Luo Nan understood the gym master’s meaning, but his thoughts were unable to turn around for a time. He hesitated in his answer.
Gym Master Xiu produced even clearer points. ”You are a student. You have other matters to attend to. I can teach you, but do you have enough time to take in and absorb my teachings?”
Luo Nan was speechless. He realized that this was indeed an extremely realistic problem. Going to school and taking the Society general knowledge classes daily. Doing the Frost River Reality exercise, which would use up his soul strength everyday. Plus, he had his own research on Formatting Theory... Every item was time-consuming.
Of course, the daily schedule was much easier now that he did not need to produce drugs everyday. It was not impossible to squeeze out a bit more time. However, this time was bound to be scattered, fractured, and unacceptable. Would he be able to guarantee good learning results in this case?
Luo Nan looked at Xue Lei. Xue Lei was also stupefied. Clearly, he did not think about this.
In the end, it was Gym Master Xiu who suggested a realistic approach. ”Write up a schedule. Write down your entire day on a schedule and give it to me to look at.”
”Oh, sure.”
Luo Nan already had a schedule ready and made. It was the training program He Yueyin drew up the last time she visited. All Luo Nan needed to do was erase a few details about the course names and give it to the gym master.
Luo Nan was going to send it to Gym Master Xiu, but he suddenly discovered that Gym Master Xiu was not wearing a wristband.
Xue Lei rushed and spoke, ”You can just give it to me. The gym master isn't used to using electronics.”
”Uh, okay.”
Xue Lei received the information. Then, he connected it to a printer in the corner of the training grounds and operated it.
Luo Nan was a bit surprised. Wristbands were not just a communications tool for modern citizens; they were integrated with proof of identities, social privileges, asset credits, and other details for passage. No one noticed the power of these wristbands, but once one lost theirs, they would immediately experience the feeling of being unable to move a single step in society.
Luo Nan's uncle worked for the SCA. His uncle had taught the kids specific topics on social experiences, which left a very deep impression on Luo Nan.
The machine buzzed as paper passed through it. Finally, Luo Nan matched Gym Master Xiu with his preconceived image of an old-fashioned character. Was this not a passable reason to explain the gym master?
Xue Lei brought the printed schedule over. Gym Master Xiu lowered his head and skimmed through it. He calmly said, ”Who arranged it?”
Luo Nan was startled, but Xue Lei laughed before he could respond. ”Is it Secretary He?”
”Yes, you're right. It's Sister He.”
Gym Master Xiu shook the paper lightly, which caused it to sound out with a crack. Then, he placed the paper on the low table and placed a cup that he had been playing around with upon it.
”It's quite decent. You still have the time to sleep... If you want to learn my breathing techniques, you must ensure that you get at least six hours of sleep a night. Learning to breathe shall start with sleep.”
Luo Nan was stupefied, and he instinctively turned to look at Xue Lei. Xue Lei gave him a wink and motioned for him to agree to it.
But Gym Master Xiu spoke before Luo Nan could talk. ”No need to rush in your answer. Go back and think it over. Think of whether or not you can maintain steady work and rest. Then, make your decision.”
Then, Gym Master Xiu raised a hand and motioned that Luo Nan could leave.
That was it? This big gym master... Was he easy to talk to? Or hard to talk to?
Luo Nan was a bit unused to it, and his mind was sluggish. He followed Xue Lei's lead, saluted to Gym Master Xiu, and bid his farewells.
The two went back through the same corridor. On the way, Luo Nan was still wondering, ”Learning to sleep...”
