Sun Returns Ten Thousand

"Right, I haven't been to the restroom in a while!"

Suddenly, in a flash of inspiration, Zhang Yang realized something, and everything became crystal clear.

He stood up in a hurry and headed toward the restroom.

Inside the restroom, accompanied by the pleasant chime of the system in his mind, the mission was finally complete!

Mission: Lose 20 jin in one month (Completed)

Mission Reward 1: No loose skin

Mission Reward 2: 5 EXP

Current Host Level: 2 (0/10)

Current Daily Cashback: 10,000

Ding: You have an unclaimed level-up gift package.

It's done, finally done! Zhang Yang didn't have time to study the system in detail; this single thought was just swirling in his mind.

Level two, ten thousand in daily cashback!

Originally, he was just a young man from a third-tier coastal city, having graduated from a lousy vocational college, struggling day after day in Magic City, living a life where he could see the end from the very beginning.

He was so ordinary, so mediocre, and there was no hope to be seen in him at all...

But now...

He walked out of the restroom and looked at the lights of Magic City outside the window in the distance.

Finally, he too could calmly possess his own share of the prosperity and brilliance of Magic City.

It's no exaggeration to say that Zhang Yang felt a sting in his nose and was truly on the verge of tears. It wasn't because of the arrogance of sudden transformation, but because he had been mediocre for too long, having spent too much time in confusion without seeing any hope.

As soon as he sat back down at his desk, a figure stood beside him.

"Brother Zhang, have a bite. I heard them say you haven't eaten all day." Bei Wei placed a pizza box in front of Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang looked up to see a pretty face looking at him expectantly.

The sweet aroma of the pizza wafted toward him, and the suppressed appetite from not eating all day instantly surged forth.

"Thanks." Zhang Yang decisively opened the pizza box.

Immediately, Bei Wei beamed, flashing a victory sign to their colleagues not far away.

"Well, well, Zhang Yang. My advice didn't work, but as soon as Bei Wei says something, it works, huh?" Xiang Youde laughed and teased, "We were just discussing whether you had suffered some kind of blow, but looking at you now, it seems you're fine."

Zhang Yang smiled without a word, taking a bite of the pizza in his hand. Instantly, the satisfaction of carbohydrates flooded his heart.

He swore this was the best thing he had eaten all month.

The busy day finally came to an end at nine-thirty, and Zhang Yang stretched his body gently.

Even with a daily income of ten thousand, he didn't plan on slacking off.

Either he would resign, or if he stayed at the company, he would do his job. He had been in Magic City for two years, and most of the people he knew were in the company; he hadn't thought about leaving just yet.

After a short burst of noise, the company fell into darkness and returned to peace.

Downstairs, on such a night intoxicated by the spring breeze, Zhang Yang blew in the evening wind, enjoying an indescribable sense of comfort. It was the feeling of finally having no pressure from life and finally being able to enjoy the beauty of the world.

"Why lose weight? Losing weight is for a better life. Look, isn't this Old Ma's Roujiamo delicious? Isn't this starch sausage satisfying?" Xiang Youde ate the Old Ma's Roujiamo from the street, shouting how satisfying it was.

For him, finishing a busy day of work, having a hearty meal, playing games until he was sleepy, and then crashing into bed was a kind of joy.

Zhang Yang ate the long-lost Roujiamo and nodded.

On the premise of maintaining health, Xiang Youde's state of not having internal friction and being content with what he had was actually quite ideal.

"Of course, I actually admire you quite a bit. Being so ruthless to yourself and having such perseverance—you're a person who will do great things." Xiang Youde finished the Roujiamo in his hand in a few bites and wiped his fingers clean with a cheap napkin.

"I'm not as good as you!"

He sat on the curb, looking up at the office buildings that were still dotted with lights, his eyes reflecting the night sky of Magic City, which was as bright as day...

After finishing their final late-night snack, the two returned to their respective residences.

Back at his apartment, Zhang Yang immediately immersed himself in the system, intending to take a good look at the changes.

First, he claimed the rewards.

The EXP was claimed automatically, but the effect of "no loose skin" required manual activation.

Zhang Yang took off his shirt and looked at his sagging physique in the mirror, which had dropped from 160 to 140 jin.

"I can't stand this physique anymore, claim!"

The moment he claimed it, the loose skin that had appeared on Zhang Yang's body due to excessive weight loss began to tighten and eventually vanished without a trace. The skin on his face, which had looked somewhat aged due to the loss of collagen, also instantly tightened as it had been before.

In the blink of an eye, it was as if he had become a different person.

"In this state, I'm no different from when I first started college, right?" Zhang Yang said in disbelief.

The effect of having absolutely no loose skin on his body far exceeded his imagination.

Although his looks remained unchanged and his physique hadn't become chiseled due to a lack of muscle gain, he had slimmed down and appeared more energetic. Compared to peers of the same weight, his condition was even better.

"Right, there seems to be a level-up gift pack." Zhang Yang observed the system and discovered a gift pack waiting for him to open.

With a single thought, the gift pack opened.

Ding!

Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Porsche Cayenne 3.0T version; please proceed to the dealership to collect it.

"A Porsche?" Zhang Yang's expression brightened with joy.

The system was fair and understood the principle of gradual progress; it didn't start him off with a Bentley, a Rolls-Royce, or a supercar, though Zhang Yang had never dared to hope for such things anyway.

A Porsche Cayenne was more than enough to surprise him.

After all, in the world of ordinary people, cars costing one or two hundred thousand were still the mainstream. A car worth over a million on the road was naturally, in his eyes, a luxury vehicle beyond reproach. Even at his current level of earning ten thousand a day, he would have to save for nearly four months to afford it.

Satisfied, extremely satisfied!

He walked out of the bathroom and flopped excitedly onto his bed, enjoying for the first time the joy and baptism brought by this kind of wealth.

"It's a pity that there is no one to share this joy with at this moment." After a long while, Zhang Yang sat up and shook his head with a smile.

Once he had calmed down from the excitement, he began to consider more and think further.

Some things, once started, would not stop.

How could he be satisfied with just ten thousand a day?

"Ten more experience points and I can reach level three. If I reach level three, according to the system, the daily cashback amount will become twenty thousand—it will double!"

"The problem is, how can I earn experience?"

Zhang Yang focused his attention on the system.

There was a small plus sign next to the task he had just completed.

Zhang Yang tapped it.

[Note: This task has been converted into a long-term task, aiming to cultivate the host's good habit of long-term body management.]

[Please further reduce your body fat to 15% or below. If the requirement is met at the end of each month, you will be rewarded with 5 experience points, valid permanently.]

Zhang Yang naturally knew that weight was never the only standard for judging obesity; body fat was. Even if one weighed two hundred pounds, as long as the body fat was low enough, it was healthy.

The first task issued by the system was actually quite lenient, using only weight as the standard without incorporating the concept of body fat percentage.

It was precisely because of this that he could focus solely on dropping weight without worrying about the consequences.

But that wouldn't work now.
