Chapter 140: Not As Desired, But Unexpectedly Acceptable

Mikami Ai waved, and the female bodyguard dressed as a runner handed over a bottle of water.

Mikami Ai passed the water to Qingshan Li.

Qingshan Li, bracing his arms on his knees, raised a hand to take it, but halfway through withdrew it again, too tired.

Mikami Ai unscrewed the cap and handed it to him.

"Th-thank you." Qingshan Li took the water, sipping small mouthfuls.

Clearly parched, yet he had lost the desire to replenish fluids.

Only reason kept acting; instinct had failed.

"Willpower's not bad, but the race is the day after tomorrow and you only started practicing today — that's too naive." Mikami Ai evaluated.

Qingshan Li lacked the strength to explain that he ran in the morning, and tonight was evening practice.

"Don't stop, drink while you walk." Mikami Ai said.

Qingshan Li couldn't move, neither will nor body.

Mikami Ai walked behind him, both hands giving his back a gentle push.

Borrowing the momentum, Qingshan Li began to walk.

He stared blankly ahead.

"Add oil." Mikami Ai smiled.

"I feel like I saw Mom." Qingshan Li said.

"Do you like me because of a mother complex? I understand you lack maternal love, but that kind of feeling I really cannot accept." Mikami Ai said, while taking the water he was no longer drinking from his hand.

"."

Qingshan Li's meaning was that he was about to die.

However, because of Mikami Ai's words, he revived slightly, like an otaku who drank poison preparing to commit suicide suddenly remembering his study materials hadn't been deleted.

The female bodyguard stepped forward, and after Mikami Ai handed the water bottle to her, she again silently fell back a distance of five or six meters.

Mikami Ai didn't continue speaking, so Qingshan Li again slowly began to dry up.

After a while, she asked: "Plan to keep running, or go back?"

"Run five more kilometers, cough cough!"

Distance to twenty kilometers still had five kilometers.

"I'll accompany you." Mikami Ai said.

Qingshan Li was about to fall in love with her.

"So you don't die."

Qingshan Li loved her to death.

Mikami Ai obviously knew his psychological state, smiling she pushed him again: "Run!"

Qingshan Li started a light jog.

Compared to the slow walk before, only the movement changed, speed had no change, equivalent to the body weight difference between a person before and after urinating.

【Evaluation Improvement】

【Speed: D→C】

The legendary feeling of 'blood qi surging, a great strength surging out' did not appear.

Qingshan Li was still a half-dead half-alive appearance, only spirit improved somewhat.

【Basic Attribute Upgrade, Obtain Reward, Shi Fu Collect】

——I want a Ultraman Spark Lens

【Reward Extraction In Progress】

【Obtain One Item Random B-grade Special Technique, Distribute After Falling Asleep】

B, this grade's threshold is General Elite, upper limit is Olympic Top Three.

System Reward's B-grade would be What Level? And What Special Technique?

Qingshan Li while yearning, while ran finish remaining five kilometers.

"Goodbye." He said to Mikami Ai.

"Goodbye." Finished Speaking, Mikami Ai Hesitated slightly, "I'll still Accompany Back you."

Damnable!

She actually thinks he would collapse on the way home, is he that So Weak?

However, Qingshan Li even the thought to Refuse no longer had.

The gap between 【Running A】 and 【Running E】, Too Large, same body, effect actually differs So Much.

Two people walk on Late Night Street.

"Thank you." Qingshan Li Once Again thanked.

Although feels not needed, but Mikami Ai After All Kind Heart.

"I Truly Worry your future." Mikami Ai Sigh.

"Just Not Good At Running, my future worth Worry?"

"Not Running problem, your Values have problem."

Future let people Worry, now even do person's basic Worldview one also out problem, merely just because Not Good At Running.

"Day After Tomorrow race, today only start practice, Moreover Force Oneself, you Lack Life Planning ability." Mikami Ai further Explain.

". Just Now Not Say, actually I Nearest Every Day morning come here run, already Improve A Lot." Qingshan Li said.

Mikami Ai Surprised look at him: "Improve A Lot Still Like This?"

". Also Not A Lot, cough cough!"

Coughing after a long-distance run is a very normal phenomenon; everyone should understand.

Mikami Ai smiled and said: "Although it's hard to believe, there's no evidence to refute you, because I come here to run in the evenings, so let's just assume it's like that."

"Good night."

"Still two hundred meters from your home, and you're tired enough to lose your judgment? Classmate Aoyama, you're actually a little dog, bark twice for me to hear."

"Goodbye."

"Is that level of tiredness not enough? Then let me change the question, Classmate Aoyama, who was your first love?"

This is Mikami Ai.

Whoever wants to like whoever can just go ahead and like them.

Qingshan Li returned home, so tired he had no strength to shower, almost falling asleep in the bathtub.

Finished soaking, returned to the bedroom.

—System, massage!

The sound of 'clap clap clap' rang out in the youth's room.

After the massage ended, he fell asleep directly.

In his dream, he learned to ride a motorcycle.

Familiarized with the engine, understood the brake system, grasped the linkage mechanism of the clutch and throttle;

Correct riding posture, starting and shifting, how to drive safely.

Open ground practice: starting, parking, slalom, low speed turns, hill starts, and emergency braking, gradually adapting to vehicle dynamics.

When he woke up, he had already proficiently mastered advanced vehicle control techniques like the quad jump and sand trap escape.

【Driving Motorcycle B】

Someone who can't even produce nine thousand nine hundred yen, what use is it if they can ride a motorcycle?

During summer vacation, find time to go get a motorcycle license; in Japan you can at sixteen years old.

In his past life, there was a period he was obsessed with motorcycle videos; never expected he'd become an expert himself.

"Li, didn't go for a morning run today?" Ono Mika walked into the courtyard, saw Qingshan Li swinging a bamboo sword, and couldn't help but be curious.

"Woke up late, I'll run in the evening."

Finished speaking, Qingshan Li shouted loudly: "Face!!!"

One sword strike down; clearly it was a bamboo sword, yet Ono Mika got goosebumps.

Waking up late wasn't the main reason.

'Speed' obtained an upgrade; tonight, Qingshan Li is going to strike Mikami Ai's face!

【Special Technique Upgrade】

【Kendo: E→D】

【Special Technique obtained upgrade, gained reward, whether to collect】

Qingshan Li confirmed once again that his kendo talent was not bad.

C is general person level, but E which is two levels below C, wanting to upgrade to 'D', is not a simple matter.

Qingshan Li has many skills, but most are still 'E'.

In terms of special techniques, even 'E' is stronger than a general person, because general people in reality haven't learned at all, they don't even have 'E'.

—Collect

【Random Skill Evaluation Upgrade once, drawing in progress】

—If you dare pick 'Beauty' I'll die to show you

【Beauty: E→D】

Qingshan Li was joking.

Because the upgrade gained from the reward has no additional reward, this is only natural.

As for the effect of 【Beauty D】, Qingshan Li suddenly had more ideas about outfit coordination, and also started feeling his hairstyle was ugly.

Simultaneously, unusually, Mikami Ai went for a morning run along the long-distance race route.

Is Qingshan Li lying, or is he out of stamina from exhaustion?

Regardless, his future is worth worrying about.
