Duke won the 400-meter freestyle, but he couldn't leave the swimming pool yet, and after all the freestyle competitions, there would be a medal ceremony and he had to take the stage to receive the prize.

On the way back to the locker room, the system prompts: "Complete the quest [I have a heart for a champion] and get 20 reward points." Issued a new mission [Attack on the Champion], which requires: Win a championship in a higher-level match; Mission Base Reward: 30 Reward Points. ”

After the completion of the quest [I Have a Champion's Heart], 20 reward points have been received, this time only 20 basic reward points have been awarded, and no additional rewards have been generated. It seems that certain conditions have to be triggered in order to get additional rewards, similar to the hidden quests in online games.

"Attack on the Champion, a higher level of competition? Then it looks like I have to go to the 9th National Universiade next month. ”

Duke went into the locker room to take a shower, and he didn't immediately use the 20 bonus points to buy stunts or stats, but kept them for the time being. Bonus points This thing is not instant noodles, and it won't expire after a long time, so you can use it whenever you want.

After a short lunch break, the afternoon race continued. This was followed by seven competitions, including the men's 200m, 100m and 50m freestyle, and the women's 400m, 200m, 100m and 50m freestyle. After the race, two women's teams from the Normal University and the University of Science and Technology performed a performance.

At 5 p.m., the flower swimming show ended, and then the award ceremony for the freestyle event began.

In chronological order, Duke's men's 400m freestyle was the first freestyle event to start, so he was the first to take the stage to accept the prize.

A podium was set up on the shore of the pool, and the passionate and majestic "Athletes' March" sounded, and the three runners-up of the men's 400-meter freestyle wore the sportswear of each school and walked in line towards the podium.

The first runner-up was the third runner-up, a player from Southern University of Technology. Du Ke was in the center, and the runner-up Xu Wenlin was behind him.

Xu Wenlin was unhappy, helpless, and very unconvinced, staring at Du Ke's back. It took him an afternoon to figure it out, what was the situation with the last turn, the last 50 meters? Why was it suddenly given a second by Duke?

The Sports Institute sent a total of ten players to participate in the swimming competition of the Provincial Universiade, nine of whom won the championship, and the only one lost the championship was lost to Xu Wenlin. Athletes are competitive, and Xu Wenlin, who lost the game but was unwilling to gamble and lose, was of course very unhappy at the moment.

Duke maintained a reserved smile, looked proud, and frequently waved to the spectators.

The three winners stood behind the podium, and the host began to announce the awards: "Men's 400m freestyle, the third place winner is Fang Wei from Southern University of Technology, congratulations to Fang Wei!" ”

The third-place finisher walked up to the podium in third place with a smile on his face, and it seemed that he was quite satisfied with the result.

A lady dressed in a fuchsia cheongsam walked up to the third-place winner with a bouquet of flowers and presented him with flowers.

There are several young etiquette ladies with graceful figures and good faces at the swimming pool, all wearing slim cheongsam, which has a unique charm and adds a little beautiful color to the scene. These hostesses are selected from the female college students of various schools to serve as volunteers for the Provincial Universiade.

Well-trained Miss Etiquette, the competition venues of the Asian Games, in addition to the level of the contestants not reaching the level of the Asian Games, other hardware and software supporting facilities of the Provincial Universiade are almost in line with the standards of the Asian Games. The southern coastal areas have developed economies, and the organizing committee estimates that the money is not bad, and the scene work is indeed very grand and formal.

The strong baritone voice of the host resounded in the swimming pool again: "The runner-up is Xu Wenlin from the Municipal Institute of Physical Education, congratulations to Xu Wenlin!" ”

Xu Wenlin took the stage and reluctantly squeezed out a smile to take the flowers from Miss Manners.

"Next, please welcome the champion with warm applause, the champion is Du Ke from Nangang University, congratulations to Du Ke for winning the men's 400m freestyle event!"

Duke climbed the winner's podium, received the flowers from Miss Manners, waved flowers, bit gold medals, and posed with a triumphant smile on his face. There was warm applause at the scene, and in today's sports world, the more individual the winner seems to be more sought after by the audience.

"Please ask Director Liang of the Provincial Sports Bureau to award medals to the winners!"

As soon as the host's voice fell, a middle-aged man in a white shirt and black trousers walked to the three winners with unhurried steps, followed by three hostesses, each of whom held a plate with medals and certificates in his hand.

This middle-aged man is Director Liang of the Provincial Sports Bureau, in fact, he is the deputy director, and the director of the Provincial Sports Bureau did not come today, and the deputy word of Deputy Director Liang was naturally omitted by the host.

Deputy Director Liang awarded bronze medals, silver medals and certificates to the third and second runners-up in turn, shook hands with them, and said: "Congratulations, I hope to make persistent efforts." ”

As the champion, Du Ke was the last to accept the award from Deputy Director Liang. Du Ke bowed his head, and Deputy Director Liang hung a glittering gold-plated gold medal for him.

After hanging up the gold medal and issuing the certificate, Deputy Director Liang took the initiative to reach out and make a handshake to congratulate Du Ke, who quickly stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Deputy Director Liang.

Deputy Director Liang smiled slightly: "Du Ke, congratulations, you won the championship and your results are also very good." I hope that in the National Universiade next month, I can see your vigorous posture and add glory to our province. ”

Du Ke also smiled, neither humble nor arrogant: "Thank you, Uncle Liang...... Oh, thank you Liang Ju for your affirmation and encouragement! I will definitely continue to work hard. ”

Deputy Director Liang nodded: "Come on, Director Ke is also happy with your performance today." With that, he turned and walked away.

Du Ke looked at the direction of the rostrum, and vaguely saw a familiar figure, the figure was smiling at him, it was his mother Ke Meihua.

As for Deputy Director Liang, Du Ke is no stranger, they all live in the same community, and their sports community is basically a civil servant in the sports system. Deputy Director Liang is Du Ke's mother's immediate boss.

After awarding the award, stepping off the podium, Xu Wenlin said to Du Ke in a strange way: "Is there a relationship in the provincial bureau?" Can't see that you still have a background? ”

Du Ke replied: "It doesn't matter if you have a background or not, sports competitions only look at the results, no matter if you are a famous player or a child in a poor mountainous area, you can produce results and win championships." Brother, you don't care what my background is, just take care of yourself. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm really underestimating you. I hope you can go to the National Universiade next month, and if you can be divided into a group with me, let's have a real competition. After speaking, Xu Wenlin left hatefully.

"Hey, your kid's heart is the size of a sesame seed, and he has been fighting before he left the province." Du Ke won the gold medal and completed the system task, he was in a good mood, and he didn't bother to worry about him.

……

After the scenery in the swimming pool of the Asian Games City, except for more than a dozen members of the school swimming team who named Du Ke as the new male god in the team, Nangang University did not have a spectacular and touching scene of thousands of alleys welcoming the hero's return.

When Duke returned to the dormitory, the other three roommates were supposed to play games, watch movies, and chase novels, and they didn't know that Duke was going to the sports meeting.

Although the organizers try their best to hold the provincial Universiade very grand, but the provincial Universiade is not high enough, the influence is limited, the one-week provincial Universiade is over, only a TV station in the city reported the provincial Universiade, the report is half a minute.

It was mid-May after the end of the Provincial Universiade, and the school swimming team trained every three or five days, and it was not every day. This season is approaching the end of the semester in college, and as soon as we enter June, various final exams will follow, and the semi-annual college English test will also be held at the end of June.

The members of the swimming team of Nangang University, first of all, are college students of Nangang University, and secondly, they are members of the school team, and they also have to complete their studies, and no one wants to fail the course. So when the end of the semester was approaching, everyone went to study, asked a classmate to borrow a note to review and review homework, and went to the classroom to take a class so as not to be called too many times and was directly judged by the teacher to fail the course.

Duke Duke has been studying lately, and they have a course in their School of Management, "Managerial Economics," which is being examined next week. Most of the textbooks in their university are bought by themselves, go to the bookstore to buy new ones, or find their brothers and sisters to buy second-hand ones. Duke Du Ke bought a brand new copy of Managerial Economics just yesterday and is ready to start working on this course.

After only one day of research, Jiang Zhigang called and asked Du Ke to report to the swimming training team of college students in Nanyue Province.

The check-in location is at the Yingdong Natatorium, not far from Nanda, two subway stops.

Duke came to Yingdong Natatorium with a familiar car, this place is no stranger to him, he has been here many times. This swimming pool donated by a famous wealthy businessman is the training base of the city swimming team, Du Ke often came here to observe the training of the city team members when he was in middle school, and the coach of the city swimming team is Hu Yucheng, Du Ke's father's teammate and Du Ke's uncle.

Du Ke came to the door of Yingdong Natatorium, Jiang Zhigang had already arrived first, and Su Yun accompanied Coach Jiang.

Jiang Zhigang beckoned Du Ke and Su Yun to follow him into the museum, and after entering the museum, they did not go to the swimming pool, but went to the management building in the museum.

When I came to conference room 101 of the management building, there were already twenty or thirty people sitting in it, both men and women, most of them were young people around 20 years old, a small number of them were middle-aged, and there were two silver-haired elderly people.

Du Ke looked around the room and found many familiar faces, these young people are students from various universities in the province, Du Ke and two of the college students had fought not long ago, Xu Wenlin and Zhou Junwei also came.

Those middle-aged and elderly people are the coaches of the swimming teams of various universities, Jiang Zhigang and several of their peers exchanged greetings, a coach from Southern University of Technology pointed to a man wearing the coach uniform of the city swimming team in the conference room, Jiang Zhigang understood, and took Du Ke and Su Yun to the man.

Jiang Zhigang respectfully and politely took the initiative to shake hands with the man: "Hello Instructor Hu, I am Jiang Zhigang, the coach of the swimming team of Nanjing University, and I am now leading the members of our school's swimming team, Du Ke and Su Yun, to report here. ”

"Hello Director Jiang." Director Hu also responded politely, and then he looked at Du Ke and Su Yun, and smiled without saying a word.

Du Ke also learned from Jiang Zhigang's example, shook hands with Coach Hu seriously, and said respectfully: "Instructor Hu, my name is Du Ke, I have admired the name for a long time, please give me more advice." ”

Director Hu "snapped" and slapped Du Ke's palm, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, don't pretend to be with me." ”

Su Yun smiled at Coach Hu quite obediently: "Uncle Hu, Du Ke is right, we have to ask you for more advice." ”

Director Hu patted Su Yun's head lightly: "It's still Su Yun's simple girl, not as treacherous as Du Ke's kid." ”

Seeing that Director Hu, Du Ke, and Su Yun were so familiar with each other, Jiang Zhigang was surprised: "You know each other? ”

Hu Gui is Hu Yucheng, he pointed to Du Ke and Su Yun, and said: "His father, her father, and me, the three of us used to be on the same team, and we all practiced swimming." But now only I'm sticking to the swimming post, my two teammates, after retiring, one sold sports lottery tickets, and the other was responsible for installing national fitness equipment for residential communities and parks. He laughed to himself.

"Uncle Hu, don't mention the courage of the year, Su Yun and I are now the son inheriting the father's business, and the daughter inheriting the father's ambition." Duke answered.

Hu Yucheng pointed to an empty seat in the conference room, "Go and go, don't blow the water, find a place to sit down, everyone is here, and have a small meeting immediately." ”

The conference room is similar to a university classroom, with eight rows of tables and chairs, each row can seat eight people, and now more than half of it is full.

Jiang Zhigang sat in the third row with Du Ke and Su Yun, and he smiled playfully: "You two are still the second generation after a long time?" Su Yun, you've been in the team for almost two years, and you've never honestly explained your family background to me. ”

"Coach Jiang, you haven't asked anyone." Su Yun replied with a little coquettish and a little sly.

At this time, Hu Yucheng, who was standing at the front of the conference room, spoke: "Okay, everyone, please be quiet." Let me introduce myself first, my name is Hu Yucheng, and I am currently the coach of the city swimming team. On June 15th, the 9th National University Games will open in Jinmen City, and our Nanyue Province will send the largest team in history to participate. The participating college athletes come from various colleges and universities in our province, but they will no longer participate in the Universiade in the name of each school, and you will represent Nanyue Province in the competition. ”

"At the request of the Provincial Department of Education and the Provincial Sports Bureau, each participating project should form a provincial training team for a month of unified training to prepare for the upcoming Universiade. With the approval of the Provincial Sports Bureau and the authorization of the Provincial Swimming Team, our city's swimming team is now appointed to undertake the unified training of the swimming training team of college students in Nanyue Province. From now until the end of the Universiade for more than a month, I will serve as the coach of this college training team. I hope you can cooperate with my work, let's work together to create good results, thank you! ”

Pop, pop, there was warm applause in the conference room.

In addition to Hu Yucheng, there were 33 people present, including 26 college athletes from seven schools in the province, and the rest were coaches.

After Hu Yucheng gave a brief explanation, the coaches of each school handed over the information of the players of their schools to Hu Yucheng, and then he left.

These 26 college students, 13 men and 13 women, each occupy half of the sky, and they are very harmonious. They all participated in the just-concluded Provincial Universiade swimming competition, and were selected for this swimming training team by virtue of their results in the Provincial Universiade. It can be said that these 26 college students are the top college swimmers in the province.

Although Su Yun didn't even make it to the final of the 200-meter breaststroke, she also swam a second-class athlete in the preliminaries, and she won a bronze medal last year, so she was also selected.

The situation is similar to Zhou Junwei of the men's team, a student from the Zhucheng branch of Jida University, who swam a first-class athlete in the 400m freestyle preliminaries, because there were two fierce men in the same group, Du Ke and Xu Wenlin, Zhou Junwei was third in the group by a narrow disadvantage of five seconds, and unfortunately did not make it to the final. But his level was put there, and the leaders of the provincial bureau also gave him a chance to be selected.

After the coaches of each school retreated, Hu Yucheng took over the provincial college student coalition. He didn't waste any time, and directly ordered: "You have ten minutes to change equipment and make preparations, and then gather in the pool in ten minutes!" ”
