Seeing that choosing to ride home had actually triggered a new reward, Huang Chong was stunned. "This system is pretty considerate. It even knows to give me an early New Year's gift?"
He glanced at his personal panel, and his mood immediately brightened.
Among his various stats, two had already surpassed 80 points.

"An average speed of 50 over a hundred kilometers really isn't easy to achieve.
"At my current level, there's still quite a gap between me and top riders, but at least I can keep up with UCI WorldTour teams when cruising on flat roads."
Huang Chong was fairly satisfied with this result.
His current FTP was right at a threshold.
It was the dividing line between Asian riders and European riders.
Top domestic riders were not incapable of reaching that speed.
But if they wanted to keep up with UCI WorldTour riders throughout a multi-day race while maintaining a speed of 50, that was truly impossible.
Take the Tour of Guangxi, for example. It had six stages in total, five of them flat stages and only one mountain stage.
Yet the national team members invited to participate every year could usually only hold on for the first two or three days.
Once the race entered its latter half, they would be brutally dropped on the flat stages by UCI WorldTour teams maintaining cruising speeds of around 50.
Of course, this was directly related to the intensity and
