stop training and the door open before she had even pressed exit?

Or was this a game glitch, a sudden crash?

Could "games" in the interstellar era also be unreliable?

As Lu Wanqing was thinking, Zhongli Feiyu had already walked up to her.

Zhongli Feiyu asked, "How was it? Do you feel anything uncomfortable?"

Lu Wanqing came back to her senses and quickly replied, "Nothing, it's just... does this training room have some issues?"

"I was adjusting the levels. Just as I set it to level fifty-five, it suddenly crashed, oh no, the door opened, and the insectoids in the training room disappeared."

Lu Wanqing explained earnestly, but Zhongli Feiyu was stunned after hearing her. He snapped back to reality and looked at her in surprise, "Were you intentionally adjusting the difficulty level of the training room just now?"

Not fumbling with the controls and accidentally pressing the wrong buttons?

Lu Wanqing nodded, "Yes."

Zhongli Feiyu: "..."

"Weren't you scared?" Zhongli Feiyu couldn't help but ask after a moment of silence.

Zhongli Feiyu explained, "Seeing the insectoids, wouldn't you be afraid?"
