It was a large room, almost 100 square meters, with one rack of gym equipment on the smooth wooden floor.

Treadmills, elliptical machines, rowing machines, seated chest presses, seated pulldowns, leg tuckers, barbells, squats, yoga mats, yoga balls, sandbags...... All sorts of them, filling the room.

It looked like a small gym, but surprisingly, the room was not bustling with customers like other gyms, but empty, except for a man in his thirties who was doing squats with dumbbells in front of the squat.

It may be because of regular exercise, the muscles on the man's body have begun to take shape, although it is not a muscle knot, but it is also distinct, even the small belly that was originally sitting in front of the computer for a long time has now been retracted and turned into a neat two-row square abdominal muscle.

He had clearly been working out for a long time, his tight-fitting tracksuit was already soaked with sweat, his hair was soaked, and beads of sweat were dripping down his chin and a small trail of water on the wooden floor below.

……

After finishing the last set of squats, Shen Ming put the barbell back on the squat machine, moved his sore shoulders and wrists, twisted his waist, did a set of muscle recovery exercises, and then walked out of the room.

Turning off the lights and doors, he went to the hall, took off his soaked clothes, went up the stairs, and then went into the bathroom, twisted the faucet in the shower room, and the water squirted out of the showerhead, and the water turned from cold to warm, hitting his bare skin.

Since the release of the Red Star brand dream helmet and the launch of virtual reality games, Shen Ming has been worried about his physical fitness.

In the end, after losing to the professional league in several sports competitions of "Virtual Stadium", he went to the nearest gym in the community to get a card, and signed up for a personal training class, and began to exercise.

It's just that the business of this gym is getting better day by day, and you can still grab the equipment position during the day, but once it is night, especially after dinner, the gym is crowded with people, and the water is impassable, and every piece of equipment is full of people, and it is not the turn to exercise once a day.

In order to make a fortune, the coach of the private training class has recruited students in large quantities and started to teach in large classes, which has fundamentally lost the original intention of private training, and the quality of teaching has also plummeted.

Although several gyms in the surrounding area began to renovate and prepare for opening, Shen Ming's temper couldn't bear it anymore, so he directly withdrew the card and the course.

Then I spent a lot of money to buy a renovated single-family villa in the community, and opened up the two rooms on the first floor to make a private gym, and hired professional fitness coaches to teach and explain exercises one-on-one every week.

Coupled with a strict fitness diet, his physical fitness has improved significantly over the past few months, and his performance in Virtual Stadium has also improved significantly, and several sports have been promoted from amateur to professional.

That's his dignity as a hardcore gamer, and he doesn't allow himself to act like a fish in any game! Even though it's a sports game, it's essentially sports.

Moreover, since he was invited to participate in the new game test event organized by Tianang Company, and then officially released the game "Shameful Adventure" in the virtual reality world, his training intensity has reached a higher level, even his favorite video games are not played, in addition to eating and sleeping to solve personal hygiene, most of his time is spent on exercising, recovering his body, and learning sanda skills from professional sanda coaches.

After taking a bath, Shen Ming dried his body, put on a set of loose sleep, and returned to the bedroom.

Lying down on the bed, the stars of the Red Star brand dream helmet on the bedside table were dotted blue, and he put it on his head, and he fell asleep again.

……

Waking up from the bed in the virtual reality world, Shen Ming stood up directly, and then opened his mouth to summon the holographic panel.

It's just that instead of clicking on any of the virtual reality game icons to light up the aperture in front of the bed, he made a door appear on the wall on the other side.

He walked straight through the door and into another room.

This room is very simple, surrounded by emptiness, only an ordinary desk in the middle, and a water-like [Activated Water Sofa].

He sat down on the couch, letting it morph, the soft water massaging his body, and then resting his hands on the desk.

It's just that this is not a computer room, but a study room that is rarely bought and used by very few people after purchase, so there are no computers emerging from the desk.

Shen Ming opened a drawer on the desk, and then took out a book the size of half an A4 paper and an ordinary pen from it.

Probably because there is no Internet connection, the study room currently provides very few functions, and it does not provide any books, even old books and old books that have long been free of copyright issues.

It now offers all kinds of blank notebooks, all kinds of pens, and then nothing else, except for all kinds of desks, chairs, bookshelves, and other furniture.

Shen Ming opened the notebook, the pages in the notebook were all pure white, without any horizontal bar planning, but most of the pure white pages were full of words, as well as rough sketches of various terrains and various items.

Shen Ming flipped through most of the already filled notes and turned to a blank page at the back.

Then, he reached out and clicked a few times on the holographic screen floating not far in front of him.

Soon, a video began to play on the holographic screen, and the video was a large section of battle, all kinds of explosions, all kinds of flames, and the camera flashed and flew quickly, which was dizzying.

Shen Ming's face was serious, his eyes were blazing, he kept dragging the progress bar of the video, pausing from time to time, going backwards from time to time, slowing down from time to time, zooming in from time to time, and putting his face on the screen from time to time, wanting to see it more clearly......

While watching the video, he also wrote something on the blank page of his notebook, and even paused the video, drew some of the things in the video against each other, and wrote down one note after another around it.

As if he was working, he kept turning on and off videos, kept fast forward and slow down, kept writing and painting in his notebook, his eyes were serious, and his movements were meticulous.

Finally, after more than two hours of busyness, Shen Ming let out a sigh of relief, put down the pen, and turned off the holographic screen.

Then, leaning back, he half-lay down on a couch made of water, and closed his eyes.

He didn't close it for long, and after about three minutes, he opened his eyes suddenly, sat up straight, opened the notebook that had been written by him, and began to flip through it.

He turned the pages unhurriedly, but he read them very carefully, sometimes frowning, sometimes touching his chin, sometimes smearing some of the strokes, and adding some more.

After looking through the notebook for more than an hour, and seeing the whole notebook from beginning to end, he opened the drawer, put the notebook and pen inside, and then stood up.

"Panel." His voice was very serious.

The pale blue panel jumped out, and he tapped his finger on it as he walked forward.

Back in the bedroom, the circle of light in front of the bed lit up, and what appeared inside was a mountain-like boulder floating in the air, and on the boulder was a series of pavilions.

Shen Ming's eyes were firm, and his voice murmured: "Xiaorui, I promise, this time, I will definitely rescue you!" ”

Then, he stepped out and stepped into the aperture.
