Chapter 1042: The Professional Version And The Ordinary Version Are Two Different Games!

Qiao Liang turned on the live-stream and arrived at the Deposit Fitness near his residence.

He did not have a members.h.i.+p, but it did not matter. As a loyal user of Tengda, as long as he showed his OTTO cell phone, it would not be a problem to try out the smart fitness drying rack.

He brought his tablet computer over and prepared to use it to run games. Then, he would use the front camera of the tablet to live-stream his workout.

The two images could overlap. The application of Bunny Tail Live-Stream supported this function. Moreover, the size of the two images could be adjusted. There was no need to worry about that.

After arriving at the Deposit Fitness, Qiao Liang explained his purpose for coming.

When he heard that the person in front of him was Boss Pei’s best friend, the famous Teacher Qiao, the fitness trainer took him very seriously and immediately nodded. “Alright, this way please.”

He led Qiao Liang to a specific area in the gym as he spoke.

Qiao Liang was stunned. “So much equipment?”

“There’s even a television?”

Six smart fitness drying racks were neatly placed at the core of the gym.

What’s more, there were televisions hanging on the opposite wall of the equipment, matching each other.

The size of the television was not huge. It was 55 inches, but it was enough at this distance.

These televisions were obviously famous brands of foreign manufacturers. The quality of the images were guaranteed.

Qiao Liang was a little surprised to see this.

He had originally thought that Deposit Fitness would only have one smart fitness drying rack. What’s more, it would be placed in the corner, not fitted with television or any other equipment.

After all, Deposit Fitness had its own main business. There was a lot of professional fitness equipment to begin with. Why would there be so many smart fitness drying racks?

The coach hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully, a little embarra.s.sed. “Actually, there was only one unit.”

“However, two days ago, when Boss Pei came to our flags.h.i.+p store to inspect, he realized that there was only one in the store and no one was interested in it. He was very unhappy. He forced all the stores to have at least five to six, and all of them had to be equipped with television.”

“We had to put in a lot of effort to make room for these lousy thin… ahem, equipment.”

The fitness trainer almost blurted out ‘these lousy things’.

Tengda’s employees highlighted the truth.

Obviously, not all Deposit Fitness employees could understand the benefits of this thing.

Guo Licheng had also partic.i.p.ated in the research and development of this thing, but the other trainers in the gym had no access to these things.

Deposit Fitness had already opened many branches. The employees at this level most likely did not know that the equipment was accompanied by a game. They were just a little dissatisfied when they saw that no one had been interested in the equipment since it was set up and that it occupied a lot of s.p.a.ce.

It was obvious that these fitness trainers preferred professional fitness equipment even though it was their own products.

Qiao Liang could hear the shop a.s.sistant’s dissatisfaction and smiled. “That’s because you haven’t understood Boss Pei’s deeper meaning. Let me do it.”

“Once you understand, you might not be far from becoming the branch manager.”

Qiao Liang smiled and chose one of the smart fitness drying racks to sit down on. Then, he switched on the television and used his cell phone to project a screen.

The fitness trainer could not help but feel curious as he stood by the side.

On one hand, it was because Qiao Liang’s ident.i.ty was special. He had to treat Boss Pei’s friends well. On the other hand, he was curious and wanted to know what Qiao Liang meant.

What did he mean by not understanding Boss Pei’s deeper meaning? Why was he not far from becoming the branch manager after understanding it?

Could it be that something that looked a little out of place had something special about it?

Qiao Liang first searched through Bluetooth and connected it to the smart fitness drying rack. Then, he opened the game and clicked the ‘professional version’ b.u.t.ton on the t.i.tle page.

It did not give too many hints. It simply changed the interface style, but there were many additional instructions. What’s more, the fitness movements were changed completely.

A very detailed description page would appear on the game graphics when changing the movements. It would show what the smart fitness drying rack looked like. Which parts would he have to change if he wanted to practice the next move? What’s more, every time Qiao Liang changed a part, the image would show it in real time. It was as easy as moving his arm, and very accurate.

Qiao Liang’s first action was to clamp his chest.

The fitness trainer stood by the side. He could tell that Qiao Liang was a newbie and did not have any fitness foundation at all. Thus, he wanted to give some pointers to prevent his movements from not being standard and not having the best training effect.

However, he failed to interject after several attempts!

That was because the game character on the screen had already said all that he wanted!

For example, at the beginning, the coach had wanted to remind Qiao Liang to adjust the weight so that he could act within his capabilities. He did not want to foolishly try to increase the weight so quickly. The most important thing was to find a suitable weight for himself.

In the end, he realized that he did not need to say anything.

That was because the characters in the game would roughly determine Qiao Liang’s physical condition based on the height, weight, training situation that Qiao Liang filled in when he entered the game. Then, they would let Qiao Liang try three different weights. Then, they would determine whether the current weights were suitable based on the time Qiao Liang took to pull them up and Qiao Liang’s own feedback.

While Qiao Liang was adjusting the equipment or changing the weight, the game character would also talk about professional fitness, from the basic concept of fitness to the details of a certain movement.

The fitness trainer watched from the side and could not help but feel stunned.

He suddenly felt like he had lost his job…

Deposit Fitness might not have any private training but as a coach, he had to be in charge of guiding newbies.

However, the coach realized that the character in the game had perfectly replaced his role!

Of course, it was impossible to completely replace him. After all, no matter how smart a game program was, it could not compare to a living person. However, it still had seventy to eighty percent of its effect.

That was because fitness was both profound and simple at the same time. Some basic theories would not change much. They were basically common knowledge.

What’s more, the character in the game had another advantage. It would not be annoying or have a bad att.i.tude.

Even if players repeatedly made the same mistake a hundred times, the characters in the game would still seriously remind and guide them. This kind of good temper was absolutely impossible for humans.

This would obviously make many people who were too embarra.s.sed to communicate with the coach lower their guard and distance. After all, it was much easier to deal with game characters than with real people.

Qiao Liang quickly immersed himself in the game. He realized that using the smart fitness drying rack to play “Fitness Battle” was completely different from using a cell phone!

When he was using his cell phone to play, his actions were basically fooling around. He was purely using his hands and feet to exchange for calories. The pleasure points of the game were all focused on clearing the stages and obtaining rewards.

However, using the smart fitness drying rack was completely different.

The game’s characters would give different feedback depending on how the actions were completed. For example, if the movements were too fast, the player would ask the player if the weight was too light. The computer would ask the player to make the standard movements and not ask for quant.i.ty. If the movements were too slow and obviously could not be done, the player would ask the player to lower the weight or take a break.

When the actions were done to a certain standard, the characters in the game would also have special voice-overs and praises.

In other words, using the smart fitness drying rack to play this game could obtain feedback for every action. If one made a particularly standard action, they would obtain special commendation, voice and movements from the character. They would also obtain additional calorie coins. There would also be additional calorie coins after continuously making standard actions.

These were all things that ordinary versions could not enjoy.

Qiao Liang kept changing his fitness movements according to the system notification. Once he finished practicing his chest movements, he would start training his back. Then, he would train his other parts.

Fitness had to be done in a particular way. Generally speaking, experienced hands would come up with a fitness plan. For example, if he practiced his chest today, he would stop tomorrow to train his legs.

That was because after training a certain part of the muscles to the point of exhaustion today, the muscles might not recover tomorrow. It would not be very effective to train again. He had to let the muscles in this part rest sufficiently. The effect would be better if different parts were practiced alternately.

On the other hand, ‘Fitness Battle’ had obviously taken this into consideration. The fitness mission that the system had arranged for Qiao Liang was based on this principle. What’s more, he could check the schedule at any time and make adjustments according to his own preferences.

Qiao Liang was very engrossed in his training. He did not have time to look at the bullet screen comments in the live-stream. All he could see were huge bullet screen comments.

Obviously, the audience in the live-stream was as shocked as the fitness trainer beside him!

“Oh my G.o.d! Old Qiao, that lazy dog, is training so hard?”

“I really want to try it!”

“I wonder how long Old Qiao can last. He might forget about this tomorrow with his usual level of perseverance.”

“That might not be the case. In order to prevent players from giving up halfway, this game has obviously done a lot of hard work. For example, content like character nurturing is still very dynamic.”

“The explanation is very detailed. This is completely different from the ordinary version that I played!”

“What’s that coach standing there for? To watch?”

“I want to place an order. What should I do?!”

“Don’t be rash, bear with it! If you really can’t, go to the nearby Deposit Fitness to take a look. It won’t be too late to purchase after experiencing it!”

The viewers in the live-stream were obviously very interested in this fitness equipment.

Many members in the gym noticed the game that Qiao Liang was playing and came over curiously.

After watching for a while, they canceled their fitness plan today and used the other smart fitness drying rack.

“Coach, how do I use this?”

“Where did you download the game?”

“How do we connect the equipment?”

The coach quickly answered each member’s questions and helped them adjust the equipment.

The “smart fitness zone”, which had been deserted a moment ago, suddenly became lively!
