It was already half past ten after taking a shower. After playing with his mobile phone for a while, Lin Ze fell asleep. He wanted to try to see what sleep was like in the game.
As a result, it was morning when I opened my eyes.
"It feels almost like sleeping in reality."
Wash up, change clothes, go out for a run, and continue to do push-ups, sit-ups and squats in groups when you come back.
In this way, Lin Ze lived a regular life in the game. During the day, he followed a daily plan to exercise, and at night, he wandered around the city to familiarize himself with the environment. Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, his physical fitness increased by 3 points, reaching 15.
With the improvement of his physical fitness, Lin Ze clearly felt that his strength, stamina and reaction speed had increased. The most intuitive change brought about was that the time required to complete the daily exercise plan was greatly reduced.
On the contrary, the time required to improve one point of physical fitness also shows a gradual increasing trend, from 1 day, 1 and a half days at the beginning, to 2 days, 3 and a half days later.
So when the game time reached the 9th day, Lin Ze simply decided to increase the intensity of exercise and doubled the requirements of the daily plan.
Thinking of doing it, he started implementing a new exercise plan that day.
When it took him just over two hours to complete the 20-kilometer distance, a line of text suddenly popped up in front of him.
[Congratulations to the player ‘Crow’ for achieving the achievement ‘Running 100 kilometers’ and earning 5 points]
Lin Ze was stunned for a moment, and then the joy flashed across his face.
"I see, this is what is called achievement!"
“But the reward points are a bit small.”
You must know that he stayed in the game for 9 days and spent a total of 18 points, and the achievement only rewards 5 points. Obviously, achievements alone are far from enough to support the consumption of redeeming game time.
"But that's right. The purpose of the game itself is to help players become stronger and encourage players to hunt monsters. Naturally, the points you can get for achievements will not be too many, and the bulk of them will have to go to hunting monsters."
Shaking his head, Lin Ze turned around and walked towards the apartment, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Since running has achievements, then push-ups, sit-ups and squats should also have corresponding achievements. It is probably the same as running, as long as you complete a certain number, you can achieve it!"
"I just don't know how many to make, 1,000? 2,000?"
Lin Ze's thoughts were racing, and his heart gradually became excited. The appearance of his achievements gave him another layer of motivation to exercise, and he couldn't wait to return to his apartment to continue exercising.
In the following time, he was completely immersed in the exercise.
Not surprisingly, as the intensity of exercise increases, the rate of physical fitness improvement also increases.
After just two days of training, his physical fitness improved to 16. However, it took four days to improve to 17.
"The further you get to the back, the more exercise you need for every 1 point your physical fitness increases."
In the stuffy apartment, Lin Ze was doing push-ups and counting silently in his mind.
"33,34,35"
The upper body, whose muscles were beginning to appear, was dripping with sweat, soaking a large piece of the tatami beneath him.
When he finished the 40th one, Lin Ze released his supporting arms and turned over to lie on his back on the tatami. Before he could calm down his breathing, a line of text suddenly popped up in front of his eyes.
[Congratulations to player ‘Crow’ for achieving the achievement ‘Standard push-ups 2000 times’ and earning 5 points]
After glancing at the text, Lin Ze's face showed joy, but he did not stop his movements, but continued to do sit-ups, and then squats.
After completing the last set of exercises, he successfully received the reminder to achieve the achievements of 'standard sit-ups 2000 times' and 'standard squats 2000 times', and received a total of 10 points.
"Sure enough, all exercise items have corresponding achievements. As long as you complete a certain number of exercises, you can get achievements and point rewards."
Lin Ze was breathing heavily, with a look of deep thought in his eyes.
"And normally, there is usually more than one achievement like this, but the number increases gradually, and there are multiple achievements later, such as running 1,000 kilometers, running 10,000 kilometers, etc."
Achievements don't earn many points, but at a time when points are scarce, their importance is self-evident, and he must find ways to discover more achievements.
"In addition, every time your physical fitness increases, the intensity of exercise must also increase. Only in this way can you make the most efficient use of your time." Lin Ze's thoughts raced, setting the tone for his exercise in the future.
After resting for a while, he got up to take a shower. When he came out of the bathroom and passed the mirror in the corner of the living room, he suddenly let out a startled sound, stopped and looked at the mirror, his brows gradually furrowed.
"Has your hair gotten a little thinner?"
He stretched out his hand and gently pulled off his hair. He opened his hand and saw seven or eight hairs lying quietly in his palm.
"What's going on? Is the hair loss so serious?"
After standing in front of the mirror and studying for a while, Lin Ze had a worried look on his face. He soon remembered that this was in a game, and no matter how much hair fell, it would not affect his body in real life, and he felt relieved.
Returning to the coffee table, he sat down, took out his diary, and began to think about it.
I remember that when I first entered "Exercise Diary of a Strong Man", a prompt to explore the game world appeared on the mirror. Obviously, in addition to "exercise to improve physical fitness," this game world has more things that need to be discovered.
From Lin Ze's own understanding, besides running, push-ups, etc., there are other things that can make players stronger.
Therefore, recently, in addition to daily exercise, he also took time to wander around the city just to explore new things. Unfortunately, he has not gained anything so far.
"Maybe the way I explore is wrong, I should look for it more purposefully!"
Lin Ze tapped his forehead, with a thoughtful look on his face, and began to recall all the information he had come into contact with before and after entering the game, and finally locked in the character's identity.
He turned to the second blank page of the diary and wrote down the three roles on it.
Fitness enthusiast, bachelor with small assets and Taekwondo student.
Then there are the corresponding rewards.
Physical fitness +21 million yen and mastery of basic fighting level 1.
"In fact, both physical fitness +2 and 1 million yen can be achieved through one's own efforts. The former is exercise, the latter is work, and by analogy, basic fighting should also be mastered through learning."
"Just how to learn?"
Lin Ze tapped his finger on the diary page, slowly moved down, and landed on the words "Taekwondo student", his eyes gradually brightened.
"Taekwondo Gym!"
He immediately took out his mobile phone and searched online, and sure enough he found several famous Taekwondo gyms.
Choosing a Taekwondo gym with the best reputation and not far from the apartment, Lin Ze wrote down the address and planned to go there and take a look tomorrow.
