Chapter 2896: Chapter 2896: Provocation
A sudden exclamation caught the attention of many people, and they instinctively looked toward the field.
Everyone who saw this scene was shocked!
"What’s this damn speed? There’s still over 600 meters left, and he’s starting a hundred-meter sprint?!"
"This is too fast, the score surely won’t be bad."
As they saw Lin Yi picking up speed, the girls nearby jumped excitedly.
But Zhou Chunkai commented nonchalantly:
"You can tell you guys have no common sense about sports; in less than 200 meters, he’ll be out of stamina. He might even get a stitch, and then he won’t even pass."
"Tch, I think you’re just jealous."
"Heh heh..."
Zhou Chunkai let out a cold chuckle, "Whether I’m jealous or not, you’ll know soon enough."
Nearby, Sun Ming was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
He also wasn’t optimistic about Lin Yi’s final score.
No sense of rhythm at all. Never mind whether he can keep it up, it would be a blessing if he doesn’t get a stitch.
"This dude is something else, he’s been running for so long, yet his speed hasn’t dropped at all. Just half a lap left and he’s going to finish."
Seeing this, both Sun Ming and Zhou Chunkai were stunned.
Running for so long without any issues—this guy is a freak!
Even the instructor watching on the side was shocked by Lin Yi’s speed.
Originally in the lower middle position, in just a few hundred meters, he was ahead by over a hundred meters from the second place!
Simply incredible!
"The current record is 3 minutes and 8 seconds, do you think with his current speed he can break the record?" Li Qin asked.
"Not only can he break the record, he might even run under three minutes," the deputy leader said:
"At the start, he was pacing with someone else, the speed wasn’t fast. If he had taken it seriously from the beginning, running under three minutes wouldn’t be a problem."
"It seems we have a good talent this year. What’s his written test score?"
"Number 316..."
The deputy leader glanced at Lin Yi’s number tag and checked it against the records in his hand.
"61 points, a bit low."
"Indeed, not very high, but if he does well in the upcoming tests, he could bring up his total score."
"Even if he doesn’t, if his physical test score is outstanding, we can still give him special recruitment; it’s not a big problem."
Li Qin nodded, having the same thought.
"He crossed the line, crossed the line, go quickly and check what his score is."
As they saw Lin Yi cross the finish line, many women ran over.
"Number 316, time of 2 minutes and 58 seconds."
Upon seeing Lin Yi run under three minutes, the field erupted in waves of exclamations.
Sun Ming and Zhou Chunkai glanced at each other, hardly believing their ears.
"Who is this kid, running so fast?"
"He might be an athlete, we probably underestimated him," Sun Ming said with a cold face.
Originally thought that no one could shake his first-place position, only to have it snatched away by an unknown kid.
"Damn dude, you were amazing, running under three minutes! Among all of us, you’re the first," Li Dong said.
"You must have passed too, right?"
"Thanks to you, 4 minutes and 14 seconds, got three points, I’m very content with that."
Lin Yi nodded with a smile, "I can’t help you with the rest, you’ll have to try your best."
"My explosiveness is decent, I’m quite confident about the remaining tests," Li Dong said:
"But this lunch is on me, I’ll get you an extra chicken wing and leg."
"It’s a deal then," Lin Yi said with a cheerful smile.
The first test ended, and over 80 people didn’t pass, losing their qualification for the next tests.
For this special job, endurance is extremely important.
If they can’t even pass this, they indeed can’t handle the job.
"Assemble!"
After resting for about ten minutes, Li Qin ordered everyone remaining to gather together.
"Now we start the second test, vertical reach. The standard is, below 45 centimeters is a fail, above 45 centimeters earns one point. From there, for every additional three centimeters, you get another point."
This time, everyone’s performance was relatively calm.
Because they’ve all practiced at home, meeting the standard shouldn’t be a problem; it just depends on how many points they can earn.
"Brother Ming, are you confident about getting first in this test?" Zhou Chunkai asked.
"I must be!" Sun Ming confidently said:
"When I practice at home, I can easily reach 80, getting full marks is a piece of cake."
"Then I’m relieved, we must regain our reputation this time, after that kid snatched first earlier."
Sun Ming nodded, feeling the same.
If all the spotlight is taken by that kid, the instructor will surely remember him the most, and all benefits will come to him first, leaving nothing for himself.
"One should not be too full of themselves, it’s best to leave some room for error, in case your face gets slapped, it wouldn’t be nice," Li Dong said with glee.
"Watch your mouth," Zhou Chunkai said.
"I’m stating facts, why should I watch my mouth? Did you guys run under three minutes?"
"You damn!"
"Enough, no need to argue with him, let’s speak with our skills," Sun Ming said.
Zhou Chunkai maintained a cold expression, looked at Li Dong, and said:
"Just you wait, this isn’t over."
"What’s going on, you few, step forward!"
Zhou Chunkai’s expression stiffened, and he lowered his head as he walked out.
Sun Ming followed by his side but wasn’t as nervous.
Since he was specially recruited, as long as he didn’t make a huge mistake, nothing serious would happen to him.
As the two walked out, Lin Yi and Li Dong didn’t hide either.
Seeing Lin Yi and Sun Ming among them, Li Qin smiled, understanding why they were having a spat.
In the 1000 meter test, one was first and the other was second, competing in secret was quite normal.
"Judging by your demeanors, neither wants to admit defeat. Are you planning to compete in this test too?"
With the conversation to this extent, Sun Ming didn’t bother hiding anymore, and openly said:
"Indeed."
Sun Ming was extremely confident, not putting Lin Yi in his eyes.
Though his physical ability was outstanding, compared to those who trained specifically, there might be some gaps.
But when adding all the tests together, his advantage should be clear.
And this guy named Lin Yi, who came through social recruitment, might have previously trained in the 1000 meters. Losing to him isn’t too surprising.
But the second test is a vertical reach, which isn’t a regular test, it’s unlikely he can beat me in this.
Li Qin looked at Lin Yi, "How about you?"
"I’m indifferent," Lin Yi shrugged and said.
"Since neither of you have any objections, let’s have you demonstrate for everyone, as an example."
