Chapter 3: 3. Schedule before Installation.
27th Dec 2299, 6:30 Am.
Early in the morning, after waking up and doing his morning rituals, Sunny proceeded to prepare breakfast, while browsing through QuantumNet for a gym nearby under the price range of 5k UGC which also has a guide for beginners.
After spending 100k UGC for the VRpod and 10k UGC for the C-QNS solution, he is left with around 10k UGC from his previous savings.
He will receive his Dec salary on 31st Dec which will add 15k UGC to his account.
Therefore he can't afford to spend more than 5k UGC at the gym for the 1st month. He needs to have some money for any emergency, not that he remembered he had any during this time.
He can try to upgrade his membership later and can also hire a reputable personal trainer.
Anyway, 5k UGC is not a small amount. He can get basic premium membership in any reputable gym.
On the QNet he got many suggestions. But they weren't to his liking. So he expanded the extent of the search. After browsing for about 2 minutes he got one, which is recommended by a good professional player.
Lynch Ronin. He is a solo player whose best achievement is rank 73 in the Rogue category. He is also a local of UG-IDH-02, so he is a fairly famous professional player in this neighborhood.
The Virtual Speciality Gym (VSG) is located near his former workplace. So the ride on HB should take about 10 minutes.
There is a basic A.I. guide for beginners. This A.I. will first scan the body of the person and suggest a training schedule.
This A.I. is present in almost all good Gyms. But the limitation of this A.I. is that it can't predict suitable exercise past the basic stage.
Therefore, trainers are still needed if someone wants to specialize in any area like speed, strength, endurance, etc.
A good trainer can come up with an optimum training plan for the trainee. And like the name suggests the Gym specializes in training VR players.
Sunny finished breakfast and got ready in exercise clothes. After that, he took his HB and departed the apartment building to go to the VSG. He reached the front of the Gym building in 10 minutes.
The Gym building is a massive 7 story Villa. The ground floor is a reception area coupled with a food zone and rest lounge.
The 1st and 2nd floors are for beginners. The 3rd to 6th floor is for the veterans and high-intensity training. The 7th floor is a type of VIP zone reserved for the privileged.
Sunny reached the reception desk. On the opposite side of the desk, a good-looking beauty was busy working in HoloScreens.
She must be around 25 years of age. On the nameplate, on top of the desk, her name was written with a silver lining.
_Sarah Shaikh_
"Hi, I am Sarah Shaikh. How may I help you Mr...?" Sarah asked with a smile as she noticed a young man approaching her desk from the front.
About 5'8 height, good looking with an angular jawline, black eyes and thin eyebrows, messy hair which looks good by the way.
Sunny replied. "Hi, I am Sunny. I would like to join the premium membership for the basic course."
'Quite straightforward, huh! A man of few words it seems.' Sarah thought as she asked, "Okay, so I take it as you have already looked through the Gym brochure, yes? So do you have any queries you would like to clarify first?"
Sunny said. "No, I would just like to sign the membership contract for the 1st month, thank you."
'It won't kill you to say a few more words, just brushing me off like that' Grumbled Sarah in her mind, still smiling and passing the contract to Sunny's HW.
Sunny read through the contract once and signed it since he found no difference from the standard posted on the brochure.
"You can find the A.I. Optix and testing machine on the 1st floor near the entrance and get your schedule there.
"The Optix will monitor your progress and steps so you don't have any need for a trainer in the beginning. If you have any questions you can ask the Optix. Thank you for choosing VSG. And the HoverPlatform is in that direction."
Sarah pointed toward the entrance of the food zone. He can see people going in and out of a room that has 10 round platforms moving between floors.
And a separate gold-colored platform at the back which is probably reserved for the VIP 7th floor. He went into the room and boarded one platform that has a HoloScreen indicating its destination as the 1st floor.
After arriving on the 1st floor Sunny found the testing room is on the right side of the entrance.
He got inside the room and saw a man in his early 30s getting a full body scan on a platform similar to HoverPlatform that was surrounded by glass panels.
2 more people, one man, and a woman in their early 20s were also getting evaluated in similar scenarios. Since there are only 3 Scanning Platforms Sunny has to wait for his turn.
After a minute of waiting, the 30 something man got his scanning finished and probably got the training program on his HW since he is now checking his HoloWatch as he exited the room.
Sunny enters the now-empty platform.
"Sir Sunny, can I have the permission to perform a full-body scan and record the data in my database?" A.I. Optix asked in a smooth womanly voice.
Sunny permitted the scan and requested for his information to be kept classified and should need his approval to view the details.
He wasn't sure if his body is different from normal after remembering his memory enhancement due to his reincarnation.
The Optix informed "Sir, your body condition is normal and fitness level is average. What goal do you have in mind, sir?"
"I want to have a lean and flexible body suitable for Mage class." Sunny stated his request. He has already decided to become a mage in VWPS and a flexible body is needed to be a mage. Mages are long-range fighters but if a fight gets close to them they need to be able to dodge and spell cast simultaneously.
The Optix then sent the optimal training suited for his body in his HW. Sunny exited the testing room and proceeded to complete his today's goal set by Optix.
He had some problems in some of the exercises in the beginning but with the guidance of the Optix, he completed the day's routine in about 2 hrs and 13 min.
After finishing his routine he went to the shower located to the right of the testing room. Of course, men and women separated.
He then changed into a clean set of casual clothes and dumped his sweaty exercise clothes in the bag he bought with him in the morning. He then left the Gym and went home on his HoverBoard.
At home, he ate lunch at noon recommended by Optix, which he bought from a good restaurant on the way home.
From afternoon till dinner he surfed the QuantumNet for more about the players who got good ranking in VWPS in the future.
He remembers about many good players and their exploits in VWPS but their Guilds, their position, their history that's blank in his memory.
He wasn't interested in knowing those, so he didn't even look into those types of information in the past of the future that he came from.
He will probably meet many of these players in the game. So, he should at least remember how to behave with them.
Completely stealing their opportunity ahead of time, sharing with them to create goodwill and forming connections, etc.
After that, dinner and then to sleep. That became his schedule till 31st Dec.
He gets up in the morning, eats breakfast, goes to the Gym from 7:30 to 10:00, has lunch at noon, information collection about players, their guilds history and their nature, and then dinner at night, then sleep.
One time Sarah invited him to lunch at the Gym cafeteria asking for his review and any problems from other members etc.
He got to know that Sarah is a social bird and that she is somewhat annoyed by his character during lunch. He can't do anything about that as he is the way he is.
On 30th Dec evening he rearranged his bedroom to free some space for the VRpod which will be delivered the day after.
The pod's size is half of the size of his bed. He had set the delivery date for the C-QNS together with his VRpod.
Now he just has to wait for the delivery tomorrow.
He gets excited every time just thinking about it.
For 5 years he fancied playing the VWPS game. But he didn't had much confidence in himself to play well enough to live without worrying about the cost of food, Nutrient solutions, etc.
And he also can't play while doing the job as he was already slow with his work even if he can play the game while sleeping.
