Holy crap!
This stuff is ridiculously expensive!
Especially the 【Chamber Tools】 category.
Combined, these two items would cost 40 grand in cash!
With that kind of money, he could buy a truckload of ropes!
After all the time we've spent together, you're gonna rip me off like this?
These kinds of tantalizing items are always like this…
Buying them feels like a scam, but not trying them feels like an even bigger loss.
And the worst part? The inventory refreshes daily.
If he doesn’t buy today, there’s no guarantee they’ll ever show up again.
Damn system.
It really knows how to exploit the psychology of a horndog like him.
Well, the refresh happens at 7 AM tomorrow.
He could still make the purchase tonight after going home.
Better play it safe for now.
Maybe he’ll earn more spirit stones by then.
Thankfully, he still had enough cash on hand and hadn’t rushed to withdraw it.
Otherwise,
he’d really be left "gazing at the goods with tears in his eyes."
And now, for the grand finale…
【Peerless Technique: Nine Cauldrons of Joyful Union】!
As a reward of the cultivation arts category,
Lin Yu didn’t need to guess how to use it.
The system interface provided a detailed description.
【Peerless Technique: Nine Cauldrons of Joyful Union (Novice)】
【Current Cauldrons: 0】
【Note: With soul cultivation as the supplement and body cultivation as the core, each time you and your dao companion embark on the Path of Joyful Union, you will gain one of the following: an attribute skill, a special ability, or a secret art. Once all nine cauldrons are gathered, the divine technique will reach perfection!】
Now THIS was the "Joyful Union Sect" Lin Yu had always imagined!
Nine Cauldrons of Joyful Union…
There was no need to explain who the nine "cauldrons" referred to.
If he could collect all nine, wouldn’t that basically summon his inner "True Dragon"?
Ridiculous? Maybe. But badass? Absolutely!
Today’s 11-draw spree had completely set the course for Lin Yu’s future path.
The excitement was impossible to contain.
To cool his restless heart, Lin Yu ordered two extra-large iced colas to chill himself down.
......
As soon as the Ghost Market opened,
Lin Yu arrived right on time.
This time,
instead of carrying a cloth bag, he’d bought a proper backpack from a supermarket.
Inside were three 【Mundane Treasures】 he’d collected over the past two days.
These items were practically worthless in his hands.
Running back and forth to pester "Antique Sis" was getting a bit embarrassing.
If the opportunity arose today,
he’d sell them all in one go for a good price!
The No-Treasure Pavilion was as easy to find as ever.
Just follow the light~
and there it was, right at the doorstep.
He wondered if Shen Buyao had prepared specifically for his arrival.
Today, the shop door was open, but the window was shut.
No stall set up beneath it either, making Lin Yu feel oddly… appreciated.
Knock knock knock.
Lin Yu politely rapped on the door:
"Buyao-jie, I’m here?"
The moment he spoke,
two heads popped up from behind the counter.
Shen Buyao’s outfit wasn’t much different from yesterday’s.
Her embroidered attire had even more intricate designs this time.
Seemed like she really had a thing for this aesthetic.
She still wore that crescent-moon hairpin too.
The girl beside her,
however, was a stark contrast in style.
The two looked like they belonged in different eras—one ancient, one modern.
Slightly tousled black permed hair,
wispy bangs, and a flawless, fair complexion with delicate makeup.
Her eyes might not have been naturally large,
but with her meticulously curled lashes, they looked plenty big.
In terms of looks alone,
she was at least an 8/10.
When the two girls stepped out from behind the counter,
Lin Yu finally got a full view of the mystery girl’s outfit.
A dark green short-sleeve paired with ripped black jeans—
giving off strong "revived hipster" vibes.
Wait a minute…
Was this the same girl he’d danced with in that flashy game yesterday?
"College boy, you’re punctual as always."
"We were just about to play a round while waiting for you!"
Shen Buyao smiled warmly, her eyes crinkling with amusement.
If Lin Yu didn’t know her true nature,
he might’ve actually fallen for that angelic grin.
Approaching the two, Lin Yu replied:
"We agreed on a time yesterday—of course I wouldn’t be late."
"Buyao-jie, who’s this?"
The ripped-jeans girl nudged Shen Buyao and whispered:
"Buyao, introduce me already!"
"I wanna chat with the college boy, hehehe!"
Lin Yu: "…"
Couldn’t she just introduce herself?
Did it have to be Antique Sis?
Hard to tell if she was shy or just extra.
Shen Buyao cleared her throat and gestured grandly at Ripped-Jeans:
"Very well! Allow me to act as the bridge between you two."
"This is Lin Yu—college student at our apartment complex, fine young man of the new era, Pingchuan’s most promising rookie, the cream of the crop among his peers…"
Lin Yu’s face burned hotter with each title: "…"
Did she have to be so extra?
Who’d believe half this nonsense?
After rattling off a dozen exaggerated accolades,
Shen Buyao finally turned to the other girl:
"And this young lady’s surname is Huang."
"Full name: Queen of Dirty Jokes."
"Introduction complete."
Lin Yu: "???"
Huang-jie: "!!!"
In a flash,
Shen Buyao dodged two meters away, barely suppressing laughter.
Queen of Dirty Jokes’ retaliatory elbow strike whiffed entirely.
Damn, that was some smooth combo into evasion.
These two must’ve sparred privately more than a few times.
Miss Huang huffed after missing her strike:
"Hey! Shen Buyao, you can’t just betray me like this!"
"I didn’t even expose your secrets!"
"You were supposed to introduce me, not call out my hobbies!"
Lin Yu: "…"
Shen Buyao giggled and slung an arm around Huang Feirong’s shoulders:
"Alright, alright, screw your brother—no more jokes!"
"Proper introduction this time…"
"This is Huang Feirong, my childhood bestie."
"And also… your ‘one-night wifey’ from yesterday’s game!"
Lin Yu’s inner monologue:
I’m not Huang Rong~ or Wong Fei-hung~
But that name’s definitely unforgettable.
He expected Huang Feirong to throw another elbow at the "one-night wifey" remark.
Instead…
Not only did she not react angrily,
she even smirked and extended a hand toward Lin Yu:
"Nice to meet you, my one-night hubby!"
"Looking forward to your ‘service’ tonight—I’ll be selling your…"
"treasures!"
Lin Yu: "???"
Yep.
The first introduction was 100% accurate.
No doubt about it now.
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! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
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)
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
] 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.
