Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 76 A Heart as Clear and Transparent as Crystal

Chapter 76 A Heart as Clear and Transparent as Crystal (Seeking First Subscription)
The marathon, originating from the ancient Greco-Persian Wars legend of Pheidippides delivering a message of victory, has now become a globally popular long-distance running event.

The entire course is approximately 42.195 kilometers long, testing the participants' endurance, physical fitness, and willpower.

In the video that Chen Baiyu resubmitted, the host was giving a detailed introduction to the "Suining Mass Marathon".

"The deadline for registration for this marathon is 11:59 PM on Saturday."

"There are no restrictions on registration. Anyone who is 18 years of age or older and under 45 years of age and in good health is eligible."

The video then cuts to a road planning map, and the host points to the screen to explain: "The race track was specially selected on a tree-lined section of the city that is not a major traffic artery. Starting from the city sports center, the race runs along the riverside road, where you can see the river view and avoid the sun along the way."

"There are a total of 8 aid stations, one every 5 kilometers, with water, sports drinks, bananas and energy gels. There will also be a cooling station in the last 10 kilometers to spray cool water to help you cool down."

"After registering, please come to the sports center before 8:00 AM tomorrow to pick up your race number and race pack, which are used for identification and have GPS positioning function. The pack contains a T-shirt, a commemorative badge and an accident insurance policy. You must wear the race number to participate, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the track."

"You can't use skateboards, balance bikes or other similar devices, and you can't take shortcuts. There are more than 80 cameras watching the whole process, and any violation will result in immediate disqualification."

Finally, when the prize money was mentioned, the host said with a smile, "Our competition for all doesn't have a lot of prize money. The first place winner gets 30,000 yuan, the second place winner gets 10,000 yuan, the third place winner gets 5,000 yuan, and the top 100 will receive a custom-made medal. The main point is to have fun and get everyone involved!"

Chen Baiyu's eyes lit up after hearing this.

He is 24 years old, in good health, and fully meets the registration requirements.

And it's 11:16 now, with 43 minutes left until the deadline, which is just enough time.

He immediately clicked the registration link in the video and opened the relevant webpage. The page loaded quickly, and he followed the prompts to fill in the information: name, ID number, contact information, etc. He also uploaded a recent photo and checked the disclaimer that he "voluntarily participates and is aware of the risks".

I paid a deposit of 100 yuan when I finally submitted it.

When the system popped up a message saying "Registration successful. Please bring your ID card to collect your supplies before 8:00 AM tomorrow," Chen Baiyu breathed a sigh of relief. The first step of the mission was finally completed.

Chen Baiyu's movements were fluid and graceful.

It's almost as if there was no hesitation.

After reading the realistic description and looking at the mission rewards, one realizes that although one needs to withstand the pressure of twice the gravity field, it's unclear whether one can actually endure it.

But the reward is just too good.

He finds it hard to refuse.

The 500 experience points reward from the system task is really tempting; as long as you get these experience points, you can directly reach level 5 in one step.

Clearly, the "screening for the path of a professional" mentioned in the system task is correct, because these 500 experience points are enough for Chen Baiyu to step into the fifth level.

By the time.

This is the long-awaited job change process.

Only when you reach level five can you truly embark on an extraordinary, professional path!

At present, I can only be described as extraordinary.

Only after changing jobs can one be considered extraordinary?
He was always curious about what would happen after level five.

What kind of job is it? Will this unlock more new features in the system?

Moreover, the equipment he had previously obtained, Dragon Scale Dust, could only be used after unlocking a class, and he was equally curious about its specific attributes.

Therefore, this task offers a high experience reward.

The choice is self-evident.

Thinking.

After registering, Chen Baiyu opened the tightly closed curtains and window a crack.

Firstly, they wanted to dissipate the smell, which had lingered after they had drunk the cow dung soup and upgraded their level, and because they were secretly testing their body data, they had kept the doors and windows tightly closed.

Secondly, I wanted to peek through the crack at the starry sky outside.

We are about to take another big step forward.

Chen Baiyu's thoughts gradually calmed down.

Along with this calm, my heart, which had been gradually agitated by the system these past few days, also calmed down.

White elm is one of the elegant names for stars in ancient China, originating from the poem "What is there in the sky? White elms are planted everywhere" in the ancient ballad "Longxi Xing".

Perhaps it's because his name contains the word "star," or perhaps it's because humans have always been curious about the starry sky.

So when your thoughts are complicated.

Chen Baiyu would always find himself looking up at the sky.

The stars wouldn't offer him guidance, but when he looked up at them, his complicated thoughts would automatically unravel in his mind.

It's like when you flip a coin to make a choice, you've already made your choice in your mind.

At this moment, the stars in the night sky are sparse.

Several bright stars stood out, their twinkling light still visible even through the thin night fog.

In just a few days, everything has changed so much.

I've become very different.

In the past, Chen Baiyu often felt hungry or a little cold for no reason.

I often feel very irritable and want to talk to someone, but I don't want to talk to anyone.

I want to find something to do, so I pretend to be busy, but I can't do anything well.

I took a bite of something and then got annoyed, so I put it on the table.

I want to watch some 18+ content, but I can't stand the gore and violence.

It was a very complicated, yet confusing state.

And now...

I just felt very comfortable.

There is only one feeling of clarity.

Everything is different now.

The lingering, gnawing emptiness within me has vanished.

Instead of a feeling of fullness, there is a sense of completeness, as if a leaky hole inside the body has been quietly patched up.

There is no longer any loss of energy or heat.

Chen Baiyu pressed her face close to the open window.

The night breeze blew in, but I didn't feel cold.

Or to be more precise, one cannot feel any discomfort.

His body temperature seemed to have self-regulated to a perfectly constant point.

The cold wind from outside brushes against the skin, bringing only a keen tactile sensation, rather than discomfort that needs to be resisted or relied upon.

He could still sense the "coldness," but he no longer resisted or disliked it; the so-called coldness was merely an objective assessment of the temperature.

There he is.

It is independent of any external thing and forms its own whole.

The restless, raging fire in my heart that had no outlet was finally extinguished.

Instead, there was an unprecedented clarity and tranquility.

Thoughts are like cleaned glass, clear, bright, and orderly.

The old, conflicted feeling of desperately wanting to grasp something, to express something, yet hating all communication, has vanished.

This is a profound transformation.

Chen Baiyu was no longer swept up by the tides of physiology and the whirlpools of emotions.

It was as if I were standing in the eye of a storm, surrounded by noise, but at the center there was only absolute tranquility and power.

It has gained a kind of stability rooted in existence itself.

This is not to say that it is a very profound state of mind.

But it can indeed be described as clear as glass.
