Chapter 87 AFF Courses

When the mission was nearly halfway through, Lu Qi lost the drive he had at the beginning to complete the world mission immediately.

In his opinion, as long as everything goes as planned and after grabbing the joint savings, his total personal assets will reach around 60 to 70 million.

Coupled with some other income and the stock market tips Lester provides from time to time, Lu Qi estimates that he can complete the world mission and leave Los Santos and the world of GTA5 in three months at the earliest.

This means that there are only three months left for him to learn new skills!

As the saying goes, if a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries.

Now that the journey of this world is coming to an end, Lu Qi feels that it is also time to prepare for the coming of the next world.

In the following time, it is a very good choice to continue to work hard to learn new skills and enhance your own abilities.

After consideration, Lu Qi did not learn combat-related skills, but chose to learn a relatively special survival skill that is rarely accessible...

...

Near Los Santos Airport, flight school.

When Lu Qi followed the instructions and walked into an office, a middle-aged man sitting behind the desk immediately stood up and greeted him:

"Oh, you are Mr. Mars! I am Ted, and I am very happy to be your skydiving instructor.

After shaking hands with the other party, Lu Qi responded with a smile: "Hello, Ted."

"I heard Benjamin (helicopter instructor) talk about you. He said that you are the student with the strongest learning ability that he has encountered in recent years."

"Oh, Benjamin is so polite. That's because he teaches well..."

"Okay, since you were introduced by Benjamin, let's not talk nonsense and start the training right away! Are you ready?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi shrugged, spread his hands, and looked confident:

“Ready to start!”

The skydiving course that Lu Qi signed up for is the most commonly used course for training skydivers around the world - aff crash method.

The abbreviation of elerated free fall, which means accelerated free fall.

The entire aff crash course is expensive. However, for multi-millionaire Lu Qi, money is no longer an issue.

What he likes is that the learning period required for aff courses is not as long as imagined.

Among the theoretical knowledge of the aff course, trainees must learn all the techniques required to practice this sport safely: how the parachute works and its components; the box position, i.e. the free fall position; how to trigger and maneuver the device; and in case of emergency

Procedures that must be carried out.

After completing all theoretical knowledge, the course will arrange students to enter the "wind tunnel", a skydiving simulation device, to simulate various procedures that must be performed during skydiving, so that students can understand the subtle control of the body during skydiving.

After the simulation training, you will enter the final actual combat stage and perform eight parachute jumps on the route designed by aff.

In the first three jumps, the student jumps alone, but is accompanied by two coaches to guide and deal with all emergencies at any time.

From the fourth jump to the seventh jump, students dance with a coach.

The last jump is when the student skydives alone. Since this last jump allows one to successfully graduate from the aff course, it is also called the "graduation jump".

This entire process is the entire content of the aff crash course.

If all goes well, he will be able to become a skydiver capable of solo high-altitude skydiving in just two weeks.

Skydiving, as a high-risk extreme sport, requires professional abilities that are not as complicated as flying a helicopter.

More often than not, it tests the psychological quality and courage of skydivers.

Many people may become dizzy if you ask them to look out the window from an airplane at an altitude of 10,000 feet, let alone if you ask them to jump.

When skydiving, the first thing to overcome is the psychological barrier.

The reason why Lu Qi learned this seemingly useless skydiving skill was after careful consideration.

With his current skills, whether it is long-range combat, close combat, or even street racing or aerial pursuit, he has enough ability to deal with most dangerous situations.

However, the only thing he cannot guarantee is whether he will survive if he encounters an emergency in the air and needs to jump out of the plane in an emergency.

Therefore, Lu Qi thought of learning to skydive.

If you encounter a situation where you need to jump from a high altitude, and you happen to have a parachute on hand, but you end up cold because you don't know how to use it, wouldn't it be very sad?

Therefore, he chose to learn skydiving to fill his last shortcoming in surviving in the air.

Of course, apart from that, skydiving is an extreme sport that is very exciting and damn cool!

This is one of the reasons why Lu Qi chose it...

...

The first three days of training are ground training.

The main thing is to learn various theoretical knowledge under the guidance of the coach, especially the small project of basic free fall posture, which is the most critical.

Because aff has a very important rule, that is, you must maintain a streamlined body posture during free fall.

Open your arms and legs, lift your chin, look forward, and ensure that your limbs can adjust your body posture to achieve free falling, turning, and stable posture.

Fortunately, this skill of [Wing Chun lv4] makes his muscle control ability and body coordination much stronger than ordinary people.

This small difficulty was quickly overcome by Lu Qi.

The coach was surprised and excited about Lu Qi's learning progress, and his attitude toward Lu Qi became even more enthusiastic.

"When you jump from an altitude of 10,000 feet, the free fall speed can reach 220 kilometers per hour, which means that you have about 40 seconds of free fall time and 5 minutes of skydiving time..."

"You have to understand in which section the parachute cannot be opened and in which section the parachute must be opened. These need to be experienced and explored by yourself..."

Maybe it was Benjamin's relationship, or maybe it was the "envelope" Lu Qi gave him privately that played a role. Ted's teachings can be said to be devoted to everything he learned.

However, after completing the theoretical knowledge course training and before entering the simulated wind tunnel training, Lu Qi chose to take a day off.

Haste makes waste, don't do anything too hastily, eat one bite at a time, and combine work with rest, which is the best learning model.

"Okay, see you the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, see you then."

After saying goodbye to his skydiving instructor and just coming out of the flight school, Lu Qi realized that night had already enveloped the entire land.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, the moonlight is hazy.

Just as Lu Qi was walking to the parking lot and thinking about what to do next, a call from Trevor disrupted his plan.
