People, huh.
Once you possess the skill of "money power,"
It can truly compensate for the lack of various comprehensive attributes.
Though only revealing a fraction of the golden finger's power,
It’s already enough to nearly make a college girl lose herself.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! You’ve successfully completed the limited-time mission!]
[The succubus and deer-girl gang have been completely crushed and now serve under the Holy Son, eliminating any future threat!]
[Reward: 100 Sect Contribution Points, 200 Spirit Stones.]
...
After instructing the two girls on what to buy,
Lin Yu told them to disappear quickly and stop being an eyesore.
Far from being upset,
The two girls whispered excitedly to each other and left the sports field with renewed vigor.
Lin Yu adjusted his mood and soon reunited with Mao Ruirui.
"Xiao Yu, did... did the conversation go well?"
Mao Ruirui asked immediately.
Lin Yu had spent much longer chatting with them than expected,
And Mao Ruirui was burning with curiosity about what they’d discussed.
But she couldn’t bring herself to ask directly, so she opted for a roundabout approach.
Having just revealed his true nature in front of an old classmate,
Lin Yu now switched to peak acting mode with Mao Ruirui.
"Ah..."
He sighed helplessly first,
Then spoke with deliberate ambiguity:
"Ruirui-jie, I realized I’m really bad at talking to girls."
"I kept telling her we weren’t a good match, but she just wouldn’t give up."
"In the end, I had no choice but to lie..."
Mao Ruirui looked even more puzzled:
"A lie? What did you say?"
Lin Yu glanced at her guiltily and stammered:
"I told her and her friend that...
Ruirui-jie, you’re my girlfriend."
"And that we run together on the sports field every day, so she should just give up."
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! You’ve successfully bound a Soul Cultivation Dao Companion!]
[Dao Companion’s Sect Identity: Elder of the Spirit Beast Garden (Mao Ruirui)]
[Reward: 100 Sect Contribution Points, 200 Spirit Stones.]
Lin Yu felt a wave of satisfaction.
Finally, it’s here...
Mao Ruirui: "!!!"
Xiao Yu actually told the girl who likes him that?!
Even if it was to make her give up,
That’s way too...
Besides,
What if the girl is smart and realizes Lin Yu was lying?
What if she comes to the sports field tomorrow, the day after, or any day in the future to check?
Wouldn’t his story fall apart?
If he really wanted her to believe it,
They’d have to run together regularly for a while to avoid raising suspicions.
Lin Yu looked at Mao Ruirui and quickly apologized:
"I’m sorry, Ruirui-jie."
"I shouldn’t have lied without asking you first."
"I’m not very clever, and at the time, I couldn’t think of a better way."
"So I just..."
Mao Ruirui didn’t feel offended at all.
Instead, she seriously reminded him:
"Xiao Yu, if you told her that,
Then for the next little while, we might have to... run together more often."
"That way, if that girl comes back, she’ll see it’s true and finally give up."
Lin Yu was overjoyed: "!!!"
Congratulations, you’ve learned to anticipate my lines!
She’s saying exactly what he wanted to say!
After setting up the "I had no choice" backstory,
He’d planned to suggest running together daily.
But Mao Ruirui beat him to it.
How considerate of her.
Lin Yu nodded along:
"You’re right. Sorry again, Ruirui-jie."
"Would you mind... running with me in the mornings for the next few days?"
Mao Ruirui could hardly contain her delight.
Why would she refuse?
Suppressing her excitement, she replied as calmly as possible:
"H-how could that be trouble?"
"I run every morning anyway."
"It gets boring doing it alone after a while."
"And you’re so good at pacing and fitness—you could even give me some tips."
Her hands clasped behind her back, she rocked on her toes, her little movements betraying her feelings.
...
They jogged until 6:30,
Then headed to a nearby food street for a simple breakfast.
While eating,
Lin Yu began his daily wrap-up—lottery draws and shopping!
Opening the system interface:
[Sect Contribution: 880]
[Spirit Stones: 4700]
[Free Lottery Draws: 3]
He’d spent most of yesterday with Little Fufu,
Then had back-to-back battles in Ying’er’s room.
It did affect his Sect Contribution and Spirit Stones earnings.
But now,
With multiple trump cards up his sleeve,
A few slow days were no big deal.
In peaceful times like these,
Enjoying life at a leisurely pace was what he truly wanted.
During breakfast, he decided to try his luck with the lottery.
Seven virtual needles spun rapidly on the wheel.
As expected,
Six familiar rewards appeared on the screen:
[Forbidden Land Exploration Talisman ×2]
[Ghost Hand Talisman ×1]
[Red Tent Dragon-Tiger Pill ×1]
[Hundred Flowers Nectar ×2 bottles]
And one new skill:
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! You’ve obtained a secret technique: Fleeting Shadows!]
[Description: A single mirror captures the trials of the mortal world; half an inch of glass locks the vast universe. Past and present overlap, reality and illusion intertwine, forming a transcendent realm.]
After analyzing it carefully with the skill library’s help,
Lin Yu finally understood what this skill was—
An upgraded version of the [Mortal Reflection] skill he’d gotten from Da Chi!
In short,
It was top-tier photography skills!
With a camera, he could rival the eccentric Brother Guanxi.
[Mortal Reflection] had only allowed him to take decently angled photos.
Now, things were completely different.
He might even use it during his countryside outing with the antique-loving sister today!
After the lottery,
Lin Yu turned his attention to the shop.
4700 Spirit Stones.
Not enough for two pieces of furniture.
But that wasn’t all.
In the talisman section, a new item immediately caught his eye.
...
(Progress report on the "blacklist" revisions: Still not approved.
I’m starting to feel a bit drained. But new chapters are still coming out today.
Today’s biggest hurdle makes the road ahead seem even tougher:
[Ding!] [Congratulations, Host, for completing your first !] [ Dao Companion: Mo Shangying (Elder of the Formation Hall, traitor of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion)!] [Bound by fate, a perfect match— cultivation has reached the first level!]
Every time this system description appears, it gets flagged.
The reason? Can’t write "dual cultivation"?!
I thought the world had gone mad, so I opened the app and searched for those two words in other novels.
Nope, the world’s the same.
So, fine.
According to this standard, many other descriptions within the system, along with some props, may need to be revised and adjusted.
Some plot developments will also require corresponding changes.
Let’s try writing it out first and attempt to preserve some of the original flavor.
Sigh, back to editing—I’ll report the new progress to everyone tomorrow.)
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
