The name of this board game sounds kinda familiar?
And you also have a nickname—Lu Zhanbo?
When Ying'er mentioned the name, Lin Yu already had a mental image.
In his memory, this board game was notorious for putting every player—except the "God" (game master)—through the wringer with tricky questions and brutal punishments!
While others split the earth, Ying'er split the Three Kingdoms!
Seeing Lin Yu's reaction, Ying'er knew he must be thinking of the "original board game" from that TV show.
She quickly clarified:
"Little Yu, it's not like the game from that rom-com drama you're imagining!"
"That game had zero logic in its mechanics, but mine is perfectly balanced!"
"Little Fufu handled the card illustrations;"
"Little Qingchi tested the gameplay;"
"Little Qingshui advised on the Three Kingdoms historical setting;"
"Sister Yaoyao gave input on character skills;"
"Sister Weiwei guided the item and potion designs;"
"Sister Ruirui prototyped the mounts and pets;"
"And Teacher Tang personally wrote all the text!"
"This is a board game our whole apartment collaborated on—its balance, gameplay, and fun factor are through the roof!"
Lin Yu: "???"
So his cultivation partners secretly developed a game behind his back?
Since when?!
Come to think of it…
The only ones left in the dark about this game were…
Him and Aunt Qimeng?
Right then, Aunt Qimeng walked over with the final dish, cheerfully saying:
"Little Yu, let Ying'er have her turn playing God."
"She worked hard on this game—I've read the rulebook many times."
"It's… admittedly complicated."
"But Ying'er promised even clueless newbies can join."
Mo Shangying: "Sister Qimeng, it's 'God,' not 'Heavenly Lord.'"
Chen Qimeng: "Right, right, I keep forgetting."
Lin Yu: "???"
Even Aunt Qimeng knew about it?
Before his rebirth, he really was the apartment's ultimate outsider.
Everyone contributed to designing this game…
Except him.
Talk about being useless!
"Alright, fine, I don’t mind playing."
"So I’m the only one—plus the newcomers—who didn’t know?"
Ying'er shook her head with a mischievous grin:
"Little Yu, to be precise…"
"While you were filming assignments with the Chi sisters, I already roped the newcomers into my game too."
"Oh! Right, right—Aunt Ruxue is just as clueless as you!"
Du Ruxue took the dish from Chen Qimeng and placed it on the crowded dining table.
As she untied her apron, she remarked:
"No worries. Didn’t Mengmeng say unclear rules aren’t a problem?"
"I’m actually excited to play. What kind of game is it?"
"Card game? Drinking game? Truth or Dare? Faction strategy? Or cops and robbers?"
Chen Qimeng gasped in admiration:
"Wow, Mengmeng, how do you know so many games?"
"Do you even have time for gaming while running a company?"
"Are you sure you’re properly managing things?"
Lin Yu nearly gave Aunt Qimeng a thumbs-up.
Exactly!
That’s what he wanted to ask!
Why’s a busy businesswoman studying games?
Still, it was clear Aunt Qimeng felt completely at ease around Du Ruxue.
Even with her mistaken "best friend" He Jing before, she’d never teased or mocked her.
Only with true friends could she be this unrestrained.
Honestly…
Lin Yu felt relieved seeing Aunt Qimeng had such companionship.
Ying'er grew even more animated at Du Ruxue’s response:
"Whoa!!"
"Sister Ruxue, you’re so knowledgeable!"
"My game literally has every mechanic you just listed!"
"Hehe, it’s the ultimate fusion—16 online games, 16 board games, and 16 nightclub games!"
"Guaranteed addictive—you’ll beg for more!"
Du Ruxue’s gaze flicked to Lin Yu.
Without hesitation, she agreed:
"Such an impressive game? I’d love to try it."
"If everyone’s in, so am I."
By "everyone"...
No one seemed opposed.
They were just waiting for Lin Yu’s final approval.
Now Lin Yu understood where Maomao’s competitive streak came from.
That look Du Ruxue gave him? Pure provocation.
Shouldn’t she still see him as "just a kid"?
Why’s she picking fights with a child?!
But Lin Yu wasn’t one to ruin the mood.
He told Ying'er:
"At least let me see the rulebook first?"
[Ding!]
[Masterstroke! The Holy Son’s support for his cultivation partners’ "array research" thrills them!]
[Reward: 50 spirit stones]
Ying'er literally jumped for joy, grabbing her phone:
"Yesss!!"
"Let’s make a game group chat!"
"This’ll be the first time over a dozen people play my game together!"
"I’m so pumped—it’s like my award ceremony!"
"I’ll post the rules in the group. Everyone can skim during dinner."
"But no pressure! Just follow my lead as God when we play!"
For Ying'er’s sake alone, Lin Yu had to agree.
As everyone settled around the extended table, the sheer size of the gathering became undeniable.
Seating arrangement:
(Tea table side) Lin Yu, Chen Qimeng, Du Ruxue, Maomao;
Chi Qingshui (dishes) (dishes) (dishes) (dishes) Mo Shangying;
Chi Qingchi (dishes) (dishes) (dishes) (dishes) Ye Mengfu;
Tang Yimian (dishes) (dishes) (dishes) (dishes) Mao Ruirui;
Fang Xinran (dishes) (dishes) (dishes) (dishes) Chang Xiaoxiao;
Xia Yiwei, Xia Xiashan, Shen Jiuyi, Shen Buyao, Huang Feirong!
Including Lin Yu, seventeen people attended—a rare sight even for corporate events.
Though Du Ruxue’s arrival added unpredictability…
Surveying the sixteen sect sisters and candidates, Lin Yu couldn’t help feeling a little… excited!
...

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?!
