Chapter 9 Set a small goal first
Yun Yi was looking around, searching for a contestant worth hearing the news. Suddenly, she spotted Lin Xi from a gap in the crowd. She excitedly called out to the photographer, "Quick, take a picture of that girl! She's over there!"
The photographer struggled to find the right angle, and finally captured Lin Xi's face. He zoomed in and gave Lin Xi a close-up of her face.
At this moment, Lin Xi seemed to have sensed something, turned her head towards this side, and smiled at the camera, looking confident and beautiful.
At the same time, in Class 154 of a certain school, Zhu Tingting was flicking her fingers, browsing the live broadcast rooms of various TV stations.
Not seeing Lin Xi, she quickly turned to another one.
Hard work pays off, and it was also a stroke of luck. When she turned to the live broadcast room of the urban channel, Zhu Tingting suddenly shouted, "Lin Xi, I saw Lin Xi!"
Liu Yuan in the back seat quickly came over and said, "Where is it? Let me see it."
"Ahhh, so beautiful, Lin Xi is so beautiful today."
The two of them were shouting loudly in the classroom, and soon everyone in the classroom knew about it.
Some were shouting, "Did Lin Xi really go to the competition? Why didn't I see her on the official website live broadcast room? Where is she?"
"Beijing TV Station Urban Channel Live Room!" Zhu Tingting stared at the screen and shouted, "Look, Lin Xi has so many shots. This reporter must have given so many shots because of how pretty our Xi Xi is—hahahaha."
Everyone in the classroom was busy checking their phones. Although no one here believed that Lin Xi could pass this competition, Lin Xi was in their class.
Her participation in the competition will be a glory for the whole class!
"Ah, I saw that too. There are so many shots!"
"Hey, why aren't they running away yet? What are they waiting for?"
"Oh, did you notice that Lin Xi is standing quite far back? Isn't this a disadvantage?"
"Yeah, she's about ten meters away from the starting line. What a loss! She needs to run ten more meters than everyone else!"
"It's ten kilometers long, so these ten or so meters are nothing. The key is that the start is definitely much slower, which widens the gap."
"Yes, everyone is crowded together and can't run away."
Just when the atmosphere was getting heated, a faint voice suddenly rang out in the classroom, "I remember Lin Xi didn't meet the standard for the 800-meter run last semester."
The classroom suddenly became quiet.
Zhu Tingting and Liu Yuan looked at each other.
Zhu Tingting quickly recalled the scene of her and Lin Xi running 800 meters together last semester. The two of them dragged their steps, their faces were pale, and they collapsed to the ground after the run and couldn't move.
Her excitement and enthusiasm suddenly disappeared. She turned around and glared at the sports committee member who had just spoken, muttering, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
Liu Yuan also turned around and added, "Yes, the important thing is participation. After all, Lin Xi has done what we wanted to do but didn't dare to do."
The sports committee member felt a little aggrieved. He didn't mean to dampen everyone's enthusiasm; he was just stating a fact.
The class bell rang at this moment.
Everyone put away their phones one after another.
Zhu Tingting was extremely reluctant, but she could only sigh and put away her phone.
A class is 45 minutes long. When the get out of class is over, will Lin Xi have finished running?
Lin Xi was still squeezed in among the men. Just when the masculine scent around her was about to make her faint, she finally heard the voice of the loud speaker, "Everyone, get ready. The race is about to start. Everyone, be quiet and listen for the gunshot."
Lin Xi stared straight ahead and got into a starting position. After a short wait, the gun went off and the contestants rushed forward like a tide.
Lin Xi was mixed in the crowd, running forward quickly.
She knew very well that it would be impossible to pass the ten-kilometer weighted cross-country race without several years of professional training. She had never exercised her body in her life and her physical fitness was not good. If she really tried to force herself, the end result would be elimination.
So, in order to save energy, she used her special powers from the very beginning.
Although her superpower is only at level one, she is already familiar with its various uses to the core.
For example, at this moment, with the wind supporting her backpack, she hardly felt any weight on her shoulders.
And every step she took utilized her wind-based abilities.
Lin Xi looked up some information yesterday.
The world record for men's 10,000 meters is over 26 minutes, and it was set by a black athlete with both explosive power and endurance.
In China, the national standard for athletes is to run 10,000 meters within 31 minutes for men and within 37 minutes for women.
Now it is still 10,000 meters, but with an additional load of 10 kilograms, and the terrain is complex with slopes.
Data shows that some soldiers who have been training for many years can run ten kilometers with a load of fifty kilograms, and their fastest time is about thirty-eight minutes.
Last year, the passing score for the 10km weighted cross-country race in "Extreme Survival" was 43 minutes.
Last year, more than 200 people in Beijing passed this project.
After all, this is just a test of the athlete's physical fitness, and it does not require speed.
Lin Xi's goal is to run under 42 minutes, otherwise it would be a bit dangerous to advance to the next round.
She knew very well that even with the use of superpowers, it would be difficult to achieve this goal.
She is only 168cm tall, and her legs are shorter than the tall and strong men around her.
For every step others take, she takes almost two.
With his inherent disadvantages and poor physical fitness, he may not be able to achieve his goal even if he tries his best.
It was just the beginning, and Lin Xi's breathing was still relatively steady. With the help of her supernatural powers, she was very fast.
Along the way, I heard many people saying, "Wow, there are women this year!"
"Yes, she's still a little girl."
"The little girl runs pretty fast."
"Come on, little girl!"
Lin Xi didn't notice these sounds, but saw the one-thousand-meter sign erected on the side of the road. She smiled bitterly in her heart. After running such a short distance, she felt as if her legs were not her own. They were sore and numb. Even if she used her supernatural powers, it was still very difficult to lift her legs every time.
Looking forward, the road stretches endlessly into the distance, and I don’t know where it ends. It’s simply despairing.
As soon as this thought arose, Lin Xi stopped it in time.
She knew she couldn't think about it; it would only make her more desperate.
She remembered what a big shot once said: set a small achievable goal for yourself first, for example, I will earn 100 million first.
Lin Xi also decided to set a small goal for herself first.
She set her sights on a man in a blue sportswear in front of her, overtaking him!
