Chapter 23: Running LV1!

"What do you mean?"

The Long-legged Girl was very interested in what the Potato Chip Girl had said about "not being human."

Although the Potato Chip Girl claimed to be logistics personnel and was usually sloppy and unkempt, there was no need to guess what level a "logistics person" who could mobilize hundreds of millions of dollars at a whim belonged to.

Among the world's top 100 companies, there might be some that couldn't mobilize that much cash flow within a day, and if one were to add the requirement of making a decision and executing it within that same day, then eight or nine out of ten would have to be ruled out.

Without a doubt, the Potato Chip Girl had an extremely high perspective and vast knowledge.

It was precisely because of this that whatever could make her say "the speed of progress is not human" must have an absurdly high gold content!

"Fitness the day before yesterday, three hours of strength training, and he could still jump out of bed full of energy the next day, completely unaffected. That would be one thing; I could just assume he has a special constitution with strong recovery abilities."

The Potato Chip Girl stuffed potato chips into her mouth, pursed her lips, wiped them casually on her clothes, and began swiping on the tablet on her lap, where the screen was playing the real-time video of Lu Mingfei's Morning Run recorded by the Long-legged Girl nearby.

"But... did you notice his running speed?"

"Running speed?"

The Long-legged Girl asked in confusion, "It's not fast. If I didn't have to film this for you, I could overtake him just by taking a stroll."

"I told you, don't look at him from the perspective of a Hybrid! Although he is S-rank, according to the Boss, his bloodline hasn't awakened yet. The Boss said so, and it definitely won't be wrong."

The Potato Chip Girl said helplessly, her tone somewhat resentful, "If you would just listen to what I say properly, the money spent on cleanup after every operation could at least be cut by three-quarters..."

"I am field personnel; I only need to be responsible for the fighting."

The Long-legged Girl felt guilty, but she remained stubborn.

"Heh..."

The Potato Chip Girl naturally knew the Long-legged Girl's temperament, so she sneered twice and returned to the main topic, "His current running speed is fluctuating between 4.1 and 4.3 m/s. At this pace, he will definitely reach Shilan Middle School within twenty minutes."

Just by looking at the video, and with the cameraman also moving, the Potato Chip Girl was actually able to accurately calculate Lu Mingfei's running speed.

"From the starting point at California Sunshine to the destination at Shilan Middle School, even by the shortest path, it's at least five kilometers. He can run the whole distance at a four-minute pace; do you know what that means?"

The Long-legged Girl looked blank: "I don't know. Since I can remember, I was already faster than that during ninja training..."

"This speed is already an easy passing grade in a Chinese junior high school physical exam. Oh right, you're Japanese, so you might not know: in China, the general situation is that junior high students have the best physical strength, while high school students have the highest intelligence..."

"Then what about college students?"

"College students are clear-eyed and stupid, physically weak and prone to illness; easy to kill but hard to die."

The Potato Chip Girl gave a precise summary, then waved her hand.

"Don't interrupt! That's not the point. The point is that the little white rabbit is a weakling who never passed a physical exam! At least he was like that the day before yesterday.

It's only a little over three kilometers from his aunt's house to Shilan Middle School. The day before yesterday, it took him nearly twenty minutes to run there, and according to the security guard I bribed, 'he was almost panting to death, and there wasn't even any color in his face.'

At that time, his pace was around seven minutes, which counts as a fail in a physical exam. That is the normal speed the little white rabbit should have!

But yesterday, he still took twenty minutes, but the security guard said he 'wasn't really panting.'

By today, right now, his pace has suddenly hit four minutes! Although he looks a bit strained, there is no sign of being unable to catch his breath; it's just a normal, rapid breathing rhythm for exercise...

Finally, don't forget, it's winter now, and the little white rabbit is wearing winter clothes, which means his progress might be even more exaggerated!"

The Potato Chip Girl sighed and, as if venting, grabbed a large handful of potato chips and stuffed them directly into her mouth, not caring that crumbs were falling everywhere.

"I haven't even counted the energy he spent on Learning and doing other things... This is simply not a speed of progress a normal human could have, absolutely impossible!

If I added the Hybrid 'Bloodline Awakening' into the mix, all problems would naturally be solved and have a reasonable explanation, but the problem now is that this point has already been vetoed by the Boss, and the Boss cannot be wrong..."

"I understand now."

The Long-legged Girl nodded thoughtfully, "You mean the little white rabbit might have had a Bloodline Awakening, but it's unlikely that the little white rabbit had a Bloodline Awakening."

"..."

The Potato Chip Girl was silent for a moment, "Why is it that even though what you said isn't wrong, I have the feeling that something has ironed out the folds in your brain..."

The Long-legged Girl immediately became alert: "Are you scolding me?"

"Not at all!"

The Potato Chip Girl hurriedly changed the subject. In the past, when they were far apart, it was fine for her to be mouthy, but now the Long-legged Girl was right in front of her. If she got caught, wouldn't she, an office worker, be pinned to the bed and bullied fiercely by the field agent?

"The data collection is almost done. You can withdraw first and go to the little white rabbit's new home to deliver the 'gift'..."

"Wait."

The Long-legged Girl suddenly spoke.

"Wha... what? I really wasn't scolding you!"

"That's not what I meant. We'll talk about that after I get back."

The Long-legged Girl paused, "Do you have the feeling that the little white rabbit is running... faster and faster?"

Hearing this, the Potato Chip Girl looked closely.

"Holy crap, you're right!"

"His speed has gone up to 4.3—4.5 m/s!"

【Through diligent Morning Run, your 【Running】 level has increased, gaining 5 points of Proficiency】

【Through...】

"Strange, why did it increase so quickly this time?"

Lu Mingfei breathed and ran. His brain, which had been forced into a blank state due to high-intensity aerobic exercise, seemed to have finally adapted to the current state and finally regained some ability to think.

"The first two times 【Running】 added Proficiency, it was only added after it was over, and the amount wasn't this high..."

"Could it be that the faster I run, the higher the quality of the Running, and the more frequently I gain Proficiency, and the more I get each time?"

"That makes sense. Learning is like that, and Basketball, Fitness, and Piano are the same. Why wouldn't Running be?"

"The first time might have been too poor, so the settlement was not only slow but also small. The second time was a slight improvement, and now the third time is the normal situation!"

"While the Schedule Plan squeezes me, it also increases the Proficiency gained based on the quality of completion..."

While lost in thought, Lu Mingfei's footsteps unconsciously quickened.

This degree of acceleration was extremely subtle; without professional instruments or comparison with others, it was actually difficult to see much of a difference.

Even Lu Mingfei himself did not notice it.

Most of his attention was currently focused on the constantly rising Proficiency notifications; following Fitness, Mathematics, Basketball, and Piano, his 【Running】 was also about to usher in an upgrade breakthrough!
