People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Seeing Lucifer's expression of "I understand, but not completely," Bai Yu chuckled and said, "Actually, it looks alright, but if it were during peak workout hours... it would be quite an eyesore..."

Lucifer tilted his head in confusion, while Cerberus stammered, "Master... White Feather White Feather White Feather! Is there anything offensive about it?"

Kraki said with a hint of helplessness, "It's those kinds of bodybuilding fanatics with huge muscles who work out in a terrifyingly intense way, some even... to the point of madness... like wild beasts..."

Upon hearing this, Lucifer swallowed hard. She seemed to have already guessed what was going on inside. Just thinking about it made her eyes water! In comparison, Bai Yu's well-proportioned muscles, not those sculpted, bulky ones, were much more attractive.

Bai Yu said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's not peak season now, so there will probably be four or five people at most. Klaqi, you have experience, so I don't need to teach you, right?"

Kraki whispered, "Actually, Mr. Shiraha... I'd like to try some new equipment~ I still don't know how to use it~"

"Alright, let's go in then..."

"Yeah!" x3

Once inside, the group went through a standard procedure involving various verifications of membership cards. Lucifer and Cerberus simply read out their card numbers, since their cards were in Kirari's possession.

When they got to Bai Yu, Bai Yu looked for his membership card and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to carry your gym membership card with you, Klaqi."

Kraki said proudly, "Of course! Fitness is an attitude!"

The service staff member, who was about to verify the card, agreed, saying, "Miss, that's a very apt statement! You must be someone who works out regularly!"

Kraki smiled and waved her hand, saying, "After all, working out makes you prettier... Eh? Miss, what's wrong?"

Kraki looked on in confusion as the receptionist froze after swiping her card. The receptionist rubbed her eyes before exclaiming incredulously, "A...a lifetime membership?!"

When Klara heard the word, she paused for a moment before asking in confusion, "Huh? What did you say... a lifetime membership?!"

Lucifer asked doubtfully, "Is it that shocking? What's wrong with a lifetime membership? Is it that strange?"

Klaxie said blankly, "Of course... Silverman Gym doesn't offer lifetime memberships, the maximum term is twenty years, right, Miss Receptionist..."

The receptionist nodded and said, "Indeed, the maximum membership period is only twenty years, but the owner of Silverman has given out a few lifetime membership cards before, so... Mr. Bai Yu! It's a real honor for you to come here! Please come to the reception area for a photo after you finish your workout!"

Bai Yu nodded. Silverman Gym and some boxing gyms keep photos of world champions or people with great achievements who have come from their gyms. These are the best ways to attract customers.

Klara looked at Bai Yu with shining eyes and said, "Mr. Bai Yu! How did you get this card?!"

Lucifer and the others were also curious about this, and Bai Yu had nothing to hide. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Well, after the match, someone claiming to be the owner of Silverman Gym wanted me to become a coach. I refused, but he insisted on taking me for coffee. Then he asked me all sorts of questions about fighting, and then he insisted that a friend had given me a card, saying that..."

Lucifer asked somewhat urgently, "What did you say?"

Bai Yu said with a strange expression, "He said, 'My friend, even if you don't want to be a coach, you can still come to the gym. Here's a card; you'll get the best equipment here! Looking forward to seeing you again!' Then he left."

Klaxie said blankly, "Oh~ so Mr. Shiraha, you're friends with the owner of Silverman Gym?!"

Bai Yu said somewhat helplessly, "He insists he's my friend, there's nothing I can do... but he seems like a decent person, however..."

"However?" x4

Bai Yu said somewhat displeased, "But the coffee that day... even with so much sugar and milk, it still didn't smell good... that's outrageous."

Kraki covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "It's probably super strong black coffee. But Manager Shiraha, you're surprisingly different from those men. They just drink their coffee without adding anything."

Lucifer chuckled and said, "Bai Yu once said that people who drink like this with their partners to prove they're mature men are pretty stupid. I agree. Isn't it obvious whether someone likes to drink or not just by looking at them?"

"It's true! Most men drink it with a bitter face and have to force a smile~ Mr. Bai Yu is definitely different!"

"Let's skip the flattery; after all, many people do that. Let's go to the gym first. Oh, and miss, could you find me a female instructor to teach her yoga?"

"no problem!"

Watching Lucifer and Cerberus being dragged away by Kraki to change clothes, Bai Yu sighed and said, "Why do I always feel like something's not quite right when I come to the gym..."

Despite her complaints, Bai Yu quietly went to the men's changing room to change. Just as Bai Yu entered, the four girls from the street earlier also walked over.

Sōryūin Akemi clenched her fist and shouted, "Alright! Let's keep training like this until lunchtime!"

"Okay!" x2

Hibiki Sakura swallowed hard and exclaimed, "Lunch...lunch?! Akemi! It's only a little past eight, almost nine! You're going to exercise until lunchtime?!"

"Just keep pushing forward! Let your muscles scream!"

"Oh!" x2

"Hey?! You two got all fired up too?! Hey! Wait for me!"

Chapter 219: Shop Upgrade, Royal Sakura Girls' Academy (Please Subscribe~)

Bai Yu was sitting in the changing room. Just as mentioned at the beginning, because it wasn't a rest day, there weren't many people there, so the gym seemed rather deserted.

Bai Yu had two happy things today. The first was that when he left the shop, the shopkeeper reminded him that the shop had met the requirements for upgrading. In order not to surprise Klara too much, the shop was also changed to upgrade when he went to participate in the competition, because that way there would be a reason for the change. Bai Yu did not want many people to know about the other world.

The second thing is that, just as Lucifer expected, this shop upgrade allows us to go to other worlds, but we can only go to the worlds of guests who have visited before, and we need their permission to go, but we only need to get their permission once.

Bai Yu hasn't told Lucifer about this yet, because if Lucifer knew, she definitely wouldn't be able to concentrate on her workout today, so she'd better tell her tonight.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief, changed his clothes, and went out. Try not to take off your clothes in the gym! Although women may not mind, it is still an unseemly and impolite behavior. Secondly, if people use the same equipment in a row, sweat stains may be left on it, which will be very annoying for the next person.

After a quick warm-up, Bai Yu went outside. To be honest, anyone who changes clothes at the gym and steps out of the locker room feels a sense of challenge.

There were very few people in the gym, only four or five, and one or two of them looked quite overweight. However, the trainer was still there giving instructions, and the people around either ignored him or just walked by and offered some encouragement.

At the gym, no one cares how fat you are or how weak you are. If you already have a great physique, you don't need to come here. People come here either to sculpt a more perfect body or to lose weight. People who strive to become better are worthy of respect.

The sweat that flows, the effort you grit your teeth to persevere, the low growls when you feel like giving up—these are all proof of your hard work, and proof that earns your affirmation. (A word of advice: Don't be afraid to embarrass yourself while working out; ask questions when you need to, but don't pretend to know what you don't, or take pictures after just one workout—that's very annoying.)

Bai Yu glanced at a middle-aged man jogging, walked over, and said with a smile, "Sir, if you want to avoid getting so tired, don't just breathe through your nose!"

As Bai Yu spoke, he walked onto the treadmill to warm up. After hearing this, the man turned around and glanced at Bai Yu before quickly changing his breathing pattern. Once his oxygen supply increased, he didn't feel as tired while running.

There's no need to warm up for too long. Basically, after doing the warm-up exercises, walk around to fully stretch your muscles before you start. When it comes to fitness, never just do cardio or strength training, otherwise you won't see much effect.

Bai Yu walked about 300 meters before getting off the treadmill. He glanced at the middle-aged man next to him, who was a bit overweight but whose vest was completely soaked with sweat, and nodded. He knew that his current efforts would be rewarded.

"Zhu Mei! Hurry up! I'm going to do bench presses first!"

"it is good!"

Just as Bai Yu was about to go find Kraki and Cerberus, he saw a blonde girl wearing a black vest and red athletic shorts run out. Just as the girl had said, she went straight to the bench press area to start practicing.

Bai Yu nodded. It was 30 kilograms in total, including the pole. This weight wasn't a problem, since adding a 5-pound counterweight on each side was quite easy.

Bai Yu had originally planned to do bench presses first, but seeing this, she decided to go find Klaqi first. After all, although the Cerberus gym equipment was no challenge for her, she still needed to be taught how to use it.

Just as Bai Yu turned around, he suddenly paused. He seemed to have vaguely seen something wrong. After thinking for a moment, Bai Yu immediately realized what was going on and quickly walked towards the girl's location.

"three..."

"Four... Huh? Huh?! Why is it crooked?! Ah!!"

Just as the girl was doing her fourth repetition, one of the weight plates hanging on the right side finally fell down. In that instant, the girl's entire barbell tilted to one side, but just as it tilted, it was firmly held down by a hand.

The girl opened her eyes and let out a long sigh of relief. Looking up, she saw a very delicate face – it was Bai Yu. After attaching the weight plates and lifting the barbell to the hook, Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Are you alright?"

The girl sat up and stared blankly at Bai Yu, who was dressed in a black gym outfit, saying, "It's okay, by the way! Thank you! That was really scary..."

Bai Yu said with a smile, "You didn't look at the weight plates on both sides just now. Not only were they not locked, but one of them was still on the very edge of the bar. Next time, you need to look carefully before practicing. When you're doing strength training like bench press alone, you need to be careful."

The girl nodded, her face slightly flushed, then coughed lightly and said, "Sir... um... is that too much to call someone old?"

"Just call me Bai Yu~"

"Okay, Brother Baiyu, why haven't I seen you work out here before? Is this your first time here?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... This is your first time at Silverman. I've practiced at other Silverman locations before. You seem to be a beginner. Beginners should practice with experienced friends or find a coach."

Upon hearing this, the girl nodded repeatedly and said, "I came with an experienced friend, and we also hired a coach, but it seems that the coach has something come up and won't be able to come until noon."

Bai Yu nodded and then asked with some curiosity, "Looks like a student. Isn't today a workday? Why are you at the gym?"

"Because our school has recently switched to flexible class schedules, it seems like there's something going on at school. If you want to attend a class, you can go and there are teachers giving lectures, but it seems like there are far fewer classes now, so we came to the gym!"

Bai Yu was taken aback and said in confusion, "Huh? What school has such a rule? This must really affect your studies."

"No, no~ It's just that the rumor is that it's only for the next two weeks. If you want to study, just go to school. But there won't be a school trip this year! As for which school, it's the Royal Sakura Girls' Academy! Also, Shiraha-nii! My name is Sakura Hibiki!"

"Eh?"

Upon hearing the name of the academy, Bai Yu paused for a moment. Could it really be such a coincidence? It seemed he always encountered strange things when he came to the gym...

Chapter 220 Cerberus's Instinct Awakening (Please subscribe~)

Bai Yu could think of many things just by hearing about this academy. It was quite strange for Bai Yu that he didn't see many old clients inviting him when he went to participate in the Kengan competition. He originally thought that they didn't participate, but now it seems that they just didn't make a sound.

Sakura Hibiki asked in confusion, "Eh? What's wrong, Shiraha-nii?"

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I'm quite familiar with this academy, so I won't bother you any longer. You can continue practicing; too much rest during workouts will make you lose energy."

"Ok!"

"Mr. Bai Yu! Over here!"

Just as Bai Yu was about to go find Klaqi, he saw Klaqi standing in the dumbbell area waving at him. Cerberus was sitting to the side looking at his clothes. Cerberus liked them quite a bit because they were very comfortable to wear.

"Huh? Bai Yu-ge has girlfriends? Two of them?! Well~ that's normal, I guess~"

However, Hibiki Sakura did not continue training. The bench press she had just experienced had left her traumatized, so she wanted to practice in a different place. It would be better to wait until Akemi and the others from Soryuin came out before deciding on a different location.

Hibiki Sakura said she would never do bench presses alone again, and would wait until they all came together.

On the other side, after Bai Yu taught Cerberus how to use dumbbells, Cerberus went to play with them with great enthusiasm. However, as he tried the lightest dumbbells and then the heaviest ones, Cerberus turned his head and glanced at Bai Yu.

Bai Yu seemed to have expected this and said with a hint of helplessness, "Cerberus is only this heavy. You can increase the number of repetitions in one set, or you can go running."

"running!"

Seeing Cerberus's seemingly activated state, Bai Yu suddenly thought that dogs generally love to run, and it seemed that some of Cerberus's talents had been awakened again.

Bai Yu thought for a moment and realized that Cerberus's strength training was just like lifting a ball of cotton, so she might as well let Cerberus run. It seemed that she was quite looking forward to it.

"Kraqi, wait a moment, I'll take Cerberus to the treadmill."

"Okay! I can practice on my own first!"

"Ah."

Treadmills are probably the simplest piece of equipment in a gym. You don't really need to worry about many buttons; you just need to adjust the incline and speed to get started. It's that simple. At most, you might need to be taught some warm-up exercises and breathing techniques.

After giving his instructions, Bai Yu left. Cerberus warmed up as Bai Yu had instructed, but found he couldn't feel anything, so he started operating the treadmill.

"Hmm...this seems to be the speed button..."

"Huh? This is fun! But it's so slow... Let's turn it up a bit..."

"Huh?! What's with this weird feeling?! I feel really happy!"

Hearing Cerberus's voice, Bai Yu turned his head and saw Cerberus running happily at Speed ​​9. Bai Yu shook his head and said speechlessly, "It really is a dog~ Cerberus is still a dog after all..."

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he continued walking towards Klaqi's location. At this moment, Klaqi was doing a fly exercise, which is a common exercise in fitness. Perhaps it was a bit too heavy, because Klaqi couldn't lift it very high and didn't achieve the desired effect, but it still looked quite standard.

Bai Yu walked over and took Klara's arms. Klara was startled, looked up, and blushed when she saw it was Bai Yu. She whispered, "Mr. Bai Yu, I can do it..."

Bai Yu said somewhat helplessly, "Your previous weight wasn't that heavy, right? You won't be able to handle going up so quickly. Just use the same weight after you finish this one, and you can increase the number of repetitions in one set."

"I...I'm fine..."

"I'm still okay, but I can't lift my arms, my back isn't straight, but my abs are tight~"

Kraki, still in the position where Bai Yu was supporting her arm, looked up at Bai Yu and said, "Eh? Isn't your back straight?"

"Absolutely not~ Can you really handle this?"

"OK!"

Bai Yu nodded, then took a bottle of mineral water and placed it against Klara's back, saying, "Relax. Put the dumbbells down there first, and I'll adjust your posture."

"Good~"

Klaqi was studying very seriously at this time and didn't think about many other things. However, she still had a smile on her face the whole time, and it was unclear what she was thinking. Bai Yu noticed this, but seeing that Klaqi was correcting her posture very well, he didn't say anything.

"Okay, let's try it again now."

"Hmm...Eh? Eh?!"

Bai Yu chuckled and said, "Can't lift it anymore, huh? Your form just now wasn't correct, so you could still lift it but it would hurt your muscles. Now you can't lift it at all, right? Let's switch to a more suitable weight."

Kraki puffed out her cheeks but still gave up. Although this way she could get Bai Yu to support her, her training would end after she finished, and her arms and back would be killing her.
