After Self-Discipline Made Me Unstoppable, My Ex-Girlfriend Regretted It in Tears - Chapter 1:

Chapter 1: Self-Discipline Makes Me Stronger, But My Girlfriend Wants to Break Up.

“Li Bai, did you hear what I just said? If we keep going like this, there’s no future for us.”

At a Western restaurant on the Bund in Magic Capital, a long-haired beauty frowned as she spoke to the man sitting across from her.

The man’s expression remained calm, as if he weren’t the one being broken up with. That indifferent reaction made the long-haired beauty feel a surge of irritation.

“Li Bai, not every campus romance can go from school uniforms to wedding dresses. I do love you, but this society is too realistic. Love alone can’t carry us forward. Besides, we’re in two different cities. You have no idea how hard it is to live in Magic Capital.”

She kept talking, one reason after another, as if trying to convince herself more than him.

Finally, she lowered her voice and said, “Li Bai, I’m tired.”

Thousands of words ultimately condensed into that single sentence.

Li Bai looked at Gao Wenying, his college girlfriend of five years, and quietly sighed in his heart.

If this had happened half a month ago, he would have felt pain, confusion, and an unwillingness to let go of everything they had built together. The memories of four years in college and one year of long-distance work would have clung tightly to him, refusing to fade.

But half a month ago, something had changed.

He had unexpectedly obtained the [Self-Discipline System].

[Indulgence only leads to downfall; self-discipline makes you stronger.]

After maintaining a strict daily routine for fifteen consecutive days, he completed the beginner mission.

The reward was extremely generous: 100,000 yuan in cash and ten free attribute points.

These attribute points could be added to his stats to enhance his physical abilities.

Li Bai had already tested it. He spent five points on stamina.

The effect was astonishing.

He used to dislike exercise and had a rather weak body. Yet after adding those five points, he could run 10 km in one breath, and even after finishing, he still felt energy left in reserve. In this state, running a half marathon would likely not be a problem.

Five points remained, and for now, Li Bai hadn’t decided how to use them.

However, what truly excited him was the 100,000 yuan cash reward.

For someone whose monthly salary was just over 6,000 yuan, this was undeniably a huge sum.

Moreover, it wasn’t a one-time reward.

Aside from occasionally releasing challenge missions, the [Self-Discipline System] also had daily check-in tasks. As long as he maintained a disciplined routine every day, he could receive 200,000 yuan in cash every month.

With this system, why would he worry about not having enough money to spend? Why would he worry about high housing prices being out of reach?

Li Bai felt that reaching the peak of life and marrying a rich and beautiful woman was only a matter of time.

Yet reality had just slapped him hard.

He had flown to Magic Capital full of excitement, even bringing the latest Apple phone as a gift for Gao Wenying. Before he could even hand it over, she had already spoken the words of breakup.

Strangely, he didn’t feel much pain at this moment.

There was regret, of course. Five years was not a short time.

But more than anything, he found it somewhat laughable.

His “career” of self-discipline had just begun, yet his girlfriend couldn’t wait any longer and was eager to step off midway.

Who would be the one crying and who would be the one laughing in the future… that remained to be seen.

“Let’s have a hug. At least we loved each other once,” Li Bai said as he opened his arms at the entrance of the restaurant.

Hearing this, Gao Wenying felt her nose sting.

As if to prove that she could let go gracefully, she turned her head slightly, then stepped forward and embraced him openly.

For some reason, the moment she held him, she vaguely sensed a change in his body.

It felt… firmer than before.

The faint, familiar scent on him stirred something deep within her. Emotions began to surge uncontrollably.

Once upon a time, this embrace had given her warmth, security, and happiness.

The school guesthouse, the dormitory during holidays, the corners of classrooms hidden from cameras… countless places had once held their sweet memories.

But after today, he would no longer belong to her.

“Wenying, does this count as a peaceful breakup?” Li Bai’s breath brushed lightly against her ear, like a soft hand tracing over her skin.

That faint touch was like a spark igniting gas.

The emotions that Gao Wenying had been holding back suddenly exploded.

She lifted her hands, cupped Li Bai’s face, and pressed her fiery red lips against his, silencing him completely.

Ten minutes later, upstairs in the restaurant, inside an old yet luxurious hotel room…

On the television, two ancient armies were clashing fiercely. Cannon fire roared, shaking the air with deafening force.

“Kill them all! Kill them all!” A female general stood tall atop the city wall, her voice tearing through the sky.

Her emotions were complicated. Her eyes narrowed, flickering between pain and determination.

An arrow struck, knocking her helmet away, and her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

The battle was intense and dragged on endlessly.

“Ah?”

Suddenly, Gao Wenying, who was watching the TV, let out a startled cry.

Li Bai had inexplicably changed the channel.

The screen switched to a wildlife program.

A small, helpless rabbit ran across the grassland. A powerful eagle suddenly tore through the sky and swooped down.

It seemed certain the rabbit would be snatched away.

But then, the sharp twang of a hunter’s crossbow echoed.

The prey was forcibly snatched back from the eagle’s claws.

The sudden reversal left Gao Wenying staring in shock.

“How can it be this strong?” she said, gripping Li Bai’s arm tightly, her voice tense.

At that moment, Li Bai’s mind surged with excitement.

Wasn’t this exactly the kind of praise a man loved to hear?

He immediately summoned the [Self-Discipline System] in his mind.

Add points!

Add them all!

Without hesitation, he poured the remaining five free attribute points entirely into strength.

In almost an instant, an invisible light swept through his body.

His skin tightened further, but this time it wasn’t contraction—it was expansion.

Muscles swelled subtly beneath the surface. His once slightly soft abdomen began to define itself, lines forming like a chessboard. Eight-pack abs became clearly visible.

All of this was happening silently, beyond Gao Wenying’s awareness.

What she could see was only the change on the television.

The hunters were no longer satisfied with cold weapons like bows and crossbows. They had switched to something far more powerful—a Barrett sniper rifle capable of taking down even African beasts.

…

“Is this ever going to stop? It’s not even dark yet, and they’re already tearing the walls apart!”

Li Sha had stayed up all night the day before, having a video meeting with overseas clients. She had planned to catch up on sleep during the day.

But just as she finally drifted off around noon, she was woken up by the pounding noise from next door.

If it had only lasted a few minutes, she might have endured it.

But the couple next door showed no intention of stopping.

The noise only grew more intense, and even her bed began to shake along with the wall.

She tossed and turned, unable to fall back asleep. Even burying herself under the blanket and covering her ears with a pillow did nothing. The shaking made her feel dizzy, as if the world were spinning.

The pounding sounds seemed to echo right beside her ears, loud enough to make her head throb.

Thinking about it, her cheeks suddenly flushed red.

She sat up and muttered to herself, “It’s been half an hour already, right? Did they take something or what? How can they last this long?”

“What a miscalculation! I shouldn’t have booked this hotel. The soundproofing is terrible. I’m blacklisting it!”

In truth, the hotel she had chosen was a five-star establishment located on the Bund of Magic Capital.

The room was luxurious, and the view outside the window—especially at night—was breathtaking.

However, the building itself had been constructed more than a century ago. It was practically a historical relic.

The brick-and-wood structure meant the soundproofing was indeed poor.

“Forget it. Since I can’t sleep, I’ll go grab something to eat. There’s no way those two can keep going from noon all the way to evening, right?”

With bloodshot eyes and a heavy, drowsy head, Li Sha slowly climbed out of bed.
