“Hey, Song Jian, you sure took your rime!” Zhao Yu, while intently looking ar a passing girl’s hips, greeted Song Jian.
“Is there a reason for the early call? What fun place have you discovered this time?”‘ Song Jian asked.
Zhao Yu discovered that ever since he had become friends with Song Jian, whenever he found something exciting in Coastal City, he would immediately invite Song Jian to it.
“This time I’ve found a hub of beautiful girls, all sorts of them in one place. I promise you’ll feast your eyes. Come on, follow me!” Saying this, Zhao Yu directly led Song Jian towards a tall building next to the Dongting Supermarket.
“A hub of beauties? What sort of place is that?” Song Jian curiously asked. “You’ll see when we get there!11 Zhao Yu answered, with a mysterious smile. Zhao Yu hailed a taxi around the tall building next to Dongting Supermarket and gave an address. The taxi drove off toward the eastern part of Coastal City. The place Zhao Yu mentioned was a landmark building on Wanghai Street, where the rich people of Coastal City spent their money. Song Jian seldom came over.
“Black Leopard Freestyle Boxing Gym?” Song Jian looked up at the sign on a three-story building, reading the name out loud, puzzled, “This is the hub of beauties you mentioned?”
“Yes, exactly. Just follow me and keep quiet. I’ve got two trial vouchers. We can get in and get a taste for two hours.” Zhao Yu waved two print vouchers, handed Song Jian one.
On looking, half of the voucher had a picture of a woman dressed in tight camouflage clothing, the picture in places nor meant for kids to see, and the propaganda language was ambiguous and enticing.
“You’re sold by this sort of advertisement?” Song Jian asked, somewhat speechless.
“Let’s go up and see for ourselves. It’s free anyway!” Zhao Yu urged, pushing Song Jian towards the fitness center.
The fitness club was well furnished; the whole first floor was like a five-star hotel lobby, with a relaxation area on the left with several groups of sofas and coffee tables. On the right side, there was the promotion area that displayed several trophies and photos.
A large service desk stood directly opposite the main entrance, behind which two pretty girls, in their late teens, one with a ponyrail, the other with a bob haircut, greeted Zhao Yu and Song Jian on their entrance: “Welcome to Black Leopard Gym.”
“Sweet voice.” Zhao Yu leaned over and gently nudged Song Jian with his elbow and wore a mischievous grin, “We are here for a trial. What all does your gym offer?” Zhao Yu waved the trial voucher in his hand and asked.
“Please head upstairs along the staircase on the right, someone will greet you there.” The ponytailed girl replied with a sweet smile, pointing towards a staircase.
Apparently, Zhao Yu didn’t want to leave so soon and appeared ready to chat with the two girls a bit longer, but Song Jian directly dragged him towards the stairs.
“Wait, I haven’t gotten their WeChat yet.” Zhao Yu complained quietly.
“With your greasy look, they wouldn’t give you their contact information.” Song Jian shot a glance and replied sarcastically.
“You just don’t understand. As the old saying goes ‘a persistent lover scares an independent woman,’ you should communicate more with beauties…” Zhao Yu chattered on.
“You’re so awesome, how come you still don’t have a girlfriend?” Song Jian questioned curiously.
Zhao Yu suddenly fell silent, stared at Song Jian s face, and after a few moments, uttered, “Man, that hurt!”
The two followed the stairs to the second floor, walked down the corridor for around five or six meters, and stopped at a glass door. Inside the glass door was a hall that looked like a large square. Along the walls stood various training equipment. In the center of the hall was a standard fighting ring where a man and a woman were sparring.
“Hey, I told you this is a hub of beautiful girls, look at all the girls!” Zhao Yu whispered excitedly.
Song Jian looked around and found more than a dozen people working out in the gym, the majority of them being women, all in good shape and quite attractive.
The second floor was nicely decorated and had good soundproofing. Only muted sounds could be heard from the outside of the door, if you stepped back a couple of feet, you wouldn’t hear anything.
A young woman closest to the glass door noticed Song Jian and Zhao Yu. She pressed a button on the controller next to rhe door.
The glass door opened up, and the woman stepped out, politely asking, “Hello, how may 1 assist you?”
“We are here to try out the facilities at the Black Leopard Gym.” Zhao Yu said, handing over a trial voucher after checking her out from top to bottom.
Song Jian also handed over his voucher for trial sessions. The woman looked at the vouchers and said: “Sure, you can enjoy any facilities in our gym for two hours. If you are satisfied with our services, you can become a member.” Having said that, the woman pressed the controller next to the glass door, opened it up, and ushered the two men into the gym.
They were there for the first time and didn’t bring any workout clothing, so they couldn’t use many of the facilities. They decided to walk around and observe things. Inside the gym, Zhao Yu gave Song Jian a look and went straight to the treadmill where three or four girls were running slowly.
Song Jian looked left and right before being attracted to the two people fighting in the wrestling ring at the center. He walked over to get a closer look. The man on the left of the ring was over l.S meters tall with a robust build. Wearing sports shorts and boxing gloves, he emanated power with every punch thrown. His opponent was much shorter and petite, without any significant muscles showing on her body.
After watching for a while. Song Jian was surprised to find that the woman in the ring was dominating the male opponent.
“She’s one of our free boxing trainers. She’s ranked in national competitions.” The woman who had greeted them earlier walked over to Song Jian and whispered.
“A freestyle boxing trainer? Are you referring to the woman in the ring?” Following her gaze, Song Jian found that she was indeed referring to the woman in the ring.
“Yes, she’s quite powerful.”
At this moment, the thought of the Attribute Fruit he had eaten in the game crossed Song Jian’s mind. He realized that his agility attribute had improved by one point. Although he was back in the real world and there wasn’t an interface to indicate his attributes, he could still feel the improvement.
“If attributes and skills from the game are reflected in the real world, I wonder if training in the real world can enhance my game attributes.” Thinking this, Song Jian suddenly had a lightbulb moment.
