Void Array Talisman, Xiao Chi Asking for a Favor

【——Talismans and Spells——】

【(Void Formation Talisman) Price: 2000】

【(Void Formation Talisman) Price: 2000】

【Available Spirit Stones: 4700】

Void Formation?

Ying'er, due to her mastery of computer technology, was appointed as the "Elder of the Formation Hall."

So, the meaning of Void Formation…

Could it be what Lin Yu was imagining?

The appearance of this new item.

Made Lin Yu, who couldn’t afford bedroom luxuries, entertain some unusual thoughts.

【Ding! Successfully purchased the Void Formation Talisman!】

【Void Formation Talisman (Single-use Item)】

【Description: Divine networks weave scripts without ink, void arrays unfold the cosmos. A fleeting thought holds countless tomes, a mustard seed contains eternity.】

With only two talismans in hand, Lin Yu couldn’t bear to waste one carelessly.

From the description alone.

He could roughly deduce that this seemed to be…

A virtual computer?!

If that were truly the case.

With his current Heavenly and Earthly Formation, going out would become much more convenient.

While phones could handle many tasks, they still couldn’t compare to computers.

When the time was right, he’d test the talisman to confirm.

……

After breakfast.

Lin Yu and Mao Ruirui returned to the apartment together.

Mao Ruirui went upstairs to tidy up and left early with her puppy for the pet store.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu stayed on the first floor to prepare breakfast for the entire apartment.

The morning menu featured 【Breeze Noodles】, perfect for a summer morning.

At the same time.

Lin Yu took out his phone and sent messages to all his roommates except Mao Ruirui.

He’d adjust the portions based on the number of replies.

【Ding!】

【A masterstroke! The Saint’s morning greetings moved his companions deeply!】

【Reward: 50 Spirit Stones】

【Ding!】

【A masterstroke…】

【Ding!】

【A masterstroke…】

【…】

A continuous stream of system notifications chimed one after another as Lin Yu sent the messages.

By now.

Earning small amounts of Spirit Stones no longer required much effort.

Simple daily greetings were more effective than anything else.

The first to reply were:

Aunt Qimeng, Ye Mengfu, and the Chi sisters.

They responded with a yes within seconds.

Next.

Were Tang Yimian, Xia Yiwei, and Maomao, who replied within a minute.

After fifteen minutes.

There was still no response from the Shen sisters or Mo Shangying.

Likely, the night owls were still fast asleep.

【Ding!】

【Today is another hopeful day!】

【Continue exploring the Path of Joyful Union, host~ Strive to become the pillar of the Joyous Sect!】

Today’s personal system interface.

Remained unchanged from yesterday, aside from minor updates in the companion section.

The 【Saint】 rank in the sect wasn’t so easily surpassed.

He’d been stuck at this rank for over three days.

To break through.

He’d need to focus on the highest-ranking figure in the sect.

Winning over the acting sect leader became Lin Yu’s next goal.

As for today’s tasks.

Only the usual daily quests had refreshed.

None of his companions had triggered any special missions.

Lin Yu wasn’t in a hurry.

During breakfast, he could casually browse everyone’s task lists.

Gathering them all was the most efficient way to handle things today.

Most of Sunday would be spent with the antique-loving sister.

What he did with the remaining time depended on the difficulty of the tasks assigned by his sect friends.

“Thud, thud, thud…”

Just as Lin Yu finished prepping the noodles for the Breeze Noodles.

Hurried footsteps echoed from outside the kitchen.

“Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin!”

“Need help? I can lend a hand!”

Chi Qingchi, dressed in a striking pink lolita dress, rushed into the kitchen with eye-catching flair.

Lin Yu gave her a once-over and couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.

Only Xiao Chi could pull off such an extravagant outfit.

On anyone else, it would’ve looked more awkward than stylish.

He expected her older sister, Da Chi, to follow, but a quick glance confirmed Xiao Chi had come alone.

“All dressed up this early, Xiao Chi—got plans today?”

Lin Yu asked curiously.

Chi Qingchi nodded with a sly grin, sidling up to the flour-covered counter.

“Yep, yep, heading out soon.”

Lin Yu eyed her suspiciously.

Something was off about Xiao Chi today!

What otaku would disregard their precious dress?

Why would she willingly step into a flour-dusted kitchen, a “danger zone” for outfits?

Even if tempted by delicious food.

She’d usually just chat from a safe distance—after all, Lin Yu had invited everyone.

There was no way he’d exclude her.

Her current behavior…

Suggested she had a favor to ask!

Immediately.

Lin Yu pulled up Xiao Chi’s info panel to confirm his suspicions.

【Chi Qingchi (Bell Bearer of the Joyous Sect)】

【Ghost Mask Gathering (Urgent TaskNew): The Bell Bearer of the Joyous Sect will soon gather with “Ghost Mask” enthusiasts from all walks of life. Currently in urgent need of a male Ghost Mask character (for a cosplay event).】

Just as he thought.

She really did need his help!

She wanted him to join the cosplay event.

Hence, the sudden enthusiasm made sense.

Lin Yu didn’t bring it up first—he wanted to see how long Xiao Chi could hold out.

Since she was eager to help, fine…

“Xiao Chi, morning. Perfect timing.”

“I was just worrying about having no one to chop the scallions.”

“Since you’re free, wanna lend a hand?”

“For this many servings, we’ll need at least two scallions.”

“Looking at these, they’re a bit small—better make it three!”

Chi Qingchi’s eyes widened: “!!!”

It wasn’t that chopping scallions was hard.

But… the smell!

She’d woken up early because today was the rehearsal for an upcoming cosplay event.

Many from Pingchuan University’s anime club were participating, and Chi Qingchi, as usual, was among them.

In fact, she’d even taken on an organizer role.

Normally, it wouldn’t be a problem.

She was a self-proclaimed “foodie,” after all.

A little food scent was nothing unusual.

But today.

She’d be meeting club members, staff, and fellow cosplayers…

If she reeked of scallions?

Her pristine image would be ruined!
