But considering how tired Lin Shen was after the long day, Qin Yuenan couldn’t bring herself to say what was on her mind.

And so, they parted ways and headed to their respective homes.

"Go home and rest well."

"Yeah."

After kissing Qin Yuenan goodbye, the first thing Lin Shen did upon returning home was dive onto his soft bed, where he lay face down for about ten minutes.

’Ah, it’s good to be home!’

Lin Shen mused, then got up and headed to the bathroom. After stripping naked, he took a moment to admire his toned physique in the full-length mirror.

The double dose of extreme exercise from mountain climbing and the marathon had made the muscles in his legs more defined than ever, brimming with a sense of power and firmness.

Plus, with the non-regression effect from Sports Health, Lin Shen felt his leg muscles could now rival those of some professional athletes.

’Isn’t that a bit too cocky?’

Lin Shen mentally chided himself, then suddenly remembered the mission from the Big Blue Book.

’Post a note about fitness.’

’Maybe I should take a picture of my legs and let those "Internet Strong Brothers" have a look and rate them?’

’No sooner said than done!’

Lin Shen smiled knowingly, found a good angle, took photos of his thighs and calves, wrote a caption, and posted it on Xiaohongshu.

[One month’s progress. How’d I do?]

[Big Blue Book:]

[Level-Up Mission: Please post a note about fitness and gain 20,000 followers (Completed).]

[Big Blue Book Lv. 5 → Lv. 6]

[Decryption Effect: Natural Web Traffic Gain: 60% → 70%]

[Reward: Basic Experience Book*1]

[Level-Up Mission: Please post a note about a ’shop visit’ and gain 40,000 followers]

’A shop visit?’

’That’s right up my alley!’

Lin Shen grinned in excitement.

’I’ll just head over to the store tomorrow and take a look around. I can knock out this Big Blue Book mission with no trouble at all.’

’I can even use it to promote my own shop!’

’Maybe I can even take care of Shuaiyang’s livestream mission at the same time!’

’Kill two birds with one stone!’

Feeling quite pleased with himself, Lin Shen finished his shower and applied a face mask. Then he grabbed two cans of Coke and a bunch of Shine Muscat grapes from the fridge.

He then settled into the massage chair on his balcony, enjoying the fruit and checking his phone as the chair worked on his tired muscles.

Comments on his latest post started rolling into his Xiaohongshu notifications.

Naturally, most of them were from random users expressing their doubts.

[You got like this after only a month of working out? Yeah, right! Look at the definition on those calves. That’s at least half a year’s worth of work!]

[Nah, three months is enough. The catch is you have to spend the rest of the day in a wheelchair and literally crawl out of the gym.]

[Next up: he starts selling a workout plan to rip off clueless followers.]

...

Instead of getting angry at these "provocative" comments, Lin Shen simply raised an eyebrow. A faint smile played on his lips as he lay back in the massage chair, quietly waiting for the show to begin.

Sure enough, he didn’t even have to argue back himself; his fans had already opened fire.

[Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t.]

[Selling a course? You’ve got to be kidding. Go look at his previous posts. His family is loaded. Why would he need to sell a course?]

[Stop posting pics of your scrawny legs. The creator’s thighs are way more sculpted than yours. You have to admit that some people are just naturally gifted at fitness.]

[Damn, his legs are so thick. I bet he’s packing some serious power in *that* department! I want a taste! (drool)]

"Pfft—!"

Lin Shen couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

He used to think that these fans, who mindlessly defended their idols, might have some issues with their Spirit.

But now that it was happening to him, he found it was actually pretty great.

They were his mouthpieces.

"I guess it’s just human nature to have double standards."

Lin Shen chuckled, then ignored the comments on Xiaohongshu, closing his eyes to enjoy the massage.

The relaxation after such a grueling workout was definitely one of the best feelings in the world.

Lin Shen enjoyed the massage for over half an hour. Afterward, he peeled off his face mask and went to bed.

’I hope Shennan Pet Society gets off to a good start tomorrow!’
