Chapter 19: Simple Equilibrium
The next day.
After a day of trimming and routine physical training, the first special training arrived as scheduled.
Balance training.
Just after lunch, Dr. Liu took him to a room where various levels were designed. The design of the levels was somewhat similar to the winning prize he saw on TV a few days ago. There are single-plank bridges, rotating springboards, high-altitude steps and other facilities. Once the balance is lost during the process, it will fall directly into the pool.
He also experienced similar training when he was a child. They needed to jump through the reefs in the water to the stronghold on the other side of the river, but if they fell into the water, they were not first responders, but piranhas and crocodile.
Balance training is a skill that everyone in the village must master. The environment outside the village is extremely harsh, and they often need to maintain a sense of balance while fighting various monsters.
“There was a reality show here, and we were able to use these props.”
Dr. Liu stood on the high platform at the finish line and introduced to the participants who had changed their faces, "In the next three hours, I hope everyone can pass at least five times, and the final test score will be evaluated at the rate of passing the test."
"Is this a bit too difficult?"
Qixi raised her hand and asked her own question. She thought that the balance test was just passing a single-plank bridge. Unexpectedly, Dr. Liu's team actually created such a professional facility.
She has watched many similar reality shows, and she can win big prizes as long as she reaches the finish line, and nine out of the ten challengers will fall into the water.
It’s quite happy to see others fall down, but it’s not happy at all when you put them on yourself.
"Because players will face complex combat situations in the game, we hope you can be mentally prepared through these training programs first."
In fact, the combat environment in the game is much more complex than these challenges.
Encountering a battle on a single-plank bridge, facing huge elite monsters on the edge of a cliff, as well as many bosses who need to climb onto their backs to fight...
"Please don't get me wrong. The purpose of this training is not to force you to adapt to various difficult combat environments. The construction of a sense of balance requires years of training to complete. There is no such thing as failure in all training, and you will not be eliminated because of this. The real purpose of our team is to hope that you can overcome your psychological tools and at least develop a mentality that is not afraid of falling into the water."
In the game settings, players can release their souls when they die, reborn at nearby safe points, or wait for a response clergy to come and rescue.
Death in the game is never terrible. What really needs to be overcome is the fear of heights or fear of being afraid to participate in the battle.
This mood is equally important for casual players, because some precious materials are often on the steep mountain roads. In various non-holographic role-playing games, players jump off cliffs and jump quickly. They often fall to death more than a dozen times in order to collect a material. Therefore, Liu Xiangnan needs to ensure that they can maintain the same mentality in at least the holographic games.
Because of this, when selecting participants, they conducted a questionnaire and learned in advance that everyone present did not suffer from acrophobia.
"Time is limited. If you have personal problems, you can communicate with me privately... Then, who would like to try it first?"
The participants looked at each other. Although the men wanted to stand up in front of the girls and show their strength, they were not sure of looking at various complex mechanisms.
Most of them are game experts and usually press the keyboard and touch the fingers. I have never encountered such scenes before.
If you fall into the water after you have fought your way, it would be a bit embarrassing.
"I'll do it."
Seeing that no one raised his hand, Gu Yun walked out of the crowd directly.
Compared with the truly harsh environment, this kind of facility is simply a pediatric department.
An old woman in her 180s in the village can pass this test with her eyes closed in a state of food poisoning.
"Oh? Mr. Gu Yun is very brave. We noticed that your grades in physical training are very good."
Seeing that someone actively responded to the call, Liu Xiangnan immediately carried out a wave of commercial flattery.
First of all, we must mobilize the enthusiasm of the participants. If no one volunteers, he can only let the coaching team demonstrate.
The real purpose of the sense of balance training class is not to make everyone a brave man fighting on the dragon's back, but to make them understand that it is not embarrassing to accidentally fall into the water.
It is obvious that these people have not yet established a good attitude.
"The timing begins!"
After the coaching team issued the order, Liu Xiangnan was ready to defend Gu Yun's fall into the water.
Balance training is difficult, especially when you don’t understand the rules at the beginning, just having good physical fitness is not enough...
"Okay, then what?"
ah?
Thirty seconds later, Liu Xiangnan looked at Gu Yun, who was strolling in front of him in shock, walking along the turbulent flow.
He didn't even have time to list all the key points that need to be noticed in his balance training.
The coaching team behind him also looked like a ghost - even if he had received professional training and had been familiar with the fitness coach here for several hours last night, the best result was only 1 minute and 27 seconds.
"Mr. Gu Yun, do you have completed similar training before?"
"That's right."
Gu Yun nodded uncertainly. Although the elder had proposed similar training, he had never seen such a simple one.
At first, he thought that Dr. Liu would ask him to carry a few tons of heavy objects to assist in his practice.
"No wonder, it's great. You've already passed the training. I hope you can share your experience with other participants."
"good."
Gu Yun nodded. He happened to talk to the male compatriots in this team about life and ideals, because An Ling said that they would need to communicate in the next few days to determine who might be pretending to be a monster.
After returning to the team, the male players rushed up like wolves and tigers and exchanged their experiences with him.
Although many girls are secretly giving up on Gu Yun's courageous performance, they are not worried at all. Based on the experience of those who have experienced it, Gu Yun, a character with his own girlfriend, will not only not become their competitors, but may become their life mentor.
It is not limited to balance training, but about girls, girls, girls, and other aspects.
After two days of physical training, anyone with discerning eyes could see that An Ling and Gu Yun were a couple and no chance for others.
“It’s actually very simple.”
Faced with all the questions of the crowd, Gu Yun enthusiastically explained it - after really leading the students, he found that his ability to be a teacher has improved a lot, and also understood that in the teaching process, it is easier for people to understand through vivid metaphors.
"This kind of training is essentially like encountering giant monsters on a single-plank bridge. Just imagine the lifeguard in the water as a skull or a piranha. Once you fall into the water, you will die without a burial place. It will be easy to pass this practice."
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became silent.
Everyone looked at Gu Yun, then looked at the lifeguard who was "ambushed" in the water, waiting for rescue at any time, trying to imagine him as a crocodile-like ferocious look...
"Sorry, Dr. Liu."
In the crowd, someone slowly raised his hand, "This training is not suitable for me, I chose to abstain."
Who made you spread panic!
