Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 924: Battle Stages

Despite Xu Fengʼs arrival at the Training Hall, none of the members on the stage greeted him. It wasnʼt that they were trying to disrespect him or anything, but it was the feature of the battle stage.

To ensure that their focus and concentration was at the maximum, the battle stage appeared transparent and empty to the players outside.

However, the truth was that those participating in the battle stage were experiencing a whole different scenario.

To simplify, the experience was similar to actors acting on a green screen and people using CGI (Computer-generated imagery) and VFX (Visual Effect) to enhance or add effects.

Therefore, the members would remain immersive and not be distracted by any external factors.

”Can we also give this a test?” Iceheart asked, her interest and curiosity piqued. She had been to multiple arenas, but none of them were like the ones that Xu Feng built.

”Of course, you can.” Xu Feng gladly agreed to it.

Iceheart was about to thank him with a bright smile until she heard his next words.

”10 silver coins per entry.” He calmly said.

”...”

Iceheartʼs mouth twitched in disbelief when she was once again reminded that he was a money grubber. You could never converse with him properly unless you have money.

”Hereʼs 10 silver coins.” Gentle Wind suddenly retrieved 10 silver coins. ”Can I partake in it right away?”

Accepting the 10 silver coins, Xu Feng opened his system panels and shook his head.

”Unfortunately, youʼll have to wait around 15 minutes. Thereʼs a large queue behind.”

Upon hearing that, Gentle Wind frowned a bit.

As if afraid of any misunderstandings, Xu Feng explained, ”The stages were all reserved in advance from their own pocket money. Of course, the reservation is only applicable for the day specifically. Once itʼs determined that the reservation surpassed a day, no one else could reserve anymore.”

Although it sounded complicated at first glance, Gentle Wind was quick to understand the information.

It was stated to be a reservation, but the method and operation was vastly different from the usual reservation.

From Xu Fengʼs words, no one was able to make reservations ahead of the day. In other words, the so-called reservation was just to buy themselves a queue slot for the present day.

If the present day was filled up, determined by the system, no more queue slots would be available for purchase. They had to wait till the next day when the system reset.

”Isnʼt this a very deliberate scam? Iceheart hissed and glared at Xu Feng. ”Guild Leader Gentle Wind paid but still had to wait. What about your guild members?”

Naturally, she wasnʼt referring to the waiting time. Instead, she was talking about how his guild members might not have to pay. To summarize, the Vanguard Guild members could essentially keep reserving as soon as they finished their session.

Hearing that, Xu Feng realized that she had a misconception. ”Oh, I forgot to mention this. The guild members have to pay as well. If they canʼt afford silver coins, then they must use the GMP to cover the cost.”

”How much do they pay?”

”8 silver coins or 80 GMP.”

”Is that applicable to every member?” Iceheart pressed on.

”Higher ranked pay less.” Xu Feng gladly answered in full honesty. ”Regular members pay 8 silver coins, elite members pay 6 silver coins, Guild Captain pays 4 silver coins, Guild Commander pays 2 silver coins. As for Vice Guild Leader… the position is vacant.”

Iceheart held a stiff smile upon hearing the listing of the price.

The ratio of coins to GMP was 1:2, so even their Guild Commander had to pay 20 GMP or 2 silver coins to use the facility.

However, what caught her attention was that a regular member had to pay 8 silver coins. Yet they had to pay 10 silver coins?

”Guild Leader Lin Feng, does this arena not apply to the benefit from the chamber of commerce?” Gentle Wind furrowed her brows and asked. Had she known the price was set up like this, then she wouldnʼt have paid that quickly.

”Oh, the benefit is already applied though.” To her astonishment though, Xu Feng revealed that he took the membership into account.

”The members of the chamber of commerce could access the Training Hall without requiring to pay for other membership. But for those who arenʼt, they have to pay 25 silver coins in a single transaction fee to become a member to be granted access.”

Both Gentle Wind and Iceheart paused for a brief moment as they stared at each other. The two of them held a look of disbelief and exhaustion after learning of the business motto.

While the two were rendered speechless, three battle stages in the front began to open up, signifying the end of a session.

”Perfect timing.” Xu Feng suddenly exclaimed and called for the three members.

When the three members spotted their Guild Leader, their expression was a mix of revered and astonished.

Without hesitation, they rushed ahead and greeted him.

”Jacob, Garrett, and Nash, the three of you shall spar with these three.”

Xu Feng then pointed at SilentWhisper, Steelshot, and Flame Bird. These three had been silent throughout their journey. After all, their superior was present, so they didnʼt dare to talk.

Nevertheless, Xu Feng was positive that these three have been messaging each other along the way.

So to ensure that both Gentle Wind and Iceheart could understand the effect of the Training Hall, he planned on letting their members spar with his own.

Gentle Wind didnʼt respond right away but turned to SilentWhisper and Steelshot.

Steelshot flashed a cold smile as he stepped forward. ”Allow me to spar with them, Guild Leader.”

Ever since Steelshot learned his lesson from the Scorched Caverns dungeon, he had practiced and improved his combat experience. Now was a chance for him to shine and show Xu Feng—the culprit who made him suffer that he was different.

Seeing his determination, Gentle Wind nodded and glanced at Xu Feng. ”Steelshot will go first.”
