The Surprising Task Princess

[Ding!]

[Your handsome appearance has bridged the distance with your sect friends, further refining your charm!]

[Reward: 10 spirit stones]

Lin Yu felt smug.

So this is the advantage of being good-looking!

Chi Qingchi was lost in thought for a long while...

What’s going on with Lin Yu today?

Was it just her imagination?

Not only was his speech brighter and more cheerful, but where did this youthful, vibrant aura come from?

The contrast before and after his shower and change of clothes was huge!

It was like those transformation videos she often saw on Bilibili.

If she could get tall, fair-skinned Lin Yu to do a cosplay photoshoot, the views would definitely explode.

How had she never noticed before?

He had such a boy-next-door charm!

Snapping out of her daydream, Chi Qingchi suddenly realized—

Lin Yu’s face was less than twenty centimeters away from hers, staring at her while she zoned out.

"Eek!!"

Chi Qingchi jumped back in fright.

Like a startled dandelion, her fluffy skirt trembled slightly.

Lin Yu took in Chi Qingchi’s outfit.

That skirt was probably called... a lolita dress!

The white skirt was adorned with light pink floral patterns, puffy and adorable.

And it made her calves look even slimmer and straighter.

Her sheer white lace stockings clung to her skin like gossamer.

So delicate, so easy to tear—what a perfect pair.

"What... what are you doing suddenly getting so close? You scared me!"

Chi Qingchi patted her chest, still munching on her food.

Even when startled, she didn’t waste a single bite.

Lin Yu sauntered closer and countered,

"I was about to ask you the same thing. After calling my name, why were you staring at me with that silly grin?"

Chi Qingchi: "Nonsense, I wasn’t grinning!"

Lin Yu: "You were. I saw it clearly."

Chi Qingchi: "No way!"

Lin Yu: "You totally were."

Chi Qingchi: "I really wasn’t."

Lin Yu: "Then swear it. If you were grinning, may your tongue blister and you go a month without good food."

Chi Qingchi: "I swear... Lin Yu, you’re evil!"

Lin Yu (pointing like Donnie Yen): "Hah! See? You just admitted it."

The words stuck in Chi Qingchi’s throat.

After being grilled by Lin Yu, even she started doubting—had she really been grinning unconsciously while spacing out?

How embarrassing!

The awkwardness short-circuited her brain.

She didn’t even have time to wonder—

Since when was the usually shy, quiet Lin Yu so talkative?

Seizing the moment, Lin Yu casually draped an arm over her shoulder:

"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. Finish your meal."

Then—

A translucent info panel popped up again.

Easy win!

Lin Yu: "!!!"

Now it was his turn to be shocked.

Holy hell, a mission dispenser!

From Chen Qimeng to Chi Qingchi, Lin Yu had assumed he’d get one or two tasks at most.

But eight?!

Did this little otaku have so many wishes?

Scanning the list, aside from the pricey cosplay outfits, fulfilling the rest would be a breeze!

"Aha, caught you!"

"Now you’re the one eyeing me like a creep!"

"All drooly-faced..."

"Okay, ‘drooly’ is too much—more like a total lecher!"

Chi Qingchi seized the chance to fire back, completely unaware their banter was bordering on risqué.

Lin Yu remained unflustered, replying breezily:

"I just have an eye for beauty. What’s wrong with that?"

Chi Qingchi had been ready—if Lin Yu denied it, she’d insist he totally did, just like he’d done to her.

But she never expected...

Lin Yu would outright admit it?!

It felt like punching cotton... only for the cotton to punch back.

Soft, painless, even kinda nice?

[Ding!]

[Compliments are an effective shortcut on the path of Joyous Cultivation!]

[Reward: 10 spirit stones]

"Hmph, even if you say that, I won’t be happy."

Chi Qingchi turned away, diligently munching her pancake, cheeks puffed like a hamster.

Claiming she wasn’t pleased—

Little did she know, her true feelings were laid bare by the system.

Lin Yu mused aloud:

"True, this heat is unbearable. Nothing beats a cool ice cream cone from the KFC nearby..."

Chi Qingchi: "!"

Lin Yu: "Or some freshly fried golden chicken nuggets..."

Chi Qingchi: "!!"

Lin Yu: "Or an ice-cold cola. Ahh, perfection!"

Chi Qingchi: "!!!"

Three sentences in, he’d practically hooked Chi Qingchi like a fish.

Her pancake suddenly lost all appeal.

Her twitching expression screamed she might any second slam the table and yell "Same here!"

After a pause, Lin Yu pretended to leave, circling around the table behind her.

As expected—

Chi Qingchi’s gluttony won out...

"Lin Yu, can I come too?"

She looked up pleadingly, as if deeply wronged.

If this were his 20-year-old self from a past life, he’d have agreed instantly.

But now?

No way he’d let the little otaku off so easy.

Lin Yu: "Oh? Now it’s ‘Lin Yu’? Wasn’t I a lecher just now?"

Chi Qingchi: "Just kidding, don’t take it to heart."

Lin Yu sat down beside Chi Qingchi: "Taking you along to eat… isn’t entirely out of the question."

Chi Qingchi’s eyes lit up: "Really?!"

Lin Yu frowned: "But looking at you now, you don’t exactly have the attitude of someone asking for a favor, do you?"

Chi Qingchi’s eyes filled with confusion: "The attitude… of asking for a favor?"

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.
