Chapter 13 Today I'll give myself a good makeover!
On Saturday morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains and shone on the bed.
Chen Mo was startled awake by the swaying.
He stretched lazily and then glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table.
10:20.
I slept in quite late today.
[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Bravely put down your phone!]
[Task completion progress: 5/5]
[Rewards: Appearance +2, Health +3, Courage +300]
[New mission progress update:]
[Courageous Reading: 2/7]
[A Brave Journey to the End: To be completed...]
[A Brave Lifestyle Enthusiast: 5% Complete]
[Current attribute update:]
Appearance rating: 72.5
[Health score: 62]
System Level: Lv1 (2600/10000)
The system interface suddenly unfolded before his eyes, and a series of messages made Chen Mo, who had just woken up, a little dizzy.
But he soon noticed that the final "Brave Lifestyle" task had already reached a 5% completion rate.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...
"It seems the system has noticed all the changes from last night."
Chen Mo sat up and stretched.
An unprecedented feeling of ease spread throughout my body.
Since gaining the health attribute bonus, he has clearly felt an improvement in his sleep quality.
I no longer feel sore all over and groggy when I wake up every morning, unlike before.
On the contrary, he is now full of energy, as if his body has inexhaustible energy.
While washing up, Chen Mo lingered in front of the mirror for a while longer.
He was stunned when he saw it.
The reflection in the mirror did indeed show signs of change.
My skin is whiter than it was a few days ago; it's not a pale white, but a healthy, radiant white.
The stubborn blackheads on my nose are gone, my pores have become smaller, and my skin feels much smoother to the touch.
"No wonder people say that fair skin covers up three flaws..."
Chen Mo stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "There's definitely some truth to that statement."
Then there are your own eyes.
Chen Mo leaned closer to the mirror and looked at himself carefully.
The redness in his eyes has decreased significantly, the whites of his eyes are clear, his pupils are bright and alert, and the dark circles under his eyes are almost invisible.
My whole energy and spirit have been lifted.
His current state is indeed similar to when he was in college.
It's even better than it was back then.
After all, I often stayed up late playing games during college, so my skin wasn't as good as it is now.
"The system's appearance enhancement is really effective."
Chen Mo smiled at himself in the mirror.
He recalled the looks his female colleagues gave him at the karaoke bar last night, and suddenly understood something.
He used to be plain-looking and introverted, easily overlooked in a crowd.
But now, with his improved looks, charisma, and confidence, he seems to be gradually transforming from an "invisible" figure into a man with a strong presence.
After washing up, Chen Mo went into the kitchen.
Today is Saturday, so there's no need to rush; he can take his time preparing breakfast.
It can actually be considered lunch, so we're combining the two meals.
Chen Mo opened the refrigerator, which contained tomatoes, eggs, noodles, and some green vegetables that he had bought yesterday.
"Let's make some tomato and egg noodles."
He tied on the light blue "chef" apron and began to work.
Since acquiring the cooking skills rewarded by the system, Chen Mo has basically stopped ordering takeout and now cooks for himself.
Cut the tomatoes into chunks, beat the eggs, and chop the scallions.
Heat oil in a pan, fry the eggs, and set aside.
Stir-fry the tomatoes until they release their juices, then add water. Once the water boils, add the noodles.
Finally, add the scrambled eggs, season with salt and a little soy sauce, and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
The whole process was smooth and efficient; in less than twenty minutes, he had prepared a steaming bowl of tomato and egg noodles.
The bright red tomatoes, golden eggs, and emerald green scallions create an appealing combination.
Chen Mo carried the bowl to the dining table and took a sip of soup first.
It has a perfect balance of sweet and sour, with the natural umami flavor of tomatoes.
Take another bite of noodles, and the texture is just right.
"Not bad, your skills have improved again."
He nodded in satisfaction and began to enjoy his simple brunch.
After finishing his noodles and tidying up the kitchen, Chen Mo picked up his phone and checked the time: 11:30 a.m.
There are about 7 hours left until our 6:30 PM date.
"What should I do during this time?"
Chen Mo stood in the middle of the living room, looking around the rented house where he had lived for three years.
The apartment is small, with one bedroom and one living room, and the decoration is simple, but it's not quite clean and tidy.
He used to pay little attention to his living environment, thinking that as long as he could live there, it was fine.
Now that I'm free anyway, I might as well tidy up a bit.
Anyway, it's still early before lunchtime.
Logically speaking, shouldn't this be considered a change in my life? It should be considered as completing that month-long task from the system.
Two hours later, a slightly tired Chen Mo sat on the sofa, looking at the spotless and clean house, quite satisfied with his work.
[A Brave Lifestyle Enthusiast: 10% Complete]
"Holy crap, that actually works!"
Chen Mo looked at the progress bar that popped up on the system interface, which had increased by another 5%, and smiled broadly.
While he was washing his face and hands in the bathroom, he realized that he hadn't cut his hair for more than two months.
Her bangs were so long they almost covered her eyes, and the sides were also messy.
The clothes he was wearing were old T-shirts and jeans he bought a few years ago, and they were quite faded from washing.
It's not that he's poor and can't afford to buy it; it's just a typical male mindset. He'll just wear whatever he can as long as it's still wearable, without making any effort to dress himself up.
So he rarely buys clothes, partly because he finds it troublesome, and partly because he thinks it doesn't matter what a programmer wears, since he sits in the office all day anyway.
But today is different.
Chen Mo hesitated.
Tonight was the first time he had been formally invited to dinner by a girl, and she was a very elegant and beautiful woman.
Although Zhongyi said it was just to repay a favor, he felt that he should at least dress decently, as it was a sign of respect for others.
Just as Chen Mo was debating whether to get a haircut and buy some new clothes, the system interface suddenly popped up.
[Host's emotional fluctuations detected, triggering a new task]
[Task Name: A Courageous Change]
[Task Content: Get a haircut, buy clothes, and dress yourself up]
[Task Rewards: Appearance +1, Fashion Skills (Beginner), Courage +200]
[Note: External changes often lead to internal changes. A middle-aged person who dares to invest in their appearance is more courageous in facing life's challenges!]
"..."
Chen Mo looked at the mission description and smiled.
"System, you know I'm shy about dressing up, that's why you issued this task, right?"
Of course, the system wouldn't answer him.
But Chen Mo had already made up his mind.
Since the system is encouraging him to change his appearance, what is there to hesitate about?
Just do it.
"I'll make a good change of myself today."
Chen Mo snapped his fingers, grabbed his phone, and quickly left the house.
He himself didn't realize that in just one week, his execution and action capabilities had improved significantly compared to before.
