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.

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
