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.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
【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.)
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
