Chapter 9 Exercises

Regarding training for the elbow, Yuan Ye thought of a simple method. However, in his view, this method is very practical: to fix the wrist and fingers, relying solely on the movement of the elbow to strike a metal bucket

Soon, a voluptuous and beautiful female instructor appeared on the small screen, standing straight in a fitted blue military uniform in a modest little square hall

Such changes brought great joy to Yuan Ye, and his hand speed seemed to naturally reach 12 times per second.

At mealtime, the employees did not chat and laugh as usual, but instead ate in silence. The boss's health was poor, and everyone's mood consequently fell.

Progress is still at the stage of a turtle's crawl, yet Yuan Ye has not given up. For him, the two great treasures of success are relentless pondering and diligent practice

Yuan Ye was very perceptive, quickly preparing a cup of tea for the boss and gently placing the teacup in front of him

How is it? Have all the parts of the magnetic car been repaired? the boss asked softly

The first item, leg ligament stretching method... The female officer meticulously explained the leg ligament stretching method while her body was already squatting on the ground, hands gripping her ankles, and her legs standing straight with ease, appearing very relaxed: "When you first start this training, it can be a bit painful, but it gets much better once you adapt. Generally, as long as you can keep your legs straight and your entire palms can touch the ground, it is considered qualified..." It appears very relaxed: "When you first start this training, it can be a bit painful, but it gets much better once you adapt. Generally, as long as you can keep your legs straight and your entire palms can touch the ground, it is considered qualified..."

Just now, I saw you repair a magnetic vehicle in just one morning. It seems that in the few days I haven't seen you, your work efficiency has improved significantly, the boss said with a smile, and the tone of his voice clearly conveyed his appreciation.

Recently, the owner of the repair shop has been coming to the workshop less frequently, and each time he visits, he merely brings some food for everyone before hurriedly leaving. Moreover, judging by his complexion, he appears to be extremely haggard; his originally fair and translucent round face now shows signs of becoming somewhat gaunt.

What else? Yuan Ye was somewhat puzzled; he did not know what else he could do besides the magnetic vehicle

Well, let's first focus on completing the first five actions before discussing further. Yuan Ye is quite open-minded; it seems that this task cannot be accomplished overnight.

This is the life attitude he has always upheld

In other words, the speed of one's hands is not solely determined by the hands themselves, but rather by the overall level of the entire body.

The boss is ill

It has been more than three years, "Yuan Ye answered honestly.

Seeing Yuan Ye's confusion, the boss did not keep him in suspense and casually took out an envelope from his pocket: "Recently, a seminar on magnetic helicopters was held in Ayash City, where there were many explanations regarding the repair of magnetic helicopters. Inside is a pass; if you have time, you can go and listen.

This has caused some concern among the employees. Usually, the boss treats them well, not only ensuring that their wages are never delayed, but also increasing their pay each time. Occasionally, he even spends his own money to improve their meals. A minor tardiness is often overlooked, with Yuan Ye being the best example.

From this point on, Yuan Ye's life included an additional practice, which was the first five movements of this basic military exercise.

Hmm. After hearing this, the boss slightly nodded and said, "That is a good thing; I hope you can persist in practicing it. Ahem!" As he spoke, the boss couldn't help but cough heavily twice.

As he slowly closed his eyes, mysterious patterns began to emerge in Yuan Ye's mind, reminiscent of the pendant's design.

However, Yuan Ye has never had the habit of giving up halfway. Gritting his teeth and pulling with all his might: "Uh!" The sharp pain from the thigh ligament made him involuntarily cry out.

Yuan Ye opened the file using his communicator. His communicator was not particularly advanced, and the small images projected in the void were still in black and white. However, this did not hinder his ability to learn from the content.

The disparity between the two is evident when considering income alone

However, at this moment, Yuan Ye received an unexpected surprise. Zhang Zinan sent him a specialized basic military gymnastics routine through the communicator. This military gymnastics, also known as body stretching training, was accompanied by a note from Zhang Zinan in the document. He mentioned that although this routine cannot enhance the body's coordination, it is a prerequisite for increasing physical coordination. It is akin to the principle that in order to learn how to run, one must first learn how to walk.

Yuan Ye expressed deep gratitude for Zhang Zinan's assistance. After all, describing their relationship as a chance encounter would not be an exaggeration. The fact that the other party was able to help him selflessly was something he cherished even more, especially given his experiences with the vicissitudes of human relationships.

Faced with the compliment, Yuan Ye was at a loss for words, so he simply recounted to his boss the practice he had been doing recently regarding his hand speed and military exercises.

Oh. Yuan Ye responded, putting down the lunchbox in his hand, and stood obediently beside the boss

Yuan Ye pondered for a moment and nodded: "Almost all of it can be repaired"

The basic military gymnastics is divided into ten items, which can stretch various parts of the body. In the small screen, the female officer spoke in a very approachable manner

It seems that the pain described by that female officer is indeed genuine. Yuan Ye maintained this posture, thinking to himself that the expression of pain on his face was almost a reflection of his features being twisted together. Soon after, beads of sweat began to roll down from the tip of his nose, not from exhaustion, but from the intensity of the pain.

On this day at noon, the owner of the repair shop appeared once again at the workshop, carrying various sizes of lunch boxes, and his complexion still did not look very good

The slow bird takes flight early, and the way of heaven rewards diligence

This training lasted for two days, yielding some results, though not very significant. Yuan Ye observed that the speed of the elbow had increased somewhat, but the coordination with the wrist and fingers appeared to be lacking.

Carefully putting away the envelope and exchanging a few pleasantries with the boss, Yuan Ye then devoted his full attention to the afternoon's work

"Would you like to learn something else?" The boss said, turning his head to look at Yuan Ye. Although his pupils appeared somewhat murky, his gaze conveyed an incredibly clear feeling

As the sun set in the west, Yuan Ye returned home after completing a day's work

Ah Ye. The boss's voice was not loud, but it sounded particularly clear in the quiet room

However, the subsequent movements left Yuan Ye somewhat speechless. Such actions were beyond his current capabilities. For instance, bringing both hands together, keeping the elbows straight, and then making large circular motions with both arms in front and behind the body; this movement tests the flexibility of the shoulders.

After approximately five minutes, Yuan Ye's thighs began to feel somewhat numb. However, when he stood up, he found that his legs felt much lighter than before. The immediate and evident effects of this practice excited Yuan Ye for quite some time

Originally, Yuan Ye intended to increase his hand speed to 13 before proceeding with the repairs, as this would be safer. However, considering the time, the one-month deadline was approaching quickly, and there was no longer enough time to raise his hand speed to 13.

By that time, Yuan Ye should be able to barely repair that "watermelon slice" and also create a folded fan-shaped drift

It was indeed when he tried to do it himself that he found it was not as easy as he had imagined. His bent thigh had barely straightened when he felt as if his ligaments had shortened by a segment, and with a pull, he experienced excruciating pain

This feeling, in Yuan Ye's view, was truly intoxicating. At the same time, he finally realized just how stiff his body was. Now he also understood Zhang Zinan's words: training the body's coordination with such a rigid physique would undoubtedly yield minimal results for maximum effort.

Seeing the female officer accomplish it so effortlessly, the somewhat foolish Yuan Ye also felt a surge of eagerness and began to learn with a semblance of seriousness.

Yuan Ye stared blankly, filled with both curiosity and anticipation

Upon receiving the envelope, Yuan Ye's emotions were truly mixed. He was well aware that his boss had the intention to give him a push. This could be inferred from the ticket set. Here, Yuan Ye worked eight hours a day, earning only about seven to eight thousand Star Dollars a month. In contrast, if he were a repair technician for magnetic helicopters, he would only need to work intermittently for four hours a day, with an income reaching around ten to twenty thousand Star Dollars.

Certainly, this behavior cannot be compared to playing the drums, as when Yuan Ye strikes, there is absolutely no rhythm; it is merely a pursuit of speed, that is, frequency

At this moment, he focused his gaze on the "watermelon slice". Currently, his hand and the book speed is 12. Although it is still a little short of 12.5, Yuan Ye believes that as long as he exerts his utmost effort, coupled with the assistance of the mysterious birthmark, completing it should not be a problem.

How many years have you been at the repair shop? After sipping a few mouthfuls of tea and with the coughing subsiding, the boss asked again

In one breath, Yuan Ye completed five actions. Although they cannot be considered standard or qualified, he managed to sit down, albeit with some difficulty.

For example, spreading the legs apart to form a straight line, this movement thoroughly tests the overall flexibility of the lower body. Yuan Ye has also given this movement an alternative name, called the "great split"

After completing the first five tasks, Yuan Ye's most profound feeling was a distinctly light and buoyant sensation. This feeling was akin to suddenly having all the ropes that had been tied around him loosened completely.

Initially, Yuan Ye believed that having fast hands was all that mattered. However, after truly dedicating himself to research and progress, he realized that he was indeed a frog at the bottom of a well. He has now fully recognized that hand speed is actually the result of the entire body's coordination, where every nerve and every muscle's change can potentially affect hand speed

At this moment, Yuan Ye truly realized that some seemingly inconspicuous things actually contain many deeper layers, just like the speed of one's hands.

With the continuous repetition of practice every day, the most significant change for Yuan Ye is that after his stiff body has been stretched, his flexibility has improved noticeably compared to before, and his body feels much lighter than it used to. Now, when he bends down to pick something up, he hardly needs to bend his legs at all

The lunch box was placed on a square table. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the staff, the owner of the repair shop took his usual seat, gazing at the scenery on the street, as quietly as ever
