Looking at Luo Xi snuggling and acting coquettishly in his arms, Ye Chuan reached out to ruffle her hair before asking, "Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?"
After all, this was Luo Xi’s first time being nourished by spirit liquid. It would take time for her body to fully refine and absorb it.
She’d probably get used to this kind of cultivation practice eventually.
"Mmm… no discomfort."
Luo Xi shook her head after checking herself. After absorbing the spirit liquid, she felt every cell in her body brimming with joy, as if her very soul was trembling.
Strangely enough, she didn’t feel any pain—instead, her body felt much lighter.
"Chuan Chuan."
"Hmm?"
"Muah~" Luo Xi planted a kiss on Ye Chuan’s cheek, then giggled dreamily.
"I’m so happy. Will we be together forever?"
Ye Chuan gently brushed aside the bangs on her forehead and whispered, "Mhm. As long as you cultivate with me often, eternal youth won’t be a problem."
"You’re so annoying~" Luo Xi pouted playfully.
Drowsily checking the time, she decided to stay curled up in Ye Chuan’s arms, even throwing a leg over his stomach. "Mmm, Chuan Chuan, I’m going back to sleep… I stayed up so late last night. I still have to prepare for hosting the school festival later."
"Alright."
Watching Luo Xi drift back to sleep, Ye Chuan smiled faintly. Before feeding her the spirit liquid last night, he’d also made her drink a beverage mixed with powdered Revival Pills.
The healing effect ensured that even her first cultivation session wouldn’t be painful, allowing her to fully immerse herself in the joy of it.
It was still early, but Ye Chuan wasn’t sleepy. He pulled out his phone to check the latest updates on the adventure game—
"Ghost Dorm" had now unlocked text-based adventures.
Seems the previous forced full-dive mode was just the system’s way of squeezing money out of him. The moment he had any savings, the app would get restless, scheming to empty his pockets.
Whatever.
Text adventure—start!
[Landing Point: Ghost Dorm]
[You appear in Room 444 of the dorm, with Tian Xiaotian by your side. It’s currently daytime, the safe period. You choose…]
[1. Enter Tian Xiaotian immediately]
[2. Go out to gather intel]
[3. Wait until nightfall]
Text adventures were definitely more comfortable. The dorm’s difficulty was too low anyway—hardly worth wasting time on.
For high-difficulty adventures, he’d dive in personally. For simple worlds, text mode would do.
Glancing at the options, Ye Chuan decided to wait until night.
[Night falls. Ghosts begin appearing on every floor of the dorm. As usual, you start cleansing them, but they’re even weaker than yesterday. Soon, you’ve swept them all away. You choose…]
[1. Wait until the next day]
[2. Find a way to provoke the ones sending the ghosts]
Stirring up trouble—now that’s the way.
A day without chaos just felt wrong.
[You choose to provoke them, even taunting over the broadcast: “Weaklings, not even worth a chicken!” Your actions thoroughly enrage a certain presence.]
[The “Presence” descends personally, summoning Ghost Dorm’s final boss.]
[“You’re dead, foolish mortal!” it sneers coldly. You choose…]
[1. Kneel and beg for mercy]
[2. Face your fate head-on]
Huh?
Wait, the mastermind actually showed up and called in the final boss?
Since this wasn’t a full-dive adventure, Ye Chuan couldn’t gauge the opponent’s strength accurately. But kneeling was out of the question—and with no escape option, he chose to fight.
His Primordial Immortal Body nullified all special attribute attacks. As long as this “Presence” wasn’t some physical powerhouse, it’d be no issue.
[You choose to confront the “Presence.”]
[Ghostly energy rages, howling winds tear through the air—the opponent’s power is immense!]
[Terrifying!]
[Absolutely terrifying!]
[Then you one-shot the “Presence” and the final boss.]
[You open an exit portal. Tian Xiaotian reluctantly leaves, promising to bring more gold bars next time.]
[Adventure complete. Retrievable items: 99]
[Ghost Dorm adventure concluded. World has vanished.]
Ye Chuan: ?
Huh? ↗
Wait, the enemy just got obliterated?
Guess he’s just too overpowered.
One-shot. Nothing more to say.
Swiping through his phone, Ye Chuan confirmed Ghost Dorm’s disappearance and smirked.
Well, clearing it was fine. He just wondered if Tian Xiaotian and the other survivors had returned to their own world. He was still eyeing that inheritance of hers.
Why couldn’t they be from the same world?!
The thought made his teeth ache.
After rubbing his hands together eagerly, Ye Chuan opened his inventory. His eyes lit up at the sight of a full stash of spirit essences.
Now this was satisfying.
With so many essences, he could gift some to Lilith daily—her favorability would max out in no time.
While organizing them, he also noticed a new item.
[Item: Adventure Clear Certificate]
[Proof of clearing Ghost Dorm. Exchangeable for a reward in the points store.]
Oh?
A redeemable reward?
Ye Chuan immediately opened the points store. A pop-up appeared the moment he entered.
[Detected inventory item. Exchange for reward?]
“Exchange.”
[Obtained Upgrade Card.]
[Item: Upgrade Card (Low-tier)]
[Randomly elevates a realm (usable at low tiers).]
Hmm?
Random realm upgrade?
After scrutinizing it, Ye Chuan didn’t hesitate to use it on himself.
Early use, early benefits. Late use, wait for discounts.
His cultivation speed was already fast—no point hoarding something marked for low-tier use.
Upon activation, a dice rolled on his screen, landing on [2].
[Roll: 2]
[You have reached Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.]
Ye Chuan instantly felt power surge through his body—his spiritual energy reserves seemed to double!
He’d jumped straight from mid Foundation Establishment to Great Perfection?
“This is insane… If only there were more one-time adventure worlds.” He hadn’t expected the reward to skip levels.
He then checked his phone again.
[Conditions for Crystallization met. Select breakthrough method—]
[Crystallization Pill (0/1)]
Crystallization Pill?
What was that?
Ye Chuan paused. The next realm was the Crystallization Stage—where spiritual energy condensed into crystals before forming a core for the Golden Core Stage.
He’d ask Bai Qianshuang later. She’d know more about cultivation details.
But for now, it was still early, and Luo Xi was still curled up in his arms. Burying his face in her softness, he murmured,
"Mmm… time for a nap."
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
For the sake of his unrequited love, his ex-girlfriend abandoned him at the altar, indirectly causing the death of his parents. Just when he thought his life was plunged into darkness, a clueless yet beautiful girl unexpectedly took him in. Looking back, he realized how many hidden gems had always been by his side. A childhood friend who had secretly loved him for over a decade, a stunning but socially clueless school beauty, a mischievous and playful girl who lived for chaos... His ex, filled with regret, pleaded: "I was wrong—can we go back to how things were?" Before he could respond, the girl stepped in front of Ye Shuang and coldly declared, "If you didn’t cherish him, then he’s mine now." Also known as: "After Losing My Job, I Was Picked Up by a Hidden Gem," "The School Beauty I Raised," and "Oh No, I’m Surrounded by Rich Girls."
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
