Chapter 295 Suffering Trip Training Base

Wednesday, September 12th.

"Suffering Trip" Special Training Base.

The responsible personnel stood in a row in front of the huge, nearly 20-meter-high simulated landscape rock wall inside the stadium, their faces full of sorrowful expressions.

Too wronged!

Hu Xianbin and Huang Sibo had been dragged over last Wednesday, while the other responsible personnel were successively "brought to justice" last Friday or this Monday.

Excluding the weekend rest time, they had already spent three to five days in this special training base.

Bao Xu was still relatively benevolent, remembering Tengda's spirit of "no overtime on weekends," and did not frantically arrange training tasks on Saturdays and Sundays, but released these people to reunite with their families.

Anyway, he wasn't worried about them running away.

But such limited benevolence was clearly not enough to offset the pain of training.

These responsible personnel had never suffered such hardship, each daring to be angry but not daring to speak, their faces looking as if they were constipated.

The schedule at the special training base was still relatively scientific.

Wake up at 6:30 AM for breakfast;

7:00 AM to 8:00 AM for learning outdoor survival knowledge;

8:00 AM to 9:00 AM for a warm-up jog;

9:00 AM to 10:30 AM for rock climbing and rappelling training;

10:30 AM to 12:00 PM for physical training;

12:00 PM to 1:00 PM for lunch;

1:00 PM to 2:00 PM for an hour of rest;

2:00 PM to 5:00 PM for simulated outdoor training, such as frog jumps, weighted squats, single-leg balance, archery, and other projects;

5:00 PM to 7:00 PM for special training in outdoor living skills, such as setting up tents, building shelters, killing chickens and plucking feathers, killing fish and scaling them, and so on;

Dinner at 7:00 PM, followed by a short period of outdoor survival knowledge learning, and then officially rest at around 9:00 PM.

Although sufficient sleep time was guaranteed and the nutrition of the diet was not a problem, this experience was still a form of torture.

On the one hand, the amount of training was quite large, and they were exhausted every day after training; on the other hand, the living conditions were not good.

In order to adapt to outdoor living conditions, everyone had to sleep in tents and sleeping bags, and although the food was nutritious, they also had to be given a certain amount of compressed biscuits, canned food, jerky, and other not-so-delicious emergency food, and they had to eat it all.

But this kind of suffering was subtly maintained at a level that could be tolerated and overcome with a little effort.

Anyway, it was only a month, and they could get through it by gritting their teeth.

Bao Xu had a serious expression as he walked back and forth in front of everyone.

"After these two days of training, everyone has mastered the basic skills of rock climbing."

"Today, everyone will try climbing this 20-meter-high simulated rock wall for the first time."

"The person who climbs the highest within the time limit will receive a reward—being able to play on their phone during the lunch break from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM!"

The crowd, who had been listless, instantly perked up when they heard this.

Because they hadn't touched their phones for three days!

God knows what kind of torture that was.

Although they could only play on their phones for an hour, it was already a huge temptation.

Bao Xu was very satisfied with the crowd's reaction: "Alright, everyone, remember the key points you learned before, take safety precautions, and start climbing!"

At his command, the responsible personnel quickly put on protective gear.

Because they had already warmed up with a jog and stretching beforehand, there was no need to prepare.

Regarding the issue of wearing protective gear, the specially hired instructor Sa Ziran had also explained that it should not be too tight or too loose, and a width of one finger's distance from the crotch was the best.

After checking the safety belts, helmets, fall arresters, and so on, the safety personnel carefully checked and protected them one-on-one before they could start climbing.

With a whistle from Bao Xu, the responsible personnel immediately climbed the simulated landscape rock wall with both hands and feet.

Bao Xu revealed a pleasant smile.

Ah, this job is so happy and enjoyable!

Watching the responsible personnel slowly and laboriously climb the rock wall one by one, Bao Xu felt that it was even more joyful and fascinating than a game.

Unsurprisingly, Guo Licheng took the lead.

Among these responsible personnel, Guo Licheng, who came from a professional fitness coach background, was simply a dimensional reduction strike to the others, and was a dominating presence in most physical training.

But only in the rock climbing project could the gap not be widened too much.

Because rock climbing is a sport that fights against gravity, it has high requirements for finger strength, and finger strength is different from other large muscle groups in the body. It is very difficult to improve, and the limit of strength growth is very obvious.

And in this case, too much muscle and fat have the same effect in rock climbing, only increasing weight and becoming a burden.

Moreover, excessive muscle may also affect the flexibility of certain movements. Rock climbing itself emphasizes flexibility and agility. Some muscular people have difficulty fully crossing their arms or thighs due to their large muscle mass, and their flexibility and endurance will deteriorate.

And Guo Licheng happened to be a devil muscle man with very developed muscles, with very thick muscles all over his body, and his weight even reached more than 100 kilograms, so he did not have an obvious advantage in the rock climbing project.

Hu Xianbin followed closely behind, using both hands and feet, seemingly trying hard to surpass him.

"Hmm? Hu Xianbin is quite motivated, not bad, not bad." Bao Xu nodded in approval.

These responsible personnel of Tengda basically have fitness plans in the托管 (tuōguǎn) fitness center. Although they can't train to be like Guo Licheng, their physical fitness is okay. Hu Xianbin is relatively young among them, and his physical fitness is relatively excellent, so he climbed quickly.

Rock climbing is indeed a very physically demanding sport. After a while, some responsible personnel were already panting and exhausted. After persevering for a while, they gave up and lowered themselves down with the rope.

Sa Ziran silently recorded the height of each person's climb on the side.

Hu Xianbin gritted his teeth and persevered to the end, and successfully surpassed Guo Licheng. It was not clear whether it was due to his real strength, or whether he secretly engaged in a wave of py deals at the top, letting Guo Licheng release water.

However, considering Hu Xianbin's hard work, Bao Xu turned a blind eye and tacitly allowed it.

After rock climbing and rappelling training, take a break and start physical training immediately.

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

Hu Xianbin was the same. He consumed too much physical strength during rock climbing, so the physical training session was directly given away.

Even when eating lunch, Hu Xianbin's hands were still shaking, and he couldn't hold the food a little.

Finally, it was time for a break. Hu Xianbin almost snatched the phone from Bao Xu's hand and lay down in his tent.

"Quick, quick, quick... How is *Eternal Reincarnation* doing..."

Hu Xianbin was very eager to browse the web page.

Last weekend, he found that *Eternal Reincarnation* had updated a part of the content, but did not update the combat system, which caused huge controversy on the Internet.

Hu Xianbin completely didn't understand what Meng Chang and Yu Fei were doing. After all, he had gone out to travel last month, and he still hadn't been able to meet Yu Fei to ask clearly.

Now, another three days have passed. He has been completely isolated from the world for these three days, and he is very eager to know the recent situation of *Eternal Reincarnation*.

"An announcement was issued?"

"Ah? The combat system is going to be updated in advance again?"

"This..."

Hu Xianbin scratched his head.

He felt that this approach was not very appropriate, but he could only worry and couldn't help.

Previously, he was the main designer of Tengda Games. If he encountered any problems, he could directly ask President Pei for instructions. Although there were occasional twists and turns, the final result was good.

The most important thing was that he was always inside Tengda. Even if he couldn't figure out President Pei's deep meaning, he at least felt at ease.

But now, Hu Xianbin knew nothing about the internal situation of Tengda Games, so he was naturally full of worries.

From the players' feedback, it could also be seen that this announcement had calmed the players' original dispute to a certain extent, but it had triggered a new dispute.

"The reason why the original expected effect could not be achieved was due to work errors? It's too vague. What specific errors are there? What is the expected effect?"

"Even a game company like Tengda will have flaws? It's really rare."

"It should be the game experience problem that many people are complaining about! I said that the game experience of the current *Eternal Reincarnation* has a big problem, and some people have been arguing with me, saying that it's because I'm too unskilled! Now look, Tengda has admitted its mistake, so don't protect it anymore!"

"I think it should be a problem caused by the split update. If it is a complete update, it may not be like this now."

"In any case, the combat system has been updated in advance, which is a good thing."

"To err is human. Tengda doesn't only have President Pei alone. Even if President Pei's plan is perfect, problems will inevitably occur in the process of execution by his subordinates. This matter doesn't need to be taken too seriously. It's not a matter of principle in itself, so there's no need to keep holding on to it."

"Hey, I think this is a bad omen. Does this mean that there are some problems with internal management?"

"I'm afraid this is really going to be the beginning of Tengda falling from the altar!"

The players' discussions were varied. Although there were still sporadic quarrels, most people focused their attention on the update this Friday.

If *Eternal Reincarnation* updates the combat system and the overall game experience is greatly improved, then this matter will pass; if the game experience still doesn't change much, then it will be over.

Hu Xianbin silently sighed.

In this situation, he was anxious but couldn't help.

"Hurry up and end the special training, I really can't wait to go back to work!"

"Hey, think on the bright side, after enduring this month of special training, I should be free."

"There are so many responsible personnel in Tengda's various departments, at least two more batches of people can be gathered for special training."

"And there are even more core employees in various departments."

"In other words, the sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn. As long as you survive this month of special training, I probably won't have to come here to suffer for the next half a year."

"Well, if you think about it this way, life is still full of hope."

Hu Xianbin felt that he was like a prisoner locked up at this time, wishing he could carve the character "正" (zhèng - meaning "correct" or "right") on the wall every day to record how many days were left in his sentence.

When he thought that less than a week had passed since the start of the month-long sentence, he felt a heartfelt despair.

Hey, I shouldn't have arranged Bao Xu with the others in the first place!
