50 sect contribution and 200 soft RMB were successfully obtained!
Calculated by hourly wage, this job is really good.
With 50 sect contribution, the debt incurred from staying out all night was finally zeroed out.
Even more surprising was the extra reward of a lottery chance!
While Chen Qimeng was pruning flowers, Lin Yu quickly opened the system's lottery interface.
With just a thought, a giant virtual prop resembling a shopping mall lottery wheel appeared in his mind.
White, blue, green, orange, red… a dazzling array of colors.
At least several hundred squares of different colors were crisscrossed.
Each item had a question mark, not showing its content.
Emphasizing a sense of unknown anticipation!
After the 【Start Lottery】 option, it was specifically marked 【This lottery is free (Lottery consumes 200 sect contribution)】.
A 【Daily Mission】 earned 50 sect contribution.
If there were other ways to obtain sect contribution, it wouldn't be difficult to try the lottery once.
Completing an 【Emergency Mission】 should at least yield more sect contribution, right?
Lin Yu didn't waste time and quickly started the lottery.
The wheel then began to spin rapidly, gradually stopping in a blue box after dozens of seconds.
【Ding!】
【Congratulations, Host, you have received a physical reward: Prosperous Beauty Jade Marrow Pill!】
【Description: Skin like jade, eyes like stars. For my Hehuan Sect disciples walking in the world, an innate charm is essential to captivate hearts.】
Prosperous Beauty Jade Marrow Pill… what a good item!
To put it simply, isn't this like having built-in beauty, maxing out one's appearance?
Being judged by the system as a Hehuan Sect disciple, appearance is indeed very important.
If you want an ugly man to have a beautiful woman, unless you have endless money or endless hype.
If you have neither, then appearance is the best weapon.
In front of Chen Qimeng, Lin Yu didn't dare to take it out of the system and eat it directly.
If the change was too drastic, it would be difficult to explain on the spot.
…
After watering the flowers, Chen Qimeng put away the watering can and tidied up the balcony for a while.
Then she hurried upstairs to the third floor, picked up her everyday shoulder bag, and prepared to go to the flower shop.
The early bird catches the worm.
Opening the shop early meant a chance to earn more money.
Her diligent and hardworking nature was almost ingrained in Chen Qimeng's bones.
While changing shoes, Chen Qimeng noticed that Lin Yu was standing in the first-floor hall, staring at her.
“Xiao Yu, if I’m not busy at noon, I’ll come back to cook.”
“If I can’t leave the shop, I’ll text you beforehand.”
“Do you still have enough pocket money? I’ll give you some more cash.”
“It’s a holiday, you should go out and play more with friends, there are many places to spend money.”
Saying that, Chen Qimeng opened her shoulder bag, preparing to give Lin Yu cash.
Although Alipay and WeChat Pay existed in 2014, they hadn't achieved universal popularity.
Small vendors and shops in second-tier cities could only use them randomly by chance; cash still dominated.
Lin Yu shook his head, saying, “Qimeng, I still have a lot of money, I don’t need it for now. I’ll tell you if I run out.”
“Instead, you… are you going out like this?”
Chen Qimeng: “Eh?”
What did he mean?
Usually… didn't she also go out this early?
What was different today?
Chen Qimeng’s tiny brain spun rapidly.
“Oh!”
Suddenly, she thought of something.
So, with one foot in a sneaker and one in a slipper, she quickly came to Lin Yu’s side.
She wrapped her arms around his waist and gave him a gentle hug.
Lin Yu: “???”
Chen Qimeng: “Xiao Yu behaved very well today, he deserves encouragement.”
【Ding!】
【Excellent daily performance in the Hehuan Sect left a good impression on the Acting Sect Leader, laying a solid foundation for the next step of promotion!】
【Reward: 10 Spirit Stones】
Lin Yu chuckled.
Is this how a normal thirty-five-year-old woman's brain works?
After the hug, Chen Qimeng looked up, gazing expectantly into Lin Yu's eyes.
Her gaze clearly said: Are you waiting for me to praise you?
Lin Yu extended a finger and gently poked Chen Qimeng's collarbone hollow.
The moment their skin touched, Chen Qimeng's eyes fluttered.
Big eyes, big question marks.
“Qimeng, I mean…”
“Are you planning to go to work wearing an apron and a nightgown?”
Lin Yu teased.
Chen Qimeng looked down…
“Oh dear! I was so busy grabbing my bag that I forgot to change my clothes!”
Watching Chen Qimeng rush upstairs in her usual absentminded manner, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh.
It was hard to say who would take care of whom in the future.
…
After Chen Qimeng left home, Lin Yu first returned to his bedroom and took a quick shower.
After spending a night at the internet cafe and drinking so much beer, the smell on him was really unpleasant.
If he were to interact with other roommates later, he certainly couldn't be stinky.
Lin Yu and Chen Qimeng's rooms were on the third floor.
Many tenants didn't want to climb stairs every day.
So the two of them lived on the highest, third floor.
Of course, there weren't only two of them on the third floor; there were other tenants as well.
Chen Qimeng took great care of Lin Yu, giving him the largest bedroom on the third floor.
In addition to an en-suite bathroom, there was even a separate small study.
After showering and getting dressed, Lin Yu retrieved the 【Prosperous Beauty Jade Marrow Pill】 from the system.
It was a white pill, looking no different from a white chocolate bean.
Lin Yu ate it in one bite, and the pill flowed like a clear stream into his throat.
He could clearly feel his body changing; his steps even felt a few shades lighter.
Looking at himself in the mirror again:
His amber pupils now glowed with a golden shimmer, developing a touch of allure amidst the coolness. The curve of his sword-like brows, which slanted into his temples, was three points sharper than usual, and when his eyelashes fluttered, it was like butterfly wings brushing over a poisoned blade. His wheat-colored skin now had the luster of cold jade, yet faint golden veins subtly coursed beneath, as if sealing flowing lava…
Of course, none of the above superhuman situations occurred.
The actual changes were not as earth-shattering as imagined.
Lin Yu's foundation wasn't too bad; he was tall and not fat, with a hint of handsomeness.
Under the effect of the pill, the few faint acne marks on his face completely disappeared.
His skin became whiter than before, as if a cool, pale filter had been applied.
His eyes also changed from slightly tired to clear and bright.
His nose bridge seemed to have become a little more prominent.
Overall, his facial features were more defined than before, and his hair quality improved significantly.
In the future, if he had no work, perhaps he could become an edge-content streamer who sells his looks to trick money from aunties.
Staring at himself in the mirror, he looked repeatedly for over a minute.
Lin Yu: “Hiss, seems like I’m a bit more handsome, huh?”
After showering, Lin Yu rummaged through the clothes in his “simple” wardrobe.
Although he didn't have high demands for clothing, seeing the pure black, white, and gray straight-man colored clothes, he still couldn't help but sigh.
His fashion sense in his youth was really not great.
In a corner of the wardrobe hung an unworn plaid short-sleeved shirt.
It was a shirt that Qimeng had personally picked out for Lin Yu when they went shopping together.
In his previous life, he must have had some major illness.
It was clearly a very nice shirt, but he insisted it wasn't good and refused to wear it.
It was as if he couldn't live unless he contradicted Qimeng.
Lin Yu took out the shirt and chose a pair of knee-length shorts, putting them on for now.
He would “renovate” his wardrobe when he had time.
After tidying himself up, Lin Yu came to the first-floor dining room.
Indeed, Chi Qingchi was still at the dining table, playing on her phone while eating breakfast.
Just as Lin Yu had predicted, Xiao Chi was not only gluttonous but also ate incredibly slowly.
In the same amount of time, Lin Yu could finish two meals.
“Xiao Lin, are you going out… Wow?”
Chi Qingchi noticed Lin Yu coming downstairs and turned her head to look at the “new Lin Yu” after his power-up.
A mouthful of egg pancake hadn't even been swallowed yet when she froze in stunned silence.
Lin Yu looked expectantly towards the dining room.
Qimeng had gone to work.
The other Zong You had either gone out or hadn't woken up yet.
Now, only he and Xiao Chi remained in the dining room.
Heh heh.
It was time to have a good chat with Zong You…
