I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

The entryway light was not on.

"Click." Lin Zhou turned on the light—

The light fell on the shoe cabinet, the floor mat, a few scattered shoes, and a pair of slippers that hadn't been touched in a long time.

Lin Zhou stood at the door, holding a souvenir bag from the aquarium, when a voice echoed in his mind.

"Hey bro, did you have fun with the ladies today?"

"Yes, of course I'm happy." Lin Zhou changed into slippers, put the souvenir bag on the coffee table, and sat down on the sofa.

"I'm just a little tired, I've been shopping all day."

"Brother's health has always been poor, and he has a broken bone, so he needs to take extra care of himself," the younger sister said from the side.

"Of course I know," Lin Zhou said, raising his arm to show off his muscles.

"I feel stronger! Come on, sit on me, I'll do a few push-ups!"

"No way!"

Lin Zhou picked up the bag in his hand, then put it down again; he had originally wanted to prove something.

But those commemorative bags were really lightweight, and they didn't feel like proof of strength when you lifted them.

I can't just rush into the kitchen and carry a bag of rice out; carrying it up several flights of stairs wouldn't be feasible either.

"Phew." Lin Zhou sat down on the sofa, while his sister stood behind him, massaging his shoulders. "How was that?"

Lin Zhou remained motionless and nodded. "Hmm, not bad."

His sister looked at his leg, then at his crutches, and said, "But you shouldn't run around like this while you're injured."

"fine."

"That's what my brother always says."

Lin Zhou paused for a moment.

The sunset outside the entrance hall had completely disappeared, leaving only a sliver of deep blue night outside the window. Lin Zhou's gaze fell on the floor-to-ceiling window not far away, where his figure, sitting alone, was clearly reflected.

"Nyan ga~" Merlin walked over, her tail held high as she rubbed against his leg.

Lin Zhou reached out and patted the fat cat's head.

"I'm a little tired, I'd better go upstairs and rest first." After petting the cat for a while, Lin Zhou scratched his head and decided to take a shower first.

Ye Zhiyu had already gone home to rest, so he was alone at home again.

"Then I'll help you upstairs, brother." His arm was grabbed.

"Thank you... Zhiyu." Lin Zhou got up and, with assistance, went upstairs alone.

I returned to my room.

He casually said something to his sister, then closed the door.

The room lights were off, but my phone vibrated.

He looked down and saw that it was a message sent to him by the Heartbeat app.

You have one more chance to draw a skill, log in now!

Lin Zhou looked at the screen, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Because I went out with Wanwan and others today, we had some fun and grabbed a bite to eat, so I completed all the beginner quests for everyone in batches.

You can now draw skills.

Although Lin Zhou didn't understand the concept of drawing skills, since it required completing all the beginner tasks, it shouldn't be something ordinary.

It can't be something like extracting noodles from someone's butt, right?

Ok……

Is there any need to hesitate?

[Character] [Shop] [Hypnosis] [Extraction] [Me] [? ? ?]

Lin Zhou opened the Heartbeat app and found the drawing interface—

It's a simple spinning wheel with all sorts of strange icons and an eerie pink interface. There's really no special explanation; it just gives you one chance to draw a prize.

"Hmm... Shall we just draw it?" Lin Zhou didn't care about anything else.

Let's draw!

The turntable started spinning, and the phone made a strange sound.

"Just give me a useful ability, like something like rapidly growing muscles, laser eyes, the ability to fly, or an indestructible body..."

The turntable slowed down.

A window popped up—

Heaven rewards diligence.

The screen suddenly lit up.

Congratulations to the user for acquiring the skill: Diligence Pays Off (Passive)

[Skill Description: Your efforts will be clearly rewarded.]

[When engaging in effective activities such as training, learning, and practice, you will gain corresponding attribute experience based on the time invested, intensity, and completion rate.]

[Accumulating attribute experience can improve basic attributes such as Strength, Stamina, Intelligence, and Energy.]

Lin Zhou: "..."

Does Heaven reward diligence?

Can you gain attribute points just by working hard?

Although he didn't quite understand the specific numbers, it seemed that as long as he trained, he could really become stronger.

Hard work pays off!

Every effective training session will elicit feedback from your body!

Lin Zhou looked down at his hands, slender and sickly white, his health had always been poor.

It's not that I don't want to try to improve, it's that I really can't.

He has been in poor health since childhood, and he would vomit blood if he was overly agitated. His physical education teacher looked at him as if he were some kind of glass object that could break at any moment.

While others run on campus to enjoy their youth, for him, running is a potential scene for medical malpractice, so it's inevitable that his classmates will treat it as a joke and amusement.

So over time, Lin Zhou himself accepted the fact that he was a weakling.

But things are different now.

After receiving the reward from the aquarium mission today, he could already feel his body improving.

If this skill were added...

Lin Zhou's eyes lit up slightly.

Instead, it was the first time he clearly realized that he might actually be able to change this incredibly weak body. If he were stronger, could he change many things?

He put his phone on the table and then lay down on the floor.

Let's start with the simplest one.

Sit-ups!

Lin Zhou used to be able to do about three or four, after which he would feel his stomach cramping and he would feel extremely tired.

"Huff, huff—" Lin Zhou began to do sit-ups.

One, two, three, four...

Seven...nine...

"Huff!" Lin Zhou collapsed to the floor, panting heavily. "I can't go on, I was almost able to do ten."

After doing all this, Lin Zhou picked up the phone next to him and reopened the Heartbeat app.

There is a log interface in the "Me" section.

I did 9 sit-ups and gained 20% stamina proficiency.

I did 9 sit-ups and achieved 99% strength proficiency.

power?

Lin Zhou tried again and did a sit-up. The next moment, he felt a warm current flow through his body and his muscles made a sound.

Getting excited!

Lin Zhou quickly made a few more!

Completely exhausted, Lin Zhou silently stared at the ceiling.

Good stuff, this skill is indeed good stuff. In a sense, this gives Lin Zhou some hope of improving his physique.

"Hmm?" The next moment, Lin Zhou seemed to remember something and continued to look up at the window not far away.

The windows were not closed.

That is to say-

Lin Zhou sat on the edge of the bed and silently put on the X-ray glasses next to him.

A young girl was standing in front of the window of the house across the street, silently watching her own side through binoculars.

Holy crap?

Bai Wanwan!

You saw everything!
