She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!

Accidents happen frequently in the gym; people get injured or even die, but those using the equipment don’t have time to care.

It’s said that barbells and dumbbells are counted by number, even if you don’t have to reach the exact number consecutively, it can be accumulated, but the equipment has a cooldown period, which is quite troublesome.

During use, the weight can suddenly increase, especially with barbells, and if you’re not careful, you could easily get crushed. Two people have already died this way today.

Dumbbells are better, only causing injuries.

A woman previously using two dumbbells suddenly found the weight increased drastically, and she ended up with a fractured hand.

Although everyone can buy medicine from the store with excellent effects and unlimited availability, the cost is high, and not everyone has enough currency to purchase them.

The store does have items to increase strength, but they’re also expensive. It’s only the third day, and people need to save their money to survive, not to spend it lightly.

The wealthy are happy, thinking today’s experience isn’t too difficult. Those with little money are planning to find Bai Chao later to see if he has any solutions.

Two hours passed, and the treadmill under Ah Chen’s feet suddenly stopped. Even when it’s supposed to end, it has to stir up something. If you’re not careful, you could easily fall.

When it stopped, colorful lights flashed around the treadmill, as if telling Ah Chen she was successful in the experience.

Seeing her step off the treadmill, Bai Chao also came down, followed by two more people using the treadmill.

”You go ahead, I’m going back to my room to freshen up and change into clean clothes, then I’ll come find you,” Ah Chen said.

Bai Chao replied, ”Alright.”

He’s currently a black-hearted merchant selling various things to Adventurers, so he naturally needs to be in the gym.

After Ah Chen left for the administrator, Bai Chao was immediately surrounded by people seeking help.

After getting a room card from the administrator, Ah Chen returned to her room.

The room was small but fully equipped with everything.

After showering, she changed into clean clothes and went to the café first, buying two cups of coffee and some desserts before returning to the gym. This time, she didn’t even have to show anything; the gym opened its doors wide for her, allowing her to enter anytime for the experience.

Inside, people were almost driven crazy. The treadmill was easy for Ah Chen, but for the average person, they would rather choose dumbbells. After all, dumbbells count accumulated numbers, while the treadmill required two continuous hours, and if you’re thrown off halfway, you’d have to start over.

However, many had already made their choice and had no choice but to grit their teeth and bear it.

Bai Chao was in the rest area and waved to Ah Chen when he saw her coming.

Ah Chen put the things on the table and asked, ”What did you sell them today?”

”Physical Energy Pills,” Bai Chao didn’t hide it, ”2000 each.”

”That’s cheaper than yesterday’s Streak Amulet,” Ah Chen said.

Bai Chao dismissively said, ”They don’t have much money; they’re too poor.”

Apart from those who were lucky and started winning later on, who made a considerable amount, those who won and lost more actually didn’t have much money left in their hands once you counted it all up.

Ah Chen sipped her coffee; Bai Chao’s voice was loud, and she could already see many people’s resentful looks.

It’s only the third day, and at this rate, those who can pass the stage are estimated to be less than ten, possibly can be counted on one hand. For the average person, having enough resources is crucial to pass this level, which seems to be designed for the more capable.

On one side, the two sipped their coffee, while on the other, people struggled with the equipment, trying to prevent it from causing trouble suddenly, making a stark contrast.

Ah Chen wasn’t interested in the gym equipment. Once she finished her coffee and confirmed no one else would come to find Bai Chao, they went to have a meal at the restaurant. Bai Chao was familiar with the place, taking her to several restaurants for special dishes. After lunch, they planned to visit the library.

Ah Chen wasn’t too concerned about what was happening in the gym.

While they encountered other people, they did mention the situation over there to her. In general, those who bought Force Pills from Bai Chao had managed to pass, and some others relied on their own possessions and strength to pass. Those without resources or strength could only slowly grind it out inside.

It’s not that they didn’t want to buy things; they simply didn’t have the money.

On their way to the restaurant, they met an NPC selling flowers who asked Bai Chao if he wanted to buy a bouquet for the lady beside him.

Bai Chao bought it.

”Thank you for treating me to coffee earlier,” he said, handing the flowers to Ah Chen, trying hard not to let his hand tremble.

Ah Chen asked, ”Is it just to thank me for treating you to coffee? Wasn’t the coffee free?”

Bai Chao: ...

Oh, it seems like it was!!

”I wanted to give you a bouquet of flowers,” Bai Chao said seriously.

This time, Ah Chen accepted it, ”If you have something to say, just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush.”

”Can I directly say I want to date you too?” Bai Chao blurted out, a bit frustrated but unwilling to retract his words.

Can I say I want you to stay here?

He thought of many things, even darkly considering using his authority to trap her here. Even if she were unwilling, she wouldn’t be able to escape. But, that’s just a thought he couldn’t share with anyone else or actually execute.

”Of course, you can,” Ah Chen replied with a gentle smile, ”We eat together every day, plan outings together; isn’t this the prelude to a relationship?”

Joy spread across Bai Chao’s heart after hearing this.

”I want to date you,” he said, even calling back the flower-selling NPC to buy all the flowers. Setting up a flower-selling NPC turned out to be a very right choice.

Passing Adventurers were taken aback; can you even date an NPC?

Before, she noticed a handsome NPC guy in the gym who was beside her at the equipment; she wondered if she could flirt with him.

No matter, she’ll go ask.

Who knows if she’ll make it out alive; better start a relationship first.

The brave enjoy handsome men first!

Ah Chen wasn’t aware of all this; she was in the restaurant having dinner, surrounded by many flowers, which made diners aware of the situation between them. The NPCs were surprised but knew Bai Chao was interested in Ah Chen, so they were relatively calm. The other Adventurers, however, wondered if they could also flirt with NPCs.

This led to someone trying to flirt with a restaurant waiter, which ended in a beating and even being blacklisted by the restaurant.

This person was asking for trouble, probably forgetting that this wasn’t the outside world. They thought saying something lewd wouldn’t matter, but they learned a lesson.

After having dinner and planning to take a stroll, Ah Chen saw a female Adventurer chatting and laughing with a handsome NPC guy.

She paused for a moment.

On the fourth morning, Ah Chen opened her door and saw Bai Chao waiting outside.

Just then, the door next to them opened too, and seeing the two, the person wasn’t surprised; they heard about it yesterday.

The person came over smilingly and said, ”Brother Bai, Sister Li, both of you have something good going on. Can we get a discount on things?”

I hope I won’t get beaten up, right?

Bai Chao, however, was ruthless: ”Our good fortune has nothing to do with you, does it? But you reminded me, I should actually raise prices, since I’m in love.”

The Adventurer who just asked was stunned; damn! What a heartless merchant!

Watching their backs, he still heard Bai Chao call back, ”He won over two hundred thousand in the card room before; I wonder if he’ll come to buy something from me today. I’ll sell him at a high price.”

He definitely won’t go buy anything today!!

At the cinema entrance, you do need to buy tickets, but luckily the price wasn’t high.

Not everyone is as well-off as Ah Chen; many people’s faces were grim. They seemed to have very little funds left. If not for Bai Chao, they’d barely have money for a ticket.

But without Bai Chao, they might not have made it to the fourth day.

Ah Chen and Bai Chao went inside, picked their seats, and waited for the movie to start.
