Chapter 268
This doesn't really give tourists who only have a few days to travel a real workout, but at least they can have a full experience. You can adapt to the different gravity faster after leaving the gravity beach.
It is worth mentioning that the gravity system is not difficult to set up, and many people with relevant superpowers can do it. Not to mention the gyms in the superpower world, even the "Endless Superpower Academy" actually has a dedicated gravity training room.
The reason why this place is special is simply because natural fields are relatively rare.
They had never been to the college's gravity training room, which was only available to the second year of high school. Meng Huai said that the bones of first-year high school students were still a little fragile, and if they were allowed to experience too much gravity, it would easily cause damage to their bodies. It was difficult to grasp the right balance, so the first-year high school students were exempted from this training.
But it's okay to experience it once in a while, and they are almost sophomores. So the three of them didn't care and walked in directly.
There were already some people on the beach. The Weixi Holy Land restricted the number of visitors only to a level that would avoid crowding and over-consumption of the holy land's resources. There were not so few people that they could enjoy an exclusive experience in every place.
There was a staff member here who led everyone in basic training. The three of them looked at each other, stood at the end of the team, and started exercising with the staff member.
These exercises, which seemed so basic to them, felt completely different under the influence of different gravity. The various movements that were easy to do before now required a lot of physical strength.
Physical exhaustion is not a big deal, the most important thing is the poor balance. The different gravity makes the balance that people have adapted to completely fail. It is fine when you are not moving, but there is a clear difference when you move.
Even someone as physically fit as Su Bei was not used to this kind of gravity at first, but fortunately he had strong basic skills and did not make a fool of himself.
But the others were not as steady as him, and stumbling here and there was considered good, and there were many who fell down during practice. If only one person fell down, he would feel embarrassed. But if everyone behaved like this, it would just be funny.
The coach in the front row had obviously anticipated this, and was extremely professional, with no sign of a smile on his face at all, as if he hadn't noticed everyone's predicament, and continued to train the team seriously.
Su Bei said that he heard endless laughter outside before, and it turned out to be this reason. When they came in just now, it was time for a break, so they did not expect the difficulties they would encounter during training. Except for Su Bei, Feng Lan and Si Zhaohua were a little bit nervous.
Compared to others, they are actually doing pretty well. Although they came later, they adapted quickly and only stumbled occasionally when doing complex movements, but most of the time they were able to follow the training step by step.
But these two embarrassing mistakes were already intolerable to Si Zhaohua. After failing to stand steadily again, he was rarely angry: "Is there no skill in this?"
If the only way to move freely in a gravity field is to practice, then isn't it a sheer waste of time for them to train here? Even if they spend five days in the gravity beach, how much progress can they make?
Feng Lan pointed at Su Bei, who seemed to be adapting well, and said, "Ask him."
He was also stumbling around, but because he didn't care much about his reputation, he was falling silently and didn't make any sound.
Unlike the other two, Su Bei was a little shaky at the beginning, but then his movements became very natural, almost the same as the previous coach. Although Su Bei was indeed far superior to them in terms of physical skills, it was their first time to experience a gravity field, so it didn't make sense for him to adapt so quickly.
After hearing his words, Si Zhaohua felt that it made sense. He turned to look at Su Bei, his meaning was obvious.
Su Bei wanted to shrug, but it was very difficult to do so in a gravity field. He even heard his shoulder blades creaking. He had no choice but to give up the move and answered simply, "Carrying more weight all over the body will have the same effect."
In the past, he often carried weights on his body during training, not only on his limbs, but also on his chest. Overall, it was indeed similar to a gravity field. However, a gravity field was obviously more convenient.
Although he hadn't trained for a while, his basic skills were still there. Except for the first time he came in, he quickly found his familiarity and adapted to the new environment.
Of course they couldn't replicate Su Bei's method in a short time, and Si Zhaohua stood aside in frustration. He wanted to leave, but then he thought, those who fell harder than him were still persisting, and if he left so soon, wouldn't it mean that he was not as good as them?
This wouldn't do. How could he give up halfway? Gritting his teeth, Si Zhaohua continued to follow the coach's movements.
Su Bei did not forget to observe them while he was doing the training. After seeing how he struggled, he couldn't help but smile: "I don't want to continue the experience. Are you going to leave?"
This place didn't have much effect on his training, but it was novel, but he could have experienced the same thing in the academy or in a gym outside if he spent some money. The only difference was that the gravity here was naturally formed, so the gravity was very balanced, which was much better for the body than the artificial one.
But no matter what kind of gravity field it is, it takes a long time to train in it to produce its effect. Therefore, Su Bei did not plan to stay here and waste time. Seeing that Si Zhaohua did not want to stay here, he left as soon as possible.
So his goal is to complete two projects every day, but that is at least, not only. You should know that in addition to the ten projects on the map, there are also some public open areas, such as libraries.
Su Bei has always been very interested in places like this, not because he likes reading so much, but because as long as he adjusts his luck here, he can often find the knowledge he needs.
He also planned to leave enough time to visit these public areas. It was impossible to waste all his time experiencing various projects, so naturally he wanted to finish it quickly.
"Let's go!" Si Zhaohua handed over the pillow just because he felt sleepy. He was worrying about how to escape from this damn place.
But then he felt that his answer was too positive, and he coughed awkwardly, trying to cover up his mistake by saying, "This gravity beach has no training effect on us at all, so it's better not to waste our time."
Su Bei and Feng Lan tacitly understood each other and did not expose the truth. The three of them left Gravity Beach together and continued to move on to other projects.
The first project was completed very quickly, but the second project was different from the first one in that it could actually improve one's spiritual power. There is a banyan tree in the Weixi Holy Land, called "Holy Spirit Banyan". Meditation under the banyan tree by placing your hands on the trunk and using supernatural powers can improve one's spiritual power.
The improvement that this tree can bring to people is limited. It does not mean that you can keep improving as long as you stay under the tree. That would be too abnormal. Even the Weixi Holy Land cannot protect such a treasure.
But its advantage lies in that the spiritual power it increases is increased by percentage, not by quantity. That is, the amount of spiritual power released by the meditator under the tree can increase his own spiritual power by 0.1%.
0.1% may not sound like much, but it depends on how much mental power the user has. For a high-level mental power owner like Su Bei, even 0.01% is a very high number, not to mention 0.1%.
Feng Lan and Si Zhaohua did not plan to carry out this project. Just looking at the content of the project, they should know that this is not what they should do now. Doing it now is a complete waste. Their mental strength is far from reaching its peak. At least it will take until they are 24 years old to be considered as the peak.
Of course, many people would not consider so much. They might only come to Weixi Holy Land once in their lifetime, so they must do all the projects they can. But Feng Lan and the others were confident that this would not be their last time here, so there was no need to rush.
Unlike the two of them, Su Bei had to do it. He was already a high-level spirit owner, and it was extremely difficult for him to improve himself. Moreover, he did not improve himself, but through the comics forum.
There is no disadvantage in improving his spiritual power through comic forums, but it is difficult to continue to grow it. After all, he has no experience in this and has no idea how to continue to grow his spiritual power that has already reached a bottleneck.
The same is true for studying superpowers. Because he obtained superpowers and various derivative abilities through comic forums, Su Bei's ability to create superpowers is much weaker than others. But he can continue to use the forum to change his superpowers, so there is no need to worry about this.
He can only change his superpowers through the forum, but he cannot continue to change his mental power through the forum. The upper limit of mental power known in the energy world is high-level mental power. He can't just tell other students that his mental power has improved a lot for no reason.
Now he has finally come across a Feng Shui treasure land that can enhance his spiritual power, and in a form that is very beneficial to him. Su Bei certainly cannot miss it.
When they arrived, the three of them stared at the banyan tree with their eyes wide open. Even though they had seen the world, they couldn't help but sigh when they saw the banyan tree.
What kind of tree is this? It is a tree that can be called a forest. The thick columns are like the trunks of trees, perfectly explaining what a single tree makes a forest.
Looking up along the thick trunk, the huge and dense tree canopy blocked out the sun, and the eyes were filled with lush green. Countless birds could be heard from a long distance away, but there were few birds to be seen. It was obvious that most of the birds were camping in the tree canopy and hiding among the leaves.
The tree roots below cover an area of more than 200 square meters, and many of them are directly above the ground. They are thick and long, with tangled roots, and it is easy to trip if you walk on them.
If that were all I had said, it wouldn't be surprising. This kind of banyan tree rock is not uncommon in tropical rainforests. But what really shocked people was the green spots of light that appeared around the banyan tree.
Spots of light, large and small, float around the banyan tree, making it look dreamy even in the daytime, giving people a fairyland-like visual experience. If it were a dark night, Su Bei would not dare to imagine how beautiful this place would be.
At first glance, you might think those green spots are fireflies, but when you get closer, you will find that there is nothing inside those spots. If you try to grab the leaves with your hands, you will not be able to catch anything. The spots will just disappear quietly and then reappear in another place.
As mentioned on the notice board, these light spots are actually the embodiment of spiritual power attached to the wood element and fused together. They are also the key to the "Holy Spirit Banyan Tree" being able to enhance the spiritual power of the psychic.
Several people were sitting under the banyan tree, all of them sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, their hands pressed against the tree. As their spiritual power was released, they slowly attracted many green light dots around them, and when the light dots came close, they merged into one, so it seemed as if they were emitting green light.
This would be funny if it were just a single image, but when placed in this setting, it exudes a sense of holiness. The “Holy Spirit Banyan Tree” is indeed worthy of its name.
However, the green light on some people was very bright, while that on others was very weak. Su Bei guessed that the degree of their own light should be related to their mental strength.
This is indeed the case. The more spiritual power released, the more green light will be attracted. These green lights will eventually be absorbed into the body of the psychic, becoming an important aid in expanding the spiritual power of the psychic.
After taking a quick look and deciding what to do, Su Bei picked a place that was not too obstructive, sat cross-legged under the banyan tree, and slowly released his mental power. Now he no longer had to release the gears like he did at the beginning to release his mental power.
He slowly released his mental power, allowing the mental power in his body to gradually empty out.
This kind of thing cannot be done in one go, otherwise his mental power will be exhausted immediately, and he will immediately fall into a coma. Not to mention whether he can receive the mental power growth brought by the "Holy Spirit Banyan Tree" after falling into a coma, just the fact that he fell into a coma outside was something Su Bei could not accept.
Apparently everyone had the same idea. In addition to Su Bei, there were five or six other adult men and women doing the same thing. Everyone was slowly releasing their mental power, and the green light spots that were slowly attracted around them were faithfully recording the speed at which they were releasing their mental power.
Seeing Su Bei, who was obviously not yet an adult, coming in, one of the women couldn't help but kindly advise him, "Little boy, have you carefully read the rules of the 'Holy Spirit Banyan Tree'? The higher the spiritual power, the greater the reward. A person only has one chance in his life, why waste it now?"
"Thank you for letting me know." Su Bei is always polite to strangers. "Now is the best time for me."
Maybe after a few years his mental strength will really increase compared to now, but Su Bei is sure that the increase will not be much. In this case, instead of waiting until then, he might as well use the opportunity now, and he can also have an extra ability to protect himself in the next danger.
However, others did not know the inside story. The woman who reminded him thought that Su Bei was being stubborn and frowned slightly, but she did not say anything. Some things only need to be reminded once. Good words cannot persuade a damned ghost.
She has a good temper, but there is another person with a bad temper next to her. The bald man complained in a loud voice: "I don't know why the parents of such a brainless child would send him to the Holy Land of Weixi. Isn't this a sin?"
After hearing this, Su Bei felt no emotion at all, and even felt like laughing: "My parents are already dead."
Bald man: “…”
Feeling the hostile gazes from the crowd, his entire head suddenly turned red, as if it had turned from an egg into a brine. He opened his mouth for a long time before finally stammering and apologizing in a low voice: "I'm sorry..."
Now he only regrets why he didn't control his mouth just now, and now he is just exposing someone's scars. He feels like he will have to sit up and slap himself in the middle of the night for scolding the parents of an orphan. Why is he so rude?
After hearing this lesson, everyone else stopped talking and closed their eyes to meditate, pretending that they saw nothing.
However, as time went by, everyone noticed something was wrong - why hadn't the blond boy left yet?
The notice board next to it clearly stated: "The growth provided by the Holy Spirit Banyan Tree does not take into account the spiritual power recovered during the process." Therefore, no one would deliberately release spiritual power at a very slow pace, as that would have no other effect except wasting time, and everyone's spiritual power release speed was about the same.
The most important thing is that even if the speed of releasing spiritual power can be faked, the green light around him is not fake. Now Su Bei is like a green light bulb, emitting dazzling green light. These lights honestly reflect how huge his spiritual power is.
This is because Su Bei is handsome enough, so the overall look is still strange. If he is not so good-looking, then this picture would be a bit funny.
According to their thinking, Su Bei should have left an hour ago due to exhaustion. But he was still sitting there cross-legged, calm and composed. The green light was getting brighter and brighter, but his face didn't turn much whiter.
Su Bei's face certainly didn't turn pale, the recovery speed of high-level mental power was extremely fast, and while he released his mental power, a steady stream of mental power also poured into his body. Although it was not released as fast, it did provide a lot of relief for him.
However, this does not seem very scientific to those who do not know him.
How could he have so much mental power? He looks like he is not even 17 or 18 years old. This is more than the mental power of those of them who are almost 30 years old. Even a genius can't hear to this extent.
Si Zhaohua and Feng Lan sat on chairs outside waiting. Listening to the whispers gradually rising beside them, Si Zhaohua also became interested: "How long do you think Su Bei can stay in there?"
"I don't know." Feng Lan shook his head honestly, "I don't have any reference."
That's true. Si Zhaohua didn't delve into it any further and took out a book from his storage ring to kill time.
"Do you know that blond boy?" Suddenly, a woman came over. It was the woman who reminded Su Bei just now. She heard the conversation between the two and became curious.
Si Zhaohua and Feng Lan looked at her at the same time, which made the woman stunned. Are all the children so good-looking these days? Three handsome men in a row. If she wasn't moral enough, she should have asked if she could support them.
"Yes, we are classmates." Si Zhaohua had no intention of hiding this.
So you are classmates, so it is reasonable that you are both so handsome... What the hell is reasonable! Are you in an art school?
Resisting the urge to complain, the woman continued to ask what she was curious about before: "Does the blond boy have a high spiritual power? I see he has been in there for a long time, and the green light on his body is getting stronger and stronger."
It had been an hour since she left, but the other party hadn't left yet. She couldn't control her curiosity.
Si Zhaohua nodded, but didn't say much. He just answered briefly: "It's quite high. You can ask him when he comes out."
However, before Su Bei could come out, something happened outside. Not far away, two staff members who were responsible for guarding the project started fighting!
Yes, it was staff, not tourists.
In order to prevent people with special abilities from causing damage, the Weixi Holy Land has arranged a number of people with special abilities to serve as guards for each project.
I originally thought that other staff members would try to stop the fight, but the result was even more unexpected. Not only did they not try to stop the fight, but they each took sides and the fight turned from a two-person fight into a group fight.
Onlookers: ""
They were all stunned. The woman standing next to Si Zhaohua looked at it suspiciously for a long time before turning around and asking in an uncertain voice, "What show is this?"
It was obviously not a show, they were actually fighting with real guns and knives.
Seeing that the supernatural powers of this group of people were about to affect the surrounding tourists, the tourists immediately fled in all directions, not caring to continue eating melons, and left this place of trouble one after another.
You have to know that the psychics sent by the Weixi Holy Land to guard the project must be very strong. When they fight, the lethality is very high. If there are too many people fighting, they are likely to lose their minds. It would be bad if you accidentally hurt them.
"Should we go and break up the fight?" someone nearby asked.
Those who can come to the Weixi Holy Land for tourism are either high-ranking or extremely powerful. The high-ranking and powerful have all run away, and those who remain are all superpowers who are confident in their own strength and are not afraid of being affected, and naturally have the courage to intervene.
Another person shook his head and refused: "No, it feels like this is something inside the Weixi Holy Land..."
It is normal for two guards to fight each other. It is not a verbal argument. But after the two of them started fighting, it immediately turned into a fight between two groups of people. That is very abnormal. They are irrational. Are the other guards around them also irrational? How can they fight with them?
This only shows that this group of people have an old grudge, and it just happened to erupt this time.
Since this is an old grudge between them, it would be inappropriate for outsiders to interfere. Don't do things with good intentions but end up being blamed instead of trying to mediate.
What he said made sense, and those who were ready to start a fight stopped trying. Who would take risks and do something that has no benefits?
"I suggest you go." Suddenly, a slightly joking voice sounded from behind the crowd.
Hearing this familiar voice, Si Zhaohua and Feng Lan turned around in surprise: "Su Bei! You're done!"
Su Bei nodded with a smile, facing the puzzled expressions of others, and continued the previous topic: "You also said that this is an internal matter of their Weixi Holy Land. If it is an internal matter that affects tourists, then what kind of compensation can we get? We are 'kind' and this is their dispute. To avoid greater losses, what kind of compensation can we get?"
