Orc Undead Sports Warrior

In the VIP section, Fujita Tsuyoshi stood by the window, quietly deep in thought.

"He has such great potential. Should I meet Lu Wei now? No, I'll wait and see. This kid is still too green. I need time to observe him."

Looking at Lu Wei, who was surrounded by the crowd, Fujita's usually icy expression softened into a slight smile.

The competition is over, and the entire delegation will fly directly back to Beijing tomorrow night. They will then attend a celebration banquet hosted by the General Administration of Sport in Beijing. No further information has been given regarding the arrangements after that.

By scheduling the return flight for the afternoon, everyone effectively had half a day of free time. This made many team members quite happy, even though most Chinese people aren't particularly fond of Japan; they figured it was nice to come here and explore.

After all, many track and field athletes don't earn much more than salaried workers; apart from competition prize money, they usually receive a fixed salary.

Track and field athletes are hard to compare with athletes in sports like football and basketball. Many athletes in these sports earn in a month what Chinese athletes can't earn in several years. Only athletes at the very top of the pyramid can earn a decent income, but even that is far less than what athletes in these sports earn.

Lu Wei looked around and felt that electronic products were the most interesting. He bought his father a watch and his mother a tablet computer.

Lu Wei took a liking to a camera and thought it was pretty good. He still thought the technology of turning images into photos was incredible. With this camera, he could take a picture whenever he wanted. As for other things, Lu Wei wasn't very interested.

Even these three products cost Lu Wei 20,000 yuan, which surprised his teammates. Among this group of athletes, very few came from well-off families; most were from ordinary backgrounds.

If you had money, who would send their child to train in track and field? It's the most tedious sport in terms of training content. To achieve results, you have to train day after day. Even if you have talent, you still have to repeat this process.

Lu Wei didn't feel any pain spending tens of thousands of yuan. In his mind, if you earn money, you should spend it. He had spent almost all the money he had, but he wasn't too bothered. He figured he could just earn more.

Besides, I'll definitely receive more prize money than at the national championships after this competition. Also, the filming company that wants me to participate in the wilderness survival show won't let me participate in these activities for nothing.

He was right. Since the World Championships ended, many brands have wanted Lu Wei to endorse their products, and the advertising fees would probably far exceed his prize money, so he wasn't worried at all.

The Japanese vendors here seem to enjoy chatting with people, probably because there are many Chinese tourists. They'll come up and strike up a conversation, which is quite different from what I've heard. Perhaps it's just a difference in local customs; anyway, the people here seem to enjoy talking to others.

Back in Beijing, the General Administration of Sport held a celebration banquet for the coaches and athletes who participated in the competition. At the banquet, the athletes and coaches who achieved good results sat at the first table. A leader surnamed Liu, introduced by Feng Yong, shook hands with each athlete one by one.

In public places, everything is stratified, and Lu Wei found the atmosphere strange. This Leader Liu must be Feng Yong's superior; judging from his conversation with Feng Yong, he seemed quite satisfied with the competition.

When it was Lu Wei's turn, the leader surnamed Liu extended his hand: "Little Lu, we've been following you since the National Championships. You performed very well this time, but you can't be arrogant. I believe that with young talents like you leading the way for the next 10 years, Chinese athletics will definitely stand at the top of the world!"

The polite words sounded a bit like a vow, and Lu Wei felt it was a bit like awkward small talk. This guy had already defined his career in less than three sentences.

To be honest, Lu Wei hadn't thought that far ahead. He didn't know if he could maintain such a high level of enthusiasm for track and field.

To achieve ideal results in track and field competitions, you have to put in the corresponding amount of time; conversely, without effort, you won't get decent results.

But I can't spend my whole life tied to this project. The world is full of wonderful things, like the potential collaboration with Dou Niu Live.

Lu Wei made an appointment with the online editor known online as Dianfeng on the day he returned to Beijing. The editor flew to Beijing the next day, demonstrating his dedication.

The two met in an inconspicuous little teahouse, and Lu Wei felt that the scene was like a rendezvous between secret agents.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Yuhang, an editor from the sports section of Dou Niu Live!"

Lu Wei noticed that this was a young editor who wasn't much older than himself, wearing a white crew neck shirt, jeans, and sneakers, with a clean-shaven face.

He's about 1.8 meters tall, and judging from his physique, he's a sports enthusiast.

"You weren't watched when you came, were you? You're a public figure now. We're still in the initial contact stage. If companies with connections find out, we probably won't have the opportunity to work with you anymore. Have the leaders told you that you can take on events on your own?"

The young man seemed cautious, but he looked quite capable.

"We didn't say we allowed it, nor did we say we didn't. We're here today just to hear about your plans. If you're interested, we can continue the negotiations. I don't know much about contracts, so I need to consult a professional before I can give you a final answer."

Upon seeing the other person, Lu Wei didn't intend to beat around the bush; he simply wanted to hear the other person's ideas.

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point. We've reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with Orange TV for a show similar to Bear Grylls'. In the show, several actors will participate in a wilderness survival activity with you. This will not only boost ratings but also popularize some wilderness survival knowledge. The show needs someone who can command the audience and attract viewers, and under the current circumstances, we feel that you are the perfect candidate."

"I'm sorry, but if it's about being stationery for celebrities, I won't participate. This kind of survival activity is just a show for the celebrities you've brought in, and I'm not interested in this kind of program."

Lu Wei interrupted Zhou Yuhang before he could finish speaking, saying that it was like acting, doing several activities in several locations, and then showing the audience the edited footage.

In this way, you become like a coach for celebrities experiencing life, and also part of the show.

This is not what I want.

"Our world champions are indeed decisive and efficient. Unfortunately, I haven't finished explaining the entire concept of the show. The show will have two parts: a live broadcast and an edited version. We plan to create some unexpected situations so that these entertainment stars will be able to survive in the wild without their knowledge."

We need someone who is both capable and influential, and I think you're the perfect person for that role.

After Zhou Yuhang explained the entire program plan, Lu Wei nodded slightly this time, which made things a bit more interesting.
