Chapter 307 It's reasonable for an academician like me to have strong athletic ability, right?

However, after listening to this, Jiang Jing laughed heartily, his tone filled with indifference and powerful self-confidence:

"Haha, is that all you were worried about?"

"What's inappropriate about that? Isn't it just going out to have some fun?"

"Does just being scared by a few rats hiding in the gutter mean I have to stay cooped up at home like a coward, never stepping a foot outside?"

"That's not my, Jiang Jing's, style!"

He paused, his tone carrying a reassuring strength: "Besides, you know as well as I do, I'm currently receiving national treasure-level treatment. Who knows how many people are protecting me, both openly and secretly."

"With the country backing me, what do I have to fear?"

"I should eat what I want and play what I want; life has to go on!"

"If I were to act timid over such a trivial matter, that would really be giving those guys a laugh!"

Honestly, if Jiang Jing hadn't been unwilling to expose his superhuman physical fitness, he could have wiped out as many of those small-time nobodies as came at him. It just would have been a bit annoying.

But all in all, Jiang Jing didn't care at all about the antics of these clowns. After all, powerful strength is the only foundation for true confidence!

On the other end of the phone, Yan Shuyao, listening to Jiang Jing's heroic words, felt as if she could see his soaring confidence through the radio waves.

Her previous concerns instantly vanished, replaced by deep admiration and happiness.

"Really? That's great!" Yan Shuyao's voice immediately became light and airy, and she asked somewhat shyly: "Then... then would you be willing to accompany me to try out some fun sports today?"

In his mind, Jiang Jing immediately imagined the contrasting image of this beautiful, intellectual woman in her professional suit standing in front of a bungee jumping platform or a rock climbing wall, and couldn't help but find it even more interesting.

Extreme sports?

With the superhuman physical fitness he now possessed thanks to the system, let alone bungee jumping, even if he were to go skydiving dozens of times in a row, he probably wouldn't even blink.

"Of course I'm willing!" Jiang Jing agreed immediately, "It's a good chance to stretch my limbs. You pick the time and place."

"That's wonderful! Then let's meet in an hour at the XXX Club? I'll send you the address!" Yan Shuyao's voice was filled with joy.

"Sure, see you in a bit."

After hanging up, Jiang Jing looked up and met the slightly strange gazes directed at him by Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong.

The two women looked at him with complex expressions, seeming to have something they wanted to say but hesitated.

"What's up?" Jiang Jing touched his face, feeling a bit confused, "Is there something on my face? Or did I get breakfast on my teeth?"

Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong both shook their heads at the same time.

"No," Zhou Wanqin said softly, though her eyes drifted away unnaturally. Lin Hong also pursed her lips and didn't speak.

In fact, they had both been attracted by the powerful confidence Jiang Jing had inadvertently displayed while on the phone.

That demeanor of laughing and joking, looking down on everything even after facing danger, was truly captivating.

Combined with his naturally handsome appearance and his current halo as an Academician, it formed a highly impactful masculine charm that seemed to strike the softest part of their hearts all at once.

At that moment, in their eyes, Jiang Jing was excessively handsome.

But this feeling of being moved, given their personalities and their current subtle relationship with Jiang Jing, was really hard to put into words.

Seeing that they wouldn't say anything, Jiang Jing shrugged indifferently, got up, and went back to his room to change into some casual, lightweight clothes.

When the time was about right, he took the two women out and headed to the address Yan Shuyao had sent.

They soon arrived at the entrance of what looked like a very high-end extreme sports club. It looked very large overall, and Jiang Jing immediately spotted Yan Shuyao, who had already been waiting there.

Sure enough, she had changed into professional sportswear today.

The form-fitting, quick-drying fabric perfectly outlined her slender and shapely curves.

Her long, straight legs, her slim waist that could be encircled by one's hands, and her... ahem.

The fullness that was wrapped by her sports top yet still revealed an astonishing arc...

Jiang Jing only then realized that Yan Shuyao, usually covered by her professional suit, actually had such a fantastic figure.

Coupled with her intellectual and stunningly beautiful face, she exuded a unique and highly seductive charm.

It was truly amazing.

Jiang Jing didn't try to hide it; with a look of pure appreciation, he openly and generously looked Yan Shuyao up and down.

Only then did he walk up with a smile to greet her: "Great Hostess Yan, have you been waiting long? This outfit today looks great!"

Yan Shuyao's cheeks flushed slightly under Jiang Jing's undisguised appreciative gaze, her heart pounding like a little deer.

She felt both the shyness of a young woman and an irrepressible sense of happiness and pride.

A woman dresses for those who appreciate her; she had specially chosen this sports outfit that best showed off her figure and put effort into her appearance today, wasn't it precisely because she hoped to leave a good impression on Jiang Jing?

Now seeing Jiang Jing being so "supportive," she felt even sweeter than if she had eaten honey.

"No, I just arrived a little while ago." Yan Shuyao smiled, pursing her lips, and brushed a stray lock of hair from her forehead.

The group walked into the extreme sports club, which had an avant-garde decor and was full of dynamic energy.

Yan Shuyao was clearly a regular here, as the front desk staff greeted her enthusiastically when they saw her.

"Miss Yan, you're here! The usual today?"

"I'm bringing some friends to try it out today." Yan Shuyao responded with a smile and led Jiang Jing inside, familiar with the place.

She first took Jiang Jing to try out a few relatively gentle activities, such as indoor rock climbing and the balance maze.

To her surprise, Jiang Jing picked them up extremely quickly, his movements impossibly smooth and coordinated.

When rock climbing, it was as if he had built-in suction cups, moving freely on the rock wall and reaching the top with ease.

When walking through the balance maze, it was as if he were walking on flat ground; those swaying planks and ropes were incredibly stable under his feet.

"Wow! Jiang Jing, you... do you play these often?" Yan Shuyao couldn't help but ask in surprise as she watched Jiang Jing easily complete the challenge.

She had originally thought that a big boss and great scientist like Jiang Jing would spend his daily life soaking in a Laboratory or conference room, and hadn't expected his athletic nerves to be so well-developed.

Jiang Jing jumped nimbly down from the rock climbing wall and clapped the magnesium powder off his hands.

He looked at her with a smile: "What? Is it because you see I'm handsome and hold the title of Academician that you thought I must be one of those weak young masters who can't even truss a chicken and would topple over in a breeze?"

Yan Shuyao was amused by him, subconsciously nodded, and admitted honestly: "Well... it really is a bit surprising. I felt your image leaned more towards... hmm, the intellectual type."

"Haha!" Jiang Jing laughed out loud, walked up to Yan Shuyao, and deliberately flexed his arm, striking a bodybuilding pose to show off his biceps.

Although they were covered by his casual clothes, the bulging muscle lines were still clearly visible.

He teased: "Great Hostess Yan, you don't understand, do you?"

"You, a beautiful woman who looks so dignified and intellectual, secretly love these stimulating sports in contrast, so why can't I, a tough guy, have strong athletic cells too?"

"It's perfectly reasonable, right..."
