Imdiately, a familiar ga interface appeared on the lightscreen. In the center of the screen was a lifelike 3D model of Tang Song, wearing only a pair of shorts. Above his head floated a striking golden stat: Charisma: 24.
Tang Song rubbed his eyes hard, suspecting he was hallucinating due to fake alcohol and his extre sadness. However, the light screen remained floating in front of him, visible even with his eyes closed.
"Heartthrob Simulator," though primarily a simulation managent ga, was essentially a ga about cultivating a heartthrob. The main objective was to increase the ga's character charisma and beco a true heartthrob. The ga had a very comprehensive charisma rating system, including looks, aesthetics, deanor, cultivation, abilities, assets, social status, and more.
A charisma score of 24 was quite ordinary. Tang Song raised his hand, wanting to touch his character model. As soon as the thought arose, a clicking effect appeared on the model, and the ga interface directly switched to the Personal Center.

After a brief browse of his personal information, a crisp notification sounded: "Ding! The main storyline has begun."
A splendid progress bar appeared at the top of the Personal Center with nine evenly distributed nodes.
[24' (Starting Charisma)…30º…40º…50º…60º…70º…80º…90º…100º]
Starting from "30," each node had a swaying golden treasure chest above it, seemingly waiting to be claid.
Story Summary: When the player's charisma score reaches a certain threshold, corresponding assets and privileges will be unlocked in reality.
Note 1: Perhaps your achievents in the ga are not illusory. Continue completing system tasks and improving yourself to receive the rewards you've always dread of.
Note 2: When your charisma score reaches 30, you can officially start the "Growth Plan Task."
"This... is this?" Tang Song stared blankly ahead. Having played "Heartthrob Simulator" for so long, he had, of course, dreamt of sothing like this, and more than once. But it had never been so clear and real. If he could, who wouldn't want to transform glamorously? A heartthrob's looks, a healthy and energetic body, wealth to spend freely, and a life without regrets...
He wanted it. He dread of it!
Tentatively, he used his mind to lightly touch the treasure chest above Charisma 30. A system prompt imdiately popped up:
[You are 6 charisma points away from unlocking this stage reward. Go improve yourself!]
At this mont, another notification sounded: "Ding! Congratulations, player. You have received [Newbie Gift Pack *1]." A golden gift pack appeared, dazzling and beautiful.
Tang Song swallowed, touching it with his mind. The gift pack shook a few tis and then opened.
"Ding! You have obtained the passive skill [Heartthrob Aura (LV1)]."
[Heartthrob Aura (LV1)]: Optimizes sleep quality, helps the player quickly enter deep sleep, and provides a good sleep experience.
(Aura Effect: Your first smile each day earns you a cash reward of 200 yuan, with a 0.1% chance of an additional critical reward.)
[Note: This skill can be upgraded.]
Passive skill? Cash reward?
Suppressing his excitent, Tang Song took a deep breath and forced a smile.
"Ding-dong," the SMS notification sounded on his phone.
"[China rchants Bank] Your account ending in 6800 received a deposit of 200.00 yuan on April 2 at 00:09."
Seeing the bank notification, Tang Song gasped. Holy sh*t! Is this for real!? He bit his lower lip hard. The pain was unprecedentedly intense. Everything before could be dismissed as hallucination, but the tangible cash reward firmly validated the system's existence.
Blood rushed to his head, and the sound of his intense heartbeat echoed in his ears like a drum. Not to ntion the imnse ga assets he gained by cheating, even just the passive skill Heartthrob Aura could significantly boost his happiness.
Even without working, he could earn 200 yuan daily, totaling 6,000 yuan a month. Combined with his 8,000 yuan monthly salary, he would have a total monthly inco of 14,000 yuan. In Yan City, a second-tier city, that would make him a high-inco individual, making buying a car and house not just a dream!
...
After a quick shower and locking his door, a calm Tang Song began exploring the system interface in front of him. The overall style was consistent with "Heartthrob Simulator," but many modules were missing, such as the crucial Character Managent, Asset Blueprint, Financial Market, and others. Mission Hall, Mall, and Warehouse were all empty. The entire system seed vacant.
Returning to the main interface, Tang Song looked at the glaring Charisma: 24 above his character's head and shook his head self-deprecatingly. In "Heartthrob Simulator," the characters created by players started with a charisma value of 30. But now, he hadn't even reached this basic value.
Closing the system interface, Tang Song stood before the full-length mirror, seriously examining himself. His body was flabby, with a ring of fat around his stomach. Dark circles under his eyes, puffy eye bags, dull yellow skin, and dry, frizzy hair. Nasolabial folds, sagging cheeks, double chin—the fat on his face blurred his jawline. In terms of appearance, there was ample room for improvent.
Considering his current situation—an ordinary company employee, without a house, car, or girlfriend, and a ssy life—it was no wonder his charisma score was so low.
"Ding! You have triggered the challenge task [Restraint and Perseverance]. Please go to [Task Center] to view."
Tang Song was stunned, not expecting to trigger a task so easily. He checked the task information.
[Task Content: Obesity greatly burdens the body and increases the risk of various diseases. Challenge: Lose 9 kilograms in 20 days to return to a normal weight range.]
*[Task Reward: Lung Strengthening Potion 1]
[Task Progress: 0%]
He viewed the item details.
[Lung Strengthening Potion]: Effectively improves lung condition, increases lung capacity, provides sufficient oxygen for the body, enhances physical resistance, promotes tabolism, Physique 2, Endurance 1.] Thɪs chapter is updated by noveⅼfire
[Note: What's the secret to longevity? Keep breathing and don't stop.]
A ga item that increases basic attributes!
Tang Song's eyes sparkled with excitent. Lose weight! He had to lose weight! Losing 18 jin in 20 days ant about 1 jin per day. Fortunately, his weight was relatively high, making it easier. He had made many resolutions to exercise, lose weight, and maintain a disciplined lifestyle before. But he always gave up after a few days. Ultimately, it was due to a lack of motivation and willpower.
Now, with ga assets manifesting in reality, providing him with a clear, success-oriented main storyline for his life, what reason did he have not to strive?
Besides losing weight, he also needed to improve himself in other ways. He needed to raise his charisma score to 30 as quickly as possible, earn the first stage reward, unlock the main storyline, and start a new chapter in his life!
