NOVEL NEXT Chapter 31-1
After starting his physical training, ominous rumors began to circulate within the palace about Otto’s relationship with Olive, The Head Maid.
“Have you heard? It seems that Otto has some sort of relationship with Lady Olive!”
“Really?”
“I heard they mess around every morning and evening so loudly.”
“Oh my!”
“Well, you know, His Magesty’s taste is a bit unique.”
“Come to think of it… He was even more wild than that witch.”
But it wasn’t the maids’ fault.
“Aaah! Ahhhhhhh! Aaaah!”
“How does that feel? Do you like it?”
“I-it feels good! Ahhhhh!”
“Great! Let’s do it again!”
“Kyaaaaa!”
Every morning and evening, questionable sounds could be heard coming from Otto’s bedroom during his physical training, making it impossible for people not to think like that.
Unaware of the rumors, Otto attended his daily physical training sessions in the courtyard every morning.
“*Huff* *Huff*!”
“Trainee! Are you giving up?”
“No, sir!”
“Then run! Quickly!”
“Ack!!!”
Even on days when the snow was falling heavily, and during the bitter cold of minus 30 degrees Celsius,
Otto never skipped a day of physical training.
Even when feeling unwell, he dragged himself to the training field and collapsed.
And as time passed, the cold winter gave way to the blooming of spring.
“Hmm! The weather is nice! We’re going on a picnic today! Everyone gather at the training field in full gear in one hour!”
It was a given that it wasn’t going to be an ordinary picnic.
“From here, we will run to the training field! It’s a drill!”
The picnic spoken of by Sergeant Spooner was nothing but a 15-kilometer hellish training, running through mountainous terrain to the training field.
“Ack! Cough!!”
“Ughhh!”
Even for soldiers with good physical fitness, running a 15-kilometer mountain trail in full gear was usually a tough task.
“I can’t run anymore. Ughh…”
“M-my legs… I can’t feel them!”
There were many soldiers who dropped out, and some even vomited while running.
The intensity of the training for the 15-kilometer mountain trail in full gear was so high that it was no wonder so many soldiers struggled.
However, Otto led the way in this terrifying training.
In this mountain trail training, Otto achieved an overwhelming first place.
“You all have terrible stamina! Terrible! Do those who dropped out have no pride?”
He even had the leisure to encourage the soldiers who fell behind.
At first, Otto couldn’t even run a 5-kilometer run properly, but now he was overpowering other soldiers with his stamina.
All thanks to Olive.
Thanks to receiving physical therapy and massage from Olive twice a day, he was able to achieve such unbelievable progress.
Drinking the “Lloyd potion” also provided some help in achieving a permanent doping effect.
“Wow… … You’re really amazing. At first, you had trouble running 5 kilometers…”
“I, I can’t keep up. *pant* *pant*”
Otto received proper recognition from the soldiers.
By returning his rank and status and training with the soldiers every day, he succeeded in winning their hearts.
As a result, the soldiers’ loyalty to Otto deepened.
‘I’ve improved my stamina and strength enough. My level is now 53, so if I level up a bit more, I can go straight to the ‘Sanctuary’.’
Otto checked his level and smiled with satisfaction.
The leveling up system in the game “Territory War” was very different from most games.
Players of “Territory War” did not need to kill someone to gain experience points.
Experience points could be obtained through almost any action the player performed.
If it was exercise, then exercise.
If it was studying, then studying.
If it was swordsmanship, then swordsmanship.
By working hard and repeating any action, players could naturally gain experience points and level up.
Up to level 200, leveling up was possible depending on the development of the territory or the country being managed, so there was no need to go around hunting monsters.
Of course, if one wanted to become a powerful warlord, they would have to either fight strong enemies or perform greatly on the battlefield starting from level 200.
