Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Chapter 75: VR room

Su Jiyai’s eyes brightened.

She had spent so much time relying on her system, and the space crystal, but now it seemed her growth demanded something more primal and physical.

Suddenly she thought of the VR room system that had introduced her.

The VR room was designed for intense physical training and combat simulations.

“It’s time to try something different,” Su Jiyai muttered to herself.

She quickly walked toward the VR room.

Su Jiyai entered the room and was immediately surrounded by a holographic interface.

Various options floated in front of her, displaying different training modules.

There were simulations for hand-to-hand combat, weapon training, and even survival scenarios.

“Let’s start with something basic,” Su Jiyai decided, selecting a hand-to-hand combat simulation. The environment around her shifted, transforming into a wide-open arena.

A holographic opponent materialized before her. It looked like a martial artist expert.

The opponent bowed, and Su Jiyai instinctively mirrored the gesture, her muscles tensing a bit.

The fight began immediately. The holographic opponent moved swiftly, launching a series of punches and kicks at Su Jiyai. She reacted on instinct, dodging and countering with movements honed in the past month.

To her surprise, the opponent was very powerful and Su Jiyai was having a hard time dealing with him.

Sweat dripped down Su Jiyai’s forehead as she parried a particularly powerful strike.

The simulation was incredibly realistic; each blow she landed on her opponent sent a shockwave of satisfaction through her.

But it wasn’t enough. She could feel the barrier preventing her breakthrough, like a wall she needed to smash through.

The opponent intensified its attacks, its strikes becoming more precise and forceful. Su Jiyai gritted her teeth, pushing herself harder, faster.

She felt her muscles strain, and her breath quicken.

Her body was screaming for her to stop, but she couldn’t—wouldn’t—stop until she broke through that wall.

Soon Su Jiyai’s stamina started to reduce and she realized how much she was lagging in her physical combat.

The Su Jiyai of one year ago was capable of fighting such holographic opponents. Not to mention, the holographic opponent in front of her was just level 1.

Su Jiyai was very dissatisfied and continued to fight, thinking she could win as long as she persisted.

However, the reality gave her a harsh slap because, after a few minutes, she lost.

Su Jiyai collapsed to the floor, her body heaving with exhaustion, as the holographic opponent faded from view.

The realization of her defeat stung more than the physical pain. She lay there, catching her breath, staring up at the ceiling of the VR room.

“How could I have fallen so far behind?” she whispered, frustration boiling inside her.

Su Jiyai pushed herself up, wobbling slightly as she stood. Her body was screaming for rest, but her mind was more determined than ever.

“One more time,” she commanded, her voice firm. She selected the same opponent, but this time, she focused not on winning, but on improving.

This time too she lost. As compared to the first round, she lost more quickly this time.

Maybe her stamina was long ago exhausted because, in the next 3 hours, Su Jiyai kept on losing against the holographic opponent of level 1.

Each time Su Jiyai motivated herself and repeatedly said,

“You are improving! You can’t give up now. You can do it!”

[Alert! The host is putting too much pressure on her body, the danger of getting fainted! The host is requested to leave the room.] A soft and gentle female robotic voice warned Su Jiyai.

It was Su Jiyai’s first time hearing some other Ai voice. Her curiosity was piqued and she asked,

“Who are you?” she asked, her voice still heavy with fatigue but tinged with curiosity.

[Hello, Host. I am the auxiliary AI assigned to the VR training room, designed to monitor your physical condition during training and ensure your safety.]

Su Jiyai blinked in surprise.

She hadn’t expected an additional AI within the system, let alone one specifically dedicated to her well-being during training.

“So you’re here to make sure I don’t push myself too hard?” she asked, a small smile forming on her lips despite her tiredness.

[Correct, Host. Your recent actions indicate a high level of stress and physical strain. Continuing at this pace without adequate rest may result in unconsciousness or injury. It is recommended that you take a break.]

Su Jiyai sighed, acknowledging the truth in the AI’s words.

She had been pushing herself repeatedly, but the sense of impending breakthrough drove her to continue.

However, the more she tried, the further away it seemed.

“Alright, I’ll take a break,” Su Jiyai finally conceded, her shoulders slumping.

She could feel the fatigue settling into her bones, her muscles trembling from overexertion.

[Thank you, Host. Your safety and progress are my priority. I will prepare a cool-down sequence for you, including light stretches and meditation exercises to help your body recover more quickly.]

Su Jiyai nodded, grateful for the AI’s assistance.

However, she was curious in her heart.

The VR room in front of her was so realistic. According to the system the place belonged to her…so this VR room should belong to her too…

“Hey, how long have you been in this world?” Su Jiyai asked casually.

The soft and gentle female voice answered,

[More than 5 decades host.]

“So you know my parents, right?” Su Jiyai asked. Her heart started to beat rapidly. She kept on feeling as if she would get her answers today.

[Yes, host.]

Su Jiyai’s heart leaped with joy and she asked in a loud voice,

“Really? You are not lying to me, right?”

[Yes, host.]

Su Jiyai patted her chest to suppress the rising anticipation in her heart.

The system, she had, never confirmed whether it knew about the existence of her parents or not, however, this auxiliary Ai knew it.

It could only mean one thing…her system knew about her parents too but misled her deliberately.

Su Jiyai didn’t have the time to dwell as to why the system didn’t tell her the truth. Now she was much more interested in knowing about her parents.

“Who was my parents? Can you tell me their identity?” She asked.

The Ai auxiliary voice was silent for a long while. With each moment, Su Jiyai felt as if she would go crazy.

Why was this AI taking such a long time?

She repeated her question in the hopes that the Ai would answer her and sure enough she heard a response from it,

[Yes I can tell you about their identity. They were humans.]

Su Jiyai waited for the Ai to continue, however, it didn’t respond any further.

“Who was my parents?” Su Jiyai asked a bit more aggressively this time.

[They were humans.]

Su Jiyai: “…” Good! Thank you for telling a human that her parents were humans.

“No! Like their names and where they live, what their occupation was, and do they have any children…etc.” Su Jiyai asked.

Su Jiyai’s frustration was mounting.

The auxiliary AI’s vague and repetitive answers were testing her patience. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself before asking again.

“Please,” she said, her voice softer this time, “tell me something specific about my parents. Their names, where they lived, anything that can help me understand them better.”

The auxiliary AI remained silent for a few moments longer as if processing her request.

Finally, it responded its tone still as gentle as before.

[I am sorry host. I don’t know anything else.]

Su Jiyai’s shoulder slumped.

Her mood soured and she decided to stop for the day.

The rest of the day passed in a blur.

Su Jiyai dealt with minor issues of the base.

At night she tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.

The next day she was woken by the system’s prompt,

[Congratulations Host for upgrading to level 2.]

[Shops section has been unlocked.]

[New decorations have been unlocked.]

[Daily quest has been unlocked.]

Su Jiyai’s expression relaxed and she was about to ask about her daily quest when suddenly the robotic voice warned her.

[The portal is about to open in the next 20 minutes. The host is asked to prepare quickly!]

Su Jiyai cursed the system in her heart.

How can she get some luck points from Rui Wang in the next 20 minutes?

Su Jiyai could only hurriedly take a shower and pack her back immediately.

The moment she finished the system teleported her to a faraway place.

The next second a galaxy-colored portal opened and Su Jiyai was sucked into it.

“I have heard if the day begins with bad things then the rest of the day bad luck lurks around. I hope it is false.” She muttered.

The unique beginning of the day led Su Jiyai to a unique planet.

When Su Jiyai opened her eyes she saw lush green grass, a beautiful blue sky, and vast land.

Even the air around her was fresh.
