Opening Fang Xinran’s chat window.
A seemingly ordinary message, yet it set Lin Yu’s mind racing.
“Fang Xinran: Lin, are you asleep?”
Lin Yu: “...”
Could it be that if he replied, Fang would launch into another round of those cringe-worthy dad jokes?
Ignoring it outright would be a bit rude.
After all, who actually goes to bed before midnight these days?
Besides, it’s about showing some respect.
She’s a colleague of Senior Tang Yimian and seems to have a good relationship with her.
Being too cold toward her wouldn’t look good.
What if Tang Yimian ever finds out? It’d be awkward.
Lin Yu prided himself on being considerate like that.
After a moment’s thought.
“Lin Yu: Not asleep yet (grinning)”
“Lin Yu: Found any good jokes today?”
Rather than waiting to be roasted, better to take the initiative and give Fang Xinran a chance to show off.
At least that way, when the jokes inevitably make him cringe, he’d feel a little better about it.
“Fang Xinran: I’m about to sleep now. Get some rest, Lin. Good night.”
Lin Yu: “???”
What the heck?!
This girl’s messing with his mind late at night?
Is she trying to mess with his head?
“Ding dong!”
Right then, Lin Yu’s phone buzzed again.
“Fang Xinran: How about this joke? Let me see if I fooled you into thinking I was really going to sleep.”
Lin Yu stared at the screen: “!!!”
She must have been soaking in too many soup dramas today, his IQ temporarily dropped.
It had to be that!
If he didn’t comfort himself with that thought, he felt like his brain had just been brutally tortured.
The kind of torture where someone drags you up a tree on the street for no reason!
He’d seen similar hellish prank replies online before.
But never in real life.
Fang Xinran was definitely the first!
If she were standing in front of him right now, Lin Yu honestly wanted to grab her by the collar.
Sentence her on the spot: a thousand brain pops!
While popping, he’d ask:
“You think you’re funny, huh? Tell me, am I laughing or not?”
“Ding dong!”
Suppressing the urge to complain, Lin Yu opened the next long message.
“Fang Xinran: Lin, do you have time tomorrow night to take a look at my prose? I heard from Yimian that you have great writing skills and are happy to help. I’ll be staying at Yimian’s place for one night tomorrow. If it’s convenient, I hope you can come by and give me some pointers.”
Lin Yu: “???”
Fang Xinran’s coming to stay at the apartment tomorrow?
Another literature lover!
And this time, she’s into prose!
Does she really think online writers are literary gods?
Tonight, he’d gone out late with Aunt Qimeng.
So late that he had to bail on his “online writing tutoring” session with Tang Yimian.
The previous two tutoring sessions had been scheduled too tightly.
Tang Yimian was starting to get a little wary.
Stretching out the schedule a bit to give her some breathing room was a good move.
Unexpectedly, before he even finished teaching one student,
Tang Yimian had already introduced him to a “new student”!
The key point is... what the heck does he know about prose?
"Lin Yu: Senior Fang, it’s not that I don’t have time, it’s just that I haven’t really dealt with prose before."
Instead of beating around the bush, it’d be better to just be honest.
If you don’t know, you just don’t know.
However.
What’s clear to normal people might not be so to others.
"Fang Xinran: Just like Sister Mianmian said, be humble. So you’re free tomorrow night, right?"
Lin Yu: "..."
He says he kills without batting an eye, and she asks if his eyes feel dry?
Is that the point of his words?
Only paying attention to what you want to focus on, and automatically censoring the rest, huh?
She really knows how to switch faces!
"Lin Yu: Yes, I’m free. Getting together to chat about something else is fine, but prose is really beyond me."
"Fang Xinran: Great! How about nine o’clock tomorrow night?"
Lin Yu: "..."
Did she even see the second half of his sentence?
Why is she still saying “Great” and all?
...
After exchanging some polite words with Fang Xinran, Lin Yu spent another half hour chatting with Aunt Qi Meng.
After saying goodnight to each other,
Lin Yu started his bedtime ritual.
Choosing tonight’s dream targets!
After opening the Dream Entry Skill interface,
Lin Yu was pleasantly surprised to discover...
【Ding!】
【Congratulations, host! After continuous practice of the Dream Entry Technique, your skill level has increased...】
【Dream Entry Technique (Intermediate) → Dream Entry Technique (Advanced)!】
【Advanced Dream Entry Technique allows +2 dream targets per night!】
【New Skill Effect: Rule Nullification!】
(Warm reminder: The story will no longer fully describe all four dreams each night; it will still focus on two key dreams, while briefly summarizing the other two to avoid slowing down the pace of the real world. Thank you for understanding.)
Woohoo~ The four-person night dream mode god skill is here!
And it even added a new effect, with detailed explanations included.
Lin Yu quickly skimmed through it and summarized the characteristics of the new effect.
Rule Constraints!
This refers to things like Nurse Sister forcibly declaring Lin Yu insane,
or Xiao Chi forcibly trapping him in the black mist on the boss chair.
These are all examples of dream rule constraints.
Upgrading to the advanced version of Dream Entry Technique means ignoring these constraints.
You can freely “be yourself” even inside the dream world.
With this brand-new version upgrade, Lin Yu has taken another big step toward becoming the true King of Nightmares.
When it came to choosing the four participants,
Lin Yu barely hesitated on the first pick...
Nurse Sister, Xia Yiwei!
Last time, in her dream world, Lin Yu was thoroughly "humiliated."
As an adult male, being told he’s no good?
Absolutely unacceptable, and something he must make up for!
【Ding!】
【Advanced Dream Entry Technique activated (four-person mode)!】
【Tonight, the host will encounter the Elders of the Spirit Medicine Hall and the Martial Arts Disciple (Xia Yiwei) in the dream; please choose the appropriate dream type!】
【1. Secretly filmed cuddling with Lin Yu, caught red-handed!】
【2. Beat up the big sister, showing off the glory of the sect!】
【3. Medical treatment at home, continuation of an embarrassing condition!】
【4. Speed racing competition, little master, how do you use items?】
【5. None of the above, random dream!】
Lin Yu: "???"
He carefully looked over the dream types for Nurse Sister.
There are quite a few things worth complaining about!
Little did he know, Xia Yiwei actually enjoys sneaking photos in secret.
And what’s this about using power-ups in a racing competition? Are we playing some kind of crazy car chase game here?
If it weren’t for the chance to “avenge past humiliations,”
Lin Yu really wanted to see how good Nurse Sister’s photography skills were.
To prove himself,
Lin Yu still chose Dreamland Three!

(Here’s an extra chapter for you all. I’ll keep grinding tomorrow. While you’re busy making your daily fortune, I hope you can spare a moment to give a like and support this free work powered by love. Much appreciated!)
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?!
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!
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?
