FWTS Chapter 97: Daily Fitness Routine

At 4:30 PM, Hou Muyun watched Shi Shiwun and the others leave, finally letting out a sigh of relief. Fei Ning and Xiao Pang, who had been at the board game café the whole time, also exhaled deeply. They had seen the representatives from the seven other streaming platforms and knew that those people had significant funds and resources at their disposal, but none of them could compare to the last visitor, Wang Xiaochang! It was simply unreal!

Both of them felt like they had just woken up from a dream. 

“Damn!”

“Holy shit!”

“Oh my god!”

They swore a few times to get their wits back and then looked at Hou Muyun with expressions that were a mix of awe and bewilderment.

“Monkey, did you really just turn down Wang Xiaochang?”

“And you guys really decided on something worth over ten million yuan over a game of Jenga? Are you all crazy?”

“Are you seriously not going to sign with anyone?”

“Your guts are way too big, treating those eight platforms like they're nothing!”

Hou Muyun rolled his eyes. “That’s what he thought, not me! Even though I didn’t get completely dazzled by the money, it was close. I saw how eager they were, so I forced myself to stay calm. Ten million yuan! Do you think I don’t want it? But it’s just not the right time to agree to anything. I need to wait and see.”

Fei Ning scoffed, “Aren’t you afraid it might all fall apart?”

“It won’t!” Hou Muyun was confident about this. Then he rubbed his stomach. “Let’s go eat. These past few hours have been more exhausting than anything.”

They went to a nearby restaurant to eat, and then Fei Ning drove Xiao Pang home to pack his things and then to the train station. Earlier, they had talked to Shi Shiwun about Xiao Pang’s training, and Shi Shiwun arranged for Xiao Pang to be taken care of by his assistant in his studio in Shanghai, so Xiao Pang was leaving today.

After leaving the restaurant, Hou Muyun walked home, sat on the balcony for a while to think about the contract situation, then went to his study to work on his comic. Around 7 PM, he changed into workout clothes and headed to the gym. By this time, the gym had already passed its peak hours, and today, Hou Muyun would be livestreaming from there.

Many fans, who had seen the announcement about the time, had finished their dinner early and were already waiting. When Hou Muyun logged into the livestream from the gym, there were already a million viewers online.

Just a casual daily update could attract over a million viewers at any time. This was one of the reasons why various platforms were vying to sign Hou Muyun. Such drawing power was matched only by top-tier gaming streamers and first-tier celebrities, and even celebrities only livestreamed occasionally with extensive promotion. In comparison, Hou Muyun’s livestreams were usually just half an hour long!

This level of engagement justified the platforms offering him the same treatment as top-tier gaming streamers and validated Hou Muyun's strategy of holding out for the best offer.

“He’s here! Finally, you’ve arrived. Good thing I didn’t give up!”

“Has the streamer changed locations again? This time it’s not a hotel, but a... gym?”

“Hahaha, is the Casanova planning to livestream his entire process of picking up girls at the gym and then going to a hotel?”

“Meeting someone at the gym means they definitely have combat-level stamina!”

“There’s an old saying: at thirty you’re like a wolf, at forty you’re like a tiger, and at fifty you’re sucking dust off the ground. But in the gym, age doesn’t matter, it’s all about skill!”

“I see a pretty girl on the left with a nice figure. Go for it, Casanova!”

“Hehehe, you guys misunderstood the Casanova. He never takes the usual route. This time, he’s probably going for a guy!”

“Reminds me of a saying: after working out hard at the gym for three months, I’ve changed a lot. The biggest change is... I like men now!”

“Hahaha, I go to the gym just to check out muscle guys too!”

“Praying for the Casanova!”

“Am I in the wrong place? Why is everyone so dirty-minded?”

“No kidding, Hou’s streams are all about flirting and more flirting!”

“Beep, student card.”

“Beep, bus pass.”

“What’s a bus pass position?”

“The first online casino has opened!”

“...”

Seeing all the dirty comments, Hou Muyun quickly turned them off, then turned the camera towards himself and greeted everyone: “Many of you probably know that the first volume of ‘Master of Xuan Yuan Sword’ manga was released today, so you also know I’m going to advertise it. I didn’t bring the manga here, but I have thirty copies. I’ll sign them and add a sketch for the giveaway.”

Hou Muyun walked to a treadmill, placed his phone down, and started jogging while talking. “Since I’m advertising, I’ll give you guys some benefits, besides the giveaways, of course. Today, instead of showing something new or extending the stream time—though today was really busy—I won’t show anything new, but I’ll make it up later. For now, let’s do something fresh. I’ll stream my daily fitness routine. Anyone interested can join in and exercise with me. Bodyweight exercises don’t need much space.”

In the free weights area, Hou Muyun placed his phone down and started with Burpees, also known as squat thrusts. Burpees are a high-intensity, short-duration fat-burning exercise that gets the heart rate up quickly, also known as squat thrusts.

The movement is simple: squat down, kick your legs back, do a push-up, jump forward, and then jump up. Just five steps.

It looks simple, but it’s intense. Hou Muyun usually does ten reps per set, ten sets in total, with a ten-second rest between sets. This time, he did fifty reps in one go, breaking a sweat and then taking off his workout jacket, leaving just a tank top.

As soon as he took off his jacket, the stream exploded.

“Anyone who’s seen advanced push-up videos, or variations of push-ups, knows they’re challenging. I’ve been practicing them for a while and I think I’m doing okay. Today, you guys can judge. We’ll start with the simplest.”

“First, standard push-ups.”

“Second, wide push-ups.”

“Third, close push-ups, also known as tricep push-ups.”

“Fourth, diamond push-ups, with hands forming a diamond shape.”

“Fifth, staggered push-ups, with hands staggered.”

“Sixth, archer push-ups, which are like side lunges but with arms.”

“Seventh, tricep extensions.”

“Eighth, wall handstand push-ups.”

“Ninth, pseudo-planche push-ups, with hands positioned at the waist.”

“Tenth, one-arm push-ups.”
