Chapter 387 Miracle Boy
Of course it’s not acting, it’s a breakthrough.

The third-level skill "Physical Strength" successfully exceeded 60%.

This breakthrough did not come suddenly at all. When Li Yan simultaneously felt the flow state of maintaining a steady rhythm and the pain of his physical strength hitting the wall, he knew that the time for a breakthrough had come.

After all, I ran 20 kilometers in one breath at the pace of a first-class athlete. I also tried my best to fight against all kinds of discomfort in the process, and even reached a state of flow that can stably control the body's output and reduce the body's energy consumption.

If this level can’t be broken through, then isn’t the 60% level a bit too awesome?
Along with the improvement of physical strength and Li Yan’s 20 kilometers of training, some level 4 skills were also upgraded.

"Muscle endurance" increased significantly, with two points added at once, bringing the total to 63 points.

"Cardiopulmonary function" very naturally broke through the 60% mark and reached 62 points.

Breakthroughs were also achieved in "running" and "body coordination", and "willpower" was successfully improved by one point.

All in all, Li Yan’s live performance is one where she looks brand new as she runs.

Tao Yadong must have seen it. He was still surprised that Li Yan was going to run a full marathon. He was hesitating whether to slow down appropriately to let Li Yan follow. He was struggling with a bunch of messy things in his mind, and suddenly he saw this kid catching up.

The momentum was stronger than before, like a different person at the half marathon finish line.

Even have the time to fucking respond to the message in the headset?
crazy?

Dr. Ding is trying to explain to Director Liu why he let Li Yan continue running.

Even medical device manufacturers were so anxious that they called to say that their products would never have data errors.

"It could just be a malfunction. It's impossible for a heart rate of 180 to be displayed as 150."

Li Yan quickly entered the flow state again, maintaining a very stable rhythm, following Tao Yadong.

At one point Tao Yadong even felt that it was not Li Yan who was following him, but he was following Li Yan, or they were both just following the pacemaker in their hearts.

What he found very hard to accept was that Li Yan actually ate three energy gels and drank half a bottle of water in one go at the next supply point.

Are you hungry?

How can there be such a magical person?

Two hours passed in a flash, and even Tao Yadong felt extremely tired.

The most outrageous thing is that his current pace is faster than his personal best...

He is not a very high-level athlete, otherwise he would have followed the leading team to pursue good results. Anyway, he is just a player who has just passed the first-level line and has average talent. It would be more interesting to take this legendary genius boy with a full story for a run.

But as she was running, when she reached the stage where she would normally slow down, Li Yan didn't slow down!

Can he bear this?

Li Yan's physical condition has been refreshed after the improvement of "physical strength", and the influence of the third-level skills is still very large.

If you want to be physically energetic, you must get rid of physical fatigue, muscle soreness, hunger in your stomach, etc.

He took three energy gels just to avoid hitting the wall again in the second half, because it felt very uncomfortable.

And he was carrying a detector with him, which made him so confused and confused that it’s hard to explain.

For him, who has made a breakthrough in his corresponding ability, there is only one result for the remaining half marathon - to be faster than the first half.

He did not speed up or slow down specifically, but just maintained a stable state. When he was five kilometers away from the finish line, he gave up the pursuit of "stability" and instead adjusted his speed according to his physical condition.

At this time, Tao Yadong was already exhausted from the speed he had been running at in the second half. He was stunned to see Li Yan showing signs of speeding up.

"What the hell, minors just like to show off. I was fooled by him!"

This was what Tao Yadong was thinking, and he was howling in the corner of his heart.

He no longer believed that Li Yan was a novice. The clumsy look in the beginning and the exhausted look in the middle must have been pretended by this kid!
His idea was consistent with that of everyone in the command room: Li Yan was just a minor after all, and the love of showing off was ingrained in his bones.

If Li Yan knew this, she wouldn't know whether she would be happy or speechless.

In the end, Li Yan finished the race in 2 hours, 26 minutes and 31 seconds, forcing Tao Yadong to achieve his personal best.

After crossing the finish line, Tao Yadong, who had broken his personal limit, walked forward for a long time before supporting his knees with his hands, standing up and bending over repeatedly, expressing the idioms such as "breathing like a cow" and "sweating profusely" very accurately.

Li Yan was actually quite tired, and as soon as she reached the finish line, a group of medical staff surrounded her.

This made him feel a little uncomfortable, as if he was going to collapse after running this trip?
So Li Yan pretended to be relaxed, walked towards Tao Yadong calmly, and shook hands with him and high-fived him.

Then the two of them walked to the rest area to replenish their energy.

The group of high-level athletes who finished the race earlier, including international friends, showed some curiosity about Li Yan.

After all, it's a strange face.

After Tao Yadong explained that Li Yan was a minor, everyone did the same thing - widening their eyes, opening their mouths and covering their heads.

Waves of "OMG" rose and fell.

But soon, Li Yan was forcibly taken to the medical room for a physical examination.

He was a little dissatisfied with this at first, but when he saw a beautiful figure standing at the door of the medical room, he accepted it.

This time it was Wei Yunzhi's request, "It's just a simple check to see if there is anything wrong with your body."

Li Yan shrugged. "You dare to wait for me at this destination, and you still think there is something wrong with my health?"

“Believe is believe, worry is worry.”

OK, Li Yan said it was very useful.

Tao Yadong suddenly realized what was going on when he saw all this. "No wonder I said this guy could create miracles. It turned out to be the power of love!"

"Don't talk nonsense," Director Liu appeared in the rest area at some point, patted Tao Yadong on the shoulder with a smile, "We are all minors, what's the point of love?"

"Hahahaha, Director Liu is right."

"How was it, being chased by this kid all the way?"

Tao Yadong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Is this how other people see it?
"It's great. I broke my PB and was photographed all the way. I've never been treated this way before."

There was cheerful laughter in the lounge.

In the medical room, while conducting a basic examination of Li Yan, Dr. Ding couldn't help but ask:

"I really can't understand, Li Yan, how did you suddenly recover from fatigue after the half marathon finish line?"

"My breathing method was wrong at the beginning, and maybe you can't tell, although my posture looked good, it actually consumed a lot of energy, which made me exhausted after half the race. Then I tried to adjust my breathing method, and it became smooth all of a sudden."

What the fuck is that it will be smooth after just a little scream?
Dr. Ding couldn't accept this at all!

Can adjusting your breathing cause a big drop in your heart rate?
Can you recover from extreme fatigue in an instant?

"Take a look," Dr. Ding even took out the record, "I really don't understand this value."

"Doctor Ding," Li Yan immediately patched up, "It is also possible that the patch failed to sense the problem due to long-distance running, or that the contact was poor due to excessive sweating. Perhaps my transformation process was gradual, and the data just happened to be wrong."

Dr. Ding's face was full of rejection and helplessness.

You can't say that this kid is cheating and becoming a superman, right?
"This is a miracle boy." Dr. Ding convinced himself.

It was this name that gave Li Yan goosebumps.

Like some characters in American superhero comics.

Those roles are often played by middle-aged men with beards.

The physical examination was normal, and the organizer and Wei Yunzhi were relieved.

"That's amazing." The little beautiful girl said this sincerely.

"It still took some effort." Li Yan said this from the heart.

Wei Yunzhi really likes this "serious pretense" thing, and her eyes are almost shining. "I am really curious about your body!"

Girl, do you know what you are saying? Fortunately, there is no one around, otherwise...

The door to the lounge area was just pushed open and three media teams came out.

Li Yan could only hope that no one heard what she just said, but even if they heard it, it would probably be okay. Seeing how they pointed the camera towards the ground because Wei Yunzhi was present, Wei Yili's pressure might be much greater than she imagined.

"They want to interview you," Wei Yunzhi said to Li Yan, "How about I wait for you in the restaurant first?"

"Dining room?"

"A buffet was arranged after the game."

"Let's go get something else."

"it is good!"

The reporters acted as if they saw nothing. As soon as Wei Yunzhi left, they immediately raised their microphones and cameras and pointed them at Li Yan.

The questions that came up were all boring, like "What's your experience as the first minor to participate in a competition?" and "What's your experience as the first time you finished a marathon?"

Regarding the questions about experience, Li Yan can be said to be emotional:

“It is recommended that you participate in a marathon scientifically and carefully if you are prepared and capable. The first marathon in your life will definitely lead to a breakthrough.”

The reporters were very satisfied with this answer, and Director Liu who was standing behind was also very satisfied.

It’s just that the breakthrough that Li Yan talked about is not the same as what everyone understands.

"As a minor, you ran at the level of a first-class athlete in your first marathon. How do you feel about that?"

"Uh, not bad."

The response was so bland that it caught everyone by surprise.

It’s not that Li Yan is deliberately showing off, but now he doesn’t like to add the restriction of “peers” before “awesome”.

Therefore, even a first-class athlete cannot even rank among the top ten in this marathon.

The reporter came prepared. The ace reporter of New Taipei TV knew Li Yan's personality and thought that this question was not enough for him to show off, so he said:

"I know that you are very versatile in sports. You are very good at ball games and short-distance running. Judging from your figure, you don't look like a typical long-distance runner. If you compete with them in short-distance running, the gap may be greater than it is now..."

"If I were to compete, I'd definitely compete with a marathon runner."

The reporter didn't know whether this wave of praise was correct or not, but it was edited into the video anyway. When the program was broadcast, a warning sign was added that "minors are not recommended to participate in marathons", and Director Liu was asked to introduce the lighter "city run" and "color run".

They knew Li Yan's influence among young people. If a large number of minors signed up for the marathon, it would be a disaster if one or two accidents happened.

However, the impact of Li Yan's participation in this competition was spread in a way that no one expected.

"If I have to compare, I'll definitely compare with XX."

This statement, which specifically attacked the opponent's strengths, gave the teenagers, whose middle school spirits were burning, an outlet to vent.

The competitive spirit was ignited and the fire even spread to the classroom.

Many children with average grades tried hard to catch up with the top students in the class and studied so enthusiastically that Li Yan became like a spiritual mentor.

But that’s all in the past. After the interview, Li Yan recovered his strength quickly and felt hungry quickly, so he rushed to the beef hotpot buffet restaurant where he had an appointment.

"I didn't expect you would like to eat this." The location was chosen by Wei Yunzhi, which was a little beyond Li Yan's expectations.

"I guess you must eat meat."

"No, I think I can swallow the earth now."

After wolfing down a meal, Li Yan realized that Wei Yunzhi was supporting his head with both hands and looking at him with a smile.

"You don't want to eat?"

"I've already eaten a long time ago. I'm not running a marathon."

Li Yan glanced at the twenty or so empty plates piled up beside her and said jokingly, "I made a profit from this meal. I earned back your share."

Wei Yunzhi smiled even more happily, her eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, which some people called moon eyes.

Especially contagious.

"Are you full?" Wei Yunzhi asked when he saw Li Yan also stopped.

"Well, take a break..."

"Go to the company."

Hmm? How did she know that Mr. Li was in a hurry to go to the company?
"Although I want to go shopping and chat with you, you said before that you were very busy. I guess you are under a lot of psychological pressure to take time out to run a marathon?" Wei Yunzhi's expression became very gentle.

"Uh..." How should Li Yan answer this?
It is true that I am very busy, I do find time for the marathon, and the pressure is indeed great, but it is not the composition you described.

"So, you're probably thinking about your phone right now, so go back and face the problem. I don't want you to be thinking about going back to the company but feeling embarrassed about not being with your friends."

"Okay." Li Yan simply responded, "I am indeed in a hurry to go back, but there is no such thing as being embarrassed for not accompanying a friend."

Wei Yunzhi blinked twice, and his eyes dimmed a little after all.

The two of them had already packed their things and walked to the store door, ready to get in the Mercedes-Benz that took Wei Yun to and from school every day.

Send Li Yan to Future Technology first.

Just before getting on the bus, Li Yan added what he hadn't finished saying:
"I just feel a little regretful that I can't be with the good friends I want to be with."

Until Li Yan got out of the car and walked back to the office, Wei Yunzhi kept looking at him with pursed lips in the car.

There is light in his eyes.

Today is Sunday, but Sun Miao is in the company. He feels like a practitioner who has discovered the secret book of magical skills but is unable to comprehend it. He feels very uncomfortable.

Am I the protagonist of the novel, who relies on the guidance of the immortal master Li Yan to comprehend the magical skills and reach the pinnacle of life; or am I just an insignificant supporting role, who with a mortal body mistakenly grasps the magical skills and ends up becoming possessed?

Then he ran into his boss who had just returned from a marathon.

"Brother Miao, so enthusiastic?" Li Yan saw the lights on in the laboratory on the second floor and went over to take a look.

"Mr. Li, you..." Sun Miao didn't know what to say. He couldn't ask if I was tired. "After all, the pressure of development work is there, and I don't have much to do at home. Why don't I come here to study?"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You get dividends, but no overtime pay." Li Yan smiled and went back to the office.

Sun Miao just nodded and continued to comprehend "resonance". He worked very hard and kept trying to modify his ideas, but he just couldn't get the point.

Probably because there is no key point at all.

Li Yan was in a hurry to come back, naturally to test the results.

This is the result of a physical breakthrough.

But first thing, get some sleep.

Although his "physical strength" skill had been broken through during the marathon, thus refreshing his condition, he had also consumed the physical strength of a half marathon. He definitely did not dare to overclock if his physical strength bar was not sufficient.

Take a nap to relieve your fatigue, get up, drink some water and eat some fruit, have a nutritionally balanced dinner, and take a comfortable hot bath. Then you can use your overclocked brain to explore breakthroughs in computer skills for the second time.

As a result, the three alarm clocks set for two hours failed to wake Li Yan up, and one of them even ran out of battery.

Li Yan slept until eight o'clock in the evening before getting up.

Accompanied by a "ding" in the brain.
