When stepping out in the morning, it was still the third personality.
Lin Yu had indeed earned Lin Yu quite a bit of experience points.
Just now, when Lin Yu greeted her, the way she smiled and nodded in acknowledgment...
It didn’t seem like she was upset about what happened earlier at all.
Had the personality switched again?
Lin Yu walked over to Aunt Du Ruxue and cautiously struck up a conversation:
“Aunt Ruxue, have you studied flower arrangement before? These look really well done.”
Du Ruxue paused what she was doing and lifted the vase.
Turning to Lin Yu, she said:
“Do they really look nice? I’m not sure how good my work actually is.”
“Lin, how was your interaction with your classmates today?”
The way she called him “Lin,” paired with that genuine smile—
For a fleeting moment—
Lin Yu felt like he was seeing the youthful Du Ruxue from his dreams!
Was... was this another one of her personalities?
In the virtual version of Aunt Ruxue, this side of her had never been portrayed.
Yet, the next instant—
Lin Yu’s fantasy shattered completely, crumbling into dust.
Du Ruxue’s smile remained, but she set the vase back down with one hand.
Teasingly, she continued:
“Alright, Xiao Yu, I know you’re just flattering me.”
“Spending every day by Mengmeng’s side, how could you not know what good flower arrangements look like?”
“My pitiful work is barely passable.”
Lin Yu: “...”
He hadn’t said anything of the sort!
That was entirely Du Ruxue’s own assumption.
Before Lin Yu could explain, Du Ruxue sat on a high stool and tapped the empty seat beside her, signaling for him to join her.
Lin Yu took the seat.
Du Ruxue spoke first:
“I checked Mengmeng’s flower shop’s mobile webpage—it’s quite rough.”
“Doesn’t seem like your work. Was it... Ying’er from the apartment, right?”
Lin Yu: “...”
Alright.
No need to guess which personality this was!
The combative tone was unmistakable.
The shrewd and cunning Aunt Ruxue was back.
Ever since Du Ruxue had dropped subtle hints at home,
Lin Yu knew this confrontation would come sooner or later.
So, he’d already mentally prepared what to say when the time came.
The reason Du Ruxue had appeared in Pingchuan City so quickly—
Wasn’t it because her last failure had deeply unsettled her?
Otherwise,
Her urgent mission wouldn’t have been to identify the [Enemy of the Love Trap].
Du Ruxue and Ying’er had already spent a night together.
If he kept blaming Ying’er for the incident where Aunt Ruxue lost face online,
She wouldn’t buy it.
In that case, the best approach was...
“The webpage for Aunt Qimeng’s flower shop was indeed made by Ying’er.”
“Aunt Ruxue, you know me.”
“If it were me...”
“I’d have made it even simpler, with a more user-friendly backend.”
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! You’ve successfully completed the urgent mission “Enemy of the Love Trap”!]
[The Holy Maiden of the Joyous Sect has officially confirmed the enemy’s identity!]
[Rewards: 200 Sect Contribution Points, 400 Spirit Stones, 1 free system store draw.]
Lin Yu: “...”
So meticulous.
Yesterday’s hints hadn’t been enough.
She wouldn’t consider the mission fully accomplished until Lin Yu admitted it outright.
As for this,
Du Ruxue had already anticipated it and wasn’t too surprised.
From the moment she began speaking, deliberately lowering her voice,
Lin Yu knew this was a conversation meant only for the two of them.
“Among Maomao’s peers, Ying’er alone was already surprising enough.”
“But discovering your existence the other day—that truly left me in awe!”
“Xiao Yu, are you self-taught?”
“Yesterday, I talked with Mengmeng late into the night about you and your computer skills...”
“All she knew was that you frequent internet cafes!”
“Do internet cafes really train skills that well?”
Du Ruxue couldn’t wrap her head around it.
Lin Yu was barely twenty.
And he wasn’t even majoring in computer science.
Ying’er’s records at least showed she’d displayed talent early on.
Lin Yu’s records...
Du Ruxue had none!
She could only speculate based on her own judgment.
No matter how she looked at it,
Lin Yu didn’t seem like someone who’d had the opportunity to master such advanced networking skills.
This line of questioning was also within Lin Yu’s expectations.
If Aunt Ruxue hadn’t been curious, that would’ve been the real anomaly.
Lin Yu grabbed a nearby lemon water bottle and pulled out two paper cups.
He poured a glass for himself and one for Aunt Ruxue.
Talking without a drink was too dry.
“I really am self-taught, and I’ve never competed in any contests.”
“I don’t have a clear sense of my own skill level, but after interacting with Ying’er...”
“I can tell I’m slightly better than her.”
“The person who hacked the apartment’s network that day was you, right, Aunt Ruxue?”
Du Ruxue smiled calmly:
“Why ask when you already know the answer?”
“Xiao Yu, would you like to work at my company?”
Du Ruxue’s first reaction to encountering “talent” differed slightly from Maomao’s.
Instead of immediately challenging him to a duel—
She went straight to recruitment!
Adults really were more pragmatic.
No wonder Du Ruxue could run a company.
Lin Yu neither refused nor accepted.
He answered earnestly:
“Aunt Ruxue, thank you for the opportunity.”
“Let’s talk after I graduate. I haven’t figured out what I want to do in the future yet.”
Du Ruxue pulled out a USB drive and slid it toward Lin Yu.
Lin Yu: “???”
What was this?
Not a business card, not a bank card—
But a USB drive?
And...
Where had she even pulled it from?!
Aunt Ruxue was wearing a skirt, wasn’t she?
Do all female hackers have secret hiding spots for their gadgets?!
Uploaded to the cloud or something?
Lin Yu: “What’s this?”
Du Ruxue: “What? Scared? Worried I might do something to you?”
Lin Yu: “Not at all. If you tried anything, I’d notice.”
Faced with Lin Yu’s bold claim, Du Ruxue didn’t take offense.
Instead, she continued:
“Consider it a gift—for my good friend’s nephew, for Maomao’s friend.”
“Inside are some valuable serial codes. If you ever decide to join my company, or...”
“Well, now’s not the time to open it.”
Lin Yu: “...”
What kind of gift was this?!
Giving a gift but not allowing it to be opened—
Might as well not have given it at all.
Lin Yu examined the USB drive:
“Then when is the right time to open it?”
Du Ruxue replied:
“After I leave Pingchuan City.”
Lin Yu really wanted to ask:
And when exactly are you leaving Pingchuan?
But that—
Sounded a bit too impolite.
He pocketed the USB drive and moved on to another question that had been on his mind.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
