Even with the system task at hand,
Lin Yu didn't agree too readily.
Using his prior commitment to help Teacher Tang in the morning as an excuse,
he bargained with Xia Yiwei for quite a while before "reluctantly" giving in.
This way,
at least Xia Yiwei would feel she owed him another favor.
After hanging up,
Lin Yu turned the stove to its lowest setting and followed faint noises to the first-floor communal laundry room.
As expected,
the girl standing inside in her sleepwear, phone in hand, was none other than Maomao.
Spotting Lin Yu, Maomao quickly stashed her phone away like a thief caught red-handed.
On the table beside the washing machine sat the new plastic basin Maomao had bought yesterday,
still holding her and Xia Yiwei's clothes.
Lin Yu approached with his hands behind his back, wearing an expression of paternal warmth:
"Don’t know how to use the washing machine?"
Maomao’s eye twitched: "!!!"
If anyone else in the apartment had seen her like this, she wouldn’t have cared.
But in front of Lin Yu… she couldn’t afford to lose!
"Just give me a minute to look up the manual,"
"I’ll absolutely, absolutely master it in no time!"
Maomao retorted stubbornly.
Lin Yu: "..."
So this sheltered young lady had never lifted a finger, huh?
The washing machine in the apartment was the most common, user-friendly model on the market.
If she needed instructions for this,
it could only mean Maomao had never done laundry at home!
While the other female roommates were living their "Shared Apartment Chronicles,"
Maomao was practically starring in her own "Survival Challenge."
That said,
given Maomao’s learning ability, Lin Yu had no doubt she could figure it out.
If she could handle complex computers, a washing machine was nothing, right?
The only problem was…
if she learned too quickly, his mission would be ruined!
Lin Yu offered:
"Let me help. Are these the only clothes to wash?"
Maomao took two steps back and nodded silently:
"Wei said bras and underwear shouldn’t go in the machine."
"Even though it’s unscientific, I’ll respect her opinion."
Lin Yu: "..."
Having never blended into peer groups, Maomao had zero sense of boundaries.
Did she really need to share such private details with him?
Was he supposed to hand-wash them for her or something?
"Watch closely. I’ll only show you once."
"First, put the clothes in, then…"
Lin Yu meticulously explained the washing machine’s functions,
including the purpose of every button.
Maomao listened intently, muttering along as if repeating the steps aloud
would sear them into her memory.
And strangely enough…
it actually worked!
Having copied Maomao’s skills, Lin Yu knew just how powerful her [Photographic Memory] was.
[Ding!]
[Masterful move—demonstrating your divine mastery of spiritual tools before a junior disciple, leaving her awestruck!]
[Reward: 20 Spirit Stones.]
Maomao was indeed stunned.
ZerO was a hacker like her, spending endless hours in front of computers.
Yet he could effortlessly operate such a complex, high-speed mechanical device!
So impressive!
Lin Yu: "..."
A washing machine impressed her this much?
If she saw him cooking noodles next, she’d probably think he was a god.
Newbies were so easily amazed…
"Mm! Mm!"
"..."
"Got it?"
As the fully automatic washing machine whirred to life, Lin Yu smirked.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! Daily Mission "Newbie Guidance (Help with Laundry)" completed!]
[Reward: 50 Sect Contribution Points, 20 Spirit Stones.]
Maomao bowed slightly:
"Learned. Thank you, Yu."
"If… there’s anything I can help with, just ask."
"Wei mentioned we might… trouble you again this morning."
Her tone was calm,
but her faintly awkward expression betrayed her discomfort.
As for Lin Yu—
he’d been waiting for this exact offer!
Lin Yu: "Help, huh… Can you water plants?"
Maomao: "Mmm… I’ll learn after watching once!"
Lin Yu: "Alright, follow me to the balcony. I’ll show you. After that, I’ll make you noodles."
[Ding!]
[Genius move—displaying your supreme culinary skills before a junior disciple, shocking her to the core!]
[Reward: 20 Spirit Stones.]
Maomao: "!!!"
Not just laundry and gardening…
ZerO could… cook too?!
He’s on another level!
Compared to him, her incompetence this morning was downright humiliating.
……
Ten minutes later.
In the kitchen,
Lin Yu’s "Breeze Noodles" were ready, waiting to be served.
He pulled out his phone and began mass-texting on WeChat like a general summoning troops.
「To Aunt Qimeng: Auntie, made you noodles.」
「To Chi Qingshui: Big Chi, thanks for yesterday’s dough-drop soup. Come try my noodles.」
「To Chi Qingchi: Noodles?」
「To Ye Mengfu: Little Fufu, your noodles are ready. Come eat.」
「To Mo Shangying: Rebellious disciple, want noodles?」
「To Tang Yimian: Senior, grab breakfast before you leave.」
"I’ll help serve!!"
With Lin Yu’s terrifying speed and reflexes,
the moment he sent the last message to Tang Yimian,
Chi Qingchi—her hair a disheveled mess—had already materialized in the dining room.
Lin Yu: "..."
Useless at everything except sprinting to meals.
Even sending "Noodles?" was overkill.
Lin Yu suspected that during mealtimes,
a single "?" would still make Qingchi charge into the room like a summoned beast.
"Go ahead, what are you waiting for? Eight bowls total. You can give yourself extra, Qingchi… Qingchi!"
Mid-sentence, Lin Yu noticed Qingchi had frozen in place like an unwashed statue.
"Sniff… sniff!"
She took a dramatic inhale, circulating the aromatic steam through her lungs like a connoisseur,
then exclaimed:
"Lin, you’re the best!!"
"So fragrant! What kind of noodles are these?"
"They look like plain broth noodles, but plain broth never smells this good!"
"Did you add magic or something?"
[Ding!]
[Brilliant move—the unique aroma of your spiritual cuisine enchants the Bell Bearer of the Joyous Sect!]
[Reward: 20 Spirit Stones.]
Lin Yu grinned.
Well,
it was kind of… magic.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
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.
