While the online pre-events were in full swing, inside the training room, the athletes who had been divided into groups and registered for their events had already started training with their respective coaches.
Qiao Yiyi had to run back and forth between various sports venues, keeping her busy every day. Fortunately, she wasn't the only one enrolled in multiple sports. To accommodate the athletes' training schedules, the coaches staggered their schedules. So, while the running back and forth between venues was a bit cumbersome, she didn't miss out on training.
Under the guidance of professional coaches, everyone gained a systematic understanding of various sports and learned some professional knowledge and skills.
Qiao Yiyi trained with everyone step by step. After a few days, she was quite good at it. Even the coaches of several projects praised her for her talent.
After finishing training at the diving gym, Qiao Yiyi went to the high jump training room to find Xiong Ying, intending to practice high jump with her for a while before heading to the cafeteria for lunch. However, before she even entered, she heard enthusiastic cheers coming from inside.
She walked in and saw that it was Shen Shuyu, a popular contestant who came to participate in the show.
Chen Shuyu comes from Blue Whale Entertainment, the company that is best at discovering and cultivating idols in the circle. As an artist that the company focuses on cultivating, Chen Shuyu attracted countless fans of both sexes with her salty and sweet style as soon as she debuted.
Her appearance is somewhat similar to Qiao Yiyi. She is tall, with beautiful features, and her long black hair is tied up high, giving her a typical queen style.
The only difference is that unlike Qiao Yiyi's approachable feeling, she is a bit aloof. Although her status cannot be compared with those in the film and television and variety show circles, she is a leader among this group of unknown artists.
The program crew also values her very much. Not only does she stand in the center position in the promotional posters, but she is also given a lot of shots in normal times. In addition, the host cues her from time to time, so the contestants secretly call her the program crew's favorite daughter.
She herself also enjoys this feeling of superiority, so even if there are contestants who try to get close to her and flatter her in order to get a camera, she pretends not to care and graciously accepts the feeling of being surrounded.
Now, after a few days of training, Shen Shuyu is planning to challenge himself to a new level.
She is also a strong-willed person, so she wants to do her best in everything and be the best in everything.
"Shu Yu is amazing! How tall is she? Almost 1.5 meters, that's the standard for a female third-level athlete!"
"Come on, Shuyu, you are the best!"
Without a coach, the entire high jump training room almost became Shen Shuyu's home court.
Qiao Yiyi looked at the lively scene and asked in confusion, "What is she doing?"
"It's said to challenge new heights." Xiong Ying also signed up for the high jump. She originally thought that the high jump would not be difficult, but when she actually jumped, she found that she could not even jump one meter.
After training for several days, seeing that the first official game was about to start, she had to use her rest time to practice more. Unexpectedly, the training room was occupied by Shen Shuyu in the name of challenging new heights.
Qiao Yiyi said "oh".
Xiong Ying muttered, "It's called a challenge, but in fact it's just a desire to show off."
?
Qiao Yiyi looked at her in confusion.
Xiong Ying pointed in the direction of the camera, and Qiao Yiyi understood instantly.
Although it wasn't time for the show to be recorded, the flashing of cameras meant shots. Many contestants would do whatever they could to get in the shot in order to be included in the main film or the behind-the-scenes footage.
As someone who was picked from a girl group talent show, Xiong Ying is well versed in the ins and outs of it.
Shen Shuyu is a hot contestant with high popularity, and other contestants want to use her to hype themselves up, so they are happy to support her. However, this will make it difficult for other contestants who want to train -
Several other girls who had signed up for high jump and whose results were not ideal also wanted to use their break time to strengthen their training. Now they saw Chen Shuyu occupying the entire training room. Although they were also very dissatisfied, they dared not say anything.
Seeing that Chen Shuyu didn't look like she could finish the challenge anytime soon, Qiao Yiyi said to Xiong Ying, "Why don't we go eat first? Maybe she'll have finished the challenge by then."
Xiong Ying snorted angrily, "Who knows? I really don't understand what's so challenging about a 1.5-meter-tall woman. If you didn't know, you'd think she was trying to break the world record."
Seeing her puffed-up baby face, which looked like a cute little hamster, Qiao Yiyi couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, let's go eat first. We'll come back for training after dinner."
"That's right." Xiong Ying complained. "It's not her training center alone. You jumped 1.5 meters last time without any hesitation, but it wasn't like her."
Xiong Ying was talking about the first training session. In order to understand everyone's high jump level, the coach, after explaining the basic high jump knowledge and techniques, kept adjusting the height of the pole to see where everyone's current level was.
For other girls, the maximum height they could reach was 90cm to 120cm, but Qiao Yiyi went all the way up to 150cm.
The coach was very surprised and asked her if she had ever practiced high jump before.
Qiao Yiyi remembered that before she transmigrated into the book, she had participated in a college sports league and trained for a long time, and nodded.
The coach patted her on the shoulder and said that if she practiced hard, she might be able to get good results.
Because Shen Shuyu also signed up for many events, she went to the archery hall first, so she missed the initial trial training and didn't know that the difficulty she thought was something others could easily achieve.
After unremitting efforts, she finally succeeded in challenging the height of 1.5 meters. Now, when she heard that someone had easily achieved the result she had fought for for a long time, she felt a little embarrassed.
There was a girl who had disliked Shen Shuyu for a long time. After her fans manipulated her into creating an all-around big sister persona, she really thought she was the all-around queen.
She deliberately walked up to Qiao Yiyi and tried to get close to her: "Sister Yiyi, why don't you give it a try? Last time, the coach said you danced so well. If you practice more, the championship will be yours."
Qiao Yiyi: “???”
How come she didn't remember the coach saying that?
Qiao Yiyi looked at the girl in front of her with an innocent and kind smile, and for a moment she didn't quite understand what she meant. She waved her hand and said, "No, no, I'm going to eat soon."
But she saw Shen Shuyu walking towards her from the crowd, stopped in front of her, and said with a smile: "The cafeteria won't open for dinner for another half an hour, Sister Yiyi, why don't you practice with me?"
She is not short, even taller than Qiao Yiyi, but her overall aura is still a little inferior to Qiao Yiyi when standing next to her.
Qiao Yiyi really didn't want to join in the fun. She just wanted to have a meal with Xiong Ying after training.
But the onlookers obviously didn't think so. They faintly smelled the tension and, enjoying the fun, started to jeer, "Sister Yiyi, let's practice."
"Yes, yes, let's see who is more powerful between you and Shu Yu."
Even her team leader Liu Jing encouraged her: "Go ahead, Yiyi, you can do it!"
Qiao Yiyi was speechless.
It is said that the desire to win among boys comes inexplicably, and the same is true among girls.
She had only come to make a cameo appearance when she was already placed against Shen Shuyu.
Of course, Qiao Yiyi knew she was being used as a pawn. She guessed everyone had been unhappy with Shen Shuyu's high-profile and overbearing behavior these days, and they wanted to use her to dampen her spirit.
The war between girls is invisible, and there is always a flash of swords and sabers amidst the laughter and joy.
Sometimes I just can’t understand why girls have to make things difficult for other girls.
However, since things have gotten to this point and there are cameras filming it, if she refuses at this time, she will seem coy and inconsiderate.
When the program crew edits the video and posts it online, people will think that she looks down on the younger generation and is deliberately being arrogant and bullying them.
Idols' fans have always been very strong, and Shen Shuyu is on the rise. If she doesn't follow her wishes, she will be torn to pieces by her fans.
So, facing Shen Shuyu's seemingly smiling but actually provocative gaze, as well as the expressions of the people around her who were watching the fun, Qiao Yiyi nodded: "Okay. But..."
She added, "There's no point in just practicing like this. Why don't we have a competition? If you win, you can ask for anything. If I win, you return the training room to them."
Chen Shuyu was very surprised by Qiao Yiyi's challenge, and her face flushed at the same time: "What do you mean I should return the training room to them? I didn't stop them from training."
Several girls who had been waiting for a long time chuckled in their hearts when they heard this.
You almost carved your name on the training room doorplate.
Qiao Yiyi smiled and said, "You are so devoted to challenging yourself that the other sisters are embarrassed to interrupt you."
She said this in a rather tactful way, giving Shen Shuyu enough face.
But Shen Shuyu felt very uncomfortable when she heard it, as if she was deliberately occupying the training room.
Driven by her self-esteem, she met Qiao Yiyi's gaze, thinking, let's compete, there's no way I can lose to you.
"Okay, let's do as you say."
The high jump training room became very lively because of the sudden challenge. The other athletes who were planning to go to the cafeteria for lunch after training heard about it and gathered around.
Qu Fan grabbed Xiong Ying and asked her what was going on.
Xiong Ying then told him the whole story.
"What's that expression on your face? Don't you believe Sister Yiyi?"
As a participant in "My Dream Town" with Qiao Yiyi, Xiong Ying knew full well that Sister Yiyi was a truly remarkable person. She could climb trees, cook, and do anything, except what others couldn't imagine.
She always manages to surprise everyone when they least expect it.
Qu Fan was helpless: "It's not that I don't trust Sister Yiyi, it's just..."
Shen Shuyu is coming with great momentum, and his fans are very brainless. He is worried that Shen Shuyu will lose face and his fans will make a fuss.
A large group of boys and girls gathered in the high jump training room, each with an extremely excited expression on their face.
Especially for the boys, there is nothing more exciting than picking two beauties. They have secretly used the nutritious yogurt that the program team distributes in limited quantities every day as a bet.
"I'll use a bottle of yogurt to crush Shu Yu. I've been on a show with her before, and she's amazing."
"I support her too. She's taller than Sister Yiyi, and generally speaking, taller people have an advantage in high jumps."
"Then I'll also donate a bottle of yogurt to support her."
"Lao Fan, what about you?" Qu Fan's teammates from the men's team poked his arm.
Qu Fan snorted, saying they were childish, and then he took out five bottles of yogurt to bet on Qiao Yiyi to win.
Under everyone's onlookers, a two-person civil war began between Qiao Yiyi and the program team's daughter Chen Shuyu.
The two girls took the initiative to adjust the height of the pole.
One of them asked, "How high do you jump from?"
Shen Shuyu: "Just 1.5 meters."
The sound of boys whistling could be heard from the field.
Generally speaking, for girls who have no basic training, they start jumping from 90cm, and it is very good if they can jump 110 or 120cm.
Those who have received special training, such as those on track and field teams, can probably jump to around 1.3 to 1.5 meters.
More talented students can jump higher, 1.7 or 1.8 meters is possible.
So Shen Shuyu's ability to jump to 1.5 meters is indeed very impressive compared to ordinary people, especially since she had not received any systematic training before.
Both sides take their positions and decide who jumps first and who jumps later by rock-paper-scissors. Each person has two chances, and whoever fails to jump twice loses.
Qiao Yiyi lost the game of rock-paper-scissors, so she jumped first.
When she was in college, she was drafted into the college sports league. Because she had no foundation, she had to go. She had to look for high jump tutorials online, and then found a senior from the track and field team and asked her to guide her training for a period of time.
She is tall, her physical education performance is not bad, and her comprehension is also good. After learning for a period of time, she can dance very well.
What's more, during the time he participated in the program, he was personally coached by the world champion in high jump. Although it was only a few days, the progress was visible to the naked eye.
Qiao Yiyi first stretched her muscles, then found the right position, ran up, took off, and leaped, successfully passing the pole in an extremely smooth posture.
The whole process was clean and neat, without any drag, and completed in one go.
When Xiong Ying saw this, she clapped excitedly.
Shen Shuyu didn't expect Qiao Yiyi to have such an easy time. She felt a little stressed, so she took a deep breath to calm herself down and ran to the vaulting pole.
Passed successfully.
There was an exclamation from the field.
Shen Shuyu's expression was indifferent, and it looked like everything was under her control.
The two girls acting as referees raised the pole a little higher, to 1.55 meters.
The two of them still passed it in one go without any suspense.
Continue to increase the height until it reaches 1.58 meters.
Shen Shuyu barely skipped over it.
When he reached 1.6 meters, Shen Shuyu finally felt the pressure.
I didn’t jump over it the first time, but the second time I adjusted my mental state for a long time and put in a lot of effort to barely jump over it.
Qiao Yiyi is relatively relaxed.
The pole continued to rise, but the outcome was already clear.
The high jump coach came over at some point, squeezed in between the contestants, and watched the two contestants compete with great interest.
The pole was raised to 1.63 meters, and this time, no matter how hard Shen Shuyu tried, he couldn't jump over it.
Everyone looked at Qiao Yiyi, wondering if she could jump over.
Qiao Yiyi looked calm on the surface, but she was actually a little worried.
If she skipped it, she could win everyone back to the training room. If she didn't, she would undoubtedly shoot herself in the foot today, after all, she was the one who initiated the challenge.
Seeing everyone's eyes focused on her, their expressions were filled with all sorts of emotions: some were expectant, some were waiting to see her laugh, and some were pinning their hopes on her with anxious eyes...
Qiao Yiyi calmly opened the animal attribute system, intending to ask a small animal with higher jumping ability to help her complete the jump.
Fleas are the animals that rank first in jumping ability in the animal kingdom, and she has used them before, so she plans to change to another one.
The Kangaroos plan to use it in official competitions later.
The tree frog and jumping spider seem very useful.
Tree frogs have strong jumping ability and are good at both high jumping and long jumping.
Jumping spiders can easily jump over a hundred times their own height.
Comparing the two, Qiao Yiyi decided to keep the tree frog and chose the jumping spider - in case it could be used in the long jump event later.
Although the jumping spider attribute was activated, Qiao Yiyi didn't dare to use too much strength, for fear that if she jumped too high, it would be too exaggerated and no one would believe her.
So after a run-up, she took a light leap and easily jumped over the 1.63-meter pole.
"We win, we win!"
Following Qu Fan's excited shout, the onlookers also cheered.
"Sister Yiyi is awesome!"
"It's amazing. It didn't even touch the pole."
"Our training room is back!"
“That’s why they say there are always people who are better than you and there are always mountains beyond your reach.”
Shen Shuyu's face turned pale and blue, and he said that he had made a mistake just now and wanted to try again.
But at this moment, the high jump world champion coach pushed through the crowd and came over to Qiao Yiyi and said, "Raise the bar a little higher. Can you still jump?"
