"Let's go change first, we'll meet at the entrance of the swimming pool later."
Ye You smiled sweetly, her whole demeanor becoming much more animated whenever Lin Yu was mentioned.
Lang Hua nodded with a complicated expression. He turned and walked away, cursing Lin Yu over and over in his heart.
Damn it!
Why is he so popular with girls?
Can a guy with dyed hair really be this overpowered in this version?
Truly terrifying.
Maybe I should go dye my hair sometime too?
Lang Hua changed his clothes, walked out of the swimming pool, and waited outside for a bit. Ye You and Wang Yanyan soon appeared.
Both girls were fresh-faced after swimming, yet their skin looked even more fair and dewy than before.
Youth is a girl's best makeup.
That saying really holds true!
After the three met up, led by Lang Hua, they walked to a secluded spot. After steeling himself with great difficulty, Lang Hua took a deep breath, preparing to embarrass himself.
"So, here's the thing."
"I heard you both have some interest in Lin Yu, right?"
"I have some information about his preferences and such."
"Are you two interested?"
Ye You raised a slender eyebrow, looking very intrigued, and nodded saying:
"Yes, tell us about it."
"Well, if you want to hear it..."
Lang Hua raised his hand, rubbing his thumb against his index and middle fingers held together, hinting almost explicitly:
"I can't just tell you for free, right?"
"You can rest assured, I'm Lin Yu's best buddy. I know him inside out, almost like the worm in his stomach."
"The other two guys in the dorm are just surface-level friends with him; they definitely don't know him like I do."
Ye You and Wang Yanyan exchanged a glance.
Lang Hua had expected them to sneer at him disdainfully and dismiss Lin Yu as nobody special. But to his surprise, after a brief hesitation, they actually seemed agreeable and had the idea of paying for Lin Yu's information.
"Okay."
"But your information has to be useful. If it's just some common, worthless info, we won't pay for it."
Ye You reminded him.
"Don't worry about that."
Lang Hua nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he quoted the prices Lin Yu had set:
"One unique hobby or interest: 500."
"One special travel itinerary: 5000."
As Lang Hua said this, he himself felt a bit ashamed.
Honestly, you could grab any random celebrity from the entertainment industry, and their travel info and hobbies probably wouldn't be priced this high.
Lin Yu, you really dare to ask!
The two girls weren't fools either. Hearing this outrageous price, they furrowed their delicate brows. Ye You said discontentedly:
"That price is way too high!"
"Dividing it by 10 would be more like it."
"No, not a single cent less."
Lang Hua shook his head, his attitude firm, executing Lin Yu's plan word for word.
"One unique hobby for 500?"
"One special travel itinerary for 5000?"
Wang Yanyan wasn't as focused on the price. She murmured, repeating Lang Hua's previous conditions, and asked puzzledly:
"What do you mean by 'unique' about the hobbies?"
"And what makes the travel information 'special'?"
Seeing that they seemed genuinely inclined to buy the information, Lang Hua suddenly felt like the world had gone mad.
Pulling himself together, Lang Hua continued according to Lin Yu's script:
"A 'unique hobby or interest' refers to something Lin Yu really likes, loves, is super into, but is too embarrassed to talk about—a special quirk that only I know."
“It’s definitely not something like his favorite food or that he likes busty beauties—those are common knowledge, widely known preferences.”
" 'Special travel information' means where he plans to go during the holiday, how long he'll stay, what he plans to do."
"I can even help create opportunities for you to meet him alone, guaranteed exclusive intel, great value for money!"
Hearing this, the two fell silent. Just as Lang Hua thought they were still normal people and were about to reject this utterly ridiculous proposal, Ye You suddenly nodded and said:
"Deal."
These two words hit Lang Hua like a sledgehammer to the back of his head, the impact nearly making him stumble.
No way.
Are you two crazy?
You agree to such absurd terms?
What?
Is Lin Yu some kind of Tang Monk?
Will dating him grant you immortality?
Or elevate you to the ranks of celestial beings?
Lang Hua was almost at his breaking point.
"Alright then. I'll go back and organize the information, contact you later."
"Let's exchange contact info."
Lin Yu hadn't instructed what to do next. The nearly broken waves planned to just get their contact info and leave quickly.
After swapping contact info with Ye You, Lang Hua returned to the dorm with mixed feelings. Seeing Lin Yu completely absorbed in his computer game, Lang Hua pulled over a chair and sat beside him, staring intently at his profile, trying to find the reason why he was so popular with girls.
Coach!
I want to learn this.
Lin Yu felt a chill down his spine from his stare. After a few misclicks in the game, he glared at him irritably and said:
"What are you looking at?"
"Spit it out if you have something to say!"
Failing to see anything special about Lin Yu, Lang Hua helplessly put away his thoughts and said:
"The conditions you mentioned, they both agreed."
"What do we do next?"
Hearing this, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, even stopped playing the game, turned to look at Lang Hua and asked seriously:
"They both agreed?"
"One hobby for 500, one travel info for 5000?"
"They agreed to such outrageous terms?"
Lang Hua nodded. For some reason, he looked weary, as if he had suffered a great blow.
Lin Yu ignored his state, raised his hand and stroked his chin. Since those two could agree to such terms, it meant he held considerable importance in their minds.
Important enough for them to spend that much money.
But here comes the question again.
I'm not worth that much money myself!
If I had to say what valuable thing I possess, it's probably my connections with Qing Mo and Zhao She.
These strange approaches couldn't possibly be related to Zhao She, leaving only this one possibility.
Thinking it over, afraid of misunderstanding her, Lin Yu decided to do one final test.
He took Lang Hua's phone, found Ye You in the contact list, and sent a message.
A Spray of Waves: Are you there?
It's Youzi~: Yes.
A Spray of Waves: So, I've been thinking. Selling out my brother really isn't a good thing. Even though Lin Yu and I have only known each other for a few months, our relationship is already as close as brothers, like family.
A Spray of Waves: So if you want to continue the previous deal, the price has to double.
It's Youzi~: ???
It's Youzi~: Do you have any integrity at all?
It's Youzi~: Raising the price just like that?
A Spray of Waves: Just say if you're willing or not.
A Spray of Waves: And right now, I have a very good opportunity, guaranteed to give you and Lin Yu a date all to yourselves.
A Spray of Waves: Price: 50,000. Opportunity knocks but once. If interested, please place your order immediately.
It's Yuzuya~: ...
Silence fell on the other end. This request was undeniably excessive; fifty thousand yuan was not a sum most people in this world could casually toss out without a second thought.
Lin Yu hadn't expected a particularly swift reply either and was about to hand the phone back to Lang Hua, planning to be notified when there was news.
Just as Lin Yu, having dimmed the phone's screen, raised his hand to pass it to Lang Hua—and just before Lang Hua's outstretched fingers could touch it—a faint vibration sounded.
The darkened screen lit up on its own, and a transfer notification prominently appeared on the still-locked display.
From: It's Yuzuya~
Transfer Amount: 50,000.

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
