Chapter 211: The Harvest

Chapter 211

After returning to the dormitory, Xiao Qi continued to go downstairs to run.

After completing 30,000 steps for today, she added another 2,000 steps.

She has been consciously increasing her running distance recently, while also training her sprinting explosive power, trying to see if she can reserve her strength in the last one or two laps and utilize her sprinting explosive power.

It was difficult at first, because after running tens of thousands of steps, her whole body was already in an extremely fatigued state. Although she didn't feel like a dead dog wheezing anymore, it was still an extremely limited state. Sprinting again and becoming completely limp after sprinting, she hated not being able to lie right on the playground.

If she had accelerated from the beginning, she could have run very fast, but she would have had no strength left afterwards, because long distance running relies heavily on breathing state. By utilizing sprinting explosive power from the start, it was like her body was overdrawn all at once, and she wouldn't have been able to persist for long afterwards.

So recently Xiao Qi has been learning to use this sprinting explosive power buff skill.

After multiple running trials and learning trials, Xiao Qi could basically understand that skill buffs don't appear out of thin air, but are already inherently present in her own body. Having the buff is the state of maximum arousal of her body's potential, not endless exertion, so the most critical thing is still to improve her own body's basic state.

There was still half a month before the marathon competition began. Xiao Qi felt that this period of time should be enough to practice.

After running, she rushed back to the dormitory and took a final shower before lights out.

She even used Yunshu's Dyson hair dryer to dry her hair.

Not drying hair before bed makes it hard to dry and easy to catch a cold. Yunshu's hair dryer was the most powerful, drying hair with just a quick blow.

When lights out came, everyone turned on their emergency lights and lay back on their beds. Xiao Qi was more tired today and didn't continue studying, lying down instead.

But no one else in the dormitory was in a studying mood tonight either.

Mi'er started gossiping, "That girl across actually went to evening self-study in class tonight. I heard her roommate even bought dinner for her." Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

Gu Yunshu certainly did not lack pocket money. She had a supplementary card from her mother, a Baifuzhang Prestige black card from CMB, with a very high limit that she could basically swipe freely.

The pocket money her dad's secretary sent her every month was a lot too, but if she took out tens of thousands for a donation all at once, her parents would probably ask her all sorts of questions, worried what she could have spent it all on.

Plus, she remembered her family participated in charitable foundations and such, but that was different from Xiao Qi's unconditional donation, also involving corporate tax deductions and publicity. At this time she rather admired Xiao Qi for the simplicity and directness.

Lying in bed, Wei Cheng sighed, "How nice!"

Not sure what about, she didn't have that much money herself and was definitely in the poorer class in Enhua. But she definitely would not want to accept other's donations either. Still, she felt what Xiao Qi did was very commendable.

In her heart, Mi'er felt her deskmate's actions were a bit silly. There are too many scammers in this world nowadays, not enough honest fools. But she also felt this was the exact reason she had taken a liking at first sight to her deskmate.

Although she thought it silly, having such a silly and simple friend by her side also gave her a sense of security.

Xiao Qi herself actually felt somewhat uneasy. She had initially only wanted to complete the task, but was receiving so much praise, feeling that this society, group, and class, though not without its unpleasantness and rumors, is largely positive and upward-directed, liking kindness and detesting falsity.

Xiao Qi became even more resolved inwardly: to study diligently, strive to improve herself, and truly become someone useful to society.

The emergency lights in the dormitory were extinguished one by one, conversation tapered off and disappeared.

The street lights still shone outside the window.

The stars bright and clear.

Occasionally the soft chirping of crickets.

Xiao Qi's breathing evened out as she entered dreamland, a faint smile still on her face - probably sweet dreams.
