Lifting barbells was too dangerous, he was too young, his family was strict, and no one would sell him a barbell anyway.
As for smashing the TV.
Well, he didn’t dare—his mom was too fierce, and the TV wasn’t like his dad’s OO, where it didn’t matter if it got broken.
By chance, one day he went running by the school lake. Because he really had to pee and the restroom in the teaching building was too far, he had no choice but to run to the lakeside to relieve himself.
What he didn’t expect was that this time, peeing into the wind by the lake actually made his strength attribute move!
He had no idea what peeing against the wind had to do with training strength, but anyway, his strength attribute really did move!
Later, when his strength attribute increased from 10 to 20, he could already stand with his hands on his hips, laughing out loud, and pee into the strong wind without even needing to hold it!
Yeah, not even holding it—what a wild, exhilarating feeling!
The only thing that made him a little embarrassed was—
At that time, there was always a female classmate reading by the little stone table near the lake.
But honestly, the embarrassment was only at the beginning.
Later, if he really felt embarrassed, he wouldn’t have done things like standing with his hands on his hips, laughing out loud, and peeing into the wind without holding it.
If he wasn’t truly proud, would he act so brazenly?
At that time, he even seemed to say to the girl next to him: “Emily Carter, do you think my OO is mighty? Do you think my OO is strong?”
Back then, he loved watching Romance of the Three Kingdoms with his dad, and “mighty and strong” was something Zhou Yu said to Jiang Gan. After saying it, Zhou Yu and Jiang Gan even shared a bed.
But after he said it to Emily Carter, there was no way Emily Carter would share a bed with him.
A roll of the eyes, a look of shy anger, throwing her book—she hit him with the classic “angry little loli triple combo.”
As the school’s most popular artsy little loli, when had anyone ever done something so weird and crude to her!
But what puzzled Yes was that afterward, Emily Carter didn’t tell the teacher, and would even sit nearby reading while he trained his strength. Well, probably reading, right?
Maybe it was just that he’d always been the school weirdo?
And that’s also why he was always so frustrated about finding training methods.
Sometimes, these methods really were unscientific!
Also, don’t get the wrong idea—while training methods were hard to find, they weren’t the only way.
The right training method wasn’t the only one!
He’d tried many ways to improve his endurance attribute—not just solo methods, but even with the help of his childhood friend Olivia Bennett.
“Bennett is still working so hard, huh.”
Garfield High School’s training gym—Yes was still doing all kinds of sprints, while the coach on the side sighed.
As the basketball coach at James A. Garfield High School, Floyd always felt regret about Yes.
Yes and Roy were the two hardest-working kids he’d ever coached.
But Roy, in his senior year, tore the meniscus in his left knee from working too hard.
At that time, Roy was preparing for the NBA draft, but in the end, because of the injury, he had to withdraw.
As for Yes, by his senior year, he couldn’t make any more progress—his potential had completely peaked.
Two hard-working people, but their efforts didn’t bring them anything.
When Yes joined the team four years ago, the coach even thought his team might produce two NBA stars.
That year, under the leadership of Yes and Roy, the team swept through all of Washington State and won the state championship!
Time flies—four years have passed.
Once the darlings of Seattle, Garfield’s twin stars.
Maybe neither of them would make it to the NBA.
The NBA is always so cruel to those who work hard.
Only when it comes to the talented does it show its gentlest smile.
Chapter 0004: I Can’t Get Stronger, and It’s Driving Me Crazy
Yes has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
He knew he had OCD from a very young age.
A kind called “feeling uncomfortable all over if I don’t improve my attributes” OCD.
As long as there was a chance to improve his attributes, he even felt like it wouldn’t matter if he spent all twenty-four hours of the day on it.
Sometimes, he didn’t even know if his hard work was real effort, or just a symptom of his OCD.
And for someone like him, who felt uncomfortable all over if there was any chance to improve his attributes but he didn’t—
What he most longed to see was that slight jump when the system attributes changed.
And the most unbearable thing, without a doubt, was when the system didn’t budge at all.
If the system stayed still for a long time, it made him feel restless, anxious, and sometimes even a little at a loss.
He’d tried all sorts of fancy sprint drills, and even the methods he’d used before to improve his explosiveness.
But he still couldn’t find a way to make his explosiveness attribute move.
This left Yes feeling helpless.
Maybe these sprints were the way to go from 50 to 60 in explosiveness.
Or maybe from 70 to 80.
But they just weren’t the way to go from 60 to 70—how frustrating is that?
It was really unbearable!
Fortunately, this time, the John Wall (high school) star card changed two of his potentials for him.
