7:00 AM.

[Today is another hopeful day!]
[Host, please continue exploring the Path of Joyful Union. Strive to become the pillar of the sect!]
The system's notification chime rang on time.
However, this time it wasn't a wake-up call.
Lin Yu was already bustling around the kitchen, preparing breakfast.
He couldn't help but wonder—if he traveled abroad, would the system adjust for time zones?
Lin Yu paused his cooking as he watched the pot of water that hadn't yet boiled.
Eagerly, he checked the refreshed system information.

Lin Yu scrolled through the information panel.
Though his status remained "Chief Disciple," the surprises today were plentiful.
The biggest delight came from the "new disciple" Maomao.
She appeared in both urgent and daily missions.
Better yet—many daily tasks could now be delegated to her.
She works, Lin Yu reaps spirit stones and contributions.
Is this the privilege of being a senior disciple?
Bliss!
If more juniors joined, could he rely on these "automatic spirit stone dispensers" to laze his way to becoming sect master?
Wait…
If his rank surpassed everyone else, why would he need newcomers?
Being chief disciple still wasn’t high enough!
Another surprise came from the ever-dependable Little Fufu.
Her unreserved constitution was perfection.
After soul-bonding, the dual-bond trial followed immediately.
With steady progress this Wednesday…
Thursday: the rebellious Ying'er.
Friday: his sweetheart Chi Qingshui.
Saturday, the young artist Ye Mengfu.
These days are truly becoming more and more promising!
Today's physical status buffs:
Most of them are unsurprising.
The unexpected one is Ying'er—last night, she actually dreamed of him?
Lin Yu didn't cast any dream-entering spell on her, so he wonders...
How impressive was he in her dream?
Another noteworthy status update:
Antique Sister's 【Homesickness】?
Compared to yesterday's +60%, it has surged by two and a half times.
Based on past experience, such a drastic change usually only happens when a major relationship milestone is reached.
Thinking carefully...
Aside from the group dinner yesterday, was there anything special between him and Shen Buyao?
Absolutely nothing!
Where did this 【Homesickness】 come from?
Perhaps it will only be confirmed tonight when they visit the Ghost Market to finalize the antique deal.
As for the newly refreshed items in the system shop and their exact functions—
No point in wild guesses now.
Once enough spirit stones are saved up today, buying them will reveal the answers.
"Spinning round and round, we become~ deep fingerprints~"
While waiting for the water to boil in the kitchen to cook noodles, the phone rings first.
Lin Yu pulls out his phone:
【Xia Yiwei】
"Hey? Is the angel in white just off night shift?"
Lin Yu answers the call with a teasing tone.
Soon, Xia Yiwei's drowsy voice comes through:
"Little Master, yawn... I'm suffering!"
"The head nurse took leave today, so there's no one covering the morning shift."
"Do you have any idea how painful it is for a worker to go from night shift straight to day shift?"
Lin Yu really wants to retort:
I’ve suffered worse than you!
Do you know the agony of a corporate slave who only gets one weekend off in three months?
Haven’t we all been through it?
Except... hey! I’ve made it out!
"Vivi, stop beating around the bush. What do you need from me?"
Xia Yiwei chuckles over the phone:
"Hehe, as expected, nothing escapes Little Master. So sharp."
"Since I can’t go home this morning, could you do me a favor and take care of Maomao?"
Of course.
Judging by the urgent task, it’s easy to guess the purpose of Xia Yiwei’s call.
This morning,
Aside from attending Senior Tang’s 【Mortal World Guidance】 later,
He’ll also have to multitask with 【Elder Guiding the Newbie】 for Maomao.
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)
iaobai: "Councilor Dad, front me some funds. I want to hire ten thousand professional miners for a project!" [Five-Star Mission Issued: Capture the leader of the Blood Heaven Pirate Gang, who is on the run in the Radiant Star Sector. It is said the gang has over a hundred members.

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
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?!
