「The next day.」

After a physically and mentally satisfying "workout," Chen Jincheng left Jiang Xiaobai’s place, glowing with vigor.

Jiang Xiaobai was truly more skilled than any other woman. Not even a green tea girl like Ximeng could compare to her natural, seductive charm.

It was a natural talent, just like her signature soul-stealing expression.

Ximeng’s wiles, on the other hand, were all learned.

After arriving at his company, checking on things, and making a few arrangements, Chen Jincheng headed upstairs to the Kaiyue Fitness Hall again.

"Workouts" with women were ultimately just a supplementary enjoyment. The real priority was proper exercise with his special Fitness Expert Card; otherwise, he’d never sculpt those good-looking, explosive muscles.

When Chen Jincheng arrived at Kaiyue Fitness Hall today, he bought a set of workout clothes. This way, he could shower at the gym after his session and not go back to the office stinking of sweat.

He had just entered the equipment area. Building a well-proportioned physique required using the rowing machine, dumbbells, Smith Machine, preacher curl bench, ab roller... and so on.

In his past life, after hooking up with a female gym instructor he met at a bar, he had trained with her for a while and even spent a lot of money on her classes.

So, that experience was proving useful in this life.

But just as he got to the rowing machine, he was stunned to see a woman with a great figure doing yoga poses on a mat on the floor.

’Isn’t this the wrong area for yoga?’

’What the hell is she doing here?’

The woman’s hair covered her face, so he couldn’t see what she looked like, but her body was truly amazing. Her perky butt and the S-curve of her stretched-out back were especially captivating.

’With a body like that, she must be showing off on purpose to attract the men working out in the equipment area, right?’

After all, many of the people who came to this gym from the office building were executives, maybe even a few bosses. This was one way to land a rich man.

’But isn’t her goal a little too obvious?’

Just as Chen Jincheng was wondering about this, the woman got up. She looked surprised to see him and greeted him, "Mr. Chen, you’re here."

"Miss Li, so it’s you. I was just wondering which beauty had such a great body." Chen Jincheng was floored.

He had just remembered that she said last night she would be waiting for him at the gym.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Chen." Li Muchen was quite happy to be praised for her figure.

A woman enjoys being appreciated, and as long as the person giving the compliment wasn’t someone she disliked, she would gladly accept it.

Chen Jincheng smiled and started his workout on the rowing machine.

He wanted to see just how long this woman could keep up her act.

For the next three days, Chen Jincheng went to Kaiyue every day to work out and burn through his Constitution Points.

To his surprise, however, Li Muchen really knew how to play it cool. Every day, he would deliberately string her along, intentionally bringing up long-form videos in front of her, mentioning how the data for Lin Leqing’s two videos was getting better and better. Then, just as she got excited, he would suddenly change the subject, teasing her.

He didn’t expect that after three days, she still hadn’t said a word about it. ’Has her mouth lost the ability to speak?’

...

「Another morning.」

Chen Jincheng climbed off of Ximeng and habitually lit a cigarette, blowing out a cloud of smoke.

Last night, he’d gone "fishing" on his social media feed again.

And she had been the first fish to bite.

The girl leaned against his chest coquettishly. "Boss, you’ve gotten so much stronger since you started working out. I like you more and more."

Green tea girls always know how to say things that give a man that emotional high.

So, how could anyone not like a green tea girl?

"But, could you maybe not go for so many rounds," Ximeng added at the end.

That was probably her honest opinion.

Chen Jincheng had no intention of responding to her comment.

He still had Constitution Points left to burn, and the enhanced constitution came with an assisted recovery effect, which was why he could be so unrestrained. Once the points were gone, the recovery effect would disappear, and he wouldn’t be able to play like this even if he wanted to.

Still, he had definitely gotten stronger.

His stamina, for instance, had increased significantly.

He looked at the Constitution Points in the game-like interface in his mind: 425.

He had already used up nearly one-fifth of his Constitution Points.

The increase in his constitution was already very noticeable.

He’d even done a few experiments. Many people in the fitness community weren’t as strong as he was now.

It wasn’t that people in the fitness world were weak, but most of them just bulked up on protein. It was all show muscle, not functional strength. Those who know, know.

Wasn’t there that video of a fight going around? A guy covered in muscles was pinned to the ground and beaten until he cried by a skinny-looking dude. Even the police were baffled when they arrived.

It was later revealed that the other guy was an army veteran.

Moreover, over the past three days, he had also done some comparative research based on reports on the limits of the human body and made a rough estimate:

When he had consumed 200-300 Constitution Points, his physique should be on par with that of a special forces soldier.

At 400 points, it should be equivalent to the level of world record holders in track and field, weightlifting, boxing, and so on. Of course, their records were in single disciplines, whereas his enhancement would be all-around.

As for the remaining 100 points, that should represent a level that even those record holders would find hard to surpass.

Some might say, ’Special forces soldiers are weak? One of them could probably take on several athletes in a fight, right?’

In a fight, that’s true. But this was a discussion of physical constitution, not fighting ability.

Special forces soldiers are very strong; their overall constitution, physical fitness, and endurance definitely surpass those of an athlete. However, a world-record-holding athlete would absolutely crush a special forces soldier in their specific discipline.

Just think about why special forces soldiers don’t compete in the Olympics, and you’ll understand.
