Goddess Cultivation Plan

After taking the medicine and lying on the bed, Lin Jin was drifting off to sleep when she suddenly heard a conversation between Wu Min and Wen Xuan.

"Want to go for a run?"

"I'm not going" replied Wen Xuan, who was always a homebody. Despite being skinny, he never had the habit of running, not even in physical education classes where he would always walk slowly.

"Well, I'll go by myself then."

Soon after, Lin Jin heard the rustling sound of Wu Min changing into sportswear.

"Um..." She turned over and looked with bleary eyes at Wu Min under the bed, asking weakly, "Going for a run?"

"Yeah, what is it?" Wu Min looked up at Lin Jin. "What do you want me to bring for you?"

"When I feel better, I'll join you too." Lin Jin pulled the blanket up, covering her neck entirely, as the pain in her lower abdomen intensified.

Lin Jin had long planned to start running and exercising after some time. Her body used to be in good shape, but the system had messed it up with some kind of feminization transformation, causing her heart to race even when climbing stairs. If she didn't start exercising soon, she might end up becoming the next Lin Daiyu.

"Then rest well now. If you still feel unwell tomorrow, I'll accompany you to the infirmary."

"Okay."

Lin Jin suddenly felt something unusual in her heart. She glanced at her phone lying beside the pillow, as if there was a telepathic connection with the black cat. The phone screen suddenly lit up, displaying a temporary task on the screensaver.

"No way?" Lin Jin grabbed the phone with a displeased expression. "They're still bothering me when I'm in this state?"

"This is ridiculous." After complaining, she read through the description of the temporary task. Her eyebrows furrowed sharply, and she called out to Wu Min, who was about to leave. "Wait! I'm coming too!"

"What?" Wu Min doubted if he misheard something, his face filled with disbelief. "You have a fever and you still want to go?"

Lin Jin quickly got out of bed. Although she still felt unwell, she believed that even if his body couldn't handle it, she had to complete this task.

"I have a fever, so I want to run and sweat a little" Lin Jin said while putting on her shoes, looking up. "I'll just go for a short run, it won't be a problem. If I lie in bed any longer, my bones will rust."

"You do you" Wen Xuan shrugged. "If you don't do anything reckless, you won't die."

"It's none of your business, you're not going anyway" Lin Jin looked up and glared at him, then finished putting on her shoes and walked over to Wu Min's side. "Let's go!"

"But..."

Seeing Wu Min hesitating, Lin Jin simply pushed him from behind, urging him towards the door. "Why are you so indecisive? I know my body better than anyone."

"Alright, alright" Wu Min surrendered with raised hands, and could only advise him gently, "Just go for a walk, sweat a bit by doing a few laps, then come back, take a shower, and get some rest. You should feel better tomorrow."

"I know, I know" Lin Jin stood behind him, furrowing her brow and clutching her painful abdomen, but still using her usual cheerful voice. "Do you think I don't know my own body?"

If it wasn't for the task, who would want to go for a run while having a fever... Damn it, why does it keep getting worse?

As they reached the playground, there weren't many students exercising due to the gradually colder weather, especially during the nighttime. The playground was now not only chillingly cold, but several of the streetlights were also broken, leaving only one functioning at the entrance. Standing at the entrance, Lin Jin glanced inside and could barely make out the faint lights of one or two mobile phones in the pitch-black darkness.

"I'll go for a run first." Wu Min lightly jumped in place twice, then walked onto the track and started jogging slowly, gradually disappearing into the darkness.

Without any reason, Lin Jin suddenly felt a chill and rubbed the goosebumps on her arms. Without much thought, she also began jogging.

Although her body felt weak, almost unable to walk, Lin Jin didn't find running as difficult as she had imagined.

Instead, she felt light and airy, as if she were walking on clouds. At that moment, Lin Jin remembered the temporary task she had received in the dormitory earlier.

Temporary Task: Exercise your body!

You seem dissatisfied with your increasingly weak physique, so I'm giving you this task to exercise and strengthen your body, yeah. But you have to go with your roommate and complete three laps within half an hour.

Reward: Transforming Wig [A high-tech wig that can change hairstyles according to your mood.]

Punishment: Get "X"ed by all the guys in the entire dormitory.

This task is quite simple. The previous Lin Jin would casually jog one lap in five minutes, so running three laps, roughly one kilometer, is no big deal at all. Even though her body is currently in poor condition and she has a fever, in order to avoid punishment, Lin Jin feels she should put in a little effort. As for the reward, she has no interest whatsoever. A wig, even one with a touch of science fiction, doesn't appeal to them at all.

With her determination, even if she couldn't bear it anymore, Lin Jin was certain she could still complete three laps.

Filled with confidence, Lin Jin quickly finished one lap and glanced at the phone in her hand, realizing that only four minutes had passed.

However, her body was already exhausted, her feet became heavy, her feverish head felt even more sluggish, and the pain in her lower abdomen intensified. Even breathing felt like a sore throat due to the fever.

"Lin Jin, why are you running?" Wu Min jogged leisurely to Lin Jin's side, tilting his head with concern. "Didn't I tell you to just walk two laps?"

Lin Jin's ears were buzzing. Although she heard a voice, she couldn't distinguish who it was. She glanced at the person with her eyes, shook her head forcefully, and made her blurry vision slightly clearer. It was then that she finally recognized that it was Wu Min running alongside her.

"It's... nothing."

Just as she uttered a few words, Lin Jin's breathing started to struggle to keep up.

"Well, you can run at your own pace."

After saying that, Wu Min picked up the pace and ran ahead.

They continued running, even though her body couldn't take it anymore. But Lin Jin felt that even if she collapsed from exhaustion, it would still be better than enduring the punishment of being "X"ed by all the guys in the entire dormitory.

Her head grew increasingly hazy, and her footsteps slowed down. Lin Jin unconsciously transitioned from jogging to slowly walking. The soles of her feet ached to the point of almost going numb, and her lower abdomen throbbed, leaving her with little sensation in their stomach. She even noticed that her pants seemed to be soaked with sweat, with her underwear sticking uncomfortably against her buttocks.

"It's so uncomfortable..."

But even in such discomfort, Lin Jin dared not stop her steps. She could only wait for the vibration of the phone tightly held in her palm before allowing herself to pause.

Her running became dazed, and Lin Jin finally experienced the awaited vibration of the phone. Instantly, a sense of relief washed over her. Her tense body immediately relaxed, and then her legs went weak, collapsing directly onto the track.

Will my face get bruised from the fall? That last thought flashed through Lin Jin's mind, before plunging into a period of darkness, uncertain how long it would last.
