"Alright, alright, you guys keep chatting, I'm leaving now."

Wang Kai quickly finished his meal, stood up, winked at Xu Zhiyi, patted him meaningfully on the shoulder, and whispered, "Talk to people more often, don't always let others take the initiative."

After saying that, he grabbed the tray and ran off in a flash.

Lin Wei remained expressionless and continued eating with her head down.

Xu Zhiyi pretended not to understand the meaning behind Wang Kai's words and casually asked, "Have you ever run a marathon before?"

I've run a half marathon once.

Lin Wei raised her head, wiped her mouth, and said seriously, "I was training to run before, so I signed up with a few other teammates, but I didn't get a place."

At this point, she looked at Xu Zhiyi seriously, feeling it necessary to explain things to him.

"Although you've run the 1500 meters before, compared to a marathon, that's nothing, not even a sprint. The most important thing in running a marathon isn't speed, but consistency!"

Maintain a steady pace, a steady breathing rate, and a steady mindset. Never let others influence you; adjust your own rhythm according to your own situation.

Look at those people who speed up from the start; they're basically the ones who can't even run a half marathon.

Even the most explosive athletes cannot sprint the entire race.

Truly professional athletes have their own rhythm, know how to allocate their energy, and know when to accelerate and when to hold steady.

So we need to go to Wanshan Lake first to familiarize ourselves with the area. I'll take you for a run and teach you how to adjust your breathing and control your pace.

If you can find your own rhythm, with your physical abilities, I feel you should have no problem finishing in the top three.

Xu Zhiyi nodded, "Okay, then Saturday morning it is."

"Okay," Lin Wei readily agreed. "Then I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of Wanshan Lake Wetland Park at six o'clock this Saturday morning—don't be late!"

"rest assured."

Xu Zhiyi considers herself to be quite punctual.

I get up at five o'clock every day, and it takes me more than an hour to get to Wanshan Lake Park.

After lunch, the two returned to their respective classrooms.

Xu Zhiyi remembered the business card that Boss Zhao had given her that morning, so she went out to find a secluded place, took out her phone, and dialed the number on the card.

The phone rang a few times before it connected.

"Hello, who is this?"

A middle-aged man's voice came from the other side, with a slight Fujian accent.

"Oh, my brother introduced you?" The man on the other end became noticeably more enthusiastic. "Brother, what's your surname?"

"My surname is Xu."

"Hello, Mr. Xu! My brother mentioned you to me, saying you're a straightforward person!" Zhao Haiping laughed heartily twice. "You want to buy wild snow lotus and he shou wu, right?"

"Yes. It's best if it's aged a bit longer and of good quality."

"Polygonum multiflorum is easy to obtain. I happen to have some first-harvest stock left over, all wild. The worst ones are over ten years old, and some are over a hundred years old, but the price is a bit high."

At this point, Zhao Haiping paused slightly, seemingly waiting for Xu Zhiyi to continue.

Xu Zhiyi ignored her.

He'll only know if the quality is good or not after he sees it.

Trying to raise prices now? Are they trying to take advantage of him?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhao Haiping could only say to himself, "Of course, you'll only know if the goods are good or not after you see them. Anyway, I'm in Wuxi recently. If you have time, you can come to my shop and take a look. I'll send you the location later."

Also, wild snow lotus is extremely difficult to obtain right now, and I don't have any in stock. I can only keep an eye out for you and contact you again when it becomes available.

"OK."

Xu Zhiyi was somewhat disappointed, but didn't say much. She simply said politely, "Then I'll go take a look on Saturday. Also, I'll have to trouble you, Boss Zhao, to keep an eye out for snow lotus for me. The price is negotiable."

"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that," Zhao Haiping said with a smile. "I'll contact my friends over there later and let you know as soon as I have any news."

"Okay, thank you, Boss Zhao."

"Don't mention it, we're all friends!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhiyi put away her phone and went back to class.

The ingredients for the Rejuvenating Elixir are still missing snow lotus and he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum

Now that we've secured the Polygonum multiflorum, I'll go check on the quality on Saturday. If everything's fine, then we only need to wait one more step.

It's a top-grade snow lotus.

Time flies, and Saturday is here in the blink of an eye.

These past two days, Xu Zhiyi has continued to go to school during the day and go fishing at night.

Although the experience points given by the Scavenger have been reduced from 50 to 25, every little bit helps, and it's better than nothing.

He spends more than an hour every night catching six or seven plecos, which gives him more than a hundred experience points. He also occasionally encounters a few tilapia or mosquito fish, which he can also kill to gain experience, though much less than plecos.

Two nights passed, and the experience bar moved forward a little.

Current experience points: Lv.8 (5660/9000)

Saturday morning.

Xu Zhiyi still woke up at five o'clock sharp as usual.

He rolled out of bed, circulated his internal energy once, then washed up, dressed, put on a light tracksuit, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and tiptoed downstairs to the subway station.

Only after arriving at the subway station did he realize that because it was still early, the subway hadn't started running yet, and the earliest train...

We'll have to wait until 5:55.

It definitely won't take 5 minutes to get to Wanshanhu Station.

Xu Zhiyi felt that the time she had agreed upon with Lin Wei was a bit unreasonable.

Wanshan Lake is in Anzhen, which is a 40-50 minute drive from the city center. It's obviously inconvenient for him to get there, and yet he still paid 6...

He'll arrive by 10:00, unless he stayed in Anzhen the night before.

hiss!

Could it be?

Xu Zhiyi thought back for a moment, and it seemed that Lin Wei had asked him if he wanted to go for barbecue after school last night, but he was in a hurry to get to Liangxi River, so he declined.

Thinking about it now—

Lin Wei mentioned last week that her mother had been switched to the day shift.

If you get a day off every week, then this week you should be working the night shift, right?

He didn't even notice such an obvious hint!

Xu Zhiyi shook her head.

It seems I'm rather slow to react in this regard.

Ultimately, it's because I lack experience.

After thinking about it, he simply left the subway station, scanned a shared bicycle, and rode it towards Wanshan Lake Wetland Park.

It's only a little over 30 miles, consider it a warm-up.

Interestingly, he encountered a group of cycling enthusiasts along the way.

Because he was afraid of being late, he rode a little too fast and accidentally overtook the group of fully equipped cycling enthusiasts.

Then that group of people got upset.

They're riding road bikes that cost four figures or more. What do you mean by overtaking me on a shared bike? Don't we have any dignity?

And so, a unique bicycle "race" began.

They all began to accelerate, filled with righteous indignation, preparing to overtake the shared bicycle as quickly as possible and leave it far behind.

To their surprise, even though they had already sped up, the shared bicycle was getting further and further away from them, and was about to disappear from their sight.

Everyone pedaled furiously, but could only watch as the shared bicycle gradually disappeared into the distance until it was completely out of sight.

All the cycling enthusiasts were stunned.

"We must have been mistaken, right? That was actually an electric car, wasn't it?"

"No—electric bikes have speed limits, the maximum is only 25 kilometers per hour, while our road bikes easily reach 40 kilometers per hour, how could they possibly be overtaken by him?"

"A hallucination, it must be a hallucination!"

"Illusions my foot! Don't you even know what modified cars are? There are a lot of electric vehicle manufacturers in Wuxi. People in those factories used to do all sorts of sneaky things, secretly modifying electric vehicles and unlocking speed-limiting modules—"

"You mean that was a modified car?"

"Of course! Isn't it obvious?"

"Is it really possible for someone to pedal a shared bike that fast?"
