Chapter 1688: NO．303：But it's also fine to open the swimsuit back!

NO．303：But it's also fine to open the swimsuit back!

It is undeniable that, regardless of how that cult reacts, whether everyone's work progresses smoothly or not, everyone's daily life must go on as usual.

However, at the end of the transition from spring to summer, a certain demon will face a job more formal than the "moving treasure chest they wanted to handle themselves."

"Identity verification completed, welcome your visit, Trainer Aomo Lindun."

On the beach, the ethereal azure light rose from bottom to top, outlining the system's operational page and its training field's logo; at the moment it dissipated, the semi‑virtual training field that looked like rootless duckweed was considered loaded, manifesting a complete set of semi‑virtual facilities.

It not only outlined the boundaries on the beach, but also extended toward the sea surface.

In one go, it outlined the contours of various sports facilities such as dodgeball courts, volleyball courts, tracks, and swimming pools.

Yet it was only an outline.

Passersby could easily step inside without hindrance, but a projection box displaying a warning sign would steadily cover the view ahead.

Although this is merely a design that keeps out gentlemen but not scoundrels, it is already enough, after all, passersby who recklessly obstruct training are quite rare.

Thanks to the long history of summer training camps, nearly a hundred beaches within the federation have been long‑designated, regularly visited, and have become an established tradition.

This also means that those beaches not only have steady lifeguard assignments, but also additional order keepers—one of the small costs that must be paid due to the increase in tourist numbers from accepting Horse Girl training.

Yes, this is necessarily just a small cost.

Each Horse Girl participating in the summer training camp can bring many extra visitors, indirectly boosting local consumption; the benefit of a famous Horse Girl even increases exponentially, proving more effective than any holiday promotion.

Nowadays, many beaches' promotional pages already feature the phenomenon "Horse Girls will come here for summer training" as a selling point; moreover, many merchant alliances located at those beaches voluntarily raise funds to hire guards, and even procure and upgrade virtual training systems.

All this is done so that the Horse Girls and trainers can have better performance and better publicity during their stay.

Undoubtedly, this is a very model example of mutual benefit.

For beach‑related industries that exist only in peak season and have no holiday qualifications, the summer training camp stipulated by Toresen is a unique holiday that can take them a step further; the assistance they provide to trainers and Horse Girls will determine their competitiveness in the eyes of the latter two, after all, with today's transportation development, there really are many optional locations for summer training.

If you want to stand a chance of being selected, especially to gain the favor of famous Horse Girls and trainers, then you just have to work hard yourself, right?

And among them, Heaven Gate City's simulated Dayang Chongsheng Qundao is the winner decided upon last year.

A professional‑grade event system, with few barriers for non‑tourists, high‑level guardians hidden among visitors, and… most nearby establishments, including high‑end hotels, actually offer trainers and Horse Girls consumption discounts and other benefits.

Even though Aomo Lindun initially balked at the expense, he ultimately complied faithfully with the top choice suggested in the email.

Then he gazed into the distance at men and women in swimsuits trading blows with a sea monster, stirring up waves.

But this is indeed reality.

The planet's primordial ocean was already exhausted during the initial construction of Heaven Gate City; all the oceans and isolated islands seen today are artificially recreated simulations, which is why this place has the unique appellation "simulated Dayang Chongsheng Qundao," akin to the release of some noble phantasm.

But precisely because the ocean is artificially made, the aquatic creatures within it are naturally not spontaneously generated.

Setting aside normally released imported sea fish, some hazardous species have naturally ended up in the artificial ocean projects——

Such as phantom beasts like the kraken, also like overlooked experimental creations such as the three‑headed shark, and some are due to Heaven Gate City already having numerous Heaven Gates, making it subject to dimensional shocks every several years or decades, which bring in extradimensional and otherworldly beings.

Rather than saying it's hard to catch because it's in the sea instead of the city, it's more like they just can't be bothered to manage it in the sea.

After all, the food‑chain ecology of this artificial ocean is highly complete from top to bottom; those who wander there and are unlucky tend to be fed to fish right away, and even if they have some ability they may not last long enough to be detected by the locals and the Maritime Affairs Bureau's radar.

However, if one is capable enough to put up a decent struggle, the Maritime Affairs Bureau will notice and dispatch rescue and liaison—yet such treatment is usually reserved for intelligent beings. Mindless beasts and monsters are simply left alone, adding to the artificial ocean of Heaven Gate City a surprising diversity worthy of its name.

Thus you occasionally get to see top‑tier marine organisms popping up for various reasons, giving those who go out to fish or have fun a "surprise".

If mishandled, it could even develop into a disaster scene requiring the Coast Guard and certain ocean‑system heroes to intervene.

For now, it's clearly not yet at that point.

Looking at those handsome men and beautiful women still in swimwear, they too are visitors who were attacked and rose up in resistance as sublimators, and one can somewhat feel that Heaven Gate City has raised the survival threshold here.

If we take a game as a metaphor, then the NPCs and wild monsters of Heaven Gate City are on average ten or more levels higher than those in the Junction Gate area—definitely a late‑game map vibe, with even the side‑quest toilets constantly spawning, keeping police, mercenaries, and vigilantes perpetually busy with no moment of rest.

Right?

Looking at how even vacations aren't stable, having to fight deep‑sea tentacle monsters, and a moment's inattention can trigger a CG scene—truly a sight not to be seen, as his eyes were instantly covered by others.

"Guess who I am?"

"First, rule out Miss Xin Tiao Xi."

"Eh? Boring."

Having released her grip, Xin Tiao Xi gazed silently at the sea battlefield where a counter‑kill had already been completed, then turned her eyes back, also wordless.

"You're not looking at your girlfriends' swimsuits, but at this kind of thing? Even Xiao She's XP is worrying, huh."

"Aren't you waiting for the Horse Girls to gather for training? Besides, this sort of doubt isn't something the comatose Miss Xin should be saying, right?"

"Guh… Xiao She clearly has no martial virtue! Aiming at me when I'm not in good shape lately!"

"Then why not take this chance to train more?"

"What… outdoors?"

"? I meant training the body."

"Mm…"

"Also, don't take those creations as reality; this beach has no completely unobserved blind spots, so any ideas should just be put into AR simulation…"

"You two are already talking about this in broad daylight?" Ling, hands on hips, looked left and right at the two, somewhat speechless.

I don't think the timing is a problem, but it should indeed be kept private— Aomo, who hadn't pointed out that he was following up on Xi's topic, merely gave a light cough, then sized up Ling's vest‑style undershirt and shorts combo, which didn't differ much from usual, and said, "It really suits you."

"Ah, is that so? Xiao Xi still thinks I'm too plain like this."

"It's plain as day! Ling should listen to my and Ya Zi's advice!"

"Actually, it doesn't matter either way," Huo Er Hai Ya said, coming and going, "Everyone has their own style—hasn't Xiao Xi already been talking about this for a while…"

"Wait wait wait! Also look at the badger! Look at Qie Na and Yi Sha Ma La!!" The pink‑haired JC shouted loudly to drown out the past, pointing at one swimsuit‑clad older sister after another, then kept pointing and pointing, realizing something was off, "Shi Huai Ya—hasn't she come out yet?"

"Here……"

A mosquito‑like whisper came from below, making everyone instinctively lower their heads to look at the large black cover; only after a couple of seconds did they notice the light gold tiger ears beside the brim.

So this is a hat?

"What are you squatting here for?" Xi was somewhat speechless, "Your tail is all tucked in, be careful not to get bumped."

"I…" that voice remained low and hesitant, "I haven't worn this outfit for a while, I feel a bit tight."

"Could your job still possibly make you gain weight?" Huoerhaiya got straight to the point.

"It's just that you've become a bit fuller than before; are you still afraid Aomo will despise you?"

"Um…"

It seemed he was simply persuaded like that, or perhaps his hesitation itself was hardly convincing, or perhaps as the person with the most extreme physique among those present, he was being comforted; that big tiger who had never regretted trying it on in private, but only began to shrink upon truly meeting, finally slowly stood up.

But his hands still gripped the brim of his hat, trying to pull it down to shield his view.

"How… how…?"

"Very good, let's talk in private." Aomo answered quite succinctly.

"?"

But this blunt answer was something she couldn't understand even if she brought out the passwords and credentials of criminal investigation studies; instead, she saw Little Xi staring at her, and Lingze's expression was a weird reaction.

"Then can I join the chat?" Huoerhaiya even leaned up to Aomo's ear.

This overly clingy attitude instead made her seem to react; the flush that had surged up again hadn't yet had time to elicit words of extreme agitation, but rather the old friend's voice interrupted the topic.

"We were wondering why we couldn't wait for anyone, it turns out you, this char siu cat, are here."

Chen Huijie, also in swimwear, walked over and immediately narrowed her eyes: "What kind of reaction is this?"

"Wasn't Aomo supposed to be going to work?" The Xingxiong beside her turned his head even more: "Aomo, did you take leave?"

"Not really."

Aomo answered quite succinctly.

"At most, it's just occasional leisure time for rest."
