Chapter 8: Every Fatty is a Diamond in the Rough
Translator: Little_Dragon_ Editor: TheSloth
Recently there was a trend of filming patriotic dramas. The temporary actors at Heng Dian were most likely to be the invader armies.
B-Dog’s live broadcast room had new content the next day. He acted as an invading soldier who flirted with a girl. Except, that fatty last time, once he washed away the dirt, could no longer hide his charm.
He stood in between the imperial armies but his charm had outstood the main lead of hero. Coincidentally the acting skills of the hero were not good enough as well, not comparable to B-Dog’s LV3 professional acting skill. Even the director could not stand it. He approached B-Dog and had a thorough check of his body, then patted his fat belly and advised him, “Young kid, lose some weight, you could even become a supporting role.” He did not talk about becoming the next Wang BaoQiang, those were all lies.

B-Dog smiled, but in his heart, he had accepted it.
Heaven would never seal off all the exits, there would always be a way out.
After the hard training for a week, he successfully lost 4 kilograms again. He was now 100.5 kilograms. Surprisingly his height increased 1 centimeter at this age. Later, he learned the new skill of rock climbing and flying knives, some wilderness survival skills, and emergency medical knowledge. However, he did not learn a lot of jungle hunting skills. He was still missing the hunting skill prize at Grade S.

“Ding!”
“Congratulations to Master, your Flying Knife (B) skill has leveled up to LV4 (1/10000).”
B-Dog felt relieved and rubbed his sore arms. This was his first skill that leveled up to level 4, and it was a system certified Grade B skill. This proved that this skill had strong potential.
The Flying Knife skill was not easy to train, there were two categories for normal flying knives, those which were straight and those which were spinning. Each had a different method.
For the straight blade, just as the name implies, hold the blade and throw it out in a straight direction at 90 degrees. The force normally came from the arm or the wrist. The motion of using the arm was slightly bigger, and based on the difference in distance, the arm, and the wrist would form a different angle.
The specialty of using wrist was the smaller motion. The strength was formed by the arm and wrist and the throwing was controlled by the forefinger. There were no limitations to the distance and it depended on one’s abilities as to how far it could be thrown. On the internet videos, there was a record of 11 meters overseas and 8 meters locally.
The spinning blade was harder. If there was no harsh training, it was not possible to cross the threshold. It took time and effort. He most probably would not cross the threshold without the assistance of the system.
At the beginning of LV1, you have to hit the target located at 3 meters away. Then the proficiency would improve. The hit rate was approximately 10%.
At LV2, you had to hit a stationary target at 5 meters far. The hit rate would be 15%. To level up to LV3, you had to hit the stationary target at 10 meters, only then would it be considered as a success and the proficiency would increase by 1 point. Although the difficulty was increased, the hit rate had increased to 20%.
At LV4, you had to hit the target at 20 meters away, it was similar to a handgun. Luckily the hit rate was approximately 25%. Sometimes if you were lucky, you could hit the target consecutively. This powerful characteristic as a result of leveling up made it deserved to be called as Grade B skill.
However, when the skill was leveled up to level 4, the demand for strength was increased with every blade thrown out. Just a few try and his arms were numb.
The legend of “Xiao Li With The Flying Knife” was beautiful but, after all, it was a fantasy novel.
Sometimes, he noticed that he had 5 more skill points and would consider adding to the skill. However, he stopped himself. He was clueless as to the source of skill points but he played enough games and knew that the skill points would be more valuable later.
…
He was trained harshly this week. Energy training, speed training, stamina training and skill training, he made himself fully occupied in each training session. When he got back home, he felt too tired to move. The wondrous thing was he would regain energy the next day after a good sleep. He queried the system and it told him that he had undergone the high technology electrotherapy and physiotherapy technology when he fell asleep.
However, this technology was harmful to the user’s body. There was special indication of this technology in the future world, it mentioned that this technology could not be used over a long period of time. It was lucky that young people had a strong body, a high rate of metabolism, and the recovery power was at its peak. Hence, this damage could be balanced off by the benefits but he needed to take good care in future.
It was the first time B-Dog felt that Intelligent Terminal had some humanity. It could make decisions by itself. B -Dog asked, “How about I give you a name?”
“Master, please grant me a name.”
“Well, let me think. My name is B-Dog, and yours would be… Dog Egg, how is it?”

“… Master is naming ‘Dog Egg’, is it confirmed?”
The ball was showing a cute expression in grief, B-Dog was looking at it happily, he patted his leg and laughed, “Confirm, definitely confirm. B-Dog and Dog Egg, perfect match.”
The increase of the skill level would increase his body’s attributes. For example, when the rock climbing skill was leveled up to Lv3, his agility increased 0.3 points. When the swimming skill improved to Lv3, his physical, stamina, agility and willpower were all slightly upgraded. When the long-distance running reached Lv3, the increase in attributes was about the same.
Besides, he had activated “sprint” skill and “horse riding” skill. Unexpectedly, they were Grade C skills as certified by the system. Coincidentally, he rode a bike once and then successfully activated the horse riding skill. The riding skill granted by the system was not only applicable to the bike.
On the entire skill panel, only the driving skill remained at LV1. He drove a car during his driving test and after that, he did not touch it anymore.
This week, he had lost 8 kilograms; his weight had reached 92.5 kilograms and height of 183.5cm. This figure could not be considered as obese but still a little bit of clumsy. If he took his t-shirt off, you could even see the going-to-be-six-packs on his belly.
Taking a photo as usual, posted on Weibo.
He posted new things every day and his result of losing weight was very obvious. Plus, since he advertised in the live broadcast room, the number of followers in his Weibo account had exceeded twenty thousand people. People were more than willing to see him lose some weight each day. As expected, just after posted, he attracted many attentions, “Lord B-Dog is very handsome!”
“Every fatty is a diamond in the rough. Now I believe it!”
“It must be Photoshop, no way to lose weight like this. No point for me to eat diet pills then!”
“Lose 17.5 kilograms in three weeks, you are indeed the role model of motivation!”
“Handsome, could you share the secret tips on losing weight?”
“The thing that makes us lose hope is that you look different every day, I was watching you transform from a fatty loser to a tall, rich, and handsome man. Such jealously. Hate it!”
“The most abnormal thing is you have increased your height by 2 centimeters in three weeks time? I have never heard that people can grow taller after 24 years old. Tell us frankly, what have you eaten?”
…
In the live broadcast room of Chen B-Dog , it was already 10 o’ clock. The morning training time had passed. According to the usual routine, it was supposed to be empty now, but unexpectedly there were twenty thousand of audiences gathered here today waiting for a guy to show up.
At 10 o’clock, the broadcasting started on time. Someone wearing a professional skiing suit and ski helmet with ski goggles stepped onto the skiing boards. He held the ski pole and also a face guard, hand gloves, knee guards, hip pads, and other safety equipment. The professional looking guy was smiling at the camera. He greeted, “Hi guys, sorry to keep you waiting! As agreed, we have come to the NanShan Ski Park located in the suburbs of Beijing, ready to bring the outdoor live broadcast to every one of you.
“Okay, you are very punctual.”
“Ten minutes of waiting is worth it.”
“B-Dog, you didn’t broadcast today morning. Are you being lazy?”
“Finally the live broadcast has started, I saw the headline saying today will come to Beijing to ski. B-Dog, are you changing the location from Heng Dian to Beijing? Could we meet up?”
