Arsène Wenger, who had been silently observing from the side, was also extremely surprised, but the old man still maintained his basic composure, simply saying, "Well done," before leaving.
Since Fly came to the Kearney Training Base today specifically to undergo the Guinness official test, now that it was finished, he naturally headed back home with Taylor.
However, before leaving, Taylor gave the Guinness official staff a generous tip and thanked each of them individually.
If Taylor, being an American girl, didn't have the habit of treating people to meals, she probably would have invited this group back to her home.
Shortly after Fly and Taylor returned home, the results of the Guinness official test had already spread throughout the world.
Due to the live broadcast, many netizens learned about Fly running the 100 meters in 9.69 seconds as soon as it happened.
In an instant, a monstrous wave was stirred up across the entire internet, its power even more exaggerated than Bolt's public endorsement of Fly a while ago.
After all, Bolt's endorsement was one thing, but as the saying goes, hearing is not as good as seeing.
Before Fly ran the time he claimed in front of the public, there was never a shortage of doubts about him.
Now that the solid 100-meter result was out, Fly not only achieved the bold statement he made during his interview but even went a step further, breaking the 9.7-second barrier and becoming the third person after Usain Bolt and Tyson Gay.
At the same time, his 9.69-second record is second only to Bolt's 9.58 seconds, ranking second in human history.
Even though this result will not be certified by the International Association of Athletics Federations, as it was not run in a formal competition, it is completely sufficient for Fly's public self-validation.
At least now people believe that Fly is the second-fastest man in the world, tied, and also the only non-professional track and field athlete in the world who can break the 10-second barrier.
As long as the world has this recognition, it's a massive gain for Fly, and both fame and fortune are guaranteed.
Soon, relevant media also reported on this event, almost topping the local hot search lists on major social platforms worldwide.
Even the China, which has a wall, received the news immediately, and Weibo, Tieba, forums, etc., were instantly overloaded.
#Chinese Genius Fly Runs 100 Meters in 9.69 Seconds#
#Light of the Yellow Race, Fly Breaks the 10-Second Barrier in the 100 Meters, Shattering the Theory of Genetic Inferiority#
#Non-Black God, Fly Becomes the First Non-Black Person in Human History to Break the 10-Second Barrier in the 100 Meters#
#The Greatest Athletic Talent in Human History, Not a Professional Sprinter, Still Runs the Joint Second Best Time in Human History#
#....#
Perhaps because Fly's 9.69-second 100-meter result was truly astonishing.
The China surprisingly used hanger TV Station Channel 1 to report on it, and the 7 o'clock evening news directly allocated 20 seconds to Fly.
Solely because of these short 20 seconds, Fly's name was instantly imprinted in the minds of at least 500 million people across East Asia.
As for why there were only 500 million people, the reason is actually very simple: the vast majority of the remaining 800 million people are internet users, and these people already knew Fly's name because of Bolt.
And these newly added 500 million people are almost all elderly people in East Asia who don't use the internet; they generally get news from newspapers and television.
Now that Fly was reported by the official East Asia news, he immediately entered their field of vision.
Even though many of them might forget after watching the news, at least a considerable portion will remember Fly's name.
This is definitely a nuclear weapon level for the spread of Fly's fame in the China.
As for North America itself, major media outlets had long since spread the story of Fly running 9.69 seconds. ESPN and CNN, among others, even live-streamed the test, and many Americans watching their TV programs only then realized that their country had such an awesome figure.
This matter even reached Tyson Gay, who expressed his disbelief at Fly running 9.69 seconds on Twitter and exclaimed that it was a miracle!
Perhaps because of Taylor, many well-known artists in the American entertainment industry, such as Selena Gomez, Victoria's Secret supermodel Karlie Kloss, and Justin Bieber, who later fell out with Taylor but are currently on good terms, all tweeted to express their astonishment and congratulations.
Of course, the one that left Fly most bewildered was NBA's King LeBron James, who had just made "The Decision" this summer to take his talents to the South Beach.
LeBron James wrote on his Twitter: "Wow, my good brother, long time no see, I didn't expect you to run such an incredible 100-meter time, this is so cool! But thinking that you are the one who created this miracle, I feel it's only right. I hope we can get together next summer."
Below this tweet, there was even a photo of a still-young LeBron James during his Cavaliers days and a 14-year-old Fly.
When Fly saw this photo, he finally remembered that it was a pre-game photo with LeBron James from Game 4 of the 2007 NBA Finals.
At that time, it was less than a month before he joined Arsenal.
Fly specifically went to the Cavaliers' home court, Quicken Loans Arena, to witness Duncan's famous moment with LeBron James, which is "The future is yours."
Then before the game, Fly took a photo with LeBron James. After all, with Fly's family background, getting front-row seats to watch the game was as easy as lifting a finger.
At that time, LeBron James was already down 0:3 in the series, with no hope of winning the championship, so he played the fourth game with the mindset of not being swept, and he wasn't that nervous.
So in the photo with Fly, both of them had their expressions well-managed, at least smiling.
At that time, Fly even mischievously said to LeBron James: "LeBron, it doesn't matter if you lose this game. Anyway, you are still young, Tim Duncan is old, and the future is yours."
When LeBron James heard this, he thought Fly was comforting him, so he felt that Fly was a good person and even chatted with him with a smile for a few minutes.
It is estimated that it was because of such a photo that it appeared as if the two had a good relationship.
LeBron James just went along with it, calling him "good brother" right off the bat.
Although Fly was extremely speechless at LeBron James's move, he didn't intend to reply with a blunt "Who are you?" to make LeBron James lose face.
After all, although LeBron James has a lot of negative points and is considered a super villain by East Asia fans in later generations, "xx, xxxx" has even become a regular sentence under news related to LeBron James.
However, LeBron James's commercial value and ability to attract money are beyond doubt. As the leading star of the NBA after his elder brother Kobe, LeBron James has fans all over the world.
Whether it's his fans or anti-fans, they far outnumber other players.
For such a superstar with full traffic, Fly really has no need to make an enemy of him. After all, with this relationship with LeBron James, Fly's influence in the United States will only be greater.
So after careful consideration, Fly liked LeBron James's tweet and commented: "Okay, brother, if you don't mind, can you take me to play some brotherly basketball?"
In this life, Fly can only be considered an amateur when it comes to basketball. Although with his extraordinary physical talent, crushing amateur players is as easy as lifting a finger.
But compared to professional basketball players in the NBA, the difference is more than a hundred thousand miles.
Fly said this to satisfy his mischievous sense of humor from his previous life.
After all, as an East Asia fan, how many haven't made fun of LeBron James's memes?
In his previous life, even if Fly randomly created memes online, it had absolutely no effect on LeBron James himself, because he was of low status and spoke lightly. No matter how much he criticized LeBron James, it wouldn't have the slightest impact on him.
But in this life, a single sentence from him can cause huge waves and become the focus of media attention.
Fly wanting to use his influence and fame in this life to satisfy his mischievous sense of humor from his previous life is not a problem at all.
And when Fly's comment appeared below LeBron James's tweet, it was almost instantly pushed to the top comment within seconds.
There were also many NBA basketball fans replying below Fly's comment.
However, LeBron James did not respond for a long time, either because he was busy or he saw it but deliberately didn't reply.
Fly pouted, thinking it was boring, then put away his phone and looked at Taylor, who was smiling and fiddling with her phone next to him.
"Elder sister, who are you chatting with? You look so happy." Hearing this, Taylor leaned her body against Fly's thigh and said to him:
"I'm not chatting with anyone. It's just that your Guinness 100-meter result has topped the hot search lists on major social platforms, so I'm browsing the comment section."
Looking down at Taylor's phone screen and seeing that Taylor was frantically using a secondary account to like the comments of netizens who were praising Fly, Fly was completely speechless.
"Darling, if you like people's comments so frantically, it will just make people think you're too low. You're such a big star, constantly liking comments from ordinary netizens in the comment section, you've lost all your class."
Perhaps in his previous life, Fly felt that those celebrities who acted high and mighty were very pretentious.
But in this life, when he himself reached that position, he would also unconsciously maintain his class. He didn't want people to think he was like an ordinary person.
It can only be said that one's position determines one's thinking. Fly's current thoughts are determined by his position. Even with memories from his previous life, he cannot change the distortion of his thinking.
Upon hearing Fly's words, Taylor rolled her eyes, tapped him on the head, and said in an educational tone: "Darling, who taught you this, hmm?"
"You are a big star now, that's not wrong, but that's not a reason for you to get carried away."
"A celebrity who likes to maintain their class might have a high status and a lot of fame."
"But such a celebrity will collapse sooner or later because they cannot integrate themselves into the public."
"Being separated from the public for too long, people will have many ideas that are completely different from the public. If these ideas are accidentally spoken, it will be a crisis of collapse."
"To truly become an evergreen that remains popular for a long time, you must correct your attitude and absolutely not give people a feeling of being high and mighty."
"Only by making the public feel that you are approachable and not far from them will most of them like you and spend money on you."
"So-called class is useless. Elder sister has never cared about these things."
