Chapter 125: Chapter 102: System Reform, Plateau Training Plan
Chen Junyi always handled his personal affairs flawlessly. This freed him from a lot of daily trifles, allowing him to dedicate all his time to training.
After they finished their discussion, Chen Junyi put on her headphones and got to work on her laptop, building a data model of the recent race for Huang Chong, Ma Binyan, and the others.
As someone who was terrible at academics, Huang Chong naturally couldn’t understand this kind of professional data analysis. So he didn’t ask any questions, lest he make a fool of himself.
He was, however, quite curious about what kind of music Chen Junyi was listening to.
But the thought of them each sharing an earbud seemed a little too intimate, so he ultimately decided against it.
He then turned his attention to his cheat.
Because after he completed the Asian Championships and earned 200 UCI points, the system’s text had automatically refreshed.
He’d just been too busy to check it until now.
[Congratulations to the Host for acquiring UCI points for the first time. The system has also detected that the Host’s current skill has fully reached the level of a Mid-level Professional Cyclist. From this moment on, the Basic Optimization Value rewards issued by the system will be pegged to the UCI points you acquire. The amount of Basic Optimization Value you receive will be equal to the UCI points you earn in a race.]
[Note: As the Host has reached the level of a Mid-level Professional Cyclist, Basic Optimization Value can no longer increase your FTP Value at a 1:1 ratio. The conversion rate will be adjusted: 50 points of Basic Optimization Value are now required to increase your FTP Power Value by 1 point.]
...
When Huang Chong saw that final "Note," he felt like the sky was falling!
The system’s new conversion rate was ruthless. ’The multiplier adjustment is just too harsh.’
’Does this mean that increasing my power just became 50 times harder than before?’
’For instance, I worked so hard to get those 200 UCI points. That converts to 200 Basic Optimization Value, but now it will only increase my FTP Power by a measly 4 points!’
’Following the old 1:1 conversion, my FTP Power would have shot up to 567W.’
’Uh—an FTP of 567W... that does seem a bit ridiculous.’
’If I could really improve by that much, my Power-to-Weight Ratio would skyrocket to over 8.7. That’s just inhuman!’
’Looks like the system doesn’t want my cheat to be too overpowered!’
’Besides, a 50:1 ratio might seem huge, but on second thought, it’s not that bad.’
’After all, for the current me, earning UCI points isn’t that difficult if I really go for it.’
’I just wonder if this ratio will change again once I become a High-level Professional Cyclist?’
Huang Chong’s heart pounded with excitement at the thought of Pogačar, who could single-handedly earn over ten thousand UCI points a year.
’How amazing would it be if I had that kind of terrifying strength?’
’Even with a 50:1 ratio, I could boost my FTP Power by 200 points in a single year.’
Anyway, once his Power-to-Weight Ratio surpassed 7.0+, he’d be one of the Mars People, in the same league as Pogačar and Vingegaard.
After reviewing the system’s changes, he rested on the plane. By the time he opened his eyes again, he was back in his home country, arriving at Capital Airport.
Since he had been called up to the National Team, he naturally had to be in the Capital.
However, he only stayed in the Capital for one night. The very next day, he, Brother Xiaoma, and Chen Junyi immediately boarded a flight back to the Shanghai Team Headquarters.
They needed to start preparing for this year’s National Road Cycling Championships, which were being held at Qiandao Lake.
Huang Chong hadn’t originally planned on entering this race, but since the association was using it to select the roster for the Hangcheng Asian Games, his participation was mandatory.
