Chapter 176 Extraordinary Talent?
After bandaging his wound, Gil Xavier got on his bicycle and continued cycling along the lake, releasing his youthful energy on his way to the capital, Ockham.
"I usually get very tired riding this route. Why don't I feel anything today?"
Seeing the tallest building on the outermost edge of Oakham in the distance, Jill felt incredible. He clearly remembered that when he used to cycle here, the sun was already setting, and he was drenched in sweat and panting heavily.
But it's only around three or four in the afternoon today.
Moreover, he wasn't even out of breath, and only had a thin layer of sweat on his body.
He didn't think much of it, just that it might be because he was getting older, stronger, and in better physical condition than before.
"Since I'm here so early today, I can wander around a bit more." He rode his bicycle into the city.
Perhaps because it's school holidays, many young people in the town are out in groups, treating the whole town like a playground.
Some climbed over walls, some climbed stairs, some lifted bricks, and some removed tiles.
Or perhaps they'd jump and run on the road, racing each other to see who could outrun the car.
Jill, being a young person of the same age, naturally enjoyed the excitement and sports, so she naturally locked her bicycle to a bench by the roadside and joined the local young people in their sports activities.
Something unexpected happened: as he merged into the crowd, he accelerated from the start. Like an arrow released from a bow, he knocked down many people in front of him, and in just a few breaths, he was at the very front.
"Who is it?"
"Aren't you just looking for trouble!"
"Holy crap, this guy is fast."
"Occam's number one fastest man!"
The person who was hit was resentful, but other bystanders exclaimed in amazement.
Even Jill himself didn't understand what had happened. Just as he accelerated, he felt that his body's operating power far exceeded his expectations, and then he felt something hit him.
However, forces are reciprocal. With several thuds, he not only knocked the person in front of him away but also made his own head spin.
Realizing something was wrong, he gradually slowed down. When he finally stopped, he found that even the car had been left far behind, and he had already reached the end of the long street.
"What—what happened?" He looked at someone waving a pocket watch and shouting, "18 seconds!"
Another person rushed up to him, panting heavily, clearly having just run all the way: "Hey buddy! You know what?! This stretch of road is over two hundred meters! And you covered it in just 18 seconds!"
"Do you know what that means?!"
Jill wasn't sure, and honestly shook her head: "Sorry, I'm not sure. I think I bumped into someone. I need to go back and check."
"Oh God! Now is not the time to worry about hitting anyone! You have to understand, you were weaving through the crowd just now, and even with all those obstacles, you were averaging twelve or thirteen meters per second!"
Only then did the man compose himself, calm his tone, pat his suit jacket, pull out a business card, and hand it to Jill: "I forgot to introduce myself. I'm an official from the Oakum Sports Affairs Division. You can call me Ellen Parker. You know the Sports Affairs Division, right? It's under the jurisdiction of the Deputy Minister of Education's Sports Affairs Division."
"Hello!" Upon hearing that the person opposite him was a "humble public institution," Jill Xavier felt a surge of respect. After all, even the humblest public institution only applied to ministers. For ordinary people, public institutions were much more than just public institutions.
Just like the waves of the times that the ministers talk about at length, even if a broken wave falls on the shoulders of an ordinary person, it is as if the Atlantic Ocean is hanging upside down, washing the ordinary person clean and sending them to heaven on the spot.
Or perhaps it's the ministers' emphasis on the British people's courage, their willingness to endure hardship, and their love of toil—behind this short sentence are countless families borrowing money to make ends meet, revitalizing the overall economy, and supporting the superstructure.
How could Jill not be terrified!
He stammered, "Sir, you—, I—"
"Don't be so reserved, Mr. Jill Xavier. You may not know what kind of running speed you are? I can tell you definitively that this is a speed that exceeds the limits of human movement!" Alan Parker was extremely excited. He saw a shortcut to promotion, a raise, and the pinnacle of his life.
If he can personally discover such a talent, break world records, and refresh world records, then the Deputy Minister of the Department of Sports Affairs of the Ministry of Education will surely promote him vigorously, accumulate fame, and there may be a possibility of running for office in the future!
"You're going to be famous! All your troubles will be gone! You'll gain glory, praise, and money!" Parker painted a rosy picture of Jill's future, like oil on a hot plate.
Jill was dizzy when Parker led her to the small arena.
In the small arena, he listened and then began running in a very methodical manner.
Even to the professional coaches on the sidelines, Jill's breathing, stride, arm swing, and stepping were all wrong; in short, none of the scientific theories were reflected in Jill's running.
But Jill just kept running and clocked six seconds in the 100 meters.
The coach had to be carried out because he was too weak to stand. All the knowledge, theories, and experience he had accumulated in the first half of his life had been completely destroyed.
Jill was carried out because Parker was so excited that he hugged Jill and kissed her wildly.
"You're truly my lucky star!"
"I will definitely be transferred back to London!"
"You will definitely become a globally renowned sports superstar!"
That evening, Jill took care of her food, clothing, and lodging at the county government office.
Looking at her luxurious clothes, enjoying exquisite food, and experiencing comfortable accommodations, she realized that she was truly different.
Joy, an unparalleled joy, filled his entire being. Every cell in his body felt warm and provided him with inexhaustible motivation. He even felt that if he were to run the 100 meters again at this moment, he could achieve an even better result than before.
He just didn't want to move anymore because he was too full. Even at the highest point in Lateran County, the officer at the banquet kindly advised him, patting him on the shoulder affectionately, leaving him feeling dizzy and confused.
Especially when he thought about how decades of living in the Abingham family had made him used to being humiliated by his parents and used to being a hopeless case.
Things changed suddenly today.
In a world of extremes, both ice and fire, one becomes intoxicated not by wine, but by one's own state of mind.
"I am truly gifted. I was just accumulating my talent before, and now it has suddenly burst forth."
He pondered for a long time, but couldn't understand why he possessed such powerful athletic ability; he could only attribute it to talent.
Although no such athlete has ever come from their family, according to the teacher, genes can mutate!
It's obvious that he's the one who underwent the genetic mutation! He gained immense power!
Jill rinsed her mouth, tidied herself up quickly, and lay down on the bed.
