Two hours later.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the daily quest "Vehicle Cultivation". The outer sect disciple has initially mastered the immortal sect's method of vehicle travel!]
[Reward: 200 Spirit Stones, 100 Sect Contribution Points]
The system's notification sound rang out.
Lin Yu didn't pay much attention to it.
He didn't even have time to wipe the fine layer of sweat from his forehead.
At this moment.
He was fully focused on the slowly moving car.
"Very good, Maomao!"
"Keep this speed and prepare to change lanes towards the direction of the bracelet."
"Remember, you are a beginner right now. You can't skip a single step of the process."
Maomao skillfully turned on the left turn signal and looked towards the rearview mirror.
Naturally, there were no cars to be seen.
But Lin Yu had said that no steps could be skipped, so she naturally wouldn't skip any.
The entire process of a standard lane change was executed perfectly.
Over the past two hours, Maomao had practiced this same maneuver dozens of times.
With each repetition, the car's speed gradually increased.
Seeing that the time was right, Lin Yu took a deep breath.
It was about time.
What had to come would come eventually!
Having drank alcohol, there was no way he could drive Maomao home.
The task of getting both of them home fell entirely on Maomao's shoulders.
There was no point in avoiding it; they had to face it head-on sooner or later.
After changing lanes, Maomao kept driving forward.
During the previous practice runs, this was about the point where they would turn around and repeat the training.
This time, however.
Lin Yu didn't give the command to turn around?
Seeing that they were about to reach the end of the road, Maomao couldn't help but ask:
"Yu, are we turning around now?"
"Can we make a U-turn up ahead?"
Maomao thought Lin Yu had forgotten about turning around and kindly reminded him.
Little did she know.
Lin Yu had already made an important decision!
"Maomao, keep driving forward. When you reach the intersection ahead, turn towards the direction of the bracelet."
Lin Yu said in a serious tone.
He didn't dare to be the slightest bit negligent.
He hoped that Maomao could sense his mood through his tone.
Maomao: "!!!"
With things reaching this point.
No matter how slow Maomao might be, she realized what was about to happen.
Didn't this mean...
She had graduated?!
Had she already reached the stage of hitting the real road?
Her little heart, which had just calmed down, suddenly started beating rapidly.
Driving on an empty road and driving on a real, busy street were two completely different experiences.
She had tried practicing driving so many times before, but not once had she dared to actually drive onto the main road.
Thinking about the endless stream of traffic and the busy streets she was about to face...
Maomao couldn't help but ask herself.
Could she really handle it?
Shouldn't she practice a little more before considering driving on the actual road?
Maomao really wanted to ask Lin Yu and voice her anxious doubts.
But when the words reached her lips, she couldn't bring herself to say them.
After all.
Lin Yu's teaching methods were so amazing, his driving skills must be excellent too.
For him to take the initiative to suggest this meant that he truly trusted Maomao.
If Maomao were to raise doubts now, wouldn't that be equivalent to questioning Lin Yu's professionalism?
And it would be even more disrespectful of the trust Lin Yu had placed in her.
Maomao took a deep breath.
Alright.
I'll do exactly as Yu says!
Anyway, with him by her side, if any new situation arose, he would definitely be able to warn her in time.
She just needed to keep a calm state of mind and slowly drive the car over.
Maomao's nervousness was directly reflected in her actual actions.
Even the slightest shake of the steering wheel caused the car's body to sway.
Even though Maomao tried her hardest to stop it and pretend nothing had happened.
How could the body's instincts be fought off so easily?
Lin Yu gently patted her arm twice and said comfortingly:
"Don't panic, you are already doing very well."
"The first time I drove on the road, I pulled over and stopped three times over a distance of just two kilometers."
"At that time, I was truly terrified. I was trembling so much that I couldn't stop."
"Your reaction right now is considered mild. You're already doing excellently!"
Lin Yu shared his own past experience to help Maomao calm her mind.
Comforting the person in front of him by describing someone else's even more panicked past.
Although the tactic was simple, it won in practicality and was quite effective.
After hearing this, the nervous tension in Maomao's heart dissipated significantly.
Moreover, she firmly believed the story Lin Yu had told.
She even chimed in, saying:
"Yu, so you actually had such an embarrassing experience too."
Lin Yu: "..."

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
