Chapter 8: Seeking Help

This matter proves one point: a hand speed of 11 times is not the limit. He has now generally deduced that in order to achieve a folded fan-shaped drift, at least a hand speed of 12 times is required

After thinking it over repeatedly for a while, Yuan Ye reached out and took out the crystal card. After all, asking wouldn't cost him his life. At worst, the other party wouldn't remember and would give him a scolding. What was so great about that? When he was wandering around, how many times had he been scolded by others?

The intervention of the elbow, although it did not yield immediate results, is already much better compared to the previous feeling of helplessness. He believes that as long as he further enhances his physical coordination and breaks through to a hand speed of 12 times per second, it will be just around the corner

Improved speed of hand movements signifies an increase in work efficiency, and an increase in work efficiency means that one can earn more money. This is the most straightforward thought behind Yuan Ye's practice of enhancing his hand speed

Oh. Yuan Ye replied reluctantly.

Yuan Ye casually scratched his disheveled hair. The relentless practice over the past few days had left him with no other concerns, so he appeared even more unkempt than before. At a glance, he now resembled a beggar.

After relentless practice day and night, Yuan Ye's hand speed has improved to 11 times per second

"It's so late to be looking for me, is there something you need?" Zhang Zinan asked straightforwardly.

Yuan Ye began to think hard about this issue. Previously, during the transition from 9 to 10, he encountered a similar problem. However, after intense training, his speed improved significantly, and he leaped to 11.

From the sound of the cough, Zhang Zinan seemed to guess what Yuan Ye was thinking, and thus said with a smile: "You don't need to be too disheartened. I think when you were that age, your typing speed was probably less than 10. Typing speed relies on one thing: practice. If you are diligent, there is no number you cannot reach."

After listening, Yuan Ye couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed, realizing that he had not timed his communication request well.

"So do you know how to improve hand speed?" Yuan Ye asked tentatively

Finally, on the seventh ring, the call was connected

So it is like this. After carefully recalling the previous training, Yuan Ye finally became certain that his problem was a lack of overall coordination ability.

That crystal card was indeed Zhang Zinan's business card. After sending Zhang Zinan to the air force base, he casually tossed it aside. He was well aware of the other party's identity and how it was impossible for them to have a close relationship. Therefore, since then, he had no intention of maintaining any contact with Zhang Zinan.

Yuan Ye thought to himself as he glanced at the contact number on the card—AY66668888. The number was strikingly eye-catching. Taking a deep breath, he tried to maintain a calm state of mind. However, as he dialed, he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous and apprehensive, much like a young man in the throes of infatuation sending a call request to his dream lover.

It can barely reach a little over 20, but if fully utilized, it could reach 25," Zhang Zinan said somewhat shyly, his tone suggesting that this number was somewhat embarrassing.

Hearing Zhang Zinan say this, Yuan Ye also realized that Zhang Zinan's hand speed was not very fast

Bang

But now he is somewhat hesitant, as he finds himself in a predicament. The other party is an outstanding pilot, and surely the opponent must have unique insights regarding speed.

"Feeling? Feeling is clearly the sense that one could go faster, yet the body just cannot muster that energy. Often, one has already thought it through and is prepared, but the hands simply cannot keep up." Yuan Ye described his inner confusion in this way

By the way, I believe I have mentioned this to you before: regardless of what you are driving, the best state of your body is to be taut yet not stiff, relaxed yet not slack. Zhang Zinan kindly reminded.

Although his hand speed has not yet met the requirements for repairing the "watermelon slice," the benefits it has brought him are evident. Nowadays, his efficiency in repairing motorcycles is at least two times higher than usual. Moreover, the hand-eye coordination and accuracy gained from the throwing technique have greatly benefited him. This is particularly reflected in the repair of lower components, where his hands are much steadier than before, and his ability to gauge dimensions has also improved compared to the past.

The occurrence of stalling is quite common when improving one's speed, so there is no need to feel too discouraged; the key is to identify the cause. Zhang Zinan comforted Yuan Ye, saying: "Go ahead and share your feelings during practice."

Yes?

Since the limit has not been reached, what exactly is the reason for the stagnation of one's hand speed?

Unintentionally, Yuan Ye's gaze fell upon a crystal card, which was carelessly discarded among a pile of clutter, with only one corner exposed.

Thus, two weeks have swiftly passed

The communicator kept ringing, and Yuan Ye was so anxious that he was almost suffocating

Three days have passed, and there are no signs of improvement in his hand speed, as if this is his limit and the end of his journey. However, he does not accept the notion of a limit, because he had previously attempted a folded fan drift, and as he approached 180 degrees, the magnetic car lost control once again. Fortunately, he had made all the necessary preparations and quickly adjusted.

In just over ten minutes, a schedule for the future was posted on the wall. Aside from the daily tasks remaining unchanged, the vast majority of time was devoted to training hand speed. After all, in order to improve one's circumstances and quickly achieve personal aspirations, hand speed became the first stepping stone

The contact on the other end seemed to fall into deep thought, and at that moment, Yuan Ye faintly heard: "Dear, please wait a moment for me, muah..." Then came the sound of footsteps, clearly indicating that Zhang Zinan had already gotten out of bed

"Start with the elbows, then the shoulders, and then the whole body." Yuan Ye carefully repeated the words that Zhang Zinan had once told him, and then began to sit cross-legged on the ground, resting one hand on his chin, immersed in deep contemplation.

"Oh, it's you." From the tone, it was evident that Zhang Zinan had thought of Yuan Ye, and his demeanor had become considerably friendlier, which made Yuan Ye feel somewhat relieved

Cough, cough! Yuan Ye coughed twice, and now these numbers were far beyond his expectations. At this moment, he realized how inadequate his speed was; while others effortlessly reported 25, he was still struggling to get from 11 to 12, not even reaching half of what they achieved.

What exactly went wrong

It is no wonder that Yuan Ye's accumulation of knowledge is limited. The only systematic learning he received was before his mother's death. During his time as a drifter, he had no opportunity to study. After achieving a stable life, he was busy with work every day. Although he occasionally learned, the time available was also quite limited. Therefore, Yuan Ye's current level of knowledge, aside from what he knows about magnetic vehicles, barely allows him to be literate and to understand some basic scientific concepts.

The collaboration of the elbows, shoulders, and the entire body? Upon hearing this from Zhang Zinan, Yuan Ye seemed to have an epiphany. Upon careful reflection, he realized that this was likely the root of his own issues.

The methods for training hand speed mainly involve the traditional tossing technique. Zhang Zinan originally introduced him to several methods for improving hand speed, but all of those methods required expensive equipment. For instruments that cost tens or even hundreds of thousands, Yuan Ye didn't even consider them and simply passed.

Well, I understand. Identifying the source of the problem naturally improved Yuan Ye's mood significantly, so he curiously asked, "I wonder what Brother Zhang's hand speed is?"

That... um... I... I am the person who sent you to the military base last time, the one driving the old car

Turning off the communicator, Yuan Ye decided not to think about the distant number 25 anymore. After all, who was Zhang Zinan, and who was he? He was very clear about this. What he needed to consider at that moment was Zhang Zinan's earlier words: full-body cooperation

Logically, such an improvement should be a source of great joy for Yuan Ye; however, he is currently furrowing his brows, propping himself up with one hand on his worn desk, as if he is desperately pondering something.

Zhang Zinan clearly felt a bit embarrassed: "In fact, among pilots, my hand speed is quite average, but my strength lies in operational accuracy"

Of course, this was known... Subsequently, Zhang Zinan threw out a large number of air force terminologies, instantly leaving Yuan Ye bewildered.

Indeed, when it comes to training with books, people often fall into a misconception that simply training the hands is sufficient. This is a fundamentally erroneous understanding. It is important to recognize that the hands are merely a part of your body; only through the coordinated effort of all the muscles and nerves in your body can your hands realize their full potential

"Who is it?" It was Zhang Zinan's voice, though it sounded rather unfriendly. Meanwhile, a delicate female voice could be faintly heard from the communicator: "Darling, it's so late, who is it?"

Beep... Beep...

After a brief chat with Zhang Zinan, Yuan Ye finally interrupted the conversation, clearly indicating that Zhang Zinan was quite a talkative person

At that moment, Yuan Ye was at a loss for words and could only say cautiously: "I encountered a small issue, but it's not really a big problem. It's just regarding hand speed. As a pilot, you should understand this well, right?"

In fact, it is not as complicated as you say. I just want to ask you, my hand speed is stuck at 11 times per second. I have tried many methods before, but I still cannot improve. I want to ask you, what is going on?

Of course, hand speed is an important criterion for evaluating pilots, Zhang Zinan replied cheerfully

This issue... Zhang Zinan paused slightly, as if in thought: "There are many situations where this phenomenon occurs. The most common is that practitioners focus on the coordination between the wrists and fingers, thereby neglecting the collaboration of the elbows, shoulders, and even the entire body."

After approximately two hours, Yuan Ye slowly rose, his expression very calm. He approached the table, took out a blank sheet of paper, and began to write on it in a crooked manner. His handwriting was not particularly beautiful, but it was evident that he had put thought into it.
