Chapter 339 -336: What to Do When the Salary Isn’t Enough? Waiting Online

Yan Dingtian actually still wanted to eat, but since he had acted so indifferent at the beginning, he now felt too embarrassed to speak up.

Wang Zhou called the waiter over to pay the bill, swiped his personal ID card, and then took out another card.

“Elder Yan, this is your card, used for routine expenses and also as a pass to enter some important places. I’ve already loaded it with a thousand Source Crystals. Oh, and the director said your weekly salary is five hundred Source Crystals…”

There’s a salary?

Yan Dingtian felt that the treatment wasn’t too bad, and given that delicious food was always available here, his resistance to being a captive… seemed to be waning.

The next second,

Yan Dingtian quickly shook off this inconceivable idea.

How could he possibly be a lifetime mercenary? As soon as he found a way to break the contract, he would leave this cursed place immediately.

Definitely!

“What is your salary?” Yan Dingtian asked casually.

“Only two hundred.”

“This meal?”

“Two hundred fifty.”

Yan Dingtian’s mouth twitched slightly, so his salary could only afford two meals a week?

He then saw Wang Zhou say with a look of grievance, “If it weren’t for the reimbursement today, I wouldn’t dare to order so much, but still…”

Still, he didn’t manage to eat much.

Wang Zhou didn’t dare to say that outright and quickly added, “Mainly because Mutant Beast meat is quite expensive. However… it’s only available in our Sanctuary. In other places, you can’t even buy it. There are a few places that offer dishes with Mutant Beast meat and they are really expensive, more than ten times our price here.”

When it came to gourmet food, Wang Zhou was quite knowledgeable and seemed very proud as he added:

“Ordinary ingredients are very cheap, and their taste is also quite good. Mainly, we ordered the expensive ones because there was a reimbursement. I felt embarrassed,” he said, patting his belly, “and besides, your weekly five hundred Source Crystals is just your base salary. The director said you could also receive extra Source Crystals when you are on a mission.”

The purchasing power of Source Crystals was actually significant.

Yan Dingtian had realized this during subsequent visits.

A salary of five hundred Source Crystals per week was not little, especially considering he was just a captive and with the Guardian Army in the Sanctuary, there generally was no need for him to take action personally.

The only slight regret Yan Dingtian had was that he couldn’t often taste the delicacy he had today. However, being a Transcendent Strongman, his pursuit was more on cultivation, becoming stronger, rather than the pleasures of food.

Five hundred Source Crystals a week was more than enough for him.

“I’ll take action when needed; if not, I’ll just go back to cultivating.”

“Oh sure… wait, Elder Yan, you’re going back to cultivate? Aren’t you going to the training camp?”

“Training camp?” Yan Dingtian paused in his step, “What training camp?”

Cultivation was a very personal matter; the best scenario was to find a sufficiently large and quiet residence. Although the villa provided by the Sanctuary wasn’t luxurious, its location was adequate, barely meeting Yan Dingtian’s requirements.

However, according to the chubby young man’s description, it seemed the Sanctuary had communal cultivation places?

Cultivation places that were communal?

Yan Dingtian found it implausible; even if such places existed, they could only meet the needs of basic Awakeners. But he had learned to be smart this time, not rashly questioning without truly understanding, just waiting for Wang Zhou’s explanation.

Training areas for the basic and advanced levels, Spirit Space…

Yan Dingtian’s mouth briefly fell open then quickly shut as he struggled to maintain his composure.

“Cough, so the Gravity Room really has a hundred times gravity? The Spirit Space can simulate enemies, allowing battles without fear of death? And Cultivation Rooms where the concentration of Source Qi is several times higher than the outside?”

This…

Yan Dingtian felt a bit dizzy, he needed a moment to recover.

Inside the Sanctuary, several training camps had now been established at the edge of the commercial district, the largest of which neighbored the Martial Arts Arena.

Arriving here, Yan Dingtian’s first impression was that there were a lot of people.

He furrowed his brows.

Not lingering in the Basic training area, he followed Wang Zhou directly to the Advanced training area, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the surrounding training equipment.

Not bad, but basically useless to him.

When they reached the Advanced training area, there were fewer Awakeners and it wasn’t as noisy, with most people silently training in the various facilities.

“The facilities here are limited, and most of the time they are in use, you need to queue,” Wang Zhou explained and then continued, “With your authority, all the facilities in the Basic training area are free to use, and you can also enjoy a fifth-level discount in the Advanced area…”

Hearing about the fees, Yan Dingtian had an unpleasant premonition. He carefully inquired Wang Zhou about the prices of various training facilities and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Okay, with his weekly salary of five hundred Source Crystals, he could afford it, just that the Cultivation Room with a high concentration of Source Qi was a bit expensive… But the chubby boy had also said that due to high demand for the Cultivation Room, everyone had a limited time to use it, so he couldn’t spend too many Source Crystals there after all.

Not having to worry about Source Crystals, at most… the two big meals per week that he used to enjoy would have to be reduced to one big meal every three to five weeks for the sake of cultivation.

‘No harm done.’

‘What is the indulgence of food compared to cultivation, which is of the utmost importance? With the Cultivation Room and Gravity Room, my strength will definitely improve more quickly, and breaking the contract will no longer be so elusive!’

‘Besides, five hundred Source Crystals per week should be sufficient for me to cultivate indefinitely!’

While Yan Dingtian was contemplating, he didn’t stop walking and soon arrived at the final area, the Spirit Space.

At the Transcendent level, rarely having an opponent, most of the time he could only enhance his strength bit by bit through bitter cultivation, with practically no experience in fighting against opponents of the same rank… It had been some time since he broke through to Transcendent, and aside from one serious encounter against a Catastrophe Level Demonized Beast, he had not had any combat experience at this level.

Well, that time he was blasted by the black-haired girl and doubted his life did not count.

However, once he entered the Spirit Space, he could quickly accumulate experience and even attempt to perfect his Combat Skills.

“Wait, you’re saying the hourly fee here is five times that of the Gravity Room?!”

Yan Dingtian did a quick calculation and realized that his weekly salary was not nearly enough for the training he needed!

It was said that the Spirit Space also had various value-added services…

A kind of pressure, called insufficient wages, heavily weighed on his shoulders.

The Spirit Space area was located on the top floor of the training camp.

They were standing in the circular hall at the entrance, with several passages around them leading to small rooms used to enter the space.

Yan Dingtian stopped thinking and decided to practice first:

“How do I open the room, I would like to purchase two hours of usage time.”

Wang Zhou pointed to a giant cylindrical counter in the central area of the circular hall:

“You can find a vacant room there, choose the duration, swipe your card to pay, and then use your personal identity card to open the selected room…”

As Yan Dingtian stepped forward to look for a space room, the conversations of the surrounding Awakeners reached his ears.

“The Spirit Space finally launched a new mode! It’s said to be called ‘Trial Tower’!”

“Still just said?” someone scoffed, “It’s eight twelve now, and the ‘Trial Tower’ mode was officially launched twelve minutes ago. There should already be people trying it, but none of this is important. What’s important is, for the first three days after the launch of the ‘Trial Tower,’ clearing certain levels will earn high rewards officially provided by the Sanctuary…”

Hearing the word rewards, Yan Dingtian’s eyes lit up.

He was in dire need of Source Crystals, and here was an opportunity delivered to his doorstep!

As for that so-called tower, Yan Dingtian wasn’t sure what it entailed, but as a Transcendent, no matter the challenge, he was confident enough to face it!
