[Physique +1]

Lin Haoren’s untrained arms felt tired after 15-minutes of self-massage, but the result was worth the effort. Every bit of progress was like a shot of dopamine, making him incredibly excited.

However, a brief glance at the time made him furrow his brows.

12:30 am

It was getting late, but his body was too excited to sleep, despite his exhaustion. Having just acquired the system, there was a lot to explore and learn.

What to do...

Lin Haoren knew his body and health were in poor shape, and sacrificing sleep was counterintuitive to improvements.

’I’ll take a hot shower first,’ he ultimately decided, figuring it would help him sleep after.

[Engaging in self-care activity, cleaning, posture control, thermoregulation awareness: Self-Care Skill Proficiency +2, Body Management Skill Proficiency +1]

’System Bro is too awesome!’ Lin Haoren exclaimed with excitement.

Self-Care and Body Management were crucial skills for improving his physical health and appearance.

After finishing his shower, Lin Haoren changed into a comfortable set of blue pajamas and hopped into his single bed.

Although his mind was still wide awake, he forced himself to sleep, knowing that good sleep was also imperative for improving his health.

Alas, the heart was willing, but the mind was disobedient.

Lin Haoren furrowed his brows with eyes tightly shut, forcefully burying his excitement to sleep.

[Suppressing worldly distraction, entering the state of rest and restoration: Body Management Skill Proficiency +3]

Hearing the cold mechanical system prompt, Lin Haoren’s mouth curved into a smile. His heart was filled with surprise and joy.

It turns out, even sleep had its gains!

Lin Haoren didn’t dare to open his eyes. He kept them shut, and with each tick of proficiency gain, he found himself one step closer to deep sleep.

Even so, various thoughts raced through his mind while it was still awake.

Ding!

[Body Management Skill: improve health routines, physical discipline, recovery optimization, bodily awareness, and habit consistency.]

...

The following morning, Lin Haoren’s eyes snapped open at the crack of dawn and felt incredible. He had never slept so comfortably and woke up feeling so energetic.

’Wait a minute...’

Lin Haoren, feeling vaguely suspicious of the weak sunlight, checked the time on his phone.

6:00 am!

Lin Haoren’s eyes immediately widened in surprise. How could that be!

He knew he had gone to bed before 1 am last night. Thus, he couldn’t have slept for more than 5 hours. Yet he felt he had completed a full sleep cycle and more.

There wasn’t the slightest sense of morning grogginess.

Lin Haoren couldn’t help but check the system log.

[Body Management Skill has reached advanced-level proficiency, Proficiency: 2150/10000]

[Intelligence +1]

Over 2,000 proficiency points gained overnight, plus a free attribute point in intelligence. The knowledge that came with the advanced-level proficiency was naturally not missed.

All of this came from 5 hours of sleep.

’This is too incredible!’ Lin Haoren’s heart was shaken by the improvement.

As long as there was progress, he was prepared to work hard and for as long as it took to reach his goal.

However, this rate of improvement was simply too fast!

At this speed, he would be able to complete his transformation in the shortest time. His road to stardom was not that far away.

Lin Haoren was immediately motivated to work hard.

After washing up, Lin Haoren changed into sportswear and filled Oreo’s bowl with standard cat food.

"Take care of the house while I am out, Oreo."

Lin Haoren gave a few gentle rubs before heading out for a morning run.

To build up his unhealthy body, regular morning runs were a great start, according to online sources.

[Physique +1]

Lin Haoren began his morning run in high spirits, but a couple of hundred meters in, his poor condition became apparent.

His lungs burned, his chest tightened, his breathing quickened, and he felt out of breath; his legs grew heavy, like lead. Every extra step felt like an additional weight.

However, the consistent system prompts were a potent source of motivation, driving him to keep pushing his limit, even when he felt like a dying pig.

500m into his run, 1km seemed like an unreachable goal. Yet, 1km later, Lin Haoren did not stop, aiming for 2 kilometers. Then 3km.

[Spirit +1]

Lin Haoren immediately collapsed on the ground to rest after reaching his intended goal. Despite his shortness of breath, his gaze was sharp and full of spirit, and his heart was in the clouds.

Fortunately, he did not set an ambitious starting goal of 5km. 3km was just right, and achieving it gave a surprising sense of achievement.

Lin Haoren didn’t expect to find some happiness in a little accomplishment.

Life... suddenly felt good.

The winter morning was freezing cold, but Lin Haoren was drenched in sweat; his body was like a small furnace.

"Brother Lin?"

Lin Haoren’s brief moment of gleeful celebration and rest was suddenly disturbed by a sweet, yet uncertain call.

Startled, he turned his head and spotted a familiar 19-year-old lively beauty in winter sportswear, clearly the apparel of someone who was also out for a morning run in the cold winter.

Wasn’t this his pretty neighbor, Su Xiaoran?

"Ran Ran? What are you doing here?" Lin Haoren asked with surprise.

"Pftt!"

Su Xiaoran wasn’t sure at first, but after hearing Lin Haoran’s question, she couldn’t help but laugh, finding it amusing.

"That’s what I should be asking you, Brother Lin. I’ve been living in this neighborhood for six months now, and have been out for morning runs every day, but this is the first time I’ve seen you out at this time."
