Lin Yu had gradually grown accustomed to it.
He no longer resisted that voice—in fact, he even felt a little anticipation for it.
This feeling of making progress bit by bit every day with everyone… was pretty great!
Lin Yu eagerly opened the system interface to check today’s personal information.

After glancing over today’s information panel, Lin Yu noted plenty of highlights.
Compared to yesterday, there were three new missions—two of them daily tasks that seemed easy.
As for the urgent missions…
Wasn’t this just a morning perk?
His little Dao Companion was simply grateful and had prepared breakfast for him!
Yet she was too shy to say it, fretting over such a trivial matter.
This kind of mission was a breeze.
If there were a few more like this, he’d truly be able to achieve lottery and spirit stone freedom.
Thanks to yesterday’s efforts, he had successfully formed positive bonds with all his fellow disciples in the sect.
Don’t underestimate the bonds between us, you rascals~
Now, Lin Yu was practically…
Able to eat well, sleep well, advance and retreat with ease, sharp-minded, and with heightened senses!
But what truly motivated him wasn’t any of that.
It was the new clothes and oil in the system shop!
Yesterday, using the Forbidden Land Exploration Talisman, he had caught a glimpse of an immortal maiden’s elegance.
The visual feast had given him full confidence in the system’s aesthetic taste.
How could chamber-specific attire possibly disappoint?
For a gaming enthusiast like him,
When a character you occasionally play suddenly gets a special skin,
You’ll find yourself obsessively playing that character for a long time.
Who could resist a unique skin?
He’d sell everything to get it!
…
After meticulously freshening up, Lin Yu headed downstairs to start a new day.
Arriving at the first-floor dining area,
Today’s kitchen seemed a little crowded.
Not only was Aunt Qimeng busy, but the Chi sisters—Chi Qingchi and Chi Qingshui—were also bustling about.
This made it all the more convenient for Lin Yu to complete his missions.
"Morning, Aunt Qimeng!"
"Good morning, Big Chi, Little Chi!"
【Ding!】
【Congratulations, Host! You have successfully completed the daily mission ‘Chief’s Morning Greetings.’ Reward: 50 Sect Contribution, 50 Spirit Stones!】
With a simple greeting, Lin Yu had just earned 500 bucks.
Talk about easy money.
Chen Qimeng: "Good morning, Xiao Yu! Perfect timing for breakfast."
Chi Qingchi: "Whoa~ How strange! The all-nighter king has been waking up early for days now?"
Chi Qingshui: "Morning."
As expected.
When someone breaks their usual pattern, it naturally draws attention from those who know them.
Lin Yu glanced at the aloof Chi Qingshui,
Mentally teasing her:
Morning~
Oh, morning~
So cold, huh~
She specifically got up early to make breakfast for "her hubby,"
Yet she wore the expression of someone owed money.
Fine!
Very fine!
Just fine!
Let’s see who falls first in this secret online romance.
"It smells amazing! Are you making soup?"
Lin Yu stepped closer, deliberately eyeing the stove where Chi Qingshui was working.
Hearing the question,
Chi Qingshui straightened her back slightly but didn’t turn around.
Instead, she focused on stirring the pot with a spoon.
Such a small action, yet it clearly signaled to Lin Yu:
This was her cooking—of course it smelled good!
Chen Qimeng, oblivious to the subtle dynamics between the youngsters,
Cheerfully chimed in:
"Thanks to Qingshui today, I had it much easier. We all get to enjoy a treat."
"I just made some rolled egg pancakes, and Qingshui prepared a pot of dough drop soup."
"Xiao Yu, take a seat. We’ll all try Qingshui’s cooking in a bit."
Chi Qingshui replied nervously:
"Aunt Qimeng, don’t set your expectations too high."
"It’s been a while since I last made this… I might be a bit rusty."
Lin Yu stifled a laugh.
She was already preemptively lowering expectations before serving.
Oh, Big Chi…
Just how much did she worry about her image in others’ eyes?
Chi Qingchi licked her lips, staring fixedly at the egg pancakes on the table:
"Everyone… my stomach’s protesting—growl, growl, growl!"
"Can I have a rolled pancake first to tide me over?"
Lin Yu looked at Chi Qingchi, whose face was smeared with flour like a little tabby cat.
He couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up:
"Impressive, Qingchi."
"Did you go to the Heavenly Court to help eat a mountain of noodles or something?"
…
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot? How can I tolerate this? With a grand wave of his hand—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! Slander the Emperor? Very well, all of you shall die! ... The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
