Chapter 51, Safe Zone 1 (6) - Physical Training
It was just a game quest, but Ning Shu couldn't help but smile every time she thought about it.
I never expected she would actually kiss her crush! Wow, that's so exciting!
After indulging in fantasies for a while, Ning Shu suddenly had a "pang of conscience" and realized she couldn't continue like this.
Cheng Chuan has a girlfriend; their relationship can only be a pure revolutionary friendship.
However, although you can't fantasize, you can appreciate male beauty for free, which is very beneficial to your physical and mental health!
The next day, Ning Shu, who was too excited the night before, couldn't sleep and overslept. When she woke up in the morning, the sun was already high in the sky.
Li Mengqi had just returned from the team's visit and couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing Ning Shu: "Young people sleep so well!"
Cheng Chuan noticed Ning Shu was sleeping so late and asked, "Are you... feeling unwell?"
Ning Shu didn't dare say that she had been fantasizing about him last night, which caused her to have insomnia, so she made up an excuse: "No, maybe I'm just jet-lagged."
Wu Yi chuckled upon hearing this, saying, "So what if you're not used to working day and night? You're already jet-lagged."
Ning Shu shot him a glare, and Wu Yi quickly straightened up.
The 2-point filling meal in the game panel doesn't taste very good, so some players who have acquired the cooking talent skill will make some other foods.
You can buy a serving for 1 to 2 points. It tastes better than the game's offerings of the same value and comes in a larger portion, making it popular with many players.
Li Mengqi brought back three servings of jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes), which made Ning Shu and the other two very happy.
While munching on a jianbing (Chinese crepe), Ning Shu thought to herself that life in the safe zone wasn't so bad, provided she had enough points.
It seems that earning points is an urgent matter and cannot be delayed until we run out of resources.
But during this time she also had to do one thing—improve her physical fitness.
After eating and drinking her fill, Ning Shu asked Li Mengqi where would be a good place to exercise, as she wanted to improve her physical condition.
Li Mengqi munched on an apple, swallowed the flesh, and then said:
"You've come to the right person. There's a training camp in this safe zone called 'Universe Burst,' which is specifically for players to train their physical fitness and improve their combat skills."
Upon hearing this, Ning Shu reflexively asked, "How many points do I need?"
Li Mengqi raised an eyebrow and replied, "20 points for 4 months."
"What?!" Ning Shu jumped up. "After this training, will I be able to fly or leave the game? It's so expensive!"
Wu Yi nodded in agreement. Cheng Chuan also thought it was outrageous, but he remained silent and watched the show calmly.
Li Mengqi: "Actually, for veteran players or experts, this amount of points is nothing."
For newcomers, I think it's necessary to provide some training; they will teach a lot of practical dungeon survival skills.
Ning Shu: "Did Sister Meng train there too?"
Li Mengqi: "You could say that. The person in charge there was my former team leader."
After leaving the organization, he started his own business; he was kind of my mentor.
After thinking for a moment, she suggested, "If you can't come up with that many points all at once, you can discuss paying in installments with the other party."
Ning Shu thought this was feasible: 20 points, payable in 4 monthly installments.
"What do you guys think? Should we go?" Ning Shu asked Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi.
After discussion, they all felt it was worthwhile, as long as they could negotiate with the other party for installment payments with points, paying 5 points each month, which would still be within their budget.
Li Mengqi led them to the "Microcosm Explosion" training camp, which was surrounded by a wooden fence.
Inside the fence, a row of bamboo was planted, growing so densely that it almost blocked the view from the outside.
Li Mengqi explained, "Originally, there was only an outer fence, but later we found that the trainees' training content could be seen by outsiders, so we planted a row of bamboo."
Ning Shu: "Was the bamboo also brought out from the dungeon?"
Li Mengqi: "No need for that, the mall sells them. Like those agricultural products grown outside, the mall sells them all."
It seems the game makes choices regarding the items it provides, but I wonder what the principles behind those choices are. — Ning Shuxiang
Li Mengqi led them to a man who was not tall but very strong: "Brother Gao, let me introduce you to some friends."
Then Li Mengqi introduced them to each other.
Upon learning that the visitor wanted to become a member of his organization, Gao Jun welcomed him, but hesitated when he heard that the points would be paid in installments.
Knowing that Gao Jun was in a difficult position, Li Mengqi pulled him aside and whispered something to him.
Upon his return, Gao Jun agreed.
From that day on, Ning Shu and his team came here to train almost every day.
There are many students at Gaojun. Generally, the older students can train on their own and only want to use the facilities and equipment here, while the new students have to be trained by the coach.
Physical fitness is a hurdle that must be overcome. Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi both have a foundation in martial arts, but Ning Shu does not, so her training is particularly painful.
Ning Shu's coach was a middle-aged man in his early forties, tall and burly with a square face.
Every time I feel like giving up, I think about quitting, but then I remember that if I don't persevere, I'll just grit my teeth and keep going.
The coach's sharp-tongued teaching was particularly effective; every time she wanted to give up, the coach would whisper menacing words in her ear:
"If you want to give up, do it sooner rather than later. You're going to die in the dungeon anyway, so why suffer like this?"
At first, Ning Shu was motivated by these words, but later it became too unbearable. The coach was really pushing them to the limit.
She began to waver, thinking things like "I'm going to die anyway."
The coach was not only sharp-tongued, but also had a keen eye. Somehow, he saw through Ning Shu's feelings for Cheng Chuan and then changed his words to provoke Ning Shu.
Actually, he really wronged Ning Shu. Ning Shu just likes to look at handsome men.
As you can see, the other female trainees were also staring at Cheng Chuan's face.
Ning Shu has been like this for 10 days. She snores every night when she sleeps. Li Mengqi understands her condition very well.
Almost all new trainees experience this for a while at the beginning; it will get better as they gradually adapt to the intensity.
It was another exhausting day. When Ning Shu returned to Li Mengqi's room, she surprisingly didn't lie down and go to sleep.
She began to adapt to this intensity of training. Although there was no significant improvement in her physical fitness and speed, she was not as physically tired.
She sat on the sofa, scrolling through the game panel, her brows furrowed like a caterpillar.
Her points are running out and won't last more than a few days, which means she'll have to go grind dungeons.
Seeing Ning Shu like this, Li Mengqi asked with concern, "What's wrong? You look so worried."
Ning Shu: "I don't have enough points, I need to go grind some dungeons. I finally got used to the training intensity, I have to take a break for a while."
Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi had more points than Ning Shu, but they couldn't hold on for long. Hearing Ning Shu say this, they wholeheartedly agreed.
Li Mengqi comforted him, "This is perfectly normal; this is how most trainees are trained."
Ning Shu said with concern, "I'm always worried about going to run dungeons when my physical fitness isn't up to par."
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she smiled obsequiously at Li Mengqi: "Sister Meng, you've cleared a lot of dungeons, right? Is there any dungeon where you get a lot of points but don't need to use stamina?"
