Alas! He just wanted to enjoy a peaceful retirement, why is it so difficult?
Reed leaned back, sprawling on the sofa in a big X shape.
Reed stared blankly at the ceiling, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts.
Although he longed for a retired life, a sliver of reaso in his heart rang like an alarm bell.
He knew well that in this unfamiliar world, without sufficient power as a backing, to just give up and slack off was nothing short of courting disaster.
When the storm comes, those without trump cards are like fragile ants, destined to be mercilessly crushed, with a miserable end.
His home was fully equipped with training facilities and equipment, and after a few minutes of sitting idly, he consciously headed towards the training room.
Inside the training room, various advanced testing instruments were neatly arranged, flashing with a cold metallic luster, and Reed's eyes brightened, instantly invigorated.
Reed first tested his basic physical fitness, exerting his upper limbs, and the data showed 100 kilograms; when he exerted his lower limbs, the instrument reported 500 kilograms.
Then a series of tests followed, including endurance, instantaneous explosive power, and reaction speed.
Overall, this body's physical quality was decent; it was not top-notch, but it was not too lacking either.
Compared to his previous life, there was a gap, but he firmly believed that with a month of hard training, he could make up for it.
However, merely reaching the level of his previous life was far from enough.
The people in this world generally had higher limits of strength and physical fitness, and there were all sorts of bizarre cybernetic enhancements and high-tech weapons the place.
Today, he could easily beat that Altai.
Mainly, his Ghost Step gave him a significant advantage.
If the Altai he faced was really an enemy, and they took out a high-tech weapon he was unfamiliar with, it would be enough to give him a tough time!
With this thought, Reed suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
In the following days, Reed didn't rush to understand what this world was like; he just stayed at home obediently.
Every day, apart from eating and sleeping, the rest of the time was spent in the training room.
He trained in physical fitness, speed, agility, and so on.
But these were just basic exercises; the most important thing was to learn how to use the high-tech weapons and equipment of this world.
Reed couldn't help but sigh that being reborn was truly a technical job!
Of course, so was crossing over!
Thanks to his current identity, he could easily get access to these high-tech gadgets; if he were just an ordinary person, it would be nearly impossible to get in touch with such advanced equipment.
With the acute insight and rapid learning ability accumulated when he was a killer in his previous life, as well as the remaining memories of the original body, it wasn't too difficult for Reed to get the hang of these high-tech weapons and equipment.
He was like a dry sponge, greedily absorbing new knowledge and skills.
However, there were really too many high-tech products in this world.
More than ten days passed by in the blink of an eye.
And he was still struggling to swim in this ocean of knowledge, with many things yet to be explored.
Nevertheless, what satisfied him were those various medical pods in this place.
Thanks to these things, Reed could train without restraint and constantly test the limits of this body.
Whether he was injured or felt exhausted and sore due to excessive training, as long as he lay in the treatment pod for an hour, he could recover as if nothing had happened.
There was no need to worry at all.
Standing in front of the tightly closed door of the training room, Butler Joseph furrowed his brows slightly and asked No. 3, who was standing like a statue by the door, with a touch of worry,"Did the young master skip lunch today?"
No. 3 had a cold expression and his voice was devoid of any warmth as he replied,"Yes!"
Hearing this, Butler Joseph immediately glared and reproached No. 3,"Really! The young master was so absorbed in his training that he forgot about the time. Why didn't you remind him? What if he gets too hungry?"
In his heart, No. 3 silently grumbled: The treatment pods in the training room will supply people with basic nutrients. As long as the nutrient solution in the treatment pods is replaced on time, there will be no situation of getting hungry at all.
However, he only dared to think this in his heart and definitely didn't dare to say it out loud.
The last time the young master replied to Butler Joseph like this, he was lectured by Butler Joseph earnestly and painstakingly for a whole hour.
Butler Joseph was indeed extremely traditional in some concepts.
Take eating, for example. He had always stubbornly believed that only the energy absorbed through the stomach in the normal way could be better absorbed and utilized by the human body.
Those nutrient solutions supplemented through the treatment pods were ultimately just emergency measures and couldn't be regarded as a long-term solution.
"Although it's a good thing that he's become more sensible, he's been training too hard. Anything taken to extremes isn't good! Why has he become so obsessed with training?" There was a clear tone of disapproval in Butler Joseph's words, and his eyes were full of worry.
No. 3 said quietly from the side,"Perhaps the incident in the Western Mountain last time made the young master more aware of the crisis."
Butler Joseph's face instantly became a bit stiff, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen a little. He let out a long sigh,"Alas! Reed has suffered. The worst injury he had before was just a scratch. It was really dangerous last time. If it had been any later, even the most advanced medical pod might not have been able to save him in time..."
Butler Joseph raised his wrist and checked the time. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally raised his hand and knocked on the door of the training room with"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Reed in the training room was immersed in his training. Hearing the knock on the door, he subconsciously checked the time and his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself,"I was so absorbed in training that I forgot to have lunch. Butler Joseph won't be able to resist nagging again in a while!"
He quickly grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat on his body randomly, then walked out of the training room in a hurry.
"Butler Joseph, you're back!" Reed said with a forced smile.
In these past few days, Butler Joseph had taken meticulous care of him.
Reed knew very well in his heart that Butler Joseph truly cared about him.
Although he wasn't quite used to this feeling of being constantly watched over and cared for at first, gradually, he also experienced the warmth and peace of mind that came with having someone who truly cared about him by his side.
"I was just about to go downstairs to have dinner when you arrived. What a coincidence!" Reed quickly took the initiative to speak up in order to avoid being nagged by Butler Joseph.
To his surprise, however, Butler Joseph was acting out of character today and didn't lecture him again.
Reed couldn't help but take an extra curious look at Butler Joseph.
Seeing Reed like this, Butler Joseph couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Young master, don't be nervous. I won't nag you today. I know you think I'm annoying!"
"No, you're really nice!" Reed felt a bit embarrassed.
"You're already excellent now. Master will surely be proud of you.
However, you still need to combine work and rest in your training.
The young master of the He family has come to see you several times already. How about you go out and relax with the young master of the He family after dinner?" Butler Joseph proposed with a kind look on his face.
The wine gathering that he had promised Alton last time came to Reed's mind. After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement.
