Max was satisfied.
After trying the gym for the day, he returned to his apartnt and took a shower. They allowed one to have a day trial, so he didn't need to spend any money for mbership and actually gained access even to the VR room, which was unexpected.
The gym was better than he initially thought, although he could only play co-op once because no one wanted to play with a 'newbie.' But that was enough. His goal was already achieved.
'My planned path is actually possible. I will be able to cut one or maybe even two minutes of the run with that. Also, I will probably subscribe to their mbership as I quite like the place.'
Turning off the water, Max wiped his body with a towel while sighing. It was just too hard to look at his ribs sticking out.
'I need to eat more.' He thought as he got dressed.
It was now 5 PM, just an hour before his stream schedule. He only tried the VR room for an hour earlier and wasn't exhausted even when he exercised afterward. His body had gained more stamina slightly in these 5 days since his transmigration.
That was good progress, considering Max didn't push himself too much in real life. That made him wonder whether his capsule activity also affected his stamina growth.
"There is no way that's the case, right? It's just impossible, hahaha."
Training inside the capsule and the real body affected by it was impossible, as the body wouldn't move at all.
In fact, scientists have already debunked that no matter how hard the brain activity in VR was, it wouldn't affect the body at all. At least human muscle mass wouldn't change just by lying down and exerting their brain a little bit.
So Max's increased stamina was thanks to his hard work and probably the nutritious al he had every ti he didn't visit Nina's restaurant.
Having a ti before his streaming, Max wondered what he should do. But then, he decided to enter the VR world and joined Knighted Lobby to hear so rumors. Who knew if there was news about him?
Even if Max wasn't an attention whore, it was great hearing himself get praised directly for his godly skill.
Unusually, the Lobby seed to be in chaos right now, more than when the news of Breeze soloing Trouser was spread yesterday.
'What happened?'
Max, who had just arrived, wondered. People were talking with each other excitedly, and so even cursed at the others because they didn't believe him.
This was sothing beyond a single player who managed to do sothing incredible. The fever was like when Max discovered a new route. It was just that big!
And that was bad news for him, as the threads about him probably were pushed down thanks to this news.
'What's actually happening?'
Max imdiately opened the community forum to check. Just as he had expected, the threads about him were pushed down by one new thread uploaded by soone nad Flexy with a title [Unbelievable path!].
That na was slightly familiar to him. That person should be a strear.
So Max went and checked the Punch. Just as he had expected, Flexy turned out to be a strear who was focused on Knight's Journey lately. He had more than 100K followers, a rather big strear in this age.
It roused Max's curiosity. What kind of thread was that kind of person posted? And why did he post it in the forum?
The latter was obviously to gain more traction to his livestream. But the forr still made Max curious.
'Let's see...'
The thread was apparently about a co-op fort siege. When Flexy was streaming to promote a certain gym, he t with soone who made an unbelievable move.
When he read that, Max froze a little and thought of sothing.
'Gym... Co-op. Hahaha, could it be? The player who did a co-op with in the VR room was killed by a barbarian 3 minutes after we entered. There is no way this Flexy is that bad.'
A clip was attached in the thread, and Max couldn't help but chuckle when he saw it. Why not? Because what he thought was the start of his stagnation was actually a great boost for him.
The video was only 5 seconds long as Flexy's sight turned black all of a sudden. But that was enough for Max to recognize himself, no, his movent.
Under the video, Flexy also put up a comnt.
[Can soone help find that person? When I exited the capsule, he's already gone.]
— Sorry, but that's too short
— How is he playing? I watched the stream, but it's only focused on you!
— That damn movent! It's inhuman!
— I think that's Breeze
└ I think so too. I won't mistake that movent and those axes!
└ The clip is too short, but only Breeze uses axes and he is crazy
└ You an crazy good, right?
— That was , Flexy! It's who played with you! Thank you for inviting !
└ Shut up, that's Breeze, okay!
└ lolol, trying to impersonate soone!
└ Idiot
└ Brainless
It was both good news and bad news. The good news was Max could use this to further boost and make his na recognized.
The bad news was his strategy was leaked. He didn't think he would et a famous strear in Galaxy Gym's VR room.
Now, his competitors for the programs would see this move and try it. A path that saved one or two minutes in a speedrun was too valuable not to be used.
'What a ss.' Max thought, sighing in exasperation at his mistake.
However, there was still sothing he needed to do.
"Aaah, let's reply to this thread. Or people will try to get the credit."
That was sothing that Max refused to give. He was the one who found that path, so the credit should go to him.
"Hi, Flexy. That was , Breeze... That might be too formal." He scratched the back of his head and deleted it all. "Fuck it, let's write it like this."
— That was . I didn't know the person I invited to play co-op in the gym was you, hahaha! The way you died by getting stabbed from behind was hilarious and made laugh.
"It's good enough." He nodded, satisfied with what he wrote.
His account na was written in the post, so everyone could recognize him. Now, he just had to wait.
