Chapter 3 – Part 3
The exercise was carried out in the following order: stretching – 〉 aerobic exercise – 〉 strength training.
“Yes? Are you running again?”
Jinseong, who was exhausted and panting from strength training, couldn’t help but be shocked.
Park Man-bok’s order to get on the treadmill as soon as you finish your strength training.
It’s been a while since I made green onion kimchi, so I’m on the treadmill again?!
It was absolutely terrible.
“It is highly efficient to do aerobic exercise before and after strength training.”
“… I understand.”
Jinseong climbed onto the treadmill feeling like a cow being dragged to the slaughterhouse.
Walking slowly -〉 Walking quickly -〉 Running was repeated.
I repeated three sets.
“My hips keeps twisting.”
“Please hold your breath.”
“You are doing well. “Good.”
As one set ended, Jinseong became more and more disoriented.
She hadn’t run very far, and it felt like her lungs were going to burst.
Steam rose from the body and broth flowed out.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
After cardio, I finished the exercise with stretching.
“Under…”
Her legs became weak, and she sat down.
“Drink some water.”
Park Man-bok handed over a bottle of water.
“Okay, thank you.”
I took it all at once and drank it down roughly.
“It was a lot of hard work.”
“Ah, ha, uh, yes, thank you.”
“Are you coming again tomorrow?”
“You should come. “I plan to come every day.”
“Oh, good. “You’re cool.”
Park Man-bok gave his thumbs up with an expression that said, ‘That’s amazing?’
“Do you have a diet?”
“No. “I don’t do that.”
“It’s good to have a diet. “Diet is very effective when combined with proper diet and exercise.”
Diet?
Jinseong had never done anything like a diet since he was born.
I ate when I was hungry, ate as much as I wanted, and ate what I had.
To him, diet, carbohydrates, and calories were words that could be used in another world.
“Shall I make a menu for you?”
“Does diet cost a lot of money?”
“It costs a little bit.”
He heard about diet.
In order to eat properly, food costs were higher than expected.
There were many ways to diet with minimal funds.
It was Park Man-bok, who said he would plan a meal plan according to Jin-seong’s situation.
“Do you have a picture of raw sashimi?”
“No.”
“Please take a picture of the raw fish tomorrow and send it to me. “I will tell you how much food you should eat per day and what you should take in addition.”
“Thank you.”
“Thank you.”
He knew that Park Man-bok was helping him out of pure kindness.
Even though he did not quit PT, Park Man-bok carefully taught him how to exercise.
He wanted to help even though he had no reason to plan a diet.
‘Thank you.’
Jinseong’s actions and eyes as he bowed his head showed gratitude.
“Thank you.”
“Huh, no.”
Park Man-bok smiled like a good-natured middle-aged man.
For Goinmul, there was nothing more satisfying than helping a newbie and receiving a thank you note.
‘A good person.’
In reality, Park Man-bok was a good person.
[Park Man-bok (46 years old)}
[Likeability 40/100]
[Specialty: Exercise (A), Fitness (A), Business (E), Investment (E)]
[Status: Healthy, upright, upright]
[My thoughts: Teaching newbies is fun, regardless of the money. I hope member Eugene Seong succeeds in his diet.]
The conversation is over. My breathing calmed down. I stood up and headed to the locker room.
‘Hmm?’
Jinseong’s steps stopped in front of the dressing room.
My eyes were drawn to a woman running on a treadmill.
The woman was wearing sportswear that revealed her body.
Brown t-shirt and short shorts.
Her thin physique, white skin, and strong body were impressive.
‘Wow, it’s pretty.’
Not only was her body pretty, but her face was ridiculously pretty.
It was the kind of beauty you would see on TV. I can’t take my eyes off it.
A woman’s profile has been created.
[Park Ha-yeon (20 years old)]
[Favorability 0/100]
[Specialty: Attractiveness (S), Exercise (A), Fitness (A), Business (F) Investment (F)]
[Status: Health, worries, worries]
[Inner thoughts: I feel like the gym business is not doing well. Aren’t we going to fail? Is there any way I can help?]
Jinseong was momentarily surprised when he read her profile.
This is because Park Ha-yeon was staring at him.
[Likeability: –7/100]
[Inner mind: Pig. Are you staring at me blatantly? Ugh, this sucks. I feel bad.]
Favorability has gone down.
Miyeon, her favorability rating was -6. Ha-yeon Park scored -7. She had hit a new low in one fell swoop.
‘It’s sad.’
She felt sad that she had gained negative favorability from a beautiful woman.
Tears welled up because she felt like she had become a machine that hates beautiful women.
She tried to avoid eye contact. She entered the dressing room as if running away.
‘It’s unfair.’
She only looked a little blatantly.
I only looked at Ha-yeon Park for about 10 seconds.
The rest were preoccupied with reading her profile.
∴∴∴
I washed up and left the dressing room.
Ha-yeon Park was not seen running on the treadmill.
I saw brothers with strong bodies exercising everywhere.
Everyone worked hard.
‘It’s cool.’
Rather than envy, it seemed cool to work hard to keep in shape.
‘Can I become like that?’
Can I become cool like them?
I had doubts.
‘I can be cool too.’
Doubt soon turned into certainty.
Jinseong had a period of success. There is also the will to do it. There are so many reasons to be cool.
‘No, it will definitely be cool.’
Confidence became the goal.
‘I have to go exercise tomorrow when I get off work.’
I said hello to Park Man-bok. I left the gym. I walked on a sidewalk block.
I took out my cell phone. A missed call was recorded.
I made a call. The connection is established when you hear four beeps.
“Mom, did you call me?”
-I was wondering if you were doing well.
“I’m doing well. “What about mom?”
-We are always the same. What about rice?
“I ate it at work.”
-But son, what happened? There is no echo in your voice?
“It’s because I had a hard time exercising.”
-Work out? What exercise?
“I signed up for the gym.”
It was her mother, Mrs. Kim Ji-young. She couldn’t help but be surprised by the word ‘health’.
I couldn’t help but be surprised that my son, who had always been averse to exercising, started working out.
-I’ll cheer you on. Work hard.
“Yes.”
-Excuse me… That… Son… Hey…
Her mother’s voice, which had been bright just now, became cautious.
“Why? What is it again?”
-I’m sorry, but can you lend me 10 million won?
“…”
-The monthly rent is expiring soon. I need to move, but I don’t have enough deposit.
“…”
Jinseong had no choice but to remain silent.
She was speechless.
“… “I, Mom, I don’t have any money.”
-You have some savings, right?
“That’s not possible.”
-Can I help you just once?
“You can just go to a place with a low deposit.”
-If I were alone, I would have found a studio apartment and moved in. It’s hard because you have your father and younger siblings.
Jinseong sighed.
-Sorry. Since she became a mother, she couldn’t help her son, but she made things difficult for him every time.
“Huh, I understand. “I’ll send you 10 million won.”
I answered reluctantly.
‘I raised 9.5 million won…’
She saved 9.5 million won by rolling around like a dog for 1 year and 7 months.
If I received this month’s salary and invested 500,000 won, I would have achieved 10 million won.
I couldn’t even raise 10 million won yet, and it was all ripped off.
I was completely devastated.
‘I can’t help it.’
I worked hard to soothe my upset heart.
‘I understand.’
My parents’ situation was not good.
She started her own business to make a good living, but unfortunately it didn’t work out, and she became a debtor.
He worked day and night.
My father worked during the day and served as a designated driver at night.
My mother worked at a restaurant in the early morning and at a convenience store in the afternoon.
The two of them did not waste even a single penny of Jinseong’s monthly salary.
I used it to pay off loans or contribute to my younger siblings’ tuition.
“Ugh…”
Jinseong entered the convenience store. He bought a can of beer.
I didn’t want to drink it, but I was so frustrated that I had to have just one drink.
Sat down on the chair. He opened a can of beer and took a quick gulp.
Is it because I exercised? Or is it because I am upset?
It was sweet.
I don’t know why it’s so refreshing yet sweet.
‘I hope I make a lot of money. I hope it succeeds.’
I wanted to live well. I want to live a life without worrying about money.
I hope that the people around you also live well thanks to you.
‘Is it possible?’
Can I live well?
In the past, no, yesterday, I would have definitely been skeptical.
They must have thought that they would live without being able to die and grow old without being able to get married.
It might be wiser to end one’s life.
‘It’s possible.’
You can live well.
‘I have an era of success.’
You will be able to live a life that others will envy.
If you work hard, develop and grow, if you don’t give up.
‘Phew.’
It didn’t collapse. The sand castle was solidified into a brick castle.
The frustration disappeared. My mind regained peace.
‘Let’s go and sleep.’
∴∴∴
‘Status window open.’
I lay down on the mattress.
[Yoo Jin-seong (24 years old)]
[Talent: Athletics (F)]
[Points: 10]
It was an extremely simple profile.
‘Talent open.’
The talent window was opened.
[Exercise (F grade 25.685%)]
[Explanation: When exercising, skill level increases. As the grade increases, exercise efficiency and effectiveness increase.]
When I exercised at the gym, my skill level increased by 0%-〉25.685%.
When the mastery reaches 100%, it grows to Exercise (F) – 〉 Exercise (E).
‘Efficiency is…’
In grades F and E, efficiency is low. It is difficult to feel it.
When reaching grade D, efficiency improved slightly.
‘You can feel it a little from grade D, and you can feel it greatly from grade C.’
There was a need to raise it to C grade as quickly as possible.
‘Shop open.’
[100 hairs – 10 points]
[Diet pill 0.1 kg – 10 points]
[Tall Mugwort Pill 0.1 cm – 10 points]
[Skin improvement pill 0.1% – 10 points]
[Good-looking Potion 0.1% – 10 points]
[Random lucky note – 10 points]
[Random item box – 10 points]
[Chili pepper lengthening potion 0.1 cm – 10 points]
[Chili pepper thickening potion 0.1 cm – 10 points.]
A 10-point list came to mind.
In addition to 10 points, expensive items such as 100 points, 1,000 points, 10,000 points, etc. Were also being sold.
‘What should I buy?’
Jinseong currently has 10 points.
Achievement 1 was achieved, and 10 points were received as a reward.
‘It’s all very appetizing…’ …’
I wanted to buy everything.
Since my budget was only 10 points, I could only buy one.
What item should I buy so that people can say I bought it well?
I had sweet thoughts.
‘Good.’
It was a difficult decision to make.
[Would you like to purchase a health pill item for 10 points?]
I boldly pursued it.
