Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Mike was so bored that he decided to go to the door to have a look. After all, staying in the shop all the time was a little annoying.
The pulldown machine at the door lay there quietly. Mike then started to play with the pulldown machine at the door, which was extremely difficult for ordinary people to pull.
When he was tired of playing with it, he let go and went back to the gym.
But Mike didn’t expect that this scene would be observed by someone.
On the other side, Flocke entered the gym.
When the servant at the door saw that a customer had come to the door, he immediately welcomed him warmly.
“Welcome to Mike’s gym. Is there anything I can help you with?”
Surprisingly, although the style of the shop was strange, the service after entering the shop was especially formal.
When Flocke heard the servant’s question, he did not know how to react at all. He muttered.
“I want to become stronger!”
The servant burst into laughter. Those who came here all wanted to become stronger. He did not expect this to be a stranger, so he changed his words.
“Then, please come this way. Let me introduce the equipment one by one.”
Mike did not wait at the gym every day. Ever since he took in this henchman, Babacino, Mike had asked some of his subordinates to come and explain to him how to use the equipment on the first floor of the gym. After the training, they were sent to their posts to serve the guests at all times. It could be said that they were very professional.
After hearing that they were going to introduce the equipment in the gym to him, Flocke followed the servant to the equipment area.
He had never seen this strange-looking thing before.
The servant immediately said, “This is a treadmill. You can step on it. Yes, this is the track. Ah, no, no, no, you can’t run yet.”
Seeing that Flocke couldn’t wait to step on it and start running, the servant immediately stopped him.
“It’s not used like this. You have to press the start button to make the machine work, and you can only run on it. You can’t do it by yourself.”
Hearing the servant’s explanation, Flocke’s face couldn’t help but turn red. It was actually used like this. What did he just do silently? He was really stupid.
However, when Flocke looked at the servant’s expression, there was no hint of mockery. This made him feel much more at ease.
So, Flocke said, “Then, you can use it by pressing the button, right?”
The servant nodded.
“Yes, but there are many adjustment buttons on it. You don’t know how to use the button, so you have to let me do it. You only need to pay 500 gold coins.”
However, he didn’t expect that when Flocke heard 500 gold coins, he was so scared that he immediately moved his feet away from the treadmill.
Five hundred gold coins? Did he hear it incorrectly?
“I’m sorry, you mean 500 gold coins, right?”
The servant smiled and nodded.
“Yes, 500 gold coins. This is the amount that our gym owner personally set. It’s the same for everyone.”
Flocke slapped his head. He was about to lose his mind. If what the servant said was right, based on his entire fortune, Flocke only had 600 gold coins.
To think that he would use up almost all of his fortune while training here!
Flocke hesitated. Was it truly worth 500 gold coins? Was it worth it?
However, when he thought of the words of the staff in the guild and the miserable state he was in when he failed to complete the mission even though he had spent a lot of money on the task…
Flocke had no choice but to make up his mind!
“Be bold and believe in yourself!”
Thus, he gritted his teeth and took out a ring on his hand. This was the storage ring he had gotten from an alchemist. It contained all of his belongings.
When the servant saw Flocke’s ring, he brought him to the counter and processed his identity information.
Soon, they returned to the equipment area. In just a short while, two people had already paid their fees and were already training.
Looking at them running on it, Flocke was shocked!
“They are running, right? Why are they running on the same spot? Am I seeing things? What is this principle? Is it magic?”
Hearing Flocke’s words, the servant smiled and explained.
“It’s not magic. I can’t explain the principle either. This is something that our great shop owner created. But as long as you go up and try it, you’ll be able to understand everything.”
Thus, Flocke restrained his surprise. After the servant had prepared everything, he also imitated the actions of others and started running.
This unique feeling made him want to tear down the treadmill to see if a person was dragging him inside. Otherwise, there was no way to explain, how did he do all this without any magic?
But soon, Flocke discovered that not only was the feeling extraordinary, the effect was also unique.
More than half an hour passed, as he trained, Flocke’s body began to sweat a little.
However, this was nothing. Compared to going out on an adventure, it was simply too easy.
Just as he thought that this was the final effect, an inexplicable power seemed to fall from the sky, and his muscles suddenly became exceptionally strong.
Noticing the miraculous change in himself, Flocke immediately wrote down a check.
This check almost made him laugh.
“Oh my god, it’s true! I don’t have a hundred flowers with my 500 gold coins! This gym is truly amazing!”
“But I don’t know how strong I am now.”
While Flocke was happy, he immediately wanted to find a place to test himself. If it was in the wild, he could just find a big rock. However, he really didn’t know what he could prove in this gym.
Therefore, he went to the bar counter and asked the staff member if there was anything that he could test with?
The staff was already used to such a situation. He pointed at the machine at the door.
“There’s a pulldown machine at the door. Try pulling the handle at the bottom. An ordinary person can pull it up to 3 centimeters. Every additional centimeter is the performance of your strength that surpasses the sum of your previous strength.”
Hearing the staff’s words, Flocke immediately thought of the black thing with the giant lever that he saw when he entered the door.
When Flocke was at the door, he was curious since he had pulled it before, but he could only reach 2 centimeters.
He remembered that he had become stronger, so he immediately ran to the door.
After a few simple warm-ups, he was about to make his move.
Three minutes later, as expected, he could only pull it to 2 centimeters earlier, but now, he could pull it to 4 centimeters.
If he didn’t pull a centimeter, he would not be able to surpass the sum of his previous efforts. Flocke didn’t forget this sentence, which meant that he had already surpassed the previous two of him.
This was simply unbelievable!
“Oh god! Is this really true?”
He had only trained in the gym for half an hour, but he had already achieved such a result! Flocke couldn’t believe his eyes!
Flocke pinched his flesh until he cried out in pain before he could believe all of this. However, he realized something else.
He had risked his life for so many years. He did not know how many missions he had to take to achieve such a level of improvement, but the gym had easily done it!
An indignant feeling arose spontaneously, but it was indeed infuriating to compare people. Therefore, after the anger subsided, he associated it with the owner of the gym. How smart must he be to be able to make these magical machines? As a result, Flocke immediately sighed.
“The owner who can make these things is truly smarter than anyone in this world!”
