In just half a minute, the coach thought about Zhang Heng's rapid improvement in archery under his guidance. He thought about Zhang Heng's first time participating in a competition and how he shocked everyone with his skills. Then, he returned in defeat in the national competition. He was in so much pain that he wanted to give up archery, but he was reborn with the help of his own chicken soup for the soul. Finally, he entered the national team and won the Olympic gold medal. He even had an idea of the interview that would follow.
However, before the story of his hot-blooded youth could even begin, it was rejected by Zhang Heng.
Archery was just one of Zhang Heng's hobbies. He did not plan to make a living out of it.
Besides, he knew his own situation the best. His archery skills were honed over time. He did not have any special talent. He might be able to dominate the amateur circle, but even if he were to enter the professional circle, it would be difficult for him to reach the top.
This was also the second time Zhang Heng rejected his coach. The latter finally realized that the young man in front of him had no intention of making a living in this circle. He could not help but feel that it was a pity.
He could not force Zhang Heng to become his disciple, and he could not force Zhang Heng to become his disciple with a gun.
After shooting a few arrows and getting the answer, Zhang Heng stopped practicing.
He still had class in the morning. Fortunately, it started at 9: 45. After storing his bow and arrows, he slipped back to school.
His roommates smiled meaningfully when they saw him in the classroom. Zhang Heng did not know how to explain, so he told them that he had been on a deserted island for a year and a half last night, waiting for a man to come and live with him.
During the break, Wei Jiangyang ran up to him from his seat, trying to force him to hand over 800 words. However, Zhang Heng did not look like he was lying, and he did not blush or show any signs of guilt.
In the end, Wei Jiangyang could only change the topic regretfully after confirming that there was nothing erotic about him last night.
"Xiaoxiao and her roommates want to go camping next week, but it's not safe with only a few girls. They want to find a few more guys. Chen Huadong has agreed. Ma Wei won't go. What about you?"
Xiaoxiao was Wei Jiangyang's girlfriend. If she wanted to go camping, Wei Jiangyang would definitely follow. However, he alone was not strong enough. Besides, couples would attract attention no matter where they went. They would definitely be teased by other girls in the same dormitory. So, Xiaoxiao assigned Wei Jiangyang the task of recruiting people.
Wei Jiangyang did not have much hope. Zhang Heng was notorious for breaking away from organizations. He had his own way of life and rarely participated in group activities.
Unexpectedly, this time, Zhang Heng thought about it and agreed to it unexpectedly.
In the past, Zhang Heng would not have participated in such activities. But this time, he had indeed been away from society for too long, and he needed a lively environment to heal himself. Although Ma Wei was still around, the latter spent most of his time in the library and would often return to his dorm only after the lights were out. If Zhang Heng did not participate, he would be the only one left in the dorm during the weekends.
"Great." Wei Jiangyang said excitedly, "Xiao Xiao's roommates are all single except for her. Don't say I didn't remind you. Shen Xixi, who shone brilliantly at this year's welcome party, is also from their dorm. Oh, I forgot that you didn't go … Anyway, when she sings, she makes a lot of animals fall head over heels for her. If you can win her heart, you will definitely become a celebrity in the faculty."
Zhang Heng had no interest in becoming a celebrity in his department. Recently, things had happened one after another, and he was not in the mood to fall in love. This camping trip was purely for fun.
Since there were no classes scheduled on Friday afternoon, Zhang Heng began to prepare for the next round of the game in a month's time. He had already completed the preliminary planning in the express hotel and adjusted his schedule.
After lunch, he found a 24-hour gym near the school and went to get an annual membership card.
Other than that, he also increased his practice time for rock climbing and running. Zhang Heng did not know what kind of situation he would face next time, but improving his physical fitness was never a bad thing.
This was because he used his own body at the start of every round. In other words, different physical fitness could bring about completely different gaming experiences.
For example, when he was faced with the choice of rescuing someone in the Desert Island Survival quest, players with average physical fitness could only save Ed, while players with excellent physical fitness could swim further and save the guy in shorts or Bell. Of course, those who did not know how to swim at all could only watch from the shore.
Zhang Heng's physical fitness was average in college, mainly because he had not gone through any targeted scientific training. However, he had his own advantages, and that was, the preparation time between each round was twice as long as other players.
Others had a month's interval between games, but he had two months' interval.
If he made good use of these two months, his physical fitness would improve a lot. Zhang Heng also thought about signing up for taekwondo or boxing classes, but these things could not be rushed. He could only take them one at a time and improve his foundation first. After all, he could also practice his skills in the game.
The next week was spent in a busy state.
Zhang Heng began to train his waist, abdomen, and limbs' strength and flexibility in the gym. In addition to long-distance running, which focused on endurance, he also added sprinting, which tested his explosive strength, to his training plan.
In addition, he took the time to go to the Sex and the City bar in Still World.
The place was full of secrets, and since Zhang Heng was now in the game, he naturally wanted to know more about it. Since he could not get more information from the bartender, he planned to do it himself.
At the very least, he should be able to get some clues from the furnishings in the tin room and the collection behind the bar counter. Besides, he also wanted to see if the rule that players could not be identified was still valid in Still World.
However, when Zhang Heng arrived outside the bar, an inexplicable sense of danger arose in his heart. This sense of danger reached its peak when he placed his palm on the door handle of the tin room.
Zhang Heng hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he withdrew his hand.
He did not know where this sense of danger came from, but the meaning was clear enough.
[Do not try to enter the game point in Still World.]
Despite his curiosity, Zhang Heng decided to prioritize safety first. After all, what he was facing now could not be explained with common sense.
So, Zhang Heng's first secret exploration ended here, and he did not get much useful information.
On Monday, when he was still in class, his phone suddenly vibrated. Zhang Heng looked at the caller ID.
"Your things have been delivered. They're on the desk in the dormitory. This is a notification message. You don't have to reply to me."
Zhang Heng put his phone under the desk and secretly replied, "Where's my game point service list?"
He clicked send, and after a while, he received a second message from the bartender. "I forgot. Wait until I'm done with the things at hand."
