Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 82 What do fame and fortune mean to me? (Seeking monthly votes)
These words stunned Zhang Yuanzhi.

He immediately stared at Chen Baiyu with a wry smile and said, "Taking you as a disciple? No, I don't want to become your apprentice! I want to train you in professional running!"

He failed to understand Chen Baiyu's polite refusal and joke.

Or perhaps they understand, but are pretending not to, hoping to get their way again.

He was really itching to get his hands on such a promising talent.

So he continued, his tone full of admiration: "Your talent is simply born for the marathon! I've been a coach for several years, and I've never seen anyone who hasn't received professional training achieve this result!"

"If you're willing to take the professional route, I'll personally mentor you and create a training plan for you. In less than two years, you'll have a chance to win awards not only in domestic competitions but also in international events!"

"At that time, you will inevitably gain both fame and fortune."

As he spoke, Zhang Yuanzhi looked at Chen Baiyu with excitement.

He didn't talk about ideals.

As someone who has been through it all, he understands that in this era, most people consider gaining both fame and fortune to be the most important and practical thing.

This is what countless people pursue their entire lives.

but.

It didn't work this time.

Faced with those eager eyes, Chen Baiyu silently shook her head: "Sorry, I'm really not interested."

Chen Baiyu clearly knows where the focus of his life lies now.

Even if you care a lot about money, you still need to prioritize. Once he evolves to the point where he can call himself a god in the mortal realm, what will money matter?

If the system offers a reward for achieving both fame and fortune, he will immediately try to find a way to do so.

Without mission rewards, he would only focus on studying matters related to the extraordinary, which would be the most important thing in his future life. Distracting himself from anything else would be putting the cart before the horse.

As long as he goes far enough down the path of the extraordinary.

"Gaining both fame and fortune" is simply something that anyone who achieves success on this path will inevitably obtain.

He also dreamed of getting rich overnight and wondered what it would feel like to be a superior person.

But now that I think about it, it doesn't matter in the face of the evolution of life.

When your strength reaches a certain level.

Even if he doesn't want to.

All worldly desires for power will naturally gravitate towards him.

Naturally, he will stand at the top of this world.

Zhang Yuanzhi looked at the boy in front of him.

I didn't ask any more questions.

He was once a teenager too.

He also spent half his life striving for his dream, sweating it out on the track.

Now, having achieved some success and stepped down to a less prominent role, he continues to cultivate more outstanding young talents for this field.

Therefore, with his relatively rich life experience, he realized that this young man's ambitions definitely lay elsewhere. At the very least, he would never dedicate his entire future to this endeavor.

It seems to convey a sense of "what do fame and fortune mean to me?"

in silence.

Zhang Yuanzhi had many further lines he had prepared, but he couldn't say them.

"that……"

"In a few days, there will also be a formal and large-scale international gold label marathon in Chengdu. It is currently being prepared. The champion will receive a prize of 300,000 yuan, and the top ten will receive prizes starting at tens of thousands of yuan."

“The professional group in Zone A has strict screening. Generally speaking, it is difficult for ordinary people who are not even considered enthusiasts to qualify to complete this full marathon.”

"How's it going? Are you interested?"

"If you're interested, I can recommend someone to you."

Zhang Yuanzhi, who originally intended to persuade Chen Baiyu to pursue a professional career, paused for a moment, and for some reason blurted out that he was advertising for the Chengdu Marathon.

Perhaps, deep down, he harbored a faint hope that if "this boy went to the track one more time," he would agree.

Although he understood that the possibility was slim.

"Although most people need a long recovery period after running a full marathon, I don't think you need to."

“If you can break the national record, there will be a large additional bonus. Last year, the champion who broke the national record in Wuxi received about $11.” Seeing that Chen Baiyu did not answer for a long time, Zhang Yuanzhi added two more sentences.

Hear the words.

Chen Baiyu fell silent.

Focusing on the path to excellence means not becoming a professional runner and not devoting most of your energy to other areas.

This doesn't mean he can't take advantage of the opportunity to gain something. The 300,000 yuan reward and the extra bonus from breaking the record are not a small amount for him.

Considering that I have a money-making mission called "casting the anchor of wealth", it shouldn't be a problem to go to Chengdu to participate in the marathon and earn some money.

However, the problem is...

He should be at level five by the time he receives his bonus today.

After reaching level 5, there will be a job change quest.

That was undoubtedly the most important thing to him, and everything else had to give way to it.

I don't know how long it will take.

According to Zhang Yuanzhi, the Chengdu Marathon should start in a few days.

Even if he really wanted to go, he might not make it in time.

So I pondered for a moment.

Chen Baiyu replied, "If I have the opportunity, I will probably participate in the competition in Chengdu, but I don't think I'll have much time."

"It's okay, I'll reserve a spot for you."

"Call me when you have time."

Zhang Yuanzhi quickly said that, and then handed Chen Baiyu a business card.

Chen Baiyu took the business card and glanced at it.

Zhang Yuanzhi, Director of the SC Provincial Track and Field Association

Below that is a phone number and a WeChat QR code.

He casually put the business card into his pocket and nodded to Zhang Yuanzhi: "Okay, I'll contact you when I have time."

Zhang Yuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to his face: "Alright, it's settled then. You're the champion of the Suining Marathon now, so you'd better make a good impression at the awards ceremony later. By the way, would you like me to arrange a seat for you in the middle? That way, it'll look better for the reporters to take pictures."

Chen Baiyu waved her hand: "No need."

He had little interest in these formalities.

As long as the bonus arrives on time, nothing else matters.

However, if the bonus doesn't arrive in his account, he's really willing to go to the organizer's bedside to demand payment.

The two then exchanged a few more pleasantries.

We talked about some details of the match just now.

Zhang Yuanzhi couldn't help but praise him again for his stable pace and exceptional talent.

Chen Baiyu waved his hand modestly.

Just then, a commotion erupted downstairs: "Attention all runners! Please assemble at the finish line! The awards ceremony is about to begin!"

Then someone added: "Friends from the dance, choir, and martial arts performance teams, please get ready, it will be your turn to go on stage after the awards ceremony!"

The two looked at each other.

Zhang Yuanzhi gestured to Chen Baiyu, "Let's go down together."

The two walked out of the room one after the other and headed down the corridor toward the stairwell.

The hotel corridor was carpeted in dark red, making no sound when stepped on. Several landscape photos of Suining hung on the walls, and soft light shone down from the ceiling lights, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

But just as they reached the stairwell, a quarrel broke out downstairs, and they could vaguely hear someone shouting, "I'm not bothering you, can't I just wander around near the hotel?"

Chen Baiyu and Zhang Yuanzhi exchanged a glance and quickened their pace downstairs.

As soon as I walked into the lobby on the first floor, I saw a group of people gathered at the entrance.

The two groups faced off, the atmosphere tense and ready to clash.

Chen Baiyu saw that one group of people was the performance team of Leiyang Qinna Hall led by Zhao Lei, and the other group of people also looked strong and healthy, but he didn't know their background.
