After everything was taken care of, he was given his exclusive VIP wristband.
"Mr. Lin, the VIP changing rooms are over there. You need to book a personal trainer a day in advance, so for today, I’m afraid..."
"Not necessary."
Lin Shen cut Manager Yang off and stood up to head to the VIP changing room.
Spacious lounges and shower rooms were provided for each mber, ensuring good privacy.
After taking off his clothes and changing into his swimwear, Lin Shen suddenly discovered a very awkward problem.
He couldn’t hide his ’package’!
Professional-grade, triangular racing briefs, designed to reduce drag, certainly didn’t co with any ’modesty’ features.
This, naturally, made Lin Shen a bit self-conscious.
’Can I really go out in this?’
Lin Shen stood before the full-length mirror, quietly admiring his own well-built, sculpted chest and abs, as well as the clearly defined bulge.
Finally, with a soft sigh, he walked out of the changing room.
Fortunately, the vast swimming pool, with its dozen or so lanes, felt incredibly spacious. The champion training area, in particular, had only a few people.
After walking over with his VIP wristband on, Lin Shen stood by the edge of the pool and began to warm up.
Arm circles, neck rotations.
Loosening his joints, activating his muscles.
Because Lin Shen had taken the Heart and Lung Vitality Potion and used the Vitality Body Milk beforehand, the fatigue from his passionate night with Jiang Wan had completely vanished. His body was in peak condition.
"HUUUU—!"
Once he was more or less ward up, Lin Shen let out a long breath and pulled up his personal status panel.
[Constitution: 89/90]
[Spirit: 84/85]
[Kidney Power: 90/91]
[Charm: 89]
[Height: 182.5cm; Weight: 81kg]
After confirming everything was in order, Lin Shen got into the water and swam a few laps to test it out.
Acclimating to the water temperature, familiarizing himself with the movents.
Once he was fully ready, Lin Shen put on his goggles, took a deep breath, and dove headfirst into the water.
The breaststroke might not be the fastest style, but he had stamina to spare!
His well-developed leg muscles and coordination made Lin Shen feel like a fish in water; he was remarkably proficient even though it had been a long ti since he’d last swum.
’What I lack in technique, I make up for with raw power.’
A Constitution of 90 was no joke.
For the first five round trips in the fifty-ter lane, Lin Shen didn’t feel the slightest bit of fatigue. The swimming felt effortless.
However, the next five round trips were more of a challenge.
Lin Shen’s breathing rate quickened, and his kicks slowed down sowhat.
But fortunately, he gritted his teeth and pushed through, completing the ten round trips for a total of one thousand ters.
His final ti stopped at 14 minutes and 46 seconds.
’That was close!’
Lin Shen let out a long sigh of relief internally. He hoisted himself up on the edge of the pool with both hands and took out his phone.
’I almost didn’t make it!’
[Challenge Mission: Please complete a one-thousand-ter swim in under 15 minutes (Completed).]
[Reward: Sports Health lv.13→lv.14]
[Athletic Effect Increased: 180%→190%]
[Reward Item: Bone Density Calcium Tablets*1]
[Challenge Mission: Please complete a half-marathon in under 100 minutes.]
’A hundred minutes?’
’A half-marathon?’
Lin Shen sat on the edge of the pool, looking with astonishnt at the new challenge mission from Sports Health.
You have to understand, the standard distance for a half-marathon is about 21 kiloters.
To finish it in under one hundred minutes, your pace would have to be under 5 minutes per kiloter.
That speed was approaching the level of a Level 2 national athlete.
’And you want ** to attempt that?’
Lin Shen clicked his tongue twice, but his competitive spirit was piqued.
’Maybe I could give it a shot!’
’When a nearby city hosts a marathon, I could sign up and try it out.’
Lin Shen pondered for a mont, then tapped on the Bone Density Calcium Tablets.
[Effect: Increases bone density, slows bone aging, reduces the incidence of fractures, hairline cracks, and other injuries, and increases blood calcium levels.]
’It’s just what I thought!’
Just from the na, Lin Shen knew what this item did.
Unlike the Bone-Enhancing Calcium Tablets, its main function was to increase bone hardness.
’This is pretty crucial for overall health.’
Just as Lin Shen was quietly studying the new item, a gentle voice suddenly inquired by his ear.
"Hello, handso. Excuse , are you the personal trainer I booked for today?"
’Personal trainer?’
Lin Shen looked up and saw that the person who had approached him was a beautiful, mature woman with a great figure.
She looked to be in her thirties and was wearing a wine-red one-piece swimsuit.
Full hips, a slim waist, and beautifully curved, firm leg muscles—it was clear at a glance that she was a regular swimr.
Her skin was also quite fair, and her well-maintained face held a mature, alluring smile.
And her facial features were very distinctive.
She had full, thick lips and eyes that were drawn out at the corners, yet her face was relatively round.
She had the vibe of one of those "educational teachers" from over in Neon—what’s known as an "airplane face."
Without needing to do much, just a few glances and micro-expressions were enough to make a man’s heart race uncontrollably, filling the air with sexual tension.
This, at least, earned her a decent impression score from Lin Shen.
It was just that her pick-up line was too crude, which couldn’t help but remind him of Aria, who was far away in Germany.
Back when Lin Shen was running, she had also approached him proactively.
Now he was getting hit on while swimming.
’I guess handso guys really have it easy in this world...’
Lin Shen grumbled to himself, his expression apologetic.
"Sorry, I’m not a trainer. You’ve got the wrong person."
"You’re not a trainer?"
The beautiful, mature woman seed quite surprised.
"I just saw you swim quite a few laps in the pool. It must have been at least a thousand ters, right?"
"Yeah."
"Would it be rude to ask how long it took you?"
"15."
’A thousand ters in 15 minutes?’
That pace left the beautiful, mature woman completely stunned. Then, she exclaid in amazent.
"That’s incredible! You’re almost at the level of a professional coach, aren’t you? I don’t suppose you’d be willing to teach a little?"
