Chapter 376 Neural Recruitment!

What class?
Of course it is a class of self-improvement.

Under normal circumstances, people whose computer skills have reached this level can simply seek out the best resources for further study.

Meng Changge has accepted his fate of being a stepping stone - the sad thing is that sometimes he feels that he may not even be a stepping stone.

There is really nothing you can teach a "student" like this.

He even began to be thankful that Li Yan did not come to class every day, as it allowed him to feel the dignity of being a Longjiang scholar from the admiring gazes of other students.

Mai Wen now has a new understanding of the question "Is Li Yan better than me?"

Yes.

In terms of computer thinking, Li Yan's level is indeed higher than his, and his valuable experience does not seem to be that valuable in the face of relatively new jobs.

It is really unbelievable. Even if this child is a genius, what about his accumulation?

The big guys who were ruthlessly crushed by Li Yan always have the same problem.

Now Mai Wen and Meng Changge have the same problem:

Is it necessary for Li Yan to attend classes?

Mr. Lou didn't care about this issue. He didn't care how great Li Yan was in other aspects. As long as he was willing to come and talk about literature, that was enough.

If Li Yan wasn't a minor, Ning Yuqing suspected that the old man would have opened a pot of wine to drink with her.

Although most of the students did not know the details of Li Yan's "starting a company", some were puzzled as to why he still came to class.

What’s funny is that this group of top students felt pressured to talk to Li Yan, so they actually told their problems to Qiu Shuli and asked him to go and talk to Li Yan.

Qiu Shuli was happy to take on this job, so during the rare break between classes he caught sight of Li Yan just walking out of Lou's classroom, and he quickly rushed over to her.

"Student Li Yan!"

Qiu Shuli called out anxiously, fearing that Li Yan had to leave for some reason - President Li did not eat at school.

But Li Yan was very relaxed and stood still in the corridor, "Juri, what's wrong?"

This made Qiu Shuli a little unsure of how to react, "Uh... chat for a while?"

Li Yan smiled, "Sure."

"Hey, aren't you busy today?"

"You mean the company?"

"……Um."

"I have already divided up the tasks of writing the kernel code. I have to give them some time to work."

"……Um?"

"It's okay. Anyway, I just have time to improve other aspects recently."

Qiu Shuli got the answer before he even asked the question. He clapped his hands and said, "Oh! That's the sentence. Improving other aspects... I was wondering, seeing how you interacted with Professor Meng in class, you're even better than him. I was wondering why you took this class."

Li Yan coughed.

Qiu Shuli reacted and looked back, and saw Meng Changge, who had just finished class, standing behind him with a constipated look on his face.

"Hello, Professor Meng."

Boy, do you think I didn't hear you?
But since they were talking about this issue, Meng Changge curiously asked Li Yan: "Li Yan, what do you mean by improving other aspects?"

"all."

Meng Changge's eyes went dark. Damn, you have to show off to me even when we're just having a daily chat?
Meng Changge, who originally wanted to chat a little more, happened to receive a phone call, so he simply left. He felt that if he continued to communicate with Li Yan, he would question his life.

"However," Li Yan shook her head, "it's a pity that this year's Excellence Class is still mainly science-based. The depth of math, physics, chemistry and biology is not enough to achieve a breakthrough. There are almost no humanities and social sciences."

"Breakthrough?" Qiu Shuli asked.

"An abstract statement." Li Yan replied.

"That's true. After all, we're not a university, and there are only 21 of us," Qiu Shuli said. "There are relatively few major awards for liberal arts. If junior high school students want to excel, they still have to rely on science."

Li Yan just shrugged.

"Li Yan," Qiu Shuli suddenly said in a very serious tone, "I want to compete with you."

If you're not my little brother, why did you suddenly switch to the afternoon challenge mode?

"Comparing what?"

"Anything." Qiu Shuli smiled excitedly. "The next class is physical education. How about we go play badminton? I heard you're pretty good at it."

Li Yan frowned.

Qiu Shuli immediately thought it was not good. After all, he was a big boss now and was busy with his work. I heard that he had rejected the invitation from the provincial team before. Maybe he had no intention of getting involved in sports...

But looking at Li Yan's muscular body, he must have exercised a lot.

"We still have physical education class?"

I was wondering about this question...

"Yes, for the sake of our all-round development, we will arrange activities in the gymnasium for students from Xinbei Middle School when they don't have physical education classes." Qiu Shuli answered quickly, "The venue is pretty good."

"What's your level?"

Li Yan's question made Qiu Shuli laugh.

"Not bad, probably about the same as you, I'm just at the provincial team level."

Li Yan's eyes lit up. This Qiu Shuli was truly amazing. With such brilliant other achievements, he could even play badminton at the provincial team level. He should also be good at more than one sport.

He has no system.

"Okay, let's have a discussion."

Eh? He really agreed? Qiu Shuli's excitement was beyond words, and Li Yan just thought that he, a very competitive person, finally had an outlet to vent.

In fact, Qiu Shuli’s little plan succeeded.

He knew about Li Yan's feat of taking on an entire class at the school sports meet. Basketball, a physically demanding sport, would definitely put him at a disadvantage given his physique, so he chose neither of these two options.

He had already inquired about Li Yan's specific badminton level - "She has the potential to enter the provincial team."

Although Li Yan refused, it does not mean that his level can be higher than that of the provincial team.

And classmate Qiu Shuli won the first place in the Jiangnan Province Youth Badminton Championship.

He actually participated in the provincial team training, but left because his academic performance was too good.

In this hierarchical sport, Qiu Shuli has no reason to lose.

As for why Li Yan agreed, it was simple. He wanted to try out what the newly developed ability of "neural recruitment" could do.

It sounds like a skill that has a dual impact on physical and intellectual abilities.

It would be great if I could use this to improve the secondary skill "Body" or even improve "Intelligence".

The body is the foundation of all abilities. If Li Yan wants to reach the 70% progress stage in all aspects, he must raise his physical values.

Obviously, exercise is the best way.

"Li Yan, let's go back and get our equipment. We'll see you at the stadium in twenty minutes." After saying that, Qiu Shuli trotted back to the dormitory - it looked like he was just warming up.

Twenty minutes later, Li Yan arrived at the gym in school uniform and found that all her classmates were there.

"Are you all so interested in participating in sports?" Li Yan asked with a smile.

Then he realized that everyone came just to watch the "battle of the century" between him and Qiu Shuli.

Qiu Shuli on the opposite side even had a headband on, wrist guards, competition clothes, badminton shoes, and a ball bag, and was doing stretching warm-ups.

In comparison, Li Yan looked very unprofessional. She was wearing a school uniform, ordinary sneakers, and holding an individually packaged racket and shoe box in her hands.

Shoebox? ...

"I was too lazy to go back and get my camera, so I bought some equipment at the store across from the school."

"So wealthy? You're worthy of being Mr. Li." Qiu Shuli, who had regained his confidence, was indeed a little annoying.

Ning Yuqing who was standing in the corner rolled her eyes. Li Yan earned 4 million in royalties a month, so he could even take over his store.

Li Yan opened the package, changed her shoes, picked up her racket, and walked directly onto the court without warming up. Then she stood there waiting for Qiu Shuli to finish warming up.

"Li Yan, warm up a bit. The weather is getting a bit cooler now, so you won't get hurt."

Li Yan doesn't need to warm up, his body is always in the best condition and he can burst out with the strongest fighting power at any time.

As for injuries... they don't exist.

But it’s better not to say such things. Li Yan listened to the advice and did some warm-up exercises.

He had thought it was just an act, but the moment he took the lunge, he felt something different. It was like the feeling when he played golf with Wei Yili, with extremely precise control over his body.

He even performed the simplest lunge with a sense of stability and beauty.

He was able to mobilize his muscle groups most efficiently to complete several consecutive movements, and felt very refreshed.

"Is it okay? How about 21 points in three games?" Qiu Shuli's voice became much brighter.

"No problem." Li Yan nodded with a smile.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, especially for those from the Jiangnan Gang, who looked even more nervous than the two people on the scene.

Kicking off at Qiushuli…

so slow!

Once Li Yan focused his attention, he felt that the speed of the court slowed down. The trees on the opposite hill were moving in slow motion, and the ball was also moving slowly.

The trajectory of the ball was completely predictable. Li Yan hit the ball directly in front of the net, and the ball hit the net and flipped over.

Even if the king of football came, there was nothing he could do about this kind of ball, 1:0.

Qiu Shuli was not affected. He just felt that Li Yan's movements were faster than he had imagined, so he concentrated and continued to fight.

The next ball was a multi-shot one, which was basically equivalent to a four-square ball exercise. Qiu Shuli was not in a hurry to attack, as he wanted to feel out Li Yan's strength first.

Fucking bottomless.

Li Yan's power in every shot was very clear, and every ball went towards the extreme position with a fast speed. Qiu Shuli took the initiative to hit the square ball in the beginning, then passively followed, and finally had to attack forcefully to break through the rhythm set by Li Yan, but was easily blocked by Li Yan.

In the end, this one ended with Qiu Shuli's mistake.

The audience kept exclaiming in amazement at the super long and multiple takes, and some couldn't help but sigh, "It's so tiring just looking at this."

Yes, Qiu Shuli started to breathe heavily after he scored this goal.

But you can't even see Li Yan's chest rising or falling.

Qiu Shuli narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the calm opponent opposite him.

In the square ball just now, Li Yan didn't even take a single extra step. His movements were extremely crisp and neat, and the adjustment of his center of gravity was very smooth. It can be said that he was just... taking a walk.

What the fuck is this?
In the next few balls, Li Yan still maintained this relaxed state, and every ball seemed to be in the middle of the ball.

Qiu Shuli was tortured very much by the four-square ball. Several attempts to return the ball with increased force and active attacks had no effect at all, and he was left gasping for breath.

It's a typical situation where it seems like there is a back and forth, but in fact one side is the only one left.

The score was about to reach 6:0.

Even the students who couldn't play basketball could see that Li Yan was strolling leisurely, but Qiu Shuli was running up and down, and all the points went to Li Yan... Could this be because there was a gap in their abilities?
This “neural recruitment” is really a great thing!
Li Yan looked calm on the outside, but she was actually very happy in her heart.

It can be said that his control over his body has risen to a higher level. Combined with the ball speed slowing down in his eyes, he is able to hit the ball with the most accurate landing point with the minimum consumption.

Even exerting force becomes very easy.

Qiu Shuli raised his hand to signal Li Yan not to serve the ball yet, and slowly adjusted his breathing.

Li Yan actually appreciated this point. This guy's competitive spirit is really undeniable.

If other opponents were defeated by these few balls, they would probably realize that there is a huge gap in strength and might even lose the confidence to continue the fight seriously.

Just with these few balls, Li Yan's brain buzzed after each one, and his badminton skills directly reached 60 points.

It's as it should be. The hardware is there. It can slow down the opponent's ball speed and reduce your own consumption. It's a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

So for the next ball, Li Yan decided to test another possible direction of "neural recruitment".

Upper limit increased.

Many movements done by humans do not require the involvement of muscles throughout the body. Some seemingly thin athletes can burst out with amazing power in ball sports because they use their strength where it counts.

The so-called "force technique".

There are many "supermen" who do not have large muscle dimensions but can lift extremely heavy weights in the gym. This is because they are very good at exerting force techniques and can fully mobilize the muscles they need.

Sufficiently precise muscle control means fuller and more concentrated mobilization.

Just like Li Yan can now easily and freely hit the ball with extremely strong force.

So, what if you fully mobilize your body and concentrate all your strength at the moment of smashing the ball?
Thinking of this, Li Yan rubbed a small ball that was close to the net, Qiu Shuli took a big step over and picked a high and far ball.

It's indeed quite skilled. To be able to pick out such quality in this position, Li Yan couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Qiu Shuli.

"You still have time to mock me?"

This was Qiu Shuli’s first inner reaction, and it was very real.

Then Li Yan took a few steps back lightly and suddenly jumped up with full power.

Backcourt line, bro!

Qiu Shuli doesn't think that Li Yan will choose to kill this ball. Choosing to kill hard at the baseline in the backcourt of men's singles is equivalent to death. It is a waste of effort to exchange for passiveness. Only a fool would do this, so this ball is most likely a lob.

He had just leaned his center of gravity forward a little when he felt something flying past from his right side with a loud bang.

After hitting the ground, the badminton bounced forward and flew directly to the feet of Ning Yuqing who was standing in the corner.

The girl picked up the ball and threw it to Qiu Shuli, who was in a daze.

His confidence was shattered by this blow.

Never heard of it, damn it. When he was training with the provincial team, he saw the heavy hitters of the adult team didn't even smash the ball like this.

How can Li Yan be at the provincial team level? He can probably play for the national team after two years of training in the national youth team.

What a monster, man?
"Oh my, the string is broken..." Li Yan raised the racket, "I was too aggressive just now, and my movements were not quite right. I'll cut the string. Is that enough for today?"

"Ah..." Qiu Shuli felt that he was sweating and didn't know how to respond.

Ding!
[Badminton +3, Level 63 skill, total ]

[Explosive Power +5, Level 65 Skill, Total ]

[Reaction +3, Level 63 skill, total ]

[Muscle Strength +2, Level 62 Skill, Total ]

The effect is outstanding... Li Yan did use too much force in that last shot, but the burst of power was much more exaggerated than he had imagined.

Although "Neural Recruitment" is not an advanced skill, it has a huge impact on sports-related skills, as if it has raised the upper limit of these skills from another dimension.

This skill may be able to continue to improve, and may even have a miraculous effect on improving IQ.

How can I describe it in one word: cool.

Although his badminton level is only 63 points, which is definitely not up to the national team's level, but when combined with other abilities, the combat effectiveness he demonstrates is far more than 63 points.

Qiu Shuli, you deserved to lose.

Just because he had a "speed" skill with 70% progress, everything he saw would slow down when he concentrated, which was like cheating in the sport of badminton, which depended on his reaction.

Yes, it was cheating. Li Yan felt the pleasure of "superpower sports".

At this pace, as long as he continues to participate in some sports and get himself into shape, he can improve various body function values ​​under the effect of "neural recruitment", which in turn will allow the second-level skill "Body" to break through to 7 points.

With this body as the foundation...

Li Yan, who was dreaming, caught a glimpse of the man squatting on the ground in the hill tree, so he walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"You are quite strong. Let's spar again next time we have a chance."

Qiu Shuli's mind was still full of the horrifying moment that had just occurred.

"Here's the racket for you. I'll borrow it from you next time we play tennis."

What kind of operation is this...

Qiu Shuli originally wanted to refuse, but then found out that what Li Yan bought was actually the latest flagship racket competition commemorative edition, so he silently accepted it.

Witnessed by classmates in the Excellence Class, this incident became a story of heroes appreciating each other, and "Li Yan's gift of a photo" became a synonym for "affirming the other person's level."

Qiu Shuli is a person who can take it or leave it. He can be very arrogant when he is full of confidence, but he can also accept the loss. On the contrary, he expressed that he needs to learn from Li Yan and hopes to learn more from her in the future.

"Honestly, I think you are definitely at the level of a national youth team."

"No, no." Li Yan really didn't think so.

"It's no problem to say that you beat me with these few shots. You are a level higher than me." Qiu Shuli shook his head and laughed, "You are so much stronger than the provincial No. 1 player, how come you are not at the national level?"

"No. 1 in the province? Who?"

…and squatted down in the hill and tree again.
