In the adjacent private room.
Mo Shangying, who had been prepared to reveal her true appearance, sat back down again. The two girls in this room were just as deeply shocked as those at the scene.
Mo Shangying and Ye Mengfu stared at each other for a long time. Neither spoke.
Finally, Mo Shangying broke the silence with a question:
"So Sister Weiwei is really Master's disciple too!"
"Why does Master keep taking on disciples everywhere?"
Ye Mengfu shook her head: "..."
She had no idea about Xia Yiwei's situation. But when Mo Shangying "became a disciple," she had witnessed it firsthand.
Could they blame Lin Yu for constantly accepting disciples?
It was entirely because Ying'er had insisted on becoming one!
Mo Shangying pondered for a moment before asking another question:
"Master is also a martial arts grandmaster?"
Ye Mengfu shook her head again: "..."
Mo Shangying: "Did she misspeak? Shouldn’t it be a foot massage master instead?"
Ye Mengfu was utterly stunned: "???"
Regardless, the crisis of their identities being exposed had been temporarily resolved.
Mo Shangying resumed what she had been doing earlier, speaking into her earpiece:
"Master, you go ahead with your business. I’ll explain everything to you slowly."
"This time, I’ll give you all the details about Xia Xiashan."
"Use whatever you can, and later, tell me and Little Fufu about it too."
"Is Sister Weiwei my senior or junior disciple? Hehehe!"
......
At the accident scene.
Lin Yu finally let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
How he would handle the aftermath with the fishnet-clad nurse could wait. At the very least, he had managed to maintain a decent first impression.
"Are we just going to stand here and keep talking?"
Lin Yu casually mentioned.
Xia Xiashan and Maomao, who had arranged the dinner, immediately caught on.
"Let’s take our seats first. I’ll notify the waiters to start serving. We can chat while we eat."
"Today, we’ve invited quite the extraordinary guest. I’m incredibly curious about ZerO’s story."
Xia Xiashan’s tone had shifted, and she looked at Lin Yu with a meaningful gaze.
His identity was safe—but a grudge had indeed been formed.
It seemed that between him and Xia Xiashan, a "showdown" was inevitable sooner or later.
The International Hotel’s service was efficient.
Xia Xiashan, being generous, had ordered an array of exquisite, high-end dishes.
For Grandma Lin, it was like stepping into a whole new world.
Forget about identities or grudges—filling his stomach was what mattered now!
He hadn’t eaten properly in the afternoon, and he wasn’t about to let his stomach suffer any longer.
But just as Lin Yu picked up a paper-thin slice of sausage with his chopsticks, before it could reach his mouth—
Xia Xiashan’s provocation arrived:
"Grandmaster Z, Weiwei says you’re quite the fighter?"
Lin Yu’s muscle memory kicked in, and he replied without thinking:
"Pfft, what’s the use of being good at fighting?"
The moment he said it—
The entire table erupted in reaction.
Maomao’s muscle memory activated too:
"‘The Special New Humans’—‘To survive in this world, you need power and connections. Which gang are you from?’ Exact quote, minute , second !"
Lin Yu: "..."
This little hacker was seriously unhinged.
Would she literally die if she didn’t dissect a reference?
Xia Xiashan pressed on relentlessly:
"If you were in a fight, how many people could you take on at once?"
Before Lin Yu could think of a response, Xia Yiwei spoke up for her master:
"My master can take on ten at once!"
Maomao seized the opportunity instantly:
"‘Ip Man’—though Wei’s not entirely accurate. The exact line is ‘I want to fight ten!’"
Lin Yu, still holding his chopsticks, sighed helplessly:
"Ladies, can we maybe eat first before continuing this?"
Maomao’s eyes sparkled with excitement:
"‘The Raid’—Ah Wei’s line in the abandoned parking lot, minute , second !"
Xia Xiashan: "..."
Xia Yiwei: "..."
Lin Yu: "..."
This girl was possessed!
Do hackers really have this much free time?
Not only does she watch all these movies, but she memorizes the timestamps too?
All he wanted was to eat in peace!
Lin Yu stared at the delicate slice of sausage on his chopsticks:
"Maomao, I get that you’re eager to show off."
"But I usually eat three-yuan grilled sausages. Today’s a rare chance to enjoy a premium dish."
"Let’s eat first, then continue the performance, alright?"
Unexpectedly—
Lin Yu’s words only made Maomao’s eyes shine even brighter. She even stood up abruptly:
"Grilled sausages—three yuan for one, how much for two?"
"The answer is five yuan!"
"Only those who truly understand life know the real answer."
"It’s just like yesterday’s ‘find a piece of bubblegum’—same logic!"
"ZerO, I’m not the same person I was yesterday. I won’t lose to anyone again!"
"Got any more challenges for me?"
Lin Yu: "..."
Xia Xiashan: "Maomao… have you been memorizing all this?"
Xia Yiwei: "Is… is this how hackers compete? This is what they compare?"
Lin Yu finally understood.
If he didn’t deal with this obsessive, borderline-deranged kitten—
He wouldn’t get a single bite in peace.
Her competitiveness wasn’t just strong—it was downright pathological!
Instead of resting last night, she had gone and crammed like it was an exam.
Fine.
If she didn’t understand the ruthlessness of the real world, he’d have to teach her.
Lin Yu: "Question time!"
Maomao instantly straightened up, fists clenched in determination.
Xia Xiashan: "There’s really a question?"
Xia Yiwei: "Master, you’re serious?"
Did he have a choice?
This cat wasn’t one to be fooled easily!
Lin Yu set down his chopsticks and fired off without hesitation:
"Which of the following constitutes the crime of provocation?"
"A: Going to a hospital ward every day to pour cold water on a comatose patient."
"B: Standing outside an orphanage with a loudspeaker, blasting ‘Only Mama is Good in This World’ on loop."
"C: Attending a friend’s father’s funeral and asking, ‘Why isn’t your dad here?’"
"D: Boarding a funeral bus and handing out wedding candies to grieving family members."
"Your answer?"
Maomao’s pupils trembled violently: "Wait… what…?!!"
Xia Xiashan froze on the spot: "???"
Xia Yiwei gave two thumbs up: "Wow!"
Mo Shangying’s voice crackled through the earpiece:
"That’s my Master for you—destroy this competitive little brat!"
"Hahaha, what kind of carbon-based lifeform even thinks of questions like this?"
"Master, I freaking love you!"
Lin Yu: "..."
For a moment, he couldn’t tell if his rebellious disciple was praising him or insulting him.
It wasn’t that Maomao hadn’t prepared enough—
She just hadn’t lived long enough.
A top-tier legal exam question like this? She’d never even heard of it.
Lin Yu casually waved five fingers and said dismissively:
"Git gud."
"Sit down. Let’s eat."
"Before the cold dishes turn warm."
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!

] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players. He thought he could develop safely, but after clearing the first instance, he is branded by humanity as the chief culprit behind the game's spread—a traitorous villain. A villain? Who would ever... become one! He'll be the villain! From then on, Zhu Yan is not only a player but also a lackey for the Carnival Paradise. Between the straight path and the crooked path, he chooses the con. With his left hand, he dons the villain's mantle, staging scenes within instances, infuriating players who decry him as a despicable traitor, all while the game happily promotes him. With his right hand, he joins the non-human organization "Fangcun Mountain," which opposes the Carnival Paradise, transforming into a mysterious player who slaughters game bosses, earning cheers of "Long live the expert!" from fellow players. Gradually, Zhu Yan rises to become an S-rank human player in Fangcun Mountain's archives, while also being the Carnival Paradise's certified top game Boss.

end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
