Chapter 900: Chapter 855: Falling Protection Makes Your Life Better_2

Song Lan, in his forties and nicknamed "Xiao An," had his life significantly improved ever since he started using the "fall to the ground protection."

As one of the nominal high-level executives at Kolo Film Industry, he was in no way affected by the infighting this time, nor was he anxious about it. While the other executives were forming cliques and losing sleep over worries, Xiao An took advantage of the platinum membership package provided by the company to undergo a comprehensive health check. After the checkup, he started looking at travel guides, planning to apply for a long vacation once he decided on a destination.

His wife, noticing his recent positive and optimistic changes, saw their marital relationship greatly improve, fostering a lot of hope for their future life together. They even began considering plans to have children.

And all of this began with "fall to the ground protection."

This is why Song Lan believed that every intelligence worker should master the "fall to the ground protection."

This technique not only allowed one to turn a dangerous situation around at a critical moment, but it also greatly improved one’s life, enabling one to face the future with an optimistic and hopeful attitude.

.....................

A whole day of strenuous training had ended.

To win the mentor-versus-mentor challenge, Sean Grant and the genius mechanic had both put in maximum effort.

When the exhausted participants gathered together again, Veronica and Valerian heard from them about their enriching and exciting experiences that day.

Especially the contestants from the genius mechanic mentor’s team, who even enjoyed ice-cold beers as a reward.

The mentors taught them top-secret skills, allowing these novices, who had never encountered hacking technologies, to experience the mysteries of "Deep Dive" firsthand.

The training method completely overturned their understanding of hacking, not just sitting in front of computers dealing with dull and difficult codes. Under the mentor’s guidance, they were able to enter the digital world in the form of consciousness, an amazing adventure not covered in any conventional hacking guide.

This only exacerbated the already low spirits of Veronica and Valerian.

It seemed like all the other participants had had a fulfilling day, while they, after learning the technique of "fall to the ground protection" following a meal of ramen, were left to their own devices. Mentor Lucky even disappeared for the entire day and did not show up again until the routine gathering of the participants.

As for the essence of the "fall to the ground protection," it was not as they imagined, pretending to fall to confuse the opponent and then taking the opportunity to perform a stunning maneuver.

According to what Mentor Lucky taught, when falling to the ground, one should imagine oneself as a nearly dead character in a video game, where striking back or getting up is not allowed.

To put it simply, it meant lying on the ground, offering no resistance at all, until the enemy confirmed that you were defeated and left.

Yes, Mentor Lucky absurdly assumed that their enemies were a group of courteous, polite, and law-abiding citizens.

Despite her reluctance, it seemed that the previous unfavorable rumors about Mentor Lucky were indeed true.

Mentor Lucky really appeared to be just marking time, with no intention of actually teaching them any real skills.

"Fall to the ground protection" was merely something he came up with on the spot to fool people. He didn’t even worry about their welfare—this reminded Veronica of what her parents used to say about Military Intelligence Section Seven, that it was filled with the most cold-blooded people of the United Government, who never cared about others’ welfare and considered sacrificing civilians or even teammates as commonplace.

Veronica felt disheartened, yet there was nothing she could do about it.

After all, Mentor Lucky was a high-ranking Executor at Military Intelligence Section Seven. Why would he care about such minor characters?

"Valerian."

After silently listening to the other participants’ enthusiastic discussions, Veronica spoke up.

"Hmm?"

"From now on, we’re on our own."

Night once again descended on District Four.

At the same time, Xiao An, who had been out all day, returned home with takeout from a food plaza.

As usual, he swiped his ID card, and the security door of his high-end apartment slowly opened.

"I’m back..."

Xiao An’s voice suddenly stopped.

The living room lights were off, and the house was eerily quiet, a foreboding feeling surged within him.

His battlefield-trained sixth sense smelled danger, and he was certain someone had broken into his home.

He gently set down the takeout at the entryway and tiptoed into the house. Before long, he saw a figure standing with its back to him near the balcony. In front of the figure was his wife, firmly tied to a chair and her mouth covered with white cloth.

His wife’s eyes were wide, casting a pleading look toward him.

"Nice to meet you, manager."

The person facing away from him slowly turned around, revealing a familiar face.

"Vadim."

During his time as a founder at Kolo Film Industry, Vadim was a major figure within the company. Not only was the company relying on him to train the next national level rescuer, but he was also tasked with handling many dirty jobs.

Vadim always met the company’s expectations.

"Oh? I didn’t expect you to recognize me. That saves the trouble of introducing myself," said Vadim, his smile somewhat twisted, whether from the new cybernetic enhancements or the fact that he had not slept all night. His mood had become very unstable, "I don’t have much time left, so I’ll cut to the chase. I hope you will honestly answer every question I ask, or else—"
