Practical Stats

Ning Qi looked around the gym and saw that not many people were there at this time. It's common because it's 3 p.m. in the afternoon.

Not many people in this busy world have time to go to the gym during the afternoons, except those who always spend their lives at the gym.

He was also surprised by the sheer size and quantity of equipment available in the gym.

Just as Ning Qi reached the reception desk, he saw a middle-aged lady sitting there. As soon as she saw Ning Qi come, she stood up and asked,

"Hello, sir! Good afternoon. How can I help you?"

"Good afternoon, lady! I am here to work out. Please help me with the process." Ning asked politely.

"No problem, sir! First of all, are you going to select the one-time use option or do you want to opt for the unlimited plan we have, including the monthly plan, half-yearly plan, and annual plan, along with proper guidance from a professional couch?..."

Ning Qi patiently listened to the receptionist, even though he came to check on his exact strength. It's always good to know these things.

"I'm here for one-time use only! What's the cost for an hour, and is there any proper equipment to check my running speed in this gym?"

Ning Qi asked, as his most important concern is how to check his agility. He can test his strength by weightlifting and use the results to calculate his first power.

But he can't ask a person to hold a wristwatch, as he ran at abnormal speeds, which will not only render that person speechless. It will also cause all kinds of issues for him.

"We don't serve on an hourly basis here, sir! We provide our customers with access daily. For a monthly plan, it's 600 yuan. If we go with that, it should be only 20 yuan per day, but we take 40 yuan for the daily access plan."

"And yes, sir, we have a separate hall for hundred-meter sprints, and we use optical chronographs to measure your speed. We have sensors on both ends, at the start of the sprint and at the end of the sprint, and using those will provide pretty accurate measurements. We also have a swimming hall with the same type of facilities if you want to use it, sir."

The receptionist lady explained patiently and even tried to promote their unlimited plans again, making Ning Qi not know whether to laugh or cry.

After hearing the lady, Ning Qi's concern is gone. He took out his wallet, ready to pay the money.

"Sir! From the looks of it, you didn't bring any clothes for the workout. We have a rule that customers must use workout clothes along with a sweat towel to clean their workout places themselves..."

"It's not that we can't clean them. It's just that it's hard to track with this big gym. If you want, you can go and get them, or you can pay an extra 10 yuan and use the clothes from here. They are all very professionally maintained, and you don't have to worry about hygiene."

The lady again explained politely, not making Ning Qi uncomfortable with all the rules here.

"Alright then! Here are the 50 yuan, I will use the clothes from here then. Also, does the track field have anyone there? If there is someone inside, can you please ask them to give the field a minute without anyone? I will pay an extra 100 yuan for that, lady. Don't take me wrong, lady. I'm a national-level runner, and I just don't want to attract many people's attention here. "

Ning Qi explained as he saw the receptionist's expression change from polite to wary all of a sudden. He just doesn't want anyone inside, so that he can go full speed.

"Oh! My bad, sorry young man, I thought you were a thief for a second. Haha! It's alright, you can use the track field now, as there is no one inside at the moment. One or two customers are inside the swimming field, and three or four people are in the regular hall. Not even coaches are here at this time. "

To alleviate the embarrassing situation, the receptionist lady said with a laugh. She then again looked at Ning Qi, who is healthy with a slightly lean body, neither looking weak nor buffed up, and nodded her head in agreement.

Ning Qi hurriedly paid the money and took a chip from the lady. She guided him to the changing room and handed him a set of black workout clothes before going away.

Ning Qi also quickly changed his clothes and went to the track. Seeing no one inside, he took a deep breath and slowly closed the door behind him.

He walked to one of the tracks and stood at the starting point. As soon as he stood by the line, there was an LED display lit up at the other end of the court with a timer count of 0:0.

"Well! It looks pretty easy to use. Nah! It's not easy, it's just that I don't even need to do anything. I just need to sprint as soon as I can."

Ning Qi was taken aback and thought to himself. He bent a bit and took the pose, which is the form that lets people exert their most powerful initial burst.

He took 3 to 4 deep breaths to stabilize his mind before sprinting at an abnormal speed. The air made swoosh sounds wherever he went as if it were cut open.

Once he reached the other end, Ning Qi didn't feel out of breath. He quickly looked at the timer on the LED display, which didn't surprise him much.

' 1.2 sec '

It blinks for a second before displaying another set of data.

'80 m/sec

288 km/h '

"Hm! It's a bit worse than what I had initially thought of, huh? "

Ning Qi expected his speed to be close to 400 km/h. After reviewing his statistics, he concluded that his decision to maintain a low profile was sound.

He waited two more minutes until the LED display turned off. He looked around the track field and breathed a sigh as he didn't find any cameras.

He went to the starting line and stood in front of the LED display. The display again showed 0:0. Seeing that his previous display wasn't going to be displayed anymore, he walked out of the track field section.

He also thought of the data that would be stored on the device. But he shook his head, as no one will have the time to check all the data daily. Even if some bored person looked at it, they would assume it was an error on the device's part.

After coming out of the building, he went to check on weightlifting area 1, where he found two people working out and looking to be friends. He decided to check the other area and went to area 2.

Ning Qi saw a row of weights arranged according to their weights and a row of weight bars neatly arranged. But he saw two cameras covering the entire area without much in the way of blind spots, giving him a headache.

"System! Is there any way that you can make these two cameras malfunction for the next ten minutes? "

Ning Qi pondered for a moment on how to deal with the issue but was unable to find any proper solution. He shook his head and decided to ask the system for help.

[Ding! Host, the system doesn't have any of these functions! However, depending on what the host desires, the system can directly add comprehensive strength data to your stats.]

The system spoke without any emotion, giving Ning Qi the most emotional damage possible.

He stood there blankly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to curse the system, but couldn't find a fault with it, as he was the one who didn't even ask in the first place.

He took a deep breath and asked the system to add comprehensive strength to his strength and agility stats, as well as intelligence. It doesn't have any use for him as of now.

"System, do what you said and open my personal stats page. " Ning Qi said.

[Personal stats:

Name: Ning Qi

After seeing his stats, Ning Qi came to understand that his Comprehensive Strength is pretty much similar to his stats with a multiplier on them, with a bit of extra work.

"System! Don't add the varying part, just display the comprehensive part. " Ning Qi instructed the system.

He looked around the gym again and went to the changing room. He soon changed back to his normal clothes and went to the reception area to give back his daily access card.

"Oh! It's only been 15 minutes, and you already came out, sir?" The receptionist asked with surprise.

"I just wanted to use the track field. And I'm done with that, so nothing else is there for me to do." Ning Qi explained the matter as a matter of fact and gave the card back to the lady.

"Alright then, sir! Please visit us again, and you can use this card until 10 p.m. today. If you want to come back later, you can come and use it. I will give your name to the next shift receptionist and hand over this card to them."

The receptionist lady expressed regret that Ning Qi had spent 50 yuan for only 15 minutes.

"Ok, Miss! If I have time. bye "

Ning Qi bade farewell and walked out of the building without looking back, as he probably doesn't need to be here ever.
