Chapter 1517: Morning Exercise
Ning woke up to a loud alarm on the side of his bed that he hadn't even realized was there. The small metal plate was quite inconspicuous to Ning's perception, as he hadn't come into contact with something that looked like it and was also a tech of some sort.
He tapped around the thing until it turned off.
Ning wanted to learn more about the technology, but it was morning and he had some exercise to do. He had been added to the system as a Cadet, so he had to complete his tasks.
Ning walked out into the hallway and followed a group of other cadets who were also making their way to the training ground on one of the lower floors.
Nobody greeted Ning or even acknowledged his presence. His arrival was met with indifference as everyone seemed to have their own small group to talk with.
A higher-ranking officer arrived and began the morning exercises.
The morning exercises were more akin to gym workouts, with the people doing their best to get faster, stronger, and improve their stamina.
To Ning, the exercises were very simple, and he easily completed them all without breaking a sweat. Perhaps that had been a little too surprising as a few people came to ask him how he was doing that.
Ning had no explanation except that he simply could. Those people still stayed with Ning, training with him, and using him as motivation.
After a while, their exercises were finally over.
"Go have your breakfast and head to your duties," the officer said and left.
Ning walked to the cafeteria with the group, somewhat establishing his presence among the cadets. The food in the cafeteria was simple, but tasty and had a lot of variety.
That surprised Ning a bit as he hadn't expected the food in this place to have variety. He fully expected the food here to be simple slops of something with no flavor.
Lost in the thought, Ning finally remembered that he was supposed to look at what his duties
were.
"Shit!" he thought, and quickly looked through his information.
There was the standard information about his name, age, and place of origin which the System had set as quite standard. He was Ning Ruogong, age 22, from the City 3.
One could argue he should have been older in age, but he looked young enough to pass for a 22-year-old. He doubted people would question it anyway.
He found out about his financial status. He owned 12,800 Jiubels, but he had no concept of this currency, so he wasn't sure just how rich he was.
Could he purchase 500 grams of Spark?
Thankfully, there was a transaction history that Ning got to open up after focusing on it for a second. There were many purchases he had made throughout his lifetime, but the one that was real was the very first one.
He had purchased 5 grams of Spark for 200 Jiubels. So while he didn't have enough for 500 grams, he did have enough for 250 grams of Spark.
Ning looked through the rest of the transactions to get a slightly better understanding of the currency. It appeared that to be rich, he needed hundreds of thousands of Jiubels.
"Let's forget about that for now," Ning thought and focused his attention on his duties that were listed at the very top, given to him by the military.
For today, his duty was to replace the elevator operator on elevator 12 and work there from 9
to 5.
It was a boring job from what Ning could read, but it was something given by the military, so he couldn't refuse. He had chosen this life, so now he had to live it.
