Chapter 20 Bai Yueguang
Chapter 20 Bai Yueguang
It's not a good day to go out in the rain.
After returning to his dormitory, Ang Lee went to take a shower and change his clothes.
Although he now has the persona of an athletic prodigy, he is not made of iron after all, and it is still easy for him to catch a cold if he wears his clothes soaked through.
When he came out of the toilet, everyone had returned to the dormitory.
Chatting, watching short videos, reading novels, and playing games.
Because they hadn't established a friendly relationship before, Ang Lee didn't talk to them and instead dried his hair with a towel.
"Ang Lee, why did you go out in such heavy rain?"
Just then, someone came to his bedside and asked curiously.
"I just went for a run."
Li An looked up and saw that it was his roommate Liang Junsheng. After thinking for a moment, he responded.
"Oh, I see... Be careful not to catch a cold."
Upon hearing his response, Liang Junsheng forced a smile, offered a couple of words of agreement, and then turned and went back.
They're both adults; how could he not tell that Ang Lee was lying?
But since the other person was unwilling to talk about it, he couldn't force them to, lest he make a fool of himself.
Seeing him turn and walk away, Ang Lee did not try to stop him. Instead, he grabbed the ladder, climbed up to the upper bunk, and picked up his phone.
Before going out to help senior Lin Shiyu, he made a point of leaving his phone in the dormitory.
Even though his phone was advertised as waterproof by GG, the common sense that electronic devices should avoid getting wet made him hesitant to gamble.
There's a new WeChat message on my phone from my mom:
"Anzai, I saw in the weather forecast that it's going to rain heavily in Jiangcheng tonight. Remember to bring an umbrella when you go out."
Upon seeing this message, Ang Lee replied with a few words, reminding her to take care not to catch a cold.
After settling this matter, he sat leaning against the wall and began to have some internal monologue.
【Would you like to draw a character profile? (Remaining attempts: 1)】
Yes or No
When this option appeared before him, Ang Lee couldn't help but rub his hands together.
Having tasted the sweetness of success, unlike the calm of his first lottery draw, after winning the "Sports Genius" title, he finally got a taste of the new persona.
You can make money simply by running.
If possible, he would like to draw a character with a "top student" or similar persona.
Because he spends most of his time in class each week, if he could make money just by studying, he would be invincible after graduating from university in four years.
Or a persona like "genius hacker" would also work, since he bets on computers, which is considered a professional expansion.
【Yes】
[Gained new character designation - White Moonlight Lv.1 (Your shining moments will be remembered)]
The lottery function on the character design panel is as monotonous as ever, with no process and the reward is thrown out directly.
"White moonlight?"
Upon seeing this new persona, Ang Lee was completely stunned.
"Looks like my luck isn't so good this time."
Compared to the "Prince Charming's" near-superpower of foreseeing the future and the "Athletic Genius's" significantly increased athletic talent, this character design seems rather ordinary.
What good is it to be remembered?
Moreover, the effect of this character design is subject to certain limitations, namely, highlight moments.
Despite this, Ang Lee was not discouraged. Instead, he picked up his phone and started searching for the keyword "white moonlight".
The term "white moonlight" originated from Eileen Chang's novels and usually refers to a person or thing that is desirable but unattainable.
As times have changed, the term "white moonlight" has gradually gained public recognition and acceptance, and has been given more meaning.
For example, a man's first love, his perfect lover, the person he longs for, the best one in his memory.
The core characteristic of the "white moonlight" persona is that it is unforgettable, and every time you think of it, you feel beautiful and nostalgic.
After searching for those, Ang Lee then began searching for his highlight moments.
"Highlight moment" is a common internet slang term, usually referring to the most brilliant and proudest peak moment.
"I see."
After searching for a while, Ang Lee nodded as if he had a sudden realization.
He didn't put down his phone; instead, he searched for dumbbell workout tutorials.
Since things have come to this, let's start lifting weights and figure out how to use athletic genius first.
As for the white moonlight... even if he hasn't figured out how to use it yet, a persona is always better than nothing, so there's no need to dwell on whether it's good or bad.
After finding the video tutorial on Douyin, Li An started watching it carefully.
Dumbbells are very versatile fitness equipment with many related uses. They are also small and portable, requiring no special location for use, so you can exercise anytime you want.
The tutorial was unusually simple, probably because the video blogger was very skilled; he only watched it once and remembered all the details.
After watching the video, Ang Lee left the bed and went back to the floor, taking out the dumbbells that he had previously opened and put back.
This thing also comes with a free gift: a pair of gym gloves.
According to the video, beginners should start with light weights, multiple repetitions, and multiple sets when using dumbbells, and gradually increase the weight after learning the correct posture.
After breaking down a single 10-kilogram dumbbell into 1-kilogram pieces, Ang Lee began training with bicep curls.
Although everyone in the dormitory was there, he didn't have any worries when he did it.
After all, it's very common for boys to exercise in their dorm rooms.
"Ang Lee, what are you doing?"
Liang Junsheng noticed his actions and couldn't help but strike up a conversation again.
"I haven't exercised since military training, and I feel like I've gained weight recently. I want to build some muscle."
In response to his doubts, Ang Lee gave the most common reason for working out.
"You're still fat?"
Liang Junsheng looked down at his big belly, then at his tall and slender figure, and felt speechless.
Is this what a master at picking up girls is like? He's already so handsome, and he's still getting cocky!
"Damn it, this guy's not even going to act anymore."
Jiang Jiahao, who was playing King of Glory, noticed their conversation. His eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and he felt extremely uneasy.
The other roommates didn't say much when they saw this, and continued to do their own things.
Ang Lee stopped talking to them and started training seriously.
A set of four minutes, eight movements.
At first, he found it easy, but by the third set, he was already struggling.
The fourth movement caused his body to heat up and his forehead to sweat.
The fifth movement caused his body to become very hot, and he was sweating profusely.
With the sixth movement, his breathing became erratic.
"call……"
After completing a set of eight exercises, totaling twenty minutes, Ang Lee put the dumbbells on the table, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, and even felt dizzy.
As he stopped moving, a text prompt appeared on the panel:
[You are working hard to train as an athletic prodigy. Character development progress +1%, reward 500 yuan]
"It really works..."
Although he was exhausted and his brain was buzzing, Ang Lee was still quite happy.
Just as he expected, athletic geniuses don't only accelerate their progress through running, but also through physical exertion and exercise.
Perhaps 1% progress isn't much, but the key is that it pays.
You get paid to exercise, and the money is transferred on the spot. It's no exaggeration to say that no man in the world can resist this temptation.
Just then, a bottle of water with the cap unscrewed was handed to him.
"Li An, you've been watching the Tabata dumbbell training tutorial, haven't you? Beginners shouldn't learn this. Before your next workout, it's best to warm up and stretch for ten minutes first. At your current training method, the next few days are probably going to be a waste."
The person handing him the water was Zhong Guoqiang, who smiled as he did so.
Although he is not a sports specialist, he loves playing basketball and enjoys fitness training in his spare time.
That's why he was very happy to see Ang Lee buy professional equipment and start working out, and not just casually.
