Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 7 Finding New Targets
The two of them got into the car one after another, and Chen Ran suddenly remembered that his deskmate seemed to live near his home, otherwise he would not have met him in the morning.

When I was in junior high school, going to school depended on my household registration.

The years before and after Chen Ran was born were also the peak period for the newborn population.

In any school district area, there are densely packed residential buildings, lined up row after row.

These residential buildings are located on both sides of the streets, rarely matched with residential areas, and are densely populated.

In a junior high school class, it is normal for more than a dozen people to live in the same area.

"I saw her." Chen Ran found his deskmate Zhou Jing sitting quietly in a corner, looking out the window in a daze.

He withdrew his gaze, found a seat and sat down. Regardless of the chatter of the guy next to him, he cast his gaze out the window.

It had been a day since he was reborn, and it was the first time that Chen Ran calmly observed his hometown more than 20 years ago.

Dongzhou City is a small city with a very slow pace of life. After get off work, migrant workers ride bicycles in twos and threes on the streets. At dusk, charming light and shadow shine through the glass and into the bus.

In this era, there are very few private cars on the street, and there are more taxis. Occasionally, some cars pass by, most of which are company buses.

Chen Ran looked at the scenery with interest along the way. Some of the buildings no longer exist 20 years later, so it felt unreal to see them again.

In 2002, wages were very low, prices were not high, and houses were not expensive. Most people rode bicycles to work. Coupled with the successful bid for the Olympics and the national football team's historic entry into the World Cup, people were full of expectations for their future lives.

They all believe that tomorrow will be better.

Hu Jie felt that he was tired and couldn't help but stretch his waist. Looking at the quiet Chen Ran, he felt inexplicably that this good friend seemed to have many stories.

……

It's still the same street, still the same residential building, even the broken street lights haven't changed.

Chen Ran stood in a daze at the door of his house for a while, and was about to knock on the door when the door suddenly opened.

Her mother, Zhu Huijuan, hurried out with her bag and saw her son standing at the door.

She just glanced at Chen Ran and shouted: "Son, the food is cooked, go and eat by yourself."

Then, Ms. Zhu Huijuan hurried down the stairs without looking back, and quickly disappeared from her sight.

The only explanation for why his mother was in such a hurry was playing mahjong.

At this time, his father Chen Weiguo also walked out slowly and said: "Son, study hard. If you are admitted to Dongzhou Middle School, your parents will take you to travel to the magical city."

God, the earth.

Chen Ran then remembered that he had never been to the Magic City before high school.

As for his father, he slowly walked down the stairs, apparently going to meet his poker friends again.

A familiar recipe, a familiar taste.

Chen Ran couldn't help but touch his nose, showing a wry smile.

He originally thought that meeting his parents, who were more than 20 years younger than him, would be a sad scene. He had been extremely worried just now, but he never expected that this would be the result.

My parents don't have any ambitions. They have a stable job and live day by day.

One of them likes to play mahjong and the other likes to play cards, and they usually don’t have much savings.

It wasn't until one day that Chen Ran was going to buy a wedding house and his parents had to ask relatives to borrow money that they started to plan to save money.

But from Chen Ran's point of view, his parents have their own lives and he is an adult. It is enough that they are willing to help him, and he really can't ask for too much. "Come on, I'm alone again tonight!" In fact, Chen Ran had been accustomed to this for the first half of his life.

He ate dinner in a hurry, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and then went into his study.

Chen Ran looked at this small house of just over 50 square meters and felt that he should buy a larger house for his parents.

It's a pity that I missed the windfall that was supposed to come to me, otherwise I could have bought a bigger house right away.

Now I can only force my parents to live in this old residential building for a while longer.

However, Chen Ran felt that his parents were happy to live here, after all, their mahjong partners and poker friends lived nearby.

business matters!

His parents are not at home, so he doesn't even have to pretend to study and can train to his heart's content.

During the day in class, Chen Ran was unable to train his body. He had to seize the time at night and perform targeted exercises, such as push-ups, planks, leg lifts, jumping, balancing, etc.

There are also a few dumbbells at home, which Chen Ran bought before, and they are also used for training.

He practiced non-stop for more than an hour and found that except for some slight panting, his body did not feel very tired. He was happy, which meant that he could continue to increase the amount of training.

However, Chen Ran was not in a hurry, but silently opened the attribute panel and found that his physical attributes had improved a bit, reaching 76, and there were still 12 points of potential left to be explored.

He sat on the edge of the bed, lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

With his current physical condition, he is enough to cope with these domestic competitions between amateurs and professionals. The top priority is to improve his technical attributes.

Of course, physical exercise cannot be neglected, but it can be controlled to between an hour and an hour and a half every day.

Chen Ran is only 16 years old and is still in the stage of growing up. Excessive training is too heavy on the body and may do more harm than good.

So how to quickly improve your technical attributes?

Chen Ran's current technical attribute is 55, and his potential value is 13. The system has also told him that when his potential value is only ten points, it will be extremely difficult to improve every point.

Because this stage is the bottleneck.

Most athletes in this world train very hard, but due to various factors such as training level, competition environment, coaching resources, and injuries, most people are unable to realize their talents.

To be precise, if an athlete's ultimate technical attribute is 90, if he can train himself to 85, he will be able to realize his talent.

He pondered the characteristics of this system. The so-called "luck balance system" is to convert the prophetic information about his future into potential value.

As a reborn person with complete memories, the information in his head is the king of this era.

Chen Ran's heart suddenly moved, and he seemed to have thought of something. He couldn't help but ask: "If I use my current extreme attribute indicators and exchange them with the wealth of this World Cup lottery, how much potential value can be increased?"

The prompt given by the system is that the average potential value of each item can be increased by five points, while before, the potential value of each item increased by eight points.

This means that when your basic attributes are higher, the potential value exchanged for the same prophet information will be reduced accordingly.

"We have to find a new target!" Chen Ran muttered in his heart.

He walked to the balcony of his home and looked up, while trying to remember something in his head.
