Chapter 42: Fantastic Result

    To Dai Li it was unbelievable. As a coach, he always thought that training was the real deal; something like weight loss exercises were nothing more than some kind of sub-training in his eyes. However, this "sub-training" had given him even more empirical value.


    "What are you thinking about? Weight loss exercises are just a normal kind of training. They won’t bring you more value," the System’s voice echoed in his mind again.


    "Then how do you exin the 51 points?" Dai Li asked immediately. "I cannot gain more than 30 points usually with a full day of training, but I gained 51 points just by teaching her two rounds of exercise."


    "Don’t forget who Feifei Yu is! She is the Olympic champion, the world record holder! Compared to those athletes you’re used to training, the highest being national top-level athletes, the difference is like day and night . Remember what I told you before: the higher level the athlete you train has, the more empirical value you will get. So, one world record holder is equal to hundreds of national top-level athletes," the System said.


    "One is equal to hundreds of national top-level athletes? That’s crazy," Dai Li sighed.


    "It’s not crazy at all. If we look at it as a ratio, thousands of athletes wouldn’t be able topare to one world record holder, let alone hundreds of them.," the System continued. "You really have good luck."


    "Good luck? What do you mean?" Dai Li asked confusedly.


    "You are only a sophomore coach on the bottom of this system." The voice of the System couldn’t sound more careless. "Your level is too low to train any world champions. Even if you were to get involved in the training, you wouldn’t be able to make any effect on them. However, you meet a world champion who needs you to help her lose weight. So now you, a sophomore coach, gets the chance to train a world champion."


    Dai Li did not appreciate the System looking down upon him. The System continued, "Just make good use of this opportunity. After all, you could get a lot of empirical value from Feifei Yu, which would help you be a junior coach."


    Dai Li nodded silently. "You are right. Two rounds of exercises make 51 points. If we practice for one whole day, I might get even more empirical value!"


    ...


    Qian was in the hospital, which meant Dai Li was temporarily in charge of the training room on the third floor. When Dai Li came to the training room the second day, Feifei Yu was already there.


    "You are pretty early! Have you had breakfast? I can bring you some if you haven’t. The soymilk today is savory." Dai Li held a dough stick in one hand and a cup of soymilk in the other, enjoying his breakfast so much.


    However, Feifei Yu looked like she was in a hurry and pressed him. "Finish your food as soon as possible, that way we can continue your weight loss exercise!"


    Dai Liughed looking at Yu’s anxious face. The words "weight loss" were very attractive for women, especially to an athlete who was looking forward to losing weight so she could go back to her normal condition. Yu performed the exercise the entire day and she lost 0.55kg. It was not as good as the first night, but still good enough to make her feel excited.


    She had been gaining a lot of weight instead of losing some for a while now, even though she was on a calorie-limited diet. The best she could do was maintain her weight to keep it from increasing. She hadn’t seen her weight go down in a long time, so the 0.8kg she lost in two days made her very happy, something she had never felt before.


    In fact, as time went on, the results of the weight loss exercise decreased. In the very beginning, she could lose 0.55kg one day. Then it changed to 0.5kg, then 0.45kg, then 0.4kg, and so on. It was because she had now gotten closer to her normal weight, which meant that her potential for losing weight decreased. But although the efficiency was declining, she had still lost 6kg in 15 days. This put her pretty close to her weight from one year ago. The fact that she had lost that much weight in 15 days was nothing short of incredible.


    Li had also gained a lot of experience during the 15 days. Like what the System had said, training Yu gave him more value than training 100 national first-ss athletes. Dai Li’s empirical value was already over 400. He would upgrade to junior coach very soon.


    ...


    "One and two, three and four, five and six, and seven and eight..."


    Li’s chanting echoed in the training room. Yu was very motivated, as usual. Although it was very boring to do the exact same exercise, because it worked very well for her weight loss it gave her a lot of hope.


    "Coach Li, take a rest. I’ve already remembered all the moves, I think I’m able to do it by myself," Yu said.


    "No!" Dai Li shook his head and said, "This is an exercise that was handed down by my ancestors. What matters is not the movement, but the tempo. You are not familiar with the rhythm, so you would make no progress if you practice on your own."


    Li would never let Yu do the exercise by herself. The requirement to make it effective was to have Li leading her through the exercises. If Yu did the exercise by herself, she wouldn’t see any change in her weight.


    "I don’t really see what tempo you’re talking about though!" Yu pouted her lips. Obviously she didn’t really buy Li’s words, but still, she obeyed him. It had been a habit of hers for more than ten years to obey the coach.


    Li exhaled and stretched his body. "Nice. Let’s do it again. Ready, one and two, three and four, five and six, and seven and eight..."


    The footsteps got louder outside the training room, but they were covered under the chanting voice of Li. Suddenly someone shouted out of the blue, "What are you doing?"


    Dai Li and Feifei Yu stopped together and looked at the door. A tall middle-aged man stood there. He was a little fat with a ck cap. His sideburns were gray. He had bushy eyebrows and big eyes. His nose was very tall and his smooth and glowing skin was very light. Li could imagine how handsome he must have been 20 years ago.


    "Who is it? I don’t think I’ve ever met him before. He shouldn’t be a teacher here!" Dai Li was about to walk forward when he heard Yu begin talking with him.


    "Coach Xu, wee back!" Yu looked very surprised and happy. She walked over to him quickly.


    This is the Coach Xu that Yu has been talking about. Dai Li exhaled deeply.


    However, Coach Xu looked very serious, and he nced at Li and Yu. "You said you wanted to lose weight here, didn’t you? Why are you doing broadcast exercises?"
