God-Tier BGM System

Hearing this news, Li Congxin felt his vision go black, as if his life had lost all its color. His gaze fell back on the desk lamp. Perhaps trying to travel through time again was also a good idea?

Just then, Dave on the other end of the phone continued, "Figure out how to solve this yourself. Perhaps this upcoming summer vacation will be a good opportunity to eliminate the negative effects. If you think of any good methods and need someone to lend a hand, feel free to find me."

After hanging up the phone, Li Congxin opened his computer.

He decided not to rush into trying to travel through time again. It was better to see what this post was all about first.

He quickly logged into the campus forum. The pinned post was the ranking list that young lady had drafted. Scrolling down, he saw various comments and replies: some were bragging, some expressed regret about not being in Li Congxin's class, and of course, most were mocking Li Congxin's "flying man" like achievements.

As he read the replies below, Li Congxin grew angrier with each one, yet he couldn't stop reading. He continued until he had read all ten-plus pages of replies, his face turning ashen.

He had to lose weight immediately, start exercising right away, there was no time to lose!

Just as Li Congxin was resolutely committing himself to the great and glorious cause of fitness and weight loss, a mechanical voice devoid of any emotion suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Congratulations, Host, for accumulating 100 Impression Points, meeting the system activation conditions. The God-Tier BGM System has been successfully activated, and the Host will also receive a beginner's gift package. The specific usage method for the system has been transmitted into the Host's memory. You can use it proficiently just by recalling it."

Hearing this strange voice, Li Congxin was stunned.

God-Tier BGM System, what the heck?

Following the prompt from the previous voice, Li Congxin tried to recall the relevant information about this "God-Tier BGM System." Immediately, a large amount of information surfaced in his mind.

BGM is short for Background Music.

The function of this God-Tier BGM System could be summarized in one sentence: In my BGM, no one can defeat me!

Activating the corresponding BGM is equivalent to adding special status buffs, achieving various amplification effects.

He brought up the system panel and found the waiting beginner's gift package in the rewards section.

Clicking to claim!

"Congratulations, Host, for successfully claiming the 'Beginner's Gift Package' and obtaining one 'Random BGM Draw Card'."

Random BGM Draw Card: Upon use, randomly draws one BGM.

Taking a deep breath, Li Congxin immediately selected the "Random BGM Draw Card" and chose to use it.

"Congratulations, Host, for using the 'Random BGM Draw Card' and obtaining the BGM: Calories."

With a thought, the system panel immediately displayed the usage description for Calories.

Calories

Level: 1 (0/10)

Effect: Increases exercise effectiveness by 10% and reduces exercise consumption and damage by 10%.

Seeing the effects of the first BGM in his life, Li Congxin's face immediately broke into a satisfied smile.

He was just thinking about losing weight, and an external aid that could enhance exercise effects appeared. This system was truly thoughtful. Moreover, it seemed this BGM could be upgraded, and the Impression Points required for upgrading were quite cheap.

According to the information that appeared in his mind, upgrading the BGM required consuming a special energy called Impression Points.

Impression Points are somewhat similar to collecting faith power, but not exactly the same. Whether you praise him, curse him, love him, hate him, envy him, or jealousy him... as long as he is in your thoughts, you will unknowingly provide him with Impression Points.

The amount of Impression Points obtained from a person also has a very important factor: the target's destiny weight. To put it bluntly, having Iron Man remember him and having a random passerby remember him would yield completely different, and vastly different, rewards!

Li Congxin's current Impression Points balance was 101 points, one point more than when the system first awakened. He figured it must be thanks to that post that made his teeth itch with hatred.

There was nothing else to say, he directly upgraded!

As the text describing the attributes of Calories on the system interface flashed with a colorful light, the BGM's attributes underwent a drastic change.

Calories

Level: 2 (0/100)

Effect: Increases exercise effectiveness by 20% and reduces exercise consumption and damage by 20%.

The effectiveness had doubled, and the effect was simply amazing. However, what made Li Congxin a bit depressed was that while the effectiveness doubled, the Impression Points required for the next upgrade increased tenfold.

His remaining Impression Points were clearly not enough to upgrade it further.

He wondered what it would feel like to combine the 20% increase in exercise effectiveness with the 20% reduction in exercise damage.

Li Congxin decided that practice makes perfect. To know the specific effects, he just needed to try it out!

He changed into a tank top, shorts, and sneakers, went downstairs, and stopped directly in front of a gym called Martha's Gym across the road.

This was the gym his parents had left him, named after his mother. It was said to be a birthday gift from his father to his mother to show his affection.

He took out his keys, opened the door, flipped the circuit breaker, turned on the lights, and his gaze swept over the various fitness equipment.

Dumbbells, spinning bikes, rowing machines, elliptical trainers... the gym was fully equipped with all sorts of fitness equipment. After looking around, Li Congxin finally set his sights on a treadmill near the window.

Among the many forms of exercise, aerobic exercise is undoubtedly the best for weight loss and fitness. If not for the goal of building terrifying muscles or increasing entertainment value, aerobic exercise would be an excellent choice.

And running is the simplest of all aerobic exercises.

He plugged in the treadmill, took a deep breath, and casually snapped his fingers. The music started!

"Get up in the morning, first thing, cheer yourself up. Every extra grain of rice you eat, say you're sorry. Magic mirror, magic mirror, look at me, where are my collarbones? Beauty, I want to be beautiful, I want to be adored by everyone!..."

Amidst the music, Li Congxin didn't experience the usual exhaustion from just moving a little. Running at a steady pace on the treadmill actually made him feel surprisingly light.

This feeling, it seems to be really quite good!

An hour later, when Li Congxin stepped off the treadmill, his entire body was drenched in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of water.

However, Li Congxin felt better than ever at this moment, as if he had eaten a Ginseng Fruit. His whole body felt refreshingly clear from the inside out, utterly transparent.

Li Congxin couldn't yet determine the extent to which this BGM enhanced the fitness effects. However, the reduction in physical exertion and damage from exercising was already a huge surprise to him.

According to the memories of the original owner of this body, with his small physique, he would usually be out of breath after just a few steps. As for running continuously for an hour without stopping, that was something he could only watch others do in the gym.

Today, he could finally experience this feeling for himself!

One word.

Awesome!

After turning off the "Calories" BGM and all the appliances in the gym, Li Congxin returned home again. After taking a comfortable hot shower, a wave of fatigue washed over him.

Lights out, sleep!
