Chapter 47: Formation of the Physical Management Team

Gao Yun’s recruitment for positions including fitness trainer, nutritionist, chef, physician, and physiotherapist had steadily been completed, with the behind-the-scenes team gradually taking shape and currently in the adjustment phase.

The three headhunting agencies, motivated by substantial rewards, had indeed put in great effort. Within just one week, they had delivered over sixty resumes for these five related positions, featuring both men and women from domestic and international backgrounds.

Among the applicants were those with experience such as former nutritionists for China’s national athletics team with three years of experience, scientific coaches for the national weightlifting team with four years under their belt, fitness trainers for the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars, team doctors for China’s MMA national team, and rehabilitation physiotherapists from Evergrande Football Club.

Gao Yun carefully selected the top fifteen candidates and covered their travel and lost wages to come to Hushi City for interviews. After a month of trial and screening, six were retained.

Among these six, the chef held a master’s degree, while the rest all had doctorates, each with impressive professional backgrounds.

The nutritionist, Carida Walker, female, American, doctorate, thirty-five years old.

She had served as a personal nutritionist for many top athletes competing in the UFC, the world’s premier and largest professional MMA competition, commanding an annual salary of $250,000.

Carida Walker did not need to accompany Gao Yun constantly. She conducted gut microbiome and other bodily tests during the initial month to determine the most suitable foods, then returned to the United States. Going forward, she would email daily menus to the chef and would only return for new tests and meal plan adjustments monthly or when unforeseen events occurred.

The chef, Wang Sheng, male, master’s degree, thirty-three years old.

He had served as the head chef for China’s national boxing team for two years, known for his excellent dishes. Even the most monotonous nutritious meals were creatively arranged under his hands, with an annual salary of one million yuan. He had now settled in the villa overlooking Shoushan and the sea, responsible for Gao Yun’s daily meals—from main courses to snacks, drinks, and fruits—covering all aspects.

The original housekeeper, Wang Lina, was no longer responsible for these matters but was not dismissed. Considering the increased number of residents and workload in the villa, Gao Yun hired another housekeeper, Li Li, who together with Wang Lina managed the physical management team’s daily life and cleaning duties.

Two fitness trainers.

Thomas Keys, male, New Zealander, doctorate, thirty-six years old.

He had worked as a fitness trainer for professional NFL players on the Jacksonville Jaguars for five years, earning an annual salary of $800,000. He had moved into the villa overlooking Shoushan and the sea and would accompany Gao Yun closely from now on.

Luo Du, male, professor at Dong Province Sports University, forty-eight years old.

He had formerly served as a scientific fitness coach for China’s national weightlifting team, with eight years of experience and an annual salary of two million yuan. He would spend five days each month with Gao Yun, collaborating with Thomas and Carida to plan and supervise training and diet, aiming for higher athletic goals. He was chiefly responsible for overall direction and was effectively the team leader.

The physician, Zhang Ye, male, doctorate, thirty-seven years old.

He had served as the team doctor for China’s MMA national team and currently was chief physician at a top-tier hospital, earning one million yuan annually. He conducted routine physical checkups for Gao Yun every ten days and could accompany him closely if necessary.

The physiotherapist, Clayton, Brazilian, male, doctorate, thirty-five years old.

He had worked as a physiotherapist for multiple Brazilian football clubs and came to China a few years ago. He was employed by Evergrande Football Club for six months before resigning to open his own physiotherapy clinic in China, earning $800,000 annually. He also resided in the villa overlooking Shoushan and the sea.

These six individuals now comprised Gao Yun’s physical management team. Thanks to their efforts, after one month of training, all five physical attributes showed improvement.

Strength rose from 26 to 27.
Endurance increased from 22 to 25.
Speed climbed from 20 to 22.
Flexibility improved from 21 to 23.
Agility surged from 18 to 22.

These four attributes earned a total reward of 18.72 million yuan. Although the sum seemed modest and progress somewhat slow, Gao Yun was highly satisfied with the improvement rate. Previously, over five years of systematic fitness training, he had only raised the average of these five attributes from 10 to 21—that is, 11 points over 60 months.

Now, in just one month, he had boosted the average by 2.2 points, an enormous difference in pace. Moreover, the difficulty of raising physical attributes increases exponentially with progress; improving from 10 to 11 is relatively easy, but from 20 to 21 is much harder.

“Six people, with a combined annual salary of 17 million yuan,”

“Yet with their help, I earned that back in just one month, with surplus to spare.”

“Peanuts!”

Gao Yun felt the money was well worth it. This team not only helped him break through his attributes faster, more scientifically, and comprehensively—transforming him into a pentagonal warrior—but also allowed him to improve his English skills during daily life and workouts with fitness trainer Thomas and chats with Clayton.

In one month, his English (beginner level) skyrocketed from 36% to 98%.

Truly, skills and attributes complemented each other—a fusion of East and West, both cultural and physical!

“Wow, could it be that I can not only sing and dance to debut as an idol but also become an actor?”

“But I’m afraid I’m not very suitable to play Sun Wukong—after all, Teacher Liu looks more like a monkey.”

“Hmm, playing Goku from Dragon Ball might work, though. His physique and temperament are somewhat similar to mine.”

Today, Gao Yun’s training was noticeably off. His gaze wandered, distracted by random thoughts. He either took excessively long breaks or executed movements improperly, a stark contrast to his usual focused and diligent demeanor.

Thomas, supervising nearby, chuckled.

“Yun, let’s call it a day. I thought you really had eight ‘Go Maru’ and didn’t need rest. You’ve trained continuously for a whole month without a single day off.”

“Tomorrow and the day after will be rest days. You can scratch training off your schedule for these two days.”

Near the dumbbell rack, Clayton was doing bicep curls in front of the mirror, winking as he teased: “Does our Eight-Go Maru man get tired too? Thomas, you must be mistaken. Maybe the boss was just thinking about which girl to spend the night with. The ones in the dance room are all quite good. If it were me, I’d pick the dance instructor—what’s her name? Wang Lili?”

“Eight-Go Maru man” was Gao Yun’s new nickname, currently circulating only within the team. It originated after the team’s formation when Luo Du, to better understand Gao Yun’s physical condition for future training plans, and Zhang Ye together conducted comprehensive hospital tests covering all aspects including endocrine markers.

Possibly due to the system’s covert enhancements, every data point was impeccable, a perfect constitution comparable to a peerless genius in martial arts novels.

Among these, the endocrine marker Go Maru hormone was extraordinarily high, unlike any ordinary person, prompting Zhang Ye to exclaim: “This is a man with eight Go Maru hormones.”

Go Maru hormone stimulates muscle growth, fat burning, and brings many other benefits, including mood improvement, better sleep, enhanced libido, increased vitality, and overall physical and mental health, leading to a higher quality of life.

Go Maru hormone levels can be raised through athletic training, healthy diet, and good lifestyle habits.

Men with naturally high Go Maru hormone levels tend to have greater strength, muscle mass, and energy than average males, making them more suitable as professional athletes.
