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.
