The place Dao Mei mentioned did not refer to any one specific location, but rather to a type of high-end entertainment venue in the game that provided leisure and relaxation services—hot spring bathhouses.
Here, players could finally take off all the clothes they normally had to wear at all times and soak themselves to their hearts' content in the hot springs' uniquely warm waters, washing away the exhaustion that had built up over the years.
What? You mean the grime accumulated on the human body?
No, no, no.
In the game, players could usually enjoy the pleasure of automatic cleansing.
No matter what sort of filth got on their bodies or clothes, as long as they left the dirty environment for a brief moment, they could return to their original clean and tidy state.
As for just how broad the scope of those "usual circumstances" was?
In fact, even someone as resourceful as Ye Weiming had encountered a special situation that could not be directly cleaned by the automatic cleansing system for the first time today, after more than a year in the game.
So it was perfectly understandable that ordinary players did not even know places like bathhouses existed.
Unlike male players, female players tended to care more about such details. Even when they did not actually need it, they still liked to maintain the good habit of taking a bath every so often.
Dao Mei was among the more easygoing sort, and she soaked in hot springs roughly once a week.
It was said that Foodie Little Fairy, who had also joined the League of Heroes, was an even more frequent visitor to bathhouses. Supposedly, she came to the hot spring bathhouse every day or two for a soak, bathing with a frequency comparable to the bath-crazed Shizuka.
