Expecting Loop to take over a shop the very next day was undoubtedly unrealistic; the soonest it could happen would be the third day.
Because the second day was this week's [Tomorrowless Day].
Even if Loop wasn't afraid, the shops downstairs would be closed tight, and she absolutely wouldn't run into anyone.
The world was completely dark, but inside Room 1803 of the South District Building, there was faint moonlight.
It was currently 9:00 AM on the Tomorrowless Day.
Chen Miemie had just woken up.
As soon as he woke up, the apartment immediately recovered from dead silence back to life.
Qinghua emerged from the vase, Loop snapped out of her daze, and Bobo was the busiest of all, urging Chen Miemie to hurry up and wash so he could eat roast chicken.
Right now, inside Room 1803, there were three anomalies, far more dangerous than the mist outside the door.
Chen Miemie put on his Moonlight Treasure Garment. At first, he was very excited, feeling like he was the center of the world.
Soon, he realized a problem.
When the whole world was dark and only his spot was bright, what he felt wasn't necessarily a sense of security. Instead, he felt like a clear target, with countless eyes staring at him from the darkness.
When the amount of moonlight was insufficient, it wasn't necessarily a protection. Rather, it felt more like it was attracting attention, creating a situation where the enemy was in the dark and he was out in the open.
Of course, this was a subjective human feeling. The mist anomalies might have a different perspective, but at the very least, Chen Miemie himself thought this felt terrible.
Soon, an entity outside began knocking on the door.
It was some kind of anomaly.
At this moment, Chen Miemie had Qinghua on his left and Loop on his right, with a plate of roast chicken in his arms. He could be said to be fully armed.
Yet he still chose not to open the door, nor did he answer.
With three anomalies in the house, the odds of winning a three-on-one fight were extremely high. But no matter how high the odds were, they couldn't be 100 percent, right?
If he wanted to subdue anomalies, he should wait for the Eternal Moon, or at least when there was a moon, rather than taking risks right now.
Even if the win rate was over 95 percent, the steady Chen Miemie didn't want to gamble.
Besides, if a fight broke out and the apartment was wrecked, there was no way he could ask an anomaly for compensation.
Just like that, Chen Miemie spent the whole day at home practicing his knitting skills.
This was the third [Tomorrowless Day] he had experienced, and also the most peaceful one.
The third day arrived.
At dawn.
A Loop with completely different hair color, hairstyle, and makeup appeared.
Taking off her nurse uniform and changing into a coat, her style changed drastically, instantly transforming from an angel in white into a fashion model.
Loop was tall, and she looked especially striking in this woolen coat.
Without waiting for Chen Miemie to wake up, this Loop had already gone downstairs.
Around dawn and dusk, just like on the [Tomorrowless Day], people did not go out.
Knowing that someone nearby might be watching, Loop didn't want anyone to see her coming down from the South District Building, so she specifically chose this time to go out.
Another half hour passed.
Dawn passed, and the silver sun rose.
People gradually began to arrive at the shops facing the street, opening their doors and starting their preparations before business hours.
Old Li's Fruit Stand.
Old Li was neatly arranging the fruits closest to the outside to make them look more appealing.
Seeing Loop pass by his door, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
For no other reason than that Loop's current aura was extraordinary; she was elegant and beautiful, making an unforgettable impression.
Loop went straight to the building manager's office.
Hello, I would like to take over a shop around here. May I ask if there are any willing to transfer their lease?
Uncle Bie, the manager, had just started his shift. Coincidentally, his son Bie Shengtao from the [South Lord Society] was also there today.
Uncle Bie, just like Old Li, was somewhat stunned by her beauty.
There are no transfers at the moment, but there is a vacant shop in the corner that is still up for rent.
Where exactly in the corner?
It's not facing the street. It's at the back of the building, near the parking lot.
Loop shook her head. What she wanted was a location that could see the entrances and exits of the South District Building.
I'll pass on that one, thank you. I'll go ask elsewhere.
After Loop left, Uncle Bie slapped Bie Shengtao, who had been silent the whole time. You brat, stop staring blankly, she's already gone.
Unexpectedly, this slap knocked Bie Shengtao straight to the ground.
Even after falling to the ground, he was still trembling all over, unable to stand up on his own.
What's wrong with you? Uncle Bie helped him up.
Dad, promise me, do not interact with this woman, absolutely do not!!
Uncle Bie immediately understood that his son wasn't moved by her beauty. He knew his son's abilities.
It took Bie Shengtao a long time to recover, and a bit of color finally returned to his pale face.
I smelled it, I'm absolutely sure. This woman... this woman has killed at least tens of thousands of people with her own hands!
After leaving, Loop went to the building across the street.
To see the entrances and exits of the South District Building, aside from the stalls lined up right at the entrance, there was also one side of the opposite building that offered a view.
And coincidentally, on that side, Loop saw a shop that wasn't open for business.
The manager of this building was Old Wang.
You mean the one that's closed? The owner of that shop had an accident not long ago. His family doesn't really want to continue running it, but they don't want to sublease it either; they just want to sell the storefront entirely.
I'm very interested.
Alright, I'll help you contact them.
By the time Chen Miemie got up, Loop had already become the boss of a new roast chicken shop.
The shop hadn't started operating yet. After all, having just changed owners, the interior needed to be renovated a bit.
Chen Miemie didn't go over. He and the Loop boss who opened the roast chicken shop were supposedly strangers. He would just occasionally patronize the business once the shop officially opened.
As soon as Chen Miemie went downstairs, he ran into Madam Jin.
Saying he ran into her might be slightly inaccurate.
Madam Jin was guarding the outside of the building. Whenever she caught a neighbor she knew, she would take the initiative to strike up a conversation.
And so, she sought out Chen Miemie.
Chen Miemie, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've gotten much more handsome.
Thanks for the compliment, I think so too.
You young men are so humorous. It's like this: my Little Jin has extraordinary aptitude and got accepted into school early. Thinking that everyone is idling at home these days, my family is setting up a few tables at the hotel next door tomorrow at noon to celebrate. You're his senior, so you definitely have to come.
Chen Miemie: ......
Wait, did I hear that right?
Throwing a banquet just for getting into school? If your Little Jin actually manages to graduate, wouldn't you ascend to the heavens?
It was hard to decline such great hospitality, and since it was just the time it took to eat a meal, Chen Miemie agreed.
Madam Jin didn't speak with Chen Miemie for long before she spotted a new target to invite and immediately hurried over.
Chen Miemie hadn't walked far when he passed by several groups of neighbors gathered in threes and fives.
Three aunties were chatting.
Look at that Jin woman showing off. She used to flaunt her husband, and now she's flaunting her son.
Tell me about it. With that smugness, she tells everyone she meets without getting tired.
Are you going tomorrow?
Of course. My husband still wants to get connected with her Old Jin. What about you?
Then I'll go too. If I don't, she'll just say the neighbors aren't united. I'm not giving her that chance.
Sigh, it's a pity that going tomorrow means we have to see her show-off face again.
Chen Miemie shook his head as he listened.
This neighborhood gossip about domestic matters didn't have much malicious intent at its core, but it still made people feel somewhat caught between laughter and tears.
It seems this Madam Jin really doesn't have good popularity in this area.
Chen Miemie got into the sedan chair.
Inside the sedan, he extended his right hand, palm facing upward, and loosely gripped the empty air.
Moonlight emanated from the center of his palm, transforming into a ball of silken threads that hovered silently in his grasp.
Just then, a fallen leaf happened to drift in through the window.
The leaf floated through the ball of threads in his hand, seemingly encountering no resistance at all. Yet, after passing through, it silently fell apart into over a dozen pieces, the severed edges as smooth as if sliced by a razor.
"It is about time I go find Teacher Fuxiao to hand in my homework."
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 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.”

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
