Chapter 009: Brother is silently becoming stronger
"If I remember correctly, the men's 400m freestyle Category 1 athlete has a standard of 4 minutes and 21 seconds. In Duke's group, almost all of the top three have reached the level of first-class athletes, and if they can maintain this level, they will be qualified to come to our city's swimming team. It's just the preliminaries, and I'm getting more and more interested in tomorrow's final. Let's go, Lao Du, drink and come back tomorrow. Hu Yucheng hugged Du Dewei, and the two middle-aged uncles quietly left the swimming pool.
Zhou Junwei, who was in third place, also went ashore at this time, he glanced at Du Ke very aggrievedly, and left silently. He can disagree with Duke as a person, but he can't disagree with the results of the competition.
Jiang Zhigang confirmed the preliminaries on behalf of the NTU swimming team and the referee team, while Du Ke walked to the locker room. When passing by the rest area of the Institute of Physical Education, Xu Wenlin, the first group leader who had just landed, applauded Du Ke, the beat of his applause was very slow, with a provocative component, he said to Du Ke from a few meters away: "The performance is very exciting, I hope you can still see your performance in the finals." ”
Du Ke smiled at Xu Wenlin, but he was not angry, and then replied firmly: "See you in the final." ”
Du Ke came to the men's locker room, there were many people in it, all of them were college players who had just finished the competition, the shower pit was full, Du Ke sat on a bench and waited for the pit to prepare for a shower.
At this time, the prompt message of the system is swiped.
"Complete the task [Beginner Swimming] and get the basic rewards: +1 for all attributes, +5 for bonus points, and +15 for skipping the level to participate in the competition."
"Hey, earned, and there's an extra bonus!" Ducole is gone. He made it to the finals and could at least finish eighth, so he completed the task of "playing in an official tournament and getting a place in the rankings".
After +1 on all attributes, Doke's eight attributes are as follows:
Speed: 14
Explosiveness: 8
Strength: 9
Endurance: 14
Dexterity: 10
Tricks: 10
Precision: 11
Constitution: 11
Overall Rating: Semi-Professional (10.875)
Before the completion of this [Beginner Swimming] mission, Duke's average of all attributes was 9.875, and the system rated it as an amateur. The 400-meter freestyle preliminaries in which Duke participated were systematically rated as higher than the level of the amateur class, so Duke skipped the level of an amateur and won an additional bonus point +15.
Xu Wenlin and Zhou Junwei, the two strongest competitors, including Du Ke himself, swam close to the first-class athletes, and even the fourth-ranked athlete in the group who was left behind by the top three also swam the men's 400m freestyle second-class athlete to meet the standard. Therefore, the preliminaries of the first group can no longer be regarded as an amateur competition, at least at the semi-professional level.
With +5 base bonus points and +15 bonus points, Duke now has 20 freely distributed bonus points.
These 20 bonus points are valuable and can directly take a certain attribute up a notch.
What's the best to add? Speed, explosiveness? Or endurance, skill?
Just as Duke was struggling with what attributes to add, he found that the system store was unlocked. When you enter the store, there are three categories of goods that you can consume.
The first is the project category, with a total of 35 major items, and some major items have a number of sub-items and sub-items.
For example, the swimming event is divided into five sub-items, such as swimming, floating, water polo, diving, and open water swimming, and some sub-items are subdivided into several sub-items, such as swimming sub-items, which are divided into four sub-items: freestyle, butterfly, breaststroke, and backstroke. The jumping water event is divided into two sub-events: a 10-meter platform and a 3-meter board.
Track and field events are divided into two sub-events: field and track races, and track races are short, middle, long-distance running, hurdles and other small events. Athletics competitions include high jump, pole vault, triple jump, shot put, javelin and other events.
Swimming and track and field are undoubtedly the most sub-events, and they are also the gold medalists at the Olympic Games.
Some sports have only one major event and no sub-items, such as football, basketball, tennis, badminton and other ball games.
Duke currently has six default skills in the system: freestyle, backstroke, airhand/gun, archery, long-distance running, and tennis. If he wants to master other project skills immediately, he will need to spend bonus points to buy them.
Each item is clearly priced, and there are three consumption grades, 5 o'clock, 10 o'clock, and 20 o'clock.
The 5 o'clock gear includes sprints, triple jumps, cycling, taekwondo, basketball, badminton and other events. The 10 o'clock stall has fencing, snooker, weightlifting, pole vaulting, kayaking and so on. At 8 p.m., there are equestrian, racing, sailing, windsurfing, and skeet and other sports that are difficult to access normally, as well as winter sports such as skiing, skating, and curling.
In short, the more popular and accessible sports are, the cheaper they are, and the more niche they are, the more expensive they are.
The second category of goods in the store is the stunt category, which corresponds to 35 major items and has corresponding stunts for sale. However, the stunts that Duke can buy at present are limited to five major sports, such as swimming, shooting, archery, track and field, and tennis, and other stunts are locked.
The third category of products is body repair, which can be quickly and efficiently used to heal Du Ke's injuries and illnesses by the definition of the system. The consumption of body repair is also divided into three levels, and reward points are required to purchase. 5 o'clock is the minimum consumption, 10 o'clock is the VIP repair package, and 20 points is the premium VIP supreme repair package.
After reading the dazzling array of consumption items in the system store, Duke was even more entangled, and the reward points were not enough! He was only 20 o'clock.
Compared with not having a choice, there are too many options to make it even more distressing.
Just when Duke was very entangled, the system issued a new task: "New task: [I have a champion's heart], task requirements: to win a championship in an official competition." Basic reward for completing missions: 20 reward points. ”
Won a championship in an official competition?
Duke has an official competition tomorrow, the final of the 400m freestyle.
According to the analysis of today's preliminaries, Xu Wenlin from the Institute of Physical Education will be Du Ke's strongest opponent in the final. Duke wasn't sure he would be able to beat him for the title.
Fortunately, Duke had just experienced a +1 on all stats, and with 20 bonus points available at hand, he could strengthen himself immediately.
Duke enters the stunt window in the system shop, and then the swimming stunt mini-window, where he prepares to buy a new swimming stunt for tomorrow's finals.
There are three icons in the Swimming Stunt Sales window, corresponding to each of the three stunts.
Icon 1: Stunt [Dolphin Turn], when turning around, it quickly kicks the wall, reduces the resistance of the water flow and ejects it for a distance, with a cooldown time of 1 hour. Enjoy bonuses to attributes such as speed, explosiveness, skill, and constitution. Requires 10 bonus points. Speed, explosiveness, skill, and physique of 10 or more are required.
Icon 2: Stunt [Leap a Thousand Miles], the take-off distance is increased by 1.5 times, the cooldown time is 1 hour, and you can enjoy the explosive power and skill bonus, which requires the explosive power and skill to reach 15 or more. Requires 15 bonus points.
Icon 3: Stunt [Big Water Wheel], quickly swing your arm and stroke, just like a water wheel running at high speed, increase the forward speed by 40% within 8 seconds, and can be stacked with the acceleration effect of the stunt [8 Kicks], with a cooldown of 1 hour. Requires 25 bonus points. Enjoy the speed, explosiveness, and constitution bonuses, which require speed and explosiveness to be at least 30, and a constitution to be at least 20.
After watching these three stunts, Duke was quite greedy. Dolphin turned? Obediently, isn't it as awesome as the legendary flying fish turning around? Can fly straight out of the water?
Jumping thousands of miles, this stunt is an enhanced jump, except for the backstroke, other swimming styles can be used. This Nima can jump together to increase the opponent's position by half to a position, and it is quite strong in sprint competitions.
The stunt of the big water wheel is even better, accelerating by 40% in 8 seconds, and it can also be superimposed with the 20% acceleration effect of 8 leg hits, and using your hands and legs together is 60% acceleration!
After a moment of greed, Duke was dumbfounded again. The three swimming stunt icons are all red, which is unusable, and you can't use it if you buy it. These high-end goods have requirements for Duke's own attributes.
After careful calculation, Duke added explosive power to 2 of the 20 bonus points available, increasing his explosive power from 8 to 10, and his speed, skill, and physique have reached or exceeded 10, so he now meets the requirements for the use of the stunt [Dolphin Turn].
For another 10 bonus points, Duke purchased the Dolphin Turn Stunt, which changed the icon from red to green and became available.
Duke dragged the dolphin turn stunt into the skill bar, he now has two swimming stunts, 8 leg punches and a dolphin turn.
There are still 8 bonus points left, and without hesitation, Duke increased all of his speeds, bringing his speed to 22, which is the highest of the eight attributes. The speed of 22 has reached the professional level.
After the enhancement, Doke's new attributes are as follows:
Speed: 22
Explosiveness: 10
Strength: 9
Endurance: 14
Dexterity: 10
Tricks: 10
Precision: 11
Constitution: 11
Overall Rating: Semi-Professional (12.125)
At the same time, Duke found that the acceleration of the 8 leg hits in the stunt had been increased from 20% to 22%. This stunt enjoys speed, explosiveness, and skill bonuses, and Duke's attributes have been strengthened, so the acceleration effect of 8 kicks has been increased by 2%.
The reward points are all lost, and Duke has no inventory to continue to lose, at this time there is finally a pit in the shower area, and Doke rushes into the pit and starts to shower. Tomorrow, in the final, the championship, I must win the championship, because my overall strength of Duke has become stronger again, and there is a new trump card - the dolphin turn.
After leaving the Asian Games City, Du Ke did not go home, but went to the restaurant near Nangang University with Jiang Zhigang, Su Yun and others for a meal.
In a very ordinary Cantonese restaurant, Jiang Zhigang and eight team members asked for a private room, and he invited a treat.
At the dinner, Coach Jiang and the rest of the team expressed their heartfelt congratulations to Duke for turning the tide and reaching the finals, and looked forward to making history in tomorrow's finals. The best result achieved by the NTU swimming team so far is a bronze medal, which Su Yun won at last year's provincial Universiade.
Nine people, a case of beer, except for Duke, the other eight people all drank. As the protagonist of the dinner, Du Ke can really be strict with himself and not drink a drop of alcohol.
Su Yun couldn't stand it anymore: "Du Ke, tonight I should celebrate you in advance, if you can enter the finals, at least you have a ranking, right?" Even if you don't get the top three and don't have a medal, the fourth to eighth place still has a certificate. You've got to have a little bit of a drink, right? I know you're pretty good at drinking, and you drank that at your birthday dinner last month. How did you change sex today? ”
Du Ke had a serious expression: "We are all members of the school swimming team, and we must be strict with ourselves with the high standards of athletes!" No smoking, no drinking, no gambling, no sex, the so-called 'four no's' are the precepts that every athlete must abide by. ”
The more serious Du Ke was, the more Su Yun wanted to laugh: "Come on, you!" Load, keep loading! ”
"That's right!" Jiang Zhigang gave Du Ke a thumbs up, "He's right not to drink, don't force him." Tomorrow he has a game assignment. ”
Du Ke looked at Jiang Zhigang, who was holding a cigarette in his left hand and a wine glass in his right hand, and felt a little humorous.
Jiang Zhigang laughed: "I used to be an athlete, but now I'm not, I don't have to be bound by the precepts of the four noes." Look at what you see, don't be unconvinced, I'll tell you. ”
Du Ke said sincerely: "Director Jiang, I want to go to the school's swimming pool to practice again." Grinding guns in battle, not fast and light. ”
"Tut-tut, look at you." Jiang Zhigang pointed to Du Ke and said to the other team members: "This is what I often tell you, attitude determines everything. ”
"It's a pity, Duke you're old, if you were five years younger, under my devilish training, I would definitely be able to send you to the national team. Belch...... It's hard to say about the national team, but at least you can get into the provincial team. You have talent, I have the method, Maxima often has, Bole does not often have. Jiang Zhigang turned his head to Du Ke and said, his cheeks were flushed, probably because he had drunk a little too much and was bragging.
"Yes, yes, Coach Jiang is a generation of famous coaches, and he is full of peach and plums." Du Ke and the others forcibly held back their laughter and complimented Jiang Zhigang very explicitly.
"Haha! I know it's, but why do I like to hear it? Jiang Zhigang showed his true feelings after drinking, laughed heartily, and threw a bunch of keys to Du Ke: "This is the key to the door of our school's swimming pool, it's past nine o'clock, it's closed, you can go by yourself." I got drunk and went back to sleep with my wife. At 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, all members of the swimming team will gather in the Asian Games City and disband! Waiter, pay the bill! ”
……
It was 10 o'clock in the evening when Duke came to the school natatorium, and he mainly came to test the effect of the new stunt dolphin turn, so as to cope with the tactical arrangement of tomorrow's finals.
Du Ke was accompanied by Su Yun, as the second-in-command of the swimming team, Su Yun came to the swimming pool to guide the work on the grounds of supervision.
Su Yun is more familiar with the swimming pool, she turned on the lighting in the swimming pool, the bright ceiling light shines on the huge swimming pool, there are only Du Ke and Su Yun in the swimming pool, which sets off the extraordinarily empty swimming pool, and there is an echo when she shouts.
Du Ke had already changed into his swimming gear, he jumped into the pool and swam up, and Su Yun was quietly watching from the shore in civilian clothes.
Su Yun drank some beer just now, although her face was still awake, she looked at Du Ke who was paddling hard in the pool, and her eyes lit up, "Du Ke's speed seems to be faster?" ”
Du Ke swam 100 meters, and he also felt that his average speed had improved, and it seemed that the effect of the improvement in attributes was obvious in actual combat.
At the 150-meter turn, Doucle used a new stunt, the dolphin turn.
As Duke flipped forward in the water, quickly adjusting his turn, and as soon as his legs hit the wall of the pool, he felt a strong elastic force burst from the wall of the pool into his body, as if jumping from a high altitude onto a trampoline.
The special effect of the dolphin turning around was activated, and Duke felt that the water in the pool seemed to turn into air, and there was no longer any resistance, and he was like an arrow from the string, and he quickly ejected nearly ten meters away with a "whoosh".
"Cool! Fast! ”
Duke is overjoyed, this turning stunt is very enjoyable, which is equivalent to an extra instant acceleration skill. If you don't open the dolphin turn stunt, with the same turning action and the same time, Du Ke can only kick out four or five meters at most.
One turn can give you an advantage of two more positions, and relying on the dolphin turn, Duke can kill almost any opponent of the same level in an instant when he turns.
After turning around, Duke went ashore, and the experiment was over, and the effect was perfect.
"Don't you practice? In the middle of the night, I ran to practice with great interest, and I practiced 200 meters? Su Yun asked in wonder, "There are still ...... Well, I can't say it, I just think you seem to be getting stronger again, faster, and your last turn is very smooth, especially ornamental. What's going on? Did you take yao? ”
"Haven't you seen how hard I've been training lately? No hard work, no gain, attitude determines everything. Du Ke said solemnly, "Let's go, just swim 200 meters, the main thing is to find the feeling, keep the state, enough, and then practice it is easy to get tired." In tomorrow's finals, my brother is likely to create the most glorious scene in the history of the NTU swimming team, and I can't wait! ”
