Chapter 131: The young bird never comes back

Kong You, that name is uncommon.

Coupled with this record, it's highly likely to be her.

I didn't expect her to have visited this station too.

“Look, the female record holder is Kong You!”

“Kong, Kong You! Is it Kong You from the Free Organization?!”

“That name isn't common, and for her to have an unbroken record here, who else could it be but her.”

“Two days ago, the Order Heavenly Kingdom increased her bounty again; now the amount is a special-grade bounty!”

“I really didn't expect her to have visited this station. Oh, right, rumor has it she has a Platform Travel module, so she can come whenever she wants.”

“Damn, good thing she didn't come today, otherwise I wouldn't have any chance at all.”

Listening to their discussion, Qi Xiao smiled unconsciously.

It's as if Kong You is very idle, just running over here for no reason?

What is there here that attracts her, the surrounding Train cars?

The reason Kong You doesn't come here is actually very easy to understand: the input and reward are not proportional.

Because each competitive event is randomly drawn. Although Kong You's combat power is very strong, it doesn't mean she is a jack of all trades.

For example, if electronic sports or Go are drawn, her physical fitness would be useless.

Or if multi-person events like football or basketball are drawn.

Moreover, no abilities or items can be used here, which would completely exceed her control.

Even if it were Qi Xiao, he wouldn't come; there's no need.

However, the male 800-meter record holder, Wang Lin.

It couldn't really be that Wang Lin, could it?

Qi Xiao muttered to himself.

I remember on Earth, the male 800-meter record was a little over one minute and forty seconds.

You should know that in this kind of sport, every second of improvement is incredibly difficult.

And this Wang Lin actually only took one minute and fourteen seconds.

Without any abilities or items usable, this completely depends on a person's physical state.

I just ran four hundred meters, taking about fifty-something seconds, less than a minute.

Of course, I didn't use my full strength either.

Converting it, if I ran 800 meters at full strength, it would take at least one and a half minutes.

The top three should be no problem, but breaking this record is probably hopeless.

But there is one person who can do it.

Qi Xiao looked at Old Six beside him.

Old Six is Huluwa, possessing unparalleled potential.

His four hundred meters just now… he actually pulled a full half a distance ahead of his opponent!

Perhaps he can break this record and become the new record holder!

The key is, this way we can pick an extra Train car!

“Old Six, do you see the words ‘Wang Lin’?”

“I see them, Chief.”

“In ten minutes, that name will be yours, it will be Old Six!”

“Re-really, Chief? Can I do it?”

“Absolutely, you are my Deputy Train Conductor!”

With that, Qi Xiao sighed again.

“It's a pity my fast running move can't be used here. Old Six, you are the hope of our whole family!”

“You only took forty seconds for the four hundred meters just now. Believe in yourself, you can do it!”

Qi Xiao put his hand on Old Six’s shoulder: “You just need to be a little bit faster, and you can surpass Wang Lin and become the new record holder!”

“Our home will also gain an extra Train car! When that happens, I'll convert that Train car into an arcade, and we'll play zombie games together!”

“Play zombie games!”

A sparkle immediately burst forth in Old Six’s eyes.

“Chief, for our home, I will work hard!”

Old Six raised his fist, his voice firm.

He looked at the scoreboard in the sky and secretly thought:

“Wang Lin, your record, I will break it!”

Xi Jian looked at Qi Xiao, who was wildly painting a grand vision for Old Six, with a speechless expression.

Just then, Yao Yao waved her small hand, and the four girls present were teleported to the track.

“Come, come, come, ladies first.”

Li Huizi was in lane one.

Gender-Swapped Brother in lane three, Curly-Haired Woman in lane five, Xi Jian in lane seven.

There was a lane separating each of them.

This prevented anyone from trying to cause trouble or disrupt the competition.

Gender-Swapped Brother rubbed her hands together, twisted her neck, and rotated her ankles.

Her gaze was fixed on Li Huizi, because the other two posed no threat.

The Curly-Haired Woman was just average, and Xi Jian was even below average.

My only opponent is her!

As long as I win against her, I can get my dick back!

I'll still be that upright, true man!

Thinking of this, she looked back at Yao Yao, who was floating in mid-air, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes.

This damned little potato, she's truly a beast!

Hmph, whatever.

This can be considered a blessing in disguise for me. The competition on the female side is less intense, and I can even pick a Train car to take away then.

Thinking of this, she looked at the men waiting in the wings.

Zi Lao Tou, Team Tianba's captain, the pretty boy, and the little brat were all stronger than her.

Especially Zi Lao Tou and the little brat.

If I were over there, forget the top three, even the top four would be questionable.

It truly is a case of a blessing in disguise.

......

Li Huizi was not from Earth.

But from the modern world of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Although there were no more demons there, the breathing techniques were still passed down.

What she learned was a branch of Water Breathing—a sub-branch of Flower Breathing, Cherry Blossom Breathing.

She was not a genius, but she excelled in diligence.

In three more years, after passing the assessment, she would be able to obtain a nichirin blade specifically for slaying demons.

But one day, after a training session, she inexplicably found herself in a Train.

And she experienced danger multiple times, hovering on the brink of death on several occasions.

The reason I'm alive today is all because of Qi Xiao...

Li Huizi reined in her wandering thoughts. She didn't even notice Gender-Swapped Brother's burning gaze.

In her mind, there was only one string of numbers now.

1 minute 23 seconds.

The women's 800-meter record set by Kong You.

Can I break this record?

No, I will break this record!

That way, Qi Xiao can pick two Train cars!

Come on, Huizi! You can do it!

Don't let these ten-plus years of training go to waste!

She began to breathe deeply, trying her best to adjust her state to the optimal.

Although her Cherry Blossom Breathing couldn't be used in this arena.

But over ten years of hard training was not something an ordinary person could compare to.

I will break this record!

To win two Train cars for Qi Xiao and repay his life-saving grace!

......

The result was pretty much as everyone expected: Li Huizi easily took first place.

She left Gender-Swapped Brother over a hundred meters behind.

Because her goal was set higher.

Sometimes it's like this: if you set a high goal, even if you don't achieve it, you'll likely gain more than if you set a low goal.

Li Huizi's goal was to break the record, while Gender-Swapped Brother only wanted to beat Li Huizi.

So sometimes, it's worth being bolder and setting your goals a little higher.

However, Li Huizi, who took first place, was not happy, because she did not break the record set by Kong You.

Her time was 1 minute 23 seconds and 97 hundredths.

Only one second slower than Kong You.

Looking at Li Huizi, who won first place but wasn't happy, Gender-Swapped Brother was about to explode with rage.

My dick, my dick!

I have a reason I must win, you bastard!

But life is like this; even if you sometimes give your all, you still can't get what you want.

When Li Huizi left her further and further behind, her youthful bird was destined to never return.
