9: Perfect muscles and handsome looks

First, assemble the broadheads, then try out the new bow.

With the increase in Strength and the bonus from Violence, a 30-pound bow felt too light for Bai Xuan, a 40-pound bow was slightly light, and a 50-pound bow felt a bit heavy.

"I'll use the 40-pound one for now."

Taking the new 40-pound bow and the newly assembled broadheads, Bai Xuan entered the game world.

"Whoosh--"

The arrow flew at an even faster speed, carrying more powerful kinetic energy, emitting an even sharper whistling sound as it accurately struck the left eye of a Low-Level Infected.

"Pfft!!!"

The sharp arrowhead easily tore through the fragile eyeball tissue, with one-third of the arrow's tip penetrating deep into the brain, and a thick, grey-black fluid suddenly gushed out.

The corpse fell, and a light orb appeared.

"Sure enough, with a new bow and new arrows, I can now instantly kill a Low-Level Infected with one shot."

"It's just a pity that I've hunted down most of the monsters on the ground floor."

"Hunting monsters on higher floors won't be as easy."

"However, my Agility attribute is a full 1.74, and I have the bonus from Agility LV2. The buildings in Nantian Community only have seven floors, so climbing them won't be a problem for me."

"Even if it's slow, it's slow. I'm not in a hurry; safety first."

Thus, Bai Xuan slowly and steadily hunted, using Nantian Community as his hunting ground.

Although his speed wasn't fast, Nantian Community wasn't large either.

Five days later.

Bai Xuan had cleared out the entire Nantian Community.

As for Bai Xuan's gains, they were naturally not small.

First, he gained a total of 8.20 attribute points.

If distributed evenly, each attribute could be increased by 2.05.

[Strength: 1.72 → 3.77]

[Physique: 1.79 → 3.84]

[Agility: 1.74 → 3.79]

[Spirit: 1.70 → 3.75]

Then came the skills.

[Archery LV5 (39/500): Shooting Accuracy +20%]

[Agility LV4 (7/400): Passive Skill, you will become more agile, Perception +26%, Reaction Speed +11%, Agility +11%]

[Violence LV3 (183/300): Passive Skill, you will possess stronger Violence, Explosive Power +19%, Muscle Mass +9%, Strength +9%]

For both upgrades of Violence, Bai Xuan chose Explosive Power. The reason was simple: Strength could be increased through attribute points, and as for muscle mass... Bai Xuan didn't want to have overly exaggerated muscles.

Finally,

During this hunt, Bai Xuan also shot and killed a Low-Level Mutant, gaining the fourth skill, Tough Body.

[Tough Body LV3 (23/300): Passive Skill, your physique will become tougher, Skin Toughness +14%, Muscle Toughness +14%, Physique +9%]

The method for gaining Tough Body's proficiency is similar yet different from Agility and Violence; expending stamina and suffering status damage can both grant proficiency.

It was precisely because of this that Tough Body quickly reached LV3 during Bai Xuan's high-intensity workouts.

Regarding Tough Body's upgrades, after consideration, Bai Xuan decided to alternate between Tough Skin and Tough Muscle, besides Physique, to balance the toughness of his skin and muscles.

After showering.

Bai Xuan looked at himself in the mirror, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, forming a bright, sunny smile.

"Too handsome."

"Masculine, heroic, burly, domineering..."

"This kind of muscle is simply too perfect, like it's carved with a knife and axe, every muscle line so deep, as if perfectly conforming to the golden ratio, even having a comic-book feel."

"Armor-like chest, shark-like abs, dog-like waist, bat-like back... This visual impact is simply too strong, full of power, perfectly fitting the aesthetic of Violence."

"And my skin... because of the effect of Tough Body, it has become tougher, which also subtly means it's tighter and has smaller pores."

Both his physique and skin had visibly become more perfect.

While his facial features hadn't changed much, there were some subtle differences.

Overall, Bai Xuan had become even more handsome.

From being a 'pretty boy' at first, he had become a 'handsome man'.

Now he was approaching 'male god' status.

And Bai Xuan wasn't wearing any makeup.

Just in his bare-faced state, he possessed a level of attractiveness approaching 'male god'.

If he were to put on makeup and style himself, for example, get a more suitable hairstyle, wear more suitable clothes... then he would undoubtedly be a 'male god', infinitely close to the peak of male attractiveness.

With this level of attractiveness, wouldn't finding a rich loli be easy?

There were plenty of rich, beautiful women who would be willing to let Bai Xuan 'eat soft rice with a hard bite'.

Making videos and becoming an internet celebrity could also easily earn money, and becoming a star shouldn't be difficult either.

Of course,

The current Bai Xuan wasn't interested in dating, becoming an internet celebrity, or becoming a star.

The current Bai Xuan only wanted to hunt.

To become stronger, to become more perfect.

Attribute increases could also enhance attractiveness.

So, what would his future self look like?

When his attractiveness reached an extreme.

Would he then possess extraordinary charm?

One glance, and he could make the opposite sex completely fall for him? Become his servants?

"Thinking about it... I'm really looking forward to it..."

Changing into pajamas and lying on the bed, Bai Xuan picked up his phone, planning to scroll through some videos before sleeping.

[Jiang Yuxi: Good Brother, I learned how to play mahjong today, and it's quite fun. Are you interested in learning, and then we can play together?]

[Bai Xuan: Deeply immersed in fitness, I must politely decline.]

[Jiang Yuxi: Tsk tsk.]

[Jiang Yuxi: Although fitness is a good thing, Good Brother, don't forget, moderate fitness attracts the opposite sex, excessive fitness attracts the same sex.]

[Jiang Yuxi: I don't want my Good Brother to suddenly become my 'Good Sister' one day.]

Seeing this, Bai Xuan's lips curled into a mischievous smile, and he teased:

[Bai Xuan: Wouldn't becoming 'Good Sisters' be better? Then wouldn't we be able to get along more freely, without needing to avoid each other when showering or sleeping?]

After seeing this message, Jiang Yuxi's expression changed, and she quickly typed:

[Jiang Yuxi: Alright, alright, so that's how you want to talk.]

[Jiang Yuxi: Then hurry up and become my sister.]

[Jiang Yuxi: When you find a boyfriend, we 'Good Sisters' can shower and sleep together.]

[Bai Xuan: Sounds good.]

He then immediately sent a thumbs-up emoji.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuxi also sent a disgusted emoji.

[Jiang Yuxi: Stop messing around.]

[Jiang Yuxi: If you don't want to play mahjong, then don't play mahjong.]

[Jiang Yuxi: Even if we don't play mahjong, we should at least have a meal and discuss college applications.]

[Jiang Yuxi: I've chosen four universities: Nantian Normal University, Nantian Agricultural University, Tianxin Medical University, and Jueshan University. Look up some information online and see which one we should apply to?]

[Bai Xuan: Okay.]

[Bai Xuan: I'll talk to you after I've looked up the information.]

[Jiang Yuxi: OK]

After this conversation, Bai Xuan immediately searched online for information about these four universities.

Among them, Nantian Normal University and Tianxin Medical University both had relatively strict management, so Bai Xuan directly ruled them out.

Nantian Agricultural University not only had poor dormitory management but was also too remote, making it inconvenient to rent an apartment off-campus.

Therefore, the most suitable choice was Jueshan University.
