Chapter 6 [Image Change Card]

July 27, 2025, Sunday, cloudy.

Temperatures will range from 23°C to 29°C. Southeasterly winds, force less than level 3, suitable for outdoor activities.

At 8:30 in the morning, the first thing Lin Shen did after waking up was to reach for his phone next to his pillow.

「建设银行：您尾号7946的账户于07月27日00:01收入RMB1700元，当前余额：66，000」

"We're still short 34,000."

After confirming that the money had arrived, Lin Shen made his bed and began to enjoy his hard-earned weekend.

The first step is to measure weight and height.

78kg!

Standing on the body fat scale, Lin Shen looked down at the number and was overjoyed.

I lost eight pounds in just one week, the results are amazing!
Of course, in addition to his daily hard work and exercise, the 50% improvement in exercise effectiveness also helped Lin Shen a lot.

"It looks like it won't be long before I finish my weight loss."

Lin Shen walked to the wall, stood up straight with his back against it, and used the method he used to measure his height when he was a child to carve a shallow mark on the top of his head.

It is about 1 cm higher than the mark made four days ago.

So effective!?
Lin Shen was shocked.

During this period, he chewed two [Bone Strengthening Calcium Tablets] every night before going to bed, thinking that it wouldn't be effective so quickly.

It grew 1cm in just four days?!
This is nothing short of a miracle for an adult whose body has stopped developing!

Lin Shen was in an extremely pleasant mood. After washing up, he hummed a little tune and then admired himself in front of the mirror, resting his chin on his hand.

The effects of the facial slimming and exfoliation treatment made his face noticeably slimmer, and with his belly no longer protruding, his physique gradually changed from obese to robust and well-proportioned.

He's at least much more energetic than he was a week ago.

"Perhaps it's time to use the appearance-changing card."

Lin Shen considered it for a long time before finally picking up his phone and clicking on the [Image Change Card].

[Congratulations on triggering the "Image Change Card"! Please change your image within 24 hours. The credit limit is 50,000. After the time limit expires, the system will rate and settle the account based on your best image.]

"The best image, huh?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Shen decided to finish today's training tasks ahead of schedule.

The first step is to consistently run five kilometers every day.

From an initial pace of 7 minutes per kilometer to now just over 6 minutes, only Lin Shen himself knows the hardships he has endured.

After resting for a while after running, the next activities are burpees, stair climbing, and horse stance.

The first two were for weight loss, while the last one was for strengthening the kidneys.

There was nothing Lin Shen could do; although he resented Gu Wanting's temper, she was incredibly seductive in bed!

They come up with all sorts of creative tricks and try their best to meet any request.

This resulted in Lin Shen having to work during the day and "work" at night!
The kidney qi is too deficient.

In order to regain his masculine vigor, Lin Shen not only lost weight but also used various methods such as Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade) to maintain his health and enter old age ahead of time.

"call--!"

After completing the exercise plan, the morning was over.

Lin Shen made himself a light lunch, planned to take a nap, and then do a thorough cleaning of the house in the afternoon.

However, at that moment, the phone suddenly received a WeChat message.

[Qin Yuennan: I'll treat you to dinner tonight]
what?
Lin Shen was stunned for a moment.

Since adding Qin Yuennan as a WeChat friend, the two have chatted quite a bit, but most of the conversations have been about work.

Lin Shen did not shy away from this, and even offered his own suggestions with great enthusiasm.

Because they often met at the gym, their relationship gradually evolved from that of superior and subordinate to that of friends.

At least that's what Lin Shen thinks.

However, he didn't think his relationship with Qin Yuennan was good enough that she would privately invite him to dinner.

Did my advice help her?
This was the only reason Lin Shen could think of, and immediately, a slight warmth welled up inside him.

Qin Yuennan, a 28-year-old graduate of Fudan University with a master's degree in management, rose to the position of marketing director at Chongyoujia within three years of graduation, without relying on any connections.

In addition, she has a delicate face that leans towards an ascetic style, and a curvaceous and graceful figure.

If it weren't for her aloof face, she would probably be very popular.

She's the center of attention wherever she goes.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous having dinner with such a beautiful and wealthy woman.

Lin Shen was alright; he only had to think about what to wear that night, since he needed to change his image as much as possible.

After rummaging through his wardrobe, he finally chose a simple combination of a white T-shirt and gray cargo shorts.

Actually, there's not much of a choice. Lin Shen only wears a few clothes in the summer, so he just needs to arrange and combine them to find the most pleasing look.

"Maybe I should get a haircut."

Lin Shen looked in the mirror and felt it was time to change his hairstyle.

It's important to know that hairstyle is one of the biggest factors affecting a man's image, and it's often jokingly referred to online as "shared property between couples."

But the prerequisite is that you need to find a satisfactory Tony (hairdresser).

This put Lin Shen in a difficult position.

After careful consideration, he decided to indulge himself and booked a hairdresser with over 100,000 followers on Douyin.

The candidate's resume and technical skills look good, but the fee is a bit expensive.

998, including three free hair treatments.

Grab money!
Lin Shen couldn't help but complain.

Although he understood that Shanghai currency was expensive, it was still a thousand for just a wash, cut and blow-dry, without perming or dyeing.
"If the job is done badly, I will definitely call the police."

Lin Shen got up and left home. Following the address on Douyin, he took the subway to the Wujiaochang business district. After searching for a while, he finally found a barbershop called "Jason Private Customization".

The store is small, but its simple decor reveals a variety of exquisite details.

There are quite a few customers, and most of them are urban women who come to get their hair permed or dyed.

"Hello sir, how can I help you?"

"I have an appointment to get my hair cut at 3 p.m.

Lin Shen explained the situation to the front desk.

"I think the stylist's name is... Jason?"

"You must be General Manager Lin!"

The person in charge of receiving Lin Shen was a young and beautiful lady.

She seemed very excited. After asking her colleague to take over, she came out from behind the counter, smiled, bowed, and led Lin Shen into the store.

"My name is Xiaoli. Please come with me! The store manager has been waiting for you for a long time."

Mr. Lin?
This way of addressing him made Lin Shen feel quite flattered, and he also noticed that the employees' attire was quite distinctive.

Aside from the hairdressers with all sorts of bizarre hairstyles and colorful hair, the female shop assistants all wore uniforms similar to flight attendants.

A bodycon skirt paired with sheer stockings looks quite sexy.

The male shop assistants are all tall, fit men over 1.8 meters, wearing short-sleeved shirts with a few buttons undone, slightly revealing their chest muscles.

You can wipe this?

Lin Shen's eyes were opened to a whole new world.

Have I been out shopping for so long? How come hair salons have developed to this extent?
"Hello! Mr. Lin."

After Lin Shen was led by Xiao Li to sit down on a swivel chair in the corner of the store, a young man walked towards him.

He had a Japanese-style bun hairstyle, his beard was clearly well-trimmed, and his two large tattooed arms were particularly eye-catching, making him look quite unique.

"I am Tony, the stylist you booked, and Jason, the founder of this shop."

"Hello."

After shaking hands with Jason, Lin Shen muttered to himself.

Why do all these hairdressers like to give themselves English names?
