So she said, "Don't worry, we're all amateurs. Although I used to be a diver, I'm not good at short track swimming. Come on, don't hesitate. It's okay if you lose, we're just having fun."

"All right."

The cat went into the water.

After they were ready, the referee suddenly blew his whistle!

The cat dashed out!

A moment later, she peered out from the finish line, and the athlete timing her pressed the stopwatch. Looking at the time on it... she froze.

"Holy crap! Fifty meters... the cat finished swimming?!"

"Everyone else had only swum halfway, and she'd already finished?! Are you kidding me?!"

"Am I dreaming? Did she fly there?"

In an instant, many people rushed over, even the director was in a panic, "Has the timer been started? How long is it?"

The athlete timing the timer looked up blankly. "I suspect the timer is broken."

Director: "It's broken? That can't be!"

"If it wasn't broken, how could the cat have swum fifty meters in just thirteen seconds?"

Director: "What? Thirteen seconds?!"

He grabbed the timer and glanced at it; it was indeed thirteen seconds, not a fraction of a second off!

"That could indeed be broken..."

The athlete next to her said, "No, the cat really swims fast! It shouldn't be broken!"

"Take another timer and compare them, then you'll know."

So the director used a timer for comparison.

He quickly looked up. "Exactly the same. The timer isn't broken..."

At this point, the others also swam to the finish line one after another.

Ye Jingyi looked at Maomao, utterly devastated: "Maomao, are you even human? I was on the track next to you, and I just saw a shadow dart past, and then I watched you swim to the finish line right before my eyes!"

"By the way, how many seconds did the cat take?"

The director was still in shock: "Thirteen seconds..."

Ye Jingyi was also stunned. She was in second place, and she was already very fast, but it still took her a full thirty-seven seconds!

"The world records for the 50-meter short track swimming are 20.91 seconds for men and 23.73 seconds for women, and a cat's 13 seconds?! My God, am I hallucinating?"

silence.

Everyone stared at the cat in disbelief.

"...a new world record was set under these circumstances?"

No wonder they were shocked; this simply shattered the limits of human capability! Such a timeframe shouldn't even exist!

The cat looked at them and said, "I told you not to compete, but you insisted. Now, what kind of expressions do you have?"

She had already tried to control her speed a little, but it was still a bit too fast.

Ye Jingyi: "Kitty! You're truly gifted! You didn't want to compete just now because you thought you'd win? You're being too modest!"

Just then, someone suddenly said, "Head Coach, what brings you here?"

The crowd parted, and a capable-looking woman walked over. She was Chen Hong, the head coach of the national swimming team.

"I just heard someone swim 50 meters in 13 seconds? Of course I have to come and see, who is it?"

Chen Hong happened to be passing by when she heard the startled shouts coming from inside the museum, and was immediately drawn in.

The girl timing the swimmer enthusiastically exclaimed, "It's Kitty, Coach! She really swam in thirteen seconds!"

Chen Hong politely squatted down and asked the cat, "Cat, can you swim one more time? To be honest, I can't imagine what kind of speed thirteen seconds is."

The others also looked at the cat expectantly.

The national team's head coach has spoken; if she refuses on the spot, it seems like she's being arrogant.

The cat nodded.

Chen Hong: "Give me the timer."

Everyone else stared intently at the cat.

After Chen Hong blew the whistle, the cat dashed out instantly!

Everyone stared at her in astonishment, their mouths agape, because that speed was truly terrifying!

Soon, the cat reached the finish line.

"How was it, head coach? Thirteen seconds?"

Chen Hong, holding the timer, frowned deeply and shook her head. "No."

Cat jumped ashore on her own. She needed to get out quickly, in case they made her swim another lap.

Ye Jingyi immediately handed the cat a towel.

The director said anxiously, "Coach Chen, was it a few seconds slower? But it shouldn't be that much of a difference, right? Maomao swam once, so she must have used up some energy."

"Yes, it shouldn't be much different, right?"

Chen Hong looked up at the cat as if it were a treasure, and said seriously, "Not much difference."

"So how many seconds exactly?"

"Yeah, Coach Chen, hurry up and tell us! We're so anxious!"

Chen Hong finally said, "One second short."

"It's only one second short! That's fourteen seconds! Fourteen seconds is already a world record!"

However, Chen Hong said, "It's not fourteen seconds, it's twelve seconds."

In an instant, everyone seemed to have been struck by a pressure point, and after a while, a chorus of groans erupted!

"Twelve seconds! Not only was it not slow, it was a second faster! My God!"

"I don't even dare to say I'm a professional swimmer anymore..."

"Kitty, are you a mermaid reincarnated?! This speed is inhuman!"

The cat silently dried its hair; sure enough, it hadn't timed itself well.

After a while, everyone still left, their hearts still pounding with excitement.

Chen Hong actually followed Maomao to the changing room. After she came out, Chen Hong said, "Maomao, can I say a few words to you?"

The cat nodded.

Chen Hong got straight to the point: "You are a genius. You broke the world record with ease without any professional training. It would be a shame if such a promising talent like you didn't make it into the national team."
