Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 104: Practice your core, practice hard (Shang Sanjiang Milestone Extra)

“It’s only after you accidentally pull an all-nighter that you realize the benefits of turning off the lights.”

Philosopher Li Yan said so.

Li Yan realized that she needed to go to bed at 4:30 in the morning, and hurriedly took a nap, but she couldn't fall asleep again until 9 o'clock in the morning.

He officially started the essay revision project last night and worked on it until midnight. He also summarized the shortcomings and ended up improving his essay score by 2 points.

No wonder we are asked to examine ourselves three times a day. Being able to discover our own shortcomings and correct them is itself a kind of progress.

Fortunately, the energy value is 50. If an ordinary person stayed up late to revise the text and then slept for four hours, he would probably waste the day.

After a morning of focused revision, Li Yan felt a little tired. Although she could continue to be excited about writing, she couldn't keep revising for too long.

He was just about to take a rest when the phone in the dormitory suddenly rang. The empty dormitory and the quiet environment amplified the sound of the phone, which scared him.

The express delivery arrived, it should be something Wei Yunzhi sent to him.

When he returned to the dormitory panting with a large cardboard box, he was dumbfounded when he opened it.

A box full of comic books.

Big and small, new and old, colorful and black and white... it's dazzling.

There was also a card on the box of books, and the content was very simple:
I have watched it, it is very interesting, you should watch it too.

The same beautiful handwriting as on the student ID card.

"This is really a bit too much..." Li Yan flipped through a few books and was surprised to find that they were consecutive numbers. He took out all the books and confirmed that they were the complete works of "Doraemon" and "Dragon Ball".

There are also some picture books based on Chinese classical novels, which are a bit old.

However, the corners of each book cover are protected with tape and are preserved very well.

He immediately turned on his computer and sent a message to Lin Zhiyuan, "Brother Yuan, tell Wei Yunzhi that I have received the comics. Thank you very much. I will finish reading it and return it to her when I have the chance."

Lin Zhiyuan replied immediately, "Comics? She sent you comics?"

"Yes, all the Doraemon and Dragon Ball series, and some other miscellaneous stuff."

"Oh my god! Oh my god! [Satisfied] I want to see it too! Wait, Doraemon?"

"What?"

"The pirated books are all Doraemon or Doraemon. The Doraemon books are genuine. The complete works are not cheap."

"No one said they would send me off."

"I'm afraid I can't convey your meaning well, so I'll just post it like this.' Young Master Yan said: Brother Zhiyuan, tell Wei Yunzhi that I have received the comics. Thank you very much. I will finish reading it and return it to her when I have the chance.'"

“…I read these comics myself.”

"No, no, no, no, no [crying], 'Li Yan asked me to convey: the comic has been received, thank you very much, he will finish reading it and find a chance to return it to you later.'"

"After National Day, pick up your books at the school gate and be careful not to wrinkle or damage them."

"Tsk tsk, I feel so sorry for her~ Oh Master Yan feels sorry for my little Shushu~"

“…I read these comics myself.”

"The report has been delivered as requested. Over."

Li Yan laughed from the bottom of his heart, "Little Fatty, oh little Fatty, I'll give you half of the royalties now that I've received them, and let's go enjoy a good life."

Of course, I can't stay in the dormitory to write articles for the entire National Day holiday. I should write a dozen or twenty articles first, and submit them to many publications. That will be enough.

His fingers were sore from writing and his neck was stiff. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, so he decided to go to the playground for a run.

Almost all the badminton team members had gone home, so they had no chance to train or even play with anyone. However, the track and field team had gathered a few people to warm up. The senior brother Zheng Qinyuan who had challenged Li Yan to a sprint was also there, and he seemed to be the team leader. No wonder he was training at the first grade sports field in the second grade.

Li Yan was running slowly, wondering whether he should ask someone from the track and field team for guidance, but he saw Zheng Qinyuan waving at him vigorously:
"Li Yan, you didn't go home? Come here!"

It’s such a big playground, and there are only a few people running except those from the track and field team, so Li Yan is still very conspicuous.

Zheng Qinyuan was very enthusiastic, Song Xiaofei was also very active, but the other three track and field students reacted very coldly.

"We are preparing for the school sports meet. Mr. Chen from the track and field group mentioned you last time, saying that you have good physical fitness and you will have great potential if you practice hard. He was also thinking about how to recruit you." Zheng Qinyuan is a bit like Wu Qiang. They both act like big brothers, and Li Yan enjoys it very much.

"Teacher Chen was stunned when he heard about your monthly exam results," Song Xiaofei's eyes sparkled. "Eleventh in the grade, that's outrageous. He was even worried that you, with such good grades, wouldn't want to practice sports!"

Li Yan originally wanted to say that he was actually second in the grade, but feeling the increasingly cold gazes from the three track and field students next to him, he chose to be a humble person.

The greetings between the athletes were brief. After they had praised each other for what was necessary, they directly brought up the simple and straightforward topic: Let’s practice together!

Li Yan's practice was basically led by Zheng Qinyuan and practiced with Song Xiaofei, while the other three athletes practiced and watched.

After running two short sprints, Zheng Qinyuan frowned:
"You didn't lift your thighs much."

For the next fifty meters, Li Yan intentionally raised her thighs, but her rhythm was terrible and she ran even slower than before.

"If you lift it up, it will be unstable. This shouldn't happen..." Zheng Qinyuan approached Li Yan and suddenly reached out to press Li Yan's lower abdomen. "Didn't you do much core training?"

The core muscles refer to the important muscle groups located in the front and back of the abdomen that surround the torso and are responsible for protecting the stability of the spine. They include the transverse abdominal muscles, pelvic floor muscles, and lower back muscles.

Li Yan knew this concept from a book she borrowed from Lin Zhiyuan when she was in elementary school.

But I don't really have any dedicated practice.

"You are amazing. Core strength is an important skill in badminton. You are so good, so you shouldn't be bad." Song Xiaofei was also puzzled. "Forget it, don't worry about it, just start practicing!"

"This is the most important power for men. Practice it well, Li Yan." Zheng Qinyuan gave her a fiery look.

Li Yan thought about the difficulty he felt in pulling up when he was learning basketball from Li Ruofei. Perhaps it was because his core strength was not strong enough?
Good guy, I said I should go find the track and field team and help me find my shortcomings.

It is not difficult to understand the importance of core strength. Li Yan simply did not realize the need for special training in this area before.

The track and field team has a variety of ways to practice core strength, including static bodyweight exercises, slow barbell squats, continuous frog jumps... The most difficult thing for Li Yan is to stand on a springy ball and lift small dumbbells.

As soon as he stood up, he was shaking like a sieve. He finally managed to finish the training, but he felt an uncomfortable soreness in his abdomen and buttocks, so he simply sat on the ground and squirmed.

"It would be remarkable if you can endure the intensity of this training." Zheng Qinyuan led the practice and was mainly responsible for correcting the movements.

Song Xiaofei, who was training with him, was also sweating profusely. He leaned against the wall with his hands on his hips and said, "Captain, this is his first time training. You can't do this. What if he can't get out of bed tomorrow?"

Ding!
coming! finally come!
[Muscle endurance +2, level 38 skill, 100/;

Muscle Strength +1, Level 38 skill, 100/;

Explosive power +1, level 39 skill, 100/;

Physical coordination +1, or a fourth-level skill, 39/100]

[I can explain them in parallel next time]

Li Yan even had the leisure to complain about the Tucao system, because the soreness and swelling she had just felt along with the all-round improvement in muscles, especially the improvement in muscle endurance, had dissipated a lot.

So Zheng Qinyuan, who was about to say that was enough for today, and Song Xiaofei, who had just reached out his hand to pat Li Yan on the shoulder, just watched Li Yan suddenly stand up steadily from her squirming state.

He even jumped twice.

"Are there any other training programs?"

Zheng Qinyuan and Song Xiaofei's pupils trembled.
