Start with push-ups to gain experience

Chapter 30 The road to becoming stronger
"drop--"

At the cashier counter, Fang Cheng took out a credit card from his bag.

After paying the bill, he walked out of the customer aisle covered with promotional posters, carrying two large bags full of things in his hands.

There is a parking lot outside the supermarket, and there is a zebra crossing past it.

Fang Cheng stood at the intersection, looking at the vehicles passing by, waiting patiently for the traffic lights.

It's Friday, around two in the afternoon, and the weekend is coming soon.

Around him were some shoppers carrying bags who looked similar to Fang Cheng.

This Runhua Supermarket is located next to Jiangdong District. It sells high-quality goods at low prices and has always done good business.

When Fang Cheng has time, he will go a little further and come here specifically to purchase supplies.

At this moment, the bag in his hand was filled with food, fruits, vegetables, fresh fish, and two large bottles of 900ml pure milk.

The red light number flickers and turns green.

Fang Cheng then followed the crowd, crossed the road and came to the other side.

There is a bus stop nearby with a direct line to Jiuchang Street.

It only takes four stops to get home.

He did not choose to take a bus, but slowed down and walked down the street.

There are restaurants and clothing stores on both sides.

The rain has stopped for half a day and the flow of people has increased significantly.

The wet patterned floor tiles are covered with dead yellow leaves.

Fang Cheng's gaze passed through the crowd and the long street and fell on a lush and eye-catching place not far away.

That is the Riverside Park located on the bank of the Tai River...

Thick smog hung in the sky, and the sun could only shone through the gaps in the clouds.

Fortunately, there was still wind, which made my face feel cool.

It has been a long time since I have strolled around like this casually, and my heart seemed to calm down.

Fang Cheng put down the shopping bag and sat alone on a bench by the river bank.

Across the turbid river is a lush green space with dozens of high-rise buildings.

That is the well-known high-end residential area in Dongdu, Cuihu Yipin.

The residents are either rich or noble. It is said that the selling price per square meter is more than 100,000 yuan, and the property security fee alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Under the flickering clouds, the green shade covered half of the building, leaving only the shining top of the building exposed.

It is like an island in the sky in the city, forming a sharp contrast with its surroundings.

Fang Cheng looked at the scenery indifferently, his eyes not focused on the opposite side.

It's too far away from me.

What he needs most now is to continuously improve his strength and firmly grasp the ever-changing fate.

So that when a disaster happens one day, you will not be able to be just a spectator or a victim.

The explosion in Xishan caused Fang Cheng to feel a little emotional.

It's like suddenly throwing a stone into a long-calm lake, causing ripples.

I called my mother this morning but the call didn't go through.

That's the nurses' desk phone number.

Fang Cheng knew that the hospital was very busy at this time, so he did not continue to disturb them.

After taking a shower, I tried to call again after a while, but the line was still busy.

Fortunately, the phone call came back after a while.

She was a nurse Fang Cheng knew, and she spoke in a hurried manner.

Apparently, because of the Xishan explosion, many family members of medical staff have been calling to inquire about the situation.

She first told Fang Cheng that Ren'an Hospital had not been affected by the wildfire for the time being.

Starting from the early morning, many wounded people were sent in one after another, making them so busy that they didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

Upon hearing this, Fang Cheng said a few words of comfort and asked her to pass on a message to Li Biyun.

It was around noon.

As expected, my mother called back and described the same situation.

Fang Cheng finally put his mind at ease.

Then he asked about his grandfather's illness.

My mother said that grandpa looks good and can drink some porridge now, but the key lies in the follow-up treatment.

When Fang Cheng mentioned the question of how much was still needed for the surgery.

She smiled slightly and said that her uncle was busy negotiating a business deal these days.

If the deal can be made, not only will my uncle pay for my grandfather's surgery, but he will also cover the wedding house for Fang Cheng to get married and start a family.

After hearing this, Fang Cheng just smiled.

I hope my uncle won’t brag like before and be more reliable in doing things.

The two of them made their conversation short, and Fang Cheng hung up the phone without disturbing his mother's rest.

Since he knew that everything was fine at the hospital, he had nothing to worry about.

I can't go visit grandpa today.

After Fang Cheng finished his self-study, he simply did a few more sets of squats and leg raises.

The sun came out in the afternoon, and then I washed and hung the clothes and cleaned the room.

After finishing housework, I feel a bit bored staying in the house, but I can't continue to exercise excessively.

So he decided to go out and relax, to unwind his body and mind after days of tension. He had just returned from the supermarket with a full load, and was going to cook a sumptuous meal tonight.

You will soon be able to become a sparring partner, which means you have entered the "high-income class" with a monthly income of over ten thousand yuan.

It doesn't cost a thing to treat yourself in advance.

What's more, you can practice your skills and gain experience at the same time.

A blue light screen appeared faintly in front of my eyes.

[Cooking skill level 0 (89/100)]

【Cleaning level 0 (91/100)】

Looking at the two skill progress bars that were about to be upgraded, Fang Cheng couldn't help but have wild thoughts.

"Cooking" and "cleaning" are both very common life skills.

I don't know what kind of enhancement rewards I will get after reaching lv1?
Maybe similar to boxing and squats, it can also increase attribute points or strengthen a certain part of the body?

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng looked at the sky which had become a little gloomy.

Then he stood up from the chair and his eyes fell on somewhere where the noise was faintly coming from.

Prepare to complete a site scouting mission before going home.

Walking on the cobblestone paths in the park.

You can see groups of elderly people practicing Tai Chi and practicing health-preserving kung fu.

There are also many fashionable young people practicing street dance or skateboarding.

From the fitness equipment area in front, loud music and cheers could be heard from afar.

A group of strong young men, with their coats taken off and their shirts bare, gathered in front of the horizontal bar.

There was a tape recorder next to it, playing some exciting dance music.

They stepped forward one by one to do fitness exercises, showing off their muscles while competing with each other.

Such as one-handed pull-ups, push-ups on the bar, space walks, and 360-degree swings.

The various difficult movements were extremely visually impactful and won cheers from the spectators.

Fang Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he joined the crowd of onlookers.

In recent years, with the development of the economy, fitness exercises have gradually become popular among the people.

Street fitness movements that emphasize individual freedom and the pursuit of personal heroism have also flourished.

From the onlookers, we learned that most of those who do fitness are sports students in school, and some are winners of amateur bodybuilding competitions.

Fang Cheng stared at their agile and flexible figures, and he also felt eager to try.

He walked to another vacant horizontal bar, gripped the pole with his overhand grip, and tried the feel.

Then he took a deep breath, tensed his arm muscles, straightened his back, and pulled his body upwards.

The movements are smooth and the posture is relaxed.

Although the muscle soreness has not been eliminated, it does not affect his ability to complete the most basic movements.

But when he raised his chin over the lever, his facial expression tensed slightly.

This performance was unremarkable. Even if someone glanced at him, they immediately turned their heads away.

Just treat it as a spur of the moment activity.

Instead, two girls who looked like fellow athletes covered their mouths and laughed, raised their fingers and pointed, as if discussing Fang Cheng's poor imitation.

indeed.

Comparing the two sides, the gap is too obvious.

Especially Fang Cheng who looks like a pretty boy and looks very thin in a jacket.

It's simply the difference between a thin dog and a wolfdog.

Pull-ups are a challenging exercise and are seen by fitness enthusiasts as a symbol of displaying masculine strength.

Fang Cheng's eyes were very calm, not affected by others at all.

Although the movements were slightly deformed, I tried my best to follow the standard and complete 10 pull-ups.

I felt a little more soreness and numbness in my arms, shoulders and back, so I didn't continue.

"It's just a test..."

Fang Cheng jumped down from the horizontal bar, shook his hands and let out a sigh of relief.

Then, he turned and left silently.

There is no shortcut to achieving overnight success in physical fitness; it only depends on accumulation bit by bit.

Even the auxiliary role of the panel is more about real-time feedback and effect solidification.

Therefore, if you want to become stronger, you still need to work hard and persevere.

This is the way to go.

However, Fang Cheng has extremely strong self-confidence.

On this road to becoming stronger, all the opponents you meet will be surpassed one by one sooner or later!

Including the weird Majima Goro who he is about to face...

"It's going to rain!"

Suddenly, a shout was heard.

A few drops of rain floated down sparsely.

Fang Cheng looked up and saw dark clouds moving rapidly from west to east.

"I hope this rain won't last too long and affect tomorrow's training..."

Muttering to himself, he quickly picked up two large bags of food and joined the crowd rushing home.
