my reality with some autobiography

Chapter 4, Mind training, all-round improvement

Take a few deep breaths.

Chen Xuan let go of his distracting thoughts and imagined a self in his mind, and then that self was like a spring, squatting quickly.

"1, 2, 3, 4"

before starting.

He thought about the exercises with his mind and imagination. After all, it was imagination.

Even if it works, the benefits should not be comparable to real-life exercise.

It is very likely that the 4 squats just produced 0.01 free attribute points. If you switch to mental squats, you will probably need to squat more.

So to be on the safe side, he just had to imagine himself doing 100 squats.

100 sounds like a lot at first glance.

But because it is a mental exercise.

In addition, Chen Xuan couldn't wait to verify his conjecture.

Therefore, the speed of doing mental squats is just like the time it takes for ordinary people to quickly count from 1 to 100.

It's done in less than 30 seconds.

As soon as he finished, Chen Xuan eagerly turned his attention to the skills column of the attribute panel:
Squat lv.3 (10/500)

Nothing changes!

Chen Xuan's expectations suddenly fell from the clouds to the bottom.

He said nothing with a sullen face, but just picked up the phone again and clicked to play the short video just now.

Pause after listening to a sentence without missing any details.

In an instant, the progress bar reached 90%.

Nothing.

"Delong and Wangshu, the attribute panel is already fantasy enough, but I actually find it too inefficient."

Just when Chen Xuan shook his head and was about to accept the reality.
The last sentence of the video reached my ears:
It's a sort of mental dress rehearsal, and the more vivid and realistic your imaginings are, the better.

In an instant.

It's like a revelation.

Chen Xuan murmured the words "vivid" and "close to reality", and his energy gradually became brighter.

"Imagination exercise should not be a wild imagination!"

He thought of the mindfulness meditation he had learned before to solve the problem of falling asleep.

Perhaps this mental exercise should be done in the form of meditation or visualization.

Immediately sit up straight and start trying.

Slowly, focus on your breathing.

Inhale.

exhale.

Inhale, exhale.
I didn't take a deep breath intentionally, just breathed as usual.

Follow the rhythm of your breathing and mentally observe the entire process of breathing.

Inhale:

The air enters the nose and throat, and the imagination enters the Dantian.

Exhale:

The air goes from the Dantian to the throat, and then exhales through the nostrils.

Because this was not his first time meditating, Chen Xuan entered the state instantly and felt a small fire-like warmth in his lower abdomen.

At the same time, follow your breathing and scan your whole body with your senses.

overhead.

face.

neck.

shoulders.

The chest slowly opened and closed.

Belly, a little distended and painful.

By the way, this is shit feeling, maybe I ate too much just now.

The mobile phone on my left hand is a little hot. The battery of the worn mobile phone is really not durable.

Why is my right hand so sticky? Is it the oil from my elbow just now?
My thighs are so sore and swollen.

Hiss, why is the big toe of my left foot so itchy?
In an instant, Chen Xuan lost his concentration and his thoughts began to wander.

First, I wondered if my itchy toes were due to bad socks.

Then, I thought about the embarrassing scene of heat stroke in the morning. My whole body felt like it was crawling with ants, and I felt uncomfortable everywhere.

Finally, I thought of the enthusiastic substitute sister in the infirmary.
This is a normal phenomenon in meditation. When Chen Xuan reacted, he brought his attention back to his breathing and scanned his whole body again.

As distracting thoughts faded away and his thoughts gathered together, he began to prepare for mental squats.
Imagine that your legs are slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, with your toes pointing out 10-15 degrees, after all squat preparations.

The thoughts gradually penetrate deep into the body.

Recall one by one the state of each muscle in the body when squatting and bending the hips, and everything is ready.

Start inhaling and squat!

Rectus femoris, gluteus maximus, vastus lateralis, adductor magnus, gastrocnemius, soleus, rectus abdominis, erector spinae, etc.

Or tighten and stabilize the torso.

Or contract and exert force to work.

Collaborative work.

Perhaps because of his level 3 squat skill, the action of squatting seems to have become Chen Xuan's physical instinct.

So much so that after being highly concentrated, this mental squat actually seemed like a real squat.

The contraction, tightness, and even soreness of every muscle.

Chen Xuan didn't think about it carefully, but fed it back to his heart one by one.

Even the touch of the soles of his feet and insoles, and the curse of each muscle being unable to bear his weight, he felt extremely clearly.

Exhale and get up!
Complete with a mental squat.

This feeling was very novel, and Chen Xuan continued to squat without saying a word, as if he was addicted.

In an instant, I did 36 mental squats.

Just when he was about to continue, a sudden soreness in his lower back forced him to step out of his meditative state.

This was because he was too heavy, and his waist couldn't bear it after sitting and meditating for too long with his chest raised.

However, regarding the complaint about his waist, Chen Xuan behaved like a heartless man and had no chance at all.

now.

Whether it's his eyes or his heart.

All invested in the newcomer in the attribute panel.

Oh no, it’s called New Love now.

"Trojan, great panel, I love you so much!"

At this moment, the column of free attribute points suddenly showed 0.03.

It has increased by 0.01!

而深蹲Lv.3后面的熟练度，也从（10/500）涨到了(19/500)。

36 mental squats, increased proficiency by 9 points.

This means that the benefits of 4 mental squats are equivalent to 1 real squat.

4 to 1, although it was worse than the expected 1 to 1.

However, the result of mental squat practice: effective!
There was no time to get excited.

Chen Xuan grabbed the pillow and placed it on his lower back.

Close your eyes and continue.

Liver up!
Brush skill proficiency and brush free attribute points.

"If I don't brush my free attribute points to 1 today, I won't sleep."

Chen Xuan clenched his fists and showed determination based on his experience in liver games.

however…

Perhaps the appearance of the attribute panel greatly alleviated his anxiety.

Or maybe the mind exercise he created is done through meditation, so it also has the effect of relaxing the body and mind.

So 10 minutes later.
scare--

call-

scare--

call-

The roommates came back for lunch break.

Just look at Chen Xuan sitting in the bed, leaning against the wall, tilting his head and snoring.

"I'll rub it, can you fall asleep here? But why don't you lie down and sleep?"

"Who knows, he slept so soundly. Do you think his heat stroke in the morning was fake?"

"How dare you pretend to faint in front of so many people? Are you losing face?"

"Um, I dare not."

"That's incredible."

"Shh, keep your voices down, or he'll wake up and beat you up."

"He dares? With labor and management's body and physique, okay, let's keep our voices down."

The movement suddenly died down.

Chen Xuan was not woken up. When he woke up, it was already past 3 p.m., and his roommates were going to military training again.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he hurried to his locker.

Bread, biscuits, ready-to-eat chicken drumsticks, cola, etc.

Take whatever you have and crazily stuff it into your mouth.

Hungry, extremely hungry.

He is several times hungrier than he was after adding free attribute points to his constitution in the morning.

Strictly speaking, he woke up from hunger.

After all the reserves and his two weeks' worth of snacks were consumed, the hunger finally disappeared.

His entire mental state also changed from weak to unprecedentedly comfortable.

"You ate so much in the cafeteria this morning, why were you still so hungry just now?"

Chen Xuan suspected that the reason should be the attribute panel, so after taking the last sip of his drink, he opened the attribute panel:
【Host】: Chen Xuan
[Height]: 1.98 meters

【Weight】: 192.58 kg (↑3.26)

【Power】: 1.64 (↑0.01)

【Coordination】: 0.55 (↑0.03)

【Spirit】: 0.64 (↑0.06)

【Physique】: 0.6 (↑0.03)

[Skills]: Digestion and absorption lv.max, self-weight squat lv.3 (75/500)

[Remaining life]: 48.2 years (↑3.2)

[Free attribute]: 0.05(↑0.02)

Except for his height, everything has skyrocketed.

However, there was not much excitement on Chen Xuan's face.

He even turned on his phone with a solemn expression and checked his wallet balance.

"Attributes have increased in all directions. This should be due to the existence of the attribute panel, which has increased my training benefits."

"Just one squat exercise has made me improve so much. If I were an ordinary person, if I want to improve these attributes, I would have to exercise at least a few cycles regularly."

“And me, it was just a squat workout and a night’s sleep!”

"This is not counting additional free attribute points."

Originally, this was something worthy of popping the champagne.

But Chen Xuan's trouser pocket was deflated and he wanted to cry.

The reason is simple. To manifest these attributes into his body requires energy.

The energy required for the attributes he has now improved only cost him two weeks of snack reserves, which was more than 300 yuan when converted into money.

More than 300 yuan for a meal?

It's really unfair to say one thing and another.

As for money.
Chen Xuan looked at the balance: 2188.16 yuan.

This was all the money he had at his disposal, and he couldn't ask for it from his family yet.

Because at home, grandparents need money more.

Two cancers.

hiss--

So, if you want to continue exercising, you only have enough to eat 7 meals?
Even if the food in the canteen is cheaper and I can make a few more meals, I can't make much more until I die, right?

In an instant, Chen Xuan did not dare to use the 0.05 free attribute.

After all, he originally planned to last for 2188.16 months with this 3 yuan.

"Originally, the old book was finished, and I wanted to take advantage of the military training period to take a good rest. Now it seems that I have to start a new book."

"I have a headache. What should I write about the new book?"

"Hey, what happened to me...Although the attribute panel has been written badly, it can be combined with mind training. Can I write it?"

"Write tens of thousands of words first and look at it. Don't sign it before cutting it."

"According to the current trend, I have to choose a straightforward book title, what should I do?"

"Since I am writing my own story, why not..."

“My reality plus a bit of autobiography!”

　When I saw that mindfulness exercise video, I happened to be wearing a mask and was quarantined at home.

　　I don’t have any fitness equipment at home and it’s boring, so I gave it a try.

　　As a result, when I went to the gym a month later, the barbell squat, deadlift, bench press and other weights not only did not decrease, but also increased in all directions. Can you believe it?
