The video was followed by a bunch of comments from people.
[Assistance: So fast, this must be a four-minute pace!]
[Running Just for Weight Loss: Since when did we have such a fast divine runner in Longjiang District??]
[Lin Xiao, your insults are really harsh: nm, I was right there on the spot, this guy ran ten kilometers maintaining this pace, it's terrifying.]
[Long Xiang: Could it be a professional athlete coming specifically to compete in the Longjiang half marathon for prize money?]
[Ye Yunyan: Stop guessing blindly, I know this guy, he's actually a rather low-key runner from Longjiang District, but I didn't see him running this fast yesterday...]
[Ye Yunyan: @Wangquan Baye, big shot, come chat!]
After reading the chat records, Wang Ye was silent.
His WeChat nickname was Wangquan Baye, an extension of his name.
He typed a line of text and sent it.
[Wangquan Baye: Sorry everyone, I'm just occasionally running to exercise, not a professional athlete.]
[Wangquan Baye: Also, I have a question for you all, I'm recently experiencing low blood sugar after running, is there a convenient snack to quickly replenish energy?]
[Ye Yunyan: You can carry an energy gel with you ahead of time.]
[Ye Yunyan: One energy gel can provide one to two hundred calories, enough to support a certain distance. If you frequently have low blood sugar, carry a few more as backup.]
[Ye Yunyan: Most competitors also carry a few energy gels during a half marathon as a precaution.]
[Wangquan Baye: I've learned so much, thank you!]
Wang Ye pressed the lock screen button, put the phone back in his pocket, and continued stretching his stiff calf muscles.
Ye Yunyan mentioned energy gels in the group chat, he had indeed heard of them, but never tried them.
Usually, you only see athletes carrying energy gels in marathon competition vlogs to replenish needed nutrients after high-intensity exercise.
Hence, Wang Ye always had the stereotype that energy gels were only usable in competitions. Unexpectedly, they can be used in daily training for endurance as well.
Similarly, carrying oral glucose solution can achieve similar effects, Wang Ye's fridge at home still has a dozen boxes of oral glucose solution stored.
However, oral glucose solution replenishes energy quickly, more suitable for emergency situations.
For example, Wang Ye's daily evolution-induced low blood sugar symptoms are more swiftly and effectively quelled with oral glucose solution.
Energy gels however are slow-release isotonic, continuously releasing energy over a period, replenishing more slowly, thus more suitable for regular training usage.
After stretching his muscles, Wang Ye took out his phone and opened a shopping app, ordering thirty energy gels from a flagship sports supplement brand store, with a few bags of salt pills included. These so-called salt pills similarly replenish electrolytes during exercise.
After completing the purchase.
Wang Ye took a thin jacket from his carry-on bag and draped it over his shoulders to prevent catching a chill in the breeze after sweating.
Then he began leisurely strolling along the street beside the park.
Firstly to improve his Walking Skill proficiency.
Secondly to find a clean and appetizing restaurant along the street for lunch.
Eventually, Wang Ye entered a pork knuckle rice shop and ordered a large portion of fatty pork knuckle rice.
The richly aromatic pork knuckle rice was absolutely delightful, accompanied by some refreshing pickles; the taste was quite good, soothing much of his soreness.
After finishing the bowl of pork knuckle rice, Wang Ye scraped the last few grains of rice from the bowl with his chopsticks, showing a lingering sense in his eyes. He realized after eating the pork knuckle rice, his fullness was only about thirty percent.
He then ordered a serving of meat noodle soup and two portions of pan-fried dumplings, barely achieving seventy percent fullness.
Wang Ye could clearly perceive that his appetite was growing much faster than his physical development. Although his current physical level was only about 1.7 times that of an average adult male, his appetite shouldn't be so outlandish.
The food he just consumed was estimated to be at least 2000 calories, almost equivalent to a normal person's daily basal metabolism. And this was just one meal; if eating at this rate for all three meals, his daily intake would be at least 6000 calories, which is unsustainable for anyone.
Most likely, much of the nutrition he consumed was needed to fill the nutritional gap for evolution.
It's obvious that the improvement in his physical condition through daily evolution couldn't possibly appear out of nowhere.
Though the system aids his evolution, the nutrition consumed for evolution still needs to be extracted from his body.
If he continues to evolve, his appetite will likely become even more astonishing.
"Maybe... participate in an eating contest sometime?"
Wang Ye suddenly had this strange thought.
But he quickly dismissed the notion.
The system's Evolution Level will continuously increase over time, and he's destined to achieve physical qualities beyond human limits. Exposing his secret publicly for a small prize isn't worth it.
The wealth from the prize money he will eventually earn with ease through his abilities, there's no need to partake in such niche competitions, leaving potential trouble and blemishes behind.
After finishing lunch.
Wang Ye opened a high-resolution map, searching for nearby gyms.
Immediately, the map displayed the landmarks of more than a dozen gyms.
After some selection, he settled on a gym only 300 meters from here, which was also the closest gym to his home.
Wang Ye followed the map navigation, crossed the street, and entered a mall.
Then took the elevator to the third floor of the mall.
While Wang Ye was navigating with his phone.
Suddenly, a man in sportswear walked toward him, frowning as he looked at Wang Ye for a while, as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.
Wang Ye raised his head and saw him, greeted him with a wave, "Hello, Xiao Xu."
Xiao Xu, whose full name is Xu Gaohua, was Wang Ye's subordinate at the company.
However, Wang Ye has now resigned, and the subordinates have become past tense.
"Brother Wang? It really is you! I thought you looked so familiar." Xu Gaohua showed a surprised expression, "How come you've changed so much all of a sudden? Have you lost weight due to illness? Doesn't seem like it?"
"Since recovering my health, I started running to lose weight, now I've slimmed down a lot, and my condition has improved significantly." Wang Ye explained honestly.
Upon hearing this, Xu Gaohua's eyes dimmed slightly, "Brother Wang, I'm really sorry about last time. I was on a business trip and couldn't help with your tasks, which led to your hospitalization.
I immediately went to visit you at the hospital once I returned, only to find out from the nurse that you had already been discharged."
