Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Morning and University
As the clock finally struck 12, anticipation surged within him.
Instantly, a system interface appeared before his eyes.
A fancy red sign-in button hovered at the center, and he couldn't wait to press it. Without hesitation, he clicked on it.
A system notification popped up.
[Congratulations to the host for signing in for the first time and receiving a legendary reward.
Note: The first sign-in has a guaranteed rare reward.
50% chance of legendary
10% chance of mythical]
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have obtained Divine Physique (Legendary).
Divine Physique (Level 1): Gradually enhances the body, improving sleep quality, charm, and overall physical and mental well-being by a small amount.]
He was ecstatic.
He hadn't expected to land a legendary reward on his very first sign-in! Although it wasn't the highest-tier reward, he was already more than satisfied.
Reading the description, he couldn't help but swing his arm in excitement.
It was exactly what he needed right now. Not only would it gradually repair his body, but it would also improve his sleep quality—essential factors for maintaining a healthy body.
It was the best reward he could have hoped for.
Although the system had already removed toxins and impurities from his body, hidden damage was still there.
Even though it wouldn't be much of a problem in the short-term, but in the long run, it could take a toll on his body and shorten his life expectancy over time.
It was similar to how professional athletes and bodybuilders often had shorter lifespans due to the extreme demands of their profession.
While they might not feel it in their youth, as they aged, various health problems would surface.
Even with top-tier healthcare, many still died prematurely.
But with Divine Physique, he no longer had to worry about hidden damage.
Especially the mental well-being buff, it was what he needed badly right now.
Although he had fully merged with his past self's memories, minor mental strain was inevitable—his mind needed time to fully assimilate.
As for the charm boost... well, he'd have to wait and see what kind of effect it had.
Charm was an abstract concept—it could be physical, intellectual, emotional, or social. Heck, it might even be a combination of all of them.
After finally calming down, exhaustion hit him like a tide.
The excitement of his first sign-in had kept him awake till now, but after everything that had happened today, he was already dead tired—both physically and mentally.
So, without further delay, he changed the bedsheets and pillows, did a quick round of dusting, and collapsed onto the bed.

At about 6 am.
Warm rays of sunshine streamed into the room, slowly illuminating every corner. And distant chirping of birds filled the air, creating a soothing symphony that blended harmoniously with the soft rustling of leaves outside the window.
Rex slowly woke from his deep slumber, feeling an incredible sense of refreshment and energy coursing through his body.
As he opened his eyes, he could feel the soft, inviting warmth of the morning sun gently touching his skin.
The room was bathed in a tranquil golden glow, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the distant, melodic chirping of birds.
He lay on the bed, savoring the serenity of the moment.
And took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh scent of the morning air, and exhaled slowly, relishing the rare moment of absolute tranquility.
He could swear this was the best sleep he had ever had in both of his lives.
It was like sleeping on a warm, comfortable bed during a rainy day—without a single care in the world.
His body felt brimming with energy, as if he could go two or three days without sleeping.
Of course, that was just a psychological feeling, not something he could, or wanted to, actually attempt.
He could sense a difference in his body, both physically and mentally.
Stretching lazily, he pondered his plan for the day. There wasn't much—just reporting to the university and, of course, studying.
He also needed to familiarize himself with this world. According to his memories, there were significant differences between this world and his previous one.
Which he gradually had to adapt to.
As he thought about it, he decided to start exercising from now on. This was a new life, and he wanted to live it to the fullest.
Exercise would not only improve his health and well-being but also enhance his looks and attractiveness.
With that in mind, he changed into a black sports outfit and headed out for a morning jog.
---
The sun had just risen, its warm rays bathing his skin in a gentle caress.
He paused for a moment, closing his eyes and soaking in the sunlight, feeling its warmth seep into his very soul. His already good mood improved further.
He curiously observed the neighborhood—he hadn't had the time to take a proper look at it until now.
It was a clean and upscale area, home to wealthy individuals and celebrities.
Naturally, the standards here were high.
The streets were spotless, the greener was lush, and the houses were elegant, a stark contrast to the urban scenery he had seen yesterday. It was screaming peace and tranquility.
After taking in the view, he started running.
At first, it was easy, and he maintained a steady pace.
But as time passed, fatigue started creeping in, and his clothes were soon soaked in sweat.
When he finally felt like he couldn't take a single step more, he stopped for a short break, breathing heavily.
Checking his phone, he was dumbfounded, he had only run just over 2 km. He could have sworn it felt like at least 5 km!
Shaking his head, he muttered, "It seems like this body needs regular training from now on, otherwise it would be such a waste of his new life"
After catching his breath, he resumed jogging.
Soon, he reached a spacious park where several people were already exercising, and some were even curiously looking at him.
Without paying them much mind, he found a relatively remote corner and began a simple workout routine—pushups, pull-ups, squats, and other basic exercises.
After exercising for a while and feeling exhausted, he called it a day, as Rome wasn't built in a day. He had to do everything step by step.

After arriving home, he took a quick shower, brushed his teeth, and changed into casual wear.
A black cotton T-shirt, washed jeans, and a pair of trusty Canverse sneakers.
A simple and classic dress which vividly highlights his youthful energy, especially in this hot weather.
Seeing himself in the mirror, he couldn't help but admire his handsome and effortlessly chic look.
Heading downstairs, he went straight to the garage.
As for having breakfast at home, well...Let's just forget it, he had a standard bachelor fridge with just water, cold drinks and beers in it.
A black Honda Civic sat quietly in the large garage which could easily fit 2,3 cars.
It was a gift from his parents on his 18th birthday.
His family wasn't extravagant, they led a simple but happy life, with all necessities readily available.
He never realized just how rich his family actually was.
He had always assumed they were wealthy but not excessively so, believing they had tens of millions.
However, after their passing, when he inherited their assets—including stocks, savings, insurance, and properties—he learned that their wealth was in the hundreds of millions.
That was an entirely different level.
And a car like the Civic was reasonable—it was a reliable first car.
Although it wasn't an expensive sports car, his previous self had cherished it deeply, especially after his parents' deaths.
He had even been reluctant to drive it.
Taking a deep breath, he got into the car and drove toward the university.
---
On the way, he stopped at a small café for breakfast, and had a simple meal of scrambled eggs, toast, a croissant, and coffee.
Nothing fancy, just a basic, satisfying breakfast.
After driving for about half an hour, he reached the university campus.
His car was already registered, so he drove straight to the parking lot.
After parking, he observed the hustle and bustle of students around him. Looking at them, he couldn't help feeling emotional, he was back in university once again.
Even though there was a major difference in his previous third-rate university and this world class university.
Just then, a system notification popped up.
Ding!
[Congratulations to the host for checking in at the university for the first time! You have received a Chevrolet Camaro.]
His eyes widened in surprise.
He hadn't expected to receive a reward for simply showing up at university.
Suppressing his excitement, as there were still people around—he hurried back to his car and opened the system interface again and immediately claimed his reward.
Ding!
[Your Chevrolet Camaro will be delivered to the university entrance shortly. Please head there to receive your vehicle.]
Seeing this his heart pounded with anticipation.
Getting out of the car, he rushed toward the front gate.
Along the way, he noticed several students stealing glances at him and whispering among themselves.
But he didn't care, as his mind was occupied by the car.
After all, this was the first car he truly owned in both lives.
It had been his dream in his past life to own a house and a car, but his circumstances had never allowed it.
Even though he already had his previous self's car and house, he still felt a bit awkward due to all the precious memories attached to them.
He had already made up his mind to buy another car, but he didn't expect the system to give him one first.
Just then, his phone rang.
It was an unknown number.
He picked up the call, and soon, a young male voice came from the other end.
"Hello, sir. Are you Rex Lee?"
"Yes, I am. Who's this?"
"Hello, Mr. Rex. My name is John. You had previously ordered a Chevrolet Camaro, and we're calling to inform you that we will soon arrive at your designated location. If you're available, could you please come to receive it?"
Hearing this, Rex clenched his fist in excitement and replied,
"No problem. I'm already at the university gate."
New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.
"Okay, sir. We'll be there in about five minutes."
Hanging up, Rex stood there waiting impatiently.
Seeing him, almost everyone passing by couldn't help but take a second look at his strikingly handsome face.
And everyone had different reactions, some were amazed, some envious, some indifferent, and some outright infatuated.
The guys mostly stared at him with barely concealed jealousy, wishing they could wipe that perfect face off the planet.
How did he know? Well, it wasn't hard to tell, one look at their gritted teeth and scowling faces said it all.
The girls, on the other hand, had completely different expressions.
Many gazed at him with fiery eyes, their eyes sparkling with undisguised excitement. Some even had hearts in their eyes, unable to conceal their infatuation and admiration.
Just then, three girls happened to walk by. The moment they laid eyes on him, they instinctively paused in their tracks...
