I can say that I've been through 6 days of intense grinding. The only thing I did for fun in the last 6 days was to improve my skills and teach Ethan how to play his ukulele.
I have to say the little boy has a talent for playing the ukulele, he's been taking it everywhere since it arrived. The first song he tried to learn to play was The Lazy Song because I told him it was the best song for the instrunt.
Even though he struggled with his motor skills to change the notes of the song quickly, he got better and better.
I think the skill teaching that I did further improved the speed that he learned with his high talent, to the point that in just a few days he was playing the Lazy Song all over the house.
But other than that, I didn't do anything really fun anymore, everything I did was focused on improving my skills and losing weight, which over ti started to take its toll on my ntal health.
I think since I ca into this world, my only focus has been on the system and how I can use it to develop faster in various areas, but as interesting as that is, I was afraid of burning out, so after I finished editing the Lazy Song video, while I had sent it to Selena and showed the video to my family, I got lost in thoughts of what fun things I could do to pass the ti.
While I was thinking, I took another look at my status screen.

=========================
The amount of stats I gained this week was huge, mainly because I changed my diet to sothing that would focus on losing weight and gaining strength.
The workouts I was doing now also included a focus on increasing my Agility, which was very low, and I finally gained a point in Wisdom.
How did I get that point? I don't know, I was so focused on thinking about the best ways to develop the skills that it eventually went up.
Which was great, because the improvent from 9 to 10 points was very significant and helped a lot with planning decisions.
Learning Spanish was easier than I thought it would be. I think the difficulty I had in my old world made a little worried that it would be difficult in this world, but with the system there was no difficulty. As long as I put my mind to it, I was sure I could learn it in no ti, so I beca more confident.
I even discovered that watching videos and movies in Spanish helped gain experience points in the Spanish skill, which was very useful.
Now, thinking about what I could do for fun, I had several ideas, but none of them excited very much.
I thought about using so of the money I'd earned from the artwork to buy so computer gas to take my mind off things while I played, but that just seed like a waste of ti... I couldn't think of anything that was just for fun, it seed like I wanted sothing that was fun but still useful.
One of the things I thought about was going out and playing sports with other kids my age, but since everyone in that neighborhood was from my school and I didn't like anybody and nobody liked , it wasn't very useful.
"You didn't like it?" Olivia asked, looking at worriedly.
"What?" I asked confused.
"Everyone loves the video you made, the animation is so cool, but you keep frowning like you don't like it." She explained.
Looking around, my parents and Ethan had big smiles on their faces as Ethan held his little ukulele and strumd the notes of the song along with what was coming out of the speaker.
Watching Ethan move to the music that was playing, I was a little confused.
Picking up my phone, I searched for Guitar Hero and realized there was no such thing. Switching to rhythm gas, I was surprised that there weren't any really well-designed ones.
The computer gas were all very focused on sports or combat, but the music-thed gas were very basic and poor, so much so that it was reflected in the number of players, which was extrely low compared to the other gas.
Looking again at how much fun Ethan was having strumming the notes on his ukulele, I had an idea.
If I can't find useful gas that can help level up and have fun, why can't I?
Just the thought of that made my mind work at high speed with various tactics on how I could make such a ga, mixing elents from the gas in my previous world that worked and would make the ga I made in this world a success.
But looking at my programming skills...
[Programming Skill Lv17:
Effect: Deepens the understanding of programming, accelerating learning by 17% and facilitating more effective adaptation to new languages and concepts by 17%. Also improves retention of algorithms and practical application during software developnt. Gain a tangible advantage by absorbing the essential fundantals of programming and improving your practical skills].
The skill level was still low... sure, it had gone up a lot in the last week, a total of 8 levels, but that was still far from what I would need to make a ga like I was planning.
But the thought of challenging myself to make such a ga, improving my skills while doing so, planning the steps, the user experience, the monetization options, all to make sothing I would enjoy and have fun making and playing, made finally find what I was looking for.
I ntally gave this project a na that I would devote myself to in my spare ti.
[Guitar Festival Project].
The na was still tentative, but just the thought of developing it over the next few months got excited, not to ntion that if it was successful, it would be a possible great source of inco for .
But with my current level, I was still far from being able to do that, so I would take my ti.
"Noah, answer ." Olivia huffed angrily as she looked at .
"I'm sorry, Liv, I got distracted thinking about so things." I apologized regretfully for ignoring her in the middle of her speech.
Sighing, she replied. "You're too focused these days, even in the middle of our conversation you're focused on sothing else. Take it easy Noah, you have ti."
I was surprised that she recognized that, so I smiled as I reached out and stroked her head. "Thank you."
Unlike the other tis, this ti she didn't let go of my hand and let stroke her head.
In the last few weeks our relationship has developed very well, with training together and talking about my channel and my music career, our friendship is much better, and she trusts more to talk about routine things, even to get things off her chest.
I was surprised when she ca to this week to vent about a girl at school she didn't get along with.
Luckily, Liv wasn't as much of an idiot as the old Noah, instead of just keeping quiet, she fought back and taunted the girl in the sa way the girl treated her, which earned her my thumbs up.
I realized she was telling this because she was afraid I would find out at school and be disappointed in her for acting like the boy who bullied , but after I supported her, she felt more comfortable talking about this kind of thing, so every day during practice she would fill in on the school gossip and the things she and this girl had been discussing.
"Noah, this cartoon is aweso!" Ethan exclaid as the song ended.
I looked at my parents and noticed that they too had big, proud, shocked smiles on their faces.
"I never knew you were so good at this, now I can understand how you make so much money..." My father said in shock as he looked between and the drawing of my character on the screen.
Laughing, I added. "People on the Internet wouldn't be stupid enough to pay that much for a drawing of soone who does it badly."
Looking at the screen, my mother also had a big, proud smile on her face. "I thought it was funny how you made the other dancers in the video dance to the lyrics, I just think you should change the part where you say the word that starts with S..."
"Mom..." I mumbled jokingly, since we'd already had this conversation when she heard Ethan singing the song and singing the part that says s*x.
"Sorry, it's okay, I'll stop..." She laughed, knowing this wasn't the ti to talk about it.
As I chatted with them and asked them a few questions about the process of making this clip, Selena also answered excitedly.

I made a channel on Discord with the songs Noah sang and a playlist in case anyone wants to listen to the songs and see the music video Noah based them on: Discord.gg/NunuXD
