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.

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.
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...
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
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.”
