Chapter 27 | Proactively Triggering High-Risk Opportunities

The morning breeze carried a slight chill. Li Xing pushed open the courtyard gate; sunlight still slanted across the yard.His plans for today were far more complex than usual—not only did he need to repair several bicycles, but he also had to try and inspect an old diesel engine for a local businessman.This engine had a hidden fault, its parts were worn, and it was highly susceptible to small problems escalating into accidents.In the past, he would never have volunteered for such a task—too dangerous, and the space couldn't provide 100% assistance.But today, he wanted to try—to proactively trigger a high-risk opportunity within a controllable window.He took a deep breath, first checking his own condition:His wrist was steady, his mind was focused, his breathing was even—completely under control.No emotional fluctuations.No unresolved frustration.The low-privilege space silently unfolded; the interface had no text prompts, nor any abnormal flashing.Only a slight vibration perceptible to his fingers, like wind blowing across water.Li Xing closed his eyes slightly, sensing this "silent window"—his actions, experience, and the subtle vibrations of the spatial feedback were perfectly aligned.This time, he didn't rely on the space to draw conclusions.Instead, he used it as an information amplifier.He bent down and began disassembling the engine.For each bolt, each washer, he first judged it with experience, then subtly activated his low-level perception to confirm.Sure enough, he quickly discovered several abnormal stress points—easily overlooked with a routine inspection.The slight vibration in his fingers allowed him to notice early signs of spring stress deviation and oil line blockage.He stopped, calmly analyzing the situation.Then he corrected them one by one in sequence.Throughout the process, he didn't rush.He didn't overly rely on the space.nor did he abandon his experience.Every step was based on his own judgment, with the space providing only weak, controllable amplified prompts.Two hours later, the engine inspection was complete.Not only was the fault resolved, but the parts were also adjusted more reliably than before.The old merchant's face broke into a surprised and delighted smile:"Xingzi, your skill... it's unbelievably steady for something newly repaired."Li Xing simply nodded slightly, saying nothing more.He knew in his heart—this wasn't luck.It was the first successful challenge under the active control of the window.That afternoon, he took on several more orders to inspect old machines.Each time, he followed the same principles:Confirm his own statusFine-tune spatial perception, only amplifying informationAdhere primarily to experience-based judgment, supplemented by perceptionAssess risks in real time, avoiding unnecessary risksThis method led him to discover a pattern—low-level space isn't something he absolutely must rely on, but rather can be guided into a controllable auxiliary function.In the evening, he sat in the courtyard, watching the setting sun cast shadows on the edge of the kang (heated brick bed), and slowly wrote down his summary:—Actively trigger high-risk opportunities,—Must operate within a controllable window,—Space only acts as an amplifier, not a judge,—Risk is always borne by oneselfThis is an advancement of Chapter Twenty-Six, "Silent Response."For the first time, he truly felt that—space can be silent, but a combination of initiative and cautionis enough to turn risk into an accelerator of growth.Night slowly fell, and only a faint light shone in the courtyard.Li Xing lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), closing his eyes.His mind raced with the more complex tasks that might arise tomorrow.He felt no fear.Instead, a reassuring premonition—From this moment on, he truly learned,to proactively manage high-risk opportunities within a controllable window.
