Lin Shen jumped in place a couple of times and felt his exhausted body return to peak condition.
'Nice!'
'But is this considered cheating?'
Lin Shen thought about it for a moment. 'I'm just getting back to my normal state to compete,' he reasoned. 'That shouldn't count.'
So, with a clear conscience, he used two other items.
The Heart and Lung Vitality Potion, to improve his respiratory efficiency while running.
The Concentration Pill, to let him immerse himself in the run, unaffected by outside distractions.
SPLASH—!
Lin Shen splashed cold water on his face, washing away his mental fatigue.
He looked at his depleted items and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
'Looks like I'll have to grind out some more tasks to restock.'
After pulling himself together, Lin Shen started putting on his gear.
First, he pinned the race bib he'd picked up earlier to the front of his shirt. Then, he securely fastened the timing chip to his shoelaces.
Finally, he put on sunscreen.
