Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 44 isn't just fancy footwork, but...

Chapter 44 isn't just fancy footwork, but...

Stepping inside the Bird's Nest.

The massive steel dome, like outstretched wings, completely shut out the scorching sunlight. The cool air from the air conditioner, carrying a faint smell of disinfectant, wafted over, instantly dispelling the heat from my body.

My mom and aunt were busy taking pictures, pointing their phones at the open space and marveling at its beauty.

Chen Baiyu stood still, his gaze sweeping over the crisscrossing steel pillars and towering stands.

This place always reminds him of the Olympics.

Those figures running, jumping, and sprinting represent humanity's repeated breakthroughs in physical limits.

He suddenly had a thought: what would happen if he became an athlete with his current physical condition?
He could probably run the 100 meters in under 8 seconds? He might be able to jump over 3 meters in the high jump? Weightlifting... he could probably double the current world record.

At that time, there will only be him on the awards stage forever.

The eyes of the whole world will be focused on him, like a searchlight with nowhere to hide.

"Forget it."

Chen Baiyu shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind.

He's not someone who naturally likes being in the spotlight too much. He'd be perfectly fine as a game streamer, occasionally showing off his extraordinary reflexes, or doing some lighthearted extreme challenges during outdoor live streams.

If one does not display one's extraordinary power in public, it is as if one is wearing fine clothes in the dark.

But repeatedly defying common sense at the globally watched Olympics is indeed too conspicuous.

This behavior is clearly not advisable until one has the strength to abstain from beef.

Moreover, becoming a top athlete inevitably involves traveling all over the world.

The parts of his minimap that are overseas are still completely black. Who knows what would happen if he rashly went to an area that is not highlighted on the map?
He won't easily explore areas outside the map until he can send three dogs to run around the map.

While he was thinking, his mother suddenly called out to him loudly.

"Xiaobai, come take a picture!"

My mother is waving from a distance, with the Bird's Nest's iconic circular grandstand in the background.

Chen Baiyu walked over and stood beside her cooperatively.

In the video, his expression was somewhat indifferent, while his mother smiled brightly.

My aunt muttered from the side, "Back then, the Olympics looked spectacular on TV, but I never imagined it would be even more magnificent in person..."

The group then strolled around leisurely, looked at the Olympic souvenirs on display, and sat in the rest area for a while.

Chen Baiyu casually picked up a picture book from the display case next to him. It contained wonderful moments from previous Olympic Games. As he ran his fingertips over the photos of athletes with taut muscles, he suddenly felt a little emotional.

Those previous achievements represented the limits of human capability.

But now... this is just another starting point.

If there were a superhuman in the world who could constantly update his own physical condition to match the limits of human physical strength, then in the next couple of days he would find that his body data, which had been stagnant for a long time, suddenly jumped up.

because.

The limits of humanity have been quietly surpassed because of him.

"It's almost time. The acrobatic show is in Section B. We need to hurry over there."

Mom glanced at her phone, then pulled the two of them toward the signpost.

When the corresponding venue area is found.

There were already quite a few people inside, and the lights gradually dimmed.

Chen Baiyu followed his mother to a seat. The seat was made of cold plastic. He adjusted his posture and looked at the stage in front of him.

The curtain was closed, and the faint sounds of equipment clanging could be heard from behind, probably the actors making their final preparations.

"Was that little girl performing here just now?" the aunt whispered. "We'll have to watch her closely later. Performing at the Bird's Nest must be something special."

Chen Baiyu didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

His hearing allows him to detect even the most subtle sounds.

He could hear light footsteps moving behind the curtain, and someone counting quietly, as if adjusting their rhythm. He couldn't make out anything more specific.

After all, he's not Superman, capable of exaggerating to the point of ignoring the laws of physics and instantly hearing sounds from one side of the Earth to the other.

He was sitting quite a distance from the stands, and the surrounding area was filled with the constant chatter of the crowd. It was quite remarkable that he could vaguely hear the small movements behind the curtain.

next moment.

The lights suddenly dimmed to their lowest setting, and almost instantly all the talking in the room ceased.

A few seconds later, a spotlight shone on the center of the stage.

The curtain slowly opened, and actors dressed in sequined costumes filed out, while music suddenly began to play.

The first act was a trapeze performance.

The actors swung on swings high in the air, weaving like birds, and the occasional moment they let go immediately drew gasps from the audience.

As the opening performance.

This incredibly thrilling aerial acrobatic act immediately ignited the atmosphere in the entire venue.

The acrobats drew smooth arcs in the air, releasing, flipping, and connecting with each other with precision as if measured with a ruler.

When the last actor was caught safely by his partner, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Chen Baiyu watched as the beads of sweat on their foreheads glistened under the spotlight, knowing in his heart that behind this lay thousands upon thousands of hours of practice, and the muscles' precise memory of every inch of distance.

Next up was the bowl-balancing performance.

A girl in ethnic costume stood on her partner's shoulders, with more than a dozen blue and white porcelain bowls stacked on her head. She spun and bent over to the music, but the bowls remained as steady as a rock.

At the most thrilling moment, she stood on one leg with the other leg raised behind her, her body almost parallel to the ground, and the audience below held their breath.

Chen Baiyu squinted and could see the taut muscles in her neck. Every slight adjustment was just right, which was the ultimate control over her sense of balance.

Xia Meng'an, whom we met before, was in charge of walking the tightrope and was placed in the second to last program.

She wore a red and white performance costume, gently swaying the long pole in her hand, and moving nimbly on the tightrope.

When you reach the middle.

She suddenly let go of one hand, winked at the audience, and drew laughter.

Then, she placed one foot on the wire, raised the other foot high, and spun her body half a circle.

When it landed steadily, even Chen Baiyu couldn't help but applaud.

Throughout the entire performance, his gaze never left the stage.

It's not that I find it novel.

Instead, they subconsciously compare things in their minds.

The trapeze artist has quick reflexes, but he can be even faster; the girl balancing bowls and Xia Meng'an have amazing balance, but he could probably jog while standing on the tightrope...

My mom and aunt kept gasping as they watched, muttering, "That's amazing!" and "They really dared to go all out!"

Chen Baiyu nodded, having to admit to himself: it was indeed impressive.

These people have pushed the limits of human physical potential to the extreme; every movement is imbued with sweat and courage, and is by no means just empty gestures.

only……

He looked at the legs on the stage, trembling slightly from the intense performance, and at the actors helping each other offstage. The unspoken words in his heart were clear.

If I were to do these things now, it would probably be much easier.

There was no disregard whatsoever; it was simply an objective judgment based on extraordinary physical attributes.

Just like adults watching children play hopscotch, they find them agile and cute, but they also know that they can easily jump farther.
