Lin Yu strode confidently toward his two old friends.
As he approached, he cautiously called out first, "Ruirui-jie, stand up."
Turning to look at Mao Ruirui under the tree shade, there was no reaction.
Only then did Lin Yu feel at ease.
It seemed the range of the Beast Command hadn’t expanded to the size of a sports field.
With that settled,
he could finally drop the pretense when chatting with these two.
"Let’s talk over at the rest area under the stands. It’s cooler there."
Lin Yu walked up to the two girls, his expression cold as he spoke first.
Lv Rou and Wu Chuntian exchanged glances: "..."
Just moments ago, he had completely ignored them.
Now, the moment he approached, he suggested going somewhere secluded?
This kind of move
was hard not to be wary of!
Lv Rou: "Lin Yu, we just wanted to—"
Lin Yu: "If you’re not going, then don’t bother talking. And stop following me."
Wu Chuntian quickly tugged at Lv Rou’s sleeve:
"We’ll go! After running around so much in this heat, it’s only natural to want somewhere cooler!"
Lv Rou shot her a bewildered look: "???"
Her eyes clearly screamed:
Don’t you know he’s got screws loose?
And you’re willing to go somewhere without cameras?!
Are you insane?!
[Ding!]
[Critical Hit! The succubus and deer-girl duo show signs of internal division. Seize the moment, Holy Son, and strike the finishing blow!]
[Reward: Spirit Stones 50+50]
Wu Chuntian couldn’t care less.
In Lin Yu’s phone, Lv Rou was just an unflattering black mark at worst.
But she was caught on video sprinting stark naked!
If only she knew where Lin Yu lived—
she’d have barged in long ago to make him delete it right in front of her.
As for the cost?
Wu Chuntian didn’t give a damn.
While Lv Rou hesitated over whether to comply,
Wu Chuntian was already half-dragging her toward the shaded area under the stands.
Lin Yu had chosen this spot precisely to avoid prying eyes—
especially Mao Ruirui’s.
Once they were alone,
he could finally act as he pleased, free to toy with them however he liked.
Lin Yu followed a step behind, settling onto the shaded steps.
Lv Rou and Wu Chuntian stood at a safe distance, still wary.
Though uneasy, it was broad daylight.
Surely Lin Yu wouldn’t dare try anything.
"Lin Yu, you’ve been busy lately, right?"
"I noticed you never replied to my messages."
"After that film screening, we meant to treat you to dinner, but you had stuff to do."
"So we thought…"
Lv Rou’s face twisted with barely concealed disgust as she spoke.
But with leverage in his hands, she had no choice but to play along:
"We wanted to know when you’re free so we can take you out properly."
"Our summer break is wide open—just pick a time that works for you."
Her trademark smile returned,
committed to seeing this charade through.
Lin Yu didn’t answer. Instead, he held out his hand.
Lv Rou tensed:
"Wh-what do you mean?"
Was he about to get handsy?
Did he think she had no spine?!
If Lin Yu dared cross the line, she’d drag him down with her.
"Isn’t that for me?"
Realization dawned, and Lv Rou hastily handed over her unopened sports drink:
"Oh! Y-yes, of course… You must be exhausted after all that running."
"Your stamina’s insane—you barely even look sweaty after sprinting like that."
Lin Yu knew every word of praise was torture for her.
But with no audience today and his sights set elsewhere, there was no point wasting time.
"Gulp, gulp—gulp, gulp—"
He tipped his head back and drained the bottle in one go.
Then he raised his hand toward Wu Chuntian.
Catching on, she hurriedly passed him her unopened drink.
Another round of "gulp, gulp" followed.
Lv Rou and Wu Chuntian shared a silent glance: "..."
Lin Yu’s behavior was downright bizarre.
What kind of person chugs two 500ml energy drinks first thing in the morning?
Then again,
he clearly was parched.
Wiping his mouth, Lin Yu cut to the chase:
"Let’s skip the small talk."
"I know you’re only here because of those videos."
Lv Rou: "That’s… true."
Wu Chuntian: "Yeah, exactly."
To them,
this was the first time Lin Yu had acted remotely human.
They had to strike while the iron was hot.
"I’ve watched them a few times. Honestly, the footage isn’t great."
[Ding!]
[Bloodthirsty Strike! A ruthless jab at their weakest point leaves the succubus squad defenseless!]
[Reward: Spirit Stones 50+50]
Lv Rou: "..."
Wu Chuntian: "..."
Their faces cycled through shades of fury and humiliation at his taunting.
Yet they bit their tongues, not daring to snap.
Wu Chuntian blurted out anxiously:
"Lin Yu, just tell us—what will it take to delete them?"
"If you ever need favors in class, we’ve got your back."
Even while pleading, she measured her words carefully,
terrified he’d actually hold her to some outrageous demand.
Little did she know,
her offer played right into his hands.
"Hey!"
"Chuntian, you’re sharp!"
"How’d you guess I do need help with something?"
Wu Chuntian froze mid-breath:
"W-wait, seriously? Wh-what is it?"
Luring them to a camera-blind spot before mentioning a "favor"...
She’d heard all the lurid campus legends about this very rest area—
a notorious haunt for couples avoiding motel fees.
Was Lin Yu actually—?!
Lv Rou subtly edged backward.
Wu Chuntian was the one who’d agreed.
She’d promised nothing!
Lin Yu grinned.
"Relax, it’s nothing crazy."
"Just need you two to run some errands—buy daily essentials."
"I’m too lazy to hit multiple stores myself."
Hearing how trivial the request was,
Lv Rou retracted her retreating foot:
"No problem! We’ll handle the shopping."
"But you have to delete those videos in front of us!"
"And no secret backups!"
Lin Yu’s eyes sparkled with mock realization:
"Wow, I hadn’t even thought of backing them up!"
Lv Rou: "!!!"
Wu Chuntian stared at her best friend: "???"

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!

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.”
