Chapter 5, the activation of the golden finger
After taking a stroll and spending dozens of points, Chen Qiang returned to the fitness training center
Then, what came into Chen Qiang's view were various types of fitness equipment
Last night, I ran more than 10,000 meters in that mysterious space, yet the progress of the task was zero. So how was the task completed today? Could it be that there is a delay in the task settlement? That shouldn't be the case
This time, when Chen Qiang pushed the door, it was directly opened by him.
Go to another place and take a look. Chen Qiang left the fitness training center and headed to the table tennis hall
One should not have any abilities, must be timid, develop cautiously, and avoid being reckless
Chen Qiang is a professor at a sports university. He recognized at a glance that all these fitness equipment are professional-grade, the kind of high-end physical training facilities that can only be found in centers that train professional athletes
Subsequently, he walked to the corner of the wall, where there was an electronic screen. In the upper left corner of the screen was a photo of an unremarkable man, whose appearance resembled that of a computer-generated face. Below the photo was a line of small text introducing him:
When Chen Qiang pushed open the door of the table tennis hall, the voice reminded him: "Using the table tennis hall requires a consumption of 1 point of credit per hour. If less than an hour, it will be calculated as one hour. You currently have 199 points of credit"
The time traveler has two major advantages: first, knowledge of the historical development process; second, mastery of technology or techniques that are advanced for this era. However, Chen Qiang is not skilled in either of these areas. He only knows the framework of historical progress, and he is completely ignorant of technology. He is probably the least capable time traveler.
Could it be that the place with various sports venues is not a dream, but a real place! Chen Qiang suddenly realized this.
Chen Qiang clicked on the photo of the junior coach, and a cold voice sounded: "Hire a junior fitness coach. Please select the hiring duration."
A numeric keypad has appeared on the screen, along with options for "Return," "Change," and "Confirm"
I have also completed the task of running 10,000 meters!" As soon as the words "task" entered Chen Qiang's mind, a series of texts began to emerge in his thoughts
Is it an illusion
Entering the training space ... ... "Once again, it was that cold mechanical voice that woke Chen Qiang up. He suddenly opened his eyes and found himself standing in front of the signpost's pillar once more
Task: Run 10,000 meters. Completion time for the task is unlimited. Task reward: 100 points. Cooldown time for claiming the task: 59 minutes and 30 seconds.
In the slum, Sister Zhang sat in front of her door mending clothes, while Aunt Huang from the south was chopping firewood. Uncle Sun, who had a limp, leaned against a pile of straw soaking up the sun.
... ...
He did not hesitate to accept the task of running 10,000 meters to earn 100 points. After the newspapers were sold out, he bought three steamed buns and then ran a few miles near his residence. Only after completing the second task did he return to his place of residence
... ...
I have completed a total of 2 tasks and now have 200 points, which should allow me to access these sports facilities! With this thought in mind, Chen Qiang walked towards the nearest fitness training center
But since the task must be completed in reality, what is the purpose of that mysterious space? And what is the use of those sports venues? It certainly cannot be that simple. It seems that one must enter those sports venues to find the answer
Using the fitness training center requires the consumption of 1 point of credit per hour, with any duration less than an hour counted as a full hour. You currently have 200 points. A cold mechanical voice sounded.
I just don't know what this cheat is
Chen Qiang nodded in realization, having already deduced that this fitness training center also offered coaching services, specifically the junior fitness coach shown in the photo, with a cost of 1 point per hour
I have just completed this task. Based on the 59-minute cooldown period, the total cooldown time for this 10,000-meter task should be one hour. This means that after I complete this task, I can accept it again after an hour. Is this setting intended to prevent me from endlessly farming reward points?
Hello, I am a junior fitness coach, and I am pleased to serve you!" said the synthetic face with a composed demeanor.
"It takes only 1 point for an hour, and I currently have 200 points, which means I can use it for 200 hours!" Chen Qiang put on a wealthy expression as he walked through the door of the fitness training center.
As soon as the cold voice fell, a man walked in from outside, looking exactly like the composite face in the photograph
59 minutes 29 seconds, 59 minutes 28 seconds, 59 minutes 27 seconds, 59 minutes 26 seconds ... ... there is also a task cooldown time, which means that as long as this cooldown period ends, I can accept this task again
Chen Qiang went to the basketball gym again, where there are basketball hoops and basketballs. Here, junior basketball coaches can be hired
Meanwhile, Chen Qiang also received a piece of information
We are now also players with cheats! We are even more formidable than players who spend in Renminbi!
"My goodness, this is truly a physical training center. The equipment in our university's training facility is not as good as this, and certainly not as comprehensive! All of this should be usable, right?" Chen Qiang exclaimed, and then began to wander around the physical training center.
However, now Chen Qiang has the benefits of a time traveler, which instantly makes him feel much more confident.
Certainly not! Chen Qiang can be one hundred percent sure that he just heard that sound.
Chen Qiang thought for a moment, clicked on the number "2", and then clicked confirm
Thinking of the benefits for time travelers, Chen Qiang couldn't help but feel excited
Inside, there is a table for table tennis, various types of table tennis paddles, and many table tennis balls that Chen Qiang can use freely Similarly, there is also an electronic screen, in the upper left corner of which is a photo of a person, whose appearance is identical to that in the photo of the fitness training center, except that the person in this photo is a junior table tennis coach, and hiring him costs 1 point per hour Similarly, there is also an electronic screen, in the upper left corner of which is a photo of a person, whose appearance is identical to that in the photo of the fitness training center, except that the person in this photo is a junior table tennis coach, and hiring him costs 1 point per hour
Chen Qiang began to meditate thoughtfully
Junior fitness coach, available for hire, consumption: 1 point of credits per hour
The appearance of this junior basketball coach is identical to that of a junior physical fitness coach and a junior table tennis coach, all featuring that computer-generated face, which looks rather unremarkable
As I expected, I can come here while I sleep. Chen Qiang felt much more at ease, as everything before him confirmed his suspicions.
I just took a stroll around the fitness training center and spent 1 point, leaving me with 199 points. Chen Qiang, relying on his abundant points, felt no remorse at all and directly walked into the table tennis hall
Chen Qiang walked through each venue, where every sports facility was equipped with corresponding amenities and equipment. Each sports venue also had junior coaches available for hire, and each junior coach had a digitally synthesized face.
Chen Qiang returned to his straw shed, devoured three steamed buns in one go, and then fell asleep immediately
Junior fitness coach, hired for 2 hours! Consuming 1 point of credits per hour, totaling 2 points of credits.
He tried to use every piece of fitness equipment, and indeed, each one was usable
10,000 meters, which is equivalent to a distance of 10 kilometers. From where I live to Chen Rujiji in Liananli, it is approximately 3 to 4 kilometers. From Chen Rujiji to the train station, it is also more than 2 kilometers. Adding it all together, it amounts to 5 to 6 kilometers. I have been selling newspapers since this morning and have already run nearly 5 kilometers. Calculating it all, since I got up today, I have indeed run about 10 kilometers!
Although I do not yet know what the place with various sports venues is for, it should be a benefit for traversers! It seems that heaven is still treating me well, as it has given me a cheat!
I understand now that this task is not completed in that so-called space, but in reality. The 10,000-meter task I received in my dream does not count if I run it in the dream; it must be completed in reality to be considered accomplished
On that day, he ran twenty kilometers, which also consumed a great deal of his physical strength, and then returned to the slum
After the excitement, Chen Qiang calmed down again. After all, he is a professor and would not become overly complacent just because he obtained a cheat. Moreover, Chen Qiang has yet to understand the purpose of this cheat.
An hour later, Chen Qiang's newspapers had still not sold out, but the cooldown time for receiving tasks had already elapsed
How about practicing here for a while? Perhaps find a coach to give it a try?" Chen Qiang thought to himself as he walked towards the screen.
