Chapter 171: Chapter 160: Game Training Camp, Officially Open to the Public!

The resolution and containment methods used for the "Blood Demon incident" fundamentally differed from those of the past, so much so that it could be considered a classic approach. Hence, its inclusion in the training manual was not surprising.

But what happened next was even more shocking.

As they approached the great halo, the Game Training Camp introduced a device called the "Transmission Watch" into everyone’s minds.

After donning this watch, anyone could directly transport from the Taishan area to the training camp as a "Guest"!

The news was simply astonishing!

[Transmission Watch, price: 10 hours of training time.]

[Function: Allows effective transportation between the real world and the Game Training Camp. Time on the watch will be deducted when a Guest uses the various functions of the training camp.]

[Based on your consumption level in the training camp, 5 Transmission Watches are gifted for free.]

Purchasing this item meant that accessing the Game Training Camp would become extremely easy.

With a single press of a button, you could transport from Taishan’s anchor point directly into this training camp.

No longer would you need to risk life and limb climbing the 2390 steps of the Stairway to Heaven.

"I knew it, setting up the supermarket so luxuriously, there had to be a grand opening special. Is this for me to recruit guests?" Lu Tianming mused.

This also showed that the Game was a haughty entity; despite wanting to attract more guests, it never gave any explicit instructions.

Instead, it lured people in through certain enticements.

"Do you know why it does this?" Lu Tianming turned and asked.

"No clue."

"It’s probably related to its rules; it most likely has no deceit-related rules, everything is told in honesty. The lack of definite instructions allows it to maintain a certain flexibility."

"That’s why many things are left vague; there’s no explicit statement of intent to cooperate with humanity because once said, it would be compelled to act that way and there could be loopholes at a rule level."

Lu Tianming quickly put his mind to work and happily reported the news to the Black-clothed Guard’s higher-ups, "Gentlemen, great news. How much funding are you willing to allocate for spending in this grand supermarket?"

"The Game’s ambition isn’t small, now it’s willing to let people in. I just received 5 Transmission Watches, any individual who wears one can transport in..."

"Yes, you heard right, any individual. Who will come first, who will come later?"

The Game Training Camp was officially open to the public!

In a very simple way—transportation!

The news was sensational!

The anxious number 24 scientist was shocked, as was the stunned number 1 elder; then there was number 13, always thinking about international competition, and the reticent number 28 lady...

Every person reacted differently.

During the Black-clothed Guard meeting, a fervent discussion broke out.

This was a matter that could change the world order; if the Game Training Camp truly opened to the public, it would bring about a huge change to human history.

"Training speeds of 10 times!"

"Now it might be even higher, possibly 15-20 times the training speed!"

Devices that could synthesize Strange Objects, like the magical cubic instrument.

The Sea of Ether, the Weird Forest, and other risk-free training locations.

Highly confidential meeting rooms that need not fear the eavesdropping of "Demon Gods"...

And various healing facilities, trade centers...

Each of these held immense allure for humanity.

What were the costs of all this?

The first was paying a portion of funds (Strange Objects); secondly, human civilization’s history might be further anchored by the Game.

Naturally, its ascent would also accelerate.

"They must be having a heated discussion," number 12 said with schadenfreude, a smile creeping up. "About the future of civilization, potential dangers, risks, and so on—I can guess what they’re discussing."

"But in the end, they’ll reach a consensus. Now that the Game is allowing more guests, further investigation must continue. We need to be wary of it, but also make rational use of it."

"Where’s Zhao? Where’s Zhao?" the Glutton Xu Zhijun murmured, still wondering where "Old Zhao" had gone.

Suddenly, Chen Xinyi said, "I’m thinking about something; if those shameless countries seized the Saints first, would the Space Gate open elsewhere?"

"It really might," Li Qingshan agreed with a nod. "Having it open here is a good thing for us."

"What would happen if the Game ascended?"

"I don’t know, most Demon Gods are clearly malevolent. But it remains enigmatic."

Number 12 took over the conversation, "I think it might not completely ascend."

"Its body is too vast, practically another Parallel World. If it were to ascend, our world could be destroyed, so to prevent world annihilation, it might stop after ascending to a certain extent."

"What’s its purpose?" Chen Xinyi asked, her imagination running wild. "Is it not to eat humans?"

"No, what nourishment is there in eating humans... Have you ever seen a Chess Player eat their own pieces?"

"I think, being a top-level Chess Player, its goals may lie in another world we’re not aware of. After all, there isn’t just one Human World."

...

After a round of discussion, Lu Tianming exchanged an Immortal Bean for 5 additional Transmission Watches.

With 10 Transmission Watches in hand, he entered the Dimensional Space Gate.

Milky halos intertwined, swirling around him.

A line of text popped up in his mind.

"Please confirm your destination."

"Please note, teleport to a spacious area. If your body overlaps with surrounding materials, unpredictable accidents may occur."

Old Lu felt a twinge of nervousness mixed with a bit of excitement.

In his mind, a three-dimensional image appeared, like a satellite map, from a God’s-eye view, overlooking the land.

In fact, the area he could teleport to was not too extensive,

being only around the Saint statue, with a radius of two hundred meters.

Nearby laid an ancient building called "Taishan Altar," which looked like a circular tower and was one of the traditional branch bases of the Black-clothed Guard.

Inside there were 2200 tombstones and stone inscriptions, recording the long history of Great Xia Country.

The famous "Taishan Stone" was placed there.

This base was isolated from the world, with no visitors.

Usually, tourists would visit the main peak instead and wouldn’t venture near the Black-clothed Guard’s area.

"I’m starting," he reported through his headset.

Then, he chose an unoccupied spot and teleported there.

In that instant, his strength seemed to be drained from his body as time condensed into a tiny point.

His mind went blank suddenly, as if he had been viciously pushed out of an airplane, plummeting from the high sky.

His soul nearly left his body!

As Lu Tianming slowly recovered from his daze,

he realized he had already been teleported to the real world.

Back?!

He was back!

A few staff members stood around, their eyes bulging, intently staring at this newcomer.

"Report, an additional person has appeared in Taishan Altar’s B2 area, suspected to be the target subject."

"Pale complexion, mental state... questionable, seems like he hasn’t shaved for quite a while."

After a while, Old Man Number 1 hurried over, laughing heartily, "You’re back! Congratulations!"

"This business trip took two whole months."

Behind him was Number 24, the bespectacled man who was incredibly passionate, rushing over at the first chance. He initially wanted to ask about "the watch."

But on second thought, he deemed it inappropriate, considering the exhausted state of the person...

Therefore, Comrade Number 24 twisted and turned on the spot, anxious and eager to get the Transmission Watches immediately.

Number 1 said, "Put him on a wheelchair, don’t panic, take him to the medical room to check."

"Yes."

Several Black-clothed Guard members clumsily lifted Number 12 onto a wheelchair and pushed him into the medical room.

As the branch of the Black-clothed Guard and with an international conference being held recently, the facilities at Taishan Altar were quite complete.

Below ground level was a well-equipped medical room.

Number 12 sat on the wheelchair, not completely immobile, but in a state of extreme weakness, like he had just run a marathon, almost paralyzed.

He gulped down some water, drenched in sweat, and said, "I strongly suspect that the ’Game’ from Grandet is deliberately extracting my personal strength, making the teleportation so disgusting. Now I dare not teleport rashly."

"Little Jin, the watch is in the pocket on the right side, stop squirming; it’s making me sick. Just take it and study it."

Scientist Number 24, with a refined name like Jin Bowen, was just 30 years old.

For research workers, early fame was key, true geniuses became well-known young, and it was rare to see late bloomers.

Of course, people preferred to call him Number 24, for the code name was safer than a real name.

Comrade Jin took a deep breath and excitedly extracted the 10 Transmission Watches, examining them closely.

However, his excitement soon turned to disappointment—the watch was not exactly high-tech.

Old Man Number 1 personally checked Number 12’s condition: "Brain waves normal, ether value normal, no soul damage, just a bit weak. A few days’ rest should do."

Number 24 casually remarked, "The ’Game’ is preventing us from exploiting bugs. This kind of teleportation must consume a tiny bit of its energy, and it’s a free service."

"But if we exploited the free teleportation back and forth billions of times, it would increase its consumption. Now, with this setup, it gives a little bit of its strength and we give a little bit of ours, so we can’t teleport back and forth indefinitely. Perhaps after a few more teleports, the human body might die from weakness."

"Indeed, at the Demon God Level, not a single loophole," Number 24 stroked his glasses, constantly sighing, "Can’t freeload at all."

"But why doesn’t it ask us to pay a toll for teleporting?" asked Old Man Number 1 from the side.
