After inputting 400 sect contribution points,
The colossal roulette wheel illusion reappeared in his mind.
Unlike before, this time there were two spinning pointers.
Soon, the pointers gradually came to a halt, revealing the prizes...
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained a physical reward: Bone-Tempering Body Forging Pill!]
[Description: Bones sturdy as bedrock withstand immense force, flesh tough as iron breaks through all obstacles, movements fluid as a roaming dragon, walking and sitting with effortless grace.]
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained a technique reward: Joyous Phoenix-Luring Finger Technique!]
[Description: With nimble finger movements, the meridians of the feet are fully unblocked, weariness vanishes as body and mind refresh, beauty flocks like phoenixes drawn to its call.]
The first reward materialized into a tangible pill.
With a mere thought, Lin Yu summoned it into his hand.
His first prize had been a Beauty Enhancement Pill.
This time, the pill could be simply described as a "Body Refinement Pill."
The second reward transformed into a mastered technique, merging directly into Lin Yu’s consciousness.
He flexed his fingers slightly and muttered:
"If I ever lose my job, maybe I can try out as a foot massage therapist?"
"Joyous Phoenix-Luring Finger Technique... damn, that’s pretentiously poetic!"
All that flowery description...
In reality,
Wasn’t it just a skilled foot massage technique?
Thanks to his past life’s extensive experience as a customer,
The techniques he’d mastered now surpassed 99% of the legit therapists out there.
He ought to find a test subject later and see what the hell this "phoenix-luring" business was all about.
As for the [Bone-Tempering Body Forging Pill], Lin Yu didn’t hesitate—he popped it straight into his mouth.
With this pill, he’d finally have the means to make idiots think twice before running their mouths.
Swallowing it down, he felt as if a scalding hot water bag had been stuffed inside him.
The burning sensation was so intense that Lin Yu gritted his teeth.
At the same time, he could sense subtle transformations occurring in his body.
Fortunately, the searing heat didn’t last long.
"Hah..."
Exhaling a breath of hot air, his entire body felt incredibly light—the pill had perfectly integrated into his system.
Lin Yu clenched his fist experimentally, and the surge of power made him itch to punch something.
"Lin Yu, I’m all changed!"
Chi Qingchi dashed over in a skimpy Rem outfit, her playful expression utterly adorable.
The classic maid dress, paired with white thigh-highs and glimpses of snow-white skin, was the perfect blend of allure and cuteness.
Whether it was the pill’s lingering effects or Chi Qingchi’s overwhelming charm,
Lin Yu quickly adjusted his stance, doing his best to hide the reaction below his waist.
Then, he gave her a thumbs-up.
"Perfect! I knew I had a good eye!"
Outside the store, in the hallway,
Zhou Yang and Hao Qian, the couple, were preparing to leave with the utterly dejected Zhao Yuhao in tow.
But of all the rotten luck,
Hao Qian spotted Chi Qingchi in her Rem cosplay inside the shop, with Lin Yu affectionately patting her head.
"Didn’t they say they were going home? Why are they still—"
Halfway through her sentence, she noticed the boys’ gazes and swallowed the rest.
Zhao Yuhao’s arm trembled miserably.
Death would’ve been kinder.
These two were twisting the knife—no, rubbing salt into the wound!
And doing it so brazenly!
Zhou Yang patted Zhao Yuhao’s shoulder sympathetically.
"Let it go, little Yuhao."
"No matter how good she is, she’s someone else’s. We just don’t have that kind of luck."
...
Lin Yu and Chi Qingchi strolled around until nearly 11 p.m. before finally calling a cab home, thoroughly satisfied.
They hadn’t managed to buy the tarot cards or cat-girl bell from their daily quest,
But today had already been plenty rewarding.
No need to force things.
On the way back,
Lin Yu received a WeChat message from Chen Qimeng,
Saying she’d be back by noon to cook and that he should come home for lunch.
After an all-nighter of drinking and gaming at the internet café,
Followed by a half-day shopping spree,
The exhaustion hit Lin Yu hard in the backseat of the taxi.
He told Chi Qingchi to wake him when they arrived, then settled in for a nap.
Chi Qingchi, bursting with youthful energy, kept herself busy in the car.
Snapping selfie after selfie,
Not just of her Rem-inspired hairstyle but also cradling Lin Yu’s 2399-yen Zoro figure for commemorative shots.
Once she’d captured enough memories,
Chi Qingchi reflected on the day’s events and found herself gazing at the sleeping Lin Yu...
Had they just not interacted enough before?
She’d never realized how witty and sharp-minded Lin Yu was—not to mention his decent looks.
Aside from his surface-level horniness, he didn’t seem to have any major flaws.
All of today’s joy had come from him.
Wanting to preserve the happy memories, Chi Qingchi picked up her phone again.
Using the dozing Lin Yu as a backdrop, she snapped a two-person selfie.
"Hehe..."
After taking it, she eagerly opened her photo editor.
Zooming in on Lin Yu’s section, she suddenly noticed... a certain "Wanwan Crispy Ice" standing tall near his stomach!
Chi Qingchi instantly locked her screen in reflex!
This damn pervert! Was he having some kind of weird dream?!
She froze for several seconds.
Then, sneaking glances at the still-sleeping Lin Yu,
Human nature being what it is,
The harder she tried to ignore it, the more her brain screamed: IT’S RIGHT THERE!
So,
After the first stolen look, her eyes darted back for a second.
Then a third. Fourth. Fifth...
She even held up her phone for comparison, her expression shifting to shock.
Mid-measurement, she suddenly noticed...
Lin Yu was wide awake, staring straight at her!
"Eek—!"
Chi Qingchi yelped, nearly dropping her phone.
"I—I wasn’t... Lin Yu, you’ve got it all wrong—"
Lin Yu blinked innocently.
"Got what wrong? I wasn’t thinking anything."
Chi Qingchi exhaled in relief.
Phew, she’d overreacted.
He’d been asleep the whole time—he probably hadn’t noticed a thing.
But then,
Lin Yu added:
"Next time, just ask if you want a look. I’ll give you the uncensored version—no need to peek."
Chi Qingchi’s face burned crimson. She had no comeback.
Damn her curiosity!
Lin Yu smirked inwardly.
Caught red-handed.
He hadn’t been pretending to sleep, nor was it some sixth sense.
A sudden [Temporary Quest] alert in his mind had jolted him awake.
And the first thing he saw was Chi Qingchi’s measuring act.
After teasing her,
Lin Yu opened his system interface.
Time to check the newly refreshed temporary quest.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream.
