Chapter 55: Tasks and Sprinters
The moment he entered "The Autobiography of the Runner", Gu Xiao felt a change in his body.
His body became lighter, and he seemed to be able to turn into a gust of wind, and his strong muscles pulled the skeleton and burst out with a speed like a cheetah.
This kind of feeling has never been felt in his former skeleton-like body.
He couldn't help but grin.
"Hehehe, this character card that restricts everyone's attributes has become a reinforcement for me."
In fact, it's not just him, at this stage, most of the lords haven't entered the path and set foot on Sequence 9, so most of the attributes are still at the level of the Blue Star.
That is, the attack, defense, and speed are between 1-2.
Therefore, the character card of 'Neo' is a stat enhancement for most lords.
When Gu Xiao completely adapted to his current physical attributes, the task to be performed in "The Autobiography of the Runner" popped up in front of his eyes.
[Mission 1: Win the men's 100-meter sprint world championship at the World Championships.] Points earned: 10]
[Mission 2: Win the men's 100-meter dash world championship at the World Games.] Points earned: 10]
[Mission 3: Run 1,000 meters and advance the world record to less than two minutes.] Base points: 20, advanced points are related to the speed of the world record set.
(Note: The world record for the men's 1,000m run is 2:11.96, set by Kenya's Engney on September 5, 1999.) )】
[Mission 4: Run 100 meters and advance the world record to less than 9 seconds.] Base points: 5, advanced points are related to the speed of the world record set.
(Note: The world record for the men's 100m run is 9.58 seconds, set by the famous Jamaican sprinter Lightning Bolt on August 17, 2009.) )】
[Since you have used permissions to increase the difficulty of the trial, a special mission has been created here.] 】
[Special Mission: Pursue Freedom and Witness the Truth of the World.] Bonus: 22% access to the Akshire Library. 】
World Championships? World Games?
Gu Xiao hurriedly found a mirror and looked at herself.
found that he had turned out to be a strong black man, with smooth and toned muscles, especially the muscles of the lower limbs.
"I see, the so-called Neo turned out to be a black athlete."
"Is there an athlete named Neo on the Blue Star?"
Gu Xiao rummaged through his memories, but he didn't gain anything.
"Maybe it's some parallel plane."
He turned his attention to the content of his task.
"Looking at the task requirements, the process this time should be to participate in the World Championships first, and then participate in the World Games. Just look for an opportunity to run the 1000 meters in the process. ”
"But all this has nothing to do with 'pursuing freedom and witnessing the truth of the world'."
"How could the system issue such a special mission that can't be hit?"
Gu Xiao remembered the clue hint Alena gave him before.
"Beyond the limit, beyond the limit. Limit, limit, so to speak, is very similar to the overlimit. ”
"Could it be that this world is actually more than what it seems, there is something else in the world and the like, just like Silent Hill. What do I need to find beyond the limit to enter the inner world to witness the truth? ”
Gu Xiao, who couldn't figure it out, simply put it aside for the time being.
Outside the house, there was a knock on the door, and there was an urgent knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
The voice came from Gu Xiao's vocal cords, but the timbre was no longer hoarse and gloomy as before, but became loud and full of energy.
Is this Neo's tone?
The door was pushed open with force, and it was a man with an excited face who rushed in.
The man was wearing a well-fitting casual outfit, and his face flushed with excitement.
When Gu Xiao's eyes focused on the man, a prompt from the system appeared in front of him.
[Dannifer, Neo's assistant, is in charge of Neo's schedule and pre-match training, etc.] 】
At this time, Dannifer was holding a newspaper in his hand, he rushed to Gu Xiao, spread the newspaper on the table, and pointed to the front page headline to signal to Gu Xiao.
"Neo, look, it's the report of the big reporter Catherina! Kaserina's interview with you made headlines in the sports section of the Global Times. ”
In this different world, the influence of the Global Times is extraordinary, even some countries that do not speak English will deliberately translate the content of the Global Times to get the blockbuster news from all over the world.
The content of the interview with the character Canio that he used was able to make the headlines of the sports section of the Global Times, and it is no wonder that Neo's assistant Dannifer is so excited.
Gu Xiao looked into the newspaper and saw that the interview contained a large number of Catherina's questions and Neo's answers.
Among them, there is a question and answer, which makes Gu Xiao care very much.
Kaserina: What is your experience like to have that extreme burst of speed from the human body?
Neo: It feels like my own body, completely out of this world, free from all inhibitions, and truly free.
Gu Xiao's eyes deepened a little.
Withdrawal, bondage, freedom.
……
On the second day, after breakfast and warm-up, Gu Xiao decided to run a 100-meter run to enjoy the excellent experience brought by the athlete's body.
He stood at the start of the 100-meter course and squatted down to take the 'squatting' starting motion.
Smack-
Danifer, who was on the side, pressed the starting pistol.
Gu Xiao's brain gave the command to run to his body, and then this body instinctively started and accelerated in the most scientific posture, and rushed into the 100-meter track.
The wind was whistling in his ears, and his speed was constantly rising.
Gu Xiao could almost perceive with the naked eye that his body was accelerating with a terrifying acceleration.
The scenery beside him quickly retreated, his speed rose rapidly, and the muscles of his whole body swayed smoothly, at this moment, Gu Xiao only felt that he had turned into a wind.
Boom –
Gu Xiao's body almost smashed the air at the end of the line like a collision before it began to slow down.
Behind him, the assistant Dannifer exclaimed in surprise.
"9.32 seconds! 9.32 seconds! Neo, you've surpassed Lightning Bolt to become the new world record setter! ”
Danifer rushed up from behind and hugged Gu Xiao.
"Neo, believe me, as long as you keep up this pace and go to the World Championships, you will definitely become an unbeatable World Champion!"
After resting for a while, Gu Xiao ran to watch the replay of his running video.
Just now, he was only concerned about experiencing that wind-like feeling, and Gu Xiao hadn't noticed it yet.
At this time, watching the replay, Gu Xiao realized that his body was so perfect, it was simply born for sprinting.
In the playback video, every time he leaves the ground with one foot and swings his arms back and forth, he is the most perfect fit for the theory of aerodynamics.
The running self, or Neo on the run, looks like a cheetah in a wild run.
