Chapter 370 VO2max
The long-standing Qi-cultivation skills were instantly broken. Bifang's breathing suddenly became heavy, his heart began to beat violently, his chest was filled with great joy, and the expression on his face in just a few seconds almost made passers-by stare sideways.
The wild temperament of Bifang who has lived in the wilderness for a long time is significantly different from that of the comfortable city. This is caused by the high secretion of hormones due to high pressure, which is what people generally think of as masculinity. Many special forces and front-line criminal police have a similar temperament. This is also the reason why many people who have had similar experiences and are more sensitive can even feel that the other person is not simple just by looking at each other.
Such a person, blending into the city, is like a drop of red ink dropped into mortar, which is already eye-catching. At this moment, Bifang is even more conspicuous.
This guy looks so familiar.
Is it a star?
Just as passers-by noticed Bifang, they felt it looked more and more familiar and were more and more surprised.
"Hahaha, sorry, I thought of something happy." Bifang touched the back of his head, laughed, and quickly left the team. His steps actually seemed a little brisk.
Bifang turned his back and a smile almost broke out on his face. How long had it been since he had such a surprise?
It's like when you're sleepy, a pillow is delivered to you, or when you're hungry, someone delivers you a bowl of steaming hot noodles topped with spicy oil.
Comfortable!
"Oxygen Uptake Index Enhancement Voucher*1. Exchange for 4600 Wilderness Points."
"Golden coupons are different. They cost more than four thousand."
After seeing the price of the oxygen coupon, Bifang's excitement about the gold coupon subsided a little. After completing a mission, the points he could obtain were only over a thousand, and never even reached two thousand. This one gold coupon was equivalent to the amount of points for three missions.
More than 4,000 points could be considered the most expensive redemption voucher he had ever encountered. He didn't even know how much it could increase, but Bifang knew he had to get it.
Oxygen uptake.
Many people haven't even heard of this concept, but it is a golden statistic among professional athletes.
Maximum oxygen uptake is the most direct data in the field of exercise physiology to evaluate the quality of cardiopulmonary function.
It represents the amount of oxygen that the human body can take in when it is performing the most intense exercise and is unable to continue the next exercise. It is known as the golden indicator for evaluating endurance level and is one of the important selection criteria for endurance athletes.
A healthy man's maximum oxygen uptake is usually between 35-40, and a healthy woman's is 27-31. Generally, a maximum oxygen uptake value greater than 60 can achieve significant results in aerobic exercise.
The average score of the world's top male runners is a terrifying 85!
What is the international top?
They are not national team athletes. That is too much of an understatement. These people are the treasures of mankind. They represent the group of people who can compete for the world championship! They represent the peak of human physical function! Not only that, good cardiopulmonary function even means that they will live longer than ordinary people!
As for those over ninety, they can no longer be called human beings, but rather monsters.
That’s right, Bifang thinks so. In his eyes, those with a maximum oxygen uptake of over 90 are like monsters and should not be called human beings. Such people can even jog on Mount Everest!
Jogging in an area that is off-limits to humans and where oxygen is extremely scarce, at an altitude of over 8,800 meters!
Just thinking about this scene, Bi Fang's face flushed with excitement. A road he had never imagined, a scene he had never imagined, could he run on Mount Everest? No, he didn't need to run. He could just walk, step by step, and that would be his lifelong dream.
Compared to the human population, only a handful of people have climbed Mount Everest. Among them, more than 90% of them can only crawl after reaching the summit due to the extremely thin oxygen, and even standing is difficult!
If that were all, Bifang wouldn't be too excited. The most important thing is that, according to medical research, maximum aerobic capacity can only be increased by 5-25% through training, and the other 72-95% is mainly affected by genetic factors!
In other words, this is a talent! No matter how hard ordinary people train, they can never achieve it!
And the improvement through exercise also needs continuous training to maintain. If you stop training for 2 weeks, aerobic work capacity will decrease significantly; if you stop training for 4-12 weeks, cardiopulmonary function can decrease by 50%; if you stop training for half a year, cardiopulmonary function will return to the level before training.
In addition, short-term training cannot improve maximum oxygen uptake. It usually takes 10-20 weeks of training to be effective, and training at least twice a week is required to effectively improve it.
Therefore, the appearance of this gold voucher in the store made Bifang so excited. Why did he want to climb Mount Everest?
The main reason is simple, it is a dream, a vision, to use the words of New Zealand mountaineer Hillary Clinton (actually it’s Lee, but you all understand), because it is right there.
The second reason is the breakthrough in the upper limit that he is looking for. The appearance of the upgrade voucher is also a breakthrough in the upper limit. Bifang has already reached the upper limit of maximum oxygen uptake through various training and breathing methods. It is impossible to improve it normally.
Only the system can help Bifang break through the upper limit and reach the realm that predecessors have reached or even have not reached.
Four thousand six hundred points, I'll sell everything I have to give it up!
Bifang pulled down his personal panel. The points brought by the ruined city were not many, only sixteen thousand. He had never had the habit of saving points, as that would be disrespectful to every mission.
Fortunately, the system was updated a long time ago. In addition to obtaining wilderness points through tasks, they can also be produced through a certain influence and number of fans. In addition, they can also be directly exchanged for money.
Ten thousand for one point.
Apart from using it once after the update, Bifang had hardly touched this piggy bank and almost forgot about it. He quickly clicked it to take a look and added the task points to make up the difference.
"There's still one hundred and twenty left?"
Bifang was dumbfounded. If the output was not enough, he would have to convert it into money, which would be 1.2 million.
To be honest, the club's investment is like a bottomless pit, which has caused Bifang's wallet to be in a state of both rich and poor. Apart from maintaining basic expenses, there is basically not much surplus money. Moreover, every time he goes abroad, renting various vehicles is also a huge expense.
Bifang took out the deposit certificate from his pocket, speechless with tears in his eyes. The gold bars given by Husk had not even warmed up yet, but he had to hand them over. There was no other way. It would take some time to get used to using the gold vouchers, so the sooner the better. Bifang could only reluctantly choose to exchange them.
It seemed as if the sound of gold coins falling sounded in my ears, clear and crisp, making my heart bleed.
Although Bifang does not care much about money, he has the habit of saving. This is probably a mentality caused by being poor in the previous life. Every time he sees a large sum of money gone, he always feels heartbroken for a long time.
"By the way, will the points for completing tasks after reaching Everest be increased? Otherwise, if I encounter a gold ticket in the future..."
Bifang took a deep breath and suddenly felt a pain in his liver.
But when he saw the gold voucher appear in his backpack, Bifang didn't care about the heartache. He found a secluded corner in the hall and clicked adapt.
Every time he used the various enhancements provided by the system, Bifang would secretly record it with a camera, and then review it afterwards to see if there was anything different from ordinary people. It turned out that apart from feeling a little sleepy occasionally, there was no outwardly striking performance, so he was quite impatient at this moment.
In the void, the gold coupon turned into sieved powder and flew towards Bifang, merging into his body.
"Why, so sleepy?"
Bifang looked through the plants at the corner at the busy hall with hazy eyes, then slowly lowered his head.
While sleeping, Bifang had a dream. He dreamed that he came to a frozen prairie. The weather was so cold that he was almost frozen to death. But soon, a strong wind blew. It was very cold at first, but gradually, it became very warm.
The wind brought moisture and warmth. The huge ice armor cracked, and snow honey water flowed in the cracks. The long-silent road was exposed to the sun again, breathing in the fresh air to your heart's content. The green and lush grass seemed like spring water gushing out from the depths of the earth, overflowing along the undulating grassland to the horizon.
The sky is blue with white clouds. Flocks of wild geese are flying across the sky, changing their directions. I become a shepherd riding a horse alone, going wherever I want, without any restrictions.
"Mr. Bi...Mr. Bi!?"
"Well, yeah!"
Bifang suddenly woke up, and reflexively grabbed the man's wrist and flipped him behind his back. But before the man could scream, Bifang quickly let go of his hand after seeing his face clearly, and half-raised his hands.
At this moment, the security guard's pain signal seemed to have just been transmitted to his brain. He screamed in pain, attracting the attention of the few people left around.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it." Bifang half raised his hands, his face full of embarrassment and shame. He glanced around and immediately understood everything.
Compared to the crowded hall during the day, it seemed extremely empty at this moment. Any sound could echo and travel far away. Not far away, the man’s colleagues were already rushing over here.
It was obvious that he accidentally fell asleep after using the gold coupon, and slept until night. People kindly reminded him, but he never expected to be grabbed by Bifang, and he might have sprained his joints.
But there was no way. I had just returned from Yeimen, and my nerves had not yet completely relaxed. Coupled with my wild intuition, I made many movements subconsciously.
"I'm so sorry. Why don't you go to the hospital first? I'll pay for all the expenses, including lost wages and so on. I'm really sorry."
"No, it's okay, it just hurts a little." The security guard gritted his teeth in pain but kept waving his hands.
"Hey, Lao Huang, are you okay? People over there, leave him alone!"
Not far away|The man's colleague had already rushed over here. The man quickly stood up and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's a misunderstanding, I accidentally fell."
The man's colleague was a little skeptical: "Really?"
"Really! Don't worry." The man stood up a little more, took a few steps forward, showed it to his colleague, and after saying a few words, his colleague let down his guard and left.
The man turned around and looked at Bifang again. Bifang felt even more embarrassed. He didn't expect that he had injured the other person's arm, and the other person still covered for him. He felt really bad. However, the other person's attitude made Bifang guess: "You... know me?"
The man moved his shoulders and twitched his mouth in pain, but he still laughed: "Yes, I have watched your live broadcast, Master Fang!"
Bifang felt even more embarrassed. He didn't expect the other party to just wave his hand and said, "It's okay. I understand. You just came back from Yeyimen. It's normal to be nervous. It's also my fault that I can't get close to you. I always thought Cao Mengde's "I like to kill people in my dreams" was fake. I didn't expect to see it today."
As soon as the joke started, the tense atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Bifang also breathed a sigh of relief. Paying compensation and apologizing were trivial matters. He had done something wrong in the first place. What he was worried about was that the other party would be unreasonable and would hold him back. Now every day was precious and could not be wasted. After delivering the gifts today, he would officially set off tomorrow.
"It's all my fault. Go to the hospital right away. I'll pay for it."
"Oh, there's no need. You're quick to let go. I've practiced that too. You see, it's nothing serious now. At worst, I can just put on a plaster at night." Huang Tianming waved his hands repeatedly, moving his shoulders and turning in circles to indicate that he was fine, and at the same time gave Bifang a thumbs up.
"God Fang, I watched the live broadcast a few days ago. He is such a tough guy. He really made the Chinese proud. Those beasts are so cowardly. They do all kinds of evil things. And who says that only foreigners dare to take risks and fight? It's either a river monster or a rainforest adventure. We don't have any such programs. We can only let those sissies dance and sing. Facts have proved that we Chinese are just as good, and we can do better and more awesome than them! What's the point of editing? It's all fake. Live broadcasting is the most awesome. Who dares to say it's fake? It's a pity that I don't have much ability and money. I can't help much. It's just a twist. What's the big deal? Don't worry."
Huang Tianming comforted Bifang instead and patted him on the shoulder.
"This..." Bifang still felt a little guilty.
"It's okay, it's okay. If you really feel bad about it, why don't you tell me where you plan to go next time? When will the show start?"
When talking about this, Huang Tianming's eyes lit up.
He is really a fan of Bifang, and unless he is busy with work, he will follow almost every episode. He feels so sincerely. Although there is a screen between them, it is so damn cool to watch Bifang surviving and exploring in various dangerous places abroad. It is much better than the movie!
Especially after Jarrett's survival show was broadcast, Fang Shen's strength and fearlessness, as well as his superb professional skills, became even more apparent. He is truly the number one man in the wilderness!
So proud!
It's really an honor!
"For the next issue, we are indeed prepared."
"Hey, tell me, tell me. If you don't tell me, I really can't let you go."
Bifang looked around, lowered his head and whispered: "I want to climb Mount Everest!"
"Hush! Mount Everest? Oh my god!"
Bifang scratched his head and looked at the passers-by who had finally left and gathered together again, feeling quite speechless.
Why is everyone reacting so strongly?
I haven’t even started climbing yet!
