After the three women simultaneously called out Lin Yu's name,
they exchanged surprised glances with each other.
Chi Qingshui: "You go first."
Shen Buyao: "You go first."
Xia Yiwei: "You go first."
Chi Qingshui: "..."
Shen Buyao: "..."
Xia Yiwei: "..."
Chi Qingshui: "Lin Yu, this..."
Shen Buyao: "College student, I heard..."
Xia Yiwei: "Little Lin Yu, your phone..."
Chi Qingshui: "Let the older sisters speak first."
Shen Buyao: "No, you go ahead."
Xia Yiwei: "You two should talk first."
Lin Yu: "..."
What the heck, ladies?
Practicing your synchronized routine here?
This whole spectacle
allowed the rest of the group, not far behind, to catch up.
Surrounded by a few younger girls, Chen Qimeng watched the scene unfold like juicy gossip.
Mo Shangying: "Qimeng-jie, Little Yu sure is popular."
Chen Qimeng: "Yeah, everyone seems to love hanging out with him lately."
Ye Mengfu: "Burp—"
Chen Qimeng: "What’s wrong? Xiao Fu, no one’s blaming you, don’t… don’t panic."
Ye Mengfu: "Burp—Burp!"
At this critical moment,
only the voice of reason could save the day!
Chi Qingchi stepped forward: "Big sisters, should I go first?"
The three women turned to Xiao Chi: "..."
Lin Yu: "Hahaha, hilarious!"
Seeing the crowd fall silent and the spotlight now on her,
Chi Qingchi took a deep breath and unleashed a rapid-fire monologue:
"The first shop at the entrance of Food Street sells amazing takoyaki, but their other grilled stuff is just okay."
"The third stall’s special-sauce grilled cold noodles are practically a must-eat for Pingchuan University students!"
"The sixth shop is a rotating hot pot place—not great for group meals—but their sweet-and-sour spare ribs are to-go perfection!"
"The eighth stall..."
"The twelfth..."
"Then the second from the left..."
"The seventh is a mixed stir-fry spot with free refills on drinks and beer!"
"So here’s the plan: split up and grab takeout from shops one, three, six, and twelve on the right, then two, four, and five on the left."
"Regroup at the seventh shop on the left, order dishes, pour drinks, and enjoy the ultimate foodie adventure!"
The crowd: "!!"
A certain catgirl backed away warily, as if facing doom: "!!!"
"Such… such insane memory!"
"So the dorm has… a hidden mastermind?!"
Lin Yu was utterly awestruck—
no longer just mentally impressed but physically applauding Chi Qingchi like mad.
This was the kind of "generalissimo"-level strategy only someone who’d conquered Food Street multiple times could devise.
And not just any general—more like the Marshal of the Heavenly River commanding 100,000 aquatic troops!
Xia Yiwei: "Pfft—HA! Perfect, Xiao Chi! Let’s do it—my treat!"
Shen Buyao: "College really teaches you things, huh?"
Mo Shangying: "Hehe, that’s like a year’s worth of meals for me!"
Ye Mengfu: "Burp—C-can’t eat… more…"
Chi Qingshui: "Xiao Chi… when exactly did you try that ‘little beer’ you mentioned?"
Chi Qingchi: "What beer? I never drink. Never touched alcohol. Did I say that? You misheard, sis."
Chi Qingshui: "STAY RIGHT THERE!"
As the Chi sisters launched into a chase scene, with sugar mommy Xia Yiwei rushing after them—
The only person left to chat with Lin Yu was Shen Buyao.
Shen Buyao grabbed Lin Yu's shoulder and dragged him forward a few steps.
"College student, I'm almost done raising the money. Don't sell it to someone else in a hurry."
"Just now, Ying'er said you're the captain of the late - night football - watching brigade."
"Captain, recruit a new member, will you?"
"Hey, where do you guys usually watch football?"
Lin Yu looked at Shen Buyao and struggled to find the right words.
Shen Buyao asked anxiously,
"Why can't you tell your sister?"
Lin Yu straightened his chest and said with an unnatural expression,
"Late at night, in my room, secretly!"
Shen Buyao: "???"
"Damn it, you're not even justified but still acting so bold?"
"I'm too embarrassed to expose you. Is that really football you're watching?"
Lin Yu: "..."
[Ding!]
[Limited - time mission released: A crisis is approaching. The host and the beautiful women of the Joyous Sect have entered the mortal world and been discovered by the Fiery Sea Demonic Gang. The Fiery Sea Demons are ready to act. Please protect the safety of the sect sisters within the limited time, help them resolve or let them resolve the crisis. At the same time, strongly assert the sovereignty of fellow sect members!]
[Time limit: two hours.]
[Mission rewards: Unknown sect contributions, unknown spiritual stones, unknown number of free draws in the system mall (strongly related to the number of protected sect friends).]
Lin Yu: "???"
Fiery Sea Demons...
And it's a gang?
What era is this? Still playing the gangster game?
Where are there so many hooligans?
Why not throw in a Grim Reaper to make it a trio?
Dealing with so many female roommates at the same time was already giving him a huge headache.
Now the demon bosses are also joining the fun?
Then fight!
There is bound to be an extraordinary dinner on this ordinary Food Street tonight!
...
After arriving at the Food Street in high spirits,
Everyone followed the suggestion of the "Food Marshal" and started to split up for shopping.
Finally,
Through some intentional or unintentional arrangements,
Lin Yu and Ye Mengfu were grouped together to go to a shop deep inside to buy delicious cold mixed dishes for everyone.
When they didn't know where, when, or in what way the "Fiery Sea Demons" would strike,
Choosing to be with the shy girl with the weakest self - protection ability in the team was undoubtedly the right choice.
If some ill - intentioned college students with pointy heads came to strike up a conversation,
Little Fufu might not be able to say a word on the spot.
Even if there were other teammates around,
They were a "gang" after all!
There was also an especially important point...
After making sure there was no one else in sight, Lin Yu looked around carefully.
He boldly hooked his finger and pulled Ye Mengfu's hand over.
[Ding!]
[Brilliant move! This intimate act in the mortal world makes the Taoist companion shy and excited!]
[Reward: 50 spiritual stones]
Tonight, Ye Mengfu rarely didn't wear a hoodie.
Instead, she changed into a painted white short - sleeved shirt that fit well and showed off her hidden charm.
Paired with denim shorts, her figure was incredibly proportionate.
Thinking that this cute and eye - catching girl had just become his "Taoist companion" today,
It would be a lie to say he didn't feel a sense of accomplishment.
Feeling Lin Yu's little move,
Ye Mengfu nervously looked back, like a shy young lady sneaking out for a tryst.
Nervous as she was,
Her little hand didn't pull away...

【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
] [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. But when the final war erupts and both major factions place their hopes in him— Players tag his various aliases: "Experts, this offensive depends on you." The Carnival Paradise's supreme Boss throws an arm around his neck: "Bro, you're the iron, I'm the steel; you can't let me down again!"
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. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
