[Reward: 10 Erotic points]

Liam unconsciously swallowed his saliva after reading the notification. A bright smile spread across his face, and his heart remained calm, instead of the expected rapid beats and troubled thoughts.

'Interesting, exactly what I need at this point to get stronger,' his eyes fixed on the quest.

Although, in his previous life, completing such tasks was easy—just a click away—but now he had to do them physically. He couldn't explain how he felt right now, like he was beginning to enjoy the whole thing.

In his previous life, he started gaming at a very young age, around 4 years, due to boredom and loneliness, games became his close companions. Gaming became his lifestyle and part of him as he began to play any type of game for fun, so, now that he found himself transmigrated into his favorite game world, 'Xianxia eroge,' his heart accepted it without worry, craving to experience that same fun physically.

At this moment, a thought surfaced in his head. 'Wait... Will I be stuck here for eternity, or will I be able to return to my main self?' Confusion clouded his heart. He tried to ask the system, but there was no response, no matter how many times he tried.

'I'm beginning to love this, even the villain side of it is cool.'

Everything felt real and unreal at the same time, like he was in a dream. He had already accepted this reality, his heart wishing it was real, not just a dream.

This was the scene of 'no way home' he was struck here as a minor character.

'There is even a reward after completing the quest. Lucky me, this is a double win-win, benefiting my body and getting an additional reward afterward. And it's even a daily quest, so the reward is guaranteed as long as I complete it,' he pondered. 'If I want to go through this world, then becoming strong is the option, to become stronger, then I need more point and getting 10 points daily isn't going to help.....'

His countenance changed as he thought of how to get more points and become stronger. 'I'll worry about that later, I should focus on the task before me for now.'

Seeing a reward involved made his heart calm a little, at least he was going to get something in return.

"Instructor Qiao Mei....."

"You can call me by my name, no need to honorifics," Qiao Mei cut him short, correcting him with a smile on her face.

Liam was slightly taken aback by her kind attitude; he couldn't imagine that the lovely, kind, and smiling girl from yesterday would remain the same. He thought she was like a sheep in wolf clothing and would become cold to him during the training, considering him a weakling.

Looking at her, there was a friendly expression on her face, which he too returned.

"I see, uh, if that's what you want then so shall it be." "Now, I'll get down to the task."

Qiao Mei nodded, her eyes on him.

Liam took a deep breath, psyching himself up for the task. Without any hesitation, he got down on the ground, assumed the pushup position, and began his first pushup.

"One," he muttered under his breath as he lowered his body down.

He struggled, his arms shaking with effort because the ground was too hard and sharp against his palms, but he pushed himself back up.

"Two."

"Three... five... eight... ten..."

He was able to count to ten without stopping, but going down one more time was hard.

Weakly, he hung his body in the air, facing difficulty lowering one more time.

Liam gritted his teeth tightly. Sweat dripped from his forehead, and his muscles burned with exertion.

'Darn it!' The pain circulating through his entire body at this moment was unbearable to him; his legs and hands felt powerless to continue holding in position.

"I didn't expect you to count down ten at once, but try not to let go of your body to the ground," Qiao Mei slowly walked forward with her hands behind her back like a grandmaster watching her disciple.

With a strong heart, he struggled to remain on track.

Getting to his side. "Don't close your legs; separate them a little bit. Fully extend your arms without locking your elbows; maintain proper alignment throughout..." She slowly gave him a few prompts.

Liam quickly tried out her prompts; the pain lessened.

He instinctively forced himself down, continuing.

Veins popped out of his neck and arms, threatening to burst open at any moment.

He continued, but at times, he paused then relaxed his body in the air before proceeding again.

By the time he reached thirty-four, his arms felt like jelly, and his chest was on fire. But he didn't give up.

After 30 minutes of struggling with the pushup...

It wasn't an easy feat for him, after Several times of almost falling to the ground due to his trembling legs and hands.

"Forty-eight... forty-nine..." he grunted, pushing through the pain.

And finally, with one last effort, he completed his fifty pushups.

"Fifty!" he exclaimed triumphantly, collapsing to the ground in exhaustion.

Liam panted heavily, sweat soaking his clothes as he lay on the ground, with just a tiny bit of energy left.

Clap, clap, clap...

From behind, Qiao Mei clapped, nodding at him. "Great as a start," "I'll advise you to reserve as much energy as possible for the training ahead. We're just getting started."

Getting applauded by her, he felt motivated to continue and not embarrass himself before her.

Liam's eyes rested on the screen before him.

[Congratulations! You have completed the daily quest for pushups {Completed 50/50}]

[You're left with the completion of the rest of the daily quest to get your reward.]

-Time remaining: 15 hours

The time was counting down, letting him know his time limit.

"In the training, I'll be a bit strict with you, get it?"

Liam nodded his head, understanding that it was for his own benefit.

*****

Six hours later, Liam was completely soaked in his own sweat as he ran about the place, using all the strength in him.

He fell to the ground in front of Qiao Mei.

"Weldon, this is the end of today's training." "I know your body is itching from exhaustion, try to avoid taking any pain relief to allow your body to modify with the training. Later, I'll come personally to administer medication to you."

"Replenish some of your energy before leaving," with that, Qiao Mei walked away after taking a last look at him.

[You have completed 50/50 jumps.]

Seeing the familiar screen in front of him, he knew he had managed to complete the quest.

- Push-ups: completed (50/50)

- Sit-ups: completed (50/50)

- Running: completed (50/50)

- Jump: completed (50/50)

During the training, the tasks given to him by Qiao Mei were exactly as they were on the daily quest dashboard; hence, it was a win-win for him since he didn't have to worry about the failure of completion later on.

[You did well, you're progressing little by little]

The angelic voice of the feminine system resounded inside him.

Liam felt shocked when he heard that unexpected statement.

'Thank you.'

[Completion rewards are now available.]

[Accept (Yes/No)]

Immediately, he accepted. How could he let go of the rewards after facing the difficulty of painfully accomplishing the daily quest.

[+10 Erotic points added to your point]

[+1 added to your strength]...
