Chapter 3

8:00 AM.

"Whoosh—" The curtains were pulled open.

Tang Song stretched a big stretch, feeling refreshed.

His sleep quality was surprisingly good.

The sleep-aid effect of the passive skill 【Male God Aura】 was much more awesome than he had imagined!

This also filled him with confidence for the upcoming weight loss plan.

You know, among the three dimensions of maintaining physical health (sleep, exercise, diet), the most important one is sleep.

"Pop!" Tang Song extended his left hand and snapped his fingers crisply, while simultaneously calling the game system with his consciousness.

"Whoosh!" The colorful system light screen unfolded instantly, carrying a mesmerizing sci-fi feel.

Tang Song took a deep breath, opened his arms in a very "chuunibyou" way, and the smile on his lips couldn't be suppressed even by the Anhe Bridge.

After a simple wash, he changed into a spring/autumn sports outfit and started jogging around the community.

The bright sunshine fell on him through the locust tree leaves, warm and cozy.

Looking around, his world seemed to have been wiped clean of a layer of thick dust.

The sky was bluer, the trees were greener, and the air was fresher.

Tang Song took a deep breath, feeling full of energy all over!

He even had the leisure to greet the elderly people rummaging for recyclables.

However, as the exercise progressed, his legs began to tremble, his body gradually bent, and his speed became slower and slower.

After gritting his teeth and persisting for a while longer, Tang Song sat on a stone bench by the side of the road, his face red and hot, panting heavily.

He took out his phone to check his exercise track.

A total of 3.5 kilometers, with an average pace of 7'26", which could be said to be extremely poor.

Not exercising for a long time, combined with his overweight status, it was normal to have such results.

After resting for a while, Tang Song dragged his tired body to a nearby breakfast shop.

He ordered a cup of unsweetened soy milk and two boiled eggs.

After finishing breakfast, he returned to his rented room.

Tang Song began to formulate his weight loss plan for the future.

Because he had failed many times before, he had some experience in this area.

Simply put, it was to control his mouth and move his legs, creating a calorie deficit as much as possible to consume the excess fat on his body.

But this time, it was related to the challenge mission, and there was a time limit, so he had to go all out.

He first downloaded a weight loss plan template from the internet.

Then he opened Xiaohongshu, searched for high-quality weight loss experience posts, and began to organize content suitable for himself.

Time ticked away, and the content on the table became richer and more detailed.

It included sleep schedule, daily exercise types, water intake, fat-loss meal recipes, phased weight loss goals, etc.

In the process of searching for weight loss materials, several viral notes caught Tang Song's attention.

It was the "listening to advice" style that had recently exploded on the internet.

The titles usually contained keywords like "listening to advice" and "transformation."

The content recorded the process of amateur bloggers undergoing a counterattack through their own strong execution under the suggestions of enthusiastic netizens.

The extremely strong sense of participation made netizens feel as if they were playing an interesting cultivation game, with high enthusiasm, turning into spiritual shareholders in the cyber world, constantly offering professional and effective suggestions from all angles.

There was weight loss, outfits, skincare, hairstyles, makeup, posture...

It could be said to be an all-around help for bloggers to improve their appearance and charm.

Many amateurs not only succeeded in their counterattack but also became somewhat famous influencers.

Tang Song became more and more tempted as he watched.

Given his current situation, the simplest and fastest way to improve his charm was to start with his appearance.

Moreover, according to the settings in the game, popularity and influence were also important components of charm value.

This mode just happened to be perfectly adapted to him, which could save him a lot of early development time.

Thinking of this, Tang Song finally made up his mind.

He washed up seriously, changed into a daily outfit, tidied his hair, and adjusted the shooting angle.

"Click—"

A photo taken directly without beauty filters appeared in his album.

Tang Song glanced at it, his sense of shame instantly exploded, and he deleted the photo directly.

He changed the angle and position and took a few more, but the result was still delete, delete, delete.

It was really unbearable to look at! It was too damn terrible!

It had to be said that publishing one's most real image to the internet and being watched and mocked by thousands of netizens really required a lot of courage.

After hesitating for a long while, Tang Song took a black shaping mask out of his drawer.

He put it on and looked at himself in the mirror.

Except for his mouth and nose being covered, his facial contours were still clear, which shouldn't affect the transformation effect, and he wouldn't be recognized.

After crossing that hurdle in his heart, Tang Song didn't hesitate anymore and took a full-body photo again.

He uploaded it to Xiaohongshu and created a note.

Title: Very disappointed in my 25-year-old self, seeking transformation, listening to advice.

Body: Determined to become better, but don't know where to start, hope to get everyone's suggestions!

Topics: #AmateurTransformation, #ListeningToAdvice, #Transformation, #Counterattack, #Male

After clicking publish.

Tang Song sat on the chair anxiously, refreshing the post from time to time.

However, his account was very new, had no followers, and was usually used to appreciate pretty girls.

The number of views was in the single digits in a short time, so naturally, there wouldn't be any comments.

He could only wait quietly for the flowers to bloom.

In the bustling department store supermarket.

Tang Song pushed the shopping cart, scanning the fat-loss meal ingredient list on his phone from time to time.

Lettuce, cucumber, sweet potato, strawberry, orange, beef tendon, fresh shrimp, chicken breast...

He basically picked the freshest ones and didn't care much about the price.

In the past, in order to save money to buy a house, his life had always been very frugal.

Clothes and daily necessities were bought directly from Pinduoduo, food was ordered with takeout coupons, and fruits and snacks were almost never bought.

Now, the extra 200 yuan of income every day gave him a feeling of breaking free from shackles.

No need to haggle over every cent, no need to feel guilty because of consumption, no need to worry about losing his job and having no source of income.

For him now, it could already be considered a small financial freedom.

After the purchase was completed, Tang Song carried two full shopping bags back to his residence.

Soon, the originally empty refrigerator was stuffed full.

The house Tang Song currently rented was a fully furnished one-bedroom apartment.

Convenient transportation, superior location, complete furniture and appliances, monthly rent 900.

The reason it was so cheap was that the landlord was his university classmate, Lu Ziming.

Unlike him, a youth from a small town, Lu Ziming's family conditions were very good.

His mother was in the system, his father was a corporate executive, and his family had money, connections, and several houses.

Currently in his third year of graduate school, he had already been arranged to intern at a large financial company, with a bright future.

At 12:30 PM, the carefully prepared fat-loss meal was served on the dining table.

Pan-fried chicken breast, brown rice, vegetable salad (mainly lettuce, tomato, cucumber, paired with low-fat salad dressing).

Tang Song excitedly arranged the plate, adjusted the angle to take a photo, and then began to feast.

The taste was not bad, but the chicken breast was a bit dry, possibly because it was fried for too long.

After finishing lunch, Tang Song opened Xiaohongshu again.

A few hours had passed, and the view count of that note had already exceeded 100.

It had gained 3 likes and 5 comments.

He clicked on the comments to take a look, and they were basically all telling him to lose weight.

【A standard fat otaku! Must have drunk a lot of happy water!】

【The mask can't even cover your double chin】

【It's useless to change anything if you don't lose weight, lose weight first】

Tang Song finished reading seriously and replied one by one: "Thanks for the advice! I've already made a strict weight loss plan and am currently executing it."

After scrolling through his phone for a while, Tang Song was just about to return to the bedroom for a nap when he suddenly stopped.

He looked around.

The room was in a state of disorder, with all kinds of items thrown around, the balcony piled with clutter, furniture and appliances covered in dust, the floor dirty, and the toilet and sink yellowing and smelly...

"It's time for a thorough cleaning!" Tang Song took a deep breath and began to take action.

A clean and tidy living environment and good living habits were a manifestation of one's own charm and also the basic cultivation of a male god.

Change must start from now, from the little things, from daily life!
