It had become glaringly obvious to Caelum that his stats were in some places not good enough. His weakest stat would be taken advantage of if he did not patch it up before he faced anyone that could prove to be a problem for him despite his build.
This made him really want that extra stat point, he could use that stat point to make his agility less of an issue. That would make Caelum unbeatable!
These were thoughts for later, for now, he was fine with his current stat rate which was 5 points per level.
In one place much more than others, his agility. This training regiment should improve his agility. It would improve his other stats, without doubt, his agility would increase his stat average was low at the moment due to his extremely low agility. They weren't in the negatives, but his stat average would increase.
He could not overwork his body, he was still young so that could happen if Caelum was not careful with his exercises. That is when Caelum received an epiphany, his stats should have definitions!
If this epiphany proved true this would help him to better understand himself, if he even with a system did not understand himself sufficiently he would be the laughingstock of all protagonists in the history of online novels.
He looked through his stats and thought of the stat definitions.
The definitions of the stats which were provided by the system popped up.
[Strength: Physical Might. Each point equals about 5 pounds more force.]
[Constitution: Regeneration Speed.]
[Agility: Physical Maneuverability. ]
[Perception: Quality of the Senses.]
[Intelligence: Information Comprehension Rate.]
[Charm: Physical Attractiveness.]
[Regality: Noble Aura Quality.]
All of the definitions were as he expected, all except for strength - this meant that currently, he could use about 70 pounds of force - lifting, throwing, punching, kicking... You name it he could.
Back on Earth no kid could use as much force as he could right now, Caelum would assume that the gravity was mostly the same or heavier. The people looked more or less the same as when he was back on Earth.
If kids were stronger here, Caelum did not mind a challenge.
This was music to his ears, with this he could more closely understand any future progress that Caelum made.
This also made him wonder what the stats were like for his fellow orphans. They no doubt had less strength, charm, perception...
Ok, maybe agility they surpassed him in, it was a good thing that he did not try running he would have gotten crushed by the people he said he was better than.
Then again even the person who has the most talent is not the best in everything. Only things that a person puts the time in can they master. You can try to swing a sword, it may not be until you have swung it ten thousand times do you hit your mark.
His plan for exercise was going to be grueling, and he was going to want to quit. His plan was to get a treadmill, he would more than likely be able to find a treadmill in the system shop with everything else it had.
He would be able to afford it if by the next time his birthday swung around and he got a gold coin he should be able to buy the treadmill which Caelum would be able to use to train.
If he could not buy a treadmill, he would do laps back and forth it was not a big deal. Running is going from one place to another, a treadmill was convenient in the way that it kept you in the same place so you did not really need to change your position you just had to move your damn legs!
What was not convenient was waiting to see if the people that Miss Vaile reported to would do anything. Would they act?
If they did anything while his strength was still largely lacking then he would be dead before he could say shit!
This issue caused Caelum to be anxious, anyone else would be too. He could not change what he did, and if he could he would do the same thing he did before.
He was not going to held captive, nor was he going to stay in this shitshow of an orphanage. Caelum could bare being here until anyone here created issues for him. When they did only then would he leave.
Orphans did not need to pay rent, another huge advantage that orphans had was that you can not use the family to get to the orphan. If the orphan was an issue you had to deal with them yourself and this made Caelum in a way happy to be an orphan. They could not scheme to Mount Tai.
The shitty food, management, and board are amongst the cons.
Within the next three years, Caelum would not make any more enemies, and he would keep to himself like he usually did. If he did he would not create more problems.
The ideas for training himself that Caelum had that would strain his young body that had yet to completely develop would be held off for a while. He would avoid crippling himself, that would make him quite the idiot if he did. His body with his strength stat of 14 should handle the strain his bodyweight training would have.
He would meditate when he woke up - solidify his plans until it was time to eat. Followed by stretching, then his exercises. Sleep then all of that would be repeated the very next day.
First, Pushups. Second, Pullups. Third Burpees. Caelum would delay utilizing the weights until he was a few years older. Until was is absolutely certain his body can handle the weights he would just stick to using his body weight.
He would keep this process up, for this would be his agenda for the next three years. Unless something came up Caelum would use the time that he has wisely done just this and nothing that differed from this. From the fourth year on he would use the weights to get in some training for a year before the tournament for geniuses that Miss Vaile had mentioned would begin.
Then when it came to stat points he would gain the strength he required from Action Growth, he would save up any stat points that he gained within the three years of training for the day the fourth year began.
It was time for him to hop out of the well!
