[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.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
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...
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
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?"
