The New Lincoln Loud

Chapter 12: chapter 11



When I returned home with my dad, carrying the new weights we bought, I was excited to see how much faster I would gain muscle with these and quickly went to the backyard to start working out. Seeing me excited to work out and curious of the equipment we bought, Lana also went with me to the backyard, even Lynn looked at my back with spectating eyes as if she wanted to say something, but something stopped her.

Accompanied by my father, who also decided to start exercising, despite not having much free time in the week, dad said he would try to find time every day to exercise, or if not possible, at least exercise on weekends to maintain his health, I realized it was more of a way to get closer to us, which I did not expose, and was happy with what I was doing.

As soon as I started working out with the equipment, I didn't notice much difference but in a few minutes I was surprised by a notification that appeared in front of me.

[Bodybuilding Lv13→14 (I don't remember the level, it was Lv13 wasn't it?)

Effect: when doing weight training, your muscles develop 14% faster and your body gets tired 14% slower].

My bodybuilding skill leveled up in much less time than I had when I trained yesterday! Out of curiosity, I grabbed my phone and opened an explanation of a workout that a personal trainer had posted on MeTubee I tried to do the workout exactly as he was instructing, and not surprisingly, my bodybuilding level increased even faster.

Lana and my father were curious about the workout I was doing, so I started to explain to them what routines I had chosen and how each exercise should be done and, due to my teaching ability, they were learning everything faster than they would have if they were doing it alone, due to Lana's age, I still avoided having her do any weight training and concentrated on the calisthenics workout.

After 20 minutes, Lana was exhausted and went to take a shower, my father stayed another 15 minutes after Lana and also left exhausted, leaving me alone, still working out, every few minutes I received a notification.

[+1 STR]

[+1CON]

[Bodybuilding lv14→15]

[Bodybuilding lv15→16]

Due to the possible player body I received with the system, the rate at which I was gaining stats with each set of reps I did was increasing a lot. Of course, this was also because I was increasing the weight I lifted each time my STR went up a point, which made me demand more of my body, and consequently, increased the speed at which I would receive another STR point.

When I had an hour of training, I was surprised to see who was walking through the backyard gate.

"Lori?" I asked in surprise, noticing the workout clothes she was wearing.

"Do you still have time to work out with me?" She asked, a little embarrassed.

Smiling, I greeted her and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Looking at the equipment strewn on the floor, she was a little lost, turning her gaze to me, I noticed she was looking at the muscles starting to appear on my arms with mild surprise.

----------Lori Comment--------------

Sitting on the interview couch, Lori was still in her workout clothes as she looked at the camera with her surprise.

"Is it possible to build muscle in just one week of training? Before he trained with just his body weight, without any training equipment, and just today he picked up a weight for the first time, and while wearing his tank top I could see that his arms were getting a little more defined!" She said with surprise as she shifted her gaze to her own slender arms.

"I know I train a lot this week, but even as scrawny as he was, you could see muscle starting to form on his body!" She exclaimed still in shock.

--------End Comment--------------

As I watched her look at my arm, I realized that from exercising my arms for over an hour, the pump I was getting was very visible, which gave me a little pride, until I looked back at her, waiting for her response.

After thinking for a while, Lori finally replied, " I've been wanting to exercise my legs, but I still don't know what exercise to do, do you know what I can do?"

Thinking a bit, it occurred to me to show her my taekwondo, but I quickly dismissed it, for a normal person to use it she would have to go through training that borders on torture, so I thought about calisthenics exercises she could do, but it would be a huge waste of the equipment my dad bought to put her through exercises that didn't replicate that, so I was honest, "I know of some exercises that might help, but. Let me do a little research first and I can find the best exercise for you, wait a minute."

As soon as I said that, I put the weights back on the floor and looked up on the cell phone some exercises to train my legs, with my level 17 in bodybuilding, I could understand the exercises a little easier and started to explain her what to do: go with squats using a weighted barbell and the other exercises that the list recommended me.

Even though Lori was very beautiful, I didn't look at her with sexual tension, of course I realized she was pretty, but I avoided looking at her while doing squats, this was something she probably noticed too, since at first she was embarrassed to do squats next to me, but after realizing that I was just focusing on my workout and sometimes looking at her just to check if I was doing the exercise correctly, she started squatting more nonchalantly and focused more on the exercises doing the exercise correctly, even if she was in a more suggestive position sometimes.

Every time she finished doing an exercise, she would ask me what to do next, and I would patiently explain it to her, which continued to raise the level of my teaching skill.

[Teaching Lv15

Effect: when teaching others, as long as you know what you are teaching, they have a 15% better chance of understanding what you are explaining].

Buff's 15% in how he would understand the exercise was very good, as he made fewer mistakes in posture and execution, which made our training have a very relaxing atmosphere.

We spent most of the time in silence, just me doing my exercises and pushing my body to the limit, while occasionally helping her with something she had questions about or correcting in her posture she was using.

After 40 minutes she was exhausted and stopped exercising.

"How are you not tired yet?" she asked, shocked and panting as she lay down on the grass.

"I'm young I guess, I have a lot of energy haha" she said as she tried her best to get to the tenth repetition of the exercise.

I was also exhausted, but watching the points increase as the training progressed was very addictive, I still wanted to get my [STR] up one more point before the end of the training.

"Young? I'm not much older than you" she said confused.

Seeing her condition, I explained "I am in a developmental stage, children need energy to develop their body, which is constantly changing, you are almost to your final stage of development." I said as I laughed and lowered the weight I was lifting.

(I just made that up, I don't know if it's true, but I remember hearing something about that).

[+1 STR]

with the notification in front of me, I finally dropped my body on the grass next to Lori and took a deep breath.

Lori and I sat in silence for a few more minutes while she rested until she got up and went to take a shower first. Knowing she would take some time in the bathroom, I continued lying on the grass and pulled out my cell phone to check how many views my video had.

Ronnie-numb (2,766 views)

Seeing that the video had more than doubled the number of views since I last watched it about 3 hours ago, I was surprised and went to analyze in channel analytics. Of these 2,766 views, 2,307 were coming from external links like Saber's tweets and other influencers did in tweets as well as the girl who promoted the song on instaFlan, the rest of the views were coming from promotions MeTube had started doing. This meant that now the music could really start to grow at a limitless speed!

Looking at the door Lori walked through, I quickly thought of something, opening instaFlan, I quickly found her profile and opened the stories she posted.

Surprisingly, one of the stories was her promoting my music!

With a smile on my face, I liked her stories and responded with a "thank you".

But the next story left me a little surprised, it was a picture of her taken from the bathroom mirror with a message.

[Today I started working out with my brother, he's the best personal trainer I've seen out there, I think I'm starting to like working out].

Seeing this compliment from her, even though no one would believe that her socially withdrawn younger brother like me would know how to workout and would probably take it as a tease, it still warmed my heart, as I knew she was speaking very sincerely.

Upon checking his profile, I noticed that the my profile currently had 90 followers on instaFlam! On this social network, this profile only had one profile picture with the logo I had created, so I thought of a good strategy to grow my audience and accelerate the growth of my popularity.

Now feeling more rested, I got up from the grass and started to arrange the training gear in a more aesthetically pleasing way to the views in the backyard and took a photo with the night sky in the background, as the quality of my cell phone was not good , the photo was not as good as I imagined, but since I had the system, I had an easier way to solve this.

Opening tutorials on how to edit photos to make the quality more beautiful and have a cooler aesthetic, I spent 40 minutes learning as much as possible and finally got the photo to look really great after getting a new skill.

[Photo Editing Lv3]

Although this skill was still at a low level, it was much better than posting the photo without any editing, so I posted it with a caption.

(Thanks to all of you who listened to my song "Numb", liked the video and commented, know that seeing your comments makes me deeply happy and motivates me more and more to follow my dream).

Was this my dream before I came to this world? No. But the merger I had with Lincoln was affecting me in some way, one of those things is the great desire I had to reach out to positively influence people with his actions, even though I could use other means to influence people I chose music first, I could do more things in the future. And even though the lyrics of the song were not mine, seeing people's reactions to the song, seeing how I was slightly influencing people's lives, was something that really made me very happy.

I would even be able to improve my songwriting skills and compose my own songs in the future, as well as using songs that already existed in my previous world.... But all this, this change that is happening in my life....

I hope Lincoln is satisfied, our life is only going to get better from now on. I thought as I smiled looking up at the stars in the night sky.
