Male God Halo (LV1)

Immediately afterward, the familiar game interface appeared on the light screen.

At the center of the screen was a lifelike 3D model of Tang Song himself, wearing nothing but a pair of shorts.

Above his head floated a conspicuous line of golden data: Charm: 24.

Tang Song rubbed his eyes hard, suspecting that he had drunk fake alcohol that evening and was hallucinating from being too heartbroken.

Yet the light screen remained suspended before him. Even when he closed his eyes, he could still see it.

Although "Male God Growth Plan" centered on simulation management, it was essentially still a male god training game.

The main quest was to raise the game character's charm and become a true Male God.

The game's charm rating was extremely comprehensive.

It incorporated appearance, aesthetic sense, bearing, cultivation, ability, assets, social status, and more.

A Charm Value of 24 could only be described as utterly ordinary.

Tang Song raised his hand, wanting to touch his character model.

The moment that thought arose, a click effect appeared over the model, and the game interface jumped directly to the personal center.

Player: Tang Song (24')

Role: Brocade Business - Development Engineer

Height: 180 cm, Weight: 90 kg

Physique: 56, Endurance: 55, Agility: 48, Insight: 76

Asset Status:

Balance: 45,220.31 yuan

Real Estate: None

After briefly browsing his personal information, the crisp Notification Sound sounded again. "Ding! Main storyline activated."

Immediately afterward, a dazzling progress bar appeared at the very top of the personal center.

Nine nodes were evenly distributed across it.

24' (Starting Charm)... 30o... 40o... 50o... 60o... 70o... 80o... 90o... 100o

Starting from "30," a swaying golden treasure chest floated above each node, seemingly waiting to be claimed.

Story Summary: Once the player's charm rating reaches a certain threshold, the corresponding stage of assets and permissions will be unlocked for you in reality.

Note 1: Perhaps your achievements in the game are not illusory. Continue completing system missions and improving yourself, and you will receive the rewards you have always dreamed of.

Note 2: Once your charm rating reaches 30, you may officially begin "Growth Plan Tasks."

"Th-This is...?" Tang Song stared blankly ahead.

Having played "Male God Growth Plan" for so long, he had of course had dreams like this before—and more than once.

But never had they been so clear, so real.

If it were possible, who wouldn't want to undergo a stunning transformation?

Male God-level looks, a healthy and energetic body, wealth to spend freely, a life without regrets...

He wanted it. He wanted it even in his dreams!

He cautiously used his consciousness to lightly touch the treasure chest above Charm 30.

A System Notification immediately popped up:

You are still 6 Charm points away from unlocking this stage's reward. Hurry up and improve yourself!

Just then, the Notification Sound rang out again. "Ding! Congratulations, player. You have received Beginner Gift Pack ×1."

Whoosh! A gift pack exuding golden light popped out, exquisite beyond compare.

Tang Song swallowed and touched it with his consciousness.

The gift pack shook a few times before immediately opening.

"Ding! You have obtained the passive skill Male God Halo (LV1)."

Male God Halo (LV1): Optimizes sleep quality, helping the player enter deep sleep faster and gain a better sleeping experience.

(Halo Effect: Your first smile each day grants a 200-yuan cash reward, with a 0.1% chance of receiving an additional critical-hit reward.)

Note: This skill can be upgraded.

A passive skill? A cash reward?

Tang Song suppressed his excitement, took a deep breath, and tried his best to put on a smile.

"Ding Dong—" The text notification on his Mobile Phone sounded.

"China Merchants Bank: Your account ending in 6800 received 200.00 Renminbi at 00:09 on April 2."

Seeing the bank deposit notification, Tang Song sucked in a sharp breath.

Holy crap! This was real!?

He bit down hard on his lower lip.

"Hiss—"

The pain was more intense than ever.

Everything before this could still have been called an illusion, but the tangible monetary reward before him powerfully proved the system's existence.

His blood surged as the violent pounding of his heart exploded beside his ears like heavy hammers beating a drum.

Not to mention the massive assets he could obtain by cheating in the game—even the passive skill Male God Halo alone could send his happiness soaring.

Without working at all, he could earn 200 yuan a day—6,000 yuan a month. Added to his 8,000-yuan monthly salary, that made 14,000 yuan a month.

In Yancheng, a second-tier city, that was unquestionably high income. Buying a car and a house would no longer be a dream!

After taking a quick shower and locking his bedroom door, Tang Song finally calmed down and began exploring the system panel before him.

Its overall style matched "Male God Growth Plan," but many modules were missing, such as the highly important character management, Asset Blueprint, financial market, and so on.

The mission hall, store, and warehouse were completely empty.

The entire system looked desolate and bare.

Returning to the main interface and seeing the glaring Charm: 24 above his character's head, Tang Song gave a self-mocking Shook head.

In "Male God Growth Plan," characters created by players started with 30 Charm points.

Yet he had not even reached that basic starting value.

After closing the System Interface, Tang Song stood before the full-length mirror and carefully examined himself.

His body was soft and flabby, with a ring of fat wrapped around his belly.

Heavy dark circles, puffy eye bags, dull yellowish skin, dry frizzy hair.

Nasolabial folds, jowls, a double chin—the fat on his face made his jawline very indistinct.

As far as appearance went, there was truly plenty of room for improvement.

Combined with his current circumstances—an ordinary company employee, no house, no car, no Boyfriend, and a complete mess of a life—it was no wonder his Charm Value was so low.

"Ding! You have triggered the challenge mission Restraint and Persistence. Please go to the Mission Center to check it."

Tang Song froze for a moment. He had not expected to trigger a mission so easily!

He checked the mission information.

Mission Content: Obesity greatly increases the burden on the body and raises the risk of various illnesses. Challenge yourself to lose 9 kilograms within 20 days and return to the normal weight range.

Mission Reward: Lung Strengthening Potion ×1

Mission Progress: 0%

He checked the item details.

Lung Strengthening Potion: After use, effectively improves lung condition, increases lung capacity, provides the body with sufficient oxygen, enhances resistance, promotes metabolism, Physique +2, Endurance +1.

Note: What is the secret to longevity? Keep breathing and do not stop.

A game item that increased basic attributes!

A blazing light Flashed in Tang Song's eyes, and he was eager to move.

Lose weight! He had to lose weight!

Losing 18 jin in 20 days meant nearly a jin a day.

Fortunately, his starting weight was relatively high, so it would not be too difficult.

Before, he had resolved many times to work out, lose fat, and maintain a disciplined routine.

But after only a few days, he would always slack off and gradually give up.

In the end, he simply lacked sufficient motivation and perseverance.

Now that game assets had descended into reality, a clear main path toward success had been laid out for his life.

What reason did he have not to work hard?

Besides losing weight, he also needed to improve himself in other ways.

He needed to raise his charm rating to 30 as quickly as possible.

Obtain the first-stage reward! Unlock the main storyline! Begin a new chapter of his life!
