Chapter 2: Appearance Enhancement, New Weekly Tasks
Chapter 2: Appearance Enhancement, New Weekly Tasks
However, there has been progress. After three hours of practice, Lin Ye can now dribble while walking. Although the ball still sometimes disappears from his hands while dribbling, it is a huge improvement for Lin Ye.
However, the basketball option still didn't appear on his skill panel. Lin Ye wasn't surprised by this, since he hadn't even started shooting yet.
The main reason was that there were always people on the court, so he didn't have many opportunities to go over and shoot. However, just as he was about to leave, he saw an empty hoop, and there weren't many people around.
"Want to shoot some hoops before you leave?"
Lin Ye quickly made a decision. Although he was sweating profusely, it didn't matter. He had the recovery potion, and he would recover after a good night's sleep.
With that in mind, Lin Ye began practicing shooting.
Soon, the sound of iron clubs hitting the ball could be heard repeatedly on the basketball court, along with the occasional swish of a ball going through the net.
Lin Ye didn't stop until exactly 12 o'clock. Although he was trying to lose weight, he didn't plan to diet too much. After all, he was still in the growth stage, so eating more chicken and fish would be enough.
As soon as he opened the door, he smelled the aroma of food; the old man was already sitting at the dining table.
"You're back, come and eat."
"Okay, Dad."
As he spoke, he first went to the bathroom to wash his hands before heading to the dining table.
Looking at his son, who was still quite fat but had clearly lost a lot of weight compared to before, Old Lin felt a sense of relief.
"Did you go play basketball this morning?"
"Um."
Lin Ye nodded in response while stuffing his mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.
"That's good. Boys need to exercise more. Have you lost a little weight these past few days?"
After quickly swallowing the food in his mouth, Lin Ye felt much better. He really would have starved to death if he had eaten a second slower.
"Yes, Dad, I plan to use this holiday to lose weight so that I can make a good impression on my classmates when high school starts."
"Good, not bad. I heard from your mom that you were on a diet, and it seems like you're doing well. If you need anything, just tell Dad."
"Okay, thank you, Dad."
The old man and Ms. Huang treated Lin Ye quite well. Although their son hadn't done well in school, wasn't good-looking, and had a gloomy personality, it wasn't their fault; it was purely his own problem.
The elderly couple's greatest wish for him was to watch him grow up healthy.
After finishing his meal, Lin Ye took a quick shower and then continued training. The afternoon session was roughly the same as the morning session.
The day was very fulfilling.
The next day.
Lin Ye got up at six o'clock in the morning as usual, then quickly washed up and went to the toilet. After that, he went to the scale and looked at his weight.
Lin Ye weighed 88.2kg, a direct loss of 0.8kg. This was not surprising to him, after all, he had been working so hard to lose weight every day, and at this stage, he was losing more water weight, so it was normal to lose weight quickly.
His physique also received a score of 30.
[Daily task completed, early to bed and early to rise, reward: 0.1 Appearance Value, current Appearance Value: 42.1]
Hearing the notification in his mind, Lin Ye was incredibly motivated. It felt amazing that his efforts could be rewarded through data analysis.
Lin Ye then hurriedly went out for a run. Running was no longer as tiring as it had been at the beginning; it was much easier. He completed the 5-kilometer run in just 25 minutes, which was quite fast for him.
After finishing his run, he rushed back, grabbed a basketball, and started practicing shooting. Fortunately, there was no one on the basketball court at this time. It seemed that most people came to practice basketball after having breakfast.
He practiced until eight o'clock in the morning before finally going home.
Today's process was basically the same as yesterday's, but I could clearly feel the progress in basketball.
Day three.
[Congratulations, host! You have completed the weekly mission and obtained Basketball Lv.0. Reward: Host's height * 2cm]
[The height bonus will gradually increase over the next two weeks. Note that the host has not yet reached the original height limit, so this bonus will also increase the host's height limit by 2cm.]
Hearing the system notification, Lin Ye became even more excited. He even started to fantasize about breaking through the 180cm mark in height this summer.
A week has passed in the blink of an eye, and today is the time to release the weekly tasks again.
Lin Ye was very curious about why the Xi Yao mission would be issued this time. Lin Ye's various attributes had increased to varying degrees within this week.
Name: Lin Ye
Age: 16
Height: 172 (173)
Weight: XNUM X kg
Face value: 43.9
Temperament: 34
Body: 33
Skills: Running lv.1, Basketball lv.0
Item: Body Recovery Potion *6
Wealth: 245
As you can see, all of his attributes have improved slightly, with the biggest improvement being his weight, which has reached 85.1kg. However, Lin Ye can clearly feel that his weight loss is now a little slower than before. At the beginning, his weight loss was really fast.
However, because he could see results every day, he wasn't in such a hurry anymore. After all, it was impossible for him to diet and lose weight at this age when he was still growing.
[Weekly tasks have been updated. This week's task is "A person's inner beauty shines through their knowledge." Within one week, diligently read three books that will help you grow. These can be classic novels, study books, etc. Reward: 5 points of charisma.]
Basketball has been added to daily tasks. Daily task 3: Play basketball for one hour every day. You will receive extra basketball experience each time, and you will gain 1cm of height cap for every 15 days you play, up to a maximum increase of 10cm.
Upon seeing this mission, Lin Ye was quite shocked. He hadn't expected basketball to become a permanent mission, and it could even increase his height limit. This was definitely a win-win situation, and he had to give it a shot.
After thinking it over, Lin Ye decided to slightly change his plans.
I go for a morning run, then read books in the morning and afternoon, and play basketball before dinner.
After finalizing the plan, Lin Ye immediately began to execute it.
However, today was different from the past. After arriving at the basketball court, Lin Ye was no longer stage-frightened.
It's the same guy as before.
"Hey kid, I've seen you practicing here for a week now. How about it, want to come out on stage and play with us for the real thing?"
"May I?"
"Of course, how can you improve without real-world experience?"
"good!"
Thinking about this, Lin Ye was also a little curious about how far he could go with these people who play basketball every day.
