stood in front of the sink, arranging his hair in the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After working out, taking another shower made him feel comfortable all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every pore in his body seemed to be breathing heavily, and his mood was also very pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This effect was almost as good as enjoying the service of a Gold Medal Technician.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at himself in the mirror, Fang Cheng nodded slightly in appreciation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was indeed a handsome young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he looked more spirited, why did it seem like he had less hair?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With my current Constitution, with such vigorous metabolism, shouldn’t hair be growing more than shedding?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng pondered this, then quickly dismissed the thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then picked up the bag with his change of clothes and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance of the bathhouse, a few aunties sat chatting as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, their voices were particularly low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They whispered to each other, looking shocked and secretive, like underground party members meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People walked by without them noticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng silently passed by them, avoiding another round of \"focused greetings\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the bathhouse, he went to the steamed bun shop he often visited to buy breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even bought a double portion, twenty beef-filled large buns and four bags of soy milk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an appetite startled the owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng excused it as buying for a colleague.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While exercising in the morning, ever since he increased his Strength and agility to 20 points, his stomach kept growling, acid churning, and saliva continuously secreting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like he had forgotten to eat for several days and suddenly realized it, becoming exceptionally hungry and thirsty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After running home, he simply took out the remaining pork leg from the fridge, cooked some and fried some.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two bottles of 900ml milk were also gulped down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ate all he could, and though his stomach was stretched, he still felt dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like his body’s organs were operating at full load for a short time, urgently needing continuous nutritional supplements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he mastered the Cooking Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This skill could speed up digestion and enhance the absorption rate of nutrients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also allowed him to effectively exercise his stomach function, gaining as much as 30 Experience Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng reflected now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his Constitution attribute had previously broken through 20 points, he had never felt so ridiculously hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems... it’s better not to break through two attributes at the same time in the future, it’s too taxing on the body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attributes and Potential Activation are the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Fang Cheng’s understanding, they don’t come out of nowhere but mainly come from some kind of Life Energy hidden inside his own body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If to use Master Lin’s words, it would be called Inner Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more abundant the Inner Qi in the human body, the healthier and less prone to illness the body is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, Master Lin always advises each of his patients to pay attention to dietary nourishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it is best to buy more nourishing health products in his clinic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt Chen.\" \"Uncle Zhang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng walked in the stairwell, greeting the neighbors he encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because of long-term fitness, his appearance and temperament had changed a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These neighbors were a bit dazed at first sight, and if it were not for his greeting, they almost couldn’t recognize him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng had a smile on his face and a light step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually liked his current living environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a child, because his identity as a \"Murderer’s family\" was exposed, he often faced criticism and various kinds of cold violence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother took him to move from place to place constantly, often lacking this kind of peaceful and stable feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The population in the Old Factory Street area was diverse, which meant no one cared much about your past identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the 9th floor, he stepped into the slightly dim corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Fang Cheng was about to take out his keys to unlock the iron door of his home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft voice suddenly called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Cheng, wait a moment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning back, it was Zhou Xiu Mei opening her own iron gate and running out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held a thermal lunch box in her hands, with a pair of chopsticks, presenting it as if offering a treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the lunch box were six exquisite shumai, with skins so translucent and thin that even the meat filling was visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you make these?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng looked at Zhou Xiumei with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since childhood, he had never known this girl to understand cooking, let alone make dishes that looked so appealing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just learned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiumei nodded slightly, somewhat embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then picked up a shumai with chopsticks and held it to his mouth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Cheng, try my cooking skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to refuse the cordial gesture, Fang Cheng reluctantly bit into the shumai and tasted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiumei looked at Fang Cheng, her eyes full of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chewing carefully and swallowing slowly, Fang Cheng seriously commented, \"Not bad, it’s half as good as mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiumei’s mouth immediately formed an O shape upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why that expression?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng slightly exasperated:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I possess expert-level Cooking Skill, and for you to achieve this level at such a young age is really quite good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiumei pouted slightly, her face still showing a hint of disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After swallowing the whole shumai, Fang Cheng then asked her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the occasion today? Why did you think of making snacks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiumei’s expression became a bit serious as she explained in a low voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dad told me that the security has been bad recently, advising me not to go out to the night market with a stall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I thought I might as well practice my cooking skills and set up a breakfast stall on Old Factory Street to earn some living expenses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you were using me as a lab rat, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng reacted with an enlightened expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiumei slightly bit her lip, showing a shy smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly thinking of something, she then spoke concernedly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Cheng, you must be careful when you come back at night. My dad said that several murder incidents have occurred in our neighborhood this month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, I now have more flexible working hours and rarely work night shifts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stood in the hallway, chatting casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I won’t disturb you while you’re working.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiumei hurriedly spoke, then hesitated while looking at the lunch box in her hand: \"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng smiled and took it from her hands:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such delicious shumai can’t be found even with a lantern outside, of course, I’ll take it for lunch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhou Xiumei’s eyes instantly brightened, showing a sincere smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng first washed his changed clothes and hung them on the corridor’s clothesline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he finished off all the buns and soy milk he bought from the breakfast stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating a lot, Fang Cheng burped contentedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Awesome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like the best thing to do now was to go to the club for a training session and throw a few punches on the employer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To digest a bit, strengthen the stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he just returned from sick leave yesterday, and today being Friday, it was his turn to take a day off; no classes have been scheduled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he had more important things to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cleaning up the desk, looking at the box of shumai Zhou Xiumei had made, Fang Cheng smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then tucked the lunch box inside his bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he placed a can of Nourishing Returning Tea, which was actually wolfberry tea, bought from Master Lin into the bag as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All set, he prepared to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s main task was to go to the library and study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having encountered many things recently, there had been significant changes to his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng felt he must understand more about the physiology of the human body.\u003C\u002Fp>",1348,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.897Z","2026-06-01T04:29:35.325Z",1,"novelbin.me","f01b4d8c04d47f8381b49bd3490ab699900a3ca45a7505bc625895d6edd13343","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-63","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-61",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
