A familiar game interface appeared on the light screen.
In the center of the screen was a 3D model of Tang Song, lifelike and detailed, wearing only a pair of shorts.
Above his head floated a line of eye-catching golden data: Charisma: 24.
Tang Song rubbed his eyes hard, suspecting that the fake alcohol he drank last night, combined with overwhelming sadness, had caused hallucinations.
However, the light screen remained suspended in front of him, visible even when he closed his eyes.
Although "Male God Growth Plan" is a simulation-based management game, it is essentially a male idol cultivation game.
The main task is to enhance the charisma of the game character and become a true "male god."
The game evaluates charisma through a comprehensive scoring system.
It takes into account appearance, aesthetics, demeanor, cultivation, abilities, assets, social status, and more.
A charisma score of 24 could only be described as very average.
Tang Song raised his hand, trying to touch his character model.
As soon as this thought arose, a click effect appeared on the character model, and the game interface directly jumped to the personal center.

After briefly browsing through the personal information, a crisp notification sounded again:
"Ding! The main storyline has been activated."
Immediately, a dazzling progress bar appeared at the top of the personal center.
Nine nodes were evenly distributed along it:
24' (Starting Charisma) ... 30º ... 40º ... 50º ... 60º ... 70º ... 80º ... 90º ... 100º
Starting from "30," each node had a wobbly golden treasure chest floating above, seemingly waiting to be claimed.
Plot Summary: When the player's charisma score reaches a certain threshold, corresponding levels of assets and privileges will be unlocked in reality.
Note 1: Your achievements in the game may not be mere illusions. Continuously complete system tasks and improve yourself to receive the rewards you've always dreamed of.
Note 2: When the charisma score reaches 30, the "Growth Plan Mission" will officially be unlocked.
"This... what is this?" Tang Song stared blankly ahead.
Having played "Male God Growth Plan" for so long, he had, of course, dreamed of something similar—and more than once.
But it had never been this clear and real.
If possible, who wouldn't want to undergo a magnificent transformation?
A male god's level of looks, a healthy and vibrant body, wealth to spend freely, and a life without regrets...
He wanted it. He dreamed of it!
He tentatively used his consciousness to touch the treasure chest above the 30 charisma mark.
A system notification immediately popped up:
"You are 6 charisma points away from unlocking this reward. Keep improving yourself!"
At that moment, another notification sounded:
"Ding! Congratulations, player, you have received a Starter Pack *1."
"Woosh," a golden glowing gift pack appeared, dazzling and exquisite.
Tang Song swallowed hard and touched it with his mind.
The gift pack shook a few times and then opened immediately.
"Ding! You have acquired the passive skill: Male God Aura (LV1)."
Male God Aura (LV1): Optimizes sleep quality, helping the player enter deep sleep faster for a better rest experience.
(Aura Effect: Your first smile each day grants ¥200 in cash rewards, with a 0.1% chance of an additional critical reward.)
Note: This skill can be upgraded.
Passive skill? Cash rewards?
Tang Song suppressed his excitement, took a deep breath, and tried to form a smiling expression.
"Dingdong——" A text message notification rang.
"China Merchants Bank: Your account ending in 6800 received ¥200.00 on April 2, 00:09."
Seeing the bank deposit information, Tang Song gasped.
What the heck! Is this real!?
He bit his lower lip hard.
"Hiss——"
The pain was unprecedentedly intense.
Everything before could be explained as a hallucination, but the tangible monetary reward before him strongly confirmed the system's existence.
His blood surged, and the pounding of his heart roared in his ears like a drumbeat.
Forget about the enormous assets he could unlock in the game. Just this passive skill, Male God Aura, could significantly boost his happiness index.
Earning ¥200 daily without working, totaling ¥6,000 a month, added to his ¥9,000 monthly salary, made for a total monthly income exceeding ¥15,000.
In Yan City, a second-tier city, that would qualify as high-income. Buying a car or house would no longer be a dream!
After a quick shower and locking his door, Tang Song began exploring the system interface in front of him.
The overall style was consistent with "Male God Growth Plan," but many modules were missing, such as the critical character management, asset blueprint, and financial market sections.
The task hall, shop, and warehouse were all empty.
The entire system seemed barren.
Returning to the main interface, Tang Song looked at the glaring charisma score of 24 above his character's head and shook his head self-deprecatingly.
In "Male God Growth Plan," characters created by players started with a charisma score of 30.
Now, he hadn't even reached this basic value.
Closing the system interface, Tang Song stood in front of the full-length mirror and carefully examined himself.
His body was slack, with a layer of fat around his belly.
Dark circles under his eyes, swollen eye bags, sallow and dull skin, dry and frizzy hair.
Nasolabial folds, sagging cheeks, and a double chin—facial fat blurred his jawline.
From a physical standpoint, there was indeed much room for improvement.
Combining this with his current situation—a regular company employee with no house, car, or partner, and a messy life—it was no wonder his charisma score was so low.
"Ding! You have triggered the challenge mission: Restraint and Persistence. Please check the task center."
Tang Song was stunned. He hadn't expected to trigger a task so easily!
He checked the task details.
Task Objective: Obesity greatly increases the burden on your body and the risk of various diseases. Your challenge is to lose 9 kg within 20 days and return to a normal weight range.
Task Reward: Lung Strengthening Elixir *1
Task Progress: 0%
He checked the item details.
Lung Strengthening Elixir: Improves lung health, increases lung capacity, enhances physical resistance, boosts metabolism, Constitution +2, Endurance +1.
Note: What's the secret to longevity? Keep breathing and don't stop.
A game item that enhances basic attributes!
Tang Song's eyes sparkled with excitement, itching to get started.
Lose weight! He had to lose weight!
Losing 18 pounds in 20 days meant almost a pound per day.
Fortunately, his starting weight made it relatively achievable.
He had made numerous resolutions before to exercise, lose fat, and maintain a disciplined routine.
But he always gave up after a few days of slacking off.
Ultimately, it was a lack of sufficient motivation and willpower.
Now, with game assets manifesting in reality, a clear main storyline to success was laid before him.
What excuse did he have not to try?
In addition to losing weight, he needed to improve himself in other aspects.
He aimed to raise his charisma score to 30 as quickly as possible.
