"Do you want to buy a package? Oh, right, right, I do need to buy... oh wait, actually I haven't made up my mind yet..."
Xue Tao was cornered by the salesgirl at the gym entrance for quite a while.
It was mainly because her demeanor was so warm—honestly, much nicer than how Liu Yuanyuan usually treated him—that it was almost laughable.
After all, salespeople are the ones asking for a favor. Since she wanted to earn Xue Tao's money, naturally, she was turning on the charm to the max.
Xue Tao was a pushover by nature. After being sweet-talked by the girl for a bit, his resolve began to waver.
Actually, before coming here, he had made up his mind: he absolutely would not buy any personal training sessions.
After all, he had recently watched several videos about gym scams, plus read the explanations in the comments sections... Xue Tao believed that buying lessons had terrible cost-performance and was purely an "IQ tax."
Of course, the more critical factor was that he had spent too much on his girlfriend recently, and his card was running on empty...
Although his parents were delighted to see him dating and had increased his allowance, it couldn't withstand Liu Yuanyuan's spending habits. Plus, having just returned from a trip abroad, and with Xue Datao trading in for a second-hand Porsche Cayenne for him, the level of pampering was already maxed out. Xue Tao didn't dare make any trouble or raise new demands lately.
However, Liu Yuanyuan's desires were like a rolling stone on a high mountain—once it started, it couldn't be stopped.
In short, Xue Tao and the sales rep were in a tug-of-war, grinding away for quite a while.
The salesgirl had a keen eye. She could tell this kid came from a well-off family. If she kept grinding, she could definitely wear him down.
So, she unleashed a classic sales pitch, citing examples of recent clients she had served. She talked about a boy from some college who took private lessons for half a semester and immediately found a girlfriend; then about a teacher from some department who had marital issues, but after a semester of squats, his wife was begging for mercy...
"Are squats that useful?" Xue Tao asked, his eyes lighting up.
"Yes, little classmate. Although you might not need it at this stage, it will be very helpful for your future..."
"Who says I don't need it? I have a girlfriend, and we've already traveled together and stayed in the same room."
"Is that so? You're so impressive, big brother~ In that case, it seems you need our Leg Enhancement Package even more!"
The salesgirl beamed with joy.
Good grief, so this kid cared most about *that* kind of improvement...
Before, seeing Xue Tao hemming and hawing, she couldn't quite gauge his preferences.
After all, different guys have different goals when coming to the gym.
But now, the sales rep had Xue Tao completely in the palm of her hand.
Xue Tao had also grasped the key point. He didn't really care about the examples the sales rep had been rambling on about earlier. After all, he was no longer single. With his family background, his Magotan, and his mature aura, attracting girls wasn't the problem. The real problem lay in how to successfully perform in bed.
So training legs helps with bedroom performance?
Learned something new!
So, when Xue Tao finally successfully entered the gym, he had already swiped his credit app to buy a five-thousand-yuan special package.
Unlike Wang Haoran's choice, Xue Tao picked a female personal trainer.
Big chest, perky butt—that shape, like a ripe piece of fruit, was truly mouth-watering to look at.
As for her face... well, Xue Tao wasn't a picky eater anyway.
Anyway, the training began.
"Hello student, I'm your exclusive trainer, Lili. Should we start the leg-specific course directly today, or should I take you on a general tour of the gym facilities first?"
The trainer wore a professional smile, but her voice carried a hint of sultriness that left Xue Tao dazed.
Seeing his reaction, the trainer immediately felt a surge of contempt.
*Sigh, another naive Xiao Chunan. This type is the easiest to scam. Just give him a little borderline teasing, and he gets completely befuddled.*
*It's just that facing this kind of client is really uninspiring. The kid is ugly, his body is lame, and he has a goofy aura. If I didn't need to sell lessons to earn his money, I definitely wouldn't give this kind of man a second glance...*
After a brief daze, Xue Tao thought for a moment and said, "Let's get to know the equipment first, especially for chest muscles, like the bench press."
Only then did he suddenly remember the bench press matter. Come to think of it, half an hour had passed; had The Gacha Sage finished training already?
Xue Tao was still thinking about crushing him with his starting weight.
"Sure, I'll take you to the free weight area first," the trainer said, leading the way.
The free weight area was filled with a combative atmosphere. Compared to the mixed bag of the machine area and the flock of birds in the yoga mat area, this free weight area... it was pure combat bliss!
As soon as Xue Tao walked in, he felt inexplicably inferior.
Surrounded by a room full of hulking muscular guys, his physique really wasn't up to par.
He looked around but didn't find his two roommates.
In reality, Wang Haoran was training his back with a coach, while Su Bai had seen some activity in the boxing area and went to watch the fun.
"Have you done bench press before?" the trainer asked suddenly.
"Um... sort of."
"We can try a light weight to warm up. I'll spot you."
Trainer Lili's lips curled into an ambiguous smile.
When bench pressing, the trainer's standing position allowed the student to look up and see the beautiful curve of her "southern hemisphere."
It was indeed quite vulgar, but to sell lessons, it wasn't shameful!
After all, this student looked like the very repressed type, so this trick would definitely work on him.
"This empty bar is about 20kg. Push the empty bar first to warm up, stretch your arms and chest muscles, and I'll check if your form is standard."
It had to be said, although this trainer had plenty of teasing tricks, her professional skills weren't bad. At least she considered Xue Tao's body, which showed zero signs of training, and started from scratch.
What, you say Xue Tao claimed he had done bench press before?
Give me a break. When this kid lied, he was panicked as hell.
He was completely different from Su Bai, who had the thick-skinned personality to talk nonsense with a straight face.
He basically had no shrewdness.
Whether it was the salesgirl at the front desk or the female trainer now, they could easily tell that Xue Tao had never trained before and was just being stubborn to save face.
However, Xue Tao said unconvinced, "Empty bar? I think that's a bit too easy. Let's just start with 40kg."
Trainer Lili: "..."
*Dude, can you have a little self-awareness?*
*40kg? You look like you weigh 40kg!*
*Forget it, the customer is God. Being a fitness trainer is really just a service industry job. The core essence is to coax the customer into being happy. As long as the customer is comfortable, anything goes.*
"Alright, I'll assist and spot you then. Take your time."
To prevent Xue Tao, who lacked a reasonable understanding of himself, from getting hurt, the trainer cautiously supported the barbell. While guiding Xue Tao to start the movement, she applied a significant amount of lifting force.
This meant that Xue Tao wouldn't be exerting much force on his end.
The moment his arms bent, Xue Tao felt the weight of the barbell. He delivered a sharp verdict: "Too simple. As expected, 40kg is a piece of cake for me."
