Cheng Che woke up at five in the morning.
Actually, after his physical endurance reached seventy, his sleep time decreased.
Five hours is enough to recover; sometimes, you can regain your energy in just four hours.
But sleeping is a wonderful thing, and the system requires an eight-hour healthy sleep schedule, so he often sleeps soundly until he wakes up.
Because of that kissing scene yesterday, he went to bed early, lying down at ten o'clock.
By 5 o'clock, a full seven hours had passed, and with the high quality of deep sleep, that was enough.
He opened his eyes and glanced at the system panel.
[Appearance +0.1]
He smiled.
Then he opened the panel and looked at the four columns of data one by one.
[Stamina: 90]
[Endurance: 90]
[Charm:90]
[Intelligence: 90]
All ninety.
He stared at those four numbers for several seconds.
It's been almost a year since I linked my account to the system.
The ordinary high school student who used to be out of breath even when running now has all four of his attributes at 90 points.
Those around him have also noticed the changes that have occurred during this period.
Especially in the last few months, the crew sees him every day and doesn't notice much difference, but when people occasionally visit the set, they're always taken aback and say things like, "Have you grown taller again?" or "You've become even more handsome!"
The male actors can't even be jealous; at nineteen, he's still growing and getting more handsome—something even plastic surgery can't catch up to.
He closed the attribute panel, and a new trial mission popped up in front of him.
[ Stamina Trial: All-Round King. Ultimate Goal: Complete all four Grand Slam tennis tournaments + win a world-class running Champion. Current Progress: 0/1.]
[ Intelligence Trial: The Pinnacle of Mathematics. Ultimate Goal: Win the Fields Medal. Current Progress: 0/1.]
[ Charisma Trial: Who Under Heaven Does Not Know You? Ultimate Goal: Win the favor of ten million people. Current Progress: 0/10,000,000.]
[Please note: Each trial contains four stages. Completing each stage will grant additional attribute bonuses.]
Cheng Che looked at it carefully once, then let out a breath.
The difficulty has doubled.
The Stamina Trial requires winning all four Grand Slam titles, plus a world-class running Champion.
He's already won the Australian Open; he still needs to win the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.
In running, becoming a world-class Champion means reaching the finals of a top-tier international race and winning.
The Intelligence Trial are even more ruthless.
Fields Medal.
The Nobel Prize in Mathematics is awarded every four years and only to mathematicians under the age of forty.
He is nineteen years old now, and has a twenty-one-year window of opportunity remaining.
But the Fields Medal isn't awarded based on just one paper; it requires either solving a century-old problem or pioneering a new branch of mathematics.
He now has a proof of the Integer-Coefficient Polynomial Root Distribution Conjectures, which is quite significant, but the Fields Medal competition is always a battle of the best.
Unless he can achieve results at the level of the top ten conjectures, he is not entirely confident.
The Charisma Trial jumped from one million to ten million.
The final trial for Higher Incubus only required one million participants, but now the number for Top-Tier Incubus has increased tenfold.
However, the Charisma Trial has one advantage: it can carry over previous progress. He already has a base of 320,000, so it doesn't count as starting from scratch.
He continued reading, and the first stage of each trial appeared.
[ Stamina Trial - Phase One: Laying the Two-Champion Foundation. Mission Objective: Win a second Grand Champion ( French Open or Wimbledon ). Current Progress: 0/1.]
[ Intelligence Trial - Phase One: Scaling the Peak Again. Task Objective: Publish a second independent paper in the * Annals of Mathematics * or a top-tier journal of the same level. Current Progress: 0/1.]
[ Charisma Trial - Phase One: Global Visibility. Objective: Achieve 10 million+ impressions on mainstream overseas social media or international media, with positive reviews accounting for ≥50%, and gain 10,000 influence points. Current progress: Approximately 3,200,000/10,000,000.]
Cheng Che breathed a sigh of relief after reading it.
These tasks are much simpler than the ultimate goal.
The first stage of the Stamina Trial is simply to win a second Grand Slam. The French Open is at the end of May, and Wimbledon is at the beginning of July, so there is plenty of time.
The Intelligence Trial is to publish his second paper in a top-tier journal. He already has several directions in mind, and he can start writing after filming for " The Realm and Old Friends " is completed.
The first stage of the Charisma Trial is overseas exposure. He has already reached 320,000. The remaining 6.8 million should not be difficult to reach, with the upcoming French Open and Wimbledon, plus the overseas release of " The Realm and Old Friends ".
He closed the system panel. "Let's take it slow. I'll start with the Stamina Trial."
He glanced at the time; it was a little past five. There was a scene to film this morning, and another one this afternoon. The morning scene was a kissing scene.
He sat up, rubbed his face, and got up to rinse his mouth.
After washing up and changing into clean clothes, he left the room and headed for the elevator.
Just as the elevator doors opened, Ning Qing was walking over from the other end of the corridor.
The two exchanged a glance.
Ning Qing wore a light gray sweatshirt today, her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she wasn't wearing makeup, looking fresh and clean.
But as soon as she saw Cheng Che, she paused, and the tips of her ears turned red.
"Good morning," Cheng Che said.
"Good morning," Ning Qing said softly.
The two people entered the elevator and stood side by side. The elevator descended, and the numbers jumped from eight to seven, then to six. Neither of them spoke.
Cheng Che stared at the floor display on the elevator door, while Ning Qing stared at the tips of her shoes.
"Um," Cheng Che began.
Ning Qing turned her head to look at him.
"I read the script yesterday," he said. "I'll cooperate well in that scene."
Ning Qing nodded, her voice soft. "Yes. I can too."
The elevator reached the first floor and the doors opened. Two people walked out one after the other, and two vans were parked in front of the door.
Before getting into the car, Ning Qing suddenly turned around and said, " Cheng Che."
He turned around.
"Don't be nervous for today's scene," she said, her tone earnest.
Cheng Che paused for a moment, then smiled.
"I'm not nervous," he said. "You shouldn't be nervous either."
Ning Qing blushed again, then turned and left.
