Fitness and Home Appliance Shopping

Fitness and Home Appliance Shopping

The next morning.

Noisy sounds drifted in from outside the window.

Chen Sheng squinted and stretched lazily in bed.

This place was close to the market. At this time of day, more people came and went to buy and sell groceries.

Since he had already been woken up, Chen Sheng had no intention of sleeping in any longer.

He got out of bed, washed up, and prepared to head out.

He would first go downtown to buy some home appliances and grab breakfast while he was at it.

However,

Chen Sheng did not plan to take a motorcycle taxi again.

Since he had already decided to train his body properly,

of course he would run there! His home was roughly nine kilometers from downtown.

Chen Sheng planned to run the first half, then walk slowly for the rest of the way.

He changed into a lightweight tracksuit and headed downstairs.

After warming up a little, he started running toward downtown.

Ten minutes later.

"Motorcycle taxi!"

Pale-faced and drenched in sweat, Chen Sheng stood at the entrance to Wutong Village, weakly waving at a motorcycle taxi driver in the distance.

He had vastly overestimated his stamina.

Never mind nine kilometers.

After just over one kilometer, he was already utterly exhausted, and his abdomen kept cramping painfully.

With physical fitness like this, Chen Sheng seriously doubted he could even compare to an elementary school student.

Left with no choice, he could only take a motorcycle taxi downtown.

After another round of haggling with the driver, Chen Sheng rode toward the city center on the motorcycle.

On the way.

With nothing better to do, Chen Sheng looked at the panel again.

Constitution represented physical strength, endurance, and the toughness of every part of the body.

Agility represented explosive muscle speed, neural reaction speed, and the activity level of the senses. Strength represented the power of Chen Sheng's muscles and bones, as well as his instantaneous explosive force.

The three attributes affected and complemented one another, and they had to be improved in balance.

Otherwise, problems could arise, such as muscles becoming too strong for the body to bear.

Fortunately,

Chen Sheng's three attributes were equally weak.

But he believed that with the Limitless Body skill, he would become stronger and stronger sooner or later.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Sheng arrived downtown without incident.

Rather than immediately buying home appliances, he went to an old-established shop near the city center.

Vermicelli paste was a specialty of Chen Sheng's hometown.

A rich broth simmered from large bones, paired with ultra-thin rice noodles, topped with whatever ingredients one liked, then seasoned with braising sauce and pepper before being garnished with scallions.

With a fried dough stick on the side, it was absolutely delicious.

It was still early,

so Chen Sheng ate his vermicelli paste while watching the news overhead.

Recently, the National Martial Arts Association released the latest Martial Arts Ranks. Their rather fantasy-like names sparked heated discussion online, with netizens calling them a sign of the Spiritual Qi Revival.

The Martial Arts Association offered no further explanation.

One news report caught his attention.

The television screen was displaying the Martial Arts Association's latest realm classifications.

"Those Who Have Not Entered the Ranks are divided into levels, from Level One to Level Ten."

"Those who have entered the ranks are divided from weak to strong into the Hidden Origin Realm, Insightful Clarity Realm, and Yaoguang Realm—Why's it scrolling so fast? Afraid I'll remember it or something?"

Before Chen Sheng could finish reading, the ticker had already ended and begun broadcasting the next news report.

Fortunately, he did not care much about it.

Chen Sheng had seen martial arts in all kinds of novels and movies since he was young.

He had once fantasized about becoming a Martial Arts Expert or a master of traditional martial arts.

But after all these years of surfing the internet, Chen Sheng had long since given up on that dream.

After all, most martial arts nowadays were just for keeping fit.

Learning truly useful martial arts was probably not so easy.

Especially at his age.

After breakfast, Chen Sheng headed straight to the mall.

After browsing for a long time, he bought a pile of home appliances and kitchenware, spending a total of five thousand yuan.

After arranging a delivery time with the clerk, Chen Sheng left directly.

"What should I do now?"

After leaving the mall, Chen Sheng looked around and suddenly felt a little lost.

Though he had already decided to exercise,

for the moment, he had no idea where to begin.

Just then,

Chen Sheng suddenly spotted a sign in the distance, and his eyes slowly lit up.

"Hello, welcome to Jason Gym."

The moment Chen Sheng stepped into the gym, the pretty receptionist stood up and gave him a sweet smile.

It gave people the urge to sign up for a membership on the spot.

Fortunately, Chen Sheng had strong self-control and did not immediately slap his bank card onto the counter.

"Hello, I'd like to get a gym membership."

He stated his purpose directly.

Afterward,

accompanied by the receptionist, Chen Sheng took a tour around the entire gym.

The fitness area was huge, and the equipment was extensive. There were at least five of every machine, so there was no need to worry about not being able to use one.

Even though it was morning, there were still quite a few people in the gym. Business clearly seemed good.

After viewing the fitness area, the two went to the other sections.

Besides the fitness area, the place also had a yoga studio, boxing room, swimming pool, and private workout rooms.

After finishing the tour,

the two returned to the front desk.

"How much does a membership cost here?"

Seeing such luxurious facilities, Chen Sheng suddenly felt a little intimidated.

"Our regular VIP membership costs two thousand yuan a year, while a lifetime membership is fifteen thousand. But our premium VIP membership costs twenty thousand a year~"

"Oh, that's alright. Not too expensive."

Upon hearing the price, Chen Sheng nodded calmly, as though he did not care about the cost at all.

His reaction made the receptionist's eyes light up.

Had she run into a big spender?

The next second, Chen Sheng casually held out his bank card between two fingers and handed it to the receptionist.

"One month will do."

"..."

Fortunately, the receptionist had excellent professional composure, or her smile might have fallen apart.

The registration process was not complicated.

Very soon, Chen Sheng received his membership card and wristband.

Chen Sheng went straight to the changing room and put away his belongings.

After walking out of the changing room, he rubbed his hands together, ready to get started, when someone suddenly approached him from the side.

"Tut, tut, tut. Buddy, your build really isn't cutting it."

The man who spoke had a muscular build and stood half a head taller than the one-meter-eighty Chen Sheng.

He wore a tight tank top, with muscles piled across his body like rocks.

The man looked Chen Sheng up and down, making him deeply uncomfortable.

"Who the hell are you?"

Chen Sheng raised an eyebrow.

Does this guy even know how to talk? So what if my build isn't great? Believe it or not, if we fight one-on-one, I'll have you on your knees in a single round! On your knees begging me not to die!

Seeing Chen Sheng's hostile expression, the muscular man hurriedly put on a smile.

"Sorry, buddy, don't misunderstand."

"I'm Jack, one of the personal trainers here."

"For every new member, our gym provides one free personal training session."

"I came to ask if you have time today."

Hearing that,

Chen Sheng suddenly understood.

He had no experience with fitness.

He had considered hiring a personal trainer before, but his wallet had not allowed it.

A free session could not have come at a better time.

"Sure."

Chen Sheng nodded at once.
