Mo Shangying had talked a big game, but before she actually made her move, she took a glance downward.
After that one look, her whole demeanor changed.
The situation didn't seem to be quite what she expected; it was a bit more serious than she had imagined, wasn't it?
"Little Yu..."
"Isn't this... a little too high?"
Lin Yu remained silent.
Why didn't you say it was high when you were climbing up there to hide?
Now you realize it's high?
What were you thinking before!
Lin Yu wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that whenever the residents of this apartment were involved in a game designed to prank him, they all displayed remarkable patience and fearlessness.
Physical pain? Life-threatening danger? All of that could be tossed aside!
"Sigh, Ying'er, look, Little Master clearly isn't willing to help you."
"Come on, just jump on Big Sister. It's okay even if you crush me to death!"
Xia Yiwei stood on the sidelines, fanning the flames and deliberately talking nonsense.
Did she really think Lin Yu couldn't hear the sarcasm in her voice?
"Alright, alright, move aside."
Helpless, Lin Yu had to step forward and plant his feet firmly.
He looked up at Ying'er, whose eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Did you ever climb out of windows when you were a kid?"
"Step on my shoulder first, then my hand. You need to hold onto the cabinet board up there tightly to keep your balance."
"Once one foot is steady, lower the other one. Got it?"
Lin Yu coached her step by step, terrified that Ying'er might slip up.
[Ding!]
[God-tier operation! The Holy Son's sincere care for his Dao Companion has made the Dao Companion feel deeply reassured!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
Xia Yiwei couldn't help but give a thumbs-up from the side, saying, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Truly our Little Master!"
"Willing to teach us everything you know, even skills like breaking and entering."
Lin Yu was speechless.
What sin had he committed in his past life to end up with two disciples like this!
Both of them had forced him to accept them as students, never asking if Lin Yu agreed or not.
Ying'er smiled and slowly, inch by inch, shimmied down.
With Lin Yu's help, she managed a safe landing!
"Hehe, Little Yu, congratulations on catching me and Sister Weiwei."
"Hand over your reward!"
The first thing Ying'er did upon landing was open her hand and demand a reward from Lin Yu.
Lin Yu really wanted to reward her with a flick to the forehead first.
He hadn't even asked for his birthday gift yet, but Ying'er was certainly proactive, demanding things from him first!
Seeing Lin Yu's speechlessness, Xia Yiwei waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's respect the rules. We'll bring out the birthday gifts first!"
"Ying'er, what are you giving him?"
"I'm actually quite curious about what you tech otakus give as gifts."
"Especially Ms. Zero, hahaha!"
Xia Yiwei was one of the very few early insiders regarding the truth about "Zero."
Lin Yu didn't even know how much she and Ying'er had chatted privately or how far they had gone in revealing their cards to each other.
Judging by how naturally they discussed it, it was definitely more than Lin Yu suspected.
"Da-da-da-daaa!!"
Ying'er fished around somewhere and pulled out a disc.
She held it in her hand triumphantly, displaying it to Lin Yu.
"Little Yu, this is the gift I meticulously prepared for you. A game called 'The Shared Apartment'!"
Lin Yu: "???"
A shared apartment game?
Combining Ying'er's personality with the excited, wicked smile on her face right now...
Lin Yu instantly realized exactly what genre this game was likely to be!
Before Lin Yu could say anything, the nurse sister spoke up first.
Xia Yiwei looked at the disc with surprise. "Shared apartment? Isn't that based on where we live?"
Ying'er snapped her fingers, confirming, "Sister Weiwei guessed right! It's based on our place!"
"Every one of us will appear in the game in a special form."
"How about it? Player Little Yu..."
"Are you looking forward to it?"
To say he wasn't looking forward to it would be a lie.
But Xia Yiwei was still standing there. Even if she wasn't, Lin Yu couldn't show that much excitement.
Otherwise, wouldn't his persona of being a "devoted man" turn into being "devoted to a group"?
Lin Yu tried his best to keep a straight face and replied, "It does sound interesting. I assume it's a slice-of-life game designed around our daily background?"
"I hope I can experience the same warm atmosphere as our apartment."
Lin Yu finished speaking.
He then watched, wide-eyed, as Xia Yiwei took out a fifty-yuan bill and handed it to Ying'er.
Lin Yu: "???"
Ying'er pocketed the money and laughed. "Hehe, Junior Sister Weiwei, I know Master best, don't I?"
"I told you Master is an expert at playing dumb. You have to trust me from now on."
Xia Yiwei mimicked Lin Yu's tone: "'I hope I can experience the same warm atmosphere,' tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"I really don't know what goes through Little Master's head, actually saying such pretentious things right to our faces."
Lin Yu: "..."
Mo Shangying: "Right? A game with one guy and a bunch of girls—what other style could it be?"
Xia Yiwei: "A slice-of-life game, hahaha! Does he think neither of us has ever played a dating sim?"
Lin Yu: "You two..."
Mo Shangying: "He clearly knows what's up, but our Master just has to pretend. I bet he's already picking favorites in his head!"
Xia Yiwei: "Sigh, exactly."
Mo Shangying: "Hehe, look, he's getting defensive."
Xia Yiwei: "Isn't he just?"
Mo Shangying: "If someone suddenly tells you there's a game with tons of girls, a normal guy's first thought is definitely: 'Can I date just one, or can I date them all?'"
Xia Yiwei: "That's the truth."
Lin Yu: "Alright! Put away your little comedy double-act."
If he let them keep talking, Lin Yu was absolutely going to lose his composure.
Was he acting that pretentious just now?
Surely not!
Xia Yiwei laughed enough, then finally took out a small gift box.
She was quite bold, opening it personally right in front of Lin Yu and Mo Shangying.
"Little Master, the thing I'm giving you pairs very well with Ying'er's game."
"If you play her game too much and start feeling physically tired, sleepy, or breaking out in cold sweats..."
"Those are all warning signals from your body!"
"When that happens, you open my little bottle and take one small pill..."
"You can only take one a day, max!"
"If you take too many, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."
Lin Yu: "???"
Is this girl for real?
She actually gave him "Vitality Enhancement Pills"?!
He was a college student, for crying out loud. Was it appropriate to receive this kind of gift?
Ying'er gave a thumbs-up from the side, exclaiming in admiration, "Sister Weiwei, that's a great gift! You went straight to the root of the problem!"
The two women raised their eyebrows at each other, their wicked smiles looking strikingly similar.

close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"

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?!

with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack.
