âItâs fine. Keep up the good work tonight. You might get something in return.â
âStop, stop, stop. Brother Lin, stop scamming me. Let me live for a few more years.â
âDamn it, I gave you a chance, but you couldnât even seize it.â
âIâm a mortal after all. I really canât carry a player of this level.â
âAlright, stop dawdling. Pack up, get up, and get ready.â
The two of them went to the bathroom to wash up and then went to the canteen to eat.
âF*ck, he actually went to Instructor Guâs side to eat. How could he have the cheek to do that?â Zhang Peng said.
Although everyone wanted to get close to the instructor, no one was shameful enough to do such a thing.
But Zhou Xinghai did it.
âActually, thereâs nothing much to say about this kind of thing. Coincidentally, such people are quite popular in the workplace.â
âThatâs right. Everyone likes bootlickers.â
âLetâs just ignore him. Letâs go eat first.â
The breakfast in the canteen was sumptuous, but it was still lighter than lunch and dinner. This was in line with the Huaxian diet.
They wouldnât be able to digest anything too greasy in the morning.
Halfway through the meal, Li Xianghui walked up to Lin Yi. âGather at 7:30 and take them for a stretch. Then, weâll officially start training at 8:00.â
âGot it.â
Li Xianghui nodded. Then, he took his plate and went to get some food. He was yawning non-stop. It was obvious that he had not slept well.
After dinner, everyone arrived at the field one after another.
As the team leader, Lin Yi also shouldered the responsibility and organized everyone to undergo simple stretching.
His role was a little like that of the sports committee in school. He helped the teachers do some chores, but he did not have any substantial authority.
At eight oâclock in the morning, everyone stood in formation. Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran walked over from afar with a stopwatch in their hands.
âTodayâs morning physical fitness test will be conducted according to military standards. Completing a 5-kilometer run in 23 minutes meets the standard, 20 minutes is considered good, and 19 minutes is excellent. These results will be recorded in your assessment scores. You have 10 minutes to warm up before the test begins.â
âFive kilometers in 23 minutes!â
Everyone complained. They felt that this was a task that could not be completed.
If they were from the army, such a standard was nothing. Most of them could complete it.
However, most of them had graduated from the police academy. Although they had received some basic training, they were only slightly fitter than ordinary university students. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was obviously a little overboard to ask them to meet such a standard.
Only those who were especially good at running could barely reach the standard, while the rest could not.
For example, it was already very impressive if they were able to run it in less than 25 minutes.
In fact, it was already not easy to complete it in 30 minutes.
Now, they would only have 23 minutes. Wasnât this heaven-defying?
âInstructor, can you be a little more lenient? This request is a little difficult for us,â Zhang Zixin said.
âEven if itâs difficult, you have to persevere. Donât forget your identities. After wearing this uniform, youâre no longer ordinary citizens. You have to hold yourselves to the high standards!â
âBut 1 donât think anyone here can finish it.â
At this moment, Zhou Xinghai did not say anything.
This was because when he was in university, he had done a test. His best result was 24 minutes.
Now, it had been almost half a year since graduation. He did not exercise in between. Forget running it in 24 minutes, it was already not bad if he could finish in 25 minutes.
âJust because you canât do it doesnât mean others canât.â
Gu Yiran looked at Lin Yi, âAs their team leader, you have the responsibility to set an example for these people, donât you think so?â
âIâm just helping to organize them. What does this have to do with me?â
âSince you know your identity, you have to set an example. If you canât do this, wonât you feel very embarrassed?â
Lin Yi felt that this tigress was still challenging him.
They all had the same two eyes and mouth. Why did he have to be more impressive than the rest?
âIf you canât, stand aside. Iâll get someone else to come out.â
âItâs not a big problem.â
Gu Yiran snorted, âAre you sure you can do it in 23 minutes?â
âDonât talk about me. Whatâs your best score?â
â20 minutes and 32 seconds.â Gu Yiran said confidently.
âOh my god, this is too amazing,â Zhang Zixin said enviously. âWeâre both girls, but why is Instructor Gu so outstanding? 1 exhaust myself but still canât match this timing.â
âThereâs nothing to be surprised about. Your situations are different,â Lin Yi said.
âWhen you run, the constant bouncing will definitely affect your speed. However, she doesnât have such worries. Her results will definitely be better than yours.â
âBouncingâ¦â
Zhang Zixin glanced at Gu Yiran.
This seemed to make sense.
âBe serious!â Gu Yiran snorted.
âMy results have been shared. 1 hope you can perform well and not be worse than a woman like me.â
âYou didnât even do it in 19 minutes. Where did you get your sense of superiority from?â
âHeliâ¦â
Gu Yiran glanced at Lin Yi, âThe world record for five kilometers for women is 14 minutes and 11 seconds, and for men, itâs 12 minutes and 37 seconds. Do you think Iâm bad for running it in 20 minutes and 32 seconds?â
âItâs indeed quite ordinary.â
âPhewâ¦â
Zhou Xinghai hissed, âLin Yi, can you have some self-awareness? Instructor Guâs results are already very outstanding. As a boy, you would have run it in around 18 points to be on par with her results. Do you think you can do it?â
âPretty much.â
âThen Iâd like to know, whatâs your best score for the 5k?â
âI havenât run five kilometers before. Still, Iâm a capable guy. It shouldnât be a problem for me to surpass her.â
âBrother Lin is awesome!â Zhang Peng whispered.
âDidnât you say youâre better than me? Run now. If you can finish within 18 minutes, Iâll admit that youâre better than me.â Gu Yiran said.
âIf 1 really run now, can 1 skip morning practice?â
âSure.â
Gu Yiran agreed without hesitation, âBut if you lose, everyone will practice for an extra two hours today.â
âNo, no, no.â
Zhou Xinghai stepped out and stood beside Gu Yiran.
âInstructor Gu, Iâm not with him. Please donât count me alongside him. We canât be punished for his failure.â
âMe too. Iâm not familiar with him, so 1 wonât get involved,â Ding Peng said.
Seeing the two of them stepping out, Gu Yiran crossed her arms and looked at the others.
âDo any of you want to join him? If he loses, youâll have to train for two more hours. Itâs not much. If you feel that youâre full of energy, you can give it a try.â
âWe wonât bother. An average athlete can achieve such times, but I donât believe he can finish within 18 minutes.â
âHe had never run five kilometers before. He probably misunderstood this distance. In the end, he didnât even know how he died.â
More than 20 boys stood on Gu Yiranâs side, leaving only Zhang Peng and a few girls on Lin Yiâs side.
âInstructor Gu, thatâs not right, is it? Why are you threatening them?â
