Chapter 1153 - 697: Phoenix Nest, Tournament Kickoff, Father God, A Year Destined for the Annals of History! (Part 2)
It is roughly divided into three areas: the rest area, the training area, and the bathing area.The rest area consists of tables, chairs, benches, a large bed, a refrigerator, an oven, and other electrical appliances, as well as a large emergency medical kit; nothing particularly special beyond that.
Food and supplements are stocked halfway, and staff can be contacted at any time to refill them.
The left side is the training area, which occupies the largest portion of the preparation room.
It resembles a small-scale Martial Arts Dojo, built with materials equivalent to those used in a typical Martial Arts Family’s arena, for competitors to contemplate and train during matches.
Meng Chuan roughly feels it; although the material is decent, it still can’t bear his Fist Intent. Meditating and standing exercises, however, are no problem.
There’s not much to say about the bathing area.
Besides being used for regular washing, there’s also a small hot spring pool measuring 5×5 meters for competitors to relax in.
"Not bad."
Meng Chuan nodded quietly.
As everyone knows, when he rests, he likes soaking in hot springs to relax. Yesterday, he even took a dip in a private double bath with Yang Yuelian...
Ahem...
Finally, Meng Chuan primarily studies how to use the room’s AI brain and how to match for battles specifically.
In the left corner of the rest area stands a silver-white metal brushed cylinder, measuring 1×1 meters.
Meng Chuan can sense the unconscious entity’s spiritual fluctuations on it, which is "wild Spiritual Power."
This cylinder is the standard AI brain for every competitor’s room, with a manual on top. Meng Chuan picks it up to review.
After a moment, he understands how to use this thing.
It’s very simple, just treat this thing as your home’s Tmall Genie or Xiao Ai, and command it...
It’s all voice-controlled, with a simple-to-use method.
The first step is to connect to the AI brain using one’s own Spiritual Power.
Meng Chuan releases a slight perception, contacting the "wild Spiritual Power" he detected earlier.
After waiting three seconds, the AI brain emits a "beep," and a smiling face appears, indicating a successful connection.
The Spiritual Power mixed in that perception is retained within the AI brain’s entity for control use.
As for why Spiritual Power is used instead of a simple "Bluetooth" connection, Meng Chuan has a hypothesis:
"Involving competitors entering the spiritual world competition naturally requires their own Spiritual Power for guidance to ensure reliability.
Additionally, it prevents hacker invasions, avoiding problems with aspects managed by the AI brain like competitors’ souls and data."
The hackers Meng Chuan refers to are not "network hackers," but the eerie spiritual methods controlled by void or conceptual Celestial Demons.
As for other reasons, there are certainly deeper causes, but he is not a scientist, so he doesn’t understand them.
He confirms there are no hidden issues and decides there’s no need for warriors to research these matters...
Let’s try.
After completion of the connection, it can be used.
Meng Chuan attempts according to the manual:
"AI brain, help me join the matching queue."
The instructions indicate that within one’s preparation room, instructing the AI brain to enter the competition will place oneself in the backstage matching queue.
Then the AI brain matches players in the queue as well; upon successful matching, it guides both parties into the spiritual world. The entire process is random with no mechanisms involved.
He has experienced the remaining steps in the Beijing competition numerous times, so Meng Chuan doesn’t look closely.
Also, the surrender "safe word" is set within the AI brain.
He doesn’t use this feature; he simply skips this step since there’s no way he’d surrender.
After waiting two seconds, the same mechanical female voice from the Beijing competition emanates from the AI brain entity:
"Sorry Meng Chuan, the AI brain mainframe in the Phoenix Nest venue has not yet been activated, so you cannot join the matching queue at this time."
Meng Chuan nods knowingly; he was just testing it. The matching feature will be usable only after the competition starts tomorrow.
Thinking of something, he speaks again:
"AI brain, help me analyze the information of Meili Jian competitor, ’Dark Mamba · Kobe.’"
"Alright, Meng Chuan, I am searching...
Based on all publicly available information, Kobe’s cultivation path is ’body evolution stream,’ and his strength is at the initial stage of tier four. According to my calculations, there’s an 80% probability he’s already progressed to the mid-stage of tier four, hiding his strength. Data source is...
His combat style is primarily close-range, be especially wary of his terrifying elbow strike that hides like a viper, ready to explode at any time, and..."
"Alright, stop."
Meng Chuan nods with satisfaction.
This feature is more convenient and comprehensive compared to finding information online.
He slightly tries other functions.
In summary, except for the matching and combat function, other features are relatively basic, the household neutered version listed in the reward exchange menu.
It cannot detect Qi Blood or test lethal energy levels and the like.
Meng Chuan can understand; after all, with five thousand competitors, Great Chu doesn’t have the budget to equip everyone with a "full-blood version"...
The main purpose is to satisfy competitors’ combat and living needs in the preparation room, the neutered version is already sufficient.
If you want to experience more features, then work hard in the competition to exchange for a unit.
After the overall experience, Meng Chuan feels it’s worthwhile to exchange for one later.
"AI brain, is there any monitoring in the room?"
"Monitoring in progress... monitoring complete, there is no monitoring equipment in your room, and please be assured, Meng Chuan, according to the ’Global Martial Arts Privacy Agreement,’ the organizers will not infringe on the competitors’ private domain."
Meng Chuan nods, scanning the inside and outside of the room again with his perception.
Each preparation room wall panel is crafted from materials that isolate perception. If forcefully penetrated, it will inevitably alert the room’s owner.
