Chapter 152 - Basic Training Environment (2/2)

It was clear from his tone that Leon felt sad that Yerman was in such a state. They had the rivalry that inspired one another and as an expert, he found it hard that someone who could have been the same as him fell to a state, where he would be known as a crazy lecherous man.

”I know him pretty well. It makes sense. He tells the wildest stories about his expeditions but most of his descriptions though far fetched seem to be quite plausible. We always thought he was someone like us who lost the use of his limbs in a research accident or something,” said Robert as he recollected his talks with the old guy.

”No. Poison and burn damage. It reduced him to his state. Quite a decent amount of money was expended to try and recover him, but now no one finds a use for him. Even his family let him be,” said Leon. Ever since that incident, Leon had a lingering fear at the bottom of his heart that the same could happen to him and he trained much worse due to that fear. It was the reason that he always involved himself in knowing of other's research in medicine and surveillance tech as he feared betrayal at the bottom of his heart anything.

”I can talk and suggest it to him if you are interested,” said Robert looking at Balthazar.

”Sure. Why don't we all go and meet him once we return,” said Balthazar. ”Apart from him, we can still have more people join us. Hopefully, I will get a reply from some of my contacts in the military,” continued Balthazar looking at Ellie.

”Ya. It is always better to have more minds. If I have ever learned anything, it is that there is no fixed correct path for anything. It all depends on person and we need multiple view to provide an environment that would benefit a number of people,” said Ellie.

”That leaves us with you. What do you need for creating this?” asked Balthazar.

”Need a workspace, something like this. Then, personnel for the same. I can get that,” she said cheerfully. ”Once we have some concrete plans to start, we would need to buy another space to create the environment. It would not be like the trials space offered by samsara technology. You would need to rent a decent amount of virtual space or set up a large server room for it.”

”I expected the space requirements and have already been looking into it. I needed to know what you and your team would need,” said Balthazar waving his hand. Though the Crimson Realm guild never had its own training space for its members, it did manage to borrow a few facilities from a quasi-super guild for a limited period of time. He had a good idea of what would be required and if he planned to make his own guild, a super guild, he would also need plans to expand this much further.

”I am actually not sure of what the requirements would be. I need to get a decent idea of it before I can even decide on the number of personnel that I would require in my team,” said Ellie.

Balthazar also realized that it was true. It was always data that had limited people. Any creation would require a large amount of data for it. He couldn't borrow the training systems of his family and was sure that he would be refused that data. Even if he or his sister ended up the Patriarch, he was sure that he would be suppressed if he suggested anything that would enable people out of the family would get a hold of their knowledge.

He had no option but to recruit trainers for his guild before he manages to make anything out of it. ”I still have a decent amount of time, it is still the third day,” thought Balthazar as he calmed down. His main concern was that he didn't ever know how much time a super guild would take to set up their own training system.

”Where in the game are you two located, right now?” asked Balthazar.

”Yes,” said Ellie. ”Lizzie Bizzie at gray sword city. Trade profession player, engineering and forging.”

Balthazar had completely expected that to be what she is doing at the game. She had a thing for developing weapons and he was sure that there is a good chance she might follow the same path in the game.

”I am actually in White Heart City, but still at level 10. Didn't really play for long time,” said Robert.

”I'll be leaving now. It is not like I understand what you kids are talking about,” said Leon interrupting them as he turned to leave.

”Wait, Master Leon,” said both Ellie and Balthazar.

”You best try it with Yerman. The others I know would probably not want to work for a game,” said Leon thinking that they were hoping he could provide any more information. He knew that experts would look down on such a game and consider it a waste of time.

”No, it isn't that. Why don't you play the game? It is fun and relaxing,” said Balthazar. ”Moreover, the time dilation lets you have a lot more free time. You could just try it out during your sleep hours.”

Balthazar didn't really care much about Leon's entertainment, but he wanted to increase his rapport with him and also hoped that he would be of some help in the game. He knew that the star players of the gaming industry would soon see a shift. Many new players would come and the guilds would be forced to accept them to maintain their standing.

Apart from that, he understood that Leon was a very strong person and a good teacher. Being the weapons master, he also held quite a number of resources and prestige in the family. It would be a lot easier if he wanted any technology or weapons from the family, if he had a better relationship with him.

”It is just.... I don't think it is worth my time,” said Leon.

”He did say that you can only try it when you sleep, right?” said Ellie sarcastically rolling her eyes.

”When do you think I work with your uncle and the team?” asked Leon back and left.

”Just suggesting giving it a try sometime,” said Ellie as he left. ”You might actually enjoy it.”

”Ok. Forget him. Can you meet Crimson Power? I will inform him and you both can meet to discuss. You don't even need to consider fighting techniques with humanoid, but even most people fall down to monsters in the game. If you can create a room based on the monsters also. We can start up right now,” said Balthazar.

He had used training rooms which allow you to battle with humanoids, but most monsters in the game were not so. They usually overwhelm the players with numbers. So, the basic training always involved fighting these monsters. Unlike the monsters in the game, dying while fighting in training room would not make players lose experience. So, they soon try new stuff and tend to be more daring and inclined towards learning to fight than keeping themselves safe in such an environment.

This would help most players to start on the path of improving their techniques. Apart from techniques, it was always important for a fighter to have ample ability to observe their enemies to discern their movement and attacks. It would enable them to react better and counterattack. Fighting a number of monsters in such an environment would soon or later cultivate this skill too. This was the most basic of the training that they required. It was essential for a guild.
