"I'll definitely be able to borrow another five centimeters from the sky!"
In 2004, at dusk in the summer, on a gravel road in the northeastern countryside, a thin boy of seventeen or eighteen years old was jogging panting. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, his shadow was stretched very long.
The young man seemed to have reached his limit. Big beads of sweat rolled down his face, and the back of his short-sleeved shirt was completely wet. He was still struggling to move forward, confusing the passing villagers. What was this kid trying to do?
"It's the dog days of summer. You're covered in sweat even if you don't move. Why are you running around?" A villager from a neighboring village came out of the field with a hoe. Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but stop and look around.
"Maybe he didn't do well in the exam and his parents punished him, right?" the woman on the side guessed.
"If you have the strength to shovel people's ground, you can earn dozens of dollars. What's the point of this?" When the man said this, his expression was quite regretful. It's a pity that the young man had already run away, otherwise I really wanted to give him some advice.
Lu Yan is not running around, nor is he a real young man. He is just a depressed middle-aged man who has returned to his student days.
In another time and space, Lu Yan, whose life was not going as he wished, often had sweet dreams of going back to the past, imagining that God would give him a chance to start over. He cursed and swore that he would live ten years shorter.
Clinker is actually really effective, and it also comes with a “self-improvement life system”!
But Lu Yan's first reaction was: How do I calculate my lifespan in my previous life? Where do I lose the ten years I lost?
If based on the age he was when he was reborn, wouldn't he not even live to be thirty in this life?
After a few days of worry and excitement, Lu Yan finally accepted this reality and decided not to think about the things that could not be changed for the time being, and began to study the "self-improvement life system" that is a "rebirth bonus".
The system is divided into three major sections: "Resources", "Attributes", and "Rewards and Punishments".
The first novice task he got was attribute-based: if he ran 50,000 meters within thirty days, he would get a "Second Growth Talisman" and grow five centimeters taller.
In his previous life, Lu Yan was 1.73cm tall and of medium height. He really envied those people who were over 1.8m tall and had long legs.
Although if it is 5 centimeters longer, it will only be 178, but since the novice gift packs are so amazing, there may be a chance to receive a few more in the future!
However, it is not easy to get this novice gift pack. Divide 50,000 meters by 30 days, and the average run is about 1,700 meters a day, which is a very heavy task in itself.
What's even worse is that he still has procrastination. When it came to the last day, he still had 10,000 meters left.
What should I do? I have to run even if I grit my teeth!
5 centimeters doesn’t sound like much, but a lot could happen!
Fortunately, the land at home had been shoveled. Lu Yan found an excuse to meet his classmates and went out early in the morning. He ran back and forth on the country road in the neighboring village for a day, and finally got the last bit of work done.
Won 10,000 meters.
As soon as he saw the virtual screen in front of him, the running meter was frozen at 50,000 meters, Lu Yan could no longer hold on, his body went limp, and he sat slowly on the side of the road, breathing heavily.
In 2004, there were not many vehicles passing by on the rural roads. Even if there were, they were mainly agricultural tractors. Not only did they run slowly, but they also made loud clanking noises.
As long as Lu Yan was not deaf, he could have climbed to the edge of the ditch before the car arrived. If the car also entered the ditch, there would be nothing he could do.
After being in a daze for a long time, Lu Yan came back to his senses. The first thought in his mind was that procrastination must be cured!
Only then did I get in the mood to see the reward claiming prompt on the system reward column in my mind.
With a thought in his mind, Lu Yan received the secondary development talisman he had worked so hard to obtain, and he immediately received instructions for its use.
[Second growth talisman, growth type, 5 cm, valid for use within 30 days after receiving it, can be consumed once, or can be increased little by little]
"I'll go, finally, my life won't be in vain!" Lu Yan complained helplessly.
After resting for another ten minutes, I staggered home, my legs trembling all over.
Fortunately, he still had some calculations in his mind, so he knew he would run towards home at the last moment, but he still walked more than two miles before entering his small courtyard.
My father, Lu Zhenshan, was from the north and was born in the south. He was of medium height, but his temper and voice were unusually loud. When he saw that Lu Yantian had just arrived home in the dark, he screamed, "You know what time you are coming back?"
Then he noticed that Lu Yan had a strange look on his face and was stumbling around. He took two steps forward, looked at Lu Yan and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Maybe it was because I ran hard the past two days. I walked back today to think about running a few steps, but I ended up not feeling very good at the end!"
Of course, Lu Yan's summer running was something he couldn't hide from his parents. However, since he was a child, he was a little weak, so they all agreed when they saw that he suddenly wanted to exercise.
The father also joked that he went out to feed mosquitoes when he ran in the evening! Now seeing his son's face turn pale, he couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "What kind of thing can this naughty boy do in just one day?"
The mother also said: "You silly boy, this running must be done step by step. The most important thing is persistence!"
Seeing Lu Yan looking very weak, Lu Zhenshan was really angry and distressed, and muttered: "Don't run away until you go back to school tomorrow. Let's rest for two days!"
After pausing for a few seconds, he thought about Lu Yan's grades at the moment, "The college entrance examination is one year away. When you go to college, you will be exercising or looking for a partner, and we won't care about you!"
Lu Yan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will definitely study hard when I go back this time!"
He once naively thought that academic qualifications were not important.
After hanging around in the society for more than ten years, with no results and no results, I finally realized that studying is the best way for a person from a family like him to change his destiny.
What's more, his self-improvement life system mainly relies on knowledge to upgrade in the early stage, so you have to learn everything!
The so-called one is destiny, two is luck, three is feng shui, four is accumulation of yin virtue, five is study, six are seven aspects, eight is respect for gods, nine is friendship with noble people and ten is health maintenance.
And his "self-improvement life system" is basically based on this: change your fate against the will of heaven, improve your fortune, change your family, accumulate virtue, study widely, cultivate your reputation, be in awe, make friends with noble people, and know how to maintain your health, then you can achieve great things in the world.
great deeds.
At first I was a little confused when I saw the health preservation part, but then I thought of the story of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi. I also thought of Teacher Guo’s sentence, four crosstalkers yelling at each other, if you can survive those three, you are an artist!
Having a good body is really important!
Especially when he was weak in middle age in his previous life, he once said that if there was an afterlife, he would rather lower his IQ by 1/10, but also have an indestructible kidney!
By the way, God won’t take this seriously!
But he said that Lu Yan was so tired that he had no energy, so he ate something hastily and went to sleep on the kang.
During this sleep, I slept until daylight. When I woke up, I felt even more sore in my back and legs.
I had dinner at home at noon, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, a bus passed through the village and went to the county seat.
Lu Yan packed his schoolbag and put 200 living expenses from his parents in his pocket. Under his parents' watch and instructions, he got in the car and started studying again.
It is said that many years ago in another world, when he graduated from a junior college, he must not have thought that this would not be the last time he graduated from a full-time school in his life!
