Orderly tyrant

After leaving the secret room, Lin Qing took the elevator along the special passage made of glass and metal.

When he returned to the Second Squad's office on the first floor, both Squad Leader Han and Qin Qin were there.

"Finished learning the battle skill?" Squad Leader Han glanced at him.

"Yeah, but I don't know if I can master it yet," Lin Qing said.

He really didn't have much confidence, after all, the success rate of mastering a Free Body series battle skill was only 4.1%.

Although the hoarse voice said he had a 30-40% chance, it was still just 30-40%.

"You still have a chance before the visualization in your mind becomes blurry."

Squad Leader Han said, "These next few days are when your visualization is clearest, and your chances of mastering it are highest. If you can't master it in these few days, there's even less hope after the memory fades."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

"The key is mastering it."

Squad Leader Han said, "It's much easier after you master it. As long as you slowly accumulate experience and become familiar with the battle skill's variations, you'll be able to unleash 40-50% of its power."

"As for higher?" He shook his head slightly, "That depends on fate."

Lin Qing understood his meaning.

The first step was 'mastery'.

The second step was 'control'. As long as you practiced more, you could always adapt to the battle skill's variations. Once you had control, you could unleash nearly half of the battle skill's theoretical power.

The third step, 'instinct', was needed to unleash the battle skill's true theoretical power. This required integrating the battle skill's variations into your instincts, making it a part of your body.

This was the most difficult hurdle, and many people might not succeed even after ten or twenty years of practice.

"But, if I fail to master it the first time, can I learn the same battle skill again?" Lin Qing suddenly asked.

"Learn it again?"

Squad Leader Han looked at him and said, "Theoretically, yes, but if you fail the first time, it means your talent in this battle skill is average. Even if you master it later, it will take a long time to adapt and become familiar."

He seemed to be afraid that Lin Qing would get discouraged, and patiently said, "If others master it on their first try, they might master it in a year or two, but it might take you several years or even longer. Moreover, once you learn it, it will affect your ability to switch to other series of battle skills. If you fail to master it the first time, you should try a new battle skill."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "I understand."

Of course, he still planned to keep studying the *Agility* battle skill in his heart.

Because he was different.

Others thought that way because they weren't confident in cultivating the battle skill to the 'instinct' level.

But as long as he could master it, he could directly pre-draw the *Agility* battle skill at the 'instinct' level.

That way, he would have a bonus when learning other Free Body series battle skills!

At that time, mastering them shouldn't be so difficult.

As long as he had enough merit points, even if the visualization memory in his mind became blurry, learning it again would make it clear again. He could always master it over time!

That was his plan.

So it didn't matter if he failed once, he could just continue next time.

"Lin Qing, which battle skill did you learn?" Qin Qin asked curiously.

"Little Qin, that's a secret," Squad Leader Han glanced at her.

"Oh, I forgot." Qin Qin immediately covered her mouth. "Never mind I asked."

Lin Qing understood as well.

Even if he wanted to tell someone about this, he could only tell the squad leader. After all, the squad leader had to plan actions based on the members' strengths.

...

Time passed day by day.

In addition to practicing the Three Times Four Six Edition of the Chaoyang Training Method, reading and studying for the exam, and patrolling at night, Lin Qing was also constantly trying out the newly learned battle skill.

With his current memory and the Memory Master ability, stabilizing the visualization was easy.

The difficulty lay in the subsequent steps.

The mental state brought about by visualization could theoretically allow the mysterious energy in his body to simulate the human body's bioelectricity, only much stronger.

Only if this step succeeded could he be considered to have mastered it.

After mastering it, he could use the simulated bioelectricity to start stimulating the body and nerve conduction, enhancing the electrical signals, and allowing the body to gradually adapt.

Whether or not he could master it depended on the individual.

Talent, luck, compatibility, and state would all have an impact.

"Although it doesn't matter if I fail, it would be best if I could succeed the first time."

"A 30-40% chance isn't small..."

As time passed day by day, Lin Qing felt the mysterious energy in his body becoming more and more restless, even causing a slight tingling sensation.

It seemed... he was only a little bit away from simulating it into bioelectricity.

But as long as he was off by a little, it wouldn't work. The battle skill still hadn't been mastered, which made Lin Qing very helpless.

However, there was no use in getting anxious if he couldn't master it.

"Hopefully, I can succeed before the visualization diagram blurs."

"Otherwise, I'll have to wait until next time..."

Lin Qing's mentality was very calm.

With a 4.1% success rate, he had naturally prepared for failure long ago.

If it really didn't work, he could pre-draw the Seven Seven Edition Training Method, which would still give him good self-preservation abilities.

Anyway, with the Invert Entropy ability, as long as he seized the opportunity, his achievements wouldn't be too bad.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the night of December 24th, and he would be taking the professional exam tomorrow.

However, at eight o'clock in the evening, his cousin Chen Yanan suddenly sent a WeChat message asking him to come to the hospital to personally explain some of the key points of the exam.

...

Xiaoshan District People's Hospital.

"Sis, the exam is tomorrow, and you're only telling me the key points today?"

Lin Qing sat helplessly next to the hospital bed, holding a fruit knife and peeling an apple for Chen Yanan.

"The key points I'm talking about aren't things in the book," Chen Yanan leaned against the hospital bed and glared at him. "It would have been useless to tell you before."

"Okay." Lin Qing cut the peeled apple in half and handed half to Chen Yanan. "So what is it?"

Chen Yanan took the apple, took a bite, and said with a smile, "It's very simple, get a low score on the written test. It's good for you."

"Get a low score on the written test?" Lin Qing asked in confusion, "Why?"

Chen Yanan glanced at the door of the ward, and then said softly, "After you become a patrol officer, it won't be long before they set up a team for you, and the city bureau will arrange team members for you, right?"

She took another bite of the apple and asked, "Do you know how the leaders in the city bureau will arrange things when they encounter a new team leader like you?"

The latest novels are available on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"The sub-bureaus definitely don't have enough manpower, so they should transfer new patrol officers from the city bureau, right?" Lin Qing said.

"That's right."

Chen Yanan nodded and said, "But the key is that the leaders in the city bureau often arrange for some well-connected juniors to gain experience in the patrol bureau, and then use this experience to transfer to other security systems or the military, so they can get better positions."

Lin Qing nodded.

He had heard about this from his colleagues in the Second Squad recently.

Because the patrol system is essentially about looking for trouble everywhere, it's relatively easy to earn merit points. As long as you have enough merit points, you can learn battle skills, which is also a big temptation.

Therefore, it's not uncommon for second-generation individuals to gain experience in the patrol system and then use their connections to transfer to other systems.

Seemingly a lateral transfer, but actually a promotion in disguise.

After all, they can't just let a patrol officer who has learned battle skills simply become an ordinary military officer or an ordinary police officer, right?

"These second-generation individuals who come to gain experience like team leaders who don't have enough cultural knowledge the most."

Chen Yanan said, "They haven't learned battle skills, so they don't have an advantage in force in front of you, and they have to listen to your commands. So they prefer that you, the team leader, don't have enough cultural knowledge and don't understand enough, so they have a chance to get more merit points."

Lin Qing asked in confusion, "Isn't that just sharing the credit? Shouldn't I score higher then?"

"It's sharing the credit, but it's also your opportunity."

Chen Yanan said, "These second-generation individuals are basically well-connected, so they definitely know more information than you. Since they're here to gain experience, they're naturally prepared."

Lin Qing understood.

In the half month since he joined the patrol bureau, he only got lucky on the first day and earned a third-class merit once, and he hadn't encountered such a good thing since.

But those second-generation individuals were here to gain experience, so they might know where there were opportunities to earn merit points.

Even if he was just following along to share the credit, he could accumulate merit points faster.

"This is a good thing."

Chen Yanan said, "So you should try to get a low score on the written test, and try to perform better in other aspects of the assessment, such as marksmanship, combat, and physical fitness. When those second-generation individuals who are here to gain experience see your report card, they will also feel safe following you and will choose to come to you first."

"Okay, I understand." Lin Qing nodded.

No wonder his cousin specifically told him in person. It really wasn't convenient to say this kind of thing on the phone.

For the authorities, isn't so-called personal privacy just the emperor's new clothes?

"Cousin, your patrol professional exam scores were so bad, was it also because..." Lin Qing suddenly reacted.

"Oh, that's not the case."

Chen Yanan raised her chin slightly, "Do you think I, a scumbag who scored less than 300 on the college entrance exam, need to deliberately control my score so low?"

...You're quite proud... Lin Qing was speechless.

"By the way, didn't you get lucky and earn a third-class merit once?"

Chen Yanan suddenly said, "Counting the two third-class merits I gave you, it's enough to learn a battle skill, right? Did you learn it?"

"I learned it." Lin Qing nodded and sighed helplessly, "But I haven't mastered it yet."

"Which one?" Chen Yanan asked with interest.

"The Free Body series *Agility*." Lin Qing answered frankly.

Although he couldn't tell others, it didn't matter if he told his cousin. He was able to learn battle skills because of his cousin.

"Oh? You learned this one too." Chen Yanan smiled, "No wonder you're my brother, you chose the same battle skill as me."

"Sis, you also..." Lin Qing was surprised.

Chen Yanan smiled and said, "Yes, I've practiced Tai Chi, so I learned the *Suppleness*, *Agility*, and *Subtlety* battle skills, which are more suitable for using Tai Chi. But I only just mastered *Subtlety*. I've only mastered *Suppleness* and *Agility*."

Lin Qing suddenly understood.

Tai Chi emphasizes overcoming strength with softness and also emphasizes eyesight. The *Suppleness* and *Agility* battle skills were indeed very suitable.

"How long have you been learning *Agility*?" Chen Yanan asked.

"Five days," Lin Qing said.

"Five days..."

Chen Yanan pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Anyway, I can't do anything right now, so I'll trouble myself to help you."

"Help me?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask, "How?"

"The key to mastering the *Agility* battle skill is simulating bioelectricity."

Chen Yanan said, "I can transmit my simulated bioelectricity to you so you can feel it carefully. Although you can't use it for yourself, you can get a real feel for it, and your chances of mastering it will be higher."

"It can do that?" Lin Qing's eyes lit up.

"Give me your hand."

Chen Yanan grabbed Lin Qing's palm and muttered, "Your little hands are actually more tender than mine..."
