Name: Bai Ye
Lifespan: 18/76 Strength: 1.2+ Constitution: 1.1+ Spirit: 1.2+ Charm: 1.3+ Unused Attribute Points: 0.4 Talent 1: [Neverending]: No limits, no bottlenecks, no weaknesses, just get stronger through effort! Talent 2: [Margin of the Strong]: Each point of attribute increase grants an additional 0.1 unused attribute points.
Description: None
The entire attribute panel was simple and easy to understand, with no explanations. Looking at the 0.4 unused attribute points, Bai Ye hesitated before adding any.
After all, he understood the principle of starting easy and then getting difficult. He should wait until it became hard to improve his attributes before trying to use the points. So, he should first try out this talent called Neverending.
I remember what that post from my previous life said, something about getting stronger through training?
Bai Ye looked at the clock on the opposite wall. The time was already 8:19. That meant he had half an hour before class started.
And the school was about two kilometers away from where he was. If he walked to school like he used to, he'd definitely be late.
Should I just run there? After all, running counts as exercise. Bai Ye thought for a moment, then immediately grabbed his schoolbag and rushed out the door towards the school.
The cool morning breeze brushed against Bai Ye's cheeks, gradually clearing his mind. Looking at the hurried passersby, Bai Ye thought, Since I've chosen to exercise, I should go all out.
The next moment, his originally steady jog changed. Under the surprised gazes of the people around him, he ran towards the school at full speed, like a gust of wind.
Two kilometers! For Bai Ye, who was usually in pretty good shape, it would take him just over ten minutes of jogging to get there without breaking a sweat.
But running at full speed now was a huge test of his will, stamina, and endurance.
In the first 400 meters, the unrestrained expenditure of energy brought him a strange sense of comfort. There was no discomfort at all from running at full speed, and he even felt confident that he could keep going.
But Bai Ye's reason told him that these were just illusions brought on by his initial energy levels. The real pain would come in the second half.
After sprinting at full speed for 300 meters, his breathing began to become slightly erratic, and the illusion of abundant stamina began to fade.
His legs gradually began to feel heavy, and his speed started to decrease, his skin sweating as it worked to dissipate heat.
When he'd run 800 meters at full speed, he could feel the feeling of being out of control.
Each step was like trudging through a muddy swamp. Fatigue and weakness spread throughout his body. From here, his speed began to drop significantly, and he was drenched in sweat.
After 1500 meters, he felt like his heart was about to leap out of his chest. His muscles ached as if they were on fire. His breathing was labored, like a bellows, and he felt a distinct pain with each breath. Large beads of sweat streamed down his body, and the thought of giving up kept surfacing in his mind.
But the only thing that remained unchanged throughout the entire ordeal was the calm in his eyes.
Nine minutes later, at Midtown High School, Bai Ye, under the astonished gazes of his classmates and the teacher, took his final, difficult step, setting foot in the doorway of Class Two, Grade Two.
Almost the moment Bai Ye entered the classroom, the school bell rang, which meant that he wasn't late.
"Teacher...hello," Bai Ye greeted the shocked teacher on the podium, his voice breaking as he felt the pain in his lungs with each breath.
"Did you run all the way to school? You're drenched in sweat. Never mind, just go back to your seat," the teacher said, watching Bai Ye practically shuffle towards his desk.
The teacher watched Bai Ye, his face covered in sweat, make his way to his seat. After he sat down, the teacher continued the lesson.
Beside him, a skinny, blonde-haired boy looked at the panting Bai Ye curiously and whispered, "Bai Ye, what happened to you? Don't tell me you were really almost late and ran all the way to class."
"Yeah," Bai Ye mumbled in response, then glanced at the student beside him, Peter Parker.
Having just awakened to his past life's memories, he suddenly realized that the chatty classmate next to him was the Spider-Man from the movies. However, he hadn't been bitten by the spider yet.
While dealing with Peter's incessant questioning, Bai Ye casually opened his attribute panel, not caring if anyone around him noticed.
He had discovered at home that when he opened the attribute panel, it didn't appear in the mirror, meaning only he could see it.
But after opening the panel, he was stunned because a few lines of text had appeared in the previously blank description section.
Explanation:
You completed a run of 2024 meters in total, with an average pace of 4 minutes and 42 seconds per kilometer, repeated 5328 times. Your body has sustained 0.12% long-term damage, which will self-repair when your physique reaches 1.5.
Strength reduced by 43%, strength limit increased by 2.7%. Repeat 193 times to increase strength limit by 0.1. Stamina consumption 74%, endurance limit increased by 2.2%. Repeat 65 times to increase physique limit by 0.1. Will consumption 46%, will limit increased by 4.3%. Repeat 356 times to increase mental limit by 0.1. …
As long as he repeated it a maximum of 356 times, he could increase all three attributes by 0.1?
Bai Ye's eyes lit up as he looked at the explanation. This was practically telling him in a data-driven way exactly what he needed to do next.
And this was just the exercise effect of running. What about other exercises? Full-power push-ups? Full-power sit-ups? Full-power squats? Would the exercise effects be even better? "But only increasing by 0.1 after more than three hundred repetitions, is it a bit too little? Reaching the level of the Hulk, with hundreds of thousands of strength points, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in a lifetime. I have to make every second count."
Thinking of this, Bai Ye, feeling that time was of the essence, got up after recovering some of his stamina and raised his hand. "Teacher, I feel a little dizzy. I want to go to the infirmary to have a look."
The teacher silently looked at Bai Ye and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Peter, you take Bai Ye to the infirmary."
"Teacher, no need to trouble Peter, I can go myself," Bai Ye shook his head.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ye stood up and sprinted out of the classroom, leaving the entire class staring in astonishment.
Watching Bai Ye's quick departure, gone in a flash, the whole class was dumbfounded. You, are you even going to pretend to skip class?
