Chapter 49: Chapter 45: Learning Martial Arts? Really Unnecessary. (Requesting monthly ticket)

Reality is a boring game.

Time is a cruel killer.

Looking at Xu Jinying’s haggard face, Chen Yun faintly saw his foreseeable future and the future of the vast majority of Earth online ordinary players, who essentially had no future at all.

Earth online is a crappy game.

Ordinary players toil for money.

Even the players who spend a lot of money only have a fleeting hundred years of life in this game.

No matter how affluent their material life, they are merely stray dogs.

The profession of humanity had been added to the game only a few million years ago.

For most human individuals, after a hundred years, all that remains is a handful of ash, a patch of soil.

But Chen Yun understood that he had already embarked on a completely different path.

As years passed, what they left for others was fading away.

But for Chen Yun, it might just be a ripple on the long road of life.

He, who evolved endlessly, now possessed the game’s cheat code for Earth online.

He was deeply aware at this moment.

He had already... changed.

Contemplating.

Chen Yun then made some small talk with Xu Jinying.

Xu Jinying, feeling emotional and envious, talked about Chen Yun’s current physical condition.

Although he didn’t know how much weight was in the sack Chen Yun was carrying, he knew he had been lapped by Chen Yun a whole two rounds.

The gap was quite significant.

The current Chen Yun not only lived more like a human than he did, but his physical condition was also superior.

During their conversation, he was full of sighs.

Chen Yun also caught up with this old friend for a while.

During their talk, he specifically didn’t mention how different he was now, focusing more on chatting with Xu Jinying about their old days in the factory.

After about ten minutes.

Xu Jinying said he was going to a hotel to meet and hang out with some friends and asked if Chen Yun wanted to join his birthday party.

Regarding this.

Chen Yun carefully chose his words to politely decline.

Firstly, he wasn’t that close; he barely knew Xu Jinying’s friends, and going there would just be awkward.

Secondly...

After this morning’s workout, he had noticed some deficiencies.

Chen Yun felt that his workout efficiency was somewhat lacking.

Besides increasing the weight to boost the intensity, he could also try learning some potentially more professional workout techniques.

The idea of not going to the gym was dismissed; he planned to visit a gym in the afternoon.

Not to mention whether or not he should get a membership there for training.

Chen Yun mainly wanted to try and see if he could freeload on a variety of workout techniques using the spiritual power-infused Transparent World 2.0.

··························

March 13, 1 p.m.

The still sunny sky made the weather forecast change today’s weather to cloudy with clearing.

After finishing his morning workout, Chen Yun played some casual brain games that didn’t require much operation as a way to unwind a bit.

Games like Plants vs. Zombies, Happy Match, and Angry Birds.

Compared to games like CSGO, his dominance wasn’t as monstrous in these games, but they still offered some fun.

Until 1 p.m.

Chen Yun tidied himself up a bit.

Then he hopped on his electric bike and headed towards a nearby gym.

The gym was about a little over five kilometers from his home, making it the closest gym to his place.

He vaguely remembered that this gym was quite large, as he had once received a promotional flyer from it.

Besides various equipment.

Outside their venue, there were also a few areas specifically for playing badminton and shot put, and they also offered coaching in these areas.

Following the guidance of the navigation.

It didn’t take Chen Yun long to arrive at the place.

Before even entering.

He saw a poster at the entrance of the gym.

It read, "Sandboxing classes now available, sign up now to enjoy a 12% discount."

Chen Yun glanced at the poster and lost interest.

He didn’t think sandboxing, or any kind of fighting technique for that matter, was necessary to learn.

Or rather,

he thought none of the human fighting techniques were necessary to learn. Just the other day, the martial arts used by the Juggling Team, reportedly two of the top contestants in the provincial combat competition, seemed to him nothing more than fancy tricks.

It wasn’t disdain; it was just the plain truth.

These fighting techniques were an accumulation of experiences in humanoid combat, forming a set of defensive and counterattack strategies.

Not that they were useless; they still had their merits.

But to him, they were essentially pointless.

After taking a glance and mastering the essence of the force exertion techniques and vulnerabilities, he could say they were utterly useless.

His extreme speed and strength, coupled with monstrous Perception Ability and terrifying body coordination control ability,

when combined, made him akin to a humanoid Gundam.

Chen Yun had already reached a stage where one against ten was manageable.

Fast enough, strong enough to see through and predict every move of the opponent, his fighting instinct focused solely on attacking vulnerabilities.

Teaching him martial arts was almost like teaching martial arts to Hulk or to Locust Day,

Honestly, not completely useless, but indeed somewhat redundant.

The only slightly valuable part of human fighting techniques was their focus on attacking human vulnerabilities.

On that note,

Chen Yun believed his instinct to target enemy weaknesses during battles was more than sufficient.

At worst,

reading a couple of medical books on human anatomy would be more useful to him than learning martial arts.

Unless the reality was like those in fantasy works with concepts of traditional Chinese martial arts, otherwise, he truly had no need to learn it.

In fact,

in this world, there weren’t such fancy things.

So far, Chen Yun had found himself to be the only extraordinary outlier.

Even if insisting on the efficacy of fighting techniques among people of equivalent levels, studying them as a precaution appeared somewhat absurd.

One must consider the limitations of these human-applicable fighting techniques.

For Chen Yun, whose various attributes far exceeded those of an average human, these techniques were somewhat mismatched in versions, serving at most as a mere reference.

Chen Yun needed to explore things more suited to himself.

And before that, what was more important was to keep training.

With this thought,

Chen Yun bypassed the poster and headed inside the gym.

Near the front desk, a casually dressed staff member immediately approached, smiling and started introducing him as he saw Chen Yun approaching.

The gist of his words was nothing more than a few typical phrases often heard at gyms:

"Shall I show you around a few sessions first?" "I can tell right away that you’re a great candidate for gaining muscle!" "You can start with a half-year membership to see how it goes..." ...

To this,

Chen Yun was noncommittal.

Following the staff member, he began touring the vast gym.

The enthusiastic staff member introduced him to various basic equipment, incessantly pitching membership sales throughout this process.

Meanwhile, Chen Yun quietly followed the staff member, engaging in some beginner-level equipment workouts,

while running his Transparent World 2.0 to sense the surrounding crowd at the gym.

It must be said.

This visit was indeed more useful than expected.

Just by touring around, he gained an in-depth understanding of the practices of fitness and exercise.

Different equipment and movements were aimed at strengthening different muscle groups.

Upon comparison,

Chen Yun realized his own training was somewhat limited and not comprehensive over his entire body.

Additionally,

He also mastered various exertion methods and techniques after just one glance.

It had to be said, this visit helped him plan a more structured approach for his future workouts.
