"Hu…" Wen Jiexi grabbed the towel folded neatly beside her and wiped the sweat off her forehead. This was her first time doing such an exercise, and although she was sweating, she did not feel uncomfortable but feel carefree and refreshed instead. This feeling probably could only be felt by those who have lived a fragile and sickly life for a long time.
Then, as she lifted her head, she saw her father's nervous and anxious face.
"Little Xi, do you feel uncomfortable? Is it ok for you to move like this?" Looking at the stunning exercise speed, can a human even move like that? He doubted his eyes and thought it might be time to visit the optometrist but…with his sweating daughter right in front of him, he could no longer deny it.
"I'm fine, dad." In front of the horrified and shocked Wen Shan, Wen Jiexi turned around and jumped up. After doing an hour of exercise, she didn't feel tired, but energetic instead. And after hearing the two Ding! Ding! sounds that signified the completion of the mission, her mood improved even more. I wonder what the mission panel looks like now? However, she didn't want to look at it in from of her father and waved at him,
"Dad, I'm going to go take a shower."
"Huh? Ah…go ahead." Wen Shan nodded, watched his daughter go up the stairs and enduring the surging waves in his heart, sent a video he took of his daughter to his wife and son.
At the tea party full of wealthy and influential ladies, Tan Yashi was discussing her domestic life when her cell phone vibrated. She opened the message with a confused face. Pfffft- the tea sprayed out of her mouth and she quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth. Ignoring the lady who looked at her strangely, she stared intently at her phone.
Meanwhile, in a conference room, a group of executives was shocked to see the successful and unshakeable man in front of them look at his phone with his mouth wide open, as if he had seen a ghost! No, weren't they the ones who were seeing a ghost right now?!
In the video it looked like a real-life superman was doing sit-tup repeatedly and when the subject noticed the camera it even flashed a smile and made a 'Yeah!' peace sign gesture.
Little sister/daughter! What is wrong with you?! Something is possessing her!
In the bathroom, Wen Jiexi undressed and soaked herself in the hot water. She had no idea that her workout would scare the living daylights out of her mother and brother. She opened up the mission panel and saw that both side missions had disappeared and besides the line on the top, the number went from (0/100) to (2/100). It seemed like these two tasks were too simple, it could barely be seen, causing Wen Jiexi to laugh bitterly.
Looking at the value and the hard to see color in the main mission's progress bar, it was quite depressing.
"Wahahaha, see, Jiexi, didn't I tell you it would be easy to complete missions! You can do a dozen missions every day, and there is no time limit, so you can do them slowly as well. Isn't it great to do missions!" Dango floated in the water, laughing.
"But it's still too slow." Wen Jiexi was distressed. At this rate, even if she did twenty missions a day it wouldn't be enough.
"Well, other than the missions, doing normal things can help you too." Dango pointed at the basket full of shampoo and other products,
"Try lifting that."
After hearing its words, she hesitantly looked at the basket and lifted it up, wow! Effortlessly she lifted it as if it weighed nothing! This strength really is…guess I need to start monitoring my strength.
"Then what do I do?" Wen Jiexi turned around and asked.
"Just hold it up. Isn't that what 'lifting' something means?" Dango said it as if it was to be expected as a matter of course.
Such sound logic, I can't refute it! Wen Jiexi pursued her lips and kept holding the basket, above her head. It was effortless for her anyway, so it wasn't too hard.
About a minute later, a sudden Ding sound popped out and she opened up her mission panel. Then she saw a「+35」appear before it was sucked up by the progress bar.
"That's it?" Wen Jiexi was surprised.
"No, you can't just hold this basket every day, and there is a limit on how many times you lift something and there might be a time limit. Everything will be different and will depend on a person's living habits. For example, you can probably gain a few more 'points' three to five times…eh, as for something without a limit on them…I guess it would be something like a dumbbell."
Listening to Dango's words, Wen Jiexi continued to hold up the basket for a few more minutes. After the fourth Ding no matter how long she waited, there was no sound. With no other choice, she helplessly set it down. It looked like she had to buy a dumbbell, but she couldn't just walk around holding a dumbbell everywhere. That would be too weird. She'll just ask her father to renovate the storage room upstairs into a gym for her. If she remembered correctly, a gym would have equipment that would be heavy enough for her to lift and gain 'points' from. As long as she worked out every day in the gym, she should be able to get good results.
The Wen Jiexi who was secretly calculating everything in her heart, got up, dried her body, got dressed, and walked out of the bathroom.
The moment she walked out, she found three pairs of eyes looking at her.
"Um…mother, brother, when did you come back?" As she said so, she glanced up at the clock. She wasn't in there for long, so how come everyone had come back already? And they were looking at her like a rare animal, making her feel anxious.
"Little Xi, look at this, is this you? It must be something generated by the computer, right? Please don't scare your brother and tell me." Wen Linshu handed her his phone, playing the video Wen Shan sent them. He was the first one to walk up to her, looking up and down her body in disbelief.
"Yes, that is me." Wen Jiexi scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Move, Linshu, get out of the way." Frowning slightly, Tan Yashi pushed Linshu out of the way, grabbed a towel and wiped Wen Jiexi's wet hair.
"How can you come out without drying your hair? Be careful or you'll get a headache later."
"Hahaha." Wen Jiexi could only laugh dryly at this. Previously, when she was younger, she ran out without drying her hair. One slight breeze later, she fainted. Then she had a high fever for one day and one night. The entire time her mother, father and brother ignored everything else and stayed by her side. Even Dr. Huang was with her 24/7. They were all afraid she would die then. Even with her body completely fine now, her family couldn't help but worry with a heavy heart.
Ten minutes later, her hair was dry and the entire family sat down on the sofa while she sat in the seat across from them. Feeling three pairs of fiery eyes staring at her, Wen Jiexi couldn't help but be envious of the invisible Dango. Speaking of Dango, he was floating around the plate of fruit on the table, probably drooling as well.
"Little Xi….just what the hell is going on with your body?" Seeing the glances from his wife and son, feeling that it was his duty as the family head to begin, coughed, but before he could say more than a sentence, he was stopped by the look in Wen Jiexi's eyes. He felt like he had done something wrong to this innocent child.
"I do not know what is going on either. When I woke up, I felt like my whole body had changed. I don't know what's happening either." Wen Jiexi smiled bitterly. Just yesterday she was a sickly, almost dead girl but today she had transformed into another person. If it wasn't for the last ten years of illness, even she would've thought she was faking it the whole time. But how can she explain it? Glancing at the creature who couldn't be called a ghost or human, Wen Jiexi sighed.
"Aiya! Father, why do you ask such things? Little Xi is still little Xi. Nothing has changed." Wen Linshu said with a smile and patted Wen Jiexi's head.
"Yes, that's right. As long as her body's getting better, it is good news. Who cares about the cause, now she can live a normal life." Tan Yashi said, her eyes red.
"Mom, calm down." Wen Jiexi took out a tissue and handed it to Tan Yashi, patted her back gently, and then gave her father a glare of disapproval.
The Wen Shan who was forced to ask this question and then was glared at by his daughter: "…." AHHHHHH! My heart hurts! Who can understand my pain ~~
"By the way, Dad, Mom, Brother, I want some fitness equipment." Wen Jie rubbed her hands together and stated her original purpose.
"Fitness equipment? Why do you need those things for?" Wen Shan raised an eyebrow.
"Although my body is getting better now, I still need to exercise in order to maintain its shape, so I want some fitness equipment." This was the excuse Wen Jiexi thought of earlier and assuredly spoke to them, with anticipation in her eyes.
Wen Linshu was the first to lose. Facing his younger sister's expectant look, how can he, her older brother, not satisfy her wish! It would be shameful if he didn't!
"Little Xi, leave it to me! I'll have someone bring over some equipment tomorrow." He vowed and almost patted his chest as if he would guarantee it with his life.
"We'll do as Linshu said. The storage room is full of unwanted things anyways, it would be better to clean it up and convert it into a gym." Tan Yashi nodded, obviously agreeing with the proposal.
The once again neglected Wen Shan: "…" What's the use of being the head of the family?!
Unexpectedly, the troublesome matter that had plagued her heart was solved this quickly. Wen Jiexi was in a very good mood as she jumped up and walked back into her room. Seeing this, the three people watching her couldn't help but smile.
"Little Xi has changed." Wen Linshu sighed, remembering the Wen Jiexi who sat in her bed quietly. Previously she was limited to a few things and wasn't allowed to do anything. Although there was always a smile on her face, one could feel she wasn't really happy. Just then was the first time she looked genuinely happy.
"I just hope that this sudden miracle stays for good. Even if it's only a few days, at least let little Xi experience the happiness of living like a normal child." Saying so, Tan Yashi was about to cry again.
"Hey, hey, don't cry anymore. This kind of miracle should be celebrated, why are you crying for." Wen Shan helplessly patted Tan Yashi's back.
"Yes, you're right, I must immediately tell Wang Ma to prepare a big dinner tonight!" Saying so, Tan Yashi quickly got up and energetically walked away.
"Ah, I must quickly contact the fitness company. I need to tell them to send the equipment and a group of people to install it. I must finish this before school starts and give it to Little Xi as a congratulatory gift." Wen Linshu took out his phone and walked towards the balcony.
The Wen Shan who was abandoned for the third time, helplessly stretched out his hand,
Wait, at least give me something to do!
