Chapter 605 - 468: Push Point Update! Ehehe... (4K)
"Speaking of which, not only the two Extraordinary Level Treasure Chests opened earlier, but it seems there’s quite a backlog of items in my inventory, and I haven’t gotten around to organizing them."
Li Zheng opened the door of the training room and kicked the All-Knowing Training Device inside with one swift move.
"Later, I’ll find some time to take them out one by one; any blueprints I can use will be arranged for, and the ones I can’t will be sold or placed in the legion’s warehouse."
But for now, it’s obviously time to experience the training room built with Extraordinary Level modification blueprints and see what makes it unique.
When this training room was constructed, Li Zheng opted for the largest size, 250 square meters, equivalent to an area of 50x50 meters.
The height was also fully considered for Li Zheng’s potential training needs, directly connecting the second floor with the third.
The visual impression this entire training room gives is only two words—spacious!
While players are generally still living in residences ranging from nine to ninety square meters, Li Zheng’s single training room alone is 250 square meters, making the word ’spacious’ definitely apt.
During its construction, some biomimetic organization, ordinary fiber, and beast hide materials were consumed, which have now transformed into a small arena, set in the center of the training room.
Above the arena, eight spotlights shine down from different angles, making that section of the room brighter than other areas.
Apart from the arena and overhead lighting fixtures, the training room was bare, with not a single piece of extra equipment.
"Really barebones, can it even live up to the Extraordinary Level?"
Li Zheng furrowed his brows slightly, but he wasn’t very dismissive; the more bare it is, the more likely the room’s functions might surprise him?
He bent down to straighten up the iron ball-like ’All-Knowing Training Device’, found an inconspicuous indentation on it, and gently pressed it with his finger.
’Sss~’
A transparent virtual screen appeared out of thin air, displaying very simple information—just "Strength," "Speed," and "Combat Skill Type."
The first two fields were empty, requiring Li Zheng to input suitable numbers based on his needs.
The third field featured a highlighted triangular icon, indicating that this icon could be clicked.
After about thirty seconds of study, Li Zheng suddenly felt a bit of worry for the future of the Matrix and even the Outer City.
"What the heck... it seriously doesn’t match the description given in the info! Is this false advertising?"
Actually, it’s not exactly a mismatch; it just didn’t meet Li Zheng’s expectations.
The full name of this thing is the ’All-Knowing Training Device’. From the name, it seems to boast incredible capabilities, like it can do just about anything.
In reality, after Li Zheng clicked on that triangular icon, a slightly short dropdown menu appeared.
The options displayed included: Swordsmanship Mastery/Specialization, Swordsmanship Mastery/Specialization, Blunt Weapon Mastery/Specialization, Staff Mastery/Specialization, Exotic Weaponry Mastery/Specialization, and Dark Weapon Mastery/Specialization.
Too simplistic, without detailed categorization.
To say nothing else, just the Exotic Weaponry Mastery likely includes axes, whips, halberds, crutches, and other uncommon weapons, Li Zheng estimated.
Of course, he hasn’t tested it yet; it’s just a guess.
Possibly... there are even fewer types included.
"I’ll just pick one to try out."
Randomly selecting Swordsmanship Mastery, he then clicked on the Strength field, which displayed a line of small text [Please enter a number between 100-1000!].
There was no unit displayed, and he didn’t know what standard the input number corresponded to; Li Zheng thought for a moment and entered the minimum value ’100’.
The Speed field was similar to the Strength field, except the input range was 40-360.
Likewise, he chose the minimum value and finally confirmed.
The next moment, the All-Knowing Training Device suddenly emitted a leaking noise, split open from the middle, and two long and two short spring-like flexible metals extended from it.
The two long supports struck the ground, and the two short ones spread like arms to the sides, tapping on two semi-circular spheres, from which a long and a short bizarre sword-like weapon popped out.
The design of these two weapons seemed to merge all the sword-like weapon characteristics Li Zheng knew, looking very strange and awkward.
In theory, if such weapons were used in actual combat, they would completely violate principles like ergonomics and mechanics.
If someone proposed crafting such weapons to a master weaponsmith, the latter might throw them out in anger!
With a clang, the two bizarre blades connected to the shorter flexible metal, merging seamlessly, with hardly any visible junction.
[Please issue a command by voice, ’Start/Stop’.]
The words appeared on the overhead virtual screen, and it must be said, it was quite user-friendly.
Seeing this, Li Zheng’s interest was piqued; he was very curious about why this training device’s shape had to be made so peculiarly.
Given the technological level within the Matrix, they should have been able to make it more refined.
Raising his hand, he summoned a practice long whip, and Li Zheng issued the command: "Start!"
The next second, he swung open a robust lash.
Such a large whipping movement made Mirel, standing nearby, furrow her brows and express disdain.
This clumsy appearance was obvious to anyone, even to amateurs, that Li Zheng wasn’t well-practiced.
Whip crack!
The long whip sounded crisp, but it failed to hit the training device.
The soft ’legs’ swayed twice and then suddenly found an angle, springing out entirely, light and agile like a monkey.
