“Hey, don’t forget to schedule a massage later. If you’re not up for it, you could always head to a regular massage shop.”

Li Shuyao glanced at the screen, her gaze fixed on Tang Rui who lay sprawled out on the floor like a limp fish. She was at a loss for words.

This was his first attempt at working out.

Normally, a bit of exercise and a variety of routines should have sufficed.

However, something seemed off, and he ended up doing sit-ups.

More than six sets of 63 sit-ups, to be exact.

And then…

And now, this was the result.

“Alright, I hear you.”

Tang Rui remained on the floor, not in the mood to budge.

He’d just done 63 sit-ups.

His stomach was throbbing painfully.

But he couldn’t muster any strength.

“Don’t linger on the floor too long. You might catch a cold. You could lie down on the sofa.”

“Sure thing, I’ll do that later.”

“Take care of yourself then. 1’11 head for a shower.”

“Bye-bye.”

The video call ended.

Tang Rui turned his head, staring up at the ceiling.

He was utterly exhausted.

It felt like his body had betrayed him.

Only 63 sit-ups, and he felt like this?

Back in the day, during the PE exam, he breezed through 45 sit-ups in a minute. No sweat. It was a walk in the park.

And now, in just a few years, his body had deteriorated to this extent.

He’d decided to start working out.

Not for any other reason.

Purely for his own health’s sake.

He couldn’t afford to be crippled at his age.

That would be a disaster.

He rested on the floor for over twenty minutes, letting his heartbeat and breathing return to normal, before finally getting up.

After a drink of water, he headed to his workshop.

The idea of getting a massage outside didn’t appeal to him.

No real reason.

Who really went to fancy massage parlors anyway?

Besides…

Given his condition, even the best massage wouldn’t do much good.

No matter how much pressure they applied.

Lactic acid in his muscles wouldn’t dissipate fully.

Tomorrow morning, he’d be screaming in agony, feeling as if a thousand knives were slicing through him.

So, at this point, the only thing that could help him was the system interface.

From his toolbox, he retrieved a battery, a brushless motor, an eccentric wheel, a connecting rod, and a few other components.

He immersed himself in building something, a device that could easily be misunderstood at first glance.

A fascia gun.

When he first saw this gadget, he’d been equally surprised.

He’d thought it was some newfangled tech invented by a pampered player.

A prop for movies, doubling as a massage tool.

Later, he realized…

He was the one who had been mistaken.

The fascia gun was surprisingly simple in structure. Anyone with the parts and hands could assemble one.

Tang Rui spent a mere ten minutes crafting this basic contraption.

Though the design was far from polished.

Lacking the right components, he wrapped it in plastic.

But that didn’t matter to him.

He intended to use the system interface to fortify it anyway.

[Item: Fascia Gun]

[Experience: 0/150]

[Origin Point: 1.25]

Creating the fascia gun would net him an additional 0.1 origin points, akin to the aircraft model.

To alleviate the ache in his body, he strengthened it without a second thought.

Reinforced Shell – 1 Origin Point.

Enhanced Accessories – 1 Point.

Reinforced Ball – 1 Origin Point.

After these enhancements, the fascia gun underwent a radical transformation.

From a rudimentary knockoff to a state-of-the-art marvel of technology.

Even the name changed under the system’s influence.

[Item: Vibrating Physiotherapy Instrument]

[Experience: 0/350]

[Origin: 8.25]

Tang Rui examined the system panel data, gritted his teeth, and proceeded to enhance it further.

After all, this was a one-shot strengthening device, and its efficacy was wanting.

Special Motor Enhancement – 1 Origin Point.

[Special Battery Boost – 1 Origin Point]

Special Transmission Upgrade – 1 Origin Point.

He fortified every hardware component directly. With only three of them, the cost was minimal.

A blue light flickered.

Tang Rui shifted his gaze back to the system panel, and a surprising addition caught his eye.

[Item: Vibrating Physiotherapy Instrument]

[Experience: 0/1300]

[Enhancement: Shell, Accessory (Special), Ball Head]

[Attribute: Shock wave power increased by 150%]

[Origin: 5.25]

The newfound attributes left him taken aback.

This was a first.

In the past, he’d enhanced other equipment, but he’d never glimpsed the attribute window.

He mulled it over for a while.

A realization struck him.

His previous enhancements had focused on individual components.

This time, though, he’d strengthened the entire fascia gun.

Every special part of the accessories had been enhanced.

And with this, the puzzle fell into place.

Enhancing a particular type of equipment unlocked its attribute bar.

Upgrading amplified the equipment’s traits.

Strengthening boosted its attributes.

Fascinating.

Tang Rui studied the origin points on the system panel, steeled himself, and subjected the ball head to a thorough special enhancement.

[Special Reinforced Silica Mat – 1 Origin Point]

Special Reinforced Sleeve – 1 Origin Point.

Special Motor Overhaul – 1 Origin Point.

A green light gleamed.

Enhancement complete.

The ball head underwent a drastic metamorphosis.

But Tang Rui wasn’t fixated on the appearance. He craved the newly acquired attributes.

[Item: Vibrating Physiotherapy Instrument]

[Experience: 0/1800]

[Enhancement: Shell, Accessory (Special), Ball Head (Special)]

[Attribute: Shock wave power increased by 150%, effective amplitude raised by 150%]

[Origin Point: 2.25]

The freshly added attributes pleased Tang Rui.

The effective amplitude was a significant trait.

Much like APM, where even reaching 300 didn’t cut it.

Done.

Enhancements ceased due to a shortage of origin points.

Tang Rui picked up the instrument and began massaging his thighs.

Buzz!

A gentle hum filled the air.

Tang Rui, though, was wide-eyed, experiencing a blend of sourness and chilliness.

The sour sensation swiftly faded, replaced by numbness.

Less than five seconds.

The numbness vanished.

In its place settled a comforting, relaxing sensation.

“Not a bad investment.”

For the outcome, the origin points were well spent.

Compared to everything else, health was paramount.

The instrument worked wonders.

He felt like he’d upgraded his fitness gear.

What a pity that origin points were scarce.

Previously, they’d meant little to him. Now, observing his stats, he realized their true value.

Gaining them was quite the chore, however.

Only self-made items earned origin points.

But crafting had criteria to meet, like the treadmill from before.

As Tang Rui massaged his legs and abdomen, his mind churned, contemplating how to amass a substantial number of origin points..
