Chapter 299: Chapter 74: Am I in the Wrong Area? (3rd Update)
Sitting in the spacious floating transport vehicle, the crowd had already begun to whisper secretly.
For Mu Fan, who particularly values money, the academy currency—credits, which was more precious than money, had clearly caught his attention.
What could credits be exchanged for in the academy?
Specifically, they didn’t know, but it must be something very valuable.
This time, the floating transport vehicle was unlike the armored transport vehicles; it had no dark interior space, and everyone could clearly see the changes in the outside scenery through the bulletproof glass.
After passing over three hills consecutively, the vehicle finally stopped.
“Disembark and gather!”
When they got out of the vehicle, people realized that they were facing a spaceship with a decidedly sci-fi appearance.
The entire building’s surface was entirely covered with ceramics and glass, reflective except for the blazing blue and white colors!
Was there such a trendy venue inside the Special Training Base?
Unlike the previous steel and rock style martial arts halls, it completely abandoned the primitive and rugged look. At the entrance of the hall, six bright but not glaring characters continuously changed shape.
“Special Training Virtual Cabin Hall!”
Seeing the students quickly arrange themselves into a queue, the Major’s gaze moved across each student’s face.
“The venue in front of you now is the academy’s Special Training Virtual Cabin Hall. Remember the words ‘special training,’ it means that the equipment here surpasses that of Dingchuan Academy’s official Virtual Cabin Training Hall.”
“You all must be very eager to know what exceeds, right? Kids, the Spirit Mandatory Stabilization System, Dynamic Metabolic Compensation, Complete Touch Simulation, and a Dingchuan-specific Special Battle Net. It can be said that here, you enjoy a treatment unique on this planet.”
After finishing his speech, the Major, seeing several people still looking puzzled, continued, “However, these are not what I like best. What I like most is the ‘100% Pain Lock’ feature, which I believe you will experience soon. Alright, follow me inside, and be careful not to wander around, as there are extremely strict autonomous laser protection devices inside.”
The group of students obediently followed the Major into the hall, and he continued to explain as they walked:
“Special Training Virtual Cabin, you can undergo fighting and mecha training, and this week’s training will all be conducted here; the first three days will be fighting training, and the last three days will be mecha training. Regarding training rules, each virtual cabin corresponds to one account, with no need for applications. After entering the exclusive combat area, you can arrange your training items.”
“Martial Arts Hall Challenge, calculated by the total level of the halls occupied after three days to determine the final ranking. Don’t be happy, because the halls you occupy can also be challenged by others. This area is the Galaxy Federation and Gardot Empire’s B-level and above academy students’ interstellar academy alliance combat zone.”
“It’s currently August, but considering the differences in the orbital and rotational periods of various planets, therefore, the only good news is… not all opponents are of the same level.”
The Major stopped, turned, and smiled at the group of teenagers.
Mu Fan was carefully considering the Major’s words; the information was significant, but the entirely new combat mode was something he was hearing about for the first time.
He seemed to have only undergone fighting training under the Fighter Instructor in the Battle Net, but he had never heard of these Martial Arts Hall Challenges before.
“Boys, push on, my faith is with you.”
As the Major stretched out his hand, the huge metal doors slid diagonally to both sides, and a blast of cold air hit, chilling him to the bone.
Inside, rows of black cabins emitting a quiet blue glow appeared in front of the teenagers.
“It’s stunning!”
“A cabin is more than two meters long?”
“I’ve never seen such a huge virtual cabin before!!”
Except for Zhang Shaotang and White Hair, who showed no reaction watching this, including Shi Sen, Joe Bollen, Gao Baiyun, and others, all wore faces of surprise looking at this training hall of thousands of square meters.
As for Mu Fan, his eyes were already fixed on these high-tech cabins and couldn’t move away.
The data wiring of a single cabin alone was thicker than his Light Computer helmet, this design was totally reminiscent of the high-tech Biological Repair Chambers from space war movies.
Now how could there be hundreds of them here?
The ground still occasionally emitted cold mist, and these quietly lying hundreds of virtual cabins attracted everyone’s attention.
“Listen to my roll call, enter in order, starting from the first Administrative Star Region, this virtual cabin will be bound to you until the training ends.”
“Cabin 1, Zhang Shaotang.”
“Cabin 2, Shi Sen.”
…
“Cabin 91, Mu Fan.”
“`
…
“Cabin 100, Du Ang.”
As the Major called out names, holographic number screens lit up above each virtual cabin, and everyone walked to their respective cabins.
“Press your palm on the palm print recognition area to bind your palm print and DNA.”
Hearing the Major’s words, Mu Fan pressed his palm on the illuminated rectangular scanning area, a cold light flashed, and the background color of the scanning area turned green.
Authorized!
The cabin door sprang open!
A mist spilled out from inside.
After waiting for the mist to dissipate, one could see the unknown material of the inner cabin; he touched it, slightly cool but comfortable.
“Go inside, during the rest time, you will receive a notification of your personal information.”
So with Major Lin Hao’s gentle wave of hand, the cabin door slowly closed, and darkness fell before Mu Fan’s eyes.
The devices corresponding to his limbs and brain gently reached out and locked in place.
Mu Fan truly entered the so-called exclusive special training Battle Net!
It felt incredibly similar to the Battle Net of the PO!
Wait, isn’t this the Battle Net of the PO?
As Mu Fan stood in the black void, high-definition holographic projections appeared before his eyes, he discovered that all the operation screens were exactly like those in the PO Battle Net.
“Trainer: UnDC010091.”
The personal information panel only displayed this name, not the familiar “Egg Lord,” which was a relief. The old name would have been embarrassing to use.
But what did this name mean? Was it generated in a certain sequence?
Mu Fan began curiously sliding through the light screen.
“There are no self-selection criteria like those in PO Battle Net here, only two options, one for Fighting training and one for Mecha training, the latter being grayed out and unselectable.”
So, it was Fighting training then, Mu Fan pressed on the light screen in front of him, and instantly the surrounding stars swept towards him.
“Do you want to be the strongest? Do you want the respect of thousands? Fifteen days for basic proficiency, sixty days for mastery, Aurora Martial Arts Hall welcomes you!”
“Here are the coolest skills, an exclusive signature fighting skill—Fire Axe Bomb, please choose Red Wolf Martial Arts Hall!”
As soon as the voice fell, a man brought his hands together and then pushed out a half-meter tall flame in the shape of a war axe, blasting a target several meters away into debris.
“A-level unique combat skill—Demon Fall! Join the combat practice with a winning rate of up to 85% at Chenyu Martial Arts Hall for the diamond-level fighter ‘Douqi Cangliang,’ live viewing only 20 Star Coins!! A chance not to be missed!”
“Plasma Beam Fist! Attack faster than the speed of sound! Super A-level Fighting Skill teaching, 988 Star Coins for guaranteed learning!”
…
When Mu Fan, clad in military training trousers and a combat vest, appeared on this bustling street, the lively atmosphere instantly engulfed him.
This wooden street resembled a frontier town style, but the uneven heights of the shops on both sides casting shadows proclaimed it a high-tech place.
Numerous men and women in different outfits walked along the street, some armbands contained a bronze ring embedded with one star, some a silver ring with five stars, and even a tall man who silently passed by with a diamond-glinting armband.
At the end of this street was a newly refreshing square platform with several large venues faintly visible.
Is this the Special Training Base?
Are those middle-aged men with full beards really part of it?
Is that uncle with slightly white hair actually a student!?
Why do those displayed fighting skills completely defy the laws of physics?
Kicking out an Air Cannon with a leg!?
Mu Fan widened his eyes as he watched a fighter twenty meters away kick a rock into fragments through the air.
This…
He hadn’t entered the wrong area, had he?
