Chapter 18: The Time to Choose

Now Eden is indeed very confident in his future, as long as he persists in his efforts, sooner or later he will become the world's top athlete.

But there are unforeseen circumstances, in case Yi Dun has a car accident one day and amputates both legs, then the future days will be sad.

……

There are such and such advantages of entering the system, at least you don't have to worry too much about yourself, you just need to follow the command.

If you don't enter the system, in fact, there are also such and such benefits, not to mention anything else, after entering the provincial team, Yi Dun wants to be a marathon bounty hunter again? That might be harder......

……

chatted with Luo Jianjun for nearly an hour, and Yi Dun didn't give a positive answer in the end, because he was also in a dilemma now.

Luo Jianjun is not in a hurry, at least he has now shaken Yi Dun's idea of joining the provincial team.

……

After leaving the principal's office, Yi Dun went directly to his second uncle Yi Yeguang.

For this kind of big thing, he must still listen to the second uncle's opinion.

"The principal doesn't want you to go to the provincial team, he wants you to stay in Songyang Sports School." The second uncle said with a frown.

Yi Dun nodded, "Second uncle, what do you think I should choose now?" ”

Hearing this question, Yi Yeguang's brows twisted into twists.

His original plan was to let Yi Dun go directly to the provincial team, which is the most standard promotion process for domestic athletes.

It can be said that any up-and-coming athlete in China is an athlete within the system, without exception.

Now Yi Dun has the opportunity to enter the system, and it stands to reason that Yi Yeguang should support it, but now he is indeed a little hesitant.

Principal Luo Jianjun is right, entering the system is very restrictive and not so free.

Moreover, even if you don't enter the provincial team now, you will not have the opportunity to enter the national team directly in the future.

As long as Yi Dun is strong enough to help the country win the championship in international competitions and win glory for the country, it doesn't make much difference whether he can enter the system or not.

In some countries' traditionally weak sports, such as long-distance running, China has no chance of winning international competitions.

Not to mention winning the championship, he may not even have a chance to enter the finals, in this case, even if Yi Dun can only reach the finals, even if he is not an athlete in the system, the Sports Bureau will definitely give him the opportunity to participate.

After all, it was originally destined to be a situation where there was no harvest, let Yi Dun try it, and if there is a harvest, it will be earned, and there will be no loss if there is no gain.

……

Whether or not he enters the system is enough to affect the future of Yi Dun's future life, so Yi Yeguang does not dare to give suggestions casually.

"Yi Dun, you are not too young now, you are already an adult, I think you can make your own decisions about this matter."

"By the way, I saw a news on the Internet yesterday that there is an international marathon in Qinglian City, with a prize of 20,000 US dollars for the first place, and a prize of 2,000 US dollars for the top eight."

Yi Dun was shocked, 20,000 US dollars? How much yuan is that? 160,000?!

Such a high prize directly scared Yi Dun.

160,000 yuan is enough to buy a small house in Luoyang County.

Even if you run in eighth place, it will be about 16,000 yuan!

The temptation was too great for Eden.

Even if he only gets the eighth place, it is worth more than half a year's salary of his father.

"Second uncle, when will this game start?" Yi Dun asked.

"There are still eight days to go, but the deadline for registration is three days away, so if you want to attend, you have to leave early."

Yi Dun nodded, he had participated in a marathon before, but that marathon was quite amateurish, and it was completely an activity for the merchants to promote for themselves.

This is an international marathon held in Qinglian City, and it is very likely that foreign professional runners will participate, so it will naturally be more formal.

This marathon was very attractive to Eden, but the provincial team also asked him to report to the provincial team within a week.

If you go to the provincial team to report, then this marathon is probably not a chance to run.

……

It seems that now is really the time to make your own decision, is it to report to the provincial team? Or go to this international marathon?

After thinking about it, Yi Dun finally made up his mind that the provincial team's affairs should be slowed down first, and he would run this marathon first.

Now that he is poor to death, the previous bonus of 5,000 yuan has already been spent, and he is such an adult, so he will not reach out to his father to ask for money again.

The prize money for this marathon is quite huge, with about 16,000 for the eighth place and about 30,000 for the seventh place.

Because it is an international marathon, the prize money is huge, and it will definitely attract a group of masters to participate, and Yi Dun is not arrogant enough that he will definitely be able to win the championship.

Even Yi Dun felt that he had little chance of running in the top three, his goal now was seventh or eighth, and it would definitely be better if he could move up a little or two.

……

"Second uncle, I decided to participate in this marathon." Yi Dun said with a firm gaze at Yi Yeguang.

Yi Yeguang nodded, he already knew what Yi Dun was planning in his heart.

"Then come on, the path you choose, and you must persevere no matter what."

"Our old Yi family has never had any celebrities for generations, and now I am counting on you to glorify your ancestors." Yi Yeguang patted Yi Dun on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Yi Dun also laughed, he didn't expect that a highly educated person like the second uncle would have this kind of idea of glorifying his ancestors.

"By the way, second uncle, you have to help me figure out a way to do something...... Yi Dun suddenly remembered the embarrassment of running a marathon last time.

That is, Mimi's head bleeds after running......

In fact, it's not just Mimi's head bleeding, but after the last run, the indescribable part also has a little sign of bald skin.

Since he was going to run a marathon this time, Yi Dun felt that he had to protect these parts no matter what.

After telling the second uncle what happened in the last marathon, Yi Dun waited for the second uncle to help him get an idea of how to protect these parts.

Yi Yeguang actually hadn't had much contact with marathons before, but fortunately, now that the Internet is popular, this information can be searched on the Internet.

"Breast patches on your chest?"

"Vaseline on the thighs?"

Yi Dun looked confused when he heard this, he knew that Vaseline had a lubricating effect and could also speed up the healing of small wounds.

My father used Vaseline in the winter when his palms were cracked.

But what the hell is this nipple patch?

"Nipple patches? The kind of stuff that women bring? Yi Dun asked with a sad face.

He didn't want to go for a marathon with a pair of fake breasts......

"Huh? You kid even knows this kind of thing?! Yi Yeguang furrowed his eyebrows, it seems that his eldest nephew is not as simple as he thought.

"It's not that kind of milk patch, it's a marathon professional breast patch, but this kind of thing doesn't seem to have anywhere to buy, and it's usually directly applied to two band-aids."

Yi Dun nodded, if you have a band-aid, that's acceptable, but it still feels a little strange to think of putting two band-aids on your Mimi's head.

……

After separating from his second uncle, Yi Dun went to have dinner and then went straight to the classroom.

Tong Yangling said that he was a surprise for Yi Dun tonight, which made Yi Dun a little "heartbroken", and he didn't know if there was a little girl who took a fancy to him and wanted to confess to herself......
