By steering the conversation toward videos, she hoped to find an opening to express her own desire to give it a try.

But Chen Jincheng’s tone took a sudden 180-degree turn. He handed her his phone. "Miss Li, could you do me a favor and film a workout video for me? I need to upload it to my Tiao Yin account later."

"..." Li Muchen was stunned. She couldn’t keep up with his conversational leaps. ’Weren’t we just talking about my cousin’s video?’ she thought. ’How did we suddenly jump to me filming his workout?’

Chen Jincheng, of course, was deliberately teasing her. It was amusing to watch her, looking anxious and hesitating to speak.

In the end, Li Muchen could only sigh and take the phone. She started filming him as he began to work out. Through the lens, she suddenly found him surprisingly handsome.

[You have consumed 1 Constitution Point through exercise. Your Constitution has increased!]

Constitution Points: 489

Chen Jincheng glanced at his stats and got off the rowing machine. He then took his phone back from Li Muchen and checked the video she had filmed. It was surprisingly well shot.

He fiddled with his phone and uploaded the workout video directly to his Tiao Yin account, adding a caption: "Starting today, I’m abstaining from sex and embracing a disciplined workout routine. Call me the internet’s number one fitness blogger!"

The main appeal was the contrast and the element of surprise.

’Once this special Fitness Expert Card is used up, my Constitution will be so insane, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call myself the internet’s number one fitness blogger, would it?’

’My physique will be enough to blow people’s minds.’

’That’ll be another wave of hype. I might even break ten million followers with this.’

This stark contrast in video style was sure to make his fans’ jaws drop.

And that was indeed the case.

Many of his fans had been waiting for him to post a video or go live. But this new video that suddenly appeared just felt... off.

"Cheng says he’s abstaining from sex. Who believes that?"

"Did Cheng take the wrong meds? Suddenly going the fitness route and vowing to abstain from sex? I have a harder time believing that than believing I could abstain from sex myself."

"So, maybe Cheng isn’t at the gym to work on his body, but because he’s got his eye on one of the girls there?"

"He definitely has his eyes on a girl at the gym. I’d bet my head on it!"

"I guarantee there’s about to be a new Miss Cheng, and she’s going to be a gym girl."

"..."

Clearly, no one believed Chen Jincheng’s vow to abstain from sex. On the contrary, everyone was convinced he must have his eye on a girl at the gym. That was more in line with the Ancestral Master’s style.

Li Muchen, having helped Chen Jin film the video, saw him upload it and followed his account out of curiosity. Then, she saw his fans’ comments.

This ignited a burning passion for gossip within her.

’His fans wouldn’t say that without reason,’ she mused. ’He might really have come to this gym for a girl.’

She immediately scanned her surroundings. Across from Chen Jincheng, there seemed to be a pretty girl in a yellow tank top and black yoga pants working on her shoulders. Not only was this woman beautiful, but she also had the incredible figure of a fitness model.

Then, she spotted another girl with a fantastic figure on a stair machine, also near Chen Jincheng. Not only was her body great, but the way her hips swayed with each step on the machine was truly sexy.

’This girl is also gorgeous. She could be Chen Jincheng’s target, too.’

Not far behind Li Muchen, a girl at the gym recognized Chen Jincheng. She secretly took out her phone, snapped a picture of the two of them, and couldn’t resist posting it to her social media feed: "Came to the gym and ran into the influencer Chen Jincheng!"

She was too shy to go up and talk to him. Instead, she sneakily filmed another video and uploaded it to Tiao Yin with the caption: "Chen Jincheng looks so handsome when he works out. The girl in the white gym outfit next to him is completely mesmerized."

Li Muchen continued to scan the area, looking for any girl who could possibly be Chen Jincheng’s target.

Her curiosity and interest grew. ’If he’s really here for one of these girls, he’s bound to make a move.’

But as she waited, all she saw was Chen Jincheng moving from one piece of equipment to the next. He made no move to chase after any girls. Watching him work out relentlessly, moving from machine to machine without stopping, she couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Chen, working out like this... don’t you ever get tired?"

"Of course I do. I’m exhausted right now," Chen Jincheng said with a smile, glancing at the Life Simulation Game interface.

Constitution Points: 485.

After consuming 15 Constitution Points, he could clearly feel the faint, warm sensation growing stronger.

This kind of workout truly felt invigorating.

Chen Jincheng checked the time. Seeing it was getting late, he said goodbye to Li Muchen and left the gym.

His clothes were soaked through with sweat. He needed to find a fresh set, or he’d reek of body odor soon.

He had originally planned to head back to his rented villa. But after the warm sensation faded, he felt a great deal of his stamina return. ’I could go to either Yinyin’s or Jiang Xiaobai’s place,’ he thought. ’They both have a change of clothes for me there. Plus, I could get in a little more "exercise" and burn another 2 Constitution Points.’

’But which girl should I choose?’

In the end, he simply posted on his social media feed: "So lonely this afternoon. I need some company!"

He set the post to be visible only to Yinyin and Jiang Xiaobai.

It was simple, really. He was just casting a line. He’d go to whoever took the bait first.

A moment later, Yinyin was the first to take the bait. She commented, "Boss, I bought a sexy new technician-style slip!"

Chen Jincheng smiled and immediately deleted the post. ’Since Xiaobai missed out, she lost her chance.’

After getting in his car, he drove directly to Yinyin’s place in Taihe District. Before long, he was knocking on her door.

A moment later, the door swung open to reveal a delighted Yinyin. She threw her arms around his neck. "Boss, is this a surprise for me?"

"Well? Are you surprised?" Chen Jincheng asked with a grin.

"Mhm!" Yinyin nodded, then immediately wrinkled her nose. "Boss, you’re all sweaty!"

"I’m going to take a shower first. When I come out, I want to see that sexy technician-style slip," Chen Jincheng said as he walked into her bathroom and started washing himself under the SPLASH of the water.

After rinsing off all the sweat, he wrapped a towel around his waist and walked out into the living room. Just as he’d hoped, Yinyin was already waiting for him, having changed into her technician outfit.

Chen Jincheng’s eyes lit up. The outfit was indeed sexy.

’She’s getting better and better at picking out clothes,’ he thought. ’And her taste aligns more and more with mine.’

...

[You have consumed 1 Constitution Point through exercise. Your Constitution has increased!]

The game notification appeared. Chen Jincheng really felt that aerobic exercise was the way to go. The recovery effect that came with spending Constitution Points to increase his Constitution was just incredible.

He felt like he could run several full marathons without any issue, let alone handle one girl.

Unlike Chen Jincheng, who had left the gym directly, Li Muchen went to the locker room to wash off the sweat. She changed out of her workout clothes and back into her original outfit before leaving the gym and heading back to Second-Life Star.

Once she was in the reception room there, she sent a message to her cousin, asking what she was up to and telling her where she was.

"Cousin, where have you been? You didn’t even reply to my WeChats," Lin Leqing said, walking in with a hint of complaint in her voice.

Li Muchen quickly made up an excuse. "I just went for a walk. My phone died."

Lin Leqing didn’t press the issue, instead inviting her cousin out for lunch. Li Muchen naturally agreed. But just as she and her cousin were leaving the reception room, she overheard some Second-Life Star employees talking.

"I also thought the boss went to the gym for girls. I can’t believe it’s true."

"That girl in the white workout outfit has a great figure. The boss will probably sign her soon, right?"

"He’ll definitely sign her. The new Miss Cheng must be her."

"..."

Listening to their conversation, Li Muchen’s curiosity was piqued, her inner gossip aflame. She had been at the gym just now, and after searching for a long time, she hadn’t figured out who Chen Jincheng’s target was, nor had she seen him make a move.

’Could Chen Jincheng have already had a target before I got there? Did it happen that fast?’

’Wait a minute... a white workout outfit?’

She suddenly realized something. Hurriedly, she grabbed her phone, searched for videos of Chen Jincheng’s workout, and found a video clip titled, "Chen Jincheng and the Gym Girl."

The moment she saw the video, she was completely dumbfounded.

’What the hell?’
