"So that's how it is..."

Ren Suo looked at his balance, which only had 2 Merit Points left, but it was all worth it – he had boosted his mission score to 80 points!

"Mission complete."

"Completed basic mission objective - 60 points;"

"Completed side mission - 15 points;"

"Rescued others - 5 points;"

"Total score is 80, evaluation is extraordinary."

"This mission score: 80 (extraordinary), highest mission score: 80 points (extraordinary)"

"Do you choose to upload this result as the final result? After successful upload, you will receive Merit Points and exclusive rewards corresponding to the evaluation level."

"Evaluation can only be uploaded once."

The game didn't pop up any other prompts for boosting the score, and even if it did, Ren Suo didn't want to anymore – he had played through another all-nighter just to barely reach the goal.

Besides, it was already 4 AM, and Ren Suo had to go to the National Security Bureau tomorrow. He had to sleep; he couldn't keep messing around.

The main point was, he was about to throw up from playing.

Unlike the very challenging climbing before, helping the stick figures reach the top was a very difficult and luck-dependent task, not to mention the game was already hard. Ren Suo had started from the Fifth Camp at 9600 meters, constantly helping the stick figures reach the summit. Logically, with only 400 meters left, it shouldn't have been particularly difficult.

However, however...

He couldn't help but spend a whole night grinding, and he had also spent an extra 4 Merit Points before and after, making Ren Suo feel like he was being played by the game.

Fortunately, it was time for the harvest now. Ren Suo forced himself to stay awake and nervously uploaded the mission evaluation.

"Mission evaluation upload complete, you have gained 24 Merit Points, please use them wisely."

"You have gained One-Star Treasure Chest * 1, you can open it in the Content Repository."

"You have gained exclusive reward: Physical Fitness Optimization, you can open it in the Content Repository."

"If You're Strong, Climb 10,000 Metersupload complete, thank you for playing, the Little World is full of joy!"

"Why only 24 points!" Ren Suo was stunned. What about the promised 40 points?

Although he only got 80 points, they shouldn't deduct so much. He thought it should be 40 * 0.8 = 32 Merit Points!

Was that not the calculation method?

If this game console was some kind of system, Ren Suo could still question it and demand a refund, but the Little World Game Console didn't even have customer service. What was the point of questioning...

However, at least he broke even and even earned an extra 12 Merit Points. This wave wasn't a loss.

Ren Suo opened the Content Repository and saw that besides the treasure chest, there was also a glowing orb, emitting a faint green light.

"Physical Fitness Optimization: One-time reward, can enhance the physique of all material life forms. Disappears immediately after use, only usable by the player. The worse the player's physical quality, the higher the enhancement."

The treasure chest still required a key to open, but the One-Star Sleep Key Ren Suo had obtained before was already consumed. He could only find a way to get other keys to open the treasure chest. However, this Physical Fitness Optimization could be used immediately.

"Do you confirm consuming 'Physical Fitness Optimization'? Yes/No"

Choosing yes, Ren Suo watched as the green light sphere in the Content Repository slowly dissipated.

"Hmm?"

"And then?"

After a minute, Ren Suo didn't notice any changes in himself. Just as he was feeling depressed, he saw that it was already 04:15, so he yawned...

By the time he finished yawning, it was already past 12 o'clock.

"Ah woo..." Ren Suo rubbed his eyes and saw that the screen was still displaying the Content Repository. It took him 30 seconds to finally recall how he had fallen asleep.

He first touched his butt, and after finding nothing wrong, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he went to the bathroom to wash up and ponder what had happened...

"Wait!?"

Ren Suo was shocked!

This was the first time since he obtained the Little World Game Console that he woke up without his stomach being as hungry as a Tokyo Ghoul!

In the past two days, Ren Suo couldn't even get up after waking up, and it took him a great deal of effort to get takeout. But now, he felt refreshed and full of energy even when stretching!

After washing up, Ren Suo thought for a while and decided to still order takeout – not because he couldn't go down, but purely because he was lazy.

Ren Suo: "Hello?"

Jian Ji Auntie: "Hmm?"

Ren Suo: "Hmm."

Jian Ji Auntie: "Hmm."

After placing the order, Ren Suo walked around the living room for a while, becoming increasingly certain that this should be the result of "Physical Fitness Optimization."

"But I don't seem to smell bad..." Ren Suo sniffed himself and rubbed his arm – a little bit of old dirt came off, but it was within the normal range for sebum polymers after waking up.

In Ren Suo's simple, unscientific worldview, if his body transformed, there should be some obvious changes, such as pores expelling toxins causing his whole body to stink, or his whole body feeling like it had been soaked in shit...

However, Ren Suo looked at his pores, which were smaller than pinholes. If shit could be squeezed out of such pores, then his blood would be almost entirely shit.

Moreover, even these sebum and dirt are mostly composed of dust, cell debris, and bacteria in the air. Sebum sticks them together to form dirt, so it's unrealistic for normal people to expel toxins and fat through their pores.

To detoxify, it should be through—

"Holy crap!"

Ren Suo scrambled into the bathroom. As soon as he took off his pants, he felt as if he was witnessing the scene of the primordial chaos being split open. Pangu split the heavens and earth with an axe, the clear qi rose, the turbid qi sank, thunder rolled, sand and stones rattled, waterfalls surged, what a great explosion of life...

It seemed to be too powerful. When Ren Suo left the bathroom and opened the door to see the delivery man who had been waiting outside for several minutes, the delivery man seemed to want to complain a few words, but as soon as he took a breath, his face instantly turned purple. He put down the takeout and ran away quickly.

After closing the door, Ren Suo also silently closed the bathroom door. The weather in Lian Jiang in April was starting to get hot. Although he had flushed, the products of the great explosion of life before flushing had already begun molecular thermal motion...

Ren Suo stayed for a while and felt it was unbearable, so he decided to eat on the balcony. After he had eaten and drunk his fill, his phone suddenly received a message.

"Director Ye from the Street Office: Please bring two extra sets of clothes for the interview, in case of unforeseen circumstances."

Change of clothes? Do you need to change clothes for an interview? Ren Suo was stunned. Just then, his phone suddenly rang.

"Hello?" A clear female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Is this Ren Suo?"

"It's me." Ren Suo finished the fresh soup given by Jian Ji and smacked his lips.

"Are you eating? Sorry."

"It's fine, I'm done. You are..."

"I'm Li Qingxuan, the one who went with you for the National Security Bureau interview this afternoon."

"Ah." Ren Suo remembered. Yesterday, Director Ye called him and told him he had an interview at the National Security Bureau today. If he passed, there would be great benefits. Besides him, there was another girl who also qualified for the interview.

"You forgot?" Li Qingxuan couldn't help but laugh. "It's already one o'clock."

"No, no," Ren Suo naturally shook his head and denied it. "I was just about to go... What do you need me for?"

"This interview qualification came about strangely. I was wondering if you knew anything about it."

"How could I? I'm just a normal college student," Ren Suo said shamelessly, glancing at the Little World Game Console in the living room.

"Then why don't we go to the interview together? At least we can look out for each other. How about meeting at the entrance of the National Security Bureau at two o'clock?"

Ren Suo was alert. "Is this a date?"

Li Qingxuan was alert. "Didn't you like men?"
