Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence
Chapter 483 - 227: New Intel: Mole, Tuina Massage Book, and Soaring Scrap Iron Prices!
And besides, this race is only 15 kilometers long, not even a half marathon.
This distance is child’s play for an elite runner like him who runs full marathons all year round.
He feels that his chances of winning this race are over 90%!
So, both the master and the apprentice are much more relaxed mentally.
Usually, before every race, the two of them never sleep past 9 PM.
Today, it’s already past midnight and they’re still streaming.
The relaxation in mentality is one thing, and the many gifts from the stream’s viewers are another!
"Brother Peng is definitely getting first place this time! I’ll go to the starting line to take photos for him tomorrow!"
"I heard the first place prize this time is only 5000 yuan. That’s a bit stingy, not as much as the third place in other cities."
"What do you expect from a small town race? 5000 yuan is quite a lot."
"I feel like the chance of Brother Peng’s disciple making it to the podium is high, given there are no big players in this small race."
"I heard Brother Liang is running too. This time, several streamers from our Shishi are going to sweep the ranks."
"Hahaha, that’s brutal. You guys should at least leave a spot on the podium for Ping County!"
"That small town managed to host a healthy run for once, only for all the ranks and prizes to be swept up by your city’s folks, how pitiful!"
Over a thousand night owls who haven’t slept yet in Fang Yunpeng’s stream chimed in teasingly, as if the race was over and the results were already set in stone.
"Hahaha, in a race, everyone competes fairly. Ultimately, winners and losers, everyone should give it their all—that’s the spirit of sportsmanship."
"As for the ranking and prizes, in my opinion, they’re not important. I never pay attention to those."
Fang Yunpeng said with a smile on camera, looking carefree.
"Look, look, this is how a master remains calm and composed!"
"Brother Peng’s pretense gets full marks from me!"
"Composure comes from strength!"
"Brother Peng, this time you have to show Ping County’s running group what Shishi’s running group can do!"
"Last time at Junlebao’s speed run, Brother Peng couldn’t compete due to injury and let the leader of Ping County’s running group win big. We must win it back this time!"
"Crush them!"
The viewers in the stream are all sorts who love to watch the excitement.
They’re all stirring things up in Fang Yunpeng’s stream.
While Fang Yunpeng and Jia Feng appeared calm and friendly on the surface.
The two are indeed here for revenge this time.
For this, Fang Yunpeng and Jia Feng, the master and disciple, even gave up a race with a higher prize money.
Previously, in a 10-kilometer speed run organized by Junlebao in Shishi.
Having stayed up late with his girlfriend the night before, Jia Feng, who was in a bad state, lost by less than 5 seconds to a surprisingly performing Huo Chenyang.
What should’ve been a sure win, plans to promote and gain followers prepared by Fang Yunpeng for Jia Feng were interrupted.
As a result, the victory was snatched by Huo Chenyang, upsetting the master and disciple’s plans.
Since then, the master and disciple have harbored a grudge against Huo Chenyang.
They’ve been waiting for a chance to get back at him.
The first Healthy Run event held in Ping County is a great opportunity.
To participate, the master and disciple even withdrew from a more lucrative and sure-win race.
They even invited some strong running buddies to have fun.
The first Healthy Run event in Ping County is significant for Ping County and its running community.
But if not even one local ranks in the top 10, it’ll be quite the joke.
Around 1 AM, Fang Yunpeng turned off the stream.
"Fengzi, run well tomorrow, I’ll break the wind for you and make sure you get on the podium."
Fang Yunpeng patted his disciple’s shoulder, wearing a confident smile.
"Hehe, thanks, Master. I can already imagine Huo Chenyang’s ugly losing face tomorrow."
Jia Feng chuckled twice.
Rarely having the chance for ’revenge’ coupled with his master leading the charge, he felt confident about this race.
The two chatted a bit more before Jia Feng bid farewell and returned to his room to sleep.
...
"Honey, honey, get up for breakfast, we’re almost late~"
At 5 AM the next day, a soundly sleeping Jiang Tao was woken up by Xu Li.
Though he only got less than five hours of sleep last night.
But in [Deep Sleep Mode], Jiang Tao’s body had already recovered.
The breakfast was toast with egg and ham, prepared with care by the mother-in-law.
While Jiang Tao had breakfast, Xu Li carefully organized the gear needed for today’s race.
Quick-dry vest, shorts, sweatband, training shoes, and a waist bag.
Along with energy gels and salt pills for energy replenishment.
And a sports camera for shooting.
Today, Xu Li and Xu Sha also doubled as photographers, capturing footage of the race.
The materials they shoot will be handed over to Shan Yang, who is working in Beijing, to be made into a vlog.
This race vlog will be the first video for Jiang Tao’s account on Kuaishou.
"Brother-in-law, the race starts in two hours, are you nervous? What’s your expectation for the race?"
While eating, Xu Sha held a DJI Pocket 3 to conduct a pre-race interview with Jiang Tao as he ate.
"What’s there to be nervous about? My only goal is one thing, championship, championship, championship~"
Jiang Tao clenched his fist and smiled confidently at Xu Sha’s camera.
Xu Sha playfully stuck out her tongue and asked with a smile:
"I heard the champion’s prize is 5000 yuan. How do you plan to spend it if you win, brother-in-law?"
Jiang Tao laughed, "I’m not interested in money. I just want to enjoy the race’s atmosphere, you and your sister can split it."
"Hehe, really, brother-in-law? Thanks, brother-in-law!"
Hearing that she could split the prize money, Xu Sha showed a delighted smile.
"Hey, you two are jumping the gun. The race hasn’t even started yet, and you’re already discussing how to spend the prize money."
Xu Li chuckled at the banter between the two.
"Hehe, a quick interview with Ms. Xu Li. Do you have any expectations for your husband’s race, or anything you’d like to say to him?"
As she spoke, Xu Sha aimed the camera at Xu Li, who was tidying Jiang Tao’s clothes.
Gently brushing her hair behind her ear, Xu Li looked at the camera and said softly:
"Finishing safely is enough; health is more important than anything."
Her gaze turned towards Jiang Tao, who was eating bread, filled with love. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"With your sister’s blessing, I believe you’ll run faster and finish safely."
Seeing her sister in love again, Xu Sha felt she was fed a mouthful of dog food.
Soon, Jiang Tao finished eating and changed into his race gear.
A gem blue short-sleeve and quick-dry compression pants.
On his feet were Nike’s Vaporfly NEXT% 2 running shoes.
Featuring ZoomX foam and carbon plate technology, these shoes are enhanced in comfort and durability.
These were worn by the top three in the DJ Olympics marathon.
Jiang Tao’s tall frame, donning the gear, looked quite like a professional athlete.
"My hubby’s so handsome~"
Seeing Jiang Tao dressed up, Xu Li couldn’t resist and kissed him on the cheek.
"Brother-in-law is indeed handsome, but before showcasing your affection, please excuse the irrelevant parties~"
Caught off guard, Xu Sha felt she didn’t need breakfast, already full from their affection display!
"Xiao Tao looks good in that outfit, give it your best~ we’ll all be cheering for you!"
"Experience first, results second, don’t overdo it."
The mother-in-law and father-in-law were more and more pleased with their son-in-law.
"Go Daddy~ you can do it~"
Just woken up, Jiang Xue came out rubbing her eyes, cheering for Jiang Tao.
