Male gods start with attribute point allocation

Chapter 2 Ah—I finally made it to the top!

The next day.

After finishing his work in the morning, Chen Mo asked his supervisor for half a day off.

Let them deduct money if they want. Compared to improving my appearance, this is money I'm spending on cosmetic procedures.

The mountain climbing location he chose this time was not far from Jiangcheng, only half an hour away, and it was also a relatively famous place in the country and quite popular online.

Because of the beautiful scenery along the way, the challenge is also quite great. The entire route is 10 kilometers long with an elevation gain of 1300 meters, and you can even win a medal, making it very popular among hikers.

Even though it was such a place, he, as a local, had never climbed it even once.

If it weren't for this system task, he probably wouldn't have come even once.

Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the scenic area.

It's Friday today, and there aren't many people around. Apart from some elderly people, there are very few young people.

The person in charge of the scenic area was an acquaintance of his, a primary school classmate.

So when I heard he was going to climb the mountain, I was a little surprised and couldn't help but tease him, "You might have a hard time climbing it, don't die of exhaustion halfway up."

"roll."

Chen Mo naturally rolled his eyes at him, indicating that he was invincible!

So he started from the scenic area and began hiking up the mountain.

As for mountaineering equipment...

Last night, while browsing, he unconsciously started scrolling through Douyin (TikTok), and as a result, he didn't buy anything.

At that moment, he could only buy a hiking stick for 20 yuan at the foot of the mountain.

Compared to other people who came to climb the mountain, he felt that he was traveling light.

After all, they didn't even bring a bottle of water, let alone themselves.

Soon Chen Mo entered a forest path in the mountains.

The journey was very relaxed.

He looked at the lush forest in front of him, watched the wild monkeys, listened to the various birdsongs around him, took a deep breath, and felt the fresh air that he couldn't find in the city.

"Awesome! I should have come to climb the mountain sooner."

Looking up at the summit of my destination again, it looks far away, but I guess it's not that far off.

After all, it's only a 1300-meter climb, how tiring could it be?

trivial.

But he soon realized he had been too happy.

After getting past the initial flat section, and having climbed for less than half an hour, he already felt his legs getting tired.

"Damn, am I really that weak?"

"No way."

It's okay, the system doesn't have a time limit, you can just climb up slowly on your own.

Half an hour later.

Chen Mo stood there, leaning on his trekking pole, panting heavily, and couldn't help but start to doubt himself.

"Although I rarely exercise, I was a 1000-meter runner back in my school days."

"Could I be suffering from altitude sickness?"

"But this is nothing! Altitude sickness at 700 meters? People would laugh themselves to death if they told them."

"Hmm, it must be that my body hasn't adjusted yet. It'll be fine in a little while."

Unconvinced, Chen Mo continued climbing after resting for a short while.

Two hours later.

He had only climbed less than halfway when he collapsed onto the ground, exhausted. His heart was pounding, and his t-shirt was soaked with sweat.

I was both tired and thirsty.

Chen Mo looked at the still distant mountaintop, speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but start cursing himself.

"Ugh, I'm such an idiot, suffering like this just for a bit of good looks."

"The system only told me to climb a mountain, but it didn't say what kind of mountain it was. Why didn't I choose a shorter, simpler one?"

"I don't know where I got the confidence to choose the highest mountain."

Before climbing, he was incredibly stubborn.

After climbing, it behaved itself.

If he weren't currently stuck halfway up the mountain and had no choice but to grit his teeth and climb upwards, Chen Mo would have preferred to forgo the reward and go back.

Isn't it better to just drink soda, lie at home scrolling through your phone, and play games?

That's something no human being would do.

Despite his complaints, Chen Mo rested for about ten minutes, but still had to set off again, leaning on his trekking poles.

This mountain road is like life; there's no going back.

However, as the mountain became steeper, the strain on his legs and the enormous physical exertion caused Chen Mo to slow down more and more.

Four hours later.

He finally reached the last kilometer of the despair slope.

It's too steep!

Chen Mo looked on, his eyes filled with genuine despair!

He felt a slight cramp in both legs.

After that, my knee joints would hurt with every step I took.

To alleviate the pain, he had to use both his hands and feet, switching from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive, and climb up little by little.

He vowed that he would never climb this broken mountain again in his life!

Anyone who wants to climb, can climb!

As for the scenery along the way, he's in no mood to appreciate it now.

At this moment, a group of elderly men and women had finished climbing and were walking back down from the top.

Chen Mo: "..."

Are elderly people this strong nowadays?

Seeing Chen Mo's disheveled appearance, they couldn't help but stop and have a friendly chat with him.

"Keep going, young man, there are only 800 meters left to reach the destination."

"Is climbing a mountain really that tiring? How come your physical fitness is worse than ours, even though you're a young person?"

"Young man, it's obvious you don't exercise much."

"Yes, young people should spend less time sitting in the office and less time on their phones. They should go hiking more often; it's good for their health."

Chen Mo: "..."

Uh, I never expected to be looked down upon by a group of old people.

However, seeing that the other person was walking briskly and seemed completely unharmed, he couldn't get angry.

Because that's the truth.

"It's okay, it's okay, there are only 800 meters left."

Chen Mo kept reassuring himself and persevered, climbing up step by step.

Damn it, really, every step I take now is torture.

He really wanted to just lie there and not move.

He felt like his legs were going to give out if he climbed any further.

As he crawled, he felt his whole body go numb, and his legs would tremble uncontrollably even when he was just standing.

Five hours later.

When it came to the last 200 meters, Chen Mo felt as heavy as lead.

One of his legs had started to cramp, and he needed to rest for more than ten minutes every few meters.

It's so painful.

Chen Mo had never felt this way before; he felt like he was about to die.

Both mentally and physically, I have reached my limit.

I really want to give up!

Before starting, I thought I had chosen the easiest task, but because of my blind confidence, I ended up making it the most difficult one.

courage?

This definitely requires immense courage!

Looking at the mountaintop so close at hand, Chen Mo struggled to support himself again, gritted his teeth, grabbed the iron chain beside him, and walked forward.

It took him an hour to walk the last 800 meters.

In the end, Chen Mo successfully reached the summit.

He climbed for more than five hours, from around 12 noon to around 6 pm.

As he leaned against the railing of the glass walkway, looking down at the unobstructed view of the mountains and rivers below, his feelings were somewhat complicated.

There is a feeling that cannot be described in words.

Although he was physically exhausted and his feet ached, Chen Mo felt an unprecedented sense of ease and accomplishment.

Suddenly, I felt that the landscape before me looked better than before.

He couldn't help but shout.

"Ah—I finally made it to the top!"

At that moment, the system's voice sounded.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission and receiving the following rewards: Appearance +0.5, Health +1, Courage +200.]

My own attribute panel also popped up randomly.

Appearance: 67.5 (Average)

[Health: 56 (Sub-health)]

System Level: Lv1 (200/10000)

As the system's rewards were distributed, Chen Mo felt that his body seemed to have improved somewhat.

But I'm still very tired, and my feet and legs hurt a lot.

He turned around, sat down on the ground, and could no longer hold on. He simply lay down on the ground, not wanting to move at all, and looked up at the sky.

It turns out the sky didn't suddenly turn dark; rather, it changed from orange-red to pinkish-purple, then to deep blue, and finally to navy blue...

Chen Mo was so tired that he didn't know how long he had been lying there until the manager came over.

"Young man, the park is about to close. If you don't leave now, you'll miss the last bus down the mountain and will have to spend the night on the mountain."

"Oh." Upon hearing this, Chen Mo struggled to get up.

Perhaps it's because the system rewarded me with health attributes, or perhaps I rested long enough this time, but walking didn't hurt as much as it did at the beginning.

However, he knew very well that the most difficult time would probably be the next two days.

Having not exercised for a long time, after all this exertion today, I wonder how much my muscles will ache when I wake up tomorrow!
