My different world is game mode.

"Now it's the final stage of the three-week run around the banyan tree forest!"

"Look! The awakened ones are running like the wind - wait! It's Master Lindsay! Master Lindsay is number one again. He has always been number one and has never been surpassed by anyone. He is about to cross the finish line -!!!"

In the banyan tree forest, a three-day sports meeting is being held.

From morning to afternoon, it is a competition between ordinary people, and from afternoon to evening it is the competition for the awakened ones.

There are no sports like football and baseball in this world.

Moreover, it is impossible to train for these types of competitions and achieve any results in a short period of time.

So Lindsay arranged for a construction team to build a simple venue in the banyan tree forest to accommodate sports such as long jump, high jump, long-distance running, or javelin throwing, which was the goal of this first sports meeting.

At this moment, after completing the long-distance race, it is already the evening of the third day.

After Lindsay won the championship, she returned to the crowd amid cheers.

He looked excited on the surface, but felt a little uneasy inside.

Although Lindsay's physical fitness is undoubtedly the strongest in the banyan forest.

But considering my own identity...

Winning the championship at this time is like him being a leader in a football match, and those exercising around him are all company employees.

"Everyone, the sports meet officially ends tonight!"

"Afterwards, everyone will go to the town center. I'll say a few words and then we can start the evening celebration party."

Lindsay shouted, preparing to go back for the closing speech.

After all the work at the sports meeting tonight was finished, he left quietly and opened the property panel at the same time.

[Sports Racing Level: 3]

"..."

“Is this a reasonable use of the mechanism, or a malicious bug?”

Lindsay smiled and shook her head.

His original plan was to help the development of the [Simulation Management] module through the town’s economic system.

But a few days ago, the children chasing and playing gave him inspiration.

When he was in the City of Thousand Sails, he activated the sports module through diving, and began to upgrade it by hosting his own sports games.

Lindsay won the sports championship for the first time, and the [Sports Racing] module was upgraded to level two; by the end of today, when Lindsay became the winner with the most championships in the entire sports meeting, it naturally upgraded to level three.

The two skills unlocked are as follows:

[Adrenaline: Players can freely control the secretion of adrenaline. It can greatly improve physical fitness in a short period of time and eliminate the sequelae after the adrenaline fades.

Note: Hey, did you see that guy running in front? His speed is as exciting as if he was on drugs! 】

[Concentrated state: After holding their breath, the player can greatly speed up their reaction ability, making quick maneuvers and thinking in a short period of time.

Note: Boy, bullet time! 】

"..."

Lindsay bowed his head in thought.

These two skills naturally fit in with the settings of sports games.

He tried [adrenaline] first.

This skill, combined with [Professional Sports] and the explosive power of Life Essence, can even double Lindsay's strength in a short period of time!

Then comes the [Concentrated State].

"hiss--"

Lindsay took a deep breath, her chest puffed out, and then her pupils constricted.

In an instant.

Green leaves falling from the trees; the soles of human feet raised up before landing on the gravel road; even the dust slowly drifting in the air, reflecting the lights of the night.

The movement of all objects slowed down significantly.

Looking straight ahead, it looks just like the special effects scenes in a movie!

As time slowly flowed, Lindsay tried to raise her left hand forward according to the skill description.

Snapped--

Lindsay succeeded.

But this ordinary action cost him 10 times more energy than usual.

The next second, Lindsay's consumed energy was replenished by the [Eternal Mark].

He tried to raise his right hand again.

As a result, as his physical strength was rapidly draining away, his body itself began to send out warnings, telling him not to push his limits endlessly.

"call--"

Lindsay breathed a sigh of relief and exited the [Concentrated State].

For an instant.

The fallen leaves fell to the ground, people walked normally, and the dust floating in the air disappeared.

The flow of time returned to normal.

"..."

"If I continue to train, will I become a Stand user who can stop time?"

Lindsay chuckled softly, feeling somewhat relieved at the same time.

Fortunately, I have acquired this ability now.

If it were the day when I just became an awakened one.

Not to mention the energy consumed, even the cost of transcending time is probably something his body cannot bear.

"In the final analysis, your own strength is everything."

"Even if this skill is extremely powerful, you still need basic physical fitness to perform it."

Then Lindsay moved her arms and shoulders.

The previous action still caused some slight discomfort in his arms, but this feeling was quickly fading away under the recovery effect of the life essence.

"If it's a normal type of source essence, the recovery speed would probably be even slower, right?"

Lindsay returned home with joy.

He took out the map of the banyan forest and began to plan a new building.

Hillard was helping to organize the information, so this time the architectural design work had to be handled by Lindsay herself.

"On the ground, in the trees...wait, should we expand the space underground as well?"

"Although it's not suitable for people to live in, things like warehouses can be put in there. But if that's the case, the sewer system will have to be redesigned..."

Time passes slowly.

While Lindsay was conscientiously designing the building map, a sound of footsteps came from below. Because it was too familiar to Lindsay, he knew it was Hammer rushing over without turning his head to look.

"Hammer, you're here?"

"The sports meet went smoothly these past few days. Thank you for your hard work."

"Master Lindsay." Hammer stepped forward and shook his head in shame. "How can my work be compared with yours?"

"Your wisdom is indeed beyond our reach. The people in the territory have been in a very good mood these days, and some past conflicts have been eased. Should we hold this event once a month, for example..."

Hammer obviously wanted to propose that sports meets be held more frequently in the future.

Lindsay interrupted him with a shake of her head:

"No, once a month is too often."

"This kind of event still needs time to build up people's anticipation. Based on my experience, um... should it be held every six months?"

Hammer naturally had no objection, or rather, he was convinced:

"Yes, Master Lindsay, I will do as you command."

Hammer then introduced what happened in the sports meeting.

When he was about to leave the second floor of the cabin after finishing his report, he specifically mentioned:

“Master Lindsay, you have been busy with the sports meeting these two days and may not remember the time.”

"The insect tribe will be able to transport a new batch of gold ore tomorrow, and the amount of gold coins you need will be almost enough!"
