"Phew, phew, phew~"

"Spiritual liquid crystallized—I did it!"

Late at night, Lan Xiaoke ran out of her room drenched in sweat. "Ye Chuan, I broke through to the Crystallization Realm!"

"Took you long enough," Ye Chuan replied without even glancing up from the TV.

"It wasn’t slow! Qian Shuang said breaking through a major realm usually takes ten days to half a month!" Lan Xiaoke immediately retorted, hands on her hips. "I did it in just two hours. I’m amazing!"

"That’s for those without external help. You took my Supreme-Grade Crystallization Pill—if you hadn’t broken through, that would’ve been weird." Ye Chuan patted the spot next to him on the couch. "Sit down. Let me check."

Lan Xiaoke obediently sat beside him, and Ye Chuan grasped her wrist, releasing his spiritual sense to inspect her.

"Uh… is this really necessary?"

"Absolutely." After a moment, Ye Chuan confirmed that Lan Xiaoke had indeed reached the Crystallization Realm, and her foundation was surprisingly stable, with no signs of instability.

"Not bad," he remarked.

"Mm, can you really tell just by holding my hand?"

"Technically, I don’t even need to touch you to see it."

"Wha—?!" Lan Xiaoke muttered under her breath but didn’t seem unwilling.

At that moment, Ye Chuan began reviewing her status:

[Tenant: Lan Xiaoke

Strength: Early Crystallization Realm

Status: Feeling it~

Daily Yield: Spirit Crystals, high chance of obtaining ghost-type items

Daily Points Earned…]

"Hmm, decent." Ye Chuan skimmed the Points Store and noticed no changes from the previous day—likely because Lan Xiaoke’s breakthrough was too recent.

"Ye Chuan, wanna go back to the room?"

Just then, Lan Xiaoke tugged at his sleeve, her shampoo’s pleasant fragrance wafting over.

"Go back?" Ye Chuan looked at her and noticed hearts practically dancing in her eyes.

"Let’s play some games."

"Sure, let’s game for a bit."

……

By the time they finished gaming and returned to their rooms, it was almost midnight. Lan Xiaoke had already passed out—after climaxing over a dozen times in-game, she was completely spent.

Ye Chuan pulled out his phone and checked the status of each tenant.

In the room’s mini-map, a chibi version of Bai Qianshuang was meditating, Lan Xiaoke was sprawled on the bed snoring, and Ke Ning’s chibi avatar was showering under the spray.

"Everything seems fine. Good enough."

As usual, Ye Chuan waited until midnight for the system’s daily refresh.

"Time to harvest."

"Mmm…"

He immediately opened the Points Store, eager to browse the new items.

Cultivation-related…

"Huh?" His eyes landed on a surprising item.

[Item: Realm Synchronization Card (Tenant)

Allows the user to synchronize their cultivation with any tenant or vice versa. Usable up to the 10th Tier.]

"This is huge!" It seemed Bai Qianshuang’s breakthrough to the Ethereal Spirit Realm had unlocked better loot.

"Synchronize cultivation… meaning I could jump straight to Ethereal Spirit?"

That’d be skipping an entire major realm!

"Buy!"

[Insufficient Points.]

A question mark slowly formed on Ye Chuan’s face.

"Seriously?"

He checked his points balance, and at the sight of the glaring red number, he deadpanned, "Heh."

Stuck staring at a treasure he couldn’t afford.

[Point Recycling Activated]

[Convert any item into points.]

Ye Chuan noticed the recycling button in the store faintly glowing.

"……"

This felt familiar.

Had he seen this somewhere before?

But with the chance to leap to Ethereal Spirit, he tapped into the recycling function without hesitation.

His inventory was packed with items—quest rewards, loot from adventure worlds, and drops from the sunflowers at home.

"Got plenty to spare. No harm recycling some."

He sorted through his stash, realizing many low-tier combat items had gone unused due to his rapid progression.

For example, Lan Xiaoke’s assortment of illusion talismans—harmless little trinkets with no real firepower.

Ye Chuan fed the junk into the recycler.

"Bzz—" The machine on his phone hummed.

[Deconstruction Complete: +723 Points]

Not bad.

He kept dumping more.

After clearing out most of his inventory, he’d amassed a decent sum.

"That should do it." He reopened the Points Store—now the sync card was within reach.

Purchase!

Grinning, he pocketed the Realm Synchronization Card, only to remember a far better candidate.

Lilith!

Now that was a powerhouse!

Ye Chuan immediately tried using it on her.

[Target must be below the 10th Tier.]

He paused. Tenth Tier…

"Lilith’s Transcendent Tier, right? Meaning she’s way beyond that?"

Resigned, he shelved the idea of syncing with her. That left Bai Qianshuang as the only viable option.

"Qian Shuang’s at early Ethereal Spirit now. Wouldn’t using it now be a waste?"

Her cultivation speed outpaced his.

If he used it now, he’d miss out on her future growth.

"Hmm… early use means early benefits, but holding off might pay off more." After some deliberation, Ye Chuan decided to stash the card in his inventory.

He’d wait until Qian Shuang hit a plateau. For now, he actually hoped she’d skyrocket ahead, leaving him in the dust.

"Ah, feels good."

He continued browsing the Points Store. Ke Ning’s section usually had the best gear, but this time, it was just weapons.

[1. Air Cannon]

[2. Perfect-Aim Revolver]

[3. Self-Destruct Device]

……

Nothing special. These wouldn’t boost his current strength.

Next, Lilith’s Magic section offered the usual spells.

"Mm… a tickling spell?"

"Pass."

"And a spell for… wiping after using the bathroom?"

"Yikes. Hard pass."

Disappointed, he almost skipped Lan Xiaoke’s store entirely.

But since she’d just hit Crystallization, he gave it a look.

Please, no more talismans.

[1. Long-Distance Ghost Summoning Talisman]

[2. Key to the Bizarre]

[3. Nurse Outfit (Lan Xiaoke Exclusive)]

……

"Jackpot?" Spotting the Key to the Bizarre, Ye Chuan’s eyebrows shot up. This was the real deal—if it granted access to a supernatural adventure world, he could farm souls for Lilith.

"Finally! Good thing I pushed Xiaoke today."

He instantly claimed the key and, for good measure, snagged the nurse outfit too.

Could come in handy.
