Chapter 601 Gravity Chamber Center


    ?601  Gravity Chamber Center


    Suddenly, Vaan shook his head with a wry smile, feeling a little incredulous for being sentimental and having these weak thoughts. He had an extraordinary destiny and responsibility – something a normal person could not bear.


    It should be expected that his path would be solitary; it differed from others. It was a path that only he could tread.


    In the face of his destiny and pursuit of the truth, a thing like true friendship was trivial.


    He didn''t have it, but he didn''t need it either.


    He had his women, and they could also be considered his best friends. They would only help him and never betray him. They were also top-


    tier beauties.


    Having male friends would only arouse jealousy and trouble.


    Be that as it may, one could not help butment if they learned about Vaan''s thoughts and his destiny.


    After all, he was someone who could lift up other people. But who could lift him up?


    While Vaan had his thoughts, Jihaad was too happy thinking about their uing journey together to notice.


    They eventually reached an enormous building that was equal to half the entire bazaar city. The Gravity Chamber Center was situated outside of Sunrock Bazaar. But because of its proximity, it was considered part of the city.


    It was grand and luxurious.


    It was the only ce and building Vaan had seen since entering the Great Ratholos Empire that used arge amount of metal, or any metal at all, in its construction. The Gravity Chamber Center''s walls were entirely made up of stainless steel.


    Vaan and Jihaad walked through the front open entrance and immediately felt a drop in the temperature.


    It was scorching hot under the sunlight outside but very cool inside.


    Undoubtedly, the temperature was controlled for the purpose of limiting warriors'' perspiration of sweat under high-intensity physical training within the Gravity Chambers. That, in turn, reduced the need for water to replenish their bodily fluids.


    It went without saying that a country full of hot, dry, and destends like the Great Ratholos Empire would consider water a valuable resource.


    However, this consideration was also only limited to the western regions of the empire.


    The eastern regions were closer to the Eastern Sea and, thus, had ess to a limitless supply of water. Of course, this source of unlimited water was also supplied to the West. However, the cost of long-distance transportation would naturally create a significant price difference in the value of water.


    In other words, the western regions weren''tcking in water; water was simply expensive.


    Vaan wouldn''t be surprised at all if the water-supplying businesses jacked up their prices to exploit the vulnerability of the western regions. After all, human greed was endless.


    Vaan and Jihaad approached a female clerk after locating the front counter, which wasn''t difficult to discover upon entry. Even so, they still took some time to reach it due to their appreciation and marvel at the interior designs.


    Everything was neatly arranged and clean, including the various advanced magic tools installed. Each Gravity Chamber possessed a magic screen disying its avability or unavability. There were timers indicating the duration until each upied Gravity Chamber would be avable.


    The disy and dependence on advanced magic technology painted a picture of the interior design being far ahead of its time, like it came from the future. However, this illusion and thought were only created due to the primitiveness of everything else outside.


    If one had been to the Freedom Federation, one would find such disy and dependence on advanced magic tools to be quite normal.


    "How can I help you today, Sir?" the pretty female Dunean clerk politely inquired.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    After Vaan asked to reserve two Rank 1 Gravity Chambers for an hour each, he and Jihaad paid ten mid-rank mana stones each before being guided to their designated Gravity Chambers.


    ''Holy son of a…!''


    Jihaad had sucked in a mouthful of cool air when he found out the standard price for using the Gravity Chambers.


    It wasn''t just expensive; it was extremely expensive!


    Lady Latifa from Madam Morning Dew wasn''t kidding when she previously told them the Gravity Chambers were costly to use. Even some physique-enhancing potions could be cheaper and more effective than the Gravity Chambers.


    Jihaad couldn''t even imagine how much it would cost him to reserve a Rank 2 Gravity Chamber or even a Rank 3 Gravity Chamber in other cities.


    However, there was one matter he understood clearly – Gravity Chambers weren''t meant for the poor!


    That being the case, Vaan and Jihaad noticed more than half the hundred Rank 1 Gravity Chambers in the Gravity Chamber Center being upied. Some warriors even reserved them for three days straight!


    Jihaad found this baffling, but Vaan didn''t.


    Why would warriors still burn their money on Gravity Chambers if some potions and medicines in the empire were more effective and cheaper at improving their strength?


    That was because the Gravity Chamber had one advantage that most avable medicine and potions on the market couldn''tpare to – the consolidation of the internal organs!


    Consolidating the internal organs was the most difficult step in body refining. It was the Achilles''s heels of Body Refiners. After all, no matter how powerful a Body Refiner''s outer strength and defense were, they could still die from shock if they neglected to consolidate their internal organs.


    An Aura User could still protect their internal organs with aura, but not a Body Refiner!


    Body Refiners specialize in refining the body. If their bodies had mortal weaknesses, then they were not true Body Refiners!


    The importance of consolidating the internal organs could not be stressed enough.


    Nevertheless, the true value of consolidated internal organs could only be realized and tested when warriors challenge the Heavenly Steps and Eastern Sea. Those were the ces where warriors experienced the most deaths due to negligence and overestimation of their capabilities.


    After all, without well-consolidated internal organs, they would be crushed under the high water pressure of the ocean depths.


    "What the f*ck? This is a scam!"


    Not long after Vaan and Jihaad entered their respective Gravity Chambers, Vaan suddenly heard Jihaad''s surprise and angry cuss resounding throughout the Gravity Chamber Center.


    The ten mid-rank mana stones only covered the cost of reserving the Gravity Chambers for an hour. The Gravity Chambers still required mana stone investments to power up and activate their functions.
