9 Raising Stats

Massive thanks to my first supporters for this novel, "Shadowlord96" and "afrn8". I hope you like me novel and keep on supporting it.

Chapter 9

"Young Master Ruan, the clothes that you ordered have arrived." Chen Xian informed Wei Jun while he was training hard. Wei Jun had been training the entire day and not once had he taken a break. To the point that Chen Xian was now worried but he refrained from saying anything, afraid that his master would yell at him.

[Strength: 5]

[Stamina: 4]

[Agility: 4]

Wei Jun's stat had increased after an entire day of hard work. The good thing about the system was that the increase was permanent which meant that even if he lazed around or ate anything unhealthy, his stats wouldn't drop. He was quite happy with this function so his mood had improved quite a bit after seeing his progress.

'Today is Friday, right?' He asked the system.

[Yes]

'Very well. After tomorrow's training, we will leave to take the protagonist's opportunities.' Wei Jun decided to work on this matter the entire weekend because he had decided to go to the office on Monday.

He came to the reception hall, still sweaty and in his underwear, and saw the man from this morning at the clothing shop whose name he didn't bother to ask nor did he have an interest in knowing.

Tian Long bowed as he saw Wei Jun enter along with his staff. Wei Jun didn't say anything and waited for Tian long to begin. Tian Long also didn't waste any time because he was already very nervous in Wei Jun's presence.

"Young Master Ruan, these are the clothes that you had requested. I have prepared them exactly as you instructed." Tian Long nodded and one by one, all the employees displayed all the suits.

Five luxurious suits were presented to him that Wei Jun, still in his underwear, properly examined and said, "Marvelous. I like them. State your price."

Wei Jun was once again put in a good mood at the job well done. Tian Long on the other hand was stunned like the rest of the employees and the servants of the villa that he failed to register Wei Jun's words.

Chen Xian cleared his throat, which made Tian Long snap out of it and he hurriedly but nervously replied, "Young Master, how dare I receive money from you. Please, the Elegantè would like you to have them as a gift. No! It would be our honor."

Wei Jun's mood improved once again and he replied with a loud laugh, "Hahaha! I like it. I like your sincerity but I won't take them for free. I will make sure to remember this. Whenever you need something that I can help you with, come straight to me without hesitation."

Tian Long was happy by the promise made by Wei Jun and he smiled while saying, "Then I will take my leave with the reminder of your generous promise."

"Hmm… You're excused." Wei Jun said and turned to Chen Xian, "Take this to my room and prepare dinner in an hour. Tomorrow I have to go somewhere so I must sleep early."

"Eh." But Chen Xian was taken aback by Wei Jun's institutions and confusedly said, "But Young Master Ruan, tomorrow is the birthday banquet of your mother."

'Mother?' Wei Jun was also taken aback by the newly revealed information.

[Wei Jun Ruan's mother, host]

'So what? She isn't my mother so what do I care?'

[But wouldn't it be a good opportunity to familiarize yourself with the upper class for your business]

'Hmm… That makes sense.' Wei Jun thought at the system's suggestion and replied to Chen Xian, "I seem to have forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me. We will head there tomorrow."

Chen Xian nodded at the plausible answer and left along with the servants who carried the suits.

Wei Jun ignored that and went back to the gym. There was still an hour before the dinner and he didn't want to waste even a second. He still had about five stamina pills and he wanted to use them before sleeping.

=====

Saturday, 15:00. Five hours before the banquet.

[You have consumed a stamina pill]

[Stamina is restored]

[You have consumed ten pills in quick successions]

[Effect of the stamina pill will slightly drop]

[Stamina pill will now recover ninety percent of your stamina]

[To restore the effect, please refrain from consuming stamina pill for a week]

'So it became like this once I took ten stamina pills in close intervals, huh?' Wei Jun analyzed the changes as he exercised. The limit on the stamina pill would be removed by itself if he didn't take it for a week just like a drug effect.

'Well, there is no need anyway.' He thought inwardly as he checked his stats.

[Stamina: 10]

[Agility: 8]

'I mostly trained my stamina so I could last longer.' He thought inwardly.

[Last longer?]

'Shut up.' Wei Jun snapped at the system's joke and continued, 'Since agility is closely linked to stamina training, it increased quite a bit as well. As for strength, since I didn't focus much on it, it would explain why it didn't raise much.'

[Strength: 7]

All in all, his stamina had reached a point where he could finish basic physical exercises without a hitch and almost twenty-four hours of nonstop exercise would explain how he raised his stats by that much.

'Let's finish another set before I wash up for the party.' Wei Jun decided and began training. His one set only consisted of 10 Km running which he did running around the villa instead of on the treadmill. One hundred pushups, curl-ups, and burpees. After that, he would perform a similar number of sit-ups and he was done with one set that took him about an hour with his current stats.

Just as he finished, Chen Xian appeared and said, "Young Master Yuan, if you don't end it now, you will be late. Please do not forget, instead of the banquet, there is also dinner with the Yu family."

'Now what the hell is that?' Wei Jun annoyingly commented inwardly but refrained from saying anything. He simply nodded and began to prepare for the evening.
