Coach Li and several others arrived at the lounge and went straight to the podium.
"Hu Tao, is everyone on the track and field team here?"
"Reporting to Coach Li, the track and field team should have 92 members, and 92 members are present. Everyone is here."
As the captain of the track and field team, Coach Li naturally didn't need to know much about the points; Hu Tao gave the answer as soon as he was asked.
"Hmm, not bad, not a single person is late. The main reason I called you here today is to discuss something."
That means our school will be holding a sports meet next month. You can sign up for whatever event you're good at.
However, I must say something unpleasant beforehand: you are all members of the Ocean University track and field team. Since you were able to join the track and field team, you must have some expertise in a certain area, making you one of the best in Ocean University.
If anyone loses in this sports meet, performs poorly, doesn't outperform the department's track and field team, or isn't even on the team, then I hope you can accept that outcome.
Coach Li looked at the ninety-odd players present and immediately gave them a warning.
Bai Yu was indifferent to this. It wasn't that Bai Yu was so confident that he thought he was invincible before the competition, but rather that Coach Li's last words were not directed at him and Wang Hai.
To be precise, even if there are any consequences, they have nothing to do with the new recruits in the track and field team. Coach Li's words were only directed at the veterans of the track and field team, a point that Hu Tao told Bai Yu.
Before coming to the lounge, Bai Yu and Wang Hai didn't know why Coach Li had called them there, but Hu Tao, being a senior student, knew, because he had experienced this kind of thing many times before.
So Hu Tao told Bai Yu all this. He and Wang Hai were both freshmen. Even if their results weren't very good this time, it wouldn't be a big problem. At least they wouldn't be kicked out of the track and field team.
But could Bai Yu and Wang Hai not be good at their studies?
The answer was naturally impossible. Originally, Bai Yu hadn't taken the sports meet seriously, but after Hu Tao said that getting a top-three finish in a particular event would earn extra credits, the nature of the sports meet began to change.
It turned into a battle for credits. In order to earn credits, Bai Yu planned to sign up for the 3,000-meter, 5,000-meter, and 10,000-meter events. As for the 1,500-meter event, which is also a middle-distance running event, he decided to leave it to someone else.
After discussing the sports meet, Coach Li didn't give anyone a chance to speak. Instead, he turned around and left with a few people standing nearby.
"Cousin, is that all? Just because of a few words, you called us to the break room in the middle of the day, and then left? What should we do now? Go back to the dorm and sleep, or what should we say?"
Watching Coach Li and the other coaches walk away, he was momentarily at a loss as to what to do next.
The main reason is that he is still a freshman at Ocean University and has not been in the track and field department for long. Bai Yu is not very familiar with either the coaches or the team members, so he is not as unrestrained in his behavior as he was in high school.
"Go back to the dorm to sleep? Xiaoyu, you're really that bold! What Coach Li just said was a warning to us. What we should be doing right now is going to the track and running laps."
Even if you're just going through the motions, you still have to run that circle. Going back to the dorm to sleep, you're really serious about it. Hurry up and come with me to the changing room, change your clothes, and let's go for a run."
And so, Bai Yu and her companion, who had originally planned to go back to their dorm to take a nap or play some games, were taken to the playground by Hu Tao and immediately put on a ten-lap training run.
It was two hours later when Bai Yu and Wang Hai returned to their dormitory. By then, they were both covered in sweat, their clothes completely soaked.
"Hey, Yu-ge, A-Hai, what have you two been doing? You're all covered in sweat!"
When Bai Yu and Wang Hai returned to the dormitory, Lu Sheng was stunned by their appearance and was very curious about what they had been up to all this time.
"Don't even mention it. The track and field captain dragged me to the track to run. I ran one and a half five kilometers. This rest is terrible. I was too indulgent during the National Day holiday and didn't train properly. I was already tired after only one and a half five kilometers."
As Bai Yu spoke, he took off his shirt and walked towards the bathroom. He was covered in sweat and needed to take a good shower.
As for what he said, it had a touch of Versailles and pretentiousness to it.
For the next few days, Bai Yu went to class diligently during the day, and after school, depending on the time, if he had more time, he would go to the beach to stroll around, go beachcombing, and earn some money.
If there's not enough time, go back to the dorm and play a couple of games, then go to the classroom for evening self-study.
How to describe their harvest from beachcombing these past few days? If Bai Yu hadn't led Li Shuang and the others to dig for seaweed at a crucial moment, they would have been out of luck for several days.
This isn't just one person flying air, but four people from the same dormitory flying air together, which is a bit too exaggerated.
But it really was true. Especially on the 10th, when Bai Yu woke up and looked at his luck value, he was shocked to see a big zero on it.
It's been almost half a year since he got the system. During this time, he's seen luck values as high as 99 points and as low as 1 point.
At the time, he thought that 1 point was the lowest, but who knew that on the 10th, the value was refreshed again, and it actually reached zero point, and it was a capital red zero.
On that same day, Bai Yu didn't see a single living creature on the beach, not even the most common snails and oysters found on the rocky shore.
Just at the last moment, Bai Yu had a flash of inspiration. He couldn't find the seafood, but he could find the seaweed growing on the rocks.
It's possible that Brother Tongzi didn't consider seaweed to be seafood, as it was the only thing left on the rocky beach that hadn't disappeared, which gave them a chance to avoid missing out.
Then the 16th arrived, another Friday, followed by a two-day weekend.
At 3 PM on the 16th, Bai Yu and the others returned to their dormitory after finishing a class. Today's classes were over, and it was time to rest.
"Brother Yu, it's almost the weekend, what are our plans?"
As soon as she got back to the dormitory, Li Shuang lay down on her bed and lazily asked Bai Yu a question.
"What else can we do but stay in the dorm? The weather's been bad these past few days. Didn't you see the weather forecast reminding us to stay away from the river and the sea?"
Bai Yu glanced at his luck value panel, which showed a high of 92 points, causing him to sigh repeatedly.
Although Brother Tongzi gave me a high luck value, I could still feel the rain pattering against the window and the howling wind rushing through the corridors.
Bai Yu glanced out the window and immediately abandoned the idea of going out to the beach. Between making money and his life, Bai Yu decisively chose the latter.
Since last night, the weather in Hai Province has been a bit off. It is said that due to the influence of a hurricane, the entire province has experienced strong winds and heavy rain for the past week, and there is always a possibility that it will turn into stormy weather.
There's an old saying that goes, "The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish," but even if the fish are expensive, you can only make money if you can bring them back safely. If you can't bring them back, then nothing else matters.
"Sigh, I was originally thinking of achieving financial freedom during my four years of university by fishing on the beach. But now, I've only earned a little over two hundred yuan this week. That's far from enough to achieve financial freedom."
"Who says otherwise? Maybe we've just been having bad luck lately. Perhaps after this windy day passes, we can earn more money when we go beachcombing again."
'Five-star red...'
Just as Bai Yu and Li Shuang were chatting about their recent gains, Wang Hai's phone rang, with the same ringtone as Bai Yu's.
Hello, who is this?
"Yes, I'm Wang Hai. Looking to rank up? 200 per rank, 3000 for reaching Master? How many people do you need?"
Two minutes later, Wang Hai hung up the phone and looked at Bai Yu and the other two who were looking at him.
"Brother Yu, I need your help with something. Are you free tonight?"
"It's nothing. From what you were saying on the phone, it sounded like someone wanted you to play games with them to help them rank up, like League of Legends?"
Bai Yu looked at Wang Hai with a lot of questions. From the content of Wang Hai's phone call just now, he could deduce that Wang Hai seemed to be doing game boosting now, but why hadn't he mentioned this before?
"Hey, Brother Yu, this is a new way I've found to make money. Last night when you were offline editing videos, I was playing a game by myself, and the person who was helping me said that my skills were pretty good and that I could do account boosting."
Then last night, that person took me to a game-playing and boosting club, and I earned over two hundred yuan in one night. I was planning to tell you about it, but I just hadn't found the opportunity.
As Wang Hai spoke, he scratched his head, looking slightly embarrassed.
Power leveling? Earning over 200 yuan a night? Is it really that easy to make money this way?
After learning the details, Bai Yu understood one thing: in today's world, nothing is easy, and being a trainee is no exception.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Wang Hai can earn more than 200 yuan in one night. He earned it by winning six consecutive games, turning a Platinum I account into a Diamond account through sheer winning streak.
Strictly speaking, Wang Hai didn't take enough money. He went from Platinum to Diamond, and won six rounds in a row. Taking five hundred wouldn't be unreasonable. However, Wang Hai had never done this before and didn't know anything about it. He just accepted whatever amount was offered.
Even the task assigned to him this time was to upgrade a Platinum 1 account with 100 LP to Master, and he would be paid 3,000 if he succeeded.
After listening to this, Bai Yu immediately had Wang Hai call the other party back, demanding an extra two thousand yuan, promising to upgrade them to master level within two days, or they wouldn't charge any money if they didn't.
After some haggling, the price was settled at four thousand five.
Back in 2015, League of Legends ranks on PC were quite valuable. At that time, there were only seven ranks in League of Legends, with Master being the highest rank and above that was Challenger.
As far as Bai Yu's skill level is concerned, let alone a master, you'd have a hard time even playing a diamond-level opponent.
However, with Wang Hai and Li Shuang Lu Sheng on the team, he can still play support and stay in the Master rank without much trouble.
"Hey everyone, we've got something to do these next couple of days. We'll help the boss get his account to Master rank. Shuangzi and Lusheng will each get 1,000, Ahai will get 2,000, and I'm just a freeloader, so I'll only get 500. How about it? Want to give it a try?"
"Sure, we have to give it a try. Aren't we all internet addicts? We can make money and play games at the same time, why not?"
“Brother Yu, it’s not really appropriate for me to take two thousand. How about the three of you each take one thousand and I take one thousand five hundred? That’s a little more than you guys, but not by much.”
"Alright, take the two thousand I'm asking for. Once this order is finished, you can provide me with meals for a week."
After some back and forth, Bai Yu and the other three had already arranged the profit-sharing ratio before even receiving their payment.
Then the four of them logged in and prepared to play the game. To be honest, it's better to have a club for boosting and playing with others, as it's more convenient to borrow accounts there.
