April 15, 2023, Saturday, cloudy turning sunny, 8~22°C, strong UV index, beware of sunburn.
At 6:00 AM, the sun rose slowly, casting a warm, red glow across the sky.
"Ding-dong—"
[China rchants Bank: Your account ending in 6800 received a deposit of 200.00 yuan on April 15th at 06:02.]
Tang Song leapt out of bed and neatly folded his quilt. He opened the system interface and checked his personal information.
[Height: 180 cm, Weight: 81.1 kg]
Overnight, his body naturally tabolized 0.5 kg, a normal range.
Only 0.1 kg away from the target! After acquiring the system, this was his first task, and it ca with a body-enhancing potion as a reward!
Suppressing his excitent, Tang Song rushed to the bathroom.
Soon, the clear system notification sounded in his ears.
"Ding! Congratulations, player. The challenge task [Restraint and Perseverance] is complete."
A faint light screen appeared, and lines of text jumped out.
[Reward settlent in progress…]
[Over the past 14 days, you have steadfastly pursued your weight loss goal, never wavering, practicing strict self-discipline, and successfully losing 9 kilograms, restoring your body to a normal weight range.]
*[You have earned a special item: Lung Strengthening Potion 1]
[During the completion of the task, you did not blindly pursue rapid weight loss but maintained a healthy and reasonable diet and routine, fitting the self-discipline of a heartthrob, triggering a hidden reward.]
*[You have earned: Primary Body Optimization Potion 1]
He unexpectedly triggered an additional reward!
Tang Song took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitent.
Entering the system warehouse, he saw two potion bottles glowing faintly red, lying quietly.
Checking the item details.
[Primary Body Optimization Potion]: Upon use, it gradually optimizes body proportions, slightly adjusting bones, muscles, and fat to make the body look more balanced.
"Aweso!" Tang Song exclaid, a bit at a loss for words, resorting to expressing himself with a Chinese exclamation.
A person's body proportions are a genetic lottery, fixed at birth, and almost impossible to change later. Balanced and proportionate body proportions can make one healthier, more energetic, balanced, and attractive, enhancing the appearance of clothes.
Tang Song's height was decent, but his proportions were just average, with many flaws such as a short arm span, narrow shoulders, and slightly short shin bones. Although this was only a primary potion, the effect was still worth looking forward to.
Finishing up in the bathroom, Tang Song washed his hands thoroughly and sprinted out at a hundred-ter dash speed. Standing before the full-length mirror, he took a few deep breaths. His body trembled slightly, unable to control his excitent.
Calm down! Calm down!
Next was the mont to witness a miracle!
He selected the [Primary Body Optimization Potion] and used it imdiately.
"Whoa!" Suddenly, a cool and refreshing liquid appeared in his mouth, very tasty.
Tang Song didn't have ti to savor it before swallowing it with a gulp.
Gradually, a cool sensation spread from his throat to his stomach, like eating a concentrated mint candy.
After waiting quietly for a while, he saw no significant change in the mirror, as the description suggested it needed ti to take effect.
Next, Tang Song's gaze fell on the other item.
[Lung Strengthening Potion]: Upon use, it effectively improves lung condition, increases lung capacity, provides sufficient oxygen for the body, enhances resistance, promotes tabolism, 2 Physique, 1 Endurance.
After all his efforts and suffering, this was what he aid for.
Without hesitation, he used it imdiately.
Again, a liquid was suddenly stuffed into his mouth, though the taste was much stronger, reminiscent of cough syrup.
The liquid slid down his throat into his esophagus. A faint warmth spread inside him.
His body felt lighter, his heartbeat slowed down.
Breathing beca stronger and smoother, with his chest and lower abdon warming up slightly.
The comfortable sensation made him close his eyes involuntarily.
Over half an hour later.
"Breath in—breath out—" Tang Song silently felt the changes within him.
He had long suffered from minor chest tightness, shortness of breath, and a cough due to prolonged irregular sleep and work schedules. This was his biggest obstacle to weight loss exercise.
Now, all those issues were gone. His breathing was strong, easy, and smooth.
He felt his lungs expand more fully during deep breaths, allowing more fresh air and quicker gas exchange.
Opening his personal information panel.
[Player: Tang Song (29')]
[Role: Jinxiu Comrce - Developnt Engineer]
[Height: 180.5 cm, Weight: 81 kg]
[Physique: 59, Endurance: 56, Agility: 50, Comprehension: 76]
"Hmm?" Tang Song was slightly stunned, instinctively rubbing his eyes.
2 Physique, 1 Endurance, and Charisma reached 29—all expected.
But his height had increased by 0.5 cm!?
A flash of inspiration hit him, and his heartbeat accelerated again.
[Primary Body Optimization Potion] was more powerful than he imagined. The so-called body proportion adjustnt directly lengthened his body.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Tang Song felt his lower legs were indeed a bit longer, and his shoulders seed broader.
This was the biggest surprise!
Among the girls he was currently interacting with, Zhao Yaqian was 180 cm tall, and Xie Shuyu was about 175 cm tall—both quite tall.
Standing with them brought a lot of pressure.
Now, it seed he might indeed grow taller at 25!
Excitedly doing a few high jumps, Tang Song changed into quick-dry clothes and started his daily fasted cardio.
He couldn't wait to experience the optimized lungs' full power.
...
The April morning air was moist, and the sunshine was bright.
The community was filled with a faint scent of acacia flowers.
"3, 2, 1, GO! Start outdoor running!"
His breathing rhythm was steady and smooth, perfectly synchronized with his steps.
His steps were lighter and stronger, his stamina significantly improved.
By the latter part of the run, although his physical function still declined rapidly, he no longer had difficulty breathing or gasping for air.
These were undoubtedly super healthy lungs, highly efficient and vigorous, full of vitality.
"You have run 5 kiloters!"
As the app's voice broadcasted, Tang Song slowly slowed down and stopped running.
Feeling his body, he noticed he wasn't as fatigued as usual.
He even felt he could continue for another one or two kiloters.
Taking his phone from his armband, he checked his exercise track.
A total of 5 kiloters, with an average pace of 5'58", taking about 30 minutes.
Breaking the 6-minute pace for the first ti!
And this was without fully adapting to his body's changes.
With imnse excitent, Tang Song jogged into the breakfast shop by the community's south gate.
He ordered a basket of fresh at buns, an egg sandwich, and a bowl of spicy soup, plus a small plate of free pickles.
One whole at bun, a chopstick of pickles, a sip of spicy soup. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ N()velFire
Carbohydrates, fats, peppers, and spices exploded in his taste buds.
"This is so delicious!" Tang Song's eyes filled with tears of joy.
The boss's wife, who was cleaning the table, saw this scene and thought this young man was incredibly handso!
