August 3, 2025. Sunday.
24°C–31°C, cloudy turning to clear.

"Haaa—!"
10:00 AM.
In the center of the living room, Lin Shen collapsed from exhaustion after holding a horse stance for just three minutes.
He slumped onto the yoga mat, gasping for breath, his legs trembling uncontrollably.
According to guides on Xiaohongshu, horse stances and Kegel exercises are the most effective ways to enhance male performance.
So, Lin Shen lay flat on the floor and followed the exercises in a video playing on his iPad.
Glute bridge abductions, supine hip openers, triangle glute bridges...
After one set of the routine, Lin Shen felt like he was about to lose all feeling in his lower body.
But the good news was, the workout was quite effective.
Lin Shen picked up his phone and casually opened a new interface that had appeared in the ReceivePal app.
Although the [Personal Panel] was obtained through a GoGo Maps quest, it opened inside ReceivePal.
Lin Shen deduced that ReceivePal was likely the source of all the modded apps—the main interface for the whole "game," so to speak.
After all, it was the one in charge of paying out the money!
[Constitution: 72/72 (Healthy+)]
[Spirit: 68/70 (Calm+)]
[Kidney Power: 65/70 (Virile)]
"Not bad!"
Seeing his Constitution and Spirit Attribute both restored to their maximum, Lin Shen felt a little thrilled.
The Kidney Power stat, in particular, made him quite excited for a moment.
Going from 57 to 65 was only an increase of eight points, but that leap had already pushed him beyond the average person’s level.
’It seems those online guides are pretty useful after all.’
Of course, the 55% boost to exercise effectiveness and the "no degradation" perk also played a big part.
After figuring things out over this period, Lin Shen had come to fully appreciate the wonders of the modded Sports Health app.
Whether he was running or working out his chest and abs, he could clearly feel the changes in his muscle groups.
From normal, to sore, and back to normal again.
It was a kind of bliss only fitness enthusiasts could understand.
"Time for an extra set!"
After resting enough, Lin Shen was about to start some push-ups for his chest.
Just then, a knock suddenly came from the door.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—!
"Sis! I’m here!"
’Sis?’
Lin Shen froze for a second. When he opened the door, he found a rather short young woman standing before him.
She was wearing a pale yellow, floral-print long dress, her hair tied into two pigtails with flower-shaped ties.
A crossbody bag was slung over her chest, and behind her, she pulled a suitcase covered in cartoon stickers.
Her round face was exceptionally cute and charming, giving Lin Shen a sense of déjà vu.
’Wait, no!’
’I have seen her somewhere before!’
"You are..."
"Brother-in-law! You don’t even recognize me?"
The girl pointed to the tip of her nose, her smile incredibly sweet.
"I’m Gu Wanqing~"
"Qingqing?"
Lin Shen’s expression was one of utter shock. He scanned Gu Wanqing meticulously from head to toe.
’They say a girl changes dramatically by the time she’s eighteen, but isn’t this change a bit too much?!’
Lin Shen had seen her once before, back when Gu Wanqing was a sophomore in high school.
At the time, she was in her school uniform—petite and with an ordinary appearance that wouldn’t stand out in a crowd.
