My main world refreshes weekly.

"Chen Qingya!!"

"You dare drive this piece of junk with your brother? You must be itching for a beating!" Chen Ci roared, pulling out his hand covered in dish soap foam as if to hit him.

The girl, however, was prepared. She nimbly ducked under his raised arm and ran back to her bedroom, locking the door with a "click," a string of giggles escaping from the crack.

"Brother, I'm going to sleep now. You should go to bed early too. Goodnight!"

Chen Ci lowered his head and put on a cat-like face.

His sister was good in every way—smart, obedient, sensible, and considerate—but there was one thing that made him grit his teeth: she always loved to make inappropriate jokes to him, and he just didn't know how to deal with it.

Headache.

Sigh... Chen Ci sighed inwardly, washed the dishes, cleaned the table, and after washing up, went back to his room and lay down on the bed.

He had several missed calls on his phone, all from his mother yesterday afternoon. He had his phone on silent while on a mission and didn't hear them. He saw them now, but it was too late; it was too late...

Let's go to sleep!

……

The next morning, Chen Ci was woken up by his own handsome appearance.

Today is Tuesday. Dad has to go to work soon, and Mom has to take Chen Qingya to school. It's obviously not a good time to talk about things this morning.

To avoid being caught by his mother, Chen Ci tiptoed out of the house, ate a bowl of noodles at the old noodle shop downstairs, and then hailed a shared bicycle and headed straight for the sports center.

Chen Ci remembered what Jiang Wanxin had told him yesterday.

Aside from Charm, all other basic attributes below 10 can be improved through training.

I also remember Jiang Wanxin's words: "With your strength and physique, you're a 4?"

"Oh."

To this, all I can say is that all those who look down on him will only make him stronger!

Because it was still early, only seven o'clock, there weren't many people in the training ground on the basement level.

Chen Ci first warmed up on the treadmill before heading to the equipment area in the corner.

He had never worked out before. On a whim, he and Peng Yujian, who vowed to become male gods, got a membership card. Because things don't happen more than three times, they went three times and then stopped. They did almost nothing but run.

Chen Ci didn't even recognize all the equipment, so he took out his phone, found a few short fitness videos, and prepared to follow along, starting with the basic bench press.

"It doesn't look too difficult," Chen Ci muttered to himself as he looked at the video.

But when I actually tried it, I found that it wasn't like that at all!

Chen Ci only added a tiny barbell plate on each side, making it almost like an empty bar, but the difficulty still exceeded his expectations, and it was extremely difficult to push.

"Damn it, short videos have ruined me!"

While complaining, Chen Ci also displayed a strong competitive spirit.

Men are sometimes strange; they can even get into a struggle with a barbell that can't speak.

Chen Ci exerted all his strength, his delicate face turning red, and managed to push out a small group.

"One, two, three...four..."

"five."

"six!"

"Qi...Seven!!"

Not anymore!

So good, I'm going to die!

Chen Ci gritted his teeth, his arms trembling wildly, and the barbell swayed precariously in the air.

"Are you trying to prolong your life by training like that?"

A detached voice suddenly came from the side and behind.

Chen Ci turned his neck with difficulty and saw Zhou Yifeng standing at the door of the lounge. The latter's arm was still wrapped in bandages, but the cast had been removed, and he looked good and showed no signs of weakness.

Chen Ci was surprised: "Brother Zhou?"

"You're being discharged from the hospital already??"

"A minor injury." Zhou Yifeng used the same two words, his tone utterly indifferent.

Zhou Yifeng's arm was in terrible shape last night, the bone was even sticking out. Chen Ci still feels a faint pain when he thinks about it. But after just one night, Zhou Yifeng recovered as if nothing had happened... Is the madman's physical fitness so abnormal?

Chen Ci suddenly felt a little envious.

If he had Zhou Yifeng's physical strength, he wouldn't have been overwhelmed by the Ghost Bride in the latter half of the newbie dungeon.

Zhou Yifeng glanced at Chen Ci's trembling arms and said, "Your shoulder blades aren't tightened, and you're relying entirely on your arms for power. You won't develop anything from this, and it will only damage your joints."

He dislikes coaching others, especially newcomers, as it brings back bad memories.

It was only because Chen Ci performed well yesterday, and because his movements were so distorted that even a professional weightlifter would frown upon seeing them, that Zhou Yifeng couldn't stand it anymore and said a few words.

Chen Ci quickly put down the barbell, adjusted his posture, and humbly asked for advice.

"Tighten your back? Like this?"

Tighten it more.

"It's already very tight..."

"Okay, let's practice."

Zhou Yifeng gave a curt reply and returned to the lounge.

Following Zhou Yifeng's instructions, Chen Ci tried again and it was indeed much easier. Although it was still not easy, the chest, deltoid and triceps muscles worked together, and at least the movement was more stable. The feeling of muscle tension became very clear.

For the next few hours, Chen Ci practiced himself intensely.

Squats, deadlifts, presses—rest when you're tired, and continue when you're rested.

It's actually a bit addictive.

Because he clearly saw a system notification pop up in front of him:

Constitution +0.1

【Strength +0.1】

I've heard from others that beginners shouldn't go too hard on their first workout, or they'll hurt themselves.

But this thing has real-time feedback, which is incredibly addictive. If he had seen this "progress bar" when he applied for the card, he wouldn't have wasted hundreds of dollars.

He's going to enter the second instance this weekend.

It is said that apart from the newbie dungeons, most dungeons are multiplayer dungeons, and where there are people, there is conflict. His strength and constitution are both 4, which is indeed a bit lacking.

Keep practicing!

Try to get a 5 in both physical and strength stats before the weekend!

In the afternoon, Jiang Wanxin, Luo Bai, and the others arrived one after another. When they saw Chen Ci in the corner, he was having a crazy sexual encounter, and they all looked at him strangely.

"What happened to the junior?" Lin Moyan asked, puzzled.

In his memory, Chen Ci was fair-skinned and thin, and should be the same type of man as him, not someone who would work out.

"Tsk." Lu Buping clicked his tongue. "Training so hard right from the start, aren't you afraid of ruining yourself?"

Luo Bai sensed something unusual in Chen Ci's sweat-drenched figure, and said meaningfully, "Let me tell you, this kind of person is the most ruthless."

"He just became a player the night before last, and hasn't even run a single dungeon yet, but he dared to grab a wine bottle and confront Hu Hansan... Based on my vast experience of judging people, this kid is definitely a crazy beauty."

"Just like the bet with Hu Hansan, there must be a reason why he's training like this today. Maybe someone said something to him, mocking his strength and physique both being 4, etc. If he really achieves that, given this kid's personality, that person will definitely suffer a lot..."

Hearing this, Jiang Wanxin's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately squeezed her legs together.

He thought to himself, "Surely it's not that serious. She was just joking, and her tone was clearly ambiguous. Could it be that Chen Ci wants to be serious with her?"

As she pondered this, Jiang Wanxin suddenly sensed something was amiss. She turned to Luo Bai and asked, "How do you know about Chen Ci and Hu Hansan?"

This was just a minor incident; occasional friction between players is common, and it happens frequently in clubs. She didn't tell Luo Bai and the others about it.

Lin Moyan immediately thought of a possibility: "Brother Bai, did you check the surveillance footage?"

Lu Buping seemed to have thought of something, and immediately gave him a disdainful look: "Old Bai, you wouldn't be here to see some girl, would you?"

Luo Bai didn't answer, but just looked utterly captivated: "She's so beautiful."

Lin Moyan: "..."

Lu Buping: "Idiot."

Jiang Wanxin held out her hand: "Three hundred."

Luo Bai asked in confusion, "What three hundred?"

Jiang Wanxin said expressionlessly, "The cost of checking the surveillance footage is three hundred."

Luo Bai: "..."
