“Oh, finally here…...”
Chen Shu stepped off the plane, his entire being buzzing with excitement.
So this was what it felt like to participate in the Olympics!!
Many athletes surrounded him, wearing the same red national team uniform, many of whom he was very familiar with in his past life.
There was Ma Long from table tennis, Qin Haiyang from swimming, Shi Yuqi from badminton, Quan Hongchan from diving… all world champions.
Yes, Chen Shu was a time traveler.
While watching the Olympic swimming competition live, he suddenly, for no reason, felt his vision black out.
The next second, he regained consciousness, only to find himself a 13-year-old boy.
The key was that this kid looked exactly like him at 13, and his parents were the same people.
The only difference was the timeline, March 2024. Everything else was identical to his past life.
In his past life, Chen Shu had already turned 20 in 2024.
That was a whole seven years younger!
And, along with his time travel, he had acquired a skill tree game panel—the All-Around Athlete System.
Two options glowed brightly on it.
Without much thought, Chen Shu clicked on Swimming.
After all, he had been a level two swimmer himself, a specialized athlete who focused on freestyle.
As soon as he clicked, the skill lit up.
【Swimming】
——【Beginner Acceleration lv0】: Temporarily grants a 10-second acceleration buff.
——【Beginner Underwater Turn lv0】: Awaits unlocking.
——【Beginner Sprint lv0】: Awaits unlocking.
……….
A cheat? A system??
Chen Shu immediately thought of these things. He had read his fair share of online novels in his past life. This time, he was quite excited.
After a long period of verification, he finally accepted the fact that he had traveled through time. It wasn't a dream.
Over the next few days, Chen Shu learned about the function of this All-Around Athlete System—it assisted him in improving his athletic abilities!
He spent three days at the swimming club where he previously trained and was directly promoted to the local city swimming team.
His Acceleration skill had also risen to lv5. Each time he won a competition, he earned a certain amount of experience.
Lv5 gave him 15 seconds of acceleration time.
Even at the beginner level, the speed boost was insane.
However, to unlock new skills, he had to participate in official competitions and win first place.
Breaking records also gave him a chance to unlock skills.
After joining the city team, Chen Shu participated in many city-level competitions.
As expected, with the help of this cheat, he managed to qualify for the Olympics in the 50-meter freestyle swimming event within just two months.
Skateboarding was the same.
But Chen Shu couldn't unlock any other sports.
He later realized that he needed to be very proficient in a particular sport for the corresponding skill tree to light up!
In other words, the system would evaluate the host's athletic abilities.
At present, Chen Shu only met the requirements for skateboarding and swimming.
So, during this time, he primarily focused on improving his skills in these two sports.
For swimming, he had already upgraded his Acceleration to Intermediate lv11, granting him 22 seconds of temporary acceleration, which was more than enough for the 50-meter freestyle.
Chen Shu had made the most progress in his Sprint skill.
【Advanced Sprint lv29】: Grants 5 seconds of temporary sprint time. The higher the level, the stronger the sprint boost.
At the beginner level, the sprint boost was 1 second, while at the advanced level, it was 5 seconds. The speed was constantly increasing.
Master level might be 10 seconds, and Grandmaster level even 20 seconds……….
In other words, if Chen Shu possessed the Grandmaster-level Sprint, he could basically sprint the entire 50-meter freestyle.
It was insane!!
After all, the world record for the 50-meter freestyle was only just over 20 seconds!
This, like the 100-meter sprint in track and field, was the ultimate test of an athlete's swimming burst strength in water.
The 100-meter sprint was for the "Flying Man," the fastest runner on land!
And the 50-meter freestyle was for the "Flying Fish," the fastest swimmer in water.
As for skateboarding, Chen Shu had only unlocked one skill—【Air Time】!
This skill was also advanced for Chen Shu, giving him 1 second of boost!
You have to remember, the current human limit for air time is only 1.2 seconds. This was pure dimensional strike! Chen Shu's natural air time plus the buff was about 1.5 seconds.
This ensured that he could stay in the air longer than most skateboarders, allowing him to perform various extreme tricks.
This skill would allow him to perform all sorts of extreme skateboarding tricks with ease compared to others.
……….
"Little Chen, let's go!"
Huang Wei, the swimming team leader, called out. Chen Shu quickly snapped out of his thoughts and followed the swimming team towards the exit of the airport.
His phone, which had just been turned on and used to post to his WeChat Moments, was already blowing up.
Zhang Jingyu: "Bro, are you going to the Olympics?"
Zhang Jiajia: "Classmate, you……….Olympic athlete?"
Li Yuexi: "What's going on? Study Committee?"
Fan Zixuan: "Bro, are you serious?"
"Haha!"
Looking at the WeChat messages from his classmates, Chen Shu couldn't help but laugh.
He first sent a reply to his close friend, Zhang Jingyu.
These classmates were also his junior high school classmates in his past life.
His time travel was a bit strange, like a rebirth, but with a different timeline.
His parents, classmates, and everyone else were unchanged, as if the timeline had been pushed forward.
Because the time travel was so sudden, only the school leaders and teachers knew he was going to the Olympics.
His classmates only knew that he had taken a few long leaves before summer vacation, and they didn't think much of it.
In fact, those were the times when Chen Shu went to compete and earned his Olympic qualifications in skateboarding and swimming.
Just as Chen Shu was replying to his message, the swimming team, which had just stepped out of the airport, was suddenly stopped by a foreigner.
He was speaking English. Chen Shu, who was a good student, instantly understood a bit.
Urine test???
Urine test as soon as we get off the plane?!
Damn, I've never heard of that……….
