Chapter 1: People grow old before they grow old

"You have been busy in the hospital all morning, and have successfully tested out five diseases and four unqualified indicators. You are trotting all the way towards death."

At the entrance of the hospital, Wang An, carrying a bag of medicine and a stack of physical examination reports, was stunned when he saw a line of words that suddenly appeared in front of him.

In the morning, the bright autumn sunshine fell on him, which should have been warm, but at this time he felt cold all over.

"What's going on? Your body has gotten so bad that you're starting to hallucinate?"

He was thinking about whether he should go back and register as a neurologist.

In the blink of an eye, the line of words disappeared.

"Gone?"

Wang An returned to his residence in a daze, put down the things in his hands, and went to the bathroom to wash his face. Under the stimulation of the cold water, he suddenly became much more awake.

Looking up at the person in the mirror,

Baldness, pale complexion, dark circles under the eyes, beer belly, listlessness, and greasiness.

There was no vitality in his body, but rather a sense of late autumn.

He is in his twenties and looks like he is in his thirties,

People are already aging before they grow old.

Wang An came out of the bathroom, looked at the physical examination report on the table, and sighed.

Moderate fatty liver, gastritis, pulmonary nodules, cervical spondylosis, arrhythmia, tendonitis...

In his twenties, he has a body in his forties.

"Young man, you have to take good care of your health. If you continue like this, you will have problems." The doctor's original words echoed in his ears.

Is there still another problem? There is already a problem!

Wang An subconsciously picked up the cigarette case on the table, took out a cigarette and stuffed it back into it.

You can't smoke this cigarette anymore, you have to quit!

Starting today, take care of your body and restore it to a healthy state, Wang An thought.

"Task, healthy body: restore your body to a healthy state (a healthy body is the prerequisite for everything)."

Suddenly another line of words appeared in front of my eyes.

Wang An was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look and found something similar to a game panel floating in front of him.

"What is this, a cheat, a cheat?"

After some research, Wang An was able to determine that he should have gotten the kind of poorly written plug-in in the novel, or the least creative kind.

There is only one task prompt and nothing else.

There is no body attribute panel and no intelligent voice dialogue. You have to explore everything by yourself.

"Maybe my conditions are not good enough and I haven't met the requirements yet. Maybe there will be changes in the future, or maybe I am a defective version."

But in the end it is better than nothing. With this, there are many possibilities, and life will open a new chapter.

Wang An, who was excited, clenched his fists. His originally gloomy mood suddenly improved a lot. Even looking at the sunshine outside, he felt that it was exceptionally bright.

Just then the phone on the table rang.

Wang An glanced at the name displayed on the phone, with a look of boredom in his eyes. He didn't answer, but the phone kept ringing. The caller seemed to have something urgent.

"Hello, manager." Wang An took a deep breath and picked up the phone.

"Hey, Wang An, come to the company to work overtime tonight. You also know that this project is urgent, so hurry up!"

Upon hearing this call, Wang An felt a burst of anger for no reason.

Work overtime, work overtime, you know how to work overtime!

"I took a day off. I have something to do tonight."

"Everyone is here. I can't do it without you. You also know that this project is related to the quarterly award.

Also, our company is currently considering optimizing positions and may lay off some employees, which is being discussed above..."

The manager on the other end of the phone was still chattering.

Grass!

Wang An decisively hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy signal on the phone, the manager on the other side of the phone was stunned.

"How dare this guy hang up on me?!" I called again, but the other party didn't answer the call.

"Okay, you kid, just wait for me. When you get back to the company, we'll see how I deal with you!"

He has decided to find a way to deduct Wang An's bonus this month, and even deduct his quarterly bonus!

After hanging up the phone, Wang An leaned on the sofa and looked at the ceiling.

"I have to change my job."

Working overtime day and night, with a salary that is not very generous, is taxing my body.

Wang An didn't want to give all his hard-earned money to the hospital.

He is still young and has unlimited possibilities in the future.

He has not bought a house yet, has not incurred a heavy mortgage, is not married yet, and does not have to worry about his wife and children. All he cares about are the two old people thousands of miles away.

After working for more than four years, I lived frugally and had some savings. I originally planned to use it as a down payment to buy a house, but with the current housing prices in Hu'an City, it was still not enough.

With these savings, even if I resign, my life will be fine within a few years as long as no major accidents occur.

"That's it. I'll resign and go tomorrow. I can take my time to find a job, but my health can't hold me back any longer. If I really can't find it, I'll go back to my hometown."

After making up his mind, Wang An felt much more relaxed.

I poured a glass of water and came to the desk.

Next, you have to consider how to adjust your body. This is not just to complete the task, but for yourself.

Wang An picked up his notebook and pen.

First of all, bad habits must be changed. Smoking, drinking, eating takeout, staying up late... these must all be changed.

Secondly, we should strengthen physical exercise on weekdays.

You also need to eat healthily, work properly, and get enough sleep.

Wang An listed everything he could think of.

Gurgling, my stomach growled, I had acid reflux in my stomach, and there was a slight burning pain.

Wang An looked up at the time. It was time to have lunch at this time.

If it were normal, he would be at the company right now, eating takeout from outside.

Chicken chop rice, rice noodles, a set meal, or a high-calorie burger or fried chicken. The taste is decent, but it's too high-end for him to order.

High oil, high salt and high fat,

If you work overtime at night, you will most likely order takeout.

Meals of takeaways gave him gastritis and fatty liver disease, and irregular work schedules and overtime work gave him cervical spondylosis, irregular heartbeat, and tendonitis.

Wang An came to the refrigerator door and opened it.

There are eggs, rice, beer, cola, and a few apples that have begun to rot. There is no meat or vegetables.

"Just a makeshift meal? No, we can't make do."

Wang An threw all the rotten apples in the refrigerator into a garbage bag, cleaned the refrigerator again, and went downstairs carrying the garbage bag.

He went to the supermarket closest to his residence and purchased some fresh vegetables, fruits, and a fish.

Go back to your residence and start cooking.

It's been a long time since he cooked a decent meal.

First, steam a pot of rice, wash the fish, cut it with a knife, season it slightly, put it in the pot and steam it; then fry a green vegetable.

He learned his cooking skills from his grandma. He hasn't used them for a long time and has become a bit rusty.

In less than half an hour, lunch was ready. Wang An felt slightly hot and sweating.

"You made a so-so lunch, at least it's better than the takeout I had before."

The prompt appears again.

"Is it so-so? After all, I am eating healthier."

"How does it taste? Well, it seems too bland."

He was used to eating takeaway food with heavy flavors, but when he ate his own food, he always felt that there wasn't enough oil and salt in it, making it tasteless.
