Chapter 6

After the military's sweep during the day, everyone in the red-light district was in a state of panic. There was a sense of panic and danger everywhere. Gu Ding even heard the sound of gunfire between the two sides in the middle of the night.

On his way to the academy the next morning, Gu Ding noticed that the Red Light District was much quieter. There were even some damaged buildings, and he could vaguely guess what had happened last night. The entrance was heavily guarded by the Army, and everyone who entered and left had to have their iris scanned.

When he arrived at the academy, he heard many people talking about what had happened the day before.

"Gu Ding, was there a fight in the Red Light District yesterday?" If being a chatterbox was a skill, then Reid was undoubtedly talented in this skill. If gossiping was also a skill, then he was also talented in this skill. It was unlikely that he would miss out on such "current events".

"I didn't see it, but I heard both sides exchanging gunfire last night. When I came out of the Red Light District this morning, the entrance was cordoned off by the Army." Gu Ding nodded. He knew that if he did not tell Reid something, this guy would probably keep pestering him.

"Do you know what's going on?" Reid's interest was piqued when his news was confirmed.

"Yesterday, the Army went to Auntie Roastbeef's tavern to investigate. It's said that something from the Federal Government was stolen. I don't know what exactly it was. "Gu Ding actually suspected that the thing that the Army said was lost was his Neptune.

"Go to the library." After Reid walked away, Neptune's voice suddenly rang out. "Skynet's military information and civilian information are separated. All the information I can gather so far comes from the civilian network and the underground network. Although your academy is only a military academy, the internal network is connected to the Army. I should be able to gather some useful military information through the library's network. "

"Can't you break through this limit?" Gu Ding felt that what Neptune said about the Master Key was a bit exaggerated.

"You have no idea how powerful an adult superintelligence is. Skynet's network can cover more than a hundred Cosmic Nations. The network's stability can resist all kinds of interference from different universes and dimensions. This behemoth is almost flawless." Neptune was obviously wary of Skynet. "Based on my current condition, I can forcibly break through the 70% limit set by Skynet, but I will definitely be detected by Skynet. Once she finds out, she'll kill me immediately. Your identity and location will also be exposed, and you'll be hunted down by the federal government. When it is not necessary, I must conceal my presence as much as possible. "

"I didn't know Skynet was so powerful …" Gu Ding scratched his head. "Let's go to the library!"

Most of Planet Aquamarine's natural resources had been destroyed in the calamity before the New Era, and a large number of plants had disappeared. This had also caused old trees to become a rare species, and paper had naturally become a high-value luxury item.

Of course, the library was not a place filled with all kinds of paper books. All the books were stored in the form of data. As long as the electronic wristwatch was connected to the port inside the library, the entire Sector's basic military area's information could be shared.

Gu Ding found a port and sat down. He connected his electronic wristwatch to the port. About two to three minutes later, Neptune's voice was heard. "I'm done. We can go now!"

Once they were out of the library, Neptune's voice was heard again. "I just scanned the Army's network and found an unexpected surprise."

"Did you find a loophole in the system?" Gu Ding was slightly hopeful.

"That's not it. I just found a hidden item, and it has been restricted." Gu Ding was surprised by Neptune's answer. "To avoid being discovered, I spent some time bypassing the restriction."

"What is it?" Gu Ding vaguely felt that the hidden item was unusual.

"It's a set of martial arts called Ultimate Arts. I skimmed through it, and the content is derived from the real martial arts of the ancient civilization, Ultimate Arts …"

"Ultimate Arts? I've heard of it. " Gu Ding had a strange expression on his face. "It is said that when the martial arts civilization first flourished, there was a genius in the human world who learned ancient martial arts martial arts. He combined the strengths of many martial arts and created Ultimate Arts. The unique feature of this martial arts is that it allows humans to attack without being limited to their fists and feet. Instead, it extends to their elbows, knees, head, fingers, and other unconventional parts, turning every part of the body into a weapon. This set of Ultimate Arts also made him the king of close combat. However, after the Federal Government obtained his approval, they passed this martial arts to the Army. However, no one was able to cultivate it. After that, the matter was left unsettled. "

"Not only is this Ultimate Arts incomplete, but it also has serious flaws. I have the complete version of the real Ultimate Arts in my databank. There are a total of twelve levels. This incomplete martial arts only has seven levels, and its power is far inferior to the real Ultimate Arts, "Neptune said with a hint of mockery. "The complete version of Ultimate Arts is the true essence of the martial arts era. It took tens of billions of martial arts powerhouses nearly two hundred thousand years to sum up. It is the real holy book of martial arts. It was once a bright comet in the martial arts civilization, and it was very popular for a time."

"For ordinary martial arts, it's good enough to bring out more than 80% of the user's potential combat effectiveness. However, Ultimate Arts' Level 1 moves can bring out a perfect 100% of the user's potential combat effectiveness. At Level 2, it can increase it to 120%, 150% at Level 3, 200% at Level 4, 300% at Level 5, 500% at Level 6, 10 times at Level 8, 20 times at Level 8, 40 times at Level 9, 80 times at Level 11, 160 times at Level 12, and 320 times at Level 12! Even if one cultivates the incomplete Ultimate Arts up to Level 7, it would only increase one's combat effectiveness by 400%. "

"The real Ultimate Arts requires one to start cultivating from a Rank 1 Gene Body. Moreover, one must have a Cell Index of more than 15 points to successfully cultivate it. As for the incomplete version, there are no restrictions on Gene Levels. If one is a Rank 1 Gene Body, one can cultivate it as long as 12 points and above. However, one can only cultivate it up to Level 7 at most. Any higher and the body will collapse. For people who cultivate this martial arts, the rate of cell division increases with the intensity of their cultivation. This will cause the cultivator to age prematurely and die. "

"If it's as you say, then no one will be able to cultivate this set of techniques. For a Rank 1 Gene Body, a Cell Index of 10 points is the limit. Unless one breaks through to a Rank 2 Gene Body, the Cell Index can only increase again. "Gu Ding felt that the requirements for cultivating this martial arts were unbelievably high.

"Under normal circumstances, the Cell Index is indeed limited by the strength of the gene. However, there are some special methods that can break through this barrier. For example, by taking a cell enhancer, you can use electric current to stimulate the activity of the cells. The effect may be limited, but you can also use directional radiation to directly guide the cell to mutate and strengthen … "

"All these enhancements, no matter which one, will cost at least ten thousand Star Credits. I don't have that much money." Gu Ding was telling the truth this time. He could only earn 5 Star Credits a month. After deducting his daily expenses, his savings over the years only added up to about 200 Star Credits.

"I suggest you take a look at your personal account." Neptune's tone was very calm.

Gu Ding opened his account with some doubts and looked at the number on it. "Why is there so much money in my account?"
