Before long,
All the roommates who had received the message gathered in the dining area.
Fortunately, the current number of roommates wasn’t too overwhelming.
Otherwise,
The communal dining space in the apartment might not have been able to accommodate everyone.
[Ding!]

A simple bowl of Breeze Noodles alone earned Lin Yu 210 spirit stones.
Following the routine, the cat who had just returned from watering the flowers added sect contributions and extra spirit stones as the cherry on top.
Chi Qingchi: "Munch munch… Lin! You’re amazing! Can I have another bowl? Munch munch…"
Chen Qimeng: "The noodles you made are really fragrant. I had no idea your cooking skills were so much better than mine!"
Chi Qingshui: "The flavor is excellent. Thank you for your effort, Lin Yu."
Mo Shangying: "I was feeling a bit chilly when I came downstairs, but now I’m all warm and cozy!"
Ye Mengfu: "Delicious…"
Tang Yimian: "Junior Lin Yu can actually cook? What an impressive guy."
Cat: "Incredible! The taste and texture are this good?"
Watching the satisfied and blissful expressions on everyone’s faces,
Lin Yu crossed his arms and began forming a new idea…
After massage parlors, writing novels, and debuting as a singer,
Another viable career path for the future had emerged—
Opening a restaurant!
With more and more spiritual cuisine recipes under his belt, wasn’t it only a matter of time before he became a multi-starred master chef?
Gathering everyone in the dining area, Lin Yu had his own calculations.
When a man has too many confidantes, it’s easy to forget things.
Casually checking the message boxes in the past was a hassle!
But now, with the new spiritual dish, Breeze Noodles,
One bowl was worth five checks in the past.
One bowl a day—effective, affordable, and convenient!
A single bowl could cover three floors effortlessly!
After finishing his meal, Lin Yu stood up and swept his gaze across the room.
Blink blink, blink blink…
Message boxes appeared above the heads of every female sect member.
(2,000 words of content omitted, highlighting only the most crucial and far-reaching information)
After reviewing everything, the known information could be disregarded.
The newly emerged tasks and previously unfinished ones were today’s main focus.

After reviewing everything,
Lin Yu had quite a few tasks to tackle today.
In the morning, he focused on Tang Yimian and the cat, heading to the zoo for some leisure.
The new daily task on Elder Tang particularly piqued Lin Yu’s curiosity.
Which school administrator had the audacity to lead a group of elementary students to "visit the monkey mountain"?
Clearly not cut out to be the Jade Emperor—never been bullied by monkeys before, huh?
Without Lin Yu today, the group would probably fall apart!
Bound by duty,
He had no choice but to accompany [Elder Tang] on this journey to the Western… Western Suburb Zoo, to remind those wild monkeys who their true "king" was!
After breakfast,
Tang Yimian approached Lin Yu privately and reminded him:
"Junior Lin Yu, the taxi I booked will arrive at 8:30. We have about forty minutes left."
"No need to rush. I just wanted to remind you—I didn’t dare mention this earlier with so many people in the dining area."
As expected of a senior.
Though a bit wordy, her social awareness was commendable.
Announcing it publicly wouldn’t have been impossible,
But it would’ve invited unnecessary gossip.
Better to avoid extra trouble.
Now that she’d done her part politely, it was Lin Yu’s turn to reciprocate.
"Senior, there’s an unexpected situation I’d like to discuss."
"Earlier at the table, I introduced our new roommate, the cat."
"She doesn’t have much experience with communal living, and Sister Weiwei is on the morning shift, so she asked me to look after her."
"Would it be possible for her to come with us to the zoo?"
"She’ll buy her own ticket and just stay close to our group without interfering."
Since this was a school-organized activity,
Getting Lin Yu involved as an outsider volunteer
Must have already required considerable effort from Tang Yimian.
Now, adding another person last minute naturally needed her approval.
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. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
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.”
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
