I practiced in the United States

The style of the streets of Paris looks pretty good when you look up, with a unique sense of history and culture, but when you look down, it suddenly drops several levels.

Trash can be seen everywhere, homeless people lying everywhere, and because public toilets are relatively expensive, there are even many people urinating and defecating everywhere.

To be honest, except for the different architecture, it is not much different from the streets in some American cities, and it can't even keep up with the cleanliness of their towns.

A few people curiously visited a few souvenir shops. The products inside were quite good, but Li Ang could tell at a glance that these were small commodities from Yiwu.

How should I put it, as tourists from the United States, they can buy imported goods, so there is no problem.

Watching Katina and Louis taking photos non-stop with their cameras, a young black man who had been standing on the roadside for a long time suddenly walked up next to him. He kindly extended his hand to the two of them and said:

"Do you need me to take a photo with you?"

"Really? Thank you very much."

Feeling the enthusiasm from the French, Louis and Katina handed the camera to Xiao Hei without thinking too much, and thoughtfully taught him how to use it.

Li Ang was about to speak, don't put valuables in other people's hands easily, but in a blink of an eye, he saw that the things had been handed out, so he didn't say anything.

Seeing that Xiao Hei was really listening carefully about how to use the camera, Li Ang also subconsciously reflected on whether he was too vigilant, or maybe he just wanted to help.

However, the next second, when the three of them had just posed, Xiao Hei, who was holding the camera, had already started running away.

Li Ang shook his head helplessly. He really thought he had met enthusiastic residents. It turned out that they were just learning how to use their own things.

I have to say that black people are really talented when it comes to running. In order to not attract attention, Li Ang took out 100 meters and ten seconds, which is close to the speed of ordinary Olympic sprinters. In this way, he ran a full mile. It took him twenty meters to catch up with him.

Li Ang put his hand on the little black's collar, and with just a little force, his body was immediately pulled to a stop as if it had stepped on a sudden brake.

Seeing that he couldn't run away, Xiao Hei took out a dagger from his arms and made several gestures at Li Ang close to his body.

But he didn't find a fearful expression on Li Ang's face. Instead, he saw a contemptuous smile.

If this little black guy took out a desert eagle from his arms, Li Ang might be a little more cautious, but a dagger? All joking aside, you can leave it alone for a while.

Not long after the two stopped, not only Katina and Lewis followed, but there were two little black ones beside them, who also came closer.

This is not that unexpected. Those who have the courage to do such things basically commit crimes in gangs. They cheat first and then steal. If that doesn't work, they just rob.

Although this was not the first time that they had been robbed of cameras, encountering such a thing on the streets of a country's capital, to be honest, refreshed a few people's perceptions.

Even in a foreign country, surrounded by three people in the middle, Li Ang still didn't panic at all.

He grabbed Xiao Hei's collar hand and pressed it down at will. Xiao Hei, who had just taken out the dagger, knelt down in front of him uncontrollably.

"My patience is very limited, so I advise you to safely leave the camera in my hands."

Li Ang said in a low voice, his eyes never paying attention to the two little black guys approaching from both sides.

However, it was obvious that his methods did not deter this little black guy. In front of two good people, he knelt down in front of the Chinese, causing him to lose all face.

Between the camera and the dagger, he chose to extend the dagger to Li Ang's hand and motioned for Li Ang to take his hand away.

Unexpectedly, the next second, under the surprised gazes of the three people, Li Ang directly reached out and grasped the blade of the dagger.

The little black guy who knelt down in front of Li Ang looked up as if he were a fool. He raised his head and wondered why Li Ang couldn't think about it. In fact, he didn't want to make the matter a big deal, otherwise he would have just waved a knife in front of Li Ang. .

For a moment, he even felt a little guilty. Although he was morally corrupt, he wouldn't be the one to take advantage of a mentally ill person.

"Crab meat, I'll give the camera back to you, please don't hurt yourself again, okay?"

Xiao Hei didn't dare to look at Li Ang's hand holding the dagger, and directly handed the camera to Li Ang.

Li Ang didn't expect that the other party would give in so quickly. He couldn't beat him again for a while. He took back the camera with a slight embarrassment, warned the other two people with his eyes, and turned to leave.

The main reason is that this is not his territory. Without understanding the ethics of the police here, he doesn't want to go inside the police station. If they were in the United States, these three people would have been lying on the ground.

After Li Ang left, the two black men who were standing just now shrugged their shoulders, looked at Xiao Hei who was still kneeling on the ground and said:

"How should I put it? In fact, I don't agree with you robbing some items belonging to people with physical disabilities. Can you understand what I mean?"

But the little black man kneeling on the ground seemed to be stupid, his eyes were always staring in front of him, motionless.

The two of them followed his gaze and realized that he had been looking at the dagger in his hand. The blade of the dagger that had just been grabbed by the Asian man had become twisted.

Xiao Hei reluctantly pinched the blade of the dagger with his hand. It wasn't until his hand oozed blood that he finally came to his senses and tried to look for the Chinese figure, but found that he had disappeared. In the crowd.

"Captain China, this must be Captain China!"

At this time, Li Ang was receiving the admiring looks of the two girls.

"Is the boss so intimidating? I saw that the guy just knelt down in front of you as soon as you caught up with him, and then obediently handed the camera back to you."

Louis' eyes looked at Li Ang, almost turning into starry eyes.

Katina also said thoughtfully:

"Is it possible that he already recognized you as a UFC professional fighter and was afraid that you would hit him, so he just knelt down and gave in?"

"It makes sense. It seems that our publicity work has been done well. Even black people in France have seen our announcement news."

Due to the impact of this incident, or the gap between reality and ideals, they no longer had much interest in shopping. After accompanying Katina to purchase some goods that her roommate needed, they returned Got to the hotel.

In the next few days, although Li Ang stayed in the hotel, he was not idle. Instead, he lived an extremely fulfilling life and trained himself hard.

I suddenly upgraded my [Swimming] to a proficient level in the hotel. If I want to explore the second source of interference near the Isle of Wight, this skill is of course indispensable.

【swim】

156/400 (Proficient)

(Feature: Underwater movement speed increased by 20%)

Moreover, he also discovered that the proficiency of several martial arts he mastered improved much faster when practiced in the water than on the shore.

So much so that in the past two days, he basically soaked in the swimming pool.

"Li Ang, the manager asked me to call you. You will gather at the venue for the pre-match meeting later."

By the swimming pool, Moira looked at Li Ang who was swimming like a fish in the water and shouted.

In fact, Orsad planned to notify by phone, but Moira forced him to take over the task first.

Li Ang swam to the edge of the swimming pool, squatted down slightly, and let the water cover his head. Then his legs suddenly exerted force and he jumped out of the swimming pool.

Although the height of the swimming pool only reaches Li Ang's chest, anyone who has tried this behavior knows that jumping out of the water is definitely a very difficult thing.

When you are stationary in the water, the water around your body provides you with buoyancy, but when you want to jump upward, the water will create huge resistance that hinders your movement.

It's not that Li Ang deliberately wanted to show off. In fact, he has deeply realized the various benefits of exercising in the water in the past two days and has developed various exercise methods into instinct.

But in the eyes of Moira, who had been holding it in for a long time, Li Ang came out of the water and his strong body was still dripping water drops on the ground. It was like a powerful aphrodisiac, and she couldn't help dripping water drops for a while. .

"When are we going? Are we leaving now?"

Li Ang wiped the water from his face and asked.

Moira bit her lip lightly, her earlobes turned slightly red, and replied in a low voice:

"It's not that urgent. Maybe we can go to your room to have a good chat first."

An hour later, at the door of the hotel, Moira snuggled next to Li Ang and said softly:

"Will this really not affect your competitive status later?"

"No, of course not. I could even come all day."

I don’t know who leaked the news. The entrance to the venue was already crowded with fans of various players and teams. If it weren’t for the security to separate them, they wouldn’t have been able to find the entrance.

The player in front of him who was surrounded by a lot of people and was being chased after him was none other than Peter Sagan, a Slovakian professional driver who plays for the Total Energy Team.

"Wow, he is the idol of many people in our team."

Moira also said with a surprised look on her face.

"Is he great?"

Li Ang really didn't pay much attention to this news. Regarding the news about the Tour de France, he only studied the track and rules. As for these opponents, he really didn't know anything about them, and he didn't feel the need to know anything about them.

"It's amazing."

Moira nodded.

"He is only in his early thirties this year, but he has already won the green jersey of the Tour de France seven times. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the king of sprints. In 2015, he won the world road championship in one go and put on the Rainbow jersey. In 2016, he had almost no rivals in major classic races and won 6 first places. He is a true cycling genius."

Li Ang raised his eyebrows, thinking that no wonder so many fans were surrounding him. He still admired such a powerful driver.

Compared to Peter Sagan, who had exploded in popularity earlier, no one would have recognized the two of them even if they were among passers-by. If they hadn't taken out the players' IDs, the security guards would have stopped them both at the door.

Arriving at the back row of the venue, where his team was, Li Ang saw the team manager Orsade stand up suddenly not long after he sat down.

Looking in his direction, it turned out that a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing came over. He seemed to be the manager of another team.

"Long time no see, old friend, I finally see you here one day. I know you can do it."

"Long time no see, Richard."

Compared to the calmness of the middle-aged man opposite, Orsad was quite emotional.

In the conversation with his teammates, Li Ang also learned that the middle-aged man was the manager of the Jumbo Team, Richard Peach.

Thinking of the gap between the two teams, Li Ang suddenly felt that it was normal for the two to have such a reaction.

Even among the World Tour teams, the Jumbo Team is definitely the top one. The rider who won the 22nd Tour de France championship, Gwengo, is from the Jumbo Team.

The comparison of the strength of the two teams, for example, is like the distance between the SKT team and the unknown wildcard team from Southeast Asia in the League of Legends game.

Although both teams have qualified for the world championship, one is aiming for the championship, and the other is to make up the number.

After the two finished reminiscing about the past, Orsad suddenly sat next to Li Ang.

"To be honest, I really thank you. If it weren't for you, I might not have sat here this day in my life. Many years ago, I was friends with Richard, but later he stayed in the Netherlands and I returned to the United States. The gap between us became larger and larger. At that time, I was young and I once promised him that one day in the future, I would stand at the same height as him, or even surpass him."

Olsad's eyes were focused on something, and his eyes were full of memories of the past.

"I used to think that I might not have the opportunity to stand on the platform of the Tour de France with him in this life, until you appeared. For the result of this game, I actually didn't have too many expectations in my heart, and I would not make any demands on you. Fly freely. Our team is proud of you."

Olsad patted Li Ang on the back, left an encouraging look, and stood up and left.

Li Ang looked at Orsad's slightly hunched back, and suddenly felt that it would be interesting if he pretended to be big this time.

Time soon came to the day of the competition. Li Ang felt the enthusiasm of the audience just by looking at the sudden increase in the number of people on the street several days ago.

At least compared with the previous competitions he participated in, this competition was definitely the one with the most attention.

Although Li Ang was not the captain, from the team's position, it can be seen that Li Ang was the absolute core.

In fact, not only the manager, but also the teammates of the team, they never thought that they would actually stand in the Tour de France cycling race.
