Chapter 32 - One Hundred Kilometers! (2/2)

The next day, Meng Fan woke up earlier than usual and arrived at the track field while it was still dark.

“Beep! Your total mileage has reached 100 kilometers, completing task phase 4 [Travelling Deity]. Reward: Points +100, endurance +1, strength +1, speed +1.”

“Ding! You can do it! You’ve ran 2 kilometers, elapsed time 15 minutes and 40 seconds.

The notifications followed one after another; one in his ear, the other in his head. Although he’d been waiting for it, Meng Fan was still embarrassed the moment he heard the notification went off. The excitement from increasing stats for three attributes at once was inevitable, but what he couldn’t comprehend was the absentmindedness.

100 kilometers!

To Meng Fan, this had been an unimaginable number no matter how he looked at it. And yet, he had done it.

In the past, he had been overwhelmed by even just hearing this number. Now, just ten days after he respawned Meng Fan actually completed it!

If he discloses this to the public, nobody would believe it.

Even his three roommates who had witnessed Meng Fan running twice a day, would not believe that Meng Fan had run 100 kilometers.

If someone could imagine it, it would be…

Meng Fan, still running, saw a figure looming up on the edge of the track field.

“She would believe me right?”

It was difficult for Wu Tong not to see Meng Fan’s figure, not to mention he was just who she’d come looking for.

Wu Tong smiled and waved, and continued her warm-up exercises.

Meng Fan retracted his thoughts and felt the changes in the three additional attributes.

100 kilometers to Meng Fan was the ultimate watershed in this task, giving him three attribute scores at once. Strength, endurance, and speed complemented each other, the changes to his physical strength, running speed and overall physical state were all very obvious. Compared to before, it was a qualitative leap.

Faster!

According to the data provided by his black magic running shoes, Meng Fan gradually increased his step frequency by 10%, reducing the contact time by 5%. He tried his best to maintain his breathing rhythm…

“Ding! You’ve ran 3 kilometers, elapsed time 23 minutes and 20 seconds.”

“Ding! You’ve ran 4 kilometers, elapsed time 30 minutes and 55 seconds.”

“Ding! You’ve ran 5 kilometers, elapsed time 38 minutes and 25 seconds.”

Meng Fan used 3 kilometers of milage, adjusting to the data provided by his shoes. Slowly, he managed to bring his lap time to 7 minutes and 30 seconds.

His breathing rhythm remained unchanged, and physical exertion was similar to his previous pace of 7 minutes and 50 seconds.

Continue!

Meng Fan decided to run 10 kilometers this morning, striving for 7 minutes and 25 seconds per km during his sixth to the eighth kilometer. The last two kilometers he pressed for 7 minutes and 30 – 35 seconds.

This kind of change in pace, if not all of a sudden for the three attribute increase, Meng Fan wouldn’t have dared to test.

If this attempt was successful, and his body became familiarized with the new attributes, Meng Fan thought that the next time he ran he could go for 7 minutes and 30 seconds at the start. This kind of pace for a 5-kilometer run should be no problem, but how long can he maintain it if he was still up in the air?

“Still running?”

Wu Tong ran 8 kilometers today, only lapping Meng Fan four times. This basically confirmed what kind of pace Meng Fan had been running at, as well it told her how many kilometers he’d run. Based on this, Wu Tong was a little surprised.

He’s going for 10 kilometers, isn’t he?

This improvement is too fast!

If it had been a regular person Wu Tong wouldn’t have been too affected, but for someone of Meng Fan’s caliber, it was hard to believe.

For someone with his kind of capacity to run 10 kilometers, anyone who saw it would be shocked.

“Are his knees made out of steel?”

After finishing her stretches, Wu Tong, who had planned to head back to shower, stayed and continued her training. She wanted to see how long Meng Fan could run for, and how fast.

“If someone like him entered the ‘one meter for a grain’ charity mini-marathon, it would bring a lot of positive energy and influence, right?”
