I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 3 Roommate
While the faculty at Jianghai University of Electronic Science and Technology may not be considered outstanding in Hangzhou, the accommodation is excellent.

The dormitories are all four-person rooms with private bathrooms, and each room is equipped with air conditioning...

In addition, Chen Yan was lucky. When he started university, his two roommates either chose to repeat a year of high school or went straight into the army. The school didn't arrange for any other students to move in, so there have only been two people in the dormitory since he enrolled.

At that moment, the dormitory door was pushed open, and without a doubt, it was his other roommate who had returned.

……

"I once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword, to see the splendor of the world." With a humming voice, Shen Dong slammed the door shut, eagerly enjoying the comfort of the air conditioning.

"Yan-ge, you didn't go out?" Seeing his roommate still in the dormitory, Shen Dong subconsciously said, and then immediately noticed Chen Yan's new hairstyle.

"You got a haircut! This hairstyle is great, it looks very clean, and you look much more handsome than before."

"My hair was really too long before, so I'll get it cut today since I have some free time." As he spoke, Chen Yan turned to look at Shen Dong.

Shen Dong has an outstanding appearance. He has strong features, a tall stature, and a clean-cut buzz cut. From his appearance, he is the kind of handsome man with a dignified and upright demeanor.

If I had to rate him, I'd give Chen Yan 85 points; he's definitely a handsome guy.

Of course, after two years of getting to know each other, Chen Yan had a pretty good understanding of Shen Dong. If he had to describe him, he could summarize him with two labels.

"Fitness fanatic" and "scumbag"

Since the end of his freshman year military training, Shen Dong has been running five kilometers every morning and doing an hour of fitness training every evening.

During his freshman year, Chen Yan trained with Shen Dong for a few days, but then decisively realized that he was not suited for this kind of life.

As for the label "scumbag"...

Strictly speaking, Shen Dong can't be considered a scumbag; at most, he just changes girlfriends a bit too often.

After all, he's a handsome guy with high emotional intelligence, so he's got all the advantages when it comes to dating.

Having been together for two years, Chen Yan had a pretty good understanding of Shen Dong's dating patterns... First, he would spend a month getting to know someone of the opposite sex and establishing a relationship, then two months would go from dating to breaking up, and finally he would take a month off.

On average, a dating cycle is completed every four months, and the cycle is quite stable with almost no exceptions.

Chen Yan had no interest in Shen Dong's "love story"; he wanted to tell Shen Dong something else entirely.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you needed a basketball partner? What do you think of me?"

Faced with Chen Yan's self-recommendation, Shen Dong was a little surprised. After a moment of hesitation, he quickly agreed, "Okay, let's start playing together tonight."

As he spoke, Shen Dong took a badminton racket out of the cabinet and said, "The badminton rackets in the school gymnasium aren't very good quality. I just bought two rackets before, so you can use mine for now."

"Thanks." Chen Yan gave an OK sign and took the racket from him. "Then let's go to the gym to play at seven o'clock tonight."

"I might have to go earlier. If I go at seven o'clock, the badminton courts will probably be full."

……

stadium.

"Huff, huff, huff." Chen Yan sat on the bench, his breathing slightly rapid, and his T-shirt was completely soaked with sweat.

After nearly an hour of exercise, Chen Yan felt completely drained. All he wanted to do was sit quietly on the bench and not think about anything. In badminton, Chen Yan was a complete novice, using only a few basic moves. His only advantage was his relatively fast reaction time.

Unfortunately, his physical condition slowed down his reaction speed. Sometimes he could clearly tell where the ball would land, but his body just couldn't keep up.

Shen Dong was also a newbie, but due to long-term training, his physical fitness was much better than Chen Yan's. It was this strong physical fitness that allowed him to maintain the upper hand throughout the hour-long confrontation.

The reason it wasn't a complete rout was because Chen Yan's reaction speed was simply too outstanding. Although he was suppressed throughout, he was occasionally able to launch an effective counterattack.

"How do you feel?" Shen Dong walked to the bench. "Your reaction speed is really fast. You caught several balls that I thought I played very well. If you train your physique, you can probably play better than me."

Chen Yan was so tired that he didn't even want to talk. He just took a bottle of water out of the bag next to him and handed it to Shen Dong with some difficulty.

Even before arriving at the gymnasium, he had a premonition that today's exercise might be quite intense, so he specifically bought five bottles of water from a convenience store on his way there.

"Thanks." Shen Dong didn't stand on ceremony, took the water and gulped it down, finishing most of the bottle in one go. Then he asked, "Are we going to fight again later?"

"I'm not playing anymore, my body can't take it." Chen Yan waved his hand. An hour of continuous badminton was too much exercise for a homebody like him who didn't exercise for a long time. If he continued playing, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

I didn't feel anything while I was playing, but as soon as I rested, my body immediately went into "super power-saving" mode.

Chen Yan is already a little worried. Today's exercise was too intense. Will he be so sore and weak that he will have difficulty moving tomorrow?

If that's the case, then the task of "moderate exercise" will probably have to be postponed.

"Are you going back later? Why don't you take my racket with you? I'll go upstairs and do a few more sets of dumbbell exercises."

"Okay, I'll put both rackets on your table later." Chen Yan gave an OK sign.

Seeing that Chen Yan had agreed, Shen Dong felt relieved. After sitting for a few more minutes, he went to the dumbbell area on the second floor for strength training.

Chen Yan waited until his body had recovered a little before leaving the gymnasium with two rackets.

……

After returning to his dormitory, Chen Yan took a shower immediately, then soaked his clothes in water, preparing to hand wash them the next morning.

There are washing machines in the dormitory building, but they are shared by the whole building. As for the cleanliness of such public washing machines, everyone knows. Not to mention, Chen Yan himself has personally seen several people using the washing machine to wash socks.

For Chen Yan, who has a slight case of mysophobia, he would rather spend a little more time hand washing than put his personal clothes into a washing machine that someone else has washed socks or even shoes in.

After taking a shower, Chen Yan felt a little lost and didn't know what to do for a moment.

He used to be writing at this time, but now that his old book is finished, this period has been freed up...

Just as he was lying in bed, idly playing on his phone, a system notification suddenly sounded in his ear.

[The system has detected damage to the host's body. In order not to affect the host's subsequent "moderate exercise" task, the system can provide the host with "microcurrent therapy".]

This treatment approach aims to heal physical injuries as much as possible while preserving the benefits of athletic performance.

[Does the host agree to undergo this treatment?]
