Twin Sisters and the Completed Daily Quest!
Three fellow disciples required?
Meeting two more female roommates in the shared apartment wasn't hard.The tricky part was unlocking their info panels.
Based on what happened with Chen Qimeng, just seeing someone wasn't enough—It had to involve physical contact to count as an "interaction."
Tsk tsk tsk.
In his past life, Lin Yu at this point was the definition of a shy, socially awkward guy.Low confidence, zero EQ.
Just chatting with female classmates or roommates would leave him tongue-tied.
Yet honestly, if you asked which period of his entire life was the peak?It would be right here, right now.
Look who lived in the apartment with him:
A sweet, innocent "auntie"
Twin classmates from his university
A pet shop manager
A mysterious hacker girl on leave from school
A socially anxious illustrator
A primary school teacher
A community nurse
An antique watchmaker
Seriously, it was like a reality show waiting to happen.Nine girls and one guy under the same roof—calling it a "sect" didn't even feel like a stretch.
How many chances does a man get to live with nine women?If that's not a peak moment in life, what is?
Years later, the more mature Lin Yu would look back and want to slap his younger self.
"Shy, my ass."
"Awkward, my foot."
Those who are shameless get the good life first.
But now—Lin Yu was back, equipped with all the wisdom of his previous life.
Aside from missions, the system also had two useful menus:[Sect Contribution] and [Spirit Stones].
His current sect contribution was negative—–50, so not much to test yet.
In the [Spirit Stones] tab, next to the number 25, there was a "Withdraw" option.
Apparently, spirit stones could be converted into real money.Their other uses weren't clear yet—but with just 25, he didn't expect much.
Still, earning 20 stones just from some casual interaction?
Might as well test the exchange rate.
Ding...
After selecting "Withdraw All," his phone buzzed with a text message a few seconds later:
XX Bank:¥250 deposited into account ending in 4679 at 7:20 AM, July 5.Available balance: ¥562.92
1 spirit stone = 10 yuan.
Which meant that his casual morning interaction with Aunt Qimeng just earned him 200 RMB.
Not a massive amount—but super easy to earn.
With so many girls in the apartment, just a little friendly effort each day could easily rack up thousands.
No need to work.No need to hustle or start a business.
Just live life—system style.

After breakfast, Lin Yu and Chen Qimeng went out to the first-floor balcony.
The sun was shining; the spirit plants were thriving.
Spray bottle in hand, Lin Yu watered each flower according to Qimeng's instructions.
Different plants needed different amounts—she had it all memorized.
She really was amazing.Running a flower shop, managing this many plants… and she still found time to personally tend them?
Just remembering their names was hard for Lin Yu, and she knew how to grow each one?
By the time he reached the seventh pot, a nearby window opened.
A fluffy head with long ash-blonde hair poked out.
"Good morning, Aunt Qimeng! Morning, Lin!"
"Huh? Lin, you're back? …The ice cream…"
The girl bit her lip, her cute face shyly lit up with a sharp little fang peeking out.
It was Chi Qingchi—the one who called Lin Yu this morning.
She and her older sister, Chi Qingshui, were Lin Yu's classmates at Pingchuan University, Film & TV Department.
Though not officially the campus queens, they were certainly the most popular girls in the faculty.
People always said twins shared personalities—but in their case, the contrast was huge.
Qingshui, the older sister, was a cold top-of-the-class student.Qingchi, the younger one, was mischievous, playful, and constantly snacking.
What kind of normal person eats ice cream at 7 in the morning?
And she even called to trick Lin Yu into coming back home!
Aunt Qimeng hadn't even noticed he'd stayed out all night at the internet café.
Such a crafty little fox!
Old Lin Yu would've snapped: "Buy your own damn snacks!"
But now?Now, fellow sect members with quests were a valuable resource.
And who knew what kind of mission rewards might pop up?
Qimeng waved, "Morning, Chi!"
Lin Yu followed with a wave. "Morning, Xiao Chi. Where's Big Chi? Still asleep?"
Qingchi blinked rapidly, her expression full of suspicion.
Huh?What's up with Lin today?
Ever since he moved in, he always referred to them both as "Miss Chi."
Their chats were rare and awkward—and he'd never asked about her sister before.
Plus, he was out here helping Aunt Qimeng water the plants?
When did he become so... friendly and motivated?
Did the all-nighter fry his brain?
"Oh… she went back to Jizhou. She'll be back the night after tomorrow," Qingchi answered softly.
She was now even more convinced the all-nighter messed him up.
He'd been told yesterday her sister left town, yet today he asked again like it was new info?
Lin Yu wasn't amnesiac—he just couldn't possibly remember every little moment from over a decade ago.
But as she mentioned it, something came back to him.
The summer Aunt Qimeng died…Qingchi really did stay behind that time.
She said she was working on a project for a summer anime event or something.
Not being part of the anime circle, he hadn't really understood back then.

Hearing the system chime, Lin Yu glanced at Qimeng—
She was smiling gently, clearly proud of him.
And why wouldn't she be?
Since she brought Lin Yu to Pingchuan, the apartment had filled with female tenants.
Yet he barely talked to any of them.
The girls had privately told her many times: Lin Yu was too quiet and withdrawn.That kind of introversion would be a problem in the real world.
Now here he was, chatting cheerfully with his classmate.
Qimeng felt like a proud mom—my little Yu is finally growing up.
What she didn't know was: Lin Yu was never truly aloof.
He was just painfully self-conscious.A prideful little man-child who didn't know how to express himself.
Qimeng leaned closer to the window. "Chi, breakfast is in the kitchen. Come have some red bean porridge and egg pancakes."
Chi raised her little fist into the air: "Aunt Qimeng is the best! I'll change and be right there!"
Qimeng blinked—still not used to Gen Z slang.
Soon, all twelve "spirit plants" were watered.
