Ah Chen spent 100 yuan to get a gym session card.
The crowd behind him breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. They had already checked out the shopping street earlier; the items on the cruise were indeed not cheap. A 100 yuan session card was completely acceptable, even considered cheap on the cruise.
After Ah Chen went in, the rest of the people also followed suit and got gym cards.
It’s worth ntioning that while waiting earlier, Ah Chen overheard the situation that happened in the ga room yesterday.
It’s said that so people who finally won five gas were still unable to leave because they couldn’t return the 50 chips to the ga room and had to stay.
Ah Chen glanced at the spacious gym, which was fully equipped.
She didn’t know what challenge lay ahead today. Although she wasn’t in a rush, she took an interest in a particular gym equipnt and stood beside it without touching.
The people behind acted similarly, not daring to touch anything after the lesson learned in the library.
Let’s observe first, after all, the person in front is an expert; following them should be the best choice.
Ah Chen didn’t mind these people’s thoughts. As long as no one bothered her, she didn’t mind if they secretly followed her.
But after five minutes passed, there were no announcent prompts.
Ah Chen wasn’t anxious. She waited another five minutes and was basically certain that there wouldn’t be any announcent prompts.
Today, everyone was patient, and even though so began to show impatience, they held back. After enduring two days, no one wanted to be eliminated due to impatience.
At this ti, Bai Chao entered from the gym entrance, imdiately drawing attention from many people.
Ah Chen naturally noticed him too, but Bai Chao was not in the mood for small talk. He just greeted Ah Chen and chose a treadmill to start exercising. As for the person standing by the treadmill earlier, they didn’t dare to block him and even courteously let him use it first.
Those who intended to approach Bai Chao stopped in their tracks. Although Bai Chao helped them, the fees were getting increasingly expensive. Plus, he wouldn’t offer help while doing sothing himself. For instance, on the first day in the library, if he was reading, he wouldn’t ask adventurers if they needed help. Similarly, if he was playing cards in the ga room yesterday, he wouldn’t offer help either.
The only way to trigger certain scenarios is if he’s wandering around or chatting with people, approaching to greet him.
Moreover, they still didn’t know the situation in the gym today, so it was perhaps best not to disturb Bai Chao, as it was indeed costly.
Seeing that there likely wouldn’t be any prompts, Ah Chen directly got on the treadmill, wondering if Bai Chao chose the adjacent one because of her presence.
Everyone else watched Ah Chen move and stared without blinking.
Ah Chen maintained a moderate pace, and with familiar faces nearby, there was certainly no need to go too fast; she ran and chatted simultaneously.
"Are you going to sell them sothing today?" she asked.
Bai Chao replied, "Yes, with the price increase, prices can’t be lowered; I’m not sure about their economic situation."
Those who overheard were speechless. Did he also know they were poor? But why did he keep raising prices every day? Heartless NPC.
However, even though Li Chen was familiar with Bai Chao, he had never bought anything from him. Truly fitting for an expert.
Another ten minutes passed when soone who had communicated with Ah Chen before ca over to ask if she had received any prompts.
Ah Chen shook her head, "Not yet. If there aren’t any in ten minutes, you guys might have to try for yourselves."
The adventurers were cunning, but the questioner wasn’t a fool either; loopholes could be exploited but weren’t easy to find, especially on the third day.
Relying on her for prompts wouldn’t work.
Everyone was a bit disappointed, but didn’t think Ah Chen would deceive them. If it were soone else, they wouldn’t believe it, but they trusted her because their elimination didn’t affect such an expert.
Unable to do anything else, everyone hesitantly began using the equipnt.
The gym was big with plenty of equipnt, enough for over sixty people to use. However, so equipnt was rather difficult, and those who hadn’t encountered it before didn’t know how to use it—and might not be able to with their strength. Consequently, a small portion of the sixty-so group had to wait for others to use so simpler equipnt first before they could use it.
The people who took the equipnt first didn’t want to be guinea pigs but also didn’t want to fall behind. If they wasted too much ti, they risked being eliminated, so they gritted their teeth and forged ahead.
When the treadmills beca fully occupied, everyone using them received a prompt: run for two hours.
Everyone remained cautious, maintaining a speed within their capabilities.
After receiving the prompt, they looked at ease.
This should be a relatively simple gym equipnt experience, right? That’s what the treadmill users thought.
However, they soon realized they were wrong. The next mont, the speed abruptly increased, and they couldn’t adjust the speed themselves; they could only follow the treadmill’s acceleration.
The sudden speed-up caught so unawares, sending them flying off the treadmill and sprawling far on the ground with bruises. They were alive but clearly not in any condition to continue on the treadmill.
The treadmill that tossed them off slowly ca to a halt, with nobody rushing to use it.
On the other treadmills, except for Bai Chao, who was using it normally, there was a frenzy of speeding up and slowing down, variously tornting people. Another mont of distraction, and soone was flung off again, crying out in pain and unable to fight on. While crouching down to rest, they inford the others about the treadmill situation.
But at this point, it made no difference whether they spoke—everyone could see what was going on.
Ah Chen was handling it with ease; for her, it was relatively simple.
It was unclear if the requirent for other equipnt was timing or sothing else.
Just then, soone lifting a barbell found it suddenly heavier, crushing him down. He spit up blood and died, not even having ti to use any tools.
The guy initially chose the equipnt he was good at, even hoping to show off a bit, but who knew the barbell would be so unforgiving, striking when he wasn’t ready. Adding so much weight quickly, he was completely unprepared.
In an instant, one was down, and everyone’s expressions beca solemn.
Yet those using equipnt had no ti to think too much, only cautiously dealing with it. Despite their earnestness, accidents kept happening, making it difficult for anyone to guard against them.
anwhile, Ah Chen’s treadmill had reached its maximum speed, the users’ legs becoming a blur. They cursed to high heaven in their hearts but had no choice but to keep running, looking utterly disheartened.
However, as long as they weren’t thrown off imdiately, they had ti to react and could use money to buy tools.
Overall, although the treadmill was quite dangerous, it wasn’t deadly.
But well, if they got thrown off several tis, it might be a different story.
The two vacant treadmills were soon occupied, and the two newcors, being prepared, hadn’t yet been thrown off.
The two initially injured from the ground, after using expensive dicine from the store, planned to get back on the treadmill but were inford of a one-hour cooldown period.
Not wanting to waste ti, they approached other unoccupied, difficult equipnt they were sowhat familiar with, but were told they couldn’t use it. aning once they chose equipnt, they couldn’t change it and had to wait for treadmill use.
Now they just sat by sighing, guarding the treadmill without daring to leave.
