"System, I, Li Mubai, have finally caught a break!"
Li Mubai made sure he wasn't hallucinating.
The voice in his mind continued. [As long as the host accepts and completes suggestions from others, he can acquire relevant knowledge!] [By acquiring this knowledge, the host can upgrade his attribute panel!] "Open attribute panel!"
Li Mubai's eyes lit up, eager to see what his attributes looked like.
At his command, an attribute panel appeared in his mind. [Host: Li Mubai] [Appearance: 28] [Charisma: None] [Ability: None] [Knowledge: None] [System Evaluation: A thoroughly mediocre college student, a complete loser with nothing to his name, an absolute pushover, a mere cog in the machine of society. You make zero difference whether you exist or not!]
"What the hell?"
Looking at the system's evaluation, Li Mubai let out an incredulous gasp. Low appearance and charisma were one thing, but how was his ability also nonexistent?
He was a senior at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, for crying out loud! Was he really completely devoid of any redeeming qualities?
Besides, this system evaluation was too brutal; it cursed people out more fiercely than internet trolls!
Just as he was getting annoyed, the system popped up with a new prompt. [By collecting persuasion points from heeding advice, the host can use them to upgrade his attributes!]
In an instant, Li Mubai understood completely.
As long as he gathered enough persuasion points, his utterly mediocre face could still be saved.
As for how to earn persuasion points, it was by completing suggestions given by others.
Li Mubai immediately thought of the video he had posted on the Douyin app. If he completed the suggestions left by those netizens, he could definitely earn persuasion points.
He immediately opened the comment section of his post. At first glance, his eyes lit up, and then his whole body began to tremble slightly.
Li Mubai hadn't expected that, as a completely mediocre newcomer, he would instantly have over thirty comments.
And these comments unanimously suggested that Li Mubai just give up and restart his life.
"Looking like that and you still want to get handsome and rich? Are you dreaming?"
"Such a delusional loser, looking so unappealing. Where on earth do you get the confidence to publish such a disgusting image on the internet? It's utterly ridiculous. You want to get handsome and find a girlfriend looking like that? I suggest you go straight to South Korea!"
"I can't believe opening Douyin gave me trauma like this! What kind of sins did I commit in my past life? Please just go die and stop disgusting my phone!"
"......"
Watching his comment section turn into a battlefield for internet trolls, Li Mubai was momentarily speechless.
As for those suggestions telling Li Mubai to go reincarnate right now, he didn't take a single one to heart.
He had just acquired the system, and this was his moment to shine in this world—why would he seek his own end?
Li Mubai patiently continued scrolling through his comments.
Soon, a comment caught his eye.
"Bro, don't listen to the brainless idiots in the comment section. Actually, looking at your facial features, they're quite refined; it's just that you have a bit too much subcutaneous tissue. I suggest you start working out and doing skincare from now on. I believe you'll see a change before long. Keep it up!"
Aside from his parents, Li Mubai had never felt so grateful to anyone in his entire life.
Turns out there were still good people in this world!
"Alright! From now on, I, Li Mubai, am going to learn fitness and skincare!"
As soon as Li Mubai made this declaration— [Host accepted the suggestion and successfully obtained the Handsome Starter Pack, which includes a wealth of scientific knowledge on fitness and skincare!]
Soon, a complete set of scientific knowledge regarding fitness and skincare appeared in Li Mubai's mind.
On the fitness front, aside from scientific exercise methods, it basically boiled down to a low-carb, low-sugar diet and moving your legs more.
As for skincare, apart from altering one's diet scientifically, it involved various skincare products that worked together to produce dramatic effects.
However, considering he only had a "fortune" of two hundred yuan to his name right now, Li Mubai decided to focus primarily on fitness for the time being.
......
The sports field at Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
A group of girls gathered together during their physical education class.
"The summer vacation is just over a month away. I'm planning to travel. Anyone want to come with?"
"I'm sitting this one out. My boyfriend says he's taking me to Iceland to see the aurora!"
"......."
"Look, that guy has been running for over a dozen laps and he's still going!"
"What's so surprising? He definitely got dumped by his girlfriend and is making up his mind to lose weight now. Those guys are really something—why didn't they do this earlier instead of waiting until after a breakup to pull these meaningless stunts?"
"Not gonna lie, even though that guy is a bit chubby, his eyes are actually quite nice. If he lost weight, he'd probably be pretty handsome!"
"Ooh, ooh, ooh, your fishpond is already overflowing, and now you want to farm a fish like that too?"
Li Mubai paid no attention to the classmates discussing him on the sports field; he simply focused on regulating his breathing, ensuring that he maximized the burning of body fat while running.
Three days later, inside the dorm.
[84kg]
Li Mubai looked at the number on the digital scale, his heart pounding with excitement.
In just three short days, he had already dropped more than ten pounds. Looking at himself in the mirror, although he was still a bit chubby in places, the contours of his face were clearly visible now!
Especially when combined with his facial features, he actually looked rather handsome!
"Today is the fourth day of sticking with fitness, and my current weight is 84kg. Please look forward to the future results!"
Over the past few days, Li Mubai had been recording a video and posting it on the Douyin app, creating a continuous series of inspirational videos.
In just three days, it had attracted quite a few onlookers.
Soon, beneath Li Mubai's latest video, many people left comments.
"Holy shit, you lost over ten pounds in three days? How did you do that? Begging for your secrets!"
"Not gonna lie, now that you've slimmed down, bro, you're actually kind of handsome. Once you build some muscle, aren't you just the next Eddie Peng?"
"Bro, why don't you start a livestream and tell us how you work out!"
"......"
Looking at the dozens of comments, a bright smile spread across Li Mubai's face.
"Since someone suggested starting a livestream, from today on, I am officially a fitness tutorial streamer!"
[Host accepted the suggestion and successfully acquired livestreaming knowledge!]
Applying the livestreaming knowledge he had just acquired, Li Mubai successfully started his broadcast.
"Hello everyone, I'm Mubai. Quite a few netizens suggested that I explain how I successfully lost over ten pounds in three days. Today, I'll demonstrate it live for everyone!"
With that, Li Mubai began doing fitness exercises right there in his dorm, explaining the essentials and key points of each movement as he went.
Although the routines looked simple, their actual fat-burning rate was quite high, and even people of a heavier build could do them.
"That wraps up today's workout, everyone remember to stretch afterwards, or your muscles will ache tomorrow!"
An hour or so later, Li Mubai ended the livestream and checked his earnings.
Perhaps because everything Li Mubai shared was practical, solid advice, quite a few viewers sent tips.
In just over an hour, he made over three hundred yuan in revenue. After deducting the platform's cut, he still had three hundred left!
"To make such considerable earnings on the very first day of broadcasting—looks like I'll be able to buy skincare products soon!"
