Seven points lamented, three points funny, An Yi took a rare day off to celebrate her 14th birthday.

After that, life returned to the right track again, and I continued to train and carve my two sets of competition programs.Familiar with the new skates that Joanna gave him, complete daily tasks, and at the same time choose courses that are helpful to him according to the refreshed class schedule in the comprehensive training room, almost gave birth to an illusion that he has returned to his former university again time.

However, for this prop, he sometimes wants to complain very much.Because some of the disciplines that have been refreshed are really really special.

For example, pole dancing, face-to-face dancing, Buddhism, Taoism, interstellar science, etc., all kinds of knowledge that have nothing to do with artistic accomplishment, what use does he learn?

He doesn't want to be a Taoist, a Buddha, a scientist, or an outstanding person who promotes the development of mankind.So even in the eyes of some people, these contents are far more precious than subjects such as dance, music, and art appreciation.Not only is it useless to him, but it also occupies the hateful taste that he may be able to spawn that day, and he needs the course position.

February 1999, 2, the Year of the Rabbit, the first day of the first lunar month.

Since Mr. An has been staying abroad busy with work throughout the year and has not returned to China for the New Year, the three of An Yi's family did not prepare too many New Year's goods, but simply gathered for a meal, visited relatives and friends in advance, and hurriedly crossed the border. After this new year.

There is no way to do this, who knows that less than a month is left, the World Youth Championship is coming, the training of the three of them, the help of the help, almost all their minds are spent on An Yi's two programs .

During the process, although An Zexian, who doesn't have much artistic talent, couldn't help, there was Joanna Watts.As a star in Canadian figure skating and women's singles, even if her vision is not completely suitable for masculinity.There will be no loss in listening to it, and maybe when you broaden your horizons, you will suddenly have a flash of inspiration and figure out ideas to enrich the details of the sliding performance.

In this way, continuous polishing, continuous practice, refinement, and meticulous craftsmanship, time passed day by day, and finally arrived at the day when An Yi set off for Edmonton, Canada, to participate in the World Youth Figure Skating Championships.

Including him, the group of the national team going to the World Youth Championship walked quietly, hardly attracting the attention of any domestic media.This is also related to the general environment of the domestic sports world. Whoever makes figure skating has never achieved any achievements that are worthy of pride is not well-known.

But this is also very good. If there is no attention, there will be no pressure. As long as the athletes perform at their best level, even if they don't win any medals, they will not disappoint too many people.

If it was the other way around, it would attract the attention of the whole country and be known to the public, but it would fail in the end.Anyone can imagine what kind of public opinion pressure they will face after returning to China.

On March 3, An Yi, together with An Zexian and other athletes and coaches participating in the competition, set off from China by plane and arrived in Edmonton, Canada's fifth largest city, three and a half days in advance.

According to the arrangement of the competition organizing committee, after a simple rest, the staff of the national team began to rush around.Confirm and register the list of participating athletes for each individual event, handle the entry and exit certificates of coaches and athletes, submit the action sequence table of the competition program, and the music of the sliding program.

In the following time, apart from the head coach in charge of the participating athletes, the rest of the national team staff only need to be responsible for the logistics arrangements and assist the athletes to adapt to the competition venue in advance, and there is nothing wrong with them.

What results can be achieved, and whether they can meet the expectations of the leaders before the game, all depends on the level of the participating athletes and their performance on the field.I hope they will not be nervous when the time comes, and play their due level normally, adding luster to themselves and the motherland.

'Ding! '

'Now time, March 1999, 3. '

'System prompt: March 3th to 15th is the competition date for the host.During this period, the release of daily system tasks will be suspended, and the competition achievement tasks will be officially launched. '

'Note: Competition achievement tasks are optional tasks, and the host is not forced to perform them.However, if the host successfully completes the task, the system will issue different task rewards depending on the difficulty of the task.The list of achievement tasks for this World Youth Championship is as follows—'

1: Successfully pass the preliminaries and qualify for the short program. (Successfully completed, reward system points 10 points.)

2: Successfully pass the short program competition and qualify for free skating. (Successfully completed, reward system points 5 points.)

3: Won the top ten in men's single skating. (Successfully completed, reward system points 10 points.)

4: Get the top five in men's single skating. (Successfully completed, reward system points 5 points.)

5: Won the top three in men's single skating. (10 points for the third place reward system, 2 points for the runner-up reward system, and 3 points for the champion reward system. The rewards for this mission are settled independently from the rewards for the host’s existing challenge missions.)

6: Challenge yourself, the winner is king.Without using any system auxiliary props, won the men's single skating championship. (Successfully completed, reward system points 5 points, achievement points +10, all character attributes +5, two designated mid-level props, and one random high-level prop.)

"System, what are you—?!"

There was a crisp ding, and the system suddenly swiped the screen in my mind.

After watching the system information completely, An Yi couldn't care that An Zexian was also in the bedroom.Immediately jumped up from the bed, pondering the meaning of these achievement tasks issued by the system.

There is no doubt that the suspension of daily tasks is definitely good news during his participation in the game.

But don't forget, he still has a challenge task on his back that he must make great strides in this World Youth Championship.Whether you can get rewards or not, don't think about it for the time being, at least you can't let the punishment of the challenge mission be confirmed.If that's the case, he might as well die, and avoid living in the shadow of those punishment missions for the rest of his life.

Who knew that now, there is a wave of ups and downs, and there will be another wave!

Even if these achievement tasks can be completed or not, if they are released for him to see, isn't it teasing his nerves?

Especially the sixth task, almost completely coincided with the idea in his mind.Are you sure it's not this one? The system, which has inexplicably changed a lot recently, spied on his thoughts and released it on purpose to lure him?

"What's the matter, son? Didn't you just say that you were tired and wanted to sleep for a while? Why now..."

Staying in the hotel where he stayed with his children, An Zexian sat on the sofa next to the bed in the bedroom, holding a book in his hand, flipping through pages to pass the time.Suddenly noticing that his kid turned over and sat up, he was surprised for a second.I wondered if the team's expectations were too high this time, which made the kid panic?

Think about it too.

Why? In view of An Yi's technical level, the team hoped that he would at least earn two spots for next year's World Youth Championship by participating in the competition.It would be even better if he can earn three places, and the team will definitely ask for credit for him after returning to China.

For this statement, he really wanted to sneer.

Doesn't that mean that if my kid participates in the World Series for the first time, he must at least be in the top ten of the World Youth Championship to meet the first or even the second requirement?

Think about it, there is no one left!

Before his son returned to China, the requirements of the national team leaders for the contestants have always been only to perform at a high level, and it is good to be able to pass the short program and enter the free skating stage.

Once in front of his son, No. 10 to No. 2 in the World Youth Championship, the two places he can get in the next year are only the most basic requirements? !

The three places that can only be earned back by getting No. 1 are not just in the stage of imagining in the heart, but they are just said so carelessly.He really has confidence in his son, and he is not afraid to put pressure on his son!

"No, I just—"

"Don't deny it, brat, you must be nervous, right? It's okay, it's okay, Dad will always be with you."

Seeing that his son wanted to deny it, An Zexian felt a pain in his heart. He put down the book in his hand, got up, walked to the bedside and sat down, put his arms around An Yi's shoulder, and comforted him in a relaxed tone with a smile on his face.

"Son, what Dad said next is not blind confidence in you, but that your strength is indeed far superior to that of your peers."

"Think about the level of domestic adult athletes, think about the gap between them and you. Think about the level of those athletes who are about your age during the public training two days ago. What do you have to worry about? As long as you perform normally, you will pass the preliminary selection In the competition, through the short program, killing more than half of the free skaters is as easy as the next drizzle for you."

"..."

"What's the matter? What kind of eyes do you have? Don't you believe your father?"

As he was talking, he noticed An Yi's strange eyes that hesitated to speak, An Zexian couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and continued to work hard.

"There's nothing wrong with trusting your dad. Have some faith in yourself. You're definitely the strongest. No one is worse than you. Think about it, your good friend Johnny Watson, who won last year's Canadian National Championships in the junior category. Berg, do you think you are inferior to him? It’s an international joke, right! Who is my son An Yi! A generation of geniuses, the hopeful star of An’s family, the pride of his father An Zexian all his life—”

"Okay, okay, Dad, can you stop talking? You are shameless and I want shame!"

Seeing that her father's words became more and more outrageous, and more and more explicit, An Yi bent his elbow angrily and hit him on the stomach, taking advantage of An Zexian's pain to loosen his shoulders, rolled on his side into the inner side of the bed , turned his face to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room, the local scenery of Edmonton.

To be honest, before hearing what his father said just now, he was actually not nervous, nor worried about gains and losses.Instead, I was thinking about whether to use all means to slip out of my best condition, complete the challenging tasks, and win all the glory in the international arena for the first time.It's better to be hypocritical, challenge yourself, and try your true ability.

The actual situation he is about to face is just like what his father said in his words.

He is a genius, and his level is definitely far beyond that of his peers, even the players in the adult group are far behind.

Since this is the case, with so many and great advantages, why should he rely on the system, why not try his best to see if he can rely on his own strength to earn a good ranking for himself?

If not, when the time comes—

Do not!

How could it not work? !

He should believe in himself and have more confidence in himself.

Yes, that's right!

That's it!

The qualifiers starting tomorrow, and the short program after that, the free skating, unless there is an extremely unfavorable situation.Otherwise, he will not use any system props for assistance.In the previous training, when he skated the two programs, he didn't use the system to assist him, so there was no reason why he couldn't do it this time.

as if...

Just take it as a test for him through this competition.Check whether he has the qualifications to go on in this sport!
