Chapter 2: Chapter 2 The God-level BGM System (Edited)
Hearing this news, Clark felt as if his life had lost all its luster. His gaze fell on the desk lamp again. Perhaps trying to travel through time again wasn't a bad idea?
But then he heard Dave continue over the phone: "You'll have to figure out a way to deal with this yourself. Maybe the upcoming summer vacation will be a good opportunity to get rid of the negative impact. If you think of a good method and need someone to help, feel free to call me."
After hanging up, Clark turned on his computer.
Trying to travel through time again was not urgent. It was better to see what was going on with this post first.
He quickly logged into the campus forum, and the top post was the ranking list set by that beauty. Looking down, there were various comments and replies, boasting about themselves, lamenting not being in Clark's class, and of course, many were mocking Clark's spectacular achievements.
The more Clark read, the angrier he got, until he had read all the replies across a dozen pages, his face had turned iron blue.
He must lose weight and exercise immediately, without delay!
Just as Clark was determined to dedicate himself to the noble and glorious cause of fitness and weight loss, a mechanical voice devoid of any emotion suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Congratulations to the host for accumulating 100 impression points, meeting the system activation conditions. The God-level BGM System has been successfully activated, and the host will receive a newbie gift pack. Detailed instructions for using the system have been transmitted into the host's memory. Just recall it, and you can use it proficiently."
Hearing this strange voice, Clark was stunned.
God-level BGM System, what's that?
Following the previous voice's instructions, Clark tried to recall information about the "God-level BGM System," and immediately a vast amount of information surfaced in his mind.
BGM stands for Background Music.
The function of the God-level BGM System, in simple terms, is: No one can defeat me in my BGM! By activating the corresponding BGM, it's like adding special status BUFFs, achieving various amplification effects.
Opening the system panel, he found the awaiting newbie gift pack in the reward section.
Click to receive!
"Congratulations to the host for successfully receiving the 'Newbie Gift Pack,' obtaining a 'Random BGM Lottery Card.'"
Random BGM Lottery Card: Use to randomly draw a BGM.
Taking a deep breath, Clark immediately selected the "Random BGM Lottery Card" and chose to use it.
"Congratulations to the host for using the 'Random BGM Lottery Card,' obtaining the BGM: 'Calories.'"
With a thought, the system panel immediately displayed the usage summary of "Calories."
"Calories"
Level: 1 (0/10)
Effect: Can enhance the effect of exercise by 10%, and reduce the consumption and injury brought by exercise by 10%.
Seeing the effect of his life's first BGM, a satisfied smile appeared on Clark's face.
Just when he was thinking about losing weight, a plug-in appeared that could enhance the effect of exercise. This system was really thoughtful. And it seems that this BGM can also be upgraded, and the required impression points for upgrading are quite cheap.
According to the information in his mind, to upgrade a BGM, a special energy called impression points is needed.
Impression points are somewhat similar to collecting faith power but not exactly the same. Whether you praise him, scold him, love him, hate him, envy him, or jealously... as long as he's in your mind, you'll unknowingly provide him with impression points.
And the amount of impression points obtained from a person also depends on an important factor: the weight of the person's destiny. To put it bluntly, making Iron Man remember him and making a random person remember him yield completely different harvests, with a huge gap!
Clark's current impression point balance is 101 points, one more than when the system was just awakened, probably thanks to that infuriating post.
No need to say more, upgrade immediately! As a rainbow light flashed across the system interface where the description of "Calories" was written, the properties of this BGM underwent a drastic change.
"Calories"
Level: 2 (0/100)
Effect: Can enhance the effect of exercise by 20%, and reduce the consumption and injury brought by exercise by 20%.
The effect doubled, which was incredibly good. However, Clark was somewhat dismayed that while the effect doubled, the required impression points for the next upgrade increased tenfold.
The remaining impression points were obviously not enough for another upgrade.
He wondered what the combination of a 20% enhancement in exercise effect and a 20% reduction in exercise-related injury would feel like.
Clark decided to find out through practice. To know the specific effects, he just had to try it!
Dressing in a tank top, shorts, and sneakers, he went downstairs and headed straight to the gym named Marsha Fitness Club across the street.
This was the gym left to him by his parents, named after his mother. It was said to be a birthday gift from his father to his mother as a show of affection.
Taking out the keys, he opened the door, then turned on the electricity, lit up the place, and scanned the various gym equipment.
Dumbbells, spinning bikes, rowing machines, elliptical machines... The gym had all kinds of fitness equipment. After looking around, Clark finally set his sights on a treadmill near the window.
Among all types of exercise, aerobic exercise is undoubtedly the best for losing weight and getting fit. If not for building a terrifying muscle memory or adding entertainment, aerobic exercise is an excellent choice.
And running is the simplest of all aerobic exercises.
After powering up the treadmill, Clark took a deep breath, casually snapped his fingers, and the music started!
Niu Zei Ke! "Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is give myself a pep talk. Every time I eat one more grain of rice, I have to apologize. Magic mirror, magic mirror, where is my collarbone? Beauty, I want to be beautiful, I want to become irresistible to everyone!..."
With the music playing, Clark didn't experience the usual tiredness from moving a bit more than usual. Running at a steady pace on the treadmill actually felt surprisingly easy.
This feeling seemed really nice! ...
An hour later, when Clark got off the treadmill, he was drenched in sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
However, Clark felt better than ever before, as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit, feeling refreshed from the inside out, thoroughly invigorating.
He couldn't yet determine to what extent the BGM enhanced his fitness effects, but the reduction in physical exertion and injury from exercise already gave him a huge surprise.
According to the memory of the original body's owner, with his frail body, he would get winded after running a few steps. As for running non-stop for an hour, that was something he could only watch others do in the gym.
Today, he finally got to experience this feeling himself!
One word.
Awesome! Turning off the "Calories" BGM and all the electrical appliances in the gym, Clark went back home, took a comfortable hot shower, and then felt a wave of sleepiness hit him.
