126: Chapter 126 Martial Arts Practice, Basic Archery
Hu Gualing saw it clearly; the action of that little figure on the phone rolling on the ground was clearly the "Lazy Donkey Roll"!
If it were any other Move, he might have let it slide, but this "Lazy Donkey Roll" was something he had created himself and practiced until he could do it in his sleep, so there was no way he could be mistaken.
So, does the Training Room here really have a connection with Fantasy Jianghu?
Hu Gualing continued watching with a skeptical mind and soon discovered that not only had the little figure used the "Lazy Donkey Roll" at the beginning, but when it proceeded to hit the wooden dummy, the skills it used were also the ones he had learned in Fantasy Jianghu—the "Farmers Three Punches".
So this is what practicing martial arts is!
It was practicing all the skills he had mastered in Fantasy Jianghu.
And apart from him and Xiao Niao, the other group members hadn't even been able to enter Fantasy Jianghu yet, let alone learn any skills, so naturally, they couldn't retrieve any character data.
As Hu Gualing thought about this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at being a cut above the rest. Watching the little figure on his phone tirelessly throwing one punch, two punches, three punches, and occasionally rolling on the ground to change positions, he found it quite amusing.
Just when he thought the little figure would only repeat those three punching Moves, it suddenly produced an iron hammer from nowhere and began to swing it with a decent technique, smashing it against the wooden dummy and cruelly sending a burst of wood chips flying.
Hu Gualing was stunned, and it took him a moment to realize that this was the "Hammer Mastery" he had comprehended when his "Forging" skill reached level 5! However, this was considered a passive skill in the game; could it actually be counted as a martial art that could be practiced in this Training Room?
As Hu Gualing watched on, he actually gained a little insight into the variations and combinations between these Moves.
The thing that felt most strange to him was that the little figure was clearly composed of just a few lines, as simple as could be, but once it started moving, it became as vivid and lifelike as an actual person. Not only the action Moves, but even the way it exerted force could be discerned to some extent.
Hu Gualing became entranced without realizing it. In a daze, he felt that the little figure on the screen was himself, constantly throwing one punch, two punches, three punches...
If Hu Gualing could see the backend of the Main God Space, perhaps he would discover that several of his skills in the game were occasionally popping up with the text "Experience +1+1"...
Before he knew it, the one-hour usage time for the Training Room had been used up.
The little figure on the screen disappeared. Hu Gualing shook his head to snap out of it, surprised by how fast time had passed.
And most importantly, nothing had happened, and 1 fantasy point had been wasted; it was simply infuriating!
He had originally intended to test what the Arena was all about, but he temporarily dismissed the thought. Even if this Training Room really had something special, he would have to wait until he had more main god points to spare before researching it.
Hu Gualing yawned; after watching the little figure hit the wooden dummy for so long, he was actually feeling a bit sleepy. He checked the time and saw it was almost midnight, so he put his phone away with peace of mind, closed his eyes, kicked his legs, and waited to drift off into his dreams.
Meanwhile, on Xiao Niao's side, he had naturally also spent 1 fantasy point to activate the Training Room.
Unlike Hu Gualing, Xiao Niao first tried the Arena function.
This was because when he looked at this arena, he felt it was very familiar, very much like the arena in the stickman fighting game he had made previously.
However, after entering the Arena, he couldn't find any players to spar with. The only online player, Hu Gualing, showed a status of "Practicing Martial Arts", and apart from him, no second player could be found.
Xiao Niao had no choice but to give up and turned to start practicing martial arts instead.
As soon as that stickman appeared on his phone screen, Xiao Niao was basically certain that this Training Room had been adapted and implanted based on the small fighting game he had made himself!
It was just that... he had only just packed the game development files and sent them to the group owner, and it had only been a few hours; had it already been implanted?
This was too incredibly fast!
Furthermore, the fluidity of the stickman's movements made him feel ashamed.
He saw on the phone screen that the little figure pulled out a bow and arrow from nowhere, stood in a proper bow stance, aimed at the wooden dummy, and nocked and shot the arrow all in one fluid motion. With a "thwack" sound, the arrow embedded itself into the wooden dummy, the tail of the arrow wobbled a few times before settling firmly in place.
Xiao Niao clicked his tongue in secret: Look at this movement fluidity, look at these visual details, look at this realistic impact... They truly deserve to be the production team that created the epoch-making holographic online game Fantasy Jianghu; they are simply too talented...
As for the Archery the little figure was using, it looked very familiar; it should be the "Basic Archery" he had mastered in Fantasy Jianghu.
So that's what practicing martial arts means. It's just that he didn't know... other than being able to watch an animation on his phone for a while, did spending fantasy points to practice martial arts have any other purpose? There should be, right... otherwise that would be too much of a rip-off.
Xiao Niao watched the little figure perform while deep in thought.
Hu Gualing's little figure could switch between practicing punches, kicks, and the hammer; although there wasn't much variation, it was still somewhat interesting to watch.
Xiao Niao was different. In the game, he had only mastered one skill, "Basic Archery", so his little figure could only strictly and repeatedly nock and shoot, nock and shoot...
Logically speaking, watching the little figure repeat the same Archery action should have been quite dull and boring after a while, but Xiao Niao didn't know why—the more he watched, the better it looked, and the more he wanted to watch, until he found himself completely immersed in it without realizing it.
In the blink of an eye, the available time for the Training Room had expired. When asked if he wanted to renew, Xiao Niao finally snapped out of it, realizing that he had actually been staring at a little figure repeatedly shooting arrows for so long!
Xiao Niao took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, which felt somewhat dry and sore. Just as he was about to put them back on, he noticed the computer screen on his desk light up.
The desktop computer he used for work had very high specifications; every piece of hardware was high-end gear he had carefully selected himself in Huaqiangbei. It was incredibly powerful while also being very sturdy and durable.
Therefore, he hadn't turned this computer off many times since he assembled it. In any case, after a period of inactivity, the monitor would turn off automatically, and the host would enter sleep mode, with only the power light shining with a dim, non-glaring light. It didn't affect his sleep; on the contrary, Xiao Niao had developed a habit over time of needing to see the power light on to sleep soundly.
Moreover, this practice allowed the electronic components in the computer to maintain a basic charge, which also had certain benefits for its lifespan.
However, now that even the computer screen had lit up, it meant that it certainly wasn't just the basic charge; the computer had been woken up from sleep mode.
