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.

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.”

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?"

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...
