Chapter 78: Come Late, Leave Early (2/2)

”10pm tonight?”

”Same bar?”

”No problem. I might arrive late.”

Lin sent several audio messages. Not far away from him, Li wrinkled his brows in consideration.

Professional athletes had strict schedules. Usually they were required to go to bed before 10pm, so that they could have 8 hours of sufficient sleep and recover enough energy for the next day. However, judging from Lin’s message, Li now knew that Lin’s nightlife began at 10PM, and that he would be heading a pub.

A metropolis like Donggang had an eventful nightlife. Even at 2AM there were still places to have fun. But sucha life should never be the one of an athlete.

Lin was ignoring the rules. If he was going to a pub at 10AM, he wouldn’t leave before midnight. Now it was beginning to make sense why Lin had been an hour late this morning, and had been yawning over and over—Lin had stayed up late last night!

How could Lin act like this? Can the national team tolerate him? Li felt that there was something wrong.

...

The next day, Lin was still doing the same thing. He arrived late, left early, trained lazily with low intensity, and relaxed quite often. Meanwhile, the coaches of the national team ignored everything.

Does Lin always train in this way? How has he gotten gold medals in this way? Did he really break world records? Li was in disbelief. He decided to use the detector to examine Lin.

Detect! Li used the detector on Lin.

Target: Professional Athlete;

Professional events: Men’s 110m hurdles;

Ability: 458;

Talent: S

Well, he has S-level talent, which means he does have the ability to break world records. But what the hell is his ability? An athlete with such ability is no good in this country, let alone the world. An athlete’s ability should be above 900 in order for them to be capable of breaking a world record. Lin’s current ability is only half of what it once was. Why doesn’t he work hard? And what’s wrong with the coaches? Are they out of their minds? Especially coach Jihai Ding, he used to be Lin’s coach. Why doesn’t he control Lin? Why everything is so wrong?

Li was completely confused. His mind was a mess. As Li was thinking to himself, Lin stopped training and turned to him.

”Hey Li, you don’t need to come tomorrow morning. I have an endorsement project I need to go to, my guess is that it will take the entire morning. Maybe even the afternoon, too. If I don’t show up by 4PM, then you are free to leave!”
