Chapter 10 – Episode 10
Jinseong looked down.
White color. Nike logo. Neatly tied ribbon string.
I’m wearing new shoes. These were the sneakers that Ha-yeon Park gave as a gift.
The corners of the mouth that had ascended high into the sky had no intention of falling down.
“Is it that good?”
“Yes, yes, it’s really, perfect. Thank you so much for the gift. I will wear them gratefully.”
“Aren’t you so happy? “It’s the first time I’ve seen someone so happy, like a child who has the whole world in just one shoe.”
“I’m really happy. Actually, I wanted to buy sneakers. Well, I couldn’t buy it because I couldn’t afford it. “I’m happy to receive the gift.”
Thank you.
I was doubly happy because it was my first time receiving mid-priced sneakers as a gift.
I was triple happy because it was a gift from the goddess Park Ha-yeon.
“It’s something I will live to see for a long time. She also receives sneakers as gifts from beautiful women.”
“Obahagi.”
“Hehe, she got a gift from a beautiful woman?! It was a successful life. “Now I’m so happy that I won’t have any regrets even if I die.”
“Phew, funny testimony.”
Jinseong’s appearance makes him happy even though he doesn’t like him.
The corner of Park Ha-yeon’s mouth slightly turned up.
She was grateful for the gift. I think she was good at giving gifts.
Her mood also improved.
“Let it be known with glory.”
“Yes, of course. “I will consider it an honor, no, an heirloom.”
“Ah… ! Real testimony…”
Ha-yeon Park covered her mouth with the back of her hand.
I let out a light laugh.
[Likeability: 51]
[Likeability: 52]
[Likeability: 53]
[Likeability: 54]
[Inner thoughts: Honestly, I was the worst pig at first.]
[Inner heart: The more I experience, the more I feel like I’m a perfect pig.]
[Inner thoughts: I think I know why my dad is so kind to pigs.]
∴∴∴
I wore sneakers at the gym.
I smiled happily.
‘The shoes are good.’
It is comfortable to wear and has excellent cushioning.
‘As expected, the quality seems to be the best.’
Before exercising, I checked her weight.
I wrote it down on my cell phone notepad.
[Week 5]
[0.2 kg loss on day 29]
[Total weight loss of 11.1 kg]
[Current weight 83.9 kg]
I lost weight today too. Finally, she dropped below 84 kg.
These days, I have consistently lost about 0.1 kg to 0.2 kg even if I don’t do it every day.
It was like losing at least 1 kg per week.
‘Hehe, that’s good.’
The status window was opened.
[Yoo Jin-seong (24)]
[Specialty: Exercise (D)]
[Stamina: + 7.0]
[Points: 0]
His athletic talent was on the verge of promotion to Class C.
I think I will be promoted to C grade within three days at the latest.
‘How helpful will it really be? I’m really looking forward to it.’
I hope I get to C grade quickly.
Even D grade is helping me a lot without knowing it.
I don’t know about C grade, but it will be incredibly helpful.
And physical strength.
[Stamina: + 7.0]
I bought and took a stamina pill that earns points.
As a result, I was able to take Stamina Palpal 70 times.
Stamina +7.
This figure was equivalent to 35% of the physical strength of an adult male.
I added my existing physical strength + the physical strength I increased through exercise + 7.0 physical strength.
‘I feel like I’ve become a physical monster.’
Jinseong, who suffered from chronic lack of physical strength, no longer existed in the world.
Even if I worked all day and exercised at night, it wasn’t that hard anymore.
Rather, I still have a little stamina left.
‘Hmm, should I stop eating to gain strength? I have so much stamina that I don’t think I need to eat.’
I was worried.
‘Actually, if you exercise, your physical strength will naturally increase. If you lose weight, your physical strength will be drastically reduced.’
Physical strength will naturally increase.
I wanted time to turn me into a physical monster.
‘Hmm, okay. Just 100 times. Let’s exercise our stamina up to 100 times, no more, no less.’
There were two main reasons.
One. Physical strength is the power of a nation. The more physical strength I had, the better.
Two. Episode 70 was an odd number. I just wanted to guess the number 100 times.
Some may think that this is a very inefficient reason.
Some people choose physical strength over their hair…
Some people choose stamina over height…
Another person chooses height over good looks…
You might think, ‘Wow, that’s really inefficient.’
But what can we do?
People were not always efficient. It is surprisingly inefficient to the point of being foolish.
An achievement has been created.
[Achievement 29]
[One. Run for at least 1 hour.]
[2. Jump rope more than 500 times.]
[3. Squat at least 300 times.]
[Reward: 40 points]
Achievement difficulty increases day by day.
Compensation also increased little by little.
‘Let’s get started.’
I warmed up my body by stretching. I ran hard. I turned the jump rope. Squats were screwed. I finished with light strength training.
There was a gaze that looked at Jinseong with a keen eye.
‘… ‘A pig is a human?’
It was Park Ha-yeon.
‘… Does that make sense? ‘Your physical strength increases so much in just one month?’
I stayed away from exercise.
It was Jinseong who lived a life of fatigue. Even running for 3 minutes was difficult. I don’t know how beautiful my body was.
However, Jinseong showed no signs of fatigue at all. She took it easy for an hour of running. There is no hesitation in jumping rope.
‘… I feel like I’ve been exercising for two, no, three months.’
In Park Ha-yeon’s opinion, Jin-seong’s increase in physical strength was abnormal.
Her dry sponge looked like it was absorbing water vigorously.
‘… But, I’m worried. Will it be okay? Doesn’t it look too over-the-top?’
There is a saying, too much is too little. It’s good to work hard, but I was worried that something might go wrong.
If you overdo it, your body will get hurt.
Of course, it was a pointless concern. Jinseong had a period of success, and if used appropriately, there was no problem.
‘But, I keep cheering for you.’
Ha-yeon Park was the daughter of Man-bok Park.
Park Man-bok greatly liked people who worked hard, were sincere, showed enthusiasm, and worked hard.
Ha-yeon Park followed her father’s genes and way of thinking.
In a way, it is natural to have eyes on Jinseong, to be concerned knowingly or unknowingly, and to be rooting for Jinseong without knowing it.
“Please lower the intensity of your exercise. “I’m hurt.”
“Huh, huh, it’s okay. I can do it.”
“Fool. If you overdo it, you’ll get burned. It’s good to exercise in moderation.”
Jinseong glanced at Park Ha-yeon.
“Are you worried about me now?”
“What? No? “You weren’t worried?”
“Thank you.”
“Sir, why are you smiling all of a sudden? “Don’t laugh.”
“All right. “I’ll do it in moderation.”
Actually, it’s a lie.
Do you want to do it appropriately?
‘I have to work harder.’
There wasn’t even an eye blemish.
‘Still, I’m grateful.’
I was also proud.
It was strangely nice to know that other people cared about me.
The fact that the target was Park Ha-yeon was an even more pleasing factor.
“Thank you. “For taking care of me.”
She just said thank you.
Just a word of thanks.
[Likeability: 55]
Park Ha-yeon’s likeability has increased.
∴∴∴
After beating her achievement, I received 40 points as a reward.
She bought and took 4 stamina pills from the store.
[Stamina: +7.4]
She licked her lips with regret.
‘It would be nice if I could clear 2 or 3 achievements a day…’
Unfortunately, only one achievement is created per day.
‘Anyway.’
What if you fill up your stamina 100 times?
‘What item should I buy next to gain stamina?’
What should I do next to improve my physical strength?
Hair thickness? Handsome? Skin? Muscular strength? Agility? Key? Genitalia? Weight? Brains? Luck? Talent? Resilience?
There were countless choices.
‘I don’t know.’
It wasn’t an easy decision.
‘It’s all just what I need.’
In my mind, I wanted to buy everything.
‘I still have a lot of time, so I’ll think about it slowly.’
A KakaoTalk message came from Lee Ji-seong.
[Lee Ji-seong: Are you busy?]
[Me: No. I just came home after working out.]
[Lee Ji-seong: Really? I’ll give you the woman’s phone number. Please contact me.]
[Me: Oh, yes, I understand. Thank you.]
[Me: But, it’s late. Is it okay if I call you?]
[Lee Ji-seong: Oh, he said it was okay.]
[Lee Ji-seong: You’re a good girl, so do your best.]
I was about to write ‘Yes, thank you.’ When the picture arrived.
[Lee Ji-seong: photo]
[Lee Ji-seong: Photo]
[Lee Ji-seong: photo]
[Lee Ji-seong: This is a photo of a woman.]
[Lee Ji-seong: How are you? Isn’t it pretty?]
[Lee Ji-seong: Honestly, if I hadn’t gotten married, he would have seduced me.]
I touched the photo. Confirmed the beauty.
“Uh? Oh?!”
To be honest, I was quite surprised. As Lee Ji-seong said, she was quite pretty.
She was a puppy dog woman. She looks pretty, cute, and gentle.
Light makeup created a cute, unspoiled image.
“Wow, it’s cute.”
[Me: Brother, you’re gorgeous. I like it so much.]
[Me: But, will such a pretty girl really like me?]
[Me: Do you think it will be popular? I don’t think there’s any reason to like me.]
Sent a message.
[Lee Ji-seong: Don’t worry.]
[Lee Ji-seong: A man is confident. Be confident. Women don’t look at their appearance as much as you think.]
[Lee Ji-seong: When we meet, if you dress neatly, respond well, and follow manners, you will eat half of the food.]
[Me: Okay. Thank you.]
[Lee Ji-seong: Yes, fighting. ^^]
I closed the KakaoTalk window.
I sent a KakaoTalk message to the woman.
[Me: Hello?]
[Me: My name is Yoo Jin-seong.]
The other person did not check KakaoTalk.
10 minutes have passed.
“…”
30 minutes have passed.
“…”
1 hour has passed.
“…”
Still haven’t checked KakaoTalk.
‘What? Are you busy? Or was it blocked before I even contacted you?’
I closed the KakaoTalk window.
‘Well, I’m sure they will contact me sooner or later.’
I put down my cell phone.
‘Let’s sleep slowly.’
I lay down on the mattress. The world was cozy and comfortable.
I closed my eyes. I reflected on the day.
I lived fiercely. The cost of living has increased. My salary was increased and I received a daily salary. Hayeon bought me a gift.
‘I should repay you when I get paid.’
I was grateful for the gift. I felt sorry for just receiving it. I thought I would feel at ease if I gave back at least as much as I received.
‘Now. ‘I wake up at 5 o’clock starting tomorrow.’
These days, Jinseong wakes up at 6 o’clock.
The intention was to wake up an hour early.
‘I should jog.’
I heard that aerobic exercise in the morning helps with dieting.
I’m only going to run outside for an hour.
‘If you have eight to eight stamina, you are invincible.’
If I didn’t have good physical strength, I wouldn’t have even dreamed of jogging.
I fell asleep.
∴∴∴
I woke up an hour early.
‘Condition is good!’
I had a good sleep. My mind was clear. The body was as light as a feather.
I took vitamins first.
“Hu-eup, tsu-eup, hu-eup, tsu-eup.”
I ran through the park. A cool breeze touched my head. Fresh air filled my lungs.
‘It’s better than I imagined?’
It ran for 1 hour.
‘It’s perfect. I have to run every morning.’
The world, mind, and body felt refreshed.
I’m taking a sip of water.
‘Hmm?’
KakaoTalk rang.
