Chapter 82: The training room is put into use

June 24, 2023Ai Hrist

Seeing the city lord coming, the store manager put down his hands: “City Lord.”

The manager’s voice seemed to vibrate the air, and Lu Jiu’s ears were numb: “The manager is too polite, just call me Lu Jiu. I just came to see the general distribution of the training room.”

The shop manager pursed his lips and nodded, raised his right hand, and pointed to the entrance next to him: “Just go in from there. It’s not fully open yet, and the city lord can wait until tomorrow to come to train.”

“I see, my identity is still kept secret in the city-state. If the store manager sees me when other people are present, you can treat me as an ordinary resident.”

“I see.”

The training room seems to use space folding technology. Before entering the training room, Lu Jiu had a good look at the exterior. It looks like an ordinary five-story building.

But now after she came in, she opened one of the rooms and found that the rooms have the size of basketball courts inside.

The rooms in the back were also the same. So many rooms have such a large area inside. It was impossible to do it with the existing floor area of the training room. She can only guess that the space folding technology was used.

Unexpectedly, as the city lord, she could use the training room in advance, and the training room was open 24 hours.

The next morning, just before dawn, some people couldn’t wait to get up to see the changes in the city-state.

Now Xuantian City has changed a lot. Just the Loan Hall building, the place was completely enclosed. It used to be a wooden house standing on the side of the road, but now it looks like a homestay from the outside, with beautiful greenery.

The residential area next to it was also like a pre-apocalyptic community, with tall buildings everywhere.

The area of the city-state itself has expanded, and there was a high proportion of greenery. In the past, there were only buildings in the city, but now there were tall trees and flowers on both sides of the road.

Someone woke up and opened the window and saw branches appearing by his window. After looking carefully, he found that they were familiar earth trees.

Brother Wen, who lives in a residential area, went out and found that the community had completely changed, just like the community before the end of the world. He even saw a field of flowers of different colors, all of which bloomed in autumn.

The tip of his nose smelled the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus and other fragrances, but at this moment he couldn’t remember what kind of flower it was.

Is there such a big change after upgrading the third-level city-state?

Everyone sees newly opened shops in the commercial street of the city. As for the special point of the hot spring club, it was not located on a commercial street, but close to the residential area.

There were also weapons on the city wall, so conspicuous, especially the crystal cannon. If it weren’t for the shape of the cannon, everyone would think that the city lord put beautiful decorations there.

It was daytime now, and the crystal cannon can reflect different colors from different angles.

The first destination Shen Jufeng came to was the training room. He learned about this when he read Lu Jiu’s mail when he got up in the morning.

Currently, the training room has the most people in line. Lu Jiu directly told Shen Jufeng and Zhuang Yun that they were at the front because of the first-hand information.

The first place in the row was Lu Jiu. The training room officially opened at 9 o’clock. When everyone came in, they saw the tall and strong store manager. The originally heated discussions were much quieter now.

It was just, the store manager was just standing there, and the cash register was other NPCs.

“Hello, how do you use the training room and what are the fees?” Lu Jiu asked seriously.

“The training room can simulate battles with wild monsters. Because Xuantian City is a third-level city-state, the highest level of wild monsters that can be selected for the battle is bronze level. The training room is a holographic battle, and all information about customers will be extracted. During the battle, losing attributes will be simulated. When your HP is below 30%, you will be injured. If your HP reached zero, the battle will be over. Once you leave the battle state, everything will be restored.”

The words of the NPC made the people in the back line gasp. What a good place this was. There will be no real injury after the simulated battle, but the real simulation of all data and feelings was what they need.

After all, if they want to accumulate experience and tactics now, they need to face real wild monsters. With the training room, they can have more opportunities to train and kill wild monsters.

The NPC went on to say: “As for the fees, the training room charges differently depending on the mode of the simulated battle. The single-person simulation room costs 5 copper coins per hour, and the multi-player simulation room costs 35 copper coins per hour. After applying for the card, you can deduct the fee yourself until the deductions are exhausted. The training room is open 24 hours a day, all year round.”

“That is to say, no matter how many people go to the multiplayer simulation room, only 35 copper coins will be deducted?” Lu Jiu continued to ask.

“That’s right, the single-person simulation room is more about training to improve one’s strength. The multi-person simulation room is opened by one person, and the deduction is also deducted from the owner. This is suitable for multiple people to train group strategy. The maximum number of people in the multi-person simulation room is 20 people.”

This price was fair, Lu Jiu also chose to give the lowest price. She wanted every resident to use this opportunity to train and strive for power.

The training room has 500 single-person simulation rooms and 2,000 multi-person simulation rooms.

Regardless of the large number, you will know that the distance between the doors was very close when you look in, but it was a different world when you open it.

Lu Jiu directly took out 10 silver coins: “All the money for applying for the card will be filled in.”

After the NPC received the silver coins, he quickly gave her a black card with three gilded words on the training room: “The single-person simulation rooms are all on the first floor, and the rooms on the other four floors are multi-person simulation rooms. Choose a room for a simulated battle, each floor has query points, you can check the usage of the room.”

Lu Jiu took back the card and went directly to the second floor. She wanted to open a multiplayer simulation room, and it happened that the three of them wanted to try to cooperate in battle.

Seeing Lu Jiu immediately go to the second floor, the people behind were a little anxious. Although there were many rooms, there were also many professional players.

Now there were more than 5,000 residents in Xuantian City, and there were more than 2,000 professional players. The rooms seem to be barely enough, but the residents who have not started their profession can also come here.

Lu Jiu went upstairs, directly picked a room, and inserted the card into the card slot. The room opened in response, but the inside was still empty. After pulling out the card, there was a card slot on the left wall after entering the door, which was at her eye level.

It seems that the card can be inserted here to start the holographic battle, but it will not start until the other two people come.

Ten minutes later, Shen Jufeng and Zhuang Yun came. After knocking on the door, Lu Jiu opened the door for the two of them. They entered the door with expectant eyes, but when they came in, they saw a big empty room.

“En?” Shen Jufeng frowned and looked around.

Lu Jiu quickly waved her card, “I haven’t opened it yet, I’m waiting for you to come.”

Shen Jufeng’s frowning brows calmed down: “Let’s get started.”

Lu Jiu inserted the card into the card slot, and heard the system prompt: Do you want to enable multiplayer simulation battle?

She chose yes, and the system prompted and asked if she was sure there were three people.

After confirming, they need to take out the weapons and props they prepared. All of these must be simulated. After the simulation, Lu Jiu holds the things in her hands as if they were real, but the reminder said that these will disappear by themselves when they leave the simulation room.

Lu Jiu saw a wide variety of wild monsters, and couldn’t make a choice for a while, “What wild monster should I choose, why don’t you come, I have difficulty choosing.”
