Mu Fan left VIP Room CC1029 after promising to meet Chubby Harry in an hour. Night Laurel was still working at the main gate, and she saw Mu Fan as he passed by her. “Hey, Lord Egg, haha,” Night Laurel called out Mu Fan’s ID subconsciously when she saw him walking by, and she failed to hold in her laughter.

“Yes?” Mu Fan answered helplessly when he heard this unique name, and he turned around and looked at the girl.

The highest level of customization that players could make to their appearances in the PO Battle Network was 10%. The girl in front of Mu Fan was around his shoulder height, and two strands of her hair curled a little in front of her ears in a playful manner. Her hair was tied up into a bun, making her little face that still had some baby fat look cuter. Night Laurel was staring at Mu Fan with her big eyes, and it made Mu Fan feel slightly uncomfortable as he wasn’t used to this.

“Uhm… I always work here; let’s add each other as friends. I’m Night Laurel.” Laurel’s big eyes smiled at Mu Fan. Her colleague on the side overheard her and stared at her in shock; it was the first time that this girl asked someone for contact info.

“Ugh… uhm…” Mu Fan felt a bit nervous as he had never spoken to girls before, and he wasn’t used to others talking to him warmly and giving him too much attention. He wasn’t used to strangers trying to enter his world as it always took him some time to get to know someone.

Mu Fan thought for a while and replied with an indifferent expression. “Sorry, I sneaked in here, so I’m not ready yet.”

“Hahahahaha,” Night Laurel’s colleague burst out laughing before Laurel even reacted. What is this? His reply didn’t even answer the question in any way.

Mu Fan blushed a bit as he had said the wrong thing since he was nervous.

He felt slightly embarrassed and was finding it hard to keep up with a straight face, so he immediately turned around and waved his hand as he ran away. “Bye bye.”

Night Laurel’s eyes were full of shock. This person is… he is so cool and cute at the same time!” She waved her fist and shouted in Mu Fan’s direction, “Let’s add each other as friends next time!”

“Damn, you’ve fallen, girl!” The colleague facepalmed. This cute girl had never accepted friend requests from anybody else, but she became interested in this stranger.

Mu Fan had already run away and was nowhere to be seen.

Mu Fan found it hard to understand since the players he met in the PO Battle Network were livelier than the ones in real life. But then, he thought how reality was… Earning money is the most important thing right now. I’ll work here for a certain amount of time. Once Harry leaves, that’s also about time for me to adventure in a new place.

Mu Fan walked around aimlessly after he ran away, and he had left the plaza where he was at. Now, he was walking on an unknown street while thinking about where to go next.

After leaving the combat hall, he was still a rookie. He didn’t know anything, and he wouldn’t be much help if he was still with Harry.

He couldn’t head to the rookie training camp as there were still seven hours left on the countdown.

Can’t think of anything!

So, Mu Fan went offline…

That was right. After confirming with the system, Mu Fan flashed and went offline. Meanwhile, Chubby Harry was in a level-5 room, ready to be match up with other players for another battle. He was going to try out the explosion tactic with his Fantasy Mode mech that was named Lemon Balloon, the same as his ID. He bought a bunch of Fantasy Mode fifth-generation explosives such as seeking missiles, counter grenades, and sneaky grenades, and he was thinking about how to use them to make them work better together.

Could anyone imagine a sixth generation mech entering the battlefield armed with only explosives?

Well, Chubby Harry thought, safety first. A mech wrapped in explosives would be very safe.

He nodded as he confirmed his thoughts, and he didn’t notice that Mu Fan had already gone offline.

…

Mu Fan took off his helmet and slightly blanked out as he stared forward. For a moment, he couldn’t differentiate between the virtual world and the real world.

However, there was a familiar scent, yes, a scent. The scent of air in reality, the unique scent of everything around him, the feeling of pores opening, the heat and the wind breeze… this was the reality.

What should I do now?

Mu Fan walked past Chubby Harry who leaned on the couch, and he headed towards the T-shaped corridor. The strength training room was located on the right that he used this morning.

Mm, the one further inside would be the gravitational room?

The silverish-white metal door was different from those of other rooms. Due to its special structure and use, the entire room was built from metal.

The full name for the gravitational room was multi-gravitational environment training chamber. Due to the need of equipment such as the centrifuge and rotor that could only be made from special material, the cost of building a gravitational room was extremely high, and there were only a few in the entire Starfall Budokan.

The metal double doors slid open after Mu Fan pressed the circular button, and they closed tightly after Mu Fan walked into the space filled with white light.

The room was a cylinder with a radius of six to seven meters. The floor was made of metal, and it wouldn’t echo even if one stomped hard on it. The walls tilted slightly towards the center, and a four-meter-tall red circular wall made up of an unknown substance wrapped around the entire room. Mu Fan looked around, but he didn’t see anything! Is this what the mysterious gravitational room looked like?

Deng~Deng! The bright white lights went off, and rings of dark-red lights lit up downwards from the top. Then, a ring of yellow lights lit up the floor, dimming the room in general.

“Please select the level of gravitational force. This gravitational training chamber have 80 levels ranging from 1X to 8X gravitational force with each level increasing the gravitational force by a 0.1X increment. The UGF gravitational standard is based on its Capital Star standard, and the current gravitational force on Planet Loga of Subdivision Four is 1.4X. The System suggests player start from level-14 and progress upwards. The maximum adjustment is three levels per command,” a female cyber voice sounded, clearly conveying the instructions and information as its usual routine.

“This training chamber is equipped with bodily data detection and emergency rescue devices. If the player faints, goes into shock, and experiences any unhealthy conditions, the System will immediately terminate the training session.”

“Please select the gravitational force level.” The System took two pauses before giving Mu Fan the option to choose.

“Level-16.”

Buzz! With a vibrating sound, 1.6X gravitational force was applied, but Mu Fan didn’t feel anything other than a slight tightness on his body.

He was slightly confused. According to the old books on gravity that he had obtained and read, when the human body had already adjusted to the gravity on one planet, then every additional 0.1X gravitational force on top of that would put stress on organs, bones, and blood vessels. The impact would be completely different from weight training. People’s muscles could be trained to be stronger, yet the heart and other organs would be unable to sustain the same amount of stress.

Level-18!

1.8X gravitational force was applied, and Mu Fan felt his body becoming a bit tighter. He tried to jump in the room and noticed that there was something strange about his body.

It wasn’t that he was unable to adjust under the pressure, but that he had quickly adapted to the change in the gravitational force!

Black had mentioned that my body is special. There’s something unique about my bloodline?

Then, my night vision is also one of the special characteristics of my bloodline?

Mu Fan could feel that his body had adjusted to the current environment within a few breaths, and he even sensed a slight thrill and enjoyment in his bones.

What is happening? Mu Fan was deeply confused.

Level-20! 2X gravitational force!

The gravity training could further increase muscle density, enhance physical coordination under the environment with higher gravitational force, greatly improve the ability of the heart to supply blood to the body. However, the side effects included damages to organs and bones. Fortunately, the current medical advancements made it possible to treat many of the side effects from this type of training.

Mu Fan had read this from the books. Ever since he met Black, his heart and mind had already flown beyond the sky and deep into the vast universe.

Cherish all of this!

Ahh!!!

“Beep-beep. System notification, do you wish to proceed with physical training after level-20?”

“Proceed!”

Level-23!!! Buzz!!!
