Due to the upgrade, the silver badge holders needed to gather and report to another location, while Yang Qiwen, who was only upgraded to the bronze badge, stayed at the original training ground and continued training with the others.
Monday, 7:00 AM.
This time, the place they were going to was no longer an open-air venue.
It was a building, and they gathered on the fifth floor.
Chen Jin was still puzzled, "That's strange, why did the team leader only tell us the building and floor information, but not the specific room?"
Uncle Lin also frowned. This location was a bit far from the residential area, and this design always made him feel vaguely uneasy.
As I was thinking, Jiang Chuan and Xu Youjia had already walked far away side by side.
They had no choice but to follow.
Lin Xi quickly followed after her.
Upon arriving at the designated location, the scene before them left everyone speechless.
This building is quite strange.
The air was filled with the stench of pig manure that made people shudder, and the low, high-pitched squeals of pigs filled the air.
Above the lobby on the first floor, several large characters scroll across the electronic screen: S City Super Fresh Pig Farm.
Even Jiang Chuan couldn't help but change his expression slightly at this outrageous scene.
The sudden silence made them hesitate.
Lin Xi pinched her nose. "Did we come to the wrong place?"
She didn't want to pinch her nose, but her sense of smell was so strong that she almost fainted from the stench!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan took out the photo with the address attached from his pocket and carefully compared it with the building in front of him.
They are exactly the same.
But the person who took the photo was cunning; he only photographed the top part.
Malicious intent!
Jiang Chuan casually shoved the photo into his pocket and said indifferently, "Let's go."
After going up a wooden staircase, the interior decoration is immediately eye-catching.
It's very spacious and airy, with a strong sense of technology and mystery.
The group breathed a sigh of relief. This was more like it; it should be correct now, right?
Go through the small door inside, and you'll find a narrow passageway with four elevators in total.
"It's been so long since I've seen something like this," Uncle Lin couldn't help but look around.
Since the power outage, elevators in residential buildings in other areas have also stopped working. Even if people have reached the safe zone, these are mostly small buildings of four or five stories, and naturally, they are not equipped with elevators.
"There's a hint up there." Xu Youjia looked up.
Elevators 1 and 2 can reach floors 1 through 5.
Elevators 3 and 4 can reach floors 6 through 10.
"What a strange design, why divide it like this?"
Chen Jin looked up, the bright light overhead casting a shimmering spot of light onto his newly fitted glasses.
"It's probably because only floors 1 to 5 are open to us," Jiang Chuan guessed.
Uncle Lin tentatively pressed the elevator buttons for buildings 3 and 4.
After a while, it seemed like the other side was broken, with no movement at all. "Could it be that floors 6 to 10 are still under construction?"
"Alright, this isn't our business. Go report to the fifth floor first." Jiang Chuan looked away.
Lin Xi couldn't help but wonder, didn't this person have even a shred of curiosity? How could he be so oblivious, focusing solely on the fifth floor?
However, what he said was not wrong.
Whether floors 6 through 10 are under construction or not open to them, that's not their concern for the time being.
"Ding! You have arrived at your destination."
The sudden sound startled Lin Xi.
Why does this elevator have voice prompts?
The key question is why it makes a "ding" sound; she thought it was the system assigning her another task.
Originally, Lin Xi was thinking about what kind of excuse she could come up with to get out of this mess.
Looking back, it turns out...
It turned out that not only she, but everyone was startled.
Even Jiang Chuan, with a displeased expression, commented, "This design is truly useless."
The gleaming metal door slowly opened, and they walked out along the corridor, where a man came to greet them.
He was slightly shorter than Jiang Chuan and looked about the same height as Chen Jin, except that Chen Jin was a weak scholar type, while the one in front of him was a muscular tough guy type.
"Hello, congratulations on upgrading to the Silver Badge."
He extended his hand with a polite smile on his face.
Jiang Chuan reached out and gave him a light handshake, and the others followed suit.
"Now please follow me." He walked ahead to lead the way, explaining to them as he went, "The training here may be a little different from what you imagine, but I believe that you are all very talented people, and you will be able to adapt in less than three days."
Xu Youjia asked, "How do I enter and exit?"
He smiled, walked to a door, and turned the doorknob.
Squeak—
...
"Did you lead us the wrong way?" Jiang Chuan's brows furrowed with impatience, as if he were about to draw his sword at any moment.
The man reassured them, "Please come in first, everyone. I'll explain everything you want to know later."
Jiang Chuan was able to say such a thing simply because this man had actually brought them to an internet cafe.
Calling it an internet cafe isn't quite accurate; describing it as a high-end internet cafe would be more appropriate.
The moment the door opened, they saw a row of young people wearing AR glasses, engrossed in playing a virtual game!
Lin Xi felt her head explode when she saw this scene.
The new venue had a pig farm on the first floor, which was bad enough, but when they arrived at their destination, they found that everyone inside was not doing their job and was playing games.
Is this for real? Were they tricked?
After entering, she couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, I wanted to ask, is this some kind of unusual test you've set up for us?"
The man paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Little sister, you certainly have a unique imagination."
After he finished speaking, he walked over to one of the people.
"As you can see, this is how you will be trained in the future."
A huge question mark appeared on the foreheads of the group.
“It’s alright, every time a new person comes to report for duty, they have this question.” The man shook his head. “This is a kind of virtual reality technology invented by the top scientists in our city. I believe that you have all played virtual games to some extent. This thing is very similar to it, but it is far more realistic than those games.”
Xu Youjia asked in confusion, "Is it advanced AR technology?"
"If this is easier for you to accept, then you can understand it this way."
The man continued, “You see, they’re wearing an electronic wristband. This wristband has your information inputted into it, including all the data from your previous training in the primary training area. It can simulate the real combat environment to the greatest extent possible, and can even adjust according to your combat situation. In fact, this can stimulate your abilities and potential even more than ordinary training.”
