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.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot? How can I tolerate this? With a grand wave of his hand—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! Slander the Emperor? Very well, all of you shall die! ... The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor.

ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine!
