Chapter 441 Simulated Mech Training Ground (Part 1)
Although the words of advice from her friends yesterday eased Jiang Hui's anxiety, the problem remained and still needed to be addressed. She just hadn't expected the opportunity to come so quickly.

Before you know it, it's the weekend again. This week is a long holiday, and as usual, Jiang Hui was supposed to go back to the main continent to "stock up".

However, she has recently encountered a significant problem in her mecha research. Jiang Hui is prepared for a long-term battle and plans to resolve this module first before moving on to other things. Since something of moderate importance has come up, she has decided not to return to the main continent this week.

Although the joint training course has not officially started yet, a new module will be unlocked this week.

Jiang Hui saw it on the school's website bulletin board. The mecha simulator training ground, which was originally only open to second and third-year students, will officially open to first-year students this Saturday. Students of all levels can use the mecha simulator training ground with their personal points.

This means that they will no longer have to wait for practical training sessions to train in mecha operation, but can train anytime, anywhere—provided, of course, that they have enough personal points in their accounts.

Jiang Hui's personal points are certainly enough, already exceeding a thousand, making him stand out not only among the first-year students but also among the top in the second-year students.

These were points she had accumulated over almost half a year. Jiang Hui had watched them pile up day by day without ever using them, but now that they were finally coming in handy, of course she wanted to use them immediately.

She had originally planned to invite Hillman and the others to go together. However, they all had other commitments, so she ended up going alone.

The mech simulator training grounds, like the training grounds, are standard equipment at Beska Intermediate Academy. In fact, Beska has even more of them, all to provide students with the opportunity to train in mechs anytime, anywhere.

However, simulated training grounds are ultimately different from real training grounds. They involve some core mecha technologies and require a certain amount of energy to operate, so they cannot be openly used like some public training grounds.

If this were truly liberalized, it would result in an unimaginable and enormous expenditure.

Even with the support of the Eighth Legion, the school couldn't withstand such a constant flow of expenses. Therefore, the school set a moderately high points threshold for the mecha simulator training ground. Points, of course, cannot offset expenses, but they limit the frequency of individual use and help with the rational allocation of resources, so it has been maintained well over the years.

姜洄早就打听过了，模拟机甲实训室的使用积分一般都在10～20个积分之间，基础耗用是10个积分，延时的话会加5～10个积分。而特殊的定制场还会加5～10个积分不等。

Given Jiang Hui's total personal points, she could easily use them twenty or thirty times a year without any problem.

So early Saturday morning, she got ready to go to the simulation training ground to check in.

She just hadn't expected... well, she had expected it, but she hadn't anticipated it would become such a sensation. Like a newly opened internet-famous spot, first-year students flocked to the location early after hearing the news, eager to experience the mecha simulator training ground firsthand. Whether they'd have enough points later was another matter, but they still wanted to try something new...

There are also differences between simulated training grounds; different studios produce simulated training grounds with different styles.

It's said that some large studios offer customized versions with more features and a better user experience. Of course, these are also quite sought after, not only by first-year students but also by second and third-year students who are constantly vying for them.

The standard version is fairly standard, with all the essential features and functions, and unlike the standard version, it doesn't require an extra charge. Besides these, the school also has a number of training facilities installed in earlier years that are now somewhat outdated, known as secondary facilities. While they aren't yet due for obsolescence, they are older and offer a less satisfactory experience compared to the standard version, but they are still usable. Moreover, due to various issues, they are frequently discounted, making them a cost-effective option for some students.

However, today was unusual. First-year students flooded in, and naturally everyone wanted the best. Both customized and regular versions were basically snapped up, and some of the most popular items almost came to a head. The school, clearly experienced in handling such situations, had arranged for staff to maintain order nearby well in advance.

Jiang Hui thought she had gotten up early, but she was actually late. Some people hadn't even slept the night before and had already gone to queue up. Although she had gotten up early, she found that she couldn't even squeeze in when she got there.

She went to more than a dozen places and spent the whole morning trying to find a seat, but she still couldn't find one, which made her quite discouraged.

Then she received a belated text message from Hillman, who said he had forgotten to remind her to go early, and then asked if she had found the location.

Jiang Hui: ...

After learning about her situation, the other party sent her several unfamiliar locations, all nearby, but none of which she had seen when she used the navigation this morning.

Hillman told her that these were all lower-level simulation training grounds of Beska Intermediate Academy. These lower-level simulation training grounds were those that were used less frequently within the school, usually older ones or those with a poor user experience.

Finding a normal spot is unlikely right now, so these lower-level arenas are a good option. They might not be quite as good, but they're still good for practice. Anyway, once today's hype is over, those people will have used up most of their points, and they probably won't have as many as they did today.

In the end, she naturally accepted the offer. Then Jiang Hui asked if the other person was at home on the main continent, as she wanted to ask him to help bring back a newly released mecha auxiliary accessory from the main continent, and the other person readily agreed.

After ending the conversation, Jiang Hui hurriedly headed towards one of the nearest spots, and sure enough... there was no one there.

Well, it's not that there's no one here, but compared to a place she recently visited, this place is just too deserted.

Jiang Hui had barely arrived and hadn't even gone inside when a senior student came out, looking rather unwell. He even suddenly grabbed the wall for support after walking a short distance, appearing to be in serious trouble.

Before leaving, he glanced at Jiang Hui, who had just arrived, his expression hesitant, but in the end he said nothing and strolled away alone.

Ah, this... will there be any problems? Jiang Hui hesitated for a moment, but finally went inside.

Although it was the second session and the experience was supposedly not very good, it is still a training ground that the school regularly inspects, so... it shouldn't be too difficult for anything to go wrong, right?

Well, let's use it if it works. In the current situation, not having to queue is really the best option.
