Ziwei is a shrewd and calculating working woman who diligently writes food reviews on niche review platforms every day and tries to win free meals.

I can win two or three times a month.

She happened to win a free two-person yakiniku (grilled meat) set meal. The restaurant specializes in premium Wagyu beef and is located near the company. She invited Guoguo to go with her, and Guoguo immediately felt like she had no friends left but yakiniku.

Brothers, they're all dogs; go this way with the premium Wagyu beef.

He and Ziwei went to eat roast pork, while Bai Weiran and Achao went to eat rice noodles nearby.

"We didn't eat any rice noodles either."

Ah Chao scratched his head and began to explain.

He and Bai Weiran originally wanted to go eat rice noodles, but when they got to the store, they found it was under renovation. The stores near the company were packed, so they searched for nearby stores and found a newly opened noodle shop. They both liked noodles, so they chatted and walked for more than ten minutes to eat there.

Guoguo looked on with suspicion when she heard this.

"Did you get sick from eating Chongqing noodles?"

"No, that noodle shop was pretty good, the problem was on the way back." Ah Chao said, a strange look on his face as he recalled the scene.

"A fitness coach came out to promote and advertise."

Gyms are springing up like mushrooms in big cities, opening one after another. Shile Company is in a good location, in a prime area of ​​the city, surrounded by office buildings. Companies that can rent floors in such prime locations are mostly high-income groups, a gathering place for senior white-collar workers, so gyms have emerged as a result.

They're always on the road promoting their own services and attracting customers, and the main focus is always on getting you to sign up for a membership card. Once you sign up, they'll try to sell you coaching courses.

If you walk a couple of blocks further, you'll run into a fitness instructor.

Guoguo and the others have encountered this too many times and are already immune.

She responded with an "oh," her expression remaining blank when she heard the word "fitness."

What's so special about being a fitness instructor?

We internet people are just homebodies and lazy bums. Gyms? Pshaw! One of the most notorious consumer traps of modern consumerism, designed to fleece us. As long as I'm lying down enough, they can't squeeze me out of my money by forcing me to sign up for memberships or take classes.

"Could this possibly stump my eldest son? My eldest son would never fall into a consumer trap..."

"Brother Weiran accepted the flyer."

"………………!?"

"Brother Weiran even went to check out their gym, asked a lot of questions, and exchanged WeChat contacts with the trainer. He's going to have a trial class the day after tomorrow."

"………………!!!?"

Guoguo exclaimed in disbelief, "How dare my big son, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, betray the early revolution of the internet?"

"We agreed to work overtime together and die together, but now he's secretly trying to undermine our health and make us die first?!"

You, Bai Weiran, spoke so confidently, telling your team members to prioritize efficiency over working hours, not to take pride in overtime, and to engage in rational competition. Now look at what you've done yourself!

I used to cheat others when I was in school, I cheat others when I was at work, and now I'm even cheating others after get off work. I'm planning to secretly work out and cheat others again with my health?

Oh no, you're not my son anymore.

Guoguo cursed through gritted teeth, while Bai Weiran was the king of involution.

Ah Chao gave perfunctory "uh-huh" responses, his mind wandering to other things.

Moderate exercise attracts the opposite sex, while excessive exercise attracts the same sex.

My brother Weiran is the epitome of manhood. He attracts both men and women. He usually stays at the company with nothing to do, but now that he's at the gym, doesn't he attract all sorts of admirers?

What should I do if everyone swarms around me wanting to get close to my Weiran brother?

Ah Chao clenched his fist and made a decision in secret.

I want to go with him to protect my best friend, Weiran.

Guoguo concluded angrily, "Shen Dingchao, you bastard! Let's all despise him, curse him, and make sure he doesn't fall into the capitalist trap and becomes a gym's sucker!!"

Ah Chao nodded, "Okay, elbow! I've figured it out, I'm going to the gym with Wei Ran!"

Guoguo: …………? ?

Cross-server communication was a complete failure.

Xx

Bai Weiran was washing his hands when a question suddenly came from the side.

"Young Master Bai, I heard you're planning to go to the gym?"

Bai Weiran looked up, faced the mirror, and was speechless.

"...Wu Ji, your work area is on the sixth floor, right?"

"correct."

"This is the men's restroom on the sixteenth floor."

"Yes."

The handsome gray-haired man with the red earring smiled broadly, his face radiating a gentle and refined air.

"...I think you're not working enough, you even have to go up ten floors to use the restroom."

"Young Master Bai, how can you say that?" Wu Ji's expression hardened, and he spoke with conviction.

"I go to the toilet just to wait for you, through wind and rain, and I am waiting for you."

Bai Weiran's tone turned icy in an instant, "Stop waiting, give me the purple clay now!"

His rudeness makes you want to slap him.

Wu Ji let out a sly laugh.

"If I die, Young Master Bai will be sad. I can't die... But why did you suddenly change your mind and want to go to the gym?"

Guoguo was betrayed by Achao and was very dissatisfied. She used the corporate VX to complain to Wu Ji and seek the recognition of a side.

Wu Ji, an old rascal, heard there was some juicy gossip and immediately joined in the fun.

Is Bai Shao going to the gym?

Based on his years of understanding of Bai Weiran, this is truly unreasonable!

Bai Weiran belongs to the type of person who doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

He likes to solve problems in the quickest, most concise, and most elegant way.

In his eyes, people who go to amusement parks for thrills or haunted houses for adventure are incomprehensible.

Why would someone want to scare themselves and create unnecessary danger?

That means you've created trouble for yourself.

Gyms also fall under this category.

Unless there is a health problem that requires more exercise, Bai Weiran has no reason to go to the gym on his own initiative.

Although Wu Ji was smiling and had a sharp tongue, he wasn't just looking for fun.

He was worried that something might be wrong with Bai Weiran's health and hadn't told him.

After all, he works so hard overtime; without the platform's benefits, he would be prematurely aged.

As old friends, Bai Weiran naturally saw through Wu Ji's intentions.

"I'm fine, my medical report is perfectly fine, not a single red mark." He explained, took a tissue to wipe his hands, and gestured for Wu Ji to walk outside with him. The two went out onto the balcony to talk.

He briefly explained Yuan Jixi's situation.

"I just realized during the mission that I'm really bad at this; I barely managed to do a few push-ups."

Wu Ji leaned against the balcony railing, completely bewildered.

"...Should I go to the gym to do push-ups better?"

"If you use the platform's capabilities, you can easily do 10,000 times without batting an eye, so why bother doing it yourself?"

Bai Weiran faced outwards, looking at the bustling traffic below the balcony, and smiled slightly.

"It would be too unfair to the task recipient if I didn't do it myself."

"Since I hope she can find enjoyment in teaching others and discover her own value, it's pointless for me to use some kind of cheat code at this point. Even if I can do 10,000 push-ups in a second, it's not something I've experienced myself, so it's not mine. I can't truly communicate with her. She teaches so earnestly, so I should also teach earnestly."

All his actions in the mission world did not affect the present world. Although he was exhausted from his work, all his muscle soreness and fatigue disappeared when he returned to the present world.

Bai Weiran wanted to follow Yuan Jixi's teachings and train step by step in his own world.

He genuinely wanted to communicate with Yuan Jixi as a normal person.

I signed up for a gym so that I could use the equipment more easily.

Wu Ji remained silent for a moment.

—It's no joke that I, Bai Shao, can achieve perfect clears with the invincible general.

Anyone who cheats is a force to be reckoned with, dreaming of illuminating the entire land with a single sword strike. Such absolute power drives people absolutely mad.

Bai Weiran is used to socializing with acquaintances and doesn't gossip much. Wu Jishe is awesome and gets along well with Gaga, so he heard a lot of gossip.

In fact, more than half of app users go crazy on the very first task.

Without legal restrictions, the ability to do whatever one pleases can bring out the darkness in people's hearts.

Many people's docility and restraint are simply because they lack the means to be arrogant.

Those who can take things on and let them go are ultimately a minority.

Bai Weiran turned to look at Wu Ji. With his black hair and black eyes, the sunlight cast shadows on Bai Weiran's face, making his features instantly more defined. He smiled slightly.

"That was the official explanation, but I have a second reason."

“Wu Ji, I used to think it didn’t matter how long I lived, the important thing was to live in the present. It didn’t matter if I died today, tomorrow, ten years later, twenty years later, or forty years later.”

"But now I feel I should try to live a little longer."

He turned his head again and looked at the building across the balcony. In the distance, the shadows of the two people were vaguely reflected in the glass.

A gentle breeze was blowing through his hair.

"Everyone dies eventually. I hope to be left behind in the future, and to be the last one to leave."

"I should try to be healthier now."
