My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 236 - 233: Director Jin’s Headache
From morning when the Martial Arts Hall had officially opened until the sunset dipped in the west.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed half of the sky red, and the mercenaries, who had been out fighting all day, also returned to the Sanctuary with exhausted bodies.
At this time, the Awakeners who were visiting the Extreme Martial Arts Hall... were still trying out various new types of equipment.
Like they had gotten their most beloved toys.
They had even forgotten about lunch.
Tang Yu had been observing discreetly and could hardly bear to watch anymore.
Pulling off such a big event with three days of free usage was naturally to attract more customers, yet... was the appeal too great?
Until now, not a single survivor had signed up for the Extreme Martial Arts Hall's subscriber cards, nor had anyone inquired about the Hall's future class schedules.
Tang Yu believed it couldn't be that these Awakeners weren't interested.
Utilizing his Lord privileges, he could see clearly that those Awakeners, damn, each of them was having a blast.
Addicted to training, unable to extricate themselves.
Of course, he wouldn't say that he had just been eyeing several Awakeners with good figures, which also made him forget to urge the Awakeners to sign up for cards.
Upon reminding them,
Shay, along with the Carmen Three Brothers who would be responsible for the Martial Arts Hall in the future, quickly ordered the Martial Arts Hall staff and those guards to arrange things.
Of the Awakeners who came in for a visit, how many would choose to sign up for subscriber cards and how many people, in the future, would be willing to pay for the use of the advanced training facilities?
This was like in novels where the number of collections could be converted into subscriptions.
It was very important for the Martial Arts Hall.
Because the first three days were free, the subscriber cards issued could be used until three days into the following month.
Feng Yu and a group of Awakeners walked out of the Gravity Room and, upon hearing the news, disregarded their physical and mental fatigue, and didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off their bodies, hurrying to the first floor to go through the membership card registration procedures.
In just under a day's time, using the Gravity Room and the Adaptive Space, they all felt a distinct improvement.
Feng Yu knew clearly that he had been stuck at the Fifth Tier of Awakening for days, and even if he absorbed and refined soul power, he couldn't improve even a little.
But now, he felt a significant improvement compared to himself in the morning. If he could recover his state and then try the Punching Power Tester, he believed he could definitely score over ten thousand points.
Such a Martial Arts Hall, let alone a monthly member price of only thirty, even if it was three hundred Source Crystals, he wouldn't hesitate.
'Yeah, I need to quickly inform the other members of the Corps, taking advantage of the fact that the Extreme Martial Arts Hall's reputation hasn't been established, and promptly use its advanced training facilities to enhance our Mercenary Corps' strength. By doing so, we might be able to outpace other large Mercenary Corps.'
'I'm lucky I wandered here today; otherwise, I might have missed the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. Once its reputation spreads throughout the whole Luoxia, who knows how long that will be.'
Feng Yu handed over ninety units of Source Crystals and saw the Martial Arts Hall staff take out a small scanning gun and, with a beep, the value of the Source Crystals was read.
But he wasn't surprised in the slightest.
Just a Source Crystal scanner, compared to the Gravity Room and other such equipment, what was it worth?
Awakeners like him had become quite calm about such transactions.
Had Feng Yu not only brought that many Source Crystals, he would have wanted to top up even more in one go.
Nothing more than that.
Just to make a good impression.
Just like the Awakener who thought before, the Extreme Martial Arts Hall had just opened, lacking Core Apprentices, and few members...
Feng Yu remembered the Awakeners who had entered the Martial Arts Hall in the morning, roughly just two to three hundred people.
The fewer the people, the weaker the competition, and the Martial Arts Hall, to make a name, also needed to produce star students.
For someone with his decent strength, under the current circumstances, it was very easy to be selected, of course, it was best to show some initiative first.
After completing his membership registration, Feng Yu did not leave; he wanted to see if there were any threatening competitors around.
Then,
A minute passed.
Two minutes went by.
Ten minutes elapsed.
The number of people coming to sign up for the gym membership did not decrease; on the contrary, it kept increasing, even forming a rather long queue.
"How come there are so many people, the Extreme Martial Arts Hall just opened, didn't it? Although it might become the hottest gym in the future, that would take some time, right? Where did all these people come from?"

The other Red Maple Mercenaries were also puzzled.
Immersed in training, they had yet to notify other members of the Corps; they believed that other Awakeners who had visited the Martial Arts Hall would do the same.
But they didn't know that a group of Zhentian's students, who had witnessed the Crystal-Consuming Girl utterly dominating a powerful Demonized Beast, had already been paying attention to the gym that opened recently.
The news wasn't a secret and had already spread to a certain extent.
Awakeners who had heard about it were either sneering or half believing, half doubting, and some had finally found out about the only gym that had opened during this period when the industry was withering.
The Extreme Martial Arts Hall was no longer anonymous.
...
...
In the central area of Luoxia Sanctuary.
Director of Security Bureau's office.
Director Jin, with a somewhat rotund belly, leaned back in his chair, frowning at the document in his hands.
"Tang Yu, male, registered residence in Dawn Lake District of Luoxia City, later studied at Lin City University, when the apocalypse erupted, he was in Lin City... Until recently, he arrived in Luoxia Sanctuary with a team of powerful members, crossing over the provincial boundary."
"Among his team, there is an ability user who has awakened Ice Element powers, extraordinarily strong. The blow that froze the underground space, even the top powerhouses of Ancestor Dragon couldn't do it. There are speculations that the person may have used some Ice series treasure, but their own strength must also be at the top echelon of the Sanctuary's mightiest."
"Observations suggest that amongst the entire team, Tang Yu is the core figure, their captain. The rest of the team members show him a great deal of respect, leading to the speculation that Tang Yu's strength is even higher, marking him as a person of interest that requires close monitoring."
Looking at the investigation report submitted by his subordinates about the other party, Director Jin had a headache.
As the Director of the Security Bureau.
Although the title of the bureau sounds somewhat unimposing, it is responsible for maintaining order and safety in Luoxia Sanctuary.
He holds great power.
Among the giants in Luoxia, Director Jin could surely be considered at the forefront.
With countless masters under his command, he also faces heavy duties, such as monitoring well-known experts in the Sanctuary. Those individuals' destructive power is too great, and in case of accidents, they could pose a significant threat to other survivors. His Security Bureau needs to pay special attention to these individuals.
And among them, the members of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall were particularly strong.
"But after that cleanup of the ant nest, several people, including the Ice Ability User, have not appeared again. It's not like they could just be staying at home all the time, is it?"
Director Jin scratched his thinning hair.
If the people are nowhere to be found, how can they be closely monitored?
With those people's abilities, should they choose to hide, they would be even more undetectable.
He was nearly scratching his head bald!
Thump—
A Security Team member rushed in hurriedly, "Director, a major incident has happened! A large-scale murder has occurred in the Second Street District. There are a total of thirteen victims, and... and it's somewhat eerie."
