The scene in the dream was still Ye Mengfu's bedroom.
Strangely enough,
the bedroom door had transformed into a massive mechanical wheel, slowly rotating.
Ye Mengfu recognized it.
It was the Wheel of Fortune she had drawn herself.
The Wheel of Fortune, which should have been on a card, had somehow escaped.
It left her utterly flustered, unsure of what to do.
The scene before her
felt like something out of a fairy-tale castle, brimming with a dreamlike aura.
The next moment,
a blinding white light flashed, forcing Ye Mengfu to instinctively shield her eyes, unable to look directly at it.
After the sudden burst of light,
it gathered and condensed into a single point.
Sensing the light fade, Ye Mengfu lowered her hands from her eyes and looked ahead…
Just one glance
made her heart race and her cheeks flush crimson.
The runaway Wheel of Fortune had been "sealed" back into the card.
And the boy walking toward her, holding the card… was none other than Lin Yu!
"I-I'm sorry…"
Ye Mengfu had no idea why she was apologizing.
For some reason, she felt responsible—as if Lin Yu’s card escaping and causing mischief was her fault.
Lin Yu, now standing before her, didn’t scold her.
Instead, he patted her head, raised the card, and said,
"Helped you catch it. This time, keep it safe so it doesn’t run away again."
Ye Mengfu nodded obediently, like a little chick pecking at rice.
She let Lin Yu tuck the card back into her kangaroo pocket.
But this time,
after placing the card inside, Lin Yu’s hand lingered, gently wrapping around her waist.
Ye Mengfu tensed up, her breath hitching, her body frozen.
Especially when she saw Lin Yu’s face gradually leaning closer.
Helpless, she could only squeeze her eyes shut and surrender to fate.
……
"Hah…"
"Hah…"
The dream vanished.
Ye Mengfu abruptly sat up in bed,
gasping for air.
In the dream, she had been holding her breath for what felt like at least two minutes.
If not for her brain’s self-preservation kicking in, she might have stayed in that suffocating state.
Realizing it had all been a dream,
Ye Mengfu covered her face in embarrassment and flopped back down.
Why had she dreamed something like that?
She had never had such a dream before!
Could it be…?
Ye Mengfu rolled over and pulled out the Wheel of Fortune card from under her pillow.
Do tarot cards really have special powers?
Just keeping it under her pillow had made her dream about it.
And not just any dream—
that kind of dream.
Ye Mengfu quickly sat up again, intending to move the card somewhere else.
But after sluggishly making it to the edge of the bed, she froze, unable to take the next step.
Gently tracing the card’s intricate patterns, she recalled the words Lin Yu had said to her earlier that day.
After hesitating for a long while,
she crawled back under the covers and tucked the card right back under her pillow.
……
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! Your intimate relationship with the Joyous Sect’s Talisman Master has deepened, advancing to the fourth realm—"Silken Threads of Fate"!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.]
The system’s notification blared in his mind,
"Thoughtfully" forcing Lin Yu’s brain to boot up.
He grabbed his phone and checked the time… 5:35 AM!
Did that little artist have some weird nightmare or something?
Pleasant dreams usually lasted until sunrise, waking you up naturally.
How could she only make it to 5:30?
Oh, really?
Daring to force him awake like this?
Fine.
He’d haunt her dreams for a whole week.
She’d learn what it meant when—
He entered the dream, and the entire sect would tremble!
Lin Yu flopped back down and dozed off again.
Just as he had predicted the day before,
at exactly 7:00 AM,
the system’s wake-up call arrived on schedule…
[Ding!]
[Today is another day full of hope!]
[Continue exploring the Path of Joy, Host~ Strive to become the pillar of the sect!]
Lin Yu groggily opened his eyes.
Once again, he recalled the classic lyrics from an underground rap legend:
"But~ it just won’t switch to vibrate~ it just won’t switch to vibrate!"
He reopened the system interface.
After just one day, his status in the sect had changed again.

Chief Disciple of the Joyous Sect!
All that hard work for a day hadn’t been in vain!
From a small-time errand boy to a big-time errand boy!
The newly added daily missions made that abundantly clear.
Aside from the updated [Daily Missions],
two new [Urgent Missions] had also appeared!
Sister Ruirui must have lost a pet—probably frantically searching everywhere right now.
Her pet shop wasn’t just for selling animals.
Many were boarded there for care.
Losing her own pet would be heartbreaking enough.
But losing someone else’s? That would be a disaster.
As for the other urgent mission, the description was straightforward.
His little girlfriend, Chi Qingshui…
Was having her monthly visitor!
If a girl told a guy:
"It’s that time, and my stomach hurts,"
the typical responses were:
"Drink more water."
"Drink warm water."
"Drink brown sugar water."
"Maybe take some painkillers?"
Lin Yu couldn’t just say the same, even if he thought it.
But!
As the Chief Disciple of the Joyous Sect, how could he be stumped by something as trivial as a menstrual cycle?
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...
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
tions: attribute allocation, analysis, proficiency, and simulation. Specializing in mechanical alchemy, from crafting sorcerous battle armor to handcrafting mechanical maidens, his mechanical legion conquers endless realms... Relying on his wits, he begins with a student-teacher romance, wins over a female director, enslaves a female assassin and a underworld queen, becoming the husband of a Grand Duchess... He enslaves the Goddess of Magic from the divine realm, developing his power simultaneously in both the Wizard World and the Realm of Gods...
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. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
