When it came to Little Chi's snacks, Lin Yu's attention was entirely focused on her reaction.
If this were reality, anyone who dared to set their sights on Little Chi's snacks would definitely make her blow up on the spot.
In the dream world...
It was almost indistinguishable from reality!
Little Chi cast a sly glance downward and to the side, deliberately avoiding Lin Yu's eyes.
It was as if she were thinking about how to answer.
Right after that.
Little Chi spoke in a faint, quiet voice:
"Boss, I... I don't usually eat snacks, I don't have any snacks."
Lin Yu: "..."
As if anyone would believe that!
Little Chi might as well have had "I'm lying" written all over her face.
After all, she was in such a huge mansion... No!
It should be called a luxurious office.
Working here, could she really be short of money for snacks?
To be stingy to this extent was truly unparalleled.
Lin Yu didn't say anything more.
Since he couldn't eat Little Chi's snacks, couldn't he just have her go buy some?
Promptly.
With a slight shift in his consciousness, a thick stack of hundred-yuan bills instantly appeared in Lin Yu's hand.
As the master of the mansion, casually pulling out some pocket money was perfectly reasonable, right?
"Take this."
"If you don't have snacks, go buy some."
"Keep the change as your bonus."
It was this seemingly ordinary action that brought an unexpected response.
Little Chi took the thick stack of cash with both hands and raised it to eye level, as if examining its thickness.
Lin Yu: "???"
What was the meaning of this?
Could she possibly think it wasn't enough money?
It was just buying some snacks, not treating herself to a state banquet.
Wasn't a stack this thick enough?
Just as Lin Yu was about to ask, Little Chi silently tucked the money into the kangaroo pocket of her professional attire.
Then.
She cast a timid glance at Lin Yu and asked:
"Thank you, Boss. Buying snacks won't cost nearly this much..."
"What kind of program would the boss like to see today?"
"My body has pretty much recovered, so any program... is fine."
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Whoa!
So that's what she meant!
Was this dream following a proper ACG world setting?
The two-dimensional kind?
The daily life of a boss, complete with private shows, this was way too awesome!
Little Chi must have read her fair share of weird manga; wasn't this pure manga plotline?
Mustn't get too excited, mustn't get too excited...
He couldn't act like he hadn't seen the world, or he'd easily be manipulated by Little Chi.
Little Chi's emotional intelligence was far from ordinary; he couldn't deal with this little witch using the same mindset he used with other girls.
Lin Yu calmly pulled out his executive chair from behind the business desk.
After sitting down, he crossed his legs and gestured for Little Chi to start her performance:
"No need for any special programs. Just do all the ones you usually perform."
It wasn't that Lin Yu didn't want to pick a specific act.
He simply didn't know what acts were included at this price point.
It was better to hand the choice back to Little Chi and quietly sit to the side to enjoy her show.
Even in this weird setting, Little Chi surely still had her basic bottom line.
Lin Yu didn't expect to see anything that crossed the line; he just wanted to see Little Chi's sincerity.
This was actually the same principle as going to a restaurant you'd never been to before.
Ordering a dish yourself versus letting the host recommend their specialties felt completely different psychologically.
It determined the upper and lower limits of the consumption.
Except this time, the upper and lower limits were reversed.
Lin Yu actually hoped the lower limit could go even lower.
Just as he expected.
After he made this request, it was Little Chi who fell into a state of inner conflict.
She had just thanked the boss, so she couldn't exactly show no sincerity, could she?
Little Chi stood there hesitating for a moment before speaking slowly:
"Boss, how about I perform a new dance I just learned for you?"
"And then I'll sing a classic anime song. Just a moment."
Hearing this, Lin Yu immediately spoke up to stop her:
"Wait!"
"Is that all? It doesn't sound very fresh."
"Is there anything a bit more... you know?"
If this were reality, Lin Yu definitely wouldn't dare drop such an explicit hint.
However, right now he was in a dream.
His identity was still Little Chi's boss and financial backer.
If he wasn't a bit arrogant now, when would he be?
He had to leave a deep impression on Little Chi.
So that the next time they met, it would give her some wonderful psychological cues.
Now.
Little Chi had most likely already realized the unusual relationship between Lin Yu and her sister.
If he didn't use some strong medicine, it would be really hard to win Little Chi over.
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Little Chi's eyes widened instantly.
Usually, as his private secretary doing things for Boss Lin Yu, he at most gave her vague, lingering looks.
Why the sudden change today?
Had he started a verbal offensive?
Did he think she would really do anything for money?
Little Chi spoke with righteous indignation:
"Boss, it's not your first day knowing me. The kind of thing you're talking about..."
"Will cost extra!"
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
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?"
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.
