The coach answered them one by one and helped them adjust their equipment. Soon, the limited number of smart fitness drying racks were filled.

Those who came late could only watch from the side.

​

“This thing even has a game?”

“It looks fun!”

Deposit Fitness’ users were mainly the young and white-collar workers and the proportion of female members was very high.

That was because the model of Deposit Fitness had a certain screening effect. Only those with relatively better economic conditions, higher requirements for the fitness environment, and weaker self-control but strong determination to fit could stay.

Most of the people selected were young people who happened to be the target group of players for the Fitness Battle. Naturally, they became very interested after seeing the game graphics.

Previously, everyone had indeed looked down on the smart fitness drying rack, but that was because there was no game.

Without a game this thing would just be an ordinary fitness equipment. It was no different from the other fitness equipment in the gym. Moreover, it was not as professional as these fitness equipment.

However, with the game, it would become the extension of the game. The more fun the game was, the more useful it would be!

Even the fitness trainer was confused. He had not expected that the smart fitness drying rack, which no one had been interested in before, would become so popular in an instant.

However, he had to admit that the fitness experience of the smart fitness drying rack was indeed much more interesting than playing with the iron in the gym.

News of the Fitness Combat and the smart fitness drying rack immediately spread and reached netizens’ ears…

…

Qiao Liang was completely out of energy after clearing the first chapter.

The game also started to remind him to take a break.

According to the game’s instructions, after the smart fitness drying rack was restored to its initial state, Qiao Liang was prepared to use the free lucky draw chance and then study the game’s shopping system.

During the game, the system had given Qiao Liang a few beautiful clothes and guided him to complete the process of dressing up his character.

“Dress up” was a popular gameplay that lasted for a long time.

Who could resist the temptation of changing a dress for a beautiful girl?

Many gameplay for dressing up was very simple, but it could generate tens of millions of yuan a month. As long as new dresses were produced, players would not hesitate to foot the bill.

Most of the specialized games used paper figure cutouts to make game characters. Players would spend money happily. The characters in Fitness Battle were 3D models. They were very detailed. What’s more, they could talk to players and do fitness exercises with them. Wouldn’t that be much better than paper figure cutouts?

After Qiao Liang saw the few pieces of clothing that the system had given him, he became very interested in the game’s dress up system.

It might be troublesome to unlock many high-end fashion apparel, but it should not be a problem to take a look and get a kick out of it, right? If it really looked good and the price was suitable, it would not be a problem to pay a little.

Qiao Liang opened the newly opened Shopping Mall interface and found that the entire interface was rather concise. There were only two large web pages: ‘Shopping Mall’ and ‘Lucky draw’.

Other games might have similar systems, but they would be slightly modified and would not appear so directly. On the other hand, Fitness Battle was not reserved at all.

He opened the interface of the shopping center. There were various props in the game. They were clearly arranged in different categories.

These props were divided according to type, including the character’s hat, top, pants, shoes, gloves, wrist guards, accessories, and other decorations. There were also specialized fitness scenes and special effects when attacking monsters.

The shopping center could also arrange the items based on their quality and price. It was very convenient to choose.

In addition, there were also some preferential gifts that had been arranged. For example, there would be a specific discount for buying the entire costume of a certain character.

However, there were two prices for all the props in the shopping mall. They were the price by calorie coins and the price of the charging substitute coin.

All the goods had the same ratio of the two currencies. What’s more, there were no items in the entire shopping center that could not be bought with calories.

The lucky draw interface was much simpler. It was nothing more than a single draw, ten consecutive draws, and ten consecutive draws gives a guaranteed prop.

Many other games would display the latest heroes and props on this interface to attract players. However, the Fitness Battle interface did not display these things. It looked very simple.

Just as Qiao Liang thought that there was nothing special about the lucky draw system, he noticed a very eye-catching icon on the interface.

“A detailed description of the lucky draw?”

Qiao Liang was a little surprised because many other games did not explain the lucky draw system.

The reason was simple: there was nothing much to say.

Players understood things that could be said clearly. There was no need to explain; things that could not be said clearly would let players know that something big was going to happen.

The lucky draw was a secret box. Many games companies would write fake probabilities in the lucky draw system or set the delivery rate of rare items to be very low but not explicit. In any case, players would not be able to verify it.

Of course, this situation had improved in recent years as ESRO’s official platform’s restrictions on the lucky draw became stricter.

However, most gaming companies would only take responsibility for the official platform and would not explain much to gamers.

Qiao Liang subconsciously clicked on it. He had thought that it was just a few simple instructions. He had not expected it to be so detailed!

“The quality-price ratio of the lottery is 0.8. Er… it looks like a loss, but it’s actually not bad. The lottery originally had a chance.”

“Wait, you can’t use calories for the lucky draw. What’s more… I’m able to get it refunded automatically?!”

This automatic refund stunned Qiao Liang.

In fact, many games could be refunded, but there were very strict restrictions. There had to be a dedicated manual review. What’s more, after refunding once, they would not agree to refund applications anymore.

However, that was obviously not the case for Fitness Battle. There was no need for a manual review for this automatic refund. What’s more, there was no need for the reason of ‘children stealing money to top up’. As long as they were not satisfied with the lucky draw results, they could directly refund the items!

The only limitation was that he could not recharge for the next three days.

However, strictly speaking, this did not seem to be a restriction. Instead, it was more like a form of protection. It allowed players to calm down and control their wallets after spending on impulse.

As long as there were no restrictions on the upper limit of the refund, players could just refund once every three days until they knew that they were satisfied.

“What trick is this?”

Qiao Liang was confused.

He had seen many games with paywalls and had some experience in resisting temptation. However, this was the first time he had seen a game with paywalls that could be refunded at will.

Who was the designer of this game?

Qiao Liang suddenly had a strong desire to charge.

In any case, he could get a refund if he was not satisfied with the lucky draw! There was no psychological burden at all.

However, Qiao Liang held himself back after some hesitation. After all, he had not even ordered the smart fitness drying rack. It was too early to start paying.

He had to spend the calories that the system had given him first, and then take away the ten free chances.

Since he could not play the lottery with the calorie coins, Qiao Liang chose a few beautiful dresses and spent the free ten draws.

The prop for the ten consecutive draws was quite standard. It was not very good, but it was not bad either. There were two very good dresses. Qiao Liang was not super lucky to begin with. He had expected this outcome.

“By the way, doesn’t the smart fitness drying rack have a professional gift package?”

Qiao Liang suddenly remembered. However, after studying it carefully, he realized that the gift bag corresponded to the number of the smart fitness drying rack. Each equipment was limited to one time.

The facilities in the Deposit Fitness were all public equipment, so they could not receive the gift package.

“Done, I’ll get off work!”

He might not have been able to obtain a professional gift package, but Qiao Liang was already very satisfied.

On one hand, the official platform had given him a chance to draw ten consecutive draws, allowing him to obtain extremely simple and beautiful clothes. That was a satisfaction in the game. On the other hand, his exercise volume had completely reached the standard today. He was sweating profusely from training, and he even walked a little unsteadily. That was a satisfaction in his body.

If there was only satisfaction in the game, it would actually be a little empty. That was because games were a form of spiritual entertainment. There would always be a feeling of wasting time.

However, if he were to train his body while he was at it, his entire state would obviously improve. His spirit would also continue to be excited. Most importantly, players could feel that their physical fitness had improved through training. It was more meaningful than playing games.

“I’ve decided to buy one unit!”

After trying it out, Qiao Liang did not hesitate and placed the order.

This smart fitness drying rack might be expensive, but it was worth it.

What’s more, Qiao Liang felt that there were many merits to the game design of ‘Fitness Battle’, especially this shopping mall system. There must be a deeper meaning behind it!

Wouldn’t it be great if he could release a video or post a Weibo post to analyze it?
