Routine Exercise

The following day, Lin Yun finished the QuickBooks program and copied it to a CD.

Looking at the CD in his hand, Lin Yun thought back to his younger self on Earth. He remembered the time when he sold pirated music CDs to his classmates. His income at that time was substantial.

"Haha," Lin Yun chuckled to himself. In his opinion, the '90s to the early 2000s were the best time of his life. It was the transition period from analog to digital. Many gadgets at that time were exceptionally cool to own. Everyone would show off their Walkman or PlayStation.

Putting the CD away, Lin Yun changed into a tracksuit and headed to a nearby park.

The morning sunlight shone brightly, illuminating the spacious park. Lin Yun warmed up and started his routine jog. His mind was occupied by the future he fantasized about. Instead of jumping to the advanced technology era directly, he planned to slowly let everyone experience the transition period he loved.

An hour later, Lin Yun walked back home, his eyes drawn to the system panel.

[Host: Lin Yun

Authority Level: 1

Next Level: 0/10,000

Age: 18

Strength: 67.4

Constitution: 73.8

Charisma: 82.6

Wealth: 63 Yuan

Technology Points (TP): 1037]

After his routine exercise, Lin Yun's stats had increased slightly. His strength had increased by 0.4 points, his constitution by 0.8 points, and his charisma by 1.6 points.

"As expected of a golden finger," Lin Yun sighed in marvel.

At this rate, as long as he kept persisting, maxing out all the stats shouldn't be a problem. He could definitely become a "male god" before entering university next year. At that time, Pan Wei would definitely think he had undergone plastic surgery.

Returning home, Lin Yun cooked a diet meal for himself. He had recently visited a market and discovered that the price of high-quality food was exceptionally cheap. Take the 250g salmon steak he was cooking as an example; it would cost at least 10 to 15 yuan back on Earth, but it was only 5 yuan here.

Moreover, supplements here were extremely good and cheap. Lin Yun bought a few cans of various brands of whey protein to try out without thinking much about the price. This world was definitely a paradise for bodybuilders and athletes.

Lin Yun took a shower and returned to the dining room for his meal. There was news of tomorrow's national exam broadcasting on the TV. Lin Yun watched with gusto as the students displayed their confidence.

"Son, are you going out today?" Wang Chulan walked over and asked.

"Yes. Is there anything, Mom?" Lin Yun responded.

"It's nothing," Wang Chulan curled her lips meaningfully. "How's your relationship with Student Chu?"

Lin Yun was speechless. He shook his head and said, "Don't think about it too much, Mom. We're ordinary friends. Don't worry, I will find a beautiful and elegant daughter-in-law for you later."

"Oh," Wang Chulan was disappointed. She sat down and asked with a gossipy expression, "What is your type?"

Lin Yun laughed at his mother's expression. He thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the moment, Mom. Generally, I like women from Northwest City."

In his past life, Lin Yun was fascinated by Xinjiang beauties, especially the famous actress Dilraba. His first girlfriend was also from Xinjiang.

Wang Chulan's eyes lit up. "That's great. Mom approves. They are very tall and beautiful," she said excitedly.

Lin Yun chuckled. He wondered whether his goddess Dilraba existed in this world. In his past life, she later attended the Shanghai Theater Academy. Counting this year, she should be 16 years old right now.

Lin Yun had made a decision. He would visit the Far East Theater Academy in two years. Perhaps he could meet her there.

After the meal, Lin Yun helped his parents with the store. His gaze wandered to the technology list he planned to make next. He had already decided to enter the game industry.

[Minesweeper - 20 TP]

[Solitaire - 20 TP]

[Number Munchers - 20 TP]

[Space Invaders - 100 TP]

[Plant vs. Zombie (simplified) - 1,000 TP]

Lin Yun simply skipped those basic-level games and focused on the popular games from his past life.

"Simplified version?" he murmured to himself as he stared at Plant vs Zombie. Based on the level 1 authority, complex AI was nonexistent. A simplified version could mean simple zombies and plants. With his programming skill, it wouldn't be difficult for him to add complex AI and turn it into a stable version of Plant vs. Zombie.

Without further thought, Lin Yun chose this game. He would start his learning session tonight.

At 10 AM, Chu Ling'er arrived at the store and invited Lin Yun to her house. Last night, she had already told her father about the finance program, and he was interested.

Soon, the van arrived at a relatively luxurious community on the east side of Sunshine City. It was where the wealthy people of the city resided.

From Lin Yun's memory, Chu Ling'er's father was the mayor of the city, and her mother was engaged in the hotel business. She was a proper "Bai Fu Mei"[1] princess.

Lin Yun followed Chu Ling'er into her villa and arrived in the living room. A dignified middle-aged man sat at the table, reading a newspaper. He was Chu Gaocheng, Chu Ling'er's father.

"Dad, this is my friend, Lin Yun," Chu Ling'er said softly and invited Lin Yun to sit down.

Chu Gaocheng put the newspaper down and gave Lin Yun an amiable smile. "Hello, Student Lin."

"Hello, Uncle Chu. Please forgive me for coming empty-handed," Lin Yun responded politely.

"It's good that you came empty-handed. I don't want to be accused of bribery," Chu Gaocheng chuckled jokingly.

He paused for a moment and asked, "Ling'er told me that you are a top student and have created a financial program. Can you show it to me? Don't worry. If it's good, I will introduce it to my unit. There's a policy coming in the recent years. We have started using computers in our work now."

Lin Yun smiled and placed the CD on the table. "We can test it right away."

"Good. Follow me." Chu Gaocheng was surprised by Lin Yun's confidence. He got up and brought Lin Yun and Chu Ling'er to his study.

Lin Yun quickly inserted the CD and installed QuickBooks on the computer.

"Let me demonstrate it," Lin Yun said and began to create mock-up data.
