Chong Lin was better than the other policemen. He was not the kind of person who was satisfied with simply passing the test. He didn't object to Dai Li's increasing workload, but like the other trainees, he was not as serious as he had been last week.

Once a goal was attained, people tended to relax a bit. Chong Lin fell into this category, as he had also reached the passing standard. To him, he had completed an important task, so it was no wonder he had begun to slack off.

”Even if you took the make-up test now, you would pass for sure. But is that all you want?” Dai Li looked at Chong Lin seriously.

Chong Lin nodded with embarrassment, ”Sorry Coach Li, I know I was absent-minded during today's and yesterday's training. Don't get me wrong, I'm not objecting to training, I just relaxed a bit. I shouldn't be like that.”

Dai Li smiled with satisfaction. He believed that if Chong Lin had the desire to improve, things would be easy.

”I changed our plans for the next three days. Would you like to take a look?” Dai Li handed a form to Chong Lin.

Chong Lin took the form, quickly looked through it, then asked, ”Did you add more training tasks?”

”Yes. I not only added events, but I increased your workload as well. You have to train efficiently, otherwise you won't be able to finish daily tasks on time.”

It was easy for Dai Li to say, but tough for Chong Lin to do. Chong Lin's face tightened up.

Increasing the quantity to make up for inadequate quality was Dai Li's plan. Chong Lin's lack of effort was mainly due to his psychological relaxation. If Chong Lin had not reached the passing standard yet, he would have been trying his hardest, and would definitely not be at ease now.

Dai Li's wanted to make Chong Lin feel nervous and pressured. That was why he had scheduled more tasks for Chong Lin.

Once a person realized that they had a lot of work left to do, they would naturally feel anxious. Such anxiety was the opposite of relaxation; anxiety could gradually reduce relaxation and push the person forward.

This method was exactly what Dai Li believed in. In fact, when coaches dealt with an athlete's lack of effort, many of them used this method. By increasing the workload, the athletes would be stimulated.

Increasing the workload was a science. Simply adding more workouts couldn't solve the problem. If a coach set a goal that was too high for the trainee to reach, the athlete wouldn't struggle for it, and it would have a negative effect.

The ideal execution was to make the athlete feel like they could finish the tasks on time, while in actuality the workload was just beyond the athlete's ability. This way, the trainee would have hope that as long as they worked harder the next day, they would complete the tasks. The athlete would have a practical goal worth fighting for, thus the training quality would improve.

Dai Li had the Coaching System, but he also had some true ability. When he was in college, he had been a good student who teachers liked. Although the System had brought him some benefits, during training Dai Li depended on his own ability.

Dai Li's new training plan was just above Chong Lin's limit, so Chong Lin could not complete all the tasks in time. Meanwhile, Chong Lin was not discouraged; instead, he felt he was just one step closer to his goal.

...

”Alright, it's about time to finish,” Dai Li looked at his watch and said.

”One more task! Just one more task and I can complete today's plan!” Chong Lin was upset.

”Yeah, you are very close. Keep working hard, and you will make it tomorrow,” smiled Dai Li.
