Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Chapter 18

It wasn’t long before all the contestants had signed in.

A PE teacher in charge began organizing the opening ceremony for each class.

During this time, the athletes warmed up in the middle of the field.

“Xiao Chen, I bought you a sports drink. They say drinking this can improve your performance. Do you want some?”

Shen Qinghan walked up to Lin Zichen, who was stretching his tendons, and handed over the can with a bull printed on it.

Lin Zichen felt that it wasn’t very useful, and he didn’t need external help to improve his performance, but because Shen Qinghan bought it, he didn’t think twice before taking a sip.

“How does it feel, Xiao Chen?”

“It seems to have some effect; I feel a bit more spirited.”

Lin Zichen told a white lie on the spot.

After hearing this, Shen Qinghan smiled and made a cheering gesture, saying, “Xiao Chen, I’ll be waiting for you to come back with three gold medals for a photo together.”

“I will,” Lin Zichen confidently replied.

The Martial Arts Team boy standing nearby laughed inwardly at his confidence in winning three gold medals.

…

About half an hour later.

The school sports meet’s opening ceremony finally concluded.

The competition officially began!

The first event Lin Zichen signed up for was shot put, followed by the high jump, and finally the highlight event, the 100-meter dash.

“Zi Chen, go for the first place! Your senior believes in you!”

As Lin Zichen queued up for the shot put, a girl in the crowd to his left waved at him.

Lin Zichen turned with a smile, only politely acknowledging her, nothing more.

The Martial Arts Team boy in front of Lin Zichen felt utterly tormented by the scene, internally begging for the competition to start quickly.

Because the girl cheering for Lin Zichen was the one he had a secret crush on.

Soon, it was the Martial Arts Team boy’s turn to throw the shot put.

He picked up the shot and with a fierce twist, flung it from his hand.

After a moment, the judge’s voice echoed from the front.

“15.67 meters!”

As soon as the distance was announced, the spectators all “wow”ed, shocked by the result.

Lin Zichen, queuing behind, raised an eyebrow, surprised that a middle schooler could throw the shot put so far.

15.67 meters was a distance that could qualify one as a first-tier athlete in his previous life.

At the end of the day, the world was different.

People in this world had far greater physical prowess than those in his past life.

Leaving the white line, the Martial Arts Team boy looked back at Lin Zichen with an air of self-satisfaction.

Lin Zichen felt somewhat baffled, unable to understand why the boy felt the need to look back at him with such a proud expression.

“Xiao Chen, go for the gold!”

Not far to the side, Shen Qinghan clenched her delicate fists, cheering Lin Zichen on.

Lin Zichen also smiled and returned a supportive gesture before walking to the white line, casually pushing the shot put forward.

As a result, the shot put flew out as if launched from a cannon, covering a great distance instantly!

The PE teacher responsible for recording the distances couldn’t hide his astonishment at the sight.

After snapping out of it, he hurriedly grabbed the tape measure to find out how far it had been thrown.

“20.12 meters!”

The moment this number was called out, a huge gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.

Everyone’s face was filled with shock.

Especially the Martial Arts Team boy, who was so stunned that his mouth hung open wide enough to swallow the shot put, his face filled with disbelief.

How can this be possible!

How could he throw it 20 meters?!

He’s just a freshman in junior high!

I must be dreaming!

Thinking this, a boy from the Martial Arts Team raised his hand and slapped his own face, it hurt a lot, it was reality!

The people nearby looked baffled, not understanding why he would slap himself for no reason.

“Xiao Chen, you’re so awesome!”

Shen Qinghan, holding her phone that had just captured a few photos, excitedly ran towards Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen touched her head and smiled, “I’ve already gotten one gold medal, two more to go, you just wait to take pictures for me after the sports meeting is over.”

…

In the following time.

Lin Zichen participated in the running long jump and the 100-meter sprint one after another.

As expected, he took first place without any suspense in all of them, smoothly collecting three gold medals.

The boy from the Martial Arts Team, who was previously filled with confidence to outperform him, ended up with a life full of doubts, getting three silver medals, and was completely dumbfounded.

“Zi Chen, junior, you’re too amazing, all gold medals, your senior sister admires you so much!”

“Zi Chen, junior, I bought you some water!”

“Zi Chen, junior! Drink mine! Drink mine! I bought you a sports drink that can help you recover your strength quickly!”

Lin Zichen had just gotten off the stadium stage with three gold medals when he was surrounded by several enthusiastic senior sisters.

They formed a tight circle around him, making it impossible for him to walk away.

Shen Qinghan, holding a sports drink she had just bought, stood on the outside trying to hand it to him but couldn’t reach.

Seeing this, Lin Zichen in the middle had no choice but to say to the senior sisters surrounding him:

“Thanks for the kind thoughts, senior sisters, I’ve brought my own water, I’ll just drink that.”

After saying this, he squeezed out from the group and walked over to Shen Qinghan to take the sports drink she was offering, unscrewed the cap, and began to drink deeply.

“Xiao Chen, you’re so popular at school, even the ninth-grade senior sisters have become your little fangirls,” Shen Qinghan said enviously.

Lin Zichen screwed the cap back on and chuckled, “But I don’t need so many little fangirls, having you as my little fangirl is enough for me.”

“I’m not your little fangirl, I’m your childhood friend, okay?” Shen Qinghan pouted her rosy lips, displaying her dissatisfaction.

Lin Zichen just laughed and didn’t say anything.

The girls around them all looked on with envy at this scene.

They were all so envious of Shen Qinghan.

An ordinary girl, yet she had a childhood friend who was not only handsome but also good at studying and had great athletic abilities. It looked just like a fairy tale of Cinderella and the Prince.

Shen Qinghan, feeling the envious gazes from the girls around her, felt delighted inside. Having Lin Zichen as her envy-evoking childhood friend made her feel like she owned the whole world.

After finishing the drink in a moment.

The two took a lot of nice photos together.

When they were satisfied with the pictures, they walked back to the classroom together, packed up their things, and rode home on a bike.

Because her home was a bit far from the school, Zhang Wanxin specially bought Lin Zichen a bicycle to make it convenient for him to ride to and from school with Shen Qinghan.

On the way back to the classroom.

Lin Zichen suddenly remembered something and immediately sent his thoughts into the void.

Right after that, he finally saw the message he had been eagerly awaiting.
