Phone Bombardment

The Wuling Hongguang sped along the mountain pass road; even an 86 car going uphill would have to pull over and yield. The wind whistled past their ears. Chu Yu Tong carefully held Xu Jie's arm.

Xu Jie looked at the system panel that suddenly appeared before his eyes, the corner of his mouth naturally curving into an exaggerated smile. "This kid, truly gifted!"

That Liu Yun Fei could win the 100-meter sprint at the World Youth Athletics Championships did not surprise Xu Jie. At least, compared to Chu Tao's unexpected championship win, Liu Yun Fei's victory was, in Xu Jie's eyes, a matter of course.

Xu Jie was clear on Liu Yun Fei's previous data. This included his best performance and the secret time Liu Yun Fei ran under the special training of Coach Su Chen in Peng Cheng not long ago, all of which Xu Jie knew.

With Xu Jie's understanding of his beloved student, Liu Yun Fei now had the ability to participate in the World Athletics Championships and the IAAF Diamond League. What he lacked was the entry ticket to these two top-tier competitions. And after winning the World Youth Athletics Championships, Liu Yun Fei would naturally gain the qualification to participate in these two top-tier competitions.

Xu Jie knew they were competing today. But the network speed on the mountain pass road couldn't support him watching live. It wasn't until this moment, when the system's prompt sounded, that Xu Jie knew Liu Yun Fei had won the cup.

The accompanying system rewards, however, made him fall into deep thought.

Confidential documents from the US athletics laboratory? Xu Jie looked at this option, his heart burning with eagerness. The United States, this was widely recognized as the world's number one athletics powerhouse. It possessed astonishing dominant power in athletics events at the World Athletics Championships and the Olympic Games. In the history of the World Athletics Championships, the number of gold medals won by the United States was undisputedly ranked first. More than the total gold medals of the second to fourth-ranked countries combined.

In the history of Olympic athletics events, the number of gold medals won by the United States exceeded half of the total gold medals for athletics events. From the development of modern athletics until now, the United States has been the king of athletics; there is no doubt about this.

But. Where did their astonishing achievements come from?

Firstly, immigrating to poach talent. Just like after World War II, they brought all the world's top scientists to the United States. The United States leveraged its pioneering advantage, continuously recruiting athletics-related talents worldwide. On this point, Xu Jie knew that Dragon Country definitely could not engage in such bandit-like behavior. The issue of athlete Gu Ailing at the Winter Olympics alone sparked a huge public debate on opinions and attitudes within the country. Let alone other people of color representing Dragon Country in competition? Dragon Country is not an immigrant country like the United States. This point cannot be implemented in Dragon Country.

Secondly, top scientific research and training. US athletics is powerful because it is inseparable from their willingness to spend money on scientific research. The human body is the most sophisticated instrument. How to exert force, how to improve reaction ability, how to manage stamina, how to increase explosive power... Understanding and not understanding, for an athlete, is the difference reflected in their actual strength. Astonishing talent, plus scientific training. The combination of both can cultivate a true athletics star.

Thirdly, pharmaceutical technology. To put it bluntly, banned substances. This is something that the vast majority of countries in the world tacitly understand. The United States, with its powerful military strength and military bases spread globally, can do whatever it wants in many fields. The sports arena is also like this. Athletes from other countries use banned substances? Ha, an investigation will reveal it immediately. US athletes use banned substances? Ha, the referees and organizers are all my people, what do you have to fight me with?!

Xu Jie felt that the first option rewarded by the system probably contained many secrets. Scientific training methods were still secondary. If there was research related to banned substances or genes inside, then that would be meaningful!

As for the second option? A breakthrough solution for new energy battery technology? This reward made Xu Jie frown. This was also what major domestic new energy vehicle enterprises were doing. In recent years, the domestic new energy vehicle industry has been flourishing. Many of these new energy vehicle models have realized the meaning of surpassing traditional Western fuel-powered cars. Various high and mighty imported cars and joint venture cars, while earning money from Dragon Country people, also disdain and look down on Dragon Country people. Such instances have not been uncommon in recent years.

Xu Jie believed. If new energy battery technology could achieve a breakthrough. On this path, breaking through the Western technical blockade and disdain was a small possibility. This option would also be extremely beneficial to the country and the people. To be honest, Xu Jie really wanted it too.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xu Jie looked at the three options prepared for Liu Yun Fei again.

* **Mind as Clear as Ice:** From the moment he steps onto the field, his mental state will maintain at least a very good state.
* **Steel Ankles, Iron Knees:** The probability of ankle and knee joint injuries is reduced by 70%.
* **Break Through Limits:** Each time training reaches the body's extreme limit, the probability of breakthrough increases by 50%.

The system prepared three special ability options for Liu Yun Fei, making Xu Jie's eyes light up. Always being able to maintain a very good mental state or better with Mind as Clear as Ice in every competition. Reducing the probability of self-injury with Steel Ankles, Iron Knees. Continuously training, continuously improving, continuously breaking through with Break Through Limits. If all three of these options were added to Liu Yun Fei, Xu Jie felt that he would be invincible!

Sitting in the speeding Wuling, Xu Jie once again found himself in a difficult situation to choose. It was truly too hard. He really wanted them all. Don't they say children make choices, while adults want it all? Xu Jie had endured this pain of seeing but not being able to choose again and again.

The confidential documents from the US athletics laboratory could help people understand the truth behind their powerful athletics strength. Perhaps some profound genetic research results could even be obtained from it.

The breakthrough solution for new energy battery technology was absolutely a scientific and technological breakthrough beneficial to the country and the people. It could even create a unique high-tech path belonging to Dragon Country.

The three abilities prepared for Liu Yun Fei were each extraordinary. With these abilities, Liu Yun Fei becoming the World's Number One Superman was within reach.

So vexing!

Just as Xu Jie was hesitating about which one to choose, his mobile phone suddenly rang. He took it out to check, and the caller ID showed "Director Bian." Xu Jie knew this was to deliver good news to him. He quickly pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Director Bian."

"What?"

"Liu Yun Fei actually won the cup?"

"That's great!"

"Thank you, Director Bian, for your hard work in leading the team and diligent care."

Xu Jie pretended to be surprised on the phone, as if he really didn't know Liu Yun Fei had won the cup. It turns out that Chu Tao, Liu Yun Fei, and the others' acting when facing reporters' interviews was all learned from Old Xu!

His surprised expression made Chu Yu Tong beside him glance at him. However, before she could speak, her own phone rang.

"Hello, Dad?"

"Yes, he's next to me."

"Couldn't Dad reach his phone?"

"Oh, he's on the phone."

"What? World champion?"

"Dad watched it live at home?"

"Okay, I know, I'll tell him."

Chu Yu Tong hung up the phone, only then realizing what had happened. She quickly opened her mobile phone, and using the slow network speed, with great difficulty, she opened the hot searches on various social media platforms.

"Dragon Country Superman Liu Yun Fei bravely wins the World Youth Athletics Championships!"

"9.89 seconds sets a new world youth record!"

"Golden Flash Liu Yun Fei!"

"Where is the human limit for 100 meters?"

***

Hot searches related to Liu Yun Fei were trending very high on various social media platforms. Chu Yu Tong excitedly widened her eyes, and just as she was about to say something to Xu Jie, he hung up the phone. Xu Jie's phone rang again.

"Hello, Teacher."

"Yes, I know, Director Bian just called me."

"Good, I'll bring the students to visit you when I get back."

***

"Hello, Senior Brother Sun, yes, I know..."

"Hello, Senior Brother Sui, hahaha, they're still under your name now, don't worry, we'll have a drink together when they get back..."

"Hello, Director Xie, ah, thank you, see you again..."

***

The Wuling was still speeding. Calls from all over the country, one after another, came to Xu Jie.
