Ten days later.

Saturday morning, Yuncheng Citizen Square.

As the starting point of the Civic Avenue, today's Civic Square is particularly lively, with flags and gongs and drums waving loudly.

The main square is crowded with thousands of marathon runners, waiting for the race to begin.

The Yuncheng Summer International Marathon has been held for nine times, and its history is not long, and it is far from being comparable with similar events in super first-tier cities such as the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital, both in terms of scale and professionalism.

The events held in megacities such as the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital are the highest level and the most stringent system, and the registration process starts at least half a year in advance, and the applicants have to go through a lot of screening before they can qualify.

Even so, the number of participants in the end is often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

The level of the Cloud City Marathon is much worse, and the number of participants this year is only more than 30,000.

In fact, Yuncheng mainly regards the marathon as a marketing project and strives to make it a city business card.

After all, tourism is one of the important pillar industries of Cloud City.

It's just that this year's prize money for the champion and runner-up has been raised, so not only has the number of applicants broken the record, but also attracted more professional players to participate.

Gao Jing, who was hiding in the crowd, saw more than a dozen black figures at the front of the team.

That's a long-distance runner from Africa.

In the past 8th, 7th and 6th Cloud City Summer International Marathon, the top three finishes in the men's marathon were all taken by African-American runners, and the fifth and fourth champions were also dark-skinned.

The same situation is also seen in international marathons in other cities in China.

No way, African-American runners have always had a big advantage in long-distance running.

So if Gao Jing wants to win the championship today, the opponent must be that group of African-American contestants!

Although he knew that their strength was very strong, Gao Jing was eager to try it at this moment, full of desire to challenge.

Before the race, there was a ritual process, during which a large flock of pigeons were released, and the sky was full of hula and hula.

The leader delivered a speech, and then announced the official start of this year's Cloud City Summer International Marathon.

Syllable!

With the sound of a gunshot, the huge crowd phalanx in the civic square began to move.

It's like a torrent rushing onto Civic Avenue!

The race is divided into a 42.195 km full marathon, a 21.0975 km half marathon, and a 6 km fun run.

Among them, the number of happy runners is the smallest, but the "demons and monsters" are the most, and the runners are dressed up as various anime characters and movie images, such as Iron Man, Spider-Man, Deadpool, Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, Hulu Baby, etc.

They're really participating, and a lot of people are happily holding up selfie sticks to take pictures, and there are also live broadcasts.

However, most of the prize pool of the event is for the winners of the whole marathon.

The whole marathon runner was also the first to start.

Gao Jingbao, of course, was an all-marathon, because he was not seeded, so he was very late in the starting position.

Gao Jing didn't care, the long race of more than 40 kilometers has just begun!

It's not the first time he's running a marathon.

But for the first time, he ran the whole marathon.

According to the plan of the competition, the contestants need to cross the city center through the Civic Avenue, enter the Yuncheng CBD business district to the end of Wanhai Road, and then circle the lake along the Huguang Avenue after arriving at the Yunlan Lake.

The final destination is at Victory Memorial Square.

This route has been carefully planned, which not only meets the requirements of the competition, but also combines the prosperity and natural scenery of the modern city, which can play a good role in publicity.

Especially the Lake Avenue, the scenery along the way is very beautiful.

When he first started running, Gao Jing blended in with the crowd unhurriedly, neither ahead nor behind.

He was dressed in a simple uniform, a bib number with a built-in timing chip, and running shoes were bargains from Taobao.

Traffic control has long been implemented on the wide and straight civic avenue and the surrounding area, and the pilot live broadcast car is driving at the front, and countless runners are running forward.

Both sides of the road were full of onlookers.

Everyone waved small buntings and enthusiastically cheered for the contestants.

"A9274, come on!"

Suddenly, there was a crisp and pleasant shouting from the crowd.

It has attracted the attention of many people.

Gao Jing couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction where the voice came from.

Because A9274 is exactly his race number!

I saw four or five seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls huddled behind the fence, wearing beautiful dresses, some waving at Gao Jing, and some excitedly raising their mobile phones to take pictures of him.

The smile of youth blooms in the summer sun.

Although Gao Jing did not run at the forefront of the team, his height and appearance are undoubtedly outstanding among the surrounding contestants!

So caught the attention of these girls and cheered him on specifically.

Gao Jing smiled and waved at them.

The result was a screaming response.

"So handsome!"

Gao Jing wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and continued to run forward.

Although it has been more than two weeks since the completion of the transformation of his life, the current Gao Jing has not fully adapted to life as a handsome man.

For example, when Gao Jing walks on the street today, the return rate has increased by at least ten times compared with before!

When taking the subway and bus, there are often girls who secretly take photos of him.

If it weren't for his age, and he didn't know how to perform and couldn't sing and dance, Gao Jing would have wanted to try to be a star.

Oh!

The sensation from the copper anchor in his chest made him pat his head hard.

Pigs!

Gao Jinglai's purpose in participating in this marathon is, firstly, to earn living expenses, and secondly, to earn the power of faith for the copper anchor.

Just now, the copper anchor got several "raindrops".

Large particles!

These credibility obviously came from those lovely young girls.

If he can gain the power of faith by getting attention and love, why should he shrink into the crowd and follow?

In fact, Gao Jing was influenced by his habitual thinking in the past.

Thinking about following is the best strategy.

Thankfully, it's not too late to wake up.

He immediately picked up his pace, spread his long legs, and flew past his rivals in front of him.

During this time, Gao Jing has eaten haeze every day and consumed a lot of fat and sugar.

But he has grown taller but has not gained any fat, and his weight is still maintained at about 70Kg, and his body is more agile and flexible than before.

It only took two or three minutes for Gao Jing to successfully enter the first echelon!

The first echelon is composed of more than a dozen African American players, European and American players and domestic athletes, of which African American players account for the majority, and its advantages are very obvious.

They didn't have a long distance from the second echelon behind, but they ran steadily.

Normally, this pattern will remain in place for a long time, until someone falls behind, or someone catches up.

And the high view that suddenly appeared was like a lively catfish, which immediately caused a little chaos.

Several African-American players watched speechlessly as Gao Jing quickly passed past them.

The eyes of the European and American players were full of contempt and disgust.

Two domestic long-distance runners looked embarrassed.

Looking at the number on Gao Jing's back, you know that he is not a professional seeded player.

Rushing to the front in this way regardless of physical strength, there is no other possibility than wanting to be grandiose.

The two are embarrassed by Gao Jing's behavior.

They've competed in a lot of competitions and often meet guys like that.

In the end, there was no one for the whole race.

Of course, whether it's disgust or disgust, no one can say that Gao Jing violated the rules of the game.

These experienced players were not disrupted by Gaojing, and they still maintained a steady pace according to the established tactical strategy.

Gao Jing, who rushed to the first place, immediately got the attention of countless people!

The camera lens set up on the pilot car was focused on him, and the crowd of onlookers on the side of the road cheered.

This is mainly due to Gao Jing's current appearance is very good, otherwise it would not have been possible to have such a big response.

Handsome guys are always welcome.

Gao Jing felt a light rain falling in the copper anchor.

It's just delicious!

The happy mood made his steps more brisk.

Gao Jing widened the distance between himself and several players behind him, keeping it at about twenty or thirty meters, and followed the pilot car closely.

After running for several kilometers, he did not feel the slightest tiredness.

I have complete confidence that I will persevere to the finish line.

Let's move forward.

Run forward and run out of a new life!
