Chapter 1047: Delivery Of The Drying Rack

May 18th, Friday…

It was past 10 AM in the morning. Qiao Liang struggled to get out of bed.

“My back…”

Qiao Liang groaned and moved towards the bathroom, preparing to wash up.

The muscles on his entire body, especially his upper body, were extremely sore. He felt like he was about to lose control of his body.

He could not feel it normally. It turned out that walking required so much muscle on the upper half of the body. It was now very obvious to his senses.

He had enough training yesterday.

In fact, the game had already brought him to do warm-up exercises before the training. After the training ended, it had also brought him to do stretching exercises. In addition, during the training process, it reminded him many times that he had to work hard for the first exercise. In the end, it had even forced him to go offline to rest.

However, Qiao Liang did not take it to heart because he felt very good about himself.

Even when he was forced to go offline by the game, he still felt that he had energy left. It did not seem to be a problem to train for another fifteen minutes even though he was tired.

Yet, his sore muscles taught him a lesson when he woke up today.

However, the satisfaction that he had obtained after the training had lasted until today.

Previously, his work and rest were not very regular. He often played games and stayed up late. He also lacked exercise. Relying on eating alone was not enough even though Fish-Catching Take-Out could guarantee his diet.

His physical condition would also directly affect his mental state. After waking up today, Qiao Liang felt refreshed, and his mind seemed to be much clearer.

He had just finished washing up when someone knocked on his door.

Qiao Liang opened the door and saw two young men from Upwind Logistics. They were dragging a huge suitcase behind them. Obviously, the smart fitness drying rack that he had ordered last night had been delivered to his doorstep.

“You’ve worked hard, please come in.”

Qiao Liang quickly dodged and let the two young men into the house.

He knew that this smart fitness drying rack weighed more than two hundred kilograms. It was still quite tiring even though the logistics man would definitely give a lot of commission for such a huge piece.

Qiao Liang’s muscles might be aching and it was difficult for him to move but he still forced himself to go up and help.

“Don’t worry, leave it to us.”

The two young men declined Qiao Liang’s good intentions. They opened the boxes at the entrance and prepared to install them.

“Where do you plan to store it?” A young man asked for Qiao Liang’s opinion.

Qiao Liang had already thought about it. He came to an empty space in the living room. “Just leave it here.”

The Binhu District that he was in was originally a district that could not be sold. The style of the residential area was very strange. There was a huge semi-circular floor-to-ceiling window that allowed one to see the artificial lake outside.

After Liang Qingfan’s modification, the semi-circular huge floor-to-ceiling window was perfectly used. The layout of the entire living room was much more reasonable, and there was a clear functional division.

However, the Sloth Apartments’ renovation style was minimalistic, so there was still a lot of spare space.

The place that Qiao Liang chose now had enough space to set up the smart fitness drying rack. The lighting was very good. He could see the lake outside and the television in the living room. It was perfect.

The two logistics guys obviously agreed with the choice of this position. They quickly took out various parts of the smart fitness drying rack from the box and began to install it.

They had obviously gone through professional training. They knew which parts to take first and which parts to take later. The entire installation process was fast and efficient.

Qiao Liang watched from the side. He realized that it would be difficult for him to help out even if he wanted to. Thus, he enjoyed this convenient service in peace.

In less than twenty minutes, the two men had finished assembling the entire smart fitness drying rack.

They repeatedly tested the installation of the various parts and checked if there were any places that were not reliable. Finally, they were satisfied and took away all the trash like bubble membranes used for packaging equipment parts.

“If you have any questions, you can call the sales assistant at any time,” said the logistics man.

Qiao Liang thanked them again and sent the two delivery men away.

He did not even have to throw the boxes and rubbish himself. The delivery man had taken all the rubbish away. Compared to twenty minutes ago, there was only one more smart fitness drying rack in the house.

“Activate it first and collect the gift bags!”

Even though Qiao Liang’s entire body was aching and it would be a little strenuous to train, he still plugged in the smart fitness drying rack and sat down.

That was because every smart fitness drying rack could activate a professional gift bag with various rare items inside. Qiao Liang was still thinking about those beautiful dresses.

After logging into the game, the character in the game asked him about his current physical condition very considerately. He wanted to verify if yesterday’s training schedule was appropriate.

After Qiao Liang chose ‘sore muscles’ and selected ‘6’ based on his own feelings from ‘1 to 10’, the game system automatically adjusted today’s training plan for him, reduced the weighting and lowered the number of movements, and gave him some suggestions on food.

“That’s quite thoughtful.”

“It looks like the project team in charge of developing this product really knows how to work out. There’s nothing to nitpick on in all aspects.”

Immediately after, Qiao Liang connected the tablet computer to the smart fitness drying rack through Bluetooth.

It was different from the previous experience at the Deposit Fitness. This time, an activation notification popped up on the page: The current account could receive a gift bag after being tied to this smart fitness drying rack. It was limited to one time. Moreover, after activating it, the artificial intelligence AEEIS on the smart fitness drying rack could be activated, and it could be used to cooperate with daily training.

The smart fitness drying rack at the Deposit Fitness was for public use and was a sample for display. Thus, AEEIS’s function was not activated.

Qiao Liang instinctively felt a sense of danger when he saw the name AEEIS.

He had already experienced the vicious tongue of AEEIS on the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine. What kind of scene would it be if this thing appeared on the smart fitness drying rack again?

However, Qiao Liang was more curious. Since this thing was called a ‘smart’ fitness drying rack and it was paired with AEEIS artificial intelligence, he had to experience it, right?

After all the preparatory work was done, Qiao Liang began the lucky draw.

Compared to the previous lucky draw, the quality of the lucky draw this time had obviously risen by more than one level. The items that were drawn were not ordinary props. They were all more expensive to be sold in the shopping mall.

One of them was the little dress that Qiao Liang had found in the shopping mall yesterday and liked for a long time. He was overjoyed.

Qiao Liang prepared to go offline after the lucky draw.

That was because he had already reached his physical fitness level yesterday. The muscles on his upper body were very sore and he could not train anymore.

For example, he could not say that he could not do the chest and back movements from before. However, even if he could, it would not be very standard. The training effect might not be guaranteed.

Thus, Qiao Liang decided to rest well for the next two days. It would not be too late to train when he recovered.

However, when he pressed the exit button, the second confirmation box did not pop up as usual.

An emotionless electronic voice came from the top of his head. “You trained with vigor yesterday. I repeatedly reminded you to pay attention to your rest, but you didn’t listen. You wilted today and wanted to run away after receiving an award?”

The sudden sound almost scared Qiao Liang.

That was because AEEIS’s voice did not come from his cell phone. Instead, it came from the small speaker inside the smart fitness drying rack. It was as if someone had suddenly spoken into his ear. It was very surprising to hear it for the first time.

Of course, he would get used to it.

Qiao Liang would never have thought that AEEIS would have a different host. It would no longer be on the automatic bickering machine. Instead, it had its own bickering attribute.

Obviously, this was AEEIS’s reaction based on the game account’s data after logging in to his account.

There was a fitness schedule in ‘Fitness Battle’. The game would assign fitness tasks to players. This task would be adjusted according to the players’ actual situation.

At the same time, there were detailed records of how many days, hours, and movements players practiced in a week. These could provide data for AEEIS.

Qiao Liang had been forced to go offline yesterday. Today, he only received a reward and wanted to go offline. This abnormal behavior obviously attracted AEEIS’s attention.

Qiao Liang still replied subconsciously even though he knew that the person speaking to him was an artificial intelligence. “My muscles are sore and I can’t train anymore!”

He sounded very confident because his muscles were really sore.

AEEIS: “According to the schedule, most of the training yesterday was on the upper body, mainly the chest, back, and arms.”

“Today’s schedule is mainly to train your legs and waist. The amount of training has also been adjusted according to your physical condition. Please don’t waste a day of precious training time.”

Qiao Liang was speechless. “Erm…”
