Chapter 106 Gym Street
and Lu Dahu and others had enough to eat and drink, and had a good night's rest. The next morning, Russell followed the navigation guidance and came to Senluo Avenue where the Green Leaf Gym was located.
This road is the most prosperous street in Senluo City. Being named after the city fully reflects its core position in the entire city.
Walking on Senluo Avenue, Russell found that there were almost all shops related to plants along the way. There were not only pet houses that cultivated plant-based pets, but also material stores that sold seeds, saplings and fertilizers, as well as restaurants, clothing stores and martial arts gyms. All are plant-themed.
Although Russell had known for a long time that a gym had a huge role in promoting the development of the surrounding area, it was only when he was standing in such a flowery and green street scene that he first felt the importance of the gym in the world of beast control.
Passing through layers of green landscape belts and street flower shops, at the end of Senluo Avenue, Russell saw the Green Leaf Gym located here.
It was said to be a gym, but it was actually more like a botanical garden. If it hadn't been for the "Green Leaf Gym" sign at the entrance, Russell would have thought he had gone to the wrong place.
"...The plant-themed gym doesn't need to be decorated like this, it's a bit too exaggerated..."
Russell couldn't help complaining as he pulled open the broad-leaved plant branches that almost completely covered the gate.
If you want to formally establish a gym, you must pass the assessment and authorization from the Principality Beast Taming Alliance Headquarters. To a certain extent, even the Senluo City Beast Taming Alliance has no direct jurisdiction over the Greenleaf Gym.
With the authorized badge bearing the headquarters of the Southern Principality's Beast Taming Alliance posted at the door, Russell felt that a regular gym did not need to attract visitors through decoration style.
If we all follow this style, when I open an insect gymnasium in the future, wouldn't it be decorated into a pansi cave... "
My friend, haven't you heard of environmental mimicry cultivation?"
Hearing Russell's murmur, a question A voice suddenly came from behind him. .
After hearing this, Russell looked back and saw that the person speaking was a young man of about the same age as him. However, this young man was not dressed like a local from Senluo City. He had a feather decoration tied on his head and his clothes were also light and elegant. The style should come from the mountain city in the west of the southern principality.
Everyone's beast control talents and chosen pet beasts are different. It is also common to challenge gyms with superior attributes across regions.
The mountain cities headed by Yunhai City are rich in bird pets and have a certain suppression on the plant system. Beast masters there often go to Senluo City to challenge the gym.
"Mimetic breeding, do you mean to create a breeding method that is similar to the environment where the pet beast comes from? Is this breeding method a big improvement?" The other party's attitude was quite friendly, and Russell also humbly asked him for advice
.
There seems to be such a term in the original memory of the school training course, but I don't have much memory. I just remember that the cost is very high and it is not suitable for the insect house that is on the verge of bankruptcy.
"Yes, in the native environment, pet beasts will grow faster, and it will be easier to master some race-specific skills, and their combat effectiveness will also be improved. However, the cost of simulating a wilderness in the city is very high. Except for wealthy alliance organizations, The average person really has very little exposure to it."
After hearing Russell's answer, the young man nodded and told him more information about environmental mimicry cultivation.
After speaking, he also introduced himself.
"My name is Zhou Wen, from Silver Wing City. Are you here to challenge the gym?"
Although Russell acted like a newbie, the young man named Zhou Wen did not show contempt and seemed to be of good quality.
"My name is Russell, and today is my first time to challenge at the Beast Taming Gym."
Russell's concept of the gym challenge is indeed limited to watching some videos and talking about it on paper. He also generously admitted that he is really a newbie.
Chatting one after another, the two soon arrived at the interior of the Greenleaf Gym. Like the outside, there were potted broad-leaf plants everywhere, making it look like they were in the woods.
"Good morning, you two. Are you a challenger or a visitor?"
The registrar in the gym hall was a young lady wearing a green dress and a few green leaf-shaped hairpins on her head. She handed over a registration form and asked about Russell and Zhou Wenlai’s affairs at the gym.
The two naturally chose to sign up as challengers.
"If you want to challenge, there are three places left in the morning. They have been arranged for you. Please go to the right channel." The degree of mechanization in the
world of beast control is no worse than that of the real world. After swiping the identity code and completing a simple registration, the lady at the front desk I applied for temporary passes for the two of them.
Russell and Zhou Wen were the only two people on the corridor leading to the Husse area on the right, while the corridor leading to the open area on the left was crowded with people.
For a gym, there are only a very small number of challengers among the visitors, and most of the visitors are actually tourists. This is actually a very normal phenomenon.
After all, the legendary level strength of the gym owner is there. Even if he only uses challenge-specific pet beasts of similar levels, most ordinary people will not be able to survive even one round. Moreover, all challenge matches in ordinary gyms are open to the public, and the public can not only watch but also record them freely.
Without some basic combat skills, blindly challenging someone would be equivalent to embarrassing themselves in public. Naturally, few non-professional beastmasters would join in the fun.
Of course, this will not affect the public's enthusiasm for watching the Gym Challenge.
Just like many people in this world may not know how to play football, but are keen to watch sports games, almost every gym challenge is packed with seats.
The reason for this arrangement was that the Beast Taming Alliance had thought carefully about it.
Firstly, in the gym challenge, the gym leader will not use his main pet beast, so there is no problem of exposing his trump card.
Secondly, the Beast Control Alliance officials want to attract people to actively participate in the breeding of pet beasts. The most intuitive method is always a competitive competition that is not dangerous, can be cool, and has prizes.
There may not be many people who want to be professional beast hunters or sergeants in the garrison, but it can be said that it is the dream of every young person to achieve excellent rankings in league competitions and make a splash.
It can not only create profits, but also inspire the whole people to cultivate enthusiasm, so why not do it.
"Phew... I'm a little nervous, Brother Russell, why do you look so calm?"
On the way to the Hussein Room, Zhou Wen kept taking deep breaths and obviously started to panic.
"Um... I'm just here to test the waters. If you can't beat him, you can't beat him."
Behind Zhou Wen, Russell, who was looking around like a curious baby, expressed his thoughts.
Although Russell is very confident in Ayou's strength, Daodao Mantis has not fully understood the two key skills. In a one-on-two situation, Ayou may not be able to withstand the siege of the opponent's pet beast.
Last time in the Black Dew Forest, Daodao Mantis was able to exert its super high combat effectiveness because the Bone-Crushing Tomahawk Dragon blessed it with the will to fight, allowing it to temporarily unlock the unparalleled fighting spirit skill.
In fact, the mastery of Daodao Mantis's Unparalleled Fighting Intent skill is just over half way. In actual combat, apart from making him braver, it cannot exert a real amplification effect, so Russell really has no intention of clearing the gym in one go.
Besides, I have seen the world of ninth-level pet beasts fighting. It’s just a challenge to a gym. It’s not more terrifying than the Moon Demon Rabbit’s indiscriminate bombardment, right?
However, Russell's innocence was quickly slapped in the face, and half a minute later, he completely understood what Zhou Wen was nervous about.
After walking through the corridor to the Hussein area, they happened to see the scene near the end of the previous challenge. The young beastmaster's long-toothed raccoon struggled to hold on in the storm of flying leaves, but was soon knocked away. Got out.
The pet beast was injured and defeated, and the beastmaster naturally had a hard time. The young man's legs weakened and he left the battle area with the help of the gym staff.
At the same time, hundreds of tourists were standing not far away holding up mobile phones and cameras to take pictures, including several anchors with recording and lighting equipment...
"Dear friends, the fourth challenger this morning. , he persisted, move your little hand to give a like, and continue to bring you wonderful gym challenge live broadcasts!" "Oh,
I just said that long-tusked raccoons can't do it. Go home and show this video to your son, he should They will listen to us obediently and choose the thunder cloud element as the initial pet beast."
With the help of some mechanical pet beasts, the onlookers could even take a clear picture of the last challenger.
He took out his mobile phone and scrolled through several live broadcasts of Greenleaf Gym's challenges. Seeing various snapshots of the previous challengers throwing themselves down, twisting their mouths, and rolling their eyes, even Russell, who had not yet played, felt a sense of social death.
When he participated in the quarterly rookie group competition before, although there were a lot of spectators around him, the venue was also larger. There was a distance of dozens of meters, so he didn't actually have much sense of being watched.
Today is the first time Russell has experienced the pressure of being stared at by hundreds of eyes.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to be a competitive beastmaster..."
Sliding through the emoticons made from the challengers' snaps in the live broadcast comment area, Russell secretly made up his mind that even if he failed miserably, he would never show any exaggerated expressions!
"We invite the next challenger, Zhou Wen, a professional beastmaster from Silver Wing City!"
At this moment, the announcement in the gym sounded again, and Zhou Wen, who signed up with him, took a long breath and walked slowly in A battlefield filled with green leaves.
