Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1219:

The Suffering People-In-Charge

September 12th, Wednesday…

‘Suffering Travel’ special training base.

The people in charge stood in a row in front of the huge realistic-looking wall that was nearly 20 meters tall in the stadium. Their faces were filled with sorrow.

It was too unfair!

Hu Xianbin and Huang Sibo were kidnapped last Wednesday while the other people in charge had been ‘brought back’ last Friday or this Monday.

They had already spent three to five days in this special training base after taking away their weekend break.

Bao Xu was still rather benevolent. He kept in mind the Tengda spirit of not working over the weekend. He did not arrange training missions on Saturday and Sunday. Instead, he let these people go back and reunite with their families.

In any case, he was not worried that they would run away.

However, this level of benevolence was obviously not enough to offset the pain of training.

How could these people in charge have experienced such suffering? They were all angry but did not dare to speak up. Their expressions were constipated.

The schedule of the special training base was quite scientific.

Wake up at 6.30 AM for breakfast;

Learn about wilderness survival from 7 to 8 AM;

Warm-Up jog from 8 to 9 AM;

Rock climbing and abseiling from 9 to 10 AM;

Physical training from 10: 30 to 12 PM;

Lunch from 12 PM to 1 PM;

There was an hour to rest from one to two;

From 2 PM to 5 PM, they would simulate field training. For example, they would do jumping, weighted, balancing on one foot, and shooting.

At 5 PM to 7 PM, it would be a special training for outdoor living skills, such as setting up a tent, building a shelter, killing chickens to get rid of their feathers, killing fish to skin fish scales, and so on.

They would have dinner at 7 PM. After that, they would learn about wilderness survival for a short period of time. Then, they would officially rest around 9 PM.

Sleep time had been sufficiently guaranteed and nutrition was not a problem but this experience was still a form of torture.

On one hand, there was a lot of training. They would be exhausted after training every day. On the other hand, the food and accommodation conditions were not good.

In order to adapt to the living conditions in the wild, everyone had to sleep in tents and sleeping bags. The food they ate might be nutritious but they had to be equipped with certain compressed biscuits, canned food, meat, and other less delicious emergency food. What’s more, they had to finish it.

However, such suffering was maintained at a very weird positioning, at a level that could be endured and could be overcome with a little effort.

In any case, it would only be a month. They would grit his teeth and pass it.

Bao Xu’s expression was serious as he walked around in front of everyone.

“After two days of training, everyone has learned the basic skills of rock climbing.”

“Today is the first time everyone is trying to climb this twenty-meter simulated rock wall.”

“Those who climb the highest within the time limit will be rewarded – they can play with their cell phones during their break from one to two in the afternoon!”

Everyone who had been dispirited perked up when they heard this.

That was because they had not touched their cell phones for three days!

Who knew what kind of torture this was?

They could only play with his cell phone for an hour, but that was already a huge temptation.

Bao Xu was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction. “Alright, remember the key points that you have learned previously. Take safety measures and start climbing!”

Once he gave the order, the people in charge quickly put on their protective gear.

Since they had already warmed up and stretched in advance, there was no need to prepare for activities.

Sa Ziran, the special instructor, had already discussed about the protective equipment. It could not be too tight or too loose. It was best to maintain an index finger’s distance from the width of his legs.

After checking the safety belt, helmet, and crash retractors, the protectors checked them carefully and protected them one-on-one. Then, they could start climbing.

Bao Xu’s whistle sounded and the people in charge immediately used their hands and feet to climb up the wall of the simulated landscape.

On the other hand, Bao Xu revealed a satisfied smile.

Ah, this job was really too good, too good!

Bao Xu watched as the people in charge climbed up the cliff slowly and arduously. He felt that this was even more enjoyable and fascinating than a game.

As expected, Guo Licheng took the lead.

Among these people in charge, Guo Licheng, who was a professional fitness trainer, was a demotion blow to others. He was an instant kill in most physical training sessions.

However, there was not much difference in the rock climbing project.

That was because rock climbing was a sport that resisted gravity. It had higher requirements for the strength of the fingers. The strength of the fingers was different from other large muscles in the body. It was very difficult to improve. The limit of strength increase was very obvious.

Under such circumstances, too much muscle and fat would have the same effect in rock climbing. It would only increase weight and become a burden.

What’s more, excessive muscles might also affect the flexibility of certain movements. Rock climbing itself was a particularly strong exercise in flexibility and flexibility. Some muscular people would find it difficult to cross their arms or thighs adequately because of their huge muscles. Their flexibility and endurance would become worse.

Coincidentally, Guo Licheng was a man with very developed muscles. He was very muscular all over, and his weight was more than 100 kilograms. Thus, he did not have an obvious advantage in rock climbing.

Hu Xianbin followed closely behind, using both hands and feet, as if he was trying his best to surpass Boss Pei.

“Eh? Hu Xianbin is quite motivated. Not bad, not bad.” Bao Xu nodded approvingly.

The people in charge of Tengda basically had a fitness plan in Deposit Fitness. Even though they did not look like they had achieved results from training, their physical fitness was still alright. Hu Xianbin was the younger one among them. His physical fitness was relatively outstanding, so he climbed very quickly.

Rock climbing was indeed a very physical exercise. Some people in charge were already panting after a while. They gave up after persevering for a while and grabbed the rope to descend.

Sa Ziran silently recorded the height that everyone climbed.

Hu Xianbin gritted his teeth and persevered to the end. What’s more, he surpassed Guo Licheng. He did not know if he relied on his own strength or if he secretly made a deal on the top to make Guo Licheng go easy on him.

However, on account of Hu Xianbin working so hard, Bao Xu turned a blind eye and tacitly allowed it.

After rock climbing and abseiling training, they would rest for a period of time and start physical training.

The physical training in the morning was regular physical training, so the people in charge could only be beaten by Guo Licheng.

It was the same for Hu Xianbin. He had expended too much energy during rock climbing, so his physical training had been wasted.

Hu Xianbin’s hands were still shaking even during lunchtime. He could not hold down his food.

It was finally time to rest. Hu Xianbin snatched the cell phone from Bao Xu and lay down in his tent.

“Quick, quick, quick… How is Eternal Reincarnation doing…”

Hu Xianbin was surfing the webpage anxiously.

Last weekend, he realized that a portion of the content of Eternal Reincarnation had been updated, but the combat system had not been updated. Thus, there was a huge controversy online.

Hu Xianbin did not understand what Meng Chang and Yu Fei were doing at all. He was already overseas last month. He had not been able to meet Yu Fei and ask him about it until now.

Now, another three days have passed. He had been completely isolated from the world for these three days. He was very eager to know the current situation of Eternal Reincarnation.

“An announcement?”

“Huh? You want to update the combat system in advance again?”

“This…”

Hu Xianbin scratched his head.

He felt that this method was not very appropriate, but he could only be anxious and could not help.

Previously, he was the chief designer of Tengda Games. If he encountered any problems, he could ask Boss Pei directly. Even though there were occasional twists and turns, the final outcome was always good.

The most important thing was that he was always within Tengda. Even if he could not understand Boss Pei’s deeper intentions, he at least felt at ease.

However, Hu Xianbin knew nothing about Tengda Games’ internal situation now. Naturally, he was filled with worry.

It could be seen from the players’ feedback that this announcement had calmed the players’ original debate to a certain extent, but it had triggered a new debate.

“They did not achieve the expected effect because of a work mistake? That’s too vague. What exactly was the mistake? What was the expected effect?”

“Would a games company like Tengda make mistakes? That’s rare.”

“It should be a gaming experience problem that many people are complaining about! I already said that there’s a huge problem with the gaming experience of Eternal Reincarnation. People have been saying that it is because they were bad at gaming! Now, look at it. Tengda has recognized its mistake. Don’t protect it!”

“I think it should be a problem caused by the split updates. It might not be like this if it was done in a single update.”

“No matter what, it’s a good thing that the combat system has been updated in advance.”

“Everyone is not a saint. How can we not make mistakes? Boss Pei is not the only one in Tengda. Even if Boss Pei’s plan is perfect, his subordinates would inevitably encounter problems while executing it. You don’t have to worry too much about this. It is not a principled mistake. There is no need to keep harping on it.”

“Sigh, I think this is a bad sign. Does this mean that there’s a problem with internal management?”

“I’m afraid it’s really going to become the beginning of Tengda falling off the pedestal!”

Players were discussing all sorts of things. There were sporadic quarrels but most people were focused on the update on Friday.

If Eternal Reincarnation updated the combat system and the entire gaming experience improved greatly, that would be over. If the gaming experience still did not change, it would be over.

Hu Xianbin sighed silently.

Given the current situation, there was nothing he could do to help.

“Hurry up and end the special training. I can’t wait to get back to work!”

“Sigh, on the bright side. I should be free after this one month of special training.”

“There are so many people in charge of Tengda’s various departments. At the very least, they will be able to gather two more groups of people for special training.”

“There are even more core employees in the various departments.”

“In other words, the earlier I die, the earlier I’ll be revived. As long as I survive this month’s special training, I might not come and suffer for the next six months.”

“Yes, if that’s the case, life is still filled with hope.”

Hu Xianbin felt like a prisoner who had been locked up. He could not wait to engrave dates on the wall every day to record how many days he had left.

He felt a sense of despair from the bottom of his heart when he thought about how less than a week had passed since his one-month sentence.

Sigh, he regretted making the arrangements for Bao Xu with the others back then!
