I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 10 10. Running skills, self-discipline, day two.

Jiang Chen got all the information about the two songs at once. He stood there in a daze for a long time before he digested and accepted these memories and made them a part of himself.

"Single Love Song"

"The aftertaste."

Jiang Chen liked both songs very much. He went out and went downstairs to have lunch in a good mood.

Just as I was about to try outdoor live streaming, my cell phone rang.

It's my mother calling.

Jiang Chen answered the call immediately: "Mom, have you had lunch yet?"

My mother immediately asked angrily: "I didn't eat it. I was so angry with you."

Are you mad at me?
Jiang Chen was confused. He didn't know what he had done. Did his mother know that he was laid off? But his mother loved him so much, shouldn't she comfort him? Why was she angry?
"Mom, I'm not mad at you."

Jiang Chen denied it.

Mom: "Did you meet that girl yesterday?"

That 31-year-old girl? The girl who was deleted within a minute of adding her as a friend?

Jiang Chen wanted to say that he had not met the person, but he made an appointment with the other party to say that they had met. It was simple and convenient, saving time and effort.

So Jiang Chen replied: "I have seen it, but it doesn't seem right."

Mom: "Of course you are not suitable for that. People say you are sloppy, can't talk, have nothing in common with others, and are stingy. Which girl would like that?"

Jiang Chen was silent for a moment.

I didn't expect the other party to say this about me...

Jiang Chen sighed: "Mom, yes, I am this kind of person, so I won't look for a partner. No girl likes me. Just take a good rest and don't worry about me."

Mom: "You're going to make me so mad at you. I won't talk to you anymore."

Snapped!
My mother was so angry that she hung up the phone.

Jiang Chen was helpless and walked into the small restaurant at the door and ordered a set meal of one meat, one vegetable and a bowl of rice. According to the system's requirements, meals must be a combination of meat and vegetables, with a balanced nutrition, and one cannot be picky about food.

After dinner, Jiang Chen went to the nearby park to exercise again. He also started an outdoor live broadcast. He fixed his mobile phone next to him, pointed it at himself, and started to exercise seriously.

There were immediately more than a dozen viewers in the live broadcast room, and they were all disappointed to see Jiang Chen working out outdoors.

"Host, I still want to hear you sing."

"Host, how many pulls can you do on the horizontal bar? I can only do one!"

"Exercise after meals, host, have you started to maintain your health?"

"Host, how about we sing a song?"

"Anchor, you are not as good as the old man next to you..."

……

Jiang Chen didn't pay attention to the comments from the audience, he just moved around at his own pace.

Horizontal bar, two; parallel bars, five; push-ups, ten; sit-ups, eight; running, 500 meters!
I worked up a little sweat and made some progress, but not much.

Jiang Chen returned to his phone and saw that there were only ten viewers online. He didn't care. He picked up his phone and walked towards the rental house, saying, "After dinner, I'm done with my exercise. I'm going back to take a nap. You guys should also take care of your health. When you get older, you need to take good care of yourself."

amount……

The live broadcast room was silent for a few seconds.

Getting older?

You don't look that old...

"Anchor, how old are you?"

Jiang Chen replied with a sigh: "I'm thirty. According to the international standards set by the United Nations, I'm already a middle-aged or elderly person!"

Several comments popped up instantly.

"Thirty is old? I didn't say anything when I was thirty-five, and I was still working as a wage earner."

"You're only thirty, stop pretending to be an old man, okay?"

"Anchor, are you starting to take care of your old age?"

……

Jiang Chen glanced at the comments for a few seconds, smiled but said nothing, keeping a happy mood. He returned to his rental house and closed the app directly, taking a short nap.

After waking up from his afternoon nap, Jiang Chen did not start a live broadcast or play games. Instead, he carefully studied this self-discipline system.

Name: Jiang Chen.

Age: thirty years old.

Physique: 5.6.

Spirit: 6.7.

Strength: 3.7.

Agility: 3.5.

Glamour: 6.6.

(The average value for normal people is 5.)
Health status: sub-health.

Days of self-discipline: 1.

Free attribute points: 0.

Skill points: 0.

XP: 100
Skills: Intermediate Programming, Intermediate Singing (20/500), Beginner Guitar (20/500), Beginner Piano.

Talent: None.

There is nothing much to study about the numerical values, they are still the same, no change.

Jiang Chen mainly studies skills.

"Since programming, singing, guitar, and piano can all become skills recognized by the system, and through practice, you can accumulate experience points and become stronger. Then can I turn other things into skills as well?"

"Cooking? Cooking? Running? Driving?"

Jiang Chen did what he thought and started to try it.

There is no kitchen in the rental house, so I can’t practice cooking.

Jiang Chen left the rental house, came to the small park again, and started jogging along the small park.

He wants to try to turn running into a skill.

Recalling the elements of running that the physical education teacher taught me when I was in school, controlling breathing, pace, and rhythm.

After running 500 meters, Jiang Chen was not as out of breath as before, so he did not stop and continued to persevere.

After running a thousand meters, Jiang Chen began to feel out of breath, but he still persisted.

After running two kilometers, Jiang Chen was sweating and panting.

At this time, the system information also appeared.

“Introduction to running skills.”

call……

Jiang Chen slowly stopped and some basic running techniques emerged in his mind. He believed that he should be able to run 3,000 meters now.

However, Jiang Chen was even more excited.

The running skill has been recognized by the system!
This proved that Jiang Chen's idea was right. As long as Jiang Chen kept practicing all the skills in life in the right way, he could turn them into skills recognized by the system, and then improve and become stronger through practice and accumulation of experience.

After stopping to rest for a while, Jiang Chen continued running. After mastering the skills, he ran more easily, and his control over breathing, pace, and rhythm also improved to a higher level.

I ran for three thousand meters in one breath before I started to pant. My body was still weak, so I couldn't run for too long in one breath.

Jiang Chen felt that he could only run 5,000 meters at most.

If he had this level of performance when he was in junior high school, he would have won prizes in winter long-distance running every year and won honors for the class...

"Gain 10 running skill experience points."

Ran three thousand meters.

Jiang Chen gained ten experience points, and he still needed ninety experience points to reach the intermediate running skill.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Chen did not add the 100 experience points he had left to running, because running was not a skill he urgently needed at the moment, and he would not develop in the field of running. There was not much significance in upgrading, so he kept the experience points for future use.

After finishing his exercise, Jiang Chen was sweating all over. He went back to his rental house to take a shower. Just as he was about to go out for dinner, he received a call from Han Qing.

Jiang Chen answered the call: "Off work?"

Han Qing said happily, "Well, I just got off work. I watched your outdoor live broadcast at noon. Are you really doing health and fitness at home?"

Jiang Chen: "Of course, I never lie! Exercise now so that you will suffer less when you are old."

Han Qing: "Hehe, you are amazing. You have even thought about what will happen when you are old. I haven't thought that far. How about having dinner together tonight? Sister Pu invited me to talk about recording the song tomorrow."

Record a song!

Jiang Chen was so immersed in practicing his skills that he almost forgot about this matter. He immediately said, "Okay! Where do we meet?"

Han Qing: "It's not far from where we live, and it's also a night market. I'll send you the location and I'll be there right away."

Jiang Chen agreed: "Okay, I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen received the location information sent by Han Qing. The distance was indeed not far, only three or four stops away, so he immediately entered the subway station!

In less than half an hour, we arrived at the destination.

Han Qing was already standing at the subway exit waiting. Next to her stood a tall woman with a ponytail and dressed in a more neutral style. She had three-dimensional senses and was not wearing any makeup, looking very energetic.

Seeing Jiang Chen coming out, Han Qing immediately waved to him: "Sister Pu, that's Jiang Chen!"

Pu Yuexi nodded, her eyes lit up, and said, "I recognized her. She looks exactly the same as she did during the live broadcast. She really is live streaming without makeup."

Han Qing smiled and said, "When he was working before, he often stayed up late to work overtime and play games. He was unkempt and not as handsome as he is now. He has not been working these few days, so he has started to clean himself up and looks cleaner and more handsome now."

Pu Yuexi: "When did he start writing songs?"

Han Qing: "He said that he was interested in it before and wrote some things here and there. He only started to organize it into a work recently when he had time."

Pu Yuexi nodded: "Many musicians are like this. They usually write down whatever ideas they have, in bits and pieces, and only start to organize them into works when they have inspiration and direction. I watched his live broadcast today, and the two songs he sang were very good. They definitely have the potential to become popular."

"His singing skills are also pretty good. It's amazing that he can sing like this without any professional practice. It shows that he has great talent. If he practices more in the future, there is still room for improvement."

Han Qing laughed and said, "Sister Pu, you analyzed it so carefully, do you want to sign him? Your small company is about to go bankrupt, right?"

Pu Yuexi shook her head and said, "I opened my own company and never thought about signing anyone. I just analyzed his strength and potential for you. If he is interested in developing in the field of singing, he has the potential to become famous in the future."

Han Qing: "Then I'll tell him about it!"

While the two were chatting, Jiang Chen had already walked up to them and greeted them: "Hello, sorry, I'm late."

Pu Yuexi generously extended her hand and shook hands with Jiang Chen: "Hello, we just arrived too. My name is Pu Yuexi, just call me Yuexi."

Jiang Chen stretched out his hand and shook it gently: "Hello, Jiang Chen, just call me Jiang Chen. Or Lao Jiang is also fine."

The three of them walked towards the night market together.

Pu Yuexi asked curiously: "Jiang Chen, have you ever studied vocal music?"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "I studied computer science in college, and only learned vocal music in music class. I heard from Han Qing that you are very good."

Han Qing immediately said, "Sister Pu is a graduate student at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. She also studied at the Beijing Central Conservatory of Music and has her own band."

Pu Yuexi hurriedly shook her head: "It's not as great as Xiao Qingzi said. The band has disbanded. Now I just hang around, compose music for some acquaintances in the circle, or occasionally save the day."

Jiang Chen: "That's amazing too!"

He knew that the Shanghai Conservatory of Music was a famous school in the field of music and art in China, and that it was more difficult to get into it than an ordinary 985 university.

After arriving at the night market and sitting down, Pu Yuexi took the initiative to ask, "I heard from Xiao Qingzi that you don't have a job now. Would you like to consider developing a career in the music industry? I can introduce you to a few management companies. With your talent, strength, and potential, you should be able to become a star."

Music circle?

Become a star in the entertainment industry?
Jiang Chen listened and shook his head: "Forget it, it's fine like this now."

Pu Yuexi smiled and said, "Want to be a professional anchor?"

Han Qing agreed, "Being a live streamer is pretty good too. It's free and you can earn a lot of money. With Jiang Chen's ability, talent, and looks, he's definitely not inferior to those top live streamers and will definitely surpass them in the future. And you don't have to worry about the attitude of the management company. Many singers are now making money through live streaming."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the situation. You don't have to be a certain profession. As long as you can earn enough money to spend on yourself, that's enough."

Pu Yuexi looked at Jiang Chen in surprise: "Oh? Your idea is similar to mine. It's enough to earn enough money to spend. Freedom is the best. Before, an agency wanted to sign me and said they wanted to package me into a top singer, but I refused. There are too many restrictions and it's not fun."

Jiang Chen nodded after listening to this. With Pu Yuexi's appearance, strength and talent, she has the potential to become a big star in the entertainment industry.

However, the entertainment industry is a big melting pot of fame and fortune...

Once you enter it, you can't help yourself.

The three of them ordered some food. Han Qing and Pu Yuexi wanted to maintain their weight, and Jiang Chen also wanted to eat healthily at night, so they ordered less and lighter food.

Pu Yuexi ate while whispering, "If you want to learn professional vocal knowledge, I can take you to Moyin to audit the class. I'm very familiar with the teachers there."

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this. Professional knowledge was indeed what he lacked at the moment. "Thank you. I'll trouble you when I have time."

The two of them also made arrangements for the preparations for recording the song tomorrow, including equipment, musical instruments, etc!
After eating until half past eight, Jiang Chen stood up and said goodbye: "It's getting late, I'm going back first. Today is my treat. Let's get together again next time when we have time."

Pu Yuexi heard from Han Qing that Jiang Chen was like this yesterday, and went back to wash up and sleep at 8:30, but she was still a little surprised and asked: "You went back to sleep?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Well, I'm already thirty years old, not a young man anymore, I need to go to bed early and get up early."

Pu Yuexi was speechless: "I am also 28 years old."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "In two years, you will be like me."

Pu Yuexi looked at Jiang Chen and didn't know what to say for a moment, because she didn't want to admit that she was old!

Jiang Chen didn't say much. He waved to the two of them, stood up to pay the bill, and walked towards the subway entrance and left.

After watching Jiang Chen leave, Pu Yuexi said to Han Qing: "Your friend is indeed a little special, but people with strength and talent are all mavericks."

Han Qing smiled and said, "For example, you? Sister Pu, do you praise yourself or Jiang Chen?"

Pu Yuexi smiled and shook her head sheepishly: "I can see that he has a rather calm personality. He likes to be free just like me. He may not be very interested in dating. If you like him, you may have to take the initiative!"

Han Qing's face turned red, but she didn't refute. She just focused on eating.

…………

Today is the second day of self-discipline.

Jiang Chen returned home and gradually began to get used to it.

I took a shower, brushed my teeth, washed my face, looked at my phone for a while, and watched a sword-breaking competition.

Go to bed on time at ten o'clock.

I fell asleep in a daze and I don't know how long it was.

Early the next morning.

When Jiang Chen woke up, he immediately looked at the system information with anticipation.

What are the rewards for the second day of self-discipline?
