Film and Television World Life Record

When he took a shower that night, he noticed that the outline of his muscles was gradually becoming more visible, his waist was straighter, his back was more upright, and even his overall demeanor had undergone some subtle changes.

He exudes a more heroic air, and appears more robust.

Day 4, Day 5, Day 6...

It wasn't until after 9 p.m. on the sixth day that Li Mu returned home. This was his sixth day of exploring the shops, and including the first day he stayed at home, it was already the seventh day.

It was past 1 a.m., exactly one week later, and his physical transformation was complete. His food exploration journey was finally coming to an end.

However, these days were not wasted; I gained a lot, eating at hundreds of restaurants and tasting countless delicacies.

Although it cost over 100,000 yuan, it was worth it.

However, at 11 p.m., just as Li Mu was about to lie down to sleep, his stomach started growling again. He was speechless. He had eaten at 15 restaurants that day and didn't get home until after 9 p.m., and his stomach was empty again after only two hours.

After thinking about it, it seems there are less than two hours left until the week is over. As expected of the system, it says a week and it is a week. Even if it's a minute late, I'll still be hungry.

To ensure a better transformation and sufficient nutrition and energy, Li Mu quietly got dressed, got up, and went downstairs.

It's too late to go to the restaurants at this time; they're basically all closed.

After thinking about it, I drove to a nearby food court. There was a night market there, with barbecue, food stalls, and snack stands everywhere every day.

Li Mu adopted a decisive attitude, eating at three restaurants in just over an hour, leaving the restaurant owners dumbfounded.

I patted my stomach; I was finally full.

I didn't want to think about anything else after that. I went home, took a shower, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

……

At dawn, just as the sky began to lighten, Li Mu woke up on time, silently opened his eyes, and felt refreshed and comfortable all over.

He got out of bed, looked in the mirror, and saw that his muscles were clearly defined, with his eight-pack abs faintly visible. Although it wasn't exaggerated and couldn't compare to the muscular men who went to the gym every day, he was already very satisfied.

He casually moved his fists and feet a few times, and his strength, physique, and reaction speed had all improved significantly. His heart was pounding and powerful, and his whole body was radiating a vibrant life force.

He tried Xingyi Quan again and executed it very smoothly. Sure enough, with an excellent foundation in martial arts, Xingyi Quan was as easy for him as eating and drinking.

However, Li Mu was not arrogant or complacent. Compared to his character in the film and television world, his current kung fu and physical condition are still far from satisfactory.

In the world of film and television, he attended a sports school from a young age and began practicing Xingyi Quan at the age of eleven or twelve. He practiced for twenty years without fail, which is how he developed his powerful kung fu and physique.

In reality, after the transformation, he only had an excellent foundation in martial arts, and he projected a portion of the results of his two years of training in the film and television world into his real-world self.

He can be described as strong and robust, with a sturdy build.

However, he's not exceptional; at best, he's just a fitness enthusiast. There are many people in this world who are better than him.

……

After getting up and washing up, Li Mu went downstairs to a nearby breakfast spot and ordered xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) as usual, then began to eat them with trepidation.

Thankfully, I was already full after only three servings.

My appetite has increased slightly, but I'm also stronger and have gained weight. My body is definitely burning more calories, so it's normal for my appetite to be a little bigger than before.

Speaking of weight, Li Mu thought of his height. He was already over 1.8 meters tall, and after these few days of transformation, he didn't know if it was because his legs were straighter, his waist and back were more upright, or if he had grown and developed again, but he had grown a little taller.

He measured himself in the morning and found that his bare height had reached 1.85 meters.

His weight was the same; a while ago he weighed 165 pounds, but in the last seven days he gained 20 pounds, reaching 185 pounds.

However, his body not only didn't look fat at all, but it also became more toned and muscular.

Li Mu believed that his weight gain of 20 kilograms was due to the increased density of his bones and muscles, but his body shape did not change significantly.

These changes in his body surprised and delighted him. After all, health is the foundation of everything, and who wouldn't want to have a healthy body?

After breakfast, I ran to the park, found a quiet corner, and began practicing Xingyi Quan.

This was the first time he had performed Xingyi Quan smoothly and completely in the real world, capturing some of the essence and charm of the film and television world.

Sure enough, with an excellent foundation in martial arts, practicing martial arts becomes twice as effective with half the effort.

However, to achieve the same physique and skills as him in the film and television world, it would take at least a decade of hard training.

There's no time for that in the real world; we'll mostly have to rely on the world of movies and TV shows.

Chapter 100 Daily Life in the Coffee Shop

After his morning exercise, Li Mu returned home from the park, took a quick shower, changed his clothes, and drove to the coffee shop.

Since using the small crowd-gathering device that day, I've been busy exploring different shops and haven't been here for six or seven days.

Upon arriving at the location, I had just found a comfortable spot to sit down and picked up a book to flip through a couple of pages when the store manager, Ji Han, walked over with a smile on his face.

"Boss, we've made a profit!"

"You made a profit?" Although he had already predicted it, he was still somewhat pleased to hear the result.

Store manager Ji Han said happily, "Yes, we're profitable."

"Recently, the store's popularity has skyrocketed, and it has been able to maintain profitability almost every day."

"If this trend continues, our store will survive."

She spoke with some agitation. As the store manager, Ji Han was under immense pressure because the store had been losing money every month since it opened, and she couldn't find a suitable solution due to the low customer traffic.

Even though Li Mu was very kind after taking over and said he didn't care about the losses, Ji Han still felt a lot of pressure.

Finally, things have been looking up lately. Customer traffic has increased several times over, and the store is now profitable every day.

This relieved her; if the current popularity could be maintained, the store could be considered alive.

Thinking of this, Ji Han took out a form and handed it to Li Mu.

"Boss, I've compiled some statistics, could you take a look..."

Pointing to the data on the left, he said, "This is our store's operating data for last month."

Li Mu followed her finger and looked over.

Average daily customer flow: 35 people; average spending per person: 48 yuan; average daily turnover: 1680 yuan; average monthly turnover: 50400 yuan.

Gross profit margin is 70%, monthly gross profit: 35280 yuan.

Fixed expenses: monthly rent 15000; monthly staff wages 40000; utilities and miscellaneous expenses 3500.

Total expenditure: 58500 yuan.

Gross profit of 35280 yuan minus fixed expenses of 58500 yuan.

Loss last month: 23220 yuan.

No wonder the coffee shop is up for sale; it's so unpopular and losing money every month. Who can keep going like that?

After Li Mu finished reading, Ji Han pointed to the next set of data and said, "This is the operating data for the past seven days."

Average daily passenger flow: 118 people.

Average spending per person: 45 yuan.

Average daily turnover: 5310 yuan.

Ji Han continued, "Compared to last month, although the average spending per person has decreased, the average daily customer traffic has more than tripled. If this trend can be maintained this month, profitability is certain."

"I've made a specific estimate based on this data, take a look..."

Li Mu nodded and looked in the direction he was pointing.

Based on an average daily turnover of 5310 yuan, and with 30 days of monthly reporting, the monthly turnover reaches 159300 yuan.

Based on a gross profit margin of 70%, the monthly gross profit is 111510 yuan.

Subtracting monthly fixed expenses: 58500 yuan.

Monthly net profit reached: 53010 yuan.

Ji Han said excitedly, "If the current popularity continues, the store will not only stop losing money, but will also generate a net profit of about 50,000 yuan per month."

Li Mu nodded, surprised, "So many!"

Ji Han said, "If they can maintain their current popularity, that's indeed a lot."

After thinking for a moment, Li Mu asked again, "With such a significant increase in customer traffic, can the seven of you handle the workload?"

Ji Han hesitated for a moment, unsure of Li Mu's attitude, but decided to try to be on the positive side. He couldn't just ask for more staff now that business was starting to pick up and things were getting a little busy; what if business slowed down again?

"Don't worry, boss. We were a bit overwhelmed at first because we hadn't experienced such a large customer flow. But it's gotten better these past few days, and we're gradually getting used to it."

"Only during peak hours, when there are too many customers in the store at the same time, are we short-staffed. If everyone works a little harder, we can get through it."

"Although we are busier than before, the store is profitable, and everyone feels at ease."

Li Mu nodded. With such a significant increase in customer traffic, the staff of only seven employees were manageable during off-peak hours, but during peak times, they were indeed short-staffed.

He's not a stingy person, nor does he want to exploit his employees. This kind of popularity will continue, and since he's already making a profit, there's no need to increase profits in this way.

"Manager Ji, thank you for your hard work. With the increased customer traffic, we can't let everyone work too hard. I'll give you two more job openings, which will only cost around 10,000 yuan in salaries. You can hire two more as you see fit."

Ji Han looked up at Li Mu in surprise. Before she could even speak, he had already offered her two job openings. She had never seen such a generous boss before.

"No need, boss. With the current customer flow, the seven of us can manage, even if it's a bit busy."

"Besides, we don't know if the popularity will continue to be this good. Once the popularity stabilizes, if everyone feels it's too hard, then we can consider hiring more people."
