Shen Qian glanced at Zhao Xin with great surprise.
He hadn't expected the other party to have such strength. To be honest, this was already considered above average among their peers.
The other person clearly has the ability to easily pass the military college entrance examination, so why do they still want to join the army?
A question flashed through Shen Qian's mind.
Isn't a military academy a good option?
Is it that the senior students aren't wild enough or the junior students aren't cute enough?
"This is your student card, please keep it safe."
With a broad smile, Zhao Xin had already obtained the card. He waved the silver card in his hand and gave Chen Qian a provocative look.
At this moment, the large screen displaying the rankings changed, and Zhao Xin's name appeared, ranked 38th.
Zhong Xiaoli was also very satisfied with her son's performance and was about to call Zhao Xin to leave, but Zhao Xin did not move. He stared at Shen Qian, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Listening to the compliments from Manager Zheng and the martial arts hall staff, Zhong Xiaoli wasn't in a hurry to leave and stood aside with Zhao Xin to wait.
You want to see me make a fool of myself?
Shen Qian shrugged indifferently and stepped onto the simulator.
After putting on the helmet and waiting for the spine to connect with the equipment, Shenqian's vision went dark, and he appeared in an open space with a stationary wooden stake in front of him.
He didn't deliberately hide his strength. After two weeks, Shen Qian also wanted to see how much he had improved.
With that thought in mind, he sprang forward and slammed his fist into the wooden stake.
"Beep beep!"
Chen Qian took off his helmet and looked at the numbers that appeared on the screen.
"Age: 17, Explosive strength: 126Kg, Instantaneous speed: 10.8s/100m, Potential index: 70."
"How is this possible!"
Before anyone could react, Zhao Xin erupted in fury.
His potential index was only 68, while Shen Qian's was 70... The difference of those two points made him feel disgusted, like he had swallowed a fly.
He was only slightly stronger than Chen Qian, but with a one-year age difference, 5 kg of strength was negligible.
This result surprised Manager Zheng and others. No one expected that Shen Qian, dressed in shabby clothes, had even greater potential than Zhao Xin.
"Wow, you're amazing! A potential index of 70 can be discounted by another 30% on top of the 10% discount!" Xiao Xuan was genuinely happy for Chen Qian.
"Are you sure it's not a problem with the simulator?" Zhao Xin asked, skeptical. "Have him test it again!"
“Zhao, the simulator can’t possibly malfunction,” Manager Zheng patiently explained to Zhao Xin, whispering, “It’s against the rules to make him test it again.”
Manager Zheng and the others could not comprehend Zhao Xin's shock, shame, and anger. Just two weeks ago, this young man had been showing them a polite smile and trying to befriend them...
Wait a minute, if he has the ability, getting into a martial arts university shouldn't be a problem, so why did he join the army?
Zhao Xin recalled the exact same question that Shen Qian had just had.
Does he know... about that news?
Shen Qian watched Zhao Xin's expression change strangely, and finally, with a look of surprise and uncertainty, he pulled Zhong Xiaoli, whose face was pale, away, wondering if he had been stimulated by something.
I can finally apply for a card with peace of mind before sinking.
"This is a Gold-level membership card. After you top it up, you can enjoy a 33% discount on your purchases using this card. Our billing is based on time periods, ranging from 88 to 888 per hour depending on the training room's level. You can also book a whole time period for a much greater discount. All members can freely use the public areas on the first floor without any additional charges..."
Shen Qian listened and indicated that he understood. In fact, the billing principle of the martial arts hall was similar to that of the VR hall. The only thing that pained Shen Qian was that he needed to pay an extra 1,000 yuan for a membership card, and the minimum top-up was 5,000 yuan...
The 10,000 yuan reward from the police station was used by Shen Qian to buy raw materials for making the medicine, of which more than 2,000 yuan was spent. Now Shen Qian has less than 8,000 yuan left, and most of it will be gone in an instant.
The ancients were right: "The poor are learned in literature, the rich in martial arts."
Didi, the one-day trial card for the 10,000-yuan household has expired... Shen Qian looked at the deflated bank card and felt a pang of heartache.
"I need a 288-level golden training room, for half a day."
Originally, I planned to use the Platinum Training Room starting at 588, but after calculating the price, I gave up on that idea. The Gold Training Room is just barely enough for me.
"Okay, the original price for half a day in the Golden Training Room is 3000, but with a 63% discount, the total is 1890 yuan."
After the money was deducted from the card, Xiao Xuan led Shen to the third floor and opened the door to his cultivation room.
After entering the meditation room and closing the door, the lights automatically turned on. There was a large electronic clock at the door, which started a twelve-hour countdown as the door closed.
Chen Qian glanced at his bracelet. It was only a little past seven in the evening. He could have breakfast at the Budokan restaurant at seven in the morning before going to school.
The golden training room in front of us is about seventy square meters. In addition to the hall where various body-training equipment is placed, there is also a rest room with a private bathroom next to it.
In addition, a glass cabinet was embedded in one wall, containing various snacks and drinks to replenish energy, and even some off-brand body-building supplements...
Of course, just like hotels, only bottled water, bread, and tissues are free.
Shen Qian didn't rush to start physical training; he needed to take his medicine first.
Shen Qian took out a thermos from his bag; the second dose of his energy potion, which he had been working on until dawn, was inside.
What was given to Wang Yangming was only a small portion of the diluted essence.
It wasn't entirely because Shen Qian was stingy. The "Body Tempering Mixture" produced by Canglang Pharmaceutical required two months to be fully absorbed, while the physical enhancement drugs produced by the system, although fast-acting, were more than ten times more potent.
The last time I was in a daze, I fainted from the pain even while the system was AFK. You can imagine what it would be like for an average person.
The dosage given to Wang Yangming before the treatment was the dosage that a normal person could digest in one go, and the next course of treatment would begin seven days later... all of this was clearly recorded in the prescription.
And only Shen Qian could still absorb the effects of the medicine while in a coma.
Therefore, with the system as his father to rely on, Shen Qian still decided... to drink it all in one gulp.
Anyway, he wouldn't feel the pain, and could only look at those tedious written records afterward and tell himself he had worked hard.
Upon opening the bottle, a strong medicinal aroma wafted out, but thanks to the thick walls, nothing could escape... including the screams that might come before it sank.
This is also one of the major advantages of the independent training room that Shen Qian valued.
He stripped naked, jumped into the two-meter-diameter bathtub, leaned forward, tilted his head back, and drank the energy potion in the thermos in one gulp.
He stood motionless before the sinking, his face filled with unwavering determination.
He wanted to try to experience the effects of the stamina potion while he was conscious. If he could withstand it, it would be a rare test of his willpower and mental strength... Hiss!
An indescribable, immense pain instantly swept through his limbs and bones. Without thinking, he shouted, "Hang up!"
The world is quiet.
Shenqian's consciousness sank into darkness with great satisfaction, but his body remained standing, like a tough guy.
