Chapter 12: Second Development, Late Bloomer
Omg!
My sister-in-law, Mei Yanping, is truly a treasure of a mature woman; she's managed to earn so many rewards!
Lu Mingguang was thrilled as he watched the subtitles.
Therefore, one should be loyal and righteous!
Increase the Body attribute to seven points and the Appearance attribute to seven points.
This was already the peak value during my student years, and it's definitely something to be proud of among normal people; it's quite good.
In addition to the title of "Wealth and Honor Cannot Be Moved", it also grants an extra bit of intelligence and a bit of resilience.
Great.
Intelligence helps complete main tasks better and makes solving problems easier, while perseverance is a savior for middle-aged men!
Lu Ming immediately equipped the system with the title "Wealth and Honor Cannot Be Moved". Although he did not feel it for the time being, based on previous experience, the effect of the attribute improvement usually gradually appeared within three or four days.
and many more!
At that moment, Lu Ming suddenly remembered a very surprising question!
He's forty years old!
To grow another five centimeters taller at this age is simply superhuman!
The only option is to move.
She took her daughter to live in another city.
This is a good opportunity to avoid his sister-in-law Mei Yanping's revenge. That woman is definitely furious; she could easily kill him with a single phone call.
After figuring out his strategy, Lu Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Anyway, he now has the academic genius system, and he can earn twelve grams of gold by completing daily tasks every day, so he can live well anywhere!
Thinking about it this way, he decided to ignore the potential problems caused by the improvement in his physique and appearance attributes and continue to make late-night snacks for his daughter and two junior high school boys.
Wait until you wake up the next day.
I actually felt like I was getting a leg cramp, so I had to take a whole pack of oral calcium supplements temporarily.
Two more days passed.
The effect of increasing four attributes at once has finally become apparent.
His intelligence and physical strength have both increased significantly. He lost seven or eight pounds quickly and his appearance became much younger and more handsome, as if he had returned to the age of thirty.
His height increased by three centimeters.
The other two centimeters clearly grew in other places!
really?
When Lu Ming checked the changes in his body in the bathroom that night, he was still a little dazed.
This super-study system is amazing!
Is this possible?
A second growth spurt begins at forty; a late bloomer?
This penthouse has two bathrooms. The master bathroom is relatively small, but it has a long, narrow floor-length mirror.
Lu Ming observed his own body through the mirror. With his physique and appearance attributes both increasing to seven points, the change was quite significant.
In just a few days, the middle-aged man's fat quickly turned into muscle, making his body look very strong, and his face and features became more handsome and rugged.
It's not just that my figure and nose bridge have become slightly higher, it's not just that my hair has become darker and thicker, and it's not just that my muscles have become bigger.
So cool!
The men's confidence soared.
Lu Ming picked up his phone, took a few selfies in front of the mirror, and then felt that it would be a shame not to share this joy on social media.
He simply changed into a new pair of pure cotton underwear, took a few more selfies, and then selected one to share on his WeChat Moments.
He used his phone to cover his face, revealing only his muscular physique and long legs that showed his height of over 1.8 meters.
The title is simple.
My post-divorce fitness results!
Soon, several friends and old classmates liked the post, and I even received a message from my neighbor Xue Meiting.
"Da Ming, are you planning to go on a blind date? You've even got abs now!"
Xue Meiting herself was frequently participating in various blind date events, and subconsciously felt that Lu Ming's hard work in exercising must also be for the purpose of remarrying.
"I haven't had much going on lately. Besides taking care of the kids, I spend the rest of my time working out!"
Lu Ming finally escaped the grave of marriage; how could he possibly fall into it again?
That said, since adding Xue Meiting as a friend at the last weekend dinner, the two have not been in contact.
He had no intention of initiating a conversation, and the woman, who was a vice president in a state-owned enterprise, also looked down on him somewhat.
At this moment, Xue Meiting took the initiative to speak, saying, "I've already investigated Boss Huang's matter for you. He doesn't have many connections at the top of the Provincial Investment Group; he only has people helping him at the bottom. I'm just making an example of him to warn others!"
"That would really be a hassle for you!"
Lu Ming didn't really care about Boss Huang's affairs, nor did he care about his ex-wife Guo Haili's life or death, but she was, after all, his daughter's biological mother.
If some really bad rumors were to spread, it certainly wouldn't be a good thing for my daughter.
"There's nothing to worry about. I also need to find an opportunity to establish my authority within the group, so that those below me don't think I'm easy to fool."
Xue Meiting sent a voice message, which sounded surprisingly enthusiastic.
soon.
She continued, "Actually, Gao He has suddenly become a bit rebellious lately and is quite difficult to manage. After thinking it over, I'd like to trouble you to take care of him for a while."
"It's alright, we're neighbors living across the street, we should help each other out!" Lu Ming reciprocated and immediately agreed.
Anyway, he has to take care of Rui Rui and Cheng Yuhang every day, so it's not too much trouble for him to take care of Yang Yunhao and Gao He as well.
It's just a matter of cooking two more dishes each night.
As for tutoring homework, if Gao He couldn't solve a problem, the other children usually couldn't solve it either, so he would explain it to them carefully.
As his memory improved to nine points, Lu Ming quickly recovered his knowledge from junior and senior high school, and could recall it after a little review.
The next day.
It just so happens to be the weekend.
Lu Ming arranged for the children to go out and relax for the night, while he cooked a feast at home, treating everyone as a family gathering.
Whether it's selling or buying a house, or valuing property and handling Mr. Huang's affairs, you should always express your gratitude to others.
For some unknown reason, neither senior students Cheng Yong'an nor Lao Yang came; only Mei Yanping and Xue Meiting showed up.
The father of a junior high school girl and the mother of two junior high school boys.
The three of them faced more than a dozen dishes.
Lu Ming didn't want to waste any, so he packed up a few main dishes and put them in the freezer to make a late-night snack for the children tomorrow.
"Da Ming, you really know how to live frugally!"
Mui Yim Ping didn't even know how to criticize this guy. She's worth hundreds of millions, can't she afford twelve dishes?
Actually, she was quite angry at first, but after seeing the gym photos that Lu Ming shared on his WeChat Moments last night, she finally decided to come over for dinner.
"This shows I don't consider you outsiders." Lu Ming didn't feel embarrassed at all, and even felt that the remaining eight dishes were too much.
We can't possibly finish it all.
"Daming, I've also found that you're quite suitable for a life together. You have a good character, are tall and handsome, and are very loving towards children."
Xue Meiting suddenly started praising.
She has been divorced for over two years and has a son who is about to start high school. She is also very busy and is in dire need of a husband who can take care of the family.
No!
Mei Yanping didn't want her best friend to suddenly interfere, so she hurriedly asked, "Tingting, you've been going on blind dates for the past two years, haven't you found a man you like?"
Xue Meiting complained unhappily, "Don't even mention it. Most of them don't even look at me. And when I do meet one or two decent families, they don't even want me."
Mei Yanping chuckled and advised, "Don't think that just because you're a beautiful CEO now, you have too high expectations of the man!"
At least don't keep an eye on Lu Ming.
Xue Meiting sighed, "Right now, I just want to find someone who's no worse than my ex-husband. He's remarried, so why should I stay single? But this kind of thing is really annoying!"
The two women gradually began to talk about blind dates and remarriage.
Lu Ming opened a few bottles of ice-cold beer, poured a glass for each of them, and then they ate and chatted together.
Xue Meiting, the female CEO, is indeed eager to remarry, partly due to various needs in life and partly due to her resentment.
However, circumstances are beyond one's control. As long as a middle-aged man has decent material conditions and is willing to lower his standards, he can remarry at any time.
It's already difficult for a middle-aged woman like Xue Meiting; she's stuck in a limbo, not to mention she's the female CEO of a state-owned enterprise, known for her many responsibilities and little pay.
All things considered, it's less than 600,000 a year, so there are definitely requirements regarding the man's financial situation.
This gave Lu Ming a slight sense of relief; at least he was safe.
Unexpectedly.
Xue Meiting became increasingly depressed as they talked. Suddenly, she drank most of a glass of ice-cold beer and then said to him, "Daming, I think you're really great. Why don't we live together? I'll help you pay off your debts, and you can focus on taking care of the family and the two kids."
No!
Lu Ming decisively refused, saying, "Ms. CEO, I'm not good enough for someone with such excellent qualities!"
As her best friend, Mei Yanping hurriedly advised Xue Meiting, "Don't waste your time on Daming. He's been tormented by his ex-wife for years to the point of almost jumping off a building. How could he dare to remarry?"
"yes!"
Lu Ming nodded repeatedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a black interface suddenly popped up, displaying several lines of green text!
"Women will only hinder your progress!"
"I rejected the temptation of my beautiful neighbor and completed the side quest (seven) ahead of schedule. I was rewarded with one point of body attribute, which is expected to increase by about four centimeters."
"You, a freshman in high school, have already resisted the temptation of the beautiful CEO, completing side quest (25) ahead of schedule. Reward: one point to appearance attribute, plus an extra 200 grams of gold!"
