A fat man who was reborn from the dead? He transforms into a perfect male god in a week.

the next day.

Sunday morning, 5:00 AM.

Jiang Chen opened his eyes on time, changed into his sweatpants, and went out.

Then, just like yesterday, it took less than half an hour to complete the system's routine training task.

I then went home, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes.

Wang Xiulian had already prepared breakfast at the dining table.

"Xiao Chen, are you going out again today?" Wang Xiulian asked.

"Okay, let's go climb Phoenix Mountain with Da Tang." Jiang Chen sat down, grabbed a meat bun, and started eating.

"Phoenix Mountain..." Wang Xiulian thought for a moment, "It's quite far. Will you two take a car there?"

"Take the bus to the foot of the mountain, then walk up the mountain."

"Walking? Wouldn't that be exhausting?" Jiang Jianguo poked his head out from the kitchen. "Your mother and I climbed it once last year, and our legs were so weak at the top that we couldn't get out of bed the next day!"

"It's okay, I'm in good health." Jiang Chen grinned.

After breakfast, it was 7:30.

He changed into the gray tracksuit he had worn yesterday and looked at himself in the mirror.

Bald head, roguish face, and muscular physique that even loose sportswear can't hide.

"Wow, that face, that figure... even I'm smitten."

Jiang Chen stroked his chin narcissistically and went out.

Eight o'clock sharp, at the entrance of the residential area.

Tang Ruoxi was already waiting there.

Today she also changed into sportswear: a white short-sleeved T-shirt, light gray sweatpants, white sneakers, and her ponytail was tied high, making her look fresh and energetic.

Jiang Chen saw it from afar and his heart skipped a beat.

"How come Da Tang looks so good in sportswear today?"

He walked over quickly and said, "Good morning."

"Good morning." Tang Ruoxi looked up at him, her face slightly flushed. "You look... quite handsome today too."

"Absolutely." Jiang Chen naturally took her wrist. "Come on, to the bus stop."

The two boarded the bus, but still couldn't find seats and had to stand side by side.

The car swayed and bumped into Jiang Chen's arm from time to time.

With each contact, her ears turned a shade redder.

Jiang Chen, on the other hand, remained calm and collected, a roguish smile playing on his lips, looking quite pleased with himself.

Forty minutes later, the train arrived at the station.

At the foot of Phoenix Mountain.

The two were stunned by the sight before them as soon as they got out of the car.

People, all of them are people.

Buses lined up in a long queue, tourists were packed in, and vendors selling incense and candles shouted their wares incessantly.

"So many people?" Tang Ruoxi was a little confused.

"It's a holiday, so it's normal." Jiang Chen glanced at it. "Let's go, we'll walk up the mountain."

"Walking? Not taking the bus?"

Tang Ruoxi looked at the bus stop sign next to her, "Fifty for a one-way trip, one hundred for a round trip... That's expensive."

"We came here to hike, taking the bus is so boring." Jiang Chen pulled her towards the walking path. "Besides, a hundred yuan can buy us so many snacks!"

Tang Ruoxi thought about it and nodded, "Alright then."

The two slowly climbed up the newly paved cement road.

At first, it was quite easy; the mountain road was gentle, with lush trees on both sides and fresh air.

Tang Ruoxi was in a good mood, humming a song as she walked.

Jiang Chen, with his hands in his pockets, lazily followed beside her, occasionally chiming in with a few words.

"Old Chen, why do you think this mountain is called Phoenix Mountain?" Tang Ruoxi asked.

"Legend has it that a phoenix once roosted here, but later flew away, leaving this mountain behind," Jiang Chen casually made up.

"Really?" Tang Ruoxi believed it.

"I made it up," Jiang Chen laughed.

"You!" Tang Ruoxi punched him. "You're just a liar!"

"I'd be a dog if I lied to you." Jiang Chen held up three fingers.

The two were playfully bickering, attracting the attention of passersby.

"Look at that young couple, they're so sweet..."

"The guy has a cool, slightly rebellious look, and the girl is so innocent and pure—a perfect match!"

"It's so good to be young..."

Jiang Chen felt a surge of joy as he listened to the notification sound.

After climbing for more than half an hour, the mountain path began to become steeper.

Tang Ruoxi's breathing gradually quickened, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Jiang Chen remained relaxed, not even panting.

"Are you tired?" he asked.

"A bit..." Tang Ruoxi wiped her sweat, "This mountain... is harder to climb than I imagined."

"That's normal, it's over 800 meters above sea level." Jiang Chen took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and handed it to her. "Have some water and rest for a bit."

The two sat down to rest on a stone bench by the roadside.

Tang Ruoxi sipped her water, while Jiang Chen watched the buildings below the mountain grow smaller and smaller, and sighed inwardly:

"I lived for over twenty years in my previous life, and I never climbed this mountain even once... What a waste of my life."

After resting for five minutes, I continued climbing.

After climbing for another hour, we reached two-thirds of the way up.

Tang Ruoxi is completely finished.

She was panting heavily, the back of her T-shirt was soaked, and her legs started to tremble, each step feeling like walking on cotton.

"Old Chen... I... I can't climb anymore..." she said, her voice weak as she held her knees.

Jiang Chen turned to look at her, a thought stirring in his heart.

He walked up to Tang Ruoxi, turned around, and squatted down with his back to her: "Get on."

Tang Ruoxi was taken aback: "Huh?"

"I'll carry you on my back," Jiang Chen said.

"No, no!" Tang Ruoxi quickly waved her hands. "You're tired too, carrying me would only make you more tired."

"I'm not tired." Jiang Chen turned around and grinned at her. "I'm in great shape. I do 10 kilometers, 300 push-ups, and 500 squats every day. Carrying you up a mountain path is a piece of cake."

"But..." Tang Ruoxi was still hesitating.

"No buts, hurry up and get on." Jiang Chen patted his back. "If you don't get on, I'm leaving."

Tang Ruoxi bit her lip, looked at Jiang Chen's broad back, struggled for three seconds, and finally blushed as she leaned over him.

Jiang Chen supported her legs with both hands and easily stood up.

"Wow..." Tang Ruoxi exclaimed softly, instinctively wrapping her arms around Jiang Chen's neck.

"Hold on tight," Jiang Chen said, taking a step upstairs.

At first, Tang Ruoxi was worried that she was too heavy and would make Jiang Chen very tired.

But she soon realized... she was overthinking it.

Jiang Chen carried her up the mountain, and not only was he not tired, he was even faster than before.

He walked steadily, one step at a time, his breathing as even as if he were taking a stroll.

"Old Chen, are you...aren't you tired?" Tang Ruoxi asked softly.

"Not tired at all," Jiang Chen laughed. "Your weight is nothing compared to the intensity of my usual workouts."

"Am I... am I heavy?" Tang Ruoxi asked, a little embarrassed.

"It's not heavy at all, it's very light," Jiang Chen said. "Carrying you is like carrying a schoolbag."

Tang Ruoxi blushed, said nothing, and gently rested her face against his back.

She could feel the strong muscles in Jiang Chen's back and hear his steady, powerful heartbeat.

You can still smell a faint scent of sweat on him... It's not unpleasant; rather, it has a sunny smell.

Her heart felt warm and sweet.

Passersby were stunned by what they saw.

"Holy crap! That guy was carrying his girlfriend while hiking?"

"That stamina... is amazing!"

"I'm exhausted just crawling up empty-handed, and he can still carry someone on his back?"

"The guy is handsome, the girl is beautiful, and they're so sweet... I'm so jealous..."

Jiang Chen's earpiece kept ringing with notification sounds.

His mouth stretched from ear to ear, and he quickened his pace.
