Gu Lingfei was once again plagued by insomnia.
If it were just some ordinary noise, she could have put on her headphones and managed to fall asleep.
But even with earplugs, noise-canceling headphones, and her head buried under the covers, sleep still eluded her.
When she finally managed to drift off, she ended up having a dream.
And the subject of that dream was...
Too embarrassing! Gu Lingfei quickly adjusted her clothes, her face burning with shame.
Just then, Jiang Che knocked on her door. Since it wasn’t locked, he pushed it open and walked in.
"Feifei, it's time for dinner... Wait, what's going on with you?"
Jiang Che frowned as he asked.
Gu Lingfei: "..."
Just let the world end already!
She had never imagined she would lose her composure like this in front of Jiang Che.
"Ahem... Xiao Che, you should leave first! I'm fine."
It was clear that Gu Lingfei wasn’t good at lying.
Or rather, she wasn’t good at lying to Jiang Che.
After all, Gu Lingfei had built a business empire through her own efforts. She was the type who could charm anyone with her words.
But in front of Jiang Che, she couldn’t even tell a simple lie without stumbling over her words.
"Go already!"
Gu Lingfei forcefully pushed Jiang Che out of the room, then slumped to the floor.
Her image as the composed, mature older sister was completely shattered.
...
At the dining table, only Jiang Che and Gu Lingfei were present.
Qin Qiaoqiao was a sleepyhead and would likely sleep until noon.
Gu Lingfei, on the other hand, kept her head down, sipping her porridge, not daring to look up at Jiang Che.
She was feeling too guilty!
Just then, Jiang Che spoke up.
"Feifei, did you have a good dream last night?"
!!!
Gu Lingfei, already on edge, was nearly scared out of her wits!
Had she been sleepwalking? Or talking in her sleep? Had she exposed herself?
"N-no, not really. Work has been busy lately, so I must have slept pretty soundly. I don’t think I had any dreams."
Gu Lingfei wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Really?"
Jiang Che smirked. "Then why did you keep calling my name in your sleep last night?"
Gu Lingfei was done for.
Completely and utterly done.
Any hope of salvaging the situation was gone. Not only had she had *that* kind of dream, but she had also been talking in her sleep.
This was an epic-level social disaster!
"Xiao Che, stop messing around. I must have just been mumbling nonsense."
Gu Lingfei’s eyes darted around, avoiding Jiang Che’s gaze at all costs.
Her heart was in chaos.
"Oh, I see. So I didn’t know that Feifei liked me so much, huh?"
"Hmm?"
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow. His Feifei, who appeared to be a cold and aloof beauty, was actually a complete novice when it came to romance. A few teasing words from him, and she was already flustered.
Gu Lingfei’s heart was in turmoil!
......
Chen Hao had been fired again.
"Why? I was just doing my job by stopping him. Jiang Che isn’t a resident of this community. Why couldn’t I stop him?"
Chen Hao shouted in frustration.
A chubby man in a suit glared at him.
"You’re just a security guard. How can you be so clueless?"
"Even if you don’t recognize a Maybach, you should at least recognize the license plate, right? A license plate with '99999' is something you don’t mess with!"
"You weren’t stopping a car; you were stopping your own future. Jiang Che stepped out of that car, and you stepped out of your job!"
"So, you’re fired!"
Chen Hao’s veins bulged on his forehead.
It felt like the entire world was against him.
From being a school security guard to a company security guard, and now a community security guard, he had never lasted more than a week in any of these jobs before getting fired.
"Damn Jiang Che! I’ve already reached the Perfect Stage of Dark Force. Once I break through to Transform Force, I’ll take your life!"
That’s right, Chen Hao had leveled up again!
He had come to realize that being a security guard was actually a blessing in disguise for him.
After being fired from the school, he had advanced from Middle Stage Dark Force to Late Stage Dark Force. After being fired from the company, he had reached Perfect Stage Dark Force.
"Break to build" had almost become his personal motto.
"And that Su Han... Next time I see you, I’ll pin you to the wall and beat you senseless!"
That bastard had dared to spit phlegm into his mouth!
He still remembered that disgusting, smoky-tasting glob of mucus lodged in his throat—it had almost killed him.
Just then, an arrogant voice rang out.
"So you’re Chen Hao, huh?"
Su Han clenched his fists. According to the intel from his informant, this Chen Hao was the eldest son of the Chen family and one of his enemies.
Before taking down the ancient martial arts Chen family, he would start by beating up this Chen Hao!
"It’s you???"
The moment Chen Hao saw Su Han, rage surged within him.
When enemies meet, sparks fly.
They immediately started fighting.
Perfect Stage Dark Force vs. Perfect Stage Dark Force.
At first, they used all sorts of flashy techniques, but eventually, it devolved into a simple brawl.
And then...
"What are you two doing? Hands up! Hey, hey... We’ve got two suspected ancient martial artists fighting at the west gate of Juhua Community. Requesting immediate backup!"
Chen Hao: "..."
Su Han: "..."
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
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.
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
