As someone who does things mostly solo, unless it is an organized task, I am usually found with my phone or laptop. Did introverts first appear on Earth when books were widely available? And with books now transitioning to ebooks with technology, it ended up…. to the creation of ME! LIN THE GREAT! That aside, while isekai fiction is a nice read, I am definitely not heading to isekai. Surviving in a world without wifi? No MOBA, no FPS, no social media. Best you get is probably Reversi.
"Shooting your eyes with lights is not recommended during such hours. Rest well, soldier.
-Try to improve your timing tomorrow, extend the distance if possible.
-Start to do exercises in Trial 2 already."
So the system will ask me to sleep too. Damn, no longer in the mood to do griping exercise already.

One…two….
…
Nineteen.. twenty.
"Beep beep beep beep.."
"4 pushups in a minute. 16 invalid pushups."
Damn, even sharper than the machines.
"1 of the 4 is actually arguable."
I THANK YOU SYSTEM.
I tried to do more pushups. 1 minute intervals. Firstly, I am more used to it. Secondly, I needed breaks. Yeah, Need. In context, my idea of work life balance is work 3 days rest four days.
"Despite efforts to make standard pushups. 5/18 in a minute. 13 pushups invalid."
I am weakened. There is only an answer: water break.
When athletes exercise, there is this period of time that the muscles have increased absorption of glucose in an attempt to replenish what was lost during workout….
Chocolate malt drink sounds nice. With extra condensed milk and sugar will definitely relieve my tired muscles that worked out for two damn minutes.
"Calories expended: Negligible. Your normal metabolism expended more calories than your pathetic 40 pushups.
Calories intake: 236kcal
I THANK YOU LIN"
Having some warmth down the stomach sure does the trick. It's weekend today.
In news, I remembered that it mentioned shopping is actually exercise, considering increased activities compared to just scrolling phones and shifting mouse.
I brisk-walked to the nearest air-conditioned mall. Who doesn't love free stuff? I myself don't take things for granted. Thanks for building such a great mall.
It's a brisk walking session with an obstacle course. There are more shoppers and kids roaming around compared to weekdays.
"One coconut latte with whipped cream…venti."
"Why didn't you just go for tall?"
"It's more worth the money."
"Please swim 10 laps of 500m."
"So you do have something you didn't know."
If the system had completed scanning my memory, it would know I sat on the floor of 1.7m depth swimming pool for almost two minutes, breaking my battalion's record. I can't swim because I just kept sinking.
Next stop, spectacle shop. I'm going for a cheaper one since there's a possibility my eyesight could get even better than now.
Left eye -0.75D, Right eye -3.00D
Now that's a problem, since the only change was on my right eye which was originally -3.75D.
I could've gotten a completely new pair of specs. Or maybe just ala-carte change lens. But lenses come in a pair….. Fine, I'm just getting the lenses changed. They're a bit scratched.

Health condition: Acceptable.

Hmm, being dehydrated and having indigestion are gone for now. Is it live update? Also, my myopia is still not included in status?
"Myopia was never part of status issue. Keep on exercising and you'll be surprised."
So in system's train of thought, myopia is not something that complicates health issue. But long term dehydration and indigestion can complicate matters.
Still, neither increased physical activities nor breathing techniques had any scientific evidence on eyesight related improvements. Hence…
"You did something on my eyes right?"
"Praise me more."
"Praise +1"
"You could've put in more effort."
"So… Praise +2?"
….
"One banana fritter."
When status being visible, and some rules known. I can conclude one thing. I am simply not athletic, but I am in no way obese. If I were to be obese it would probably signal a medium priority and recommends me to do more high intensity and interval exercises.
No. No brisk walking under this hot sun. Best I can do is run after a bus. By the way, eating and drinking is not allowed in public transport here. So chasing after one is pointless for me. I'd rather finish my latte and fritter before boarding on one.
"Why not just walk home?"
"#no . Be brave to say no."

Home.
Sit ups are easy. There is no such thing as no count. You've one job. Lie flat and sit upright without moving your legs.
22….23.
Urgh. Must've been old age. That's why it went from 24 to 23. My hardwork didn't pay off a single bit. I mean, my whole body feels hard right now.
"Would you like some softener? Apply it like a lotion and feel soft."
"May I have a refreshment instead? So I can refresh your choice of words."
Squats are easy. You just start from standing position, squat down and recover to standing position. No way I am failing this.
…49…50
"Zero counts. Because you went all the way down to your ankles instead of holding knees on 90° position."
"That should've been 100 since I went double the distance."
"Declined. Now, if you open the doors people will be allowed to see this breathtaking scene."
"Declined. With my sweaty bod I will be charged in court for attempted murder. After all, I'm such a lady killer."
"Coming from someone who doesn't confidently hold a conversation while working in a lab full of female colleagues at your age."
"But the ladies are the ones asking me to go lunch."
"That's only because you worked until you forgot lunchtime even existed. And there is nothing special about eating with colleagues. Stop overthinking and restart the pushups."
"Can I just buy 100 pushup bras and you let me pass on that?"
"Can you even spend to change a brand new specs?"
