BXBX NOVEL Chapter 560 Enhancing The Physique By Going To The Gym
-----
After that, I decided to make my way to the gym, I visited it every morning now. The Great Spirit said that if I didn\'t exercised everyday for at least two hours, my physique would begin to grow weaker. Also, exercising is a good way to fortify my own physique at the same time, so every morning I come here to do that, for at least three to four hours.
I usually wait my friends to log-in back into BNLO and continue our quest there. Because doing it all by myself is not really fun… Well, Acorn and Nieve might be around, but I also want to include Mark and Rita into the mix. And I bet Rita would get really angry if I didn\'t included her, as she would miss on the Bosses EXP.
So I just exercised as usual, with my physique, most exercises didn\'t even got me tired. In fact, I was never tired, nor dehydrated, so I just constantly did heavy lifting and ran at maximum velocity possible in these machines.
Eventually, after three hours of exercising non-stop, people gathered around me once more. Some of the "gym bros" I already knew were there too.
"Amazing performance as usual, but aren\'t you tired? You haven\'t even been drinking any water, Elayne!"
"You should definitely drink something, here, have my water."
"I just bought this cold tea, it has no sugar so feel free to drink!"
"Ahahaha, thank you for worrying about me guys." I giggled, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
It was certainly not just my idea, more and more guys would flock around me as I visited the gym every day. They weren\'t perverts, but just really nice, and usually gave me a lot of tips.
Though, as a woman, it still felt a bit… a bit distracting. I love Mark, but seeing a bunch of muscular men around me made me slightly embarrassed.
Well, there were also girls too.
"Hey you pervs, stop trying to get her to owe you any favors."
"Don\'t give them attention, they\'re just vultures, Elayne."
"Yeah! But this is amazing, are you one of those Awakened people?"
"Awakened?" I wondered.
"Yeah, recently there\'d been a few of them showing up around this gym. They\'re amazingly strong and seem to never get tired."
"I heard that people that Awaken get better physical strength and can perform feats they couldn\'t before."
"Oh, there was this one skinny guy lifting really heavy weights last night… He said he was an Awakener of F Rank. I was surprised how much strength that skinny body had."
"I see…" I nodded. "Well, not really, I\'m not Awakened. I just work out a lot back home too. Since my husband passed away that I\'ve always desired to be stronger myself, so I don\'t have to rely on others to protect me, and so I can protect my daughter."
"Awww, you\'re so genuine, girl."
"Oh my gosh, you have a daughter? You should bring her here some time!"
"Yeah, teaching her to exercise would help her out a lot, the younger they start the better."
"Ahahah, I don\'t know… She\'s the indoors type, she likes playing video games and staying inside her room a lot. But lately she has been opening up a bit more…" I sighed with a smile.
"Aw, must be hard to take care of a daughter as a single mother, I admire you, Elayne."
"For real! And you also work all by yourself to maintain your family, plus you have the time to come here and workout? You\'re a queen!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
"Ahahaha, you girls are being exaggerated!" I felt embarrassed. The gym sis I had here were just too nice with me.
Once I was done doing my work out, I quickly drank a whole bottle of water and took a quick shower in the gym to wash out all the sweat, quickly making my way back home.
In the way, some of the boys allured by me quickly flocked around me again…
"Hey Elayne, how are you doing?"
"Wanna go have something to eat?"
"We know a good French restaurant around."
"No thanks guys, I gotta go back home. My boyfriend\'s waiting me there." I smiled.
"B-Boyfriend…"
"R-Right…"
"Ah, s-sorry, have a nice day!"
Just saying the magic word "boyfriend" instantly made them regret flirting with me. Well, there were some more brave ones that would continue even after knowing that, but I just ignored them until they cut it out.
"You\'re really popular in the gym already, geez." Laughed the Great Spirit. "You\'ve exercised that body well enough, too, your Physique\'s begininig to develop a bit."
"Develop?" I wondered, as the Great Spirit laughed and slapped my butt.
"Yeah, this butt\'s as hard as a rock-"
BONK!
"OUCH! Hey! You can hurt me now?!" She complained.
"Don\'t be a pervert now!" I sighed. "Also you touched me too, so I can touch you back!"
"R-Right…" She sighed. "Sorry, sorry! I thought you wouldn\'t mind because I am literal floating carrot."
"That somehow makes it even weirder!" I facepalmed.
"Geez, okay, sorry… I thought that\'s what friends did, slapping each other in the butts. Didn\'t the girls do it in the gym\'s shower?" Wondered the Great Spirit with a giggle.
"Y-Yeah, they were just special friends." I laughed a bit. "I saw them kissing too, I don\'t think they\'re just pals."
"Oh damn, maybe we should stay in the shower for a bit longer…" She said with a smile.
"Geez, just stop it!" I sighed. "Anyways, my physique is developing, you said?"
"Yep! All of that hard work\'s paying off, just imbue Mana into your body and you\'ll see the results." She said.
"Imbue Mana…" I said, as I controlled my internal mana and imbued it into my Physique.
FLAAASH!
Suddenly, I felt my body glow lightly with a green and golden aura, which nobody around could actually see but us. I felt my muscles strengthen and tighten, while my blood flow was flowing even faster than before…
[Your constant Physical Exercise has made your body grow much stronger.]
[You\'ve developed 200 Physique Runes.]
Oh?!
