Chapter 221: 1000 Kilometers Completed
Hangzhou in November was no longer just a little cold, but this temperature did not stop couples from wandering around the track field. Especially those who were still in the honeymoon phase. They, for some reason, loved to circle the track field alone at night.
‘It’s getting cold?’
‘I’ll give you my jacket.’
‘Still cold?’
‘Give me your hand!’
Why do couples love going to the track field so much? Because the name was fitting.
The track field usually consisted of couples, and rarely individuals, nonetheless groups of three. But at this late hour, Meng Fan was the only person running.
Not long after entering the track, Meng Fan had completed a half marathon in 1 hour and 59 minutes. Although his pace from Da Mei to the school had been pretty fast, it wasn’t ideal. He only reached the 2-hour mark as a result of his energy drinks and energy chews.
After running the half marathon, Meng Fan was only 3 kilometers away from completing the 1000 km goal. Meng Fan slowed down his speed to 6 minutes/km and continued to run.
“Ding!”
The alert sounded in his mind.
“Ding! You’ve accomplished task phase 8 of [Travelling Deity]; reward: Points +1000, endurance +2, strength +2, speed +2.”
Meng Fan had experienced this kind of attribute addition as he was running before, but this time, he felt his entire body’s energy was revived. Cool!
Endurance, strength, and speed. To exaggerate it, Meng Fan could feel his blood vessels expand, and his muscles growing… Like how people feel in novels once they revived after a hundred years of hibernation.
He ran another kilometer before stopping.
Although he had more energy to spare, he didn’t continue to run. The physical energy consumption was too large, and if he continued to run, he wouldn’t be able to experience the changes brought about by the new attributes. He was going to wait until he had enough time to run tomorrow morning and experience them at their fullest.
What did it feel like to complete 1000 kilometers?
The answer: Aside from the numeric value, it had become a habit. As for his physical condition and attribute experience, Meng Fan had experienced this already.
“Iron senior.”
Meng Fan walked in circles to regulate his breathing and began to stretch. Although he had the black magic shoes and tracksuit to protect him, he didn’t dare leave out stretching. During this time, two girls approached him.
One was pretty, and the other looked a bit average, standing next to the pretty one.
The pretty girl handed Meng Fan a bottle of water and smiled as her eyes formed into half-moons. Shyly, she spoke, “You’ve worked hard.”
“I’m running by myself. What’s there to work hard for? Haha.”
Seeing the girl holding up the bottled water, he could only thank her and accept it. He put it aside and continued to stretch.
The pretty girl looked at him in adoration. “Senior, I want to run too, but I can’t keep it up. Senior, you’re incredible to keep doing it. Do you have any tips and tricks? I want to be as persevering as you are and become an ambitious person.”
Meng Fan heard this and smiled. “Wu Tong said she doesn’t know what kind of me she liked, so maybe when I become a version of myself that I like the most or the best version of myself, she would like me too.”
The pretty girl paused for a moment and smiled awkwardly, remaining polite. “Sorry to bother you.”
She turned and left with the average looking girl. She wanted to get his WeChat information.
