"I'll give it a try."
Listening to Lin Yu's words, Xiao Fufu once again stepped out from behind cover.
This time, she wasn't in a hurry to rush out. Instead, she recalled what Lin Yu had said.
She quickly peeked out just a little. The moment she noticed the crosshair turn red, she immediately fired a shot.
Then,
without waiting to see if she had hit, she swiftly darted back behind the crate.
The golden "Headshot" indicator appeared on the computer screen!
And that wasn't all.
Xiao Fufu almost without pause, began repeating the same maneuver.
Second shot!
No target found—she fired into empty air.
Third shot!
Another silver "Headshot" indicator flashed!
[Ding!]
[Heavenly display of skill! The Saint's selfless and meticulous guidance has moved his Dao Companion's heart profoundly!]
[Reward: 80 Spirit Stones.]
Lin Yu: "..."
Hearing the system's notification,
Lin Yu felt almost unworthy of the reward.
He had merely offered a couple of simple pointers, things anyone familiar with the game would know.
But knowing something and actually executing it are two completely different things.
Who can truly achieve perfect unity of thought and action?
Xiao Fufu controlled her character, hiding safely behind the crate.
She immediately turned her head to look at Lin Yu and said,
"It... it really works!"
"Thank you... that was, amazing."
Her admiring gaze made Lin Yu feel a bit embarrassed.
Lin Yu tried asking again:
"Xiao Fufu, when you fire, is it based on a feeling, a sense that you saw something?"
"Or do your eyes truly see it before you shoot?"
The two are completely different.
The former relies heavily on luck.
The latter is the perfect fusion of vision and conscious control.
Xiao Fufu replied very calmly:
"I just... saw it, so... I fired."
"Isn't that... how you're supposed to play this game?"
Mo Shangying, who had been listening nearby, immediately understood what Lin Yu was getting at.
She laughed and said:
"Master, no need to ask any further."
"Xiao Fufu is a rare gaming genius. I've known that for a long time."
"She can pick up any game really quickly, you know."
"It's just that she doesn't really like playing games herself. If I didn't keep asking her to play with me, she'd never think of gaming."
Mo Shangying provided a clear explanation of the situation,
saving Lin Yu from having to speculate further.
This obvious fact was something Mo Shangying had verified many times over.
Every time, with every game.
The answer was always the same!
Ye Mengfu (Xiao Fufu) dove back into the game, not daring to respond to Mo Shangying's praise.
Faced with compliments, she would only blush and avoid the topic, never knowing how to reply.
Lin Yu gave a thumbs-up, marveling at Xiao Fufu's all-around talent.
...
5:00 AM.
The group, breathing in the cool early morning air, filed one by one into the apartment.
The overnight session at the internet cafe was supposed to end at 7:00 AM.
Because they had booked the whole place, the owner had kindly extended it until 10:00 AM.
Forget the extra hours as a bonus;
the fact that this crew had lasted until 5:00 AM was already a miracle.
Most of them didn't have much stamina for all-nighters.
They had persevered until their energy was completely spent, purely out of respect for Lin Yu.
How could Lin Yu just stand by and watch everyone slump over the cafe tables in a row?
So,
in the end, it was he who suggested they head back to get some rest.
He told everyone if they had nothing urgent tomorrow, they could sleep in.
If anyone had pressing matters or needed help with something, they could post in the group, and those with time could lend a hand.
Finding a group of friends who support and help each other was truly a great gain.
Lin Yu used to think the apartment was quite spacious.
But after the last couple of gatherings, he realized it wasn't that big after all—it even felt a bit small.
To accommodate everyone at once, a few people had to squeeze in together.
The first thing upon returning to the apartment, Lin Yu and Auntie Qimeng started assigning rooms to everyone.
Naturally, people who knew each other well tried to squeeze into the same rooms where possible.
After sorting everything out, only Qimeng and Lin Yu remained.
Before heading off to rest,
Chen Qimeng specifically found Lin Yu to ask:
"Xiao Yu, tomorrow is the first day of your project shoot."
"Staying out so late tonight, are you sure it won't affect your plans?"
"If there's anything I can help you with tomorrow, please don't hesitate to tell me."
"The flower shop isn't too busy tomorrow, I can make time whenever."
As she said this, Chen Qimeng was filled with concern about Lin Yu's school project.
She knew that his summer semester project was tied to academic credits.
Starting the first day utterly exhausted could easily lead to problems.
Lin Yu, however, showed no sign of worry and replied directly:
"Qimeng, do I look like I'm out of energy?"
"The shoot is at 1:00 PM tomorrow. It's fine, there's plenty of time to catch up on sleep."
"It's you I'm worried about. You didn't get much sleep time today. Please don't overwork yourself tomorrow."
"And finally..."
"Thank you, Qimeng!"
"For letting me spend an unforgettable birthday in our home."
"This will be the most beautiful memory of my life!"
As he spoke,
Lin Yu gave Auntie Qimeng a light hug.
While it seemed like everyone had worked together to make the birthday party happen,
in reality,
without Auntie Qimeng's initial organization, there wouldn't have been such a perfect birthday celebration later.
At its source,
it was she who had made Lin Yu feel like a king for a day.
Chen Qimeng hugged him back.
Unconsciously,
while sharing this embrace, Chen Qimeng realized she was no longer nervous like she had been at first.
Instead, she felt a deep sense of peace, savoring this moment.
This is what family means:
to be by each other's side, to make each other feel warmth,
and to sense the same feeling reflected in the other's actions.
Back in his own room,
Lin Yu, for the first time, did not activate the Dreamwalk Technique.
Since obtaining the technique, this was the first time he hadn't initiated it on purpose.
It was mainly because he saw how exhausted and worn out everyone was.
He didn't want any of them, having finally fallen into a deep sleep, to be disturbed and awakened by dreams.
Today, Lin Yu had already received more than enough care and attention.
There would be plenty of time in the future for encounters in the dream world; there was no need to rush it now.
After washing up, Lin Yu wasn't the least bit sleepy.
His system-tempered body could easily handle an occasional all-nighter.
Besides, even if he lay down, the system's notification would forcibly wake him up in just over an hour.
Might as well take this chance to do something else.
For example,
that game Ying'er gave him!
He'd been wanting to try it out ever since they were at the internet cafe!
...
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone.

y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy!

Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
