After boarding the bus together,
Zhao Yuhao still took his usual seat by the window.
Lin Yu and Chi Qingchi settled into the back row.
Neither group exchanged many words afterward.
Instead, Xiao Chi (Chi Qingchi) and Lin Yu chatted quite a bit, discussing in detail who else they’d be picking up later.
For this comic convention event, Pingchuan University’s anime club had five cosplayers participating, including Lin Yu and Chi Qingchi.
Lin Yu was cosplaying as [Kaneki Ken] (Tokyo Ghoul).
Chi Qingchi was cosplaying as [Erina Nakiri] (Food Wars!).
The female club member Hehe was cosplaying as [Mirai Kuriyama] (Beyond the Boundary).
Jiajia was cosplaying as [Rikka Takanashi] (Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions).
And Huanhuan was cosplaying as [Yuno Gasai] (Future Diary).
Aside from the cosplayers,
a band formed by club members (two guys and three girls) had signed up for the live performance segment.
Including the vice president Zhao Yuhao, eleven people in total were heading to the venue—quite a sizable group.
After a brief chat with Lin Yu, Chi Qingchi pulled out her laptop.
She meticulously checked the audio files, background MVs, and other materials needed for the band’s performance.
Lin Yu watched the MV alongside her, impressed by the club band’s skills.
The song they were performing had a strong connection to Lin Yu’s character—
It was the opening theme from Tokyo Ghoul… Unravel!
That famously catchy "Oshiete yo~ oshiete yo~" song!
What amazed Lin Yu even more was that they weren’t using the original version, but a fan-made "Quad-Language Edition" by a cover artist.
The lyrics embedded in the MV cycled through Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and English—making it an incredibly challenging performance.
Lin Yu also noticed numerous Adobe Premiere project files on Xiao Chi’s desktop,
indicating she’d done a fair amount of editing work beforehand.
"Xiao Chi, did you edit this MV?" Lin Yu asked curiously.
Chi Qingchi nodded proudly, tilting the screen toward him.
"Hehe, pretty good, right? I aced my video editing class!"
"Today’s performance is definitely gonna win the con’s gold prize!"
Lin Yu examined the MV, which was cut using footage from Tokyo Ghoul.
The timing and emotional buildup were handled masterfully—
the kind of polished edit that would rack up serious views if uploaded online.
"Damn, you’ve got skills!"
"How come I never noticed this talent during class assignments?"
"What was your class ranking again…?"
Lin Yu tried hard to recall.
How could he remember details from his past life that clearly?
He only knew Da Chi (Chi Qingchi’s sister) was the undisputed top student, consistently ranking first every semester—
a shoo-in for the national scholarship.
But Xiao Chi?
She hovered somewhere in the middle-to-lower range,
even trailing behind Lin Yu by a bit.
In his past life, Lin Yu had wondered:
How could two sisters, raised in the same environment,
have such a gap in academic performance?
Chi Qingchi immediately pouted and pulled her laptop back.
"Pfft, Mr. Smooth-Talker Lin, it’s not like there’s a huge difference between us!"
"Anyway, you’ve got your work cut out for you today—lots of people will want photos."
"Who knows? You might even go viral and blow up online!"
"We still have about fifty minutes until we reach the venue. If you're tired, you can take a nap first."
Though her tone was grumbling,
Chi Qingchi was still sincerely considering Lin Yu's well-being.
She even reminded him to rest so he wouldn't be too exhausted for the day-long convention.
Lin Yu flashed an "OK" sign, temporarily pausing their conversation.
By the time they arrived at the venue, it would be past seven.
The day's "fatigue meter" would reset by then.
But before that, there was an important daily task that had to be completed on time—
Gacha pulls and shopping!
Lin Yu eagerly opened the system interface.
An unusual notification abruptly popped up.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! You’ve been granted the opportunity to become the acting sect leader of the Joyous Sect!]
[The Saint’s selfless contributions have been remembered by all sect members, earning you this rare chance!]
[To become the acting sect leader, you must dedicate more to the sect and gather additional resources. Requirements as follows…]
[Cost: 10,000 sect contribution points, 50,000 spirit stones.]
Lin Yu: "???"
What the hell?!
Were they treating him like some fool to be scammed?
And now they wanted him to buy his way into a leadership position?!
Previous promotions had never pulled this kind of stunt.
Was climbing the ranks really this difficult?
Lin Yu checked his accumulated stats:
[Sect Contribution: 1,280]
[Spirit Stones: 5,870]
At his current maximum grinding speed, it’d take at least three or four days to gather the required amounts.
He took a deep breath, forcing down his frustration.
Other than quietly accepting it, there didn’t seem to be a better option.
After all, this was the "acting sect leader" role—replacing Aunt Qimeng’s position.
If it were too easy, it’d probably be less fun.
For the first time, Lin Yu truly understood the saying, "You never miss the money till it’s needed."
Right now, he desperately wished for a high-reward quest to drop from the sky so he could grind it all in one go.
And if he really became acting sect leader…
What would Aunt Qimeng’s new title be?
Acting Sect Leader’s Wife?
Just the thought made him a little excited.
……
"Boom!"
"Rumble…"
Halfway through the journey,
Pingchuan City, already blanketed in dark clouds, was now drenched in heavy rain.
The minibus stopped at each station to pick up more passengers, gradually filling up.
What impressed Lin Yu the most was still the vice president—"Brother Hao"!
It wasn’t just him and Chi Qingchi who received special treatment.
Zhao Yuhao would personally step out to greet every member, helping them with their belongings.
And judging by the members’ reactions, this wasn’t unusual at all.
It was just how he operated.
No wonder he’d become vice president—the man clearly had skills.
He genuinely took care of everyone in the club.
Sigh.
What a shame, though.
Here was a "good president," dedicating himself to the club…
Yet love had led him astray, turning him into an "outcast cultivator."
If only he could break free sooner, maybe he’d find peace.
As more members boarded, Lin Yu couldn’t help but marvel…
Joining the anime club at Pingchuan University was definitely the right choice!
So many adorable girls!
Even if their natural looks weren’t top-tier, once they slipped into their favorite "skins," they all gained an instant +20 charm boost.
Regrets, regrets...
Back in my freshman year of college, why didn’t I join a club to liven up my social life?
These girls, chattering about anime and internet slang, weren’t nearly as reclusive as they seemed.
The moment they met Lin Yu—especially after learning he’d be cosplaying as Kaneki Ken—their enthusiasm went through the roof.
"Lin Yu, you’ve really never cosplayed before? With looks like yours?"
"Senior Lin Yu, I’m in Broadcasting too! Just finished my first year—we’re practically academic siblings!"
"Wow, Xiao Yu! You’re in the same class as Xiao Chi? You edit videos too? Damn, you’re legit!"
"..."
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!
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
