Zhang Guan looked at the golden icon in the system. Judging from the skill description, this is a magical skill. It can be regarded as an extremely abnormal plug-in to improve the recovery speed and level of tissue damage.

For this skill, Zhang Guan waited until September last year and spent more than ten months to complete this task and obtain this skill. At this moment, Zhang Guan felt relieved.

Just when Zhang Guan was still congratulating himself on completing the task, a new task appeared again.

"As an athlete, physical fitness and competitive status are very important. Through the system, you can check your own physical fitness and competitive status."

After the system prompts, two long bars, one red and one blue, appear above the system.

"What is this, a blood tank and a magic tank? What are you doing? Will you die if you run out of blood?" Zhang Guan immediately looked over and found that the red bar was the physical condition, and the blue bar was the competitive state. .

The full physical condition is 100, but Zhang Guan's current display is 68.

After all, Zhang Guan had just participated in a game, and his physical energy must have been exhausted, so his body was not at full strength at this time.

The full level of the competitive state is also 100, but Zhang Guan's current display is only 51, just over half.

The system immediately displayed relevant prompts.

“Physical energy can be restored through rest, and the recovery status is also directly linked to the rest situation. For example, sleeping will restore more physical energy than sitting for a while; encountering a harsh competition environment will also increase the speed of physical energy consumption, such as Competing in a hot environment will consume more physical energy than at normal temperature; the normal physical condition is 80. If the physical condition exceeds 80, it will enter a state of full physical fitness, and strength and speed will increase; normal activities can be carried out with a physical condition of 60 to 80; a physical condition of 40 When the physical fitness level reaches 60, it will enter the fatigue state; when the physical fitness status is between 20 and 40, it will enter the fatigue state; when the physical fitness status is between 0 and 20, it will affect normal actions; if the physical fitness level is 0, it will lose consciousness and enter a state of shock, commonly known as 'fainting from exhaustion'."

"Competitive status requires the athletes themselves to improve according to the actual situation. A competitive status above 80 is an excited state, and you can perform at a super level during the game; you can perform normally when your competitive status is 60 to 80; you can perform well when your competitive status is 40 to 60. Abnormality; unforced errors often occur in games with a competitive status of 20 to 40; when the competitive status is below 20, all skill effects begin to be reduced; when the competitive status is 0, all skill effects are invalid."

Zhang Guan immediately understood that his current competitive status is only 51, which means he is in a state of abnormal performance. He must improve his competitive status to above 60 to perform at his normal level in the game.

The system immediately popped up the next dialog box.

"So is there any way to quickly improve physical fitness and competitive status?"

Zhang Guan felt that this sentence gave him a very familiar feeling, as if many advertisements had similar slogans. But then he immediately thought that the system's tone was definitely a prelude to selling products.

"Of course there are ways to quickly improve your physical condition and competitive status. You can use the system to redeem physical recovery potions and status recovery potions to restore your physical condition and competitive status."

"Task tip: Restore your physical fitness and competitive status to 100."

After the system prompts, a store icon appears in the system.

"As expected! There is even a game arcade! You know what you said just now is to sell things. And there is a mission. It seems that it is forcing you to buy the physical recovery potion and the status recovery potion. Isn't this just one of those traps? The setting of the money online game... Forget it, let's see how these two potions are sold first!" Zhang Guan thought to himself,

Zhang Guan immediately entered the store and found that there were a total of eight items available for purchase in the store.

"Small physical recovery potion, restores 10 physical points, buy 10 for one skill point; medium physical recovery potion, restore 20 physical points, buy 6 for one skill point! In total, buying a small potion for one skill point can restore 100 points. Buying Chinese medicine can also restore 120 points, and it is much more cost-effective to buy Chinese medicine. So is a large potion more cost-effective?"

Zhang Guan then looked down.

"General physical recovery potion, restores 50 points of physical energy, buy 3 for one skill point! So one skill point can restore 150 points of physical strength, which is more cost-effective than the two just now. Look below, general physical recovery potion set, three Buy 10 skill points, and buy 10 and get 1 free, which is equivalent to spending three skill points to buy 11, which can restore 550 points, which is equivalent to one skill point can restore 183 points, this seems to be the best value!"

The other column sells status recovery potions.

"The small state recovery potion restores 5 points of state. Why is it so little? One skill point also buys 10. The price is the same, but the effect is only half of the physical potion. The medium state recovery potion is also a hospital. It restores 10 points of state and one skill point. Buy 6 pieces. The large status recovery potion restores 25 points, and you can buy 3 for each skill point. The large status recovery potion set has 10 skill points for three, buy 10 and get 1 free.”

Zhang Guan made some calculations and concluded that buying a large potion set would definitely be the most cost-effective, but the price of three skill points made Zhang Guan prohibitive. In addition, the effect of the status recovery potion is only half that of the physical recovery potion. Zhang Guan guessed that this is probably because it is easier to restore physical fitness than to restore the status, so the physical recovery potion is sold cheaper than the status recovery potion.

According to Zhang Guan's understanding of general online and mobile games, consumable items are the most expensive part of a game. Now that consumable items have appeared in the system of this all-round athlete, the demand for skill points will inevitably increase rapidly in the future. Increase.

After the award ceremony, Zhang Guan received two more skill points.

This competition was not only the National Track and Field Grand Prix, but also the China Track and Field Open. Therefore, Zhang Guan won two championships in one competition, and therefore also received the honorary reward of two national championships and received two skill points.

In addition to the remaining skill point from before, Zhang Guan had three more skill points. However, Zhang Guan was not in a hurry to complete the task and fill up the status. Good steel should be used on the blade. Instead of completing the task now, it is better to wait until before the competition. At that time, the status is filled up. This can not only complete the task, but also obtain a Good results. Moreover, Zhang Guan was absolutely reluctant to spend precious skill points on potions that could be restored through normal methods.

The next day, the news that Zhang Guan once again broke the Asian record quickly spread throughout the country. The Sports Federation immediately sent a congratulatory message and hoped that Zhang Guan could continue to maintain his good condition and carry it into the Olympic Games. In addition, Zhang Guan was awarded a bonus of 300,000 yuan again.

The Olympic Games is undoubtedly a gluttonous feast for gambling companies around the world.

Ladbrokes Group is the world's largest betting company. Its odds can well reflect the level of participating teams or athletes. The reference value of the ranking should be more attractive than the analysis of major news agencies. At the same time, Ladbrokes' information collection and data analysis are also the most advanced in the world. Among Ladbrokes' more than 60,000 employees, except for betting station staff and basic administrative and logistics personnel, the rest are basically information collectors and data analysts. engineer.

The most glorious national player in track and field is undoubtedly Liu Feiren. Ladbrokes has given him odds of 1 to 3 to win, ranking second only to American veteran Alan Johnson's odds of 1.57.

Compared with the 110-meter hurdles event, the 100-meter trapeze event is undoubtedly more eye-catching. Among the athletes participating in the 100-meter event in this Olympics, Ladbrokes will provide corresponding odds for all Olympic A-level athletes.

Zhang Guan is naturally one of them.

On the day of the end of the competition, the news that Zhang Guan once again broke the Asian 100-meter record had reached Ladbrokes' data analysts.

Williams, the director in charge of data analysis for Olympic track and field events, walked out of his office and said to the staff in the partition outside: "Gentlemen, I just received the news that the Asian record for the men's 100 meters has been refreshed again, setting a new record. The new record is China’s Zhang, who is 0.01 seconds faster than last year.”

"Asian record, what is that?" Someone immediately checked on the computer, and then said: "It is only 9.99 seconds. Even if it is 0.01 seconds faster, it is only 9.98 seconds. Boss, should we change the odds?"

"With a time of 9.98 seconds, it is possible to enter the Olympic finals, but it is obviously impossible to win a medal." Williams then asked: "What are the odds of Zhang entering the finals now?"

"It's 1:4!" someone immediately replied.

"Change it to 1:3. If there are many people buying it, lower it appropriately. We can't lose money. In addition, we will cancel his odds of entering the semifinals." Williams said.

"What about Zhang's medal odds and championship odds?" asked a young man.

"Oh, my God! Little Tommy, are you kidding me? Do you think the Chinese can win an Olympic medal in the 100-meter dash? Or even win the championship?" Williams said while laughing.

"Okay, little Tommy, although the time of 9.98 seconds is not bad, it is still far away from the Olympic champion. You should keep an eye on the odds of the Jamaican Powell..."

In the Olympic Games, if you can run within 10 seconds in the semi-finals of the men's 100-meter dash event, it is relatively safe to enter the final. If you run longer than 10 seconds, you have to rely on luck to enter the final.

If you want to safely enter the semi-finals, you need to run a time of 10.10 seconds. If you run 10.15 seconds, as long as your luck is not too bad, you can basically enter the semi-finals. And if you want to enter the semi-finals with a time other than 10.15 seconds, you also need to run a time of 10.15 seconds. Just try your luck.

Zhang Guan ran under 10 seconds twice in a month. Therefore, according to the predictions of the betting company, Zhang Guan should have no problem running under 10.15 seconds in the Olympics. If he performs better, he can run under 10 seconds and enter the finals.

As Ladbrokes adjusted the odds for Zhang Guan to enter the final, other betting companies in Europe quickly followed suit and lowered the odds for Zhang Guan to enter the final. As for Zhang Guan's winning odds, there has been no change at all. Obviously, no one thought Zhang Guan could win the Olympics.

The first chapter was delivered today. Although some words are not sensitive, we still found others to replace them. Safety first. Regarding the plug-in system, the original concept was a very complete game system, but when it was actually written into the plot, the effect was not good, so it was simplified a lot. A frame is enough, and it is occasionally used to connect the plot, so everyone There is no need to worry about the numbers in the game. The only thing you should focus on is the game and the plot itself. One last thing, I will pass the test naked next week, so I beg you all in tears to give me your recommendation votes for next week!
