48 Hours a Day

Chapter 751: The Story of Varo

After these seven days, Zhang Heng also has a certain understanding of the basic training of gladiators. In general, whatever the training mode, he walks the path of strengthening strength, agility and endurance, in addition to teaching some beginner mobile footsteps.

Zhang Heng is not very satisfied with the content of the current course.

Of course, considering that he was in the second century AD, he didn't expect much science in the way he trained here, but in addition to being a free man, he did want to take advantage of this time to learn something useful, after all, that he was in the height of the Roman Empire, where gladiators performed.

This most important recreational activity for the Roman people has disappeared in future generations because it is so bloody and cruel, yet undeniably at the time it did create heroes and legends.

Of course, because Zhang Heng's current knife technique has reached LV4, combined with more than a dozen copies of the combat experience accumulated, even Spartacus' probability of regeneration is not his opponent, but that doesn't mean that his combat skills are perfect enough to have nothing to improve.

Like the battle he saw before between Habitus and Bach, Habitus was downwind in power, but he played with Bach, who was barbaric in the sky, in clever footsteps, between his hands. The angry latter screamed, Zhang Heng was quite interested in the way he moved like a dance.

Zhang Heng's own method also walked an agile path, was exercised in the wind wave, but he was restraining Habitus. Habitus estimated that if he could not sustain all three moves against Habitus, but this was due to different exercise times and different combat experience, not purely physical repression, and if he could get Habitus' method of exercise, it might be a good addition for Zhang Heng.

But soon Zhang Heng realized that it didn't seem as simple as he thought.

After the occupational division, everyone was assigned to the corresponding trainers, but most of the time they were together for basic training. Besides, trainers would also develop targeted training based on the characteristics of each individual. However, Zhang Heng did not find the set of steps for Habitus, either in basic training or in targeted training.

He also consulted his trainer on the issue. The trainer told Zhang Heng that, according to the contract of employment, the trainer needed to help the gladiator school to train the gladiator and complete the prescribed training course, but some trainers themselves had some excellent work on the bottom of the chest and would not publicly teach it.

There are other ways to learn these things, and the most common and simple way to do this is to give a gift.

Reserve gladiators like Zhang Heng and others, who are themselves slaves, are naturally ineffective, but formal gladiators, even if they still have slave status, get some awards for each win, usually gifts and rewards from the audience. To stimulate more heroic fights of gladiators, the gladiator school will take a portion out of them to gladiators.

Gladiators can take the money to enjoy themselves. Of course, they can also use it to improve themselves, listen to the likes of the target trainer, buy gifts that they have thrown at him, close the relationship between the two sides. Some people simply signed a long-term cooperation agreement and split one from their prizes to a trainer, so that the trainer becomes his exclusive trainer, who will be responsible for developing a training programme for him, watching him fight every battle, finding shortcomings in it, and constantly improving his martial arts.

However, such treatment is generally enjoyed by celebrity gladiators.

After listening, Zhang Heng knew that he did not have to think about pace for the time being, because the prep gladiator and the official gladiator were not staying together, it was usually difficult for him to meet Habitus. Even if he did, Habitus would not easily reveal his ability to eat without sufficient benefits.

Fortunately, Habitus won't be able to escape for a moment and a half. Zhang Heng is not in a hurry. Now that we know the direction, we can wait for him to pass the exam and become an official gladiator.

In contrast, Varo still looks a little more worrying.

Ever since Gabi said the price of purchasing Varo, the latter was like thunderbolted and depressed. To this day, even if he was optimistic, he could no longer deceive himself, and had to painfully accept Zhang Heng's previous analysis.

He fell into the field today, not just out of luck, investment failed, but someone attacked him, and the attacker not only devoured all his property, but even he did not intend to let go.

After the training, Varo did not even go to eat, and went straight back to his place of residence, lying tall on the bed, staring at the ceiling, as if he had a body waiting to be buried.

Zhang Heng came back after dinner and brought a loaf of bread to Varo. He threw it in his chest. “Eat something, you need to supplement your strength, otherwise you won't be able to handle tomorrow's training. ”

Yet Varo remained motionless, as if he had not heard him.

Zhang Heng frowned, “Even if it wasn't for you, at least think about your wife. Didn't you always say that she loved you and would wait for you to rise again in Dongshan? Think of it differently, being a gladiator is not entirely a bad thing, and when the audience likes you enough, even Marcus has to set you free. ”

Varo smiled, “Didn't you ask me before who told me to invest in the Egyptian linen business? Either someone else, or my wife. ”

“ ……………… ”

“If you're right, my wife and my best friend have joined forces to deceive me. ”

“Well, that's quite a surprise, and I can only say sorry. ”

“I'm the stupidest fool in the world, right?” Varo was annoyed, "I should have discovered a long time ago, there were signs of this a year ago, the two of them were really a little too frequent, and there were a lot of unusual little details, and the slaves of the store helpers reminded me, and I whipped him instead, because he chewed his tongue, I was so... stupid. ”

“Normally, the other party will be the last person to find out.” Zhang Heng consoled.

“Why… why things have come to this, I am obviously the one who loves her more, there is nothing wrong with her since I asked her about marriage, what she wants, the jewelry and the silk, no matter how expensive I bought it for her, I am even willing to die for her.” Wallow cried in tears.
