Chapter 23: Life is Essential Ga_1
“Kid, get up, I know you’ve got a strong body, but no one asked you to do push-ups…” The owner of the breakfast shop was baffled. What’s with youngsters these days?
Ren He didn’t know that his actions had left a psychological shadow on the owner, who, from that day on, never again dared to praise anyone’s physical strength…
1, 2, 3… 56!
Ren He’s muscles began to sour at the 56th push-up; it was a sign that his explosive power had reached its limit, and from then on, it was all about willpower!
At this point, people eating breakfast started to put down their chopsticks and watch Ren He do push-ups. They thought he was moving really fast, but like the owner, they didn’t understand why he was doing it…
Ren He didn’t care about the stares from others; completing the task was more important to him than anything else at the mont.
His blood began to boil, and at the 80th push-up, it seed like every subsequent push-up was akin to agony.
Each heave of his body felt like completing a cycle of reincarnation!
His sweat hadn’t co out yet; sotis exercise is strange like that. You don’t sweat during, but you end up drenched afterwards.
In his previous life, Ren He had never imagined he could do so many push-ups; back then, he couldn’t get up after ten.
This lifeti, given a chance to start over, he savored the process of his blood burning!
More and more people gathered to watch him, but he suddenly beca imrsed in his own world, focusing solely on completing each push-up!
Keep your spine straight, breathe rhythmically!
89! 90!
Upon completing the last push-up, Ren He even felt a sense of transcendence, challenging one’s limits was nothing more than this!
When he stood up, he realized that so many people were watching him, and so were even recording videos…
“Cough cough, there’s nothing to see here, everyone, please disperse,” Ren He said, as if nothing had happened.
Soone asked, “Kid, why did you suddenly start doing push-ups?”
“Forced by life…” Ren He answered and walked away. At that mont, he couldn’t bother with anyone else because the Divine Punishnt System had sent a ssage!
“Congratulations to the host for completing the task of doing 90 push-ups within a minute. You have been rewarded with ‘Etic Water’, which can be used three tis and activated by thought.”
Damn, what kind of reward is this? I busted my ass doing all those push-ups thinking I’d get sothing good, and this is what I get?
Are you kidding ?!
It sounds really dodgy, okay?!
And how am I supposed to use this thing? They say they gave
water, but I don’t see any water!
Just as Ren He was puzzled about how to use this thing, a middle-aged man suddenly patted him on the shoulder: “Hi there, I’m a reporter from the entertainnt section of the Luo City Evening News. I happened to be having breakfast in that shop, and I want to interview you… Blegh!”
The reporter, mid-sentence, suddenly threw up, wasting everything he had eaten that morning. Ren He quickly dodged, his expression incredibly awkward as if he was struggling not to laugh.
He slowly shuffled away, silently chanting in his heart, “Sorry, sorry, it was an accident, definitely an accident…”
Even after he had walked about a hundred or two hundred ters away, the reporter was still throwing up without stopping, probably everything including bile!
That made Ren He feel a bit embarrassed, but hey, there was no helping it. At the ti, he was figuring out how to use that potion. Who would have thought he’d just subconsciously…
“This Etic Water is pretty aweso,” Ren He thought, scratching his chin. It eased the dissatisfaction he initially felt when he saw the reward. Maybe this thing could be really useful at a critical mont.
At least it’s pretty interesting, right?
He suddenly felt that the Divine Punishnt System wasn’t necessarily all that serious…
Arriving at school, he went to class as usual. At this stage there were no punishnt tasks, nor any life pressures. It was the most relaxed ti, he simply needed to write the great book already ford in his mind, and he could enjoy life peacefully with the rest of his ti.
He glanced to the side and noticed Little Fatty Xu Nuo reading a very thick book. Ren He’s curiosity was piqued, “What are you reading?”
“My cousin gave it to , it’s about programming philosophy. It looks quite interesting,” said Xu Nuo.
Ren He rembered that Xu Nuo had ntioned his skills and interest in programming before. He asked, “What is programming philosophy?”
“What is programming philosophy? The answer could be very complicated, or very simple. To put it in one sentence, it’s the thinking process of solving practical problems with a computer, that is, programming philosophy,” Xu Nuo’s eyes were shining as he talked about programming.
However, Ren He was a complete novice in comparison. He was interested in other things, “Have you dabbled in website developnt or gas?”
It’s only 2005 now. Apart from entertainnt stuff, everything here is pretty much on the normal track. So brands even overlap with those in his previous life.
The lag in cultural entertainnt has affected the developnt of recreational and entertainnt activities. So are simply historic issues, resulting in a distorted developnt, while others are not so severely affected, just lagging behind.
Having observed for so ti, Ren He found that the areas lagging behind were in online entertainnt and gas!
The hottest gas at the mont are still staying at the level of gas like Red Alert, The Legend of Sword and Fairy, and Legend from his previous life. So Ren He had so ideas about this as well.
He just felt that it would be so boring if the world lacked certain gas. He was an otaku in his past life, inseparable from gas every day.
“Gas? Which kind do you an?”
“5v5 strategy type, like ten people split into two teams, then they fight…” Ren He hesitated as he explained.
Little Fatty was confused. What the heck is that? Could you be more vague?
However, explaining gas was sothing Ren He found hard to do in just a mont…
After thinking for a bit, Xu Nuo said, “Website developnt ans using markup languages through a series of design, modeling, and execution processes to transmit electronic format information via the internet, ultimately being viewed by users in the form of graphical user interfaces. I’ve helped my cousin with so modeling work. If there is a complete web design, I think I could give it a try. As for gas, I’m still a blank slate.”
A blank slate… Ren He thought about it. So projects needed to be undertaken with trustworthy people, and it was ti to direct Little Fatty Xu Nuo!
“When you study, focus a bit more on these two areas. We might have the opportunity to do sothing big in the future,” Ren He said cheerfully.
Xu Nuo took anything related to computers seriously. He nodded and agreed, “Okay!”
For so reason, Ren He felt that so of his ideas were very likely to be realized through Xu Nuo’s efforts.
