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.)

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.

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.”
