NOVEL NEXT Chapter 17: Chapter 17
Although Lin Yi had sent five boys to the hospital, he did not achieve his goal this time.
Initially, he wanted to test how strong he was, but he didn't expect the others to turn and run without even fighting. This exceeded the scope of his plan.
They didn't fight him, so he couldn't test how much he had improved compared to before.
But that's something unavoidable; they were just students, not people who would stay and fight to the end. If they couldn't win, they simply fled.
Lin Yi had originally thought of using the boys as a gauge of his combat strength, but when they saw him, they turned and fled as if they had seen a ghost, so this method wasn't working.
After returning home to change clothes, Lin Yi went back to the fancy entertainment club in Kabukichō to continue his search for chests.
This time, Lin Yi ordered four girls to be brought to him.
He thought he would get two common chests and two silver chests that night.
However, the result was not as expected; he only obtained one common chest and one silver, just like the night before.
This surprised Lin Yi, who immediately consulted the system: "Brother, shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation?"
[System Message: Each time you fight, you can only obtain one chest of different quality, but the quality of the chest depends on the situation of the battle.]
Lin Yi thought about it for a moment and understood: "You mean that... as long as I manage to have relations with a girl, I will get a common treasure chest? And if there are two or more girls, I will get a silver chest?"
"If I want more treasure chests, I have to do it on separate occasions?"
[The host has understood correctly.]
NOTE: It refers to the fact that if he wants quantity, he must do it with 1 girl for common treasures; if he wants silver treasures, he must do it with 2 girls on different occasions instead of 4, 2, and 2. Well, let's see if they understand, and the quality depends on how long it lasts.
"It's really troublesome..."
Lin Yi complained, as he hadn't expected the system to give him a response.
He looked at the two high-quality chests, which were indeed different from what he had seen before.
The color of the common chest had a notable shine, clearly made of high-quality wood.
And the silver chest was shinier and had a slight glow.
"They're definitely high-end items... I don't know what good items I could obtain now."
Lin Yi opened the common treasure chest with anticipation.
[You have opened a common chest and obtained an improved treadmill.]
[Improved Treadmill: A special treadmill that doubles the effects of training. Effect: Increases endurance training effect by 50%.]
"Ah... From a certain perspective, this improved treadmill is actually something good. But couldn't you just give me a stamina potion directly?"
Lin Yi paused and then opened the silver treasure chest.
[You have opened a silver chest and obtained Agility.]
[Agility: Your flexibility has increased, coordination has improved, and your body moves faster. Note: Speed has improved...]
"Seriously? Can't I complain?"
Lin Yi showed the system his middle finger.
These two items are neither good nor bad. Especially the improved treadmill, for someone like Lin Yi who is lazy, it would probably just end up as a coat rack at home; he would prefer to trade it for 100 million yen.
But at least the increase in agility allowed him to feel a subtle change in his body; he felt lighter and more pleasant.
As if he could fly after taking just a few steps.
After finishing with the chests, Lin Yi had no intention of staying longer and put on his clothes before leaving.
After returning home, Lin Yi washed his face in the bathroom.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Lin Yi, in wise mode, began to reflect on himself:
"I can't keep going like this! With the level of intense exercise I'm doing every day, it won't be long before I'm completely dried up."
"To get good chests, I need to exercise for real."
"So I have to start exercising... Otherwise, I might have health problems."
"By the way... if you give me a treadmill to take care of my health... why don't you just give me a kidney enhancer bottle?"
"There's no remedy... I can only start running. For a happy future life, I need to have a strong body!"
"Decided! From now on, I will run for two hours a day: one hour when I wake up in the morning and another hour when I return in the afternoon."
With the determination to change, Lin Yi made a plan and immediately took out the treadmill, plugged it in, and ran for an hour.
In the first ten minutes, Lin Yi felt a bit impatient. He wanted to give up and just forget it.
But thinking about the large amount of work he had ahead and the health problems he could face if he didn't exercise, he realized how serious it would be.
Every time he thought about those possible consequences, he forgot about giving up and kept running.
Keep running!
Grind your teeth and keep running!
It was strange; after running for thirty minutes, Lin Yi felt as if he entered a mystical state, as if the sweat was carrying something away, giving him the feeling that his body and mind were being purified.
As he ran, he lost track of time, immersed in that wonderful feeling. When he came out of that state, he realized he had run for two hours.
"It turns out I'm that good!"
Lin Yi was surprised and satisfied with his performance, feeling that he had changed and was no longer the lazy person he used to be.
With that feeling of satisfaction, Lin Yi took a shower, relaxed his mind, and went to bed happily.
The next day.
At six o'clock, the alarm rang on time.
Quickly, a hand shot out from the bed to turn it off.
"Ah… my calves are so sore; I must have run too much last night."
Lin Yi looked at his aching feet, and after an intense mental struggle, he squinted his eyes and told himself:
"They're already very tired; don't push them any further. If they get injured, it will be a problem. They worked hard yesterday, so let's let them rest well today..."
After finding a reasonable excuse, Lin Yi closed his eyes again and fell asleep.
