Chapter 008: Physical Transformation

also

Due to the steep descent, coupled with the significant enhancement of Chen Jue's various attributes, it took him approximately twenty minutes to walk from the reservoir to the neighboring Linjia Village in one go

Moreover, standing on the dam, the cool morning breeze occasionally blows, carrying with it an incredibly fresh air that makes his mouth, nose, and lungs feel as if they have been thoroughly cleansed, providing an unparalleled sense of comfort

Chen Jue recalled his experiences in elementary school, which he attended at the Shannan Primary School located below Linjia Village. It was only after graduating from elementary school that he entered the secondary school in the county town.

At this time, there were still at least 2 more hours until the sun would pass over the highest peak of Leigongjian. Chen Jue took a deep breath of the fresh air blowing from the dam and began practicing his boat boxing.

Upon learning that Chen Jue was still unmarried and single, Lin Mengruo's eyes flashed with a peculiar light: "Would you like me to introduce my sister to you? She just graduated from university and is still looking for a job in the city"

Strength: 0.87

There are no automobile exhaust fumes, no dust from construction sites, and no noise from car horns; there is only the poetic scenery and the harmonious coexistence of the reservoir.

Chen's thoughts suddenly flowed like a spring, and his memories returned to his childhood days spent in the countryside

As for the proficiency in ship boxing, it has increased by approximately 31 points

At this moment, in the early morning, with ample light, Chen Jue was finally able to see the full view of the Chen Village Reservoir

She has fair and delicate skin, with light makeup on her face, and in her arms, she holds a small girl with messy hair and sleepy eyes, who appears to be about 3 or 4 years old

As expected, upon waking up the next morning at 5 o'clock, after being roused by the crowing of roosters, Chen Jue felt completely refreshed. The fatigue and soreness from the strenuous exercise the previous day had surprisingly vanished without a trace overnight

If it were not for the attribute panel of awakening, returning to the old house in the countryside and learning a set of martial arts, it is likely that Chen Jue would still be striving and fighting in Hangzhou at this moment

I am Lin Mengruo, your desk mate from elementary school. You haven't forgotten, have you? From Class 3 of Shannan Primary School

Most rural residents wake up early. Those who need to go to the city for work or school spend a considerable amount of time on the road. The breakfast shops probably only do business until around 9 o'clock, at the latest not exceeding 9:30. Chen secretly speculated in his heart, glanced at the items on the stall, ordered a bowl of sweet soy milk, a large bowl of glutinous rice, and also asked for two fried sesame balls.

"As for introducing a partner, forget it! I am not planning to get married so soon, haha." Chen Jue chuckled awkwardly and declined a few times.

So it is you! It has been at least fifteen years since we last met

Name: Chen Jue

Intelligence: 1.22

As the outline of the sun emerged from the highest peak of Thunder Peak in the distance, a wave of heat surged forth with the blinding light. Only then did Chen Jue stop his training and begin to walk down the mountain.

Is this your daughter? She is quite cute, how old is she?

I estimate that I will often come here for breakfast in the future, and I will surely encounter it again

In such an environment practicing boat boxing, Chen Jue only felt that his movements were smooth and his thoughts were highly focused

Is this kind of life something you would willingly accept

After a morning workout, both strength and agility were slightly enhanced under the stimulation of the ship's boxing, while the free attribute points accumulated to 0.05

However, this is merely his one-sided speculation; no one knows whether this attribute panel can maintain the rapid improvement it experienced in the initial stages

Agility: 0.79

Glancing at the time on his phone, it was already around 8:30 in the morning. This training session had taken more than 2 hours, during which Chen Jue also took a break and rested for half an hour on the railing at the edge of the embankment.

After finishing his wash, Chen Jue changed into the shorts, short-sleeved shirt, and sneakers he had brought, pushed the door open, and jogged up the mountain.

Age: 27

In the distance, from Huangjia Village, the occasional crowing of roosters can be heard, and wisps of smoke from breakfast cooking rise gently into the air, carrying with them the scent of burning firewood

After all, the air is freshest and cleanest in the early morning

Running briskly up the reservoir dam, Chen Jue felt that his physical strength was considerably more abundant than before. After just a few heavy breaths, his pounding heart calmed down.

It is quite normal for the elderly in the village to have short sleep durations, and it is not unusual for them to be up at this hour

Upon seeing Chen Jue, the woman holding the child immediately exclaimed, "You are... Chen Jue from Chen Village?!"

The Chen Village Reservoir is once again a place surrounded by mountains, with abundant aquatic plants, and occasionally white egrets fly by playfully, making it a natural ecological oxygen bar

During this brief period of 2 and a half hours, there has also been a leap in the panel attributes

The efficiency can be said to be almost at a take-off pace compared to before

In the past, when I worked in Hangzhou, I often stayed up late scrolling through my phone, which led to the accumulation of toxins in my liver, gallbladder, and kidneys. My complexion became dark and oily, and my urine frequently had a yellowish color and an unpleasant odor

Just after sitting down and having eaten for a short while, Chen Jue saw a rather familiar woman of the same age coming down from the second floor of the breakfast shop

He glanced again at Lin Mengru, who was feeding her daughter breakfast. From her beautiful, smiling face, he could faintly see traces of fatigue from caring for her children and the weariness of a busy life. Chen Jue was suddenly awakened in his heart: "This is not the life I want!"

It should be below the standard value in order to improve more quickly

The skill proficiency on the panel is also steadily increasing, and the same applies to the free attribute points

Let's go! Time for morning exercise!

If he continues to practice like this, it is likely that within a year, Chen Jue will become a martial arts master like those in novels

This is a joy of being close to nature that one can never experience while living in the city

Chen Jue has become somewhat infatuated with the feeling of practicing martial arts; even after a night’s sleep, he feels uncomfortable all over if he does not engage in some shadow boxing.

Previously, the training at the reservoir dam took place at night, with limited visibility, making it impossible to see the surrounding scenery in its entirety

Due to having purchased ingredients for nearly a week in the refrigerator, Chen Jue also decided not to rush to Panlong Town today. Instead, he opted to take a leisurely run around the reservoir while practicing his martial arts.

I seem to recall that my elementary school deskmate indeed had a younger sister who was like a little shadow, but it has been so long that some details are not very clear to me

Skill Mastery: [Ship Fist Lv1 (32 / 200)]

However, upon reflection, at this stage of life, discussing marriage seems to have become a commonplace matter

He is already 4 years old and very mischievous! After the summer vacation, he will be sent to kindergarten," Lin Mengruo said, while also inquiring about Chen Jue's recent situation

Listening to Lin Mengruo's complaints, Chen Jue felt so awkward that he almost dug out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes

Constitution: 1.25

After all, Chen Jue's physical condition is currently relatively weak. Aside from having a physique and intelligence that exceed the standard for adult males, both his strength and agility fall short of the standard values

As for the surface of the reservoir, ripples can occasionally be seen, which are caused by fish leaping out of the water. Occasionally, a white egret glides over the water, landing among the shallow weeds, creating a scene of peace and tranquility

He knows that this is due to having raised his physical condition to 1.25 last night

A glance at the time revealed it was already 9:00 AM, and this Lin family breakfast shop was on the verge of closing down.

In a romantic relationship, where can one find the same level of stimulation and comfort as in practicing martial arts

He has also been desk mates with Lin Mengruo for several years, which can be considered as childhood sweethearts and playmates from their youth. It is unexpected to encounter her here.

When he went to the bathroom to wash up, he also noticed that his complexion and demeanor had improved significantly compared to before he returned

However, after awakening the attribute panel, Chen Jue extinguished any thoughts of romance.

And - Picture - Book "You boys went to the city for a stroll, and one by one, you all started to adopt the late marriage trend of city dwellers. Those in our elementary school class, just like you, are almost 30 and still unmarried, and their families are urging them relentlessly..."

"Just like this physical attribute, after sleeping for a while and practicing for an entire morning, there was still no noticeable change. Once it exceeds 1 standard value, the rate of growth slows down as well," Chen Jue speculated as he hurriedly walked down the mountain.

When the time is right, find a girl with a compatible personality to marry, have children, carry on the family line, shed the label of being from the countryside, and lead a mundane life in the city

This is indeed the right place

I never expected that Lin Ruomeng, who is of the same age, has already married someone else and even has a child who can go out to buy soy sauce. One cannot help but marvel at the passage of time, as time flies like an arrow

Waking up early to relieve oneself brings comfort and prevents heatiness, and even the hair does not fall out in large amounts as it did before

This is the perfect daily routine that I long for

As he gazed at the picturesque scenery surrounding him, Chen felt a continuous sense of emotion within his heart

"Do you know me?" Chen Jue was somewhat surprised and set down his chopsticks.

However, this time returning to my hometown, I maintained a regular schedule, going to bed on time before 11 o'clock and getting up promptly at nearly 6 in the morning. Although I only slept for a little over seven hours, the oily feeling on my face has significantly diminished

Upon discovering this change, Chen Jue appeared somewhat excited, feeling that his decision last night to allocate all his free attribute points to constitution was indeed the correct choice

Chen Jue questioned himself in this manner, and for a moment, he found no answer

Assignable free attribute points: 0.05
