In the laboratory, various crackling sounds rang out continuously from the range.
“Don’t dodge! Take the robot’s attacks head-on!”
Lin Mo was controlling the robot, and without any hesitation, he issued the attack command to the petite girl before him.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to become strong? Didn’t you want to be a top hero? What’s a little pain like this?”
Su Yu, who had been sent flying once again, struggled to stand up from the ground, feeling like her bones were about to fall apart.
“Lin Mo, you bastard… can’t you go a little easier on me?”
‘She’s a person, not Lei Ou. You can’t treat her like an animal for training.’
‘What if he gives her internal injuries?’
After cursing inwardly, she swayed as she stood up.
Just as she tried to take a couple of steps forward, the pain made her complain bitterly.
“Stop… stop for a moment. I can’t go on anymore.”
After saying this, she simply sat down on the ground like a child, completely giving up.
Under these circumstances, Lin Mo naturally couldn’t continue attacking either.
He sighed and manually turned off the robot’s power.
He walked out of the observation room, directly came to Su Yu who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the range, and took out a tube of pink reagent.
“Drink this. It will alleviate your pain.”
Su Yu reached out and took it, shook it suspiciously, and finally downed it in one go.
A sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth.
The girl looked up at Lin Mo with some surprise.
“Tsk… strawberry flavor? How did you manage that?”
She was starting to like some of Lin Mo’s little clever touches in his experiments.
“This is not a difficult matter, and it is necessary. If I had designed it to be bitter and astringent, then it would inevitably cause new pain on top of the existing pain.”
“That does not align with my original design intention.”
Su Yu pursed her lips and nodded, fully acknowledging his words.
“Alright, you’re such a gentle and considerate saint.”
She paused, then added softly:
“Except towards me.”
“…”
The girl’s plaintive voice was clear in his ears.
At this moment, Lin Mo felt quite embarrassed and turned his head, pretending to be serious:
“These are all necessary steps. Mastering the Magic Energy Armor is a required course for every mage.”
“Although you have innate Magic Immunity, you are not immune to physical attacks. You can still get injured, so you must learn some life-saving skills.”
“Sweat more today, bleed less in the future. You understand this principle, right.”
Although his words were reasonable, Su Yu was not moved at all.
“I’m afraid I’ll bleed out before I even learn it…”
She turned to look at the robot’s sandbag-like fist, still couldn’t help trembling all over.
It was a miracle she had survived under such a huge fist.
“Don’t be so pessimistic…”
Lin Mo adjusted his glasses and showed the data on his tablet to Su Yu:
“At least, according to my test results, your endurance and the efficiency of Magic Energy circulation have significantly improved. I estimate that with another half month of practice, you will master it.”
“Ah~ Another half month?”
Su Yu immediately let out a piercing wail:
“After being beaten like a sandbag for another half month, I’ll turn into a meatball.”
“There’s no helping it. This is for survival after all. The human body is ultimately fragile. Magic Energy Armor is currently the most accessible and useful defensive method.”
Lin Mo explained patiently, trying to motivate Su Yu to perk up.
But the girl still didn’t give up.
Sitting on the ground, she blinked her eyes, exuding a pitiful aura.
“Ah… is there really no other way?”
Seeing this, Lin Mo didn’t know what to say.
After sighing, he spoke somewhat hesitantly:
“Actually, there is another way, but it’s too dangerous and too difficult. I don’t know much about it either, so I recommend you keep practicing diligently.”
Hearing this, Su Yu’s heart sank halfway, but out of curiosity, she still asked:
“What is it?”
Lin Mo was silent for a moment, organizing his words before slowly explaining:
“It’s Divine Power.”
“Divine… Power?”
Su Yu’s face was full of confusion.
“Are you talking about… God?”
Lin Mo nodded, a trace of imperceptible fear flashing in his eyes.
“Yes, as the name implies, it is the power of God… However, I have too little information and don’t know much about it. But one thing is undeniable: gods truly exist, and they are constantly paying attention to the beings on the ground.”
“Whenever a being obtains the favor of a god, they will gain unparalleled Divine Power, often able to directly achieve a transformation in power at the biological level… thus becoming the god’s messenger walking on Earth.”
Su Yu listened in shock, her mouth opening wide before slowly closing.
‘Lin Mo is a rigorous scientist. He wouldn’t tell some vague myth to tease her…’
‘What he said is all true. There are gods in this world… and from what he says, there is more than one…’
This was too much of an impact on her worldview.
“Such things actually exist?”
Su Yu felt a bit dizzy and needed to digest this information.
“Then… have you ever seen a real god?”
Lin Mo’s eyes flickered slightly.
He turned his head away and replied calmly:
“No, but I have seen God’s Chosen, that is, people who have obtained the power of a god.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded.
Although she was trying hard to imagine, in the end, one still couldn’t imagine what a god should look like.
“Who is that God’s Chosen? Do you know him? He must be an incredible person, right?”
The girl asked multiple questions in one go.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Lin Mo’s eyes.
He knew her curiosity had been fully aroused, and if he didn’t stop, she could talk to him all day.
“There are many God’s Chosen. I don’t know all of them, but it is undeniable that most God’s Chosen are very remarkable people.”
“For example, among the Hero Association’s S-Class Heroes, thirteen of them are God’s Chosen.”
You must know that there are only twenty-one S-Class Heroes in the world.
God’s Chosen account for more than half.
That’s a rather terrifying proportion.
“Is that so?”
Today, Su Yu had broadened her horizons.
A surge of heat rushed to her head.
Not caring whether she was talking nonsense, she let out a sly laugh and suddenly bounced up from the ground:
“Lin Mo, do you think a god might choose me and make me one of the God’s Chosen too?”
The smile on Lin Mo’s face immediately froze, replaced by a blatant ‘looking at an idiot’ expression.
“You haven’t even learned Magic Energy Armor and you want to become a god’s messenger? Looks like your sleep quality is really good. You can already dream in broad daylight.”
“Now, practice Magic Energy Armor one more time, or you’ll have no dinner tonight.”
“Ah?!”
The laboratory immediately echoed with the girl’s mournful cry.
