After graduating from high school, Lu Ke received offers from five universities with excellent grades and excellent personal copywriting, and finally chose the University of California, Los Angeles to major in journalism and communication, one of the main reasons is that the football team here has a long history and tradition, and he can continue his football dream.

Los Angeles is an expensive city, and the tuition fees plus the cost of living are quite affordable. Although Lu Ke's parents immigrate, they are not investment immigrants, but skilled immigrants. Lu Ke's father is a programmer, and Lu Ke's mother is an accountant, and the two of them have immigrated with their own abilities, and their lives are relatively stable, but they are far from being rich.

In order to save living expenses and adapt to American-style college life, Lu Ke chose a shared apartment, a three-bedroom house, in addition to him and Logan, there is another male student, Jay-Fox (Jay-Fox).

Jay is a classmate of Lu Ke's same department, and the two of them were divided into a group to do a project in the communication course of their freshman year, and gradually became friends and then roommates.

When Lu Ke and Logan returned to the apartment, Jay was playing a game in the living room, staring at the screen tightly, casually greeting, "Training is over?" Do you want to play a game? Relax and unwind. ”

"I'm coming!" Logan was the first to jump over and find a cozy corner on the tattered couch - the one they had picked up on the side of the road, shabby but comfortable. Curling up cross-legged on the couch is really an idea.

If it was usual, Lu Ke would also be willing to go over and relax for a while. But today, he had more important things to do, and after saying hello to the two roommates, Lu Ke returned to his room, and after sitting down, he couldn't wait to summon the system, and then noticed the unread message in the upper left corner.

I turned my brain around and opened my inbox, and there was an unread message in it, and when I opened it, there was only one sentence in it. "Daily training tasks: endurance long-distance running, 10,000 meters; Task Time Limit: None; Reward: +1 Base Points. ”

Lu Ke's eyes couldn't help but light up, the doubts just now have been answered, the basic points can be obtained by completing the task, so, go further, "Xiao Qi?" Are there any other tasks besides the daily training tasks? ”

"Yes. Missions are divided into daily missions, tournament missions, and special missions. Xiao Qi's professional voice dutifully explained again, "Every mission has a corresponding reward. ”

"Quest Interface." Lu Ke just thought about it in his mind, and the system page was switched, the same blue translucent interface, with three columns, daily tasks, competition tasks, and special tasks.

According to the law just now, a three-on-three duel is a game task, and what appears now is a daily task, so what about special tasks?

As if sensing Lu Ke's doubts, Xiao Qi further explained, "I don't have the permission to open the special task option for the time being. ”

Lu Ke laughed dumbly, "You can tell you the truth, I'm not level enough for the time being, I'm not a glass heart." "It's not even a substitute, the game tasks are already a fluke, how can it be possible to trigger special missions? Therefore, he should not be in a hurry, and move forward step by step in a down-to-earth manner, at least the way to obtain the base points is now understood.

Although Lu Ke can't wait to devote himself to training now, he also knows that speed is not enough. After such a long day, and such a day of ups and downs, all he needs most is to get a good rest, refresh himself, and then get up tomorrow morning and start training in earnest.

So, Lu Ke chose to relax. He opened the door and shouted to the two people on the couch, "Guys, add me one." Let me teach you a good lesson, and kill all sides! ”

"Get out." "Come here, I'll fight you, I'll beat you to call your brother." "Come and try, come and try, you'll definitely be defeated."

……

The next morning, at around half past five, Lu Ke had already gotten up. After changing into sportswear, I left the house and started jogging.

Los Angeles is a city full of sunshine, with wide streets, tall palm trees and low-rise bungalows, and the whole city has a sudden sense of openness, which is very different from the flower-filled and small and delicate style of San Francisco. Located in West Hollywood, less than a fifteen-minute drive from the UCLA campus, Lu Ke and his apartment can be seen every morning with a large number of morning joggers, all sweating and starting their day in this way.

Endurance running is one of the daily training activities in rugby, but it is not the most central event. Compared with endurance, short-distance sprint ability, short-term explosive power and instantaneous acceleration are more important training. Therefore, most of their training is based on 1,000 or 2,000 meters, and two sets at most are enough.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, because he is burdened with the burden of completing the task, he is always calculating the distance he runs, and he only runs out of 1,500 meters, Lu Ke feels that his breathing is starting to be a little disordered, and it seems that the speed of physical consumption is much faster than usual training. Endurance is the most outstanding of all Lu Ke's physical qualities, and he naturally will not admit defeat easily.

In this case, simply put aside the burden of the task for the time being and devote yourself wholeheartedly to the exercise of morning jogging. No longer counting the distance, just focusing on running, running all the way from West Hollywood to the pier of Santa Monica, you can see in the distance above the clear and translucent tile blue sky, the pale pink sunlight is penetrating into gold little by little, sprinkled on the boundless sea, sparkling, blooming infinite glow, like a miracle.

The tranquility of the early morning, the noise of the sea, the silence of the sunrise, the awakening of the dock, the kind of vitality between noisy and quiet, caught in the sea breeze, makes people can't help but open their arms, let the raging sea breeze pass through their hands, become wings, and then soar to embrace the intoxicating beauty in front of them.

Wholeheartedly devoting himself to sports, sweating profusely, and then the whole world suddenly opened up, this feeling was really amazing, so much so that Lu Ke couldn't help but cheer at the waves of the sea, "Ah! "The turbid heat in the chest is vented, and the body and mind are relaxed.

The footsteps stopped at the end of the head, bathed in the sun and sea breeze, Lu Ke looked down at his watch, and realized that he had been running for an hour. After stabilizing his breath, he summoned the system again, and then noticed that the inbox in the upper left corner had a new message again, and he opened it to take a look. Sure enough—

Mission accomplished.

"Congratulations, the daily training mission has been completed, and you have gained +1 base points."

After confirming, the base point in the upper right corner also changed, from "0" to "1", without waiting for Lu Ke to think about how this point should be added, and then another task appeared with the sound of "ding", no doubt that another new daily training task appeared.

When you open it and read it, the content inside becomes complicated.

"Daily Training Tasks:

Endurance long-distance running, 10,000 meters;

Weighted squats, three sets of ten reps;

sit-ups, three sets of ten reps;

Pull-ups: three sets of ten reps;

Bench press: three sets of 15 reps;

Moving steps: three groups, each group 15 round-trips;

Single-arm quick toss: five sets of 20 reps each;

Passes on one knee: 5 sets of 20 reps;

Running and passing at a constant speed: 5 sets of 20 reps each;

Forty-yard switchback: three sets of 10 round-trips each;

Mission time limit: three consecutive days (0/3);

Reward: +1 Base Points. ”

A series of tasks, dazzling, Lu Ke looked at it, in fact, these are the basic training of quarterbacks, there is no special technical content, it is completely the basic skills of training, but the first task is just an endurance long-distance run, and now it has become ...... Ten items, this is directly multiplied tenfold, which is really unexpected.

More importantly, "Little Seven, what do you mean by three days in a row?" Lu Ke noticed this detail, he actually already had the answer, but he still needed Xiao Qi's confirmation.

"The mission must be three days in a row, with all training completed every day; If the task is interrupted, it clears and starts again. Xiao Qi's answer confirmed Lu Ke's conjecture, he couldn't help but start to hold his forehead, and asked further, "Then the next daily task, will more training items be added?" Not just basic projects, but also specialized technical projects? ”

"Yes." Xiao Qi replied dryly.

There will be more and more projects, more and more difficult, and again, more and more specialized. It's no surprise that the effort and hardship required to become a top quarterback is far beyond imagination. To be precise, reaching the top in any one field is not an easy task.

Over the years, from high school to college, he has persevered all the way, from hobby to dream, from amateur to professional - at least trying to become a professional, even if he became a sparring partner, he never gave up, and now, he has no reason to give up. On the contrary, he will go the extra mile.

Now on the docks in Santa Monica, there is definitely no way to do those dribbling exercises, but he can try those basic exercises, for example, pull-ups.

Next to the dock, Lu Ke found a row of horizontal bars, he grabbed one of them, exerted force with his arm, and began to do pull-ups. Ten pull-ups in a group, which is not a difficult task, the first group is done, take a break, then the second group, followed by the third group. Thirty pull-ups and it was done in no time.

The system was summoned again, but Lu Ke found that there was no unread information. Is it because the whole task was not completed, so there is no news? However, when I opened the task page and looked closely, a set of numbers was added to the pull-up option, (6/30).

If he didn't get it wrong, this set of numbers meant that he only completed six pull-ups. But the problem is that he did thirty pull-ups, and his math is still very good, and there is absolutely no miscalculation, but why is there only six shown here?

"Little Seven? Seven boys? Lu Ke frowned and called for help.
