At that moment.
The [ Precious ] title above Jiang Linguo's head disappeared.
Clang —
A large wave of shiny items flew out, and Chen Yilang picked them all up with the [ Automatic Pick-up ] function.
As the wave of items entered his inventory, Chen Yilang found himself thinking, "F*CKING AWESOME!"
"Let's see what I obtained." Chen Yilang pulled up the system prompts.
[ You have obtained [ Source of All Evil ] x66 ]
[ You have obtained [ Unruly Spirit ] x 54 ]
...
Mm-hmm.
Not bad, not bad at all.
As expected of [ Precious ].
Though I sort-of expected more from this so-called [ Source of All Evil ].
Isn't money the root of all evil? Why don't you just rain money on me instead?
Chen Yilang silently thought to himself.
Hold on, something's not right here.
How did I suddenly defeat [ Precious ]?
Chen Yilang was dumbfounded.
I wasn't even doing anything to her, I was chatting with Chen Jiahui, no?
How?
Never mind, all's well end's well.
Chen Yilang was too lazy to continue thinking about it.
After all, he had already defeated it. What was the point on dwelling on it any longer?
Moreover, he had already completed the mission, and [ Precious ] was merely a side objective.
He did not expect to bag such a huge catch during this trip.
"Ding!"
Chen Yilang subconsciously looked at the system and realized that it was not the system's notification this time, but rather, it was a notification from his WeChat.
Chen Yilang brought out his phone to take a look.
It was a new message from Jiang Linguo.
Jiang linguo: "Daddy."
Chen Yilang "???"
What the hell?
Since when are we family?
After calming down and giving it some thought, Chen Yilang finally made sense of what was happening.
"Whoever that cowers first will have to call the winner their parent!"
Chen Yilang did not expect that Jiang Linguo would actually take the bet seriously.
It seemed that [ Precious ] was a rather honest individual...
[ Ding! ]
[ Congratulations, you have unlocked a new achievement: Attaining Fatherhood. ]
[ Fulfilment Criteria: Obtained when someone calls you father willingly. ]
[ Details: Perhaps you had not considered this possibility, but as of right now, you are exuding enough affinity to force others to call you their father! ]
[ Achievement reward: Your Charm attribute has increased slightly. ]
[ Character: Chen Yilang ]
[ Attributes: Strength 4, Toughness 2, Intelligence 5, Mind 2, Dexterity 2, Charm 3, Luck 2 ]
...
"Holy cr*p." Chen Yilang was dumbfounded once again.
He did not expect such a feature to exist within the system.
However, he had to admit that this was a rather rare achievement.
After all, it was probably easier to score 600 points in the College Entrance Exams than to force [ Precious ] to call him "Daddy".
However.
Chen Yilang no longer cared whether or not Jiang Linguo was truly sincere.
Most importantly, he noticed that Jiang Linguo was no longer acted pompously.
Whenever he was present, Jiang Linguo would sit quietly at the side, and even if she spoke, she would take on a much humbler tone than before.
Chen Yilang was puzzled.
Damn, do I really look that intimidating?
Nevertheless, Chen Yilang could conclude his trip to Yunzhou as fruitful.
...
Three days later, the group had returned to Beijiang City once again.
"Ah."
"As expected of a city by the sea."
"Even the wind carries the smell of salty seawater."
After walking out of the station, Chen Yilang could not help but sigh.
After saying their goodbyes, Chen Yilang returned home.
Naturally, yet another full table of delicious dishes was awaiting him at home.
After a full meal.
Chen Yilang returned to his room as usual and began his life as a salted fish.
"First, I'll watch some new anime episodes, then I'll play two ranked matches."
"I haven't had the chance to use the skin that Liu Shiya gave me last time."
Chen Yilang quickly arranged his schedule for tonight.
For Chen Yilang.
This was not only the beginning of the longest vacation in his life.
It was also the end of his high school career.
Chen Yilang spent an entire month living happily.
During this month, he discovered some new and wonderful ways to earn Gold Coins and experience.
For example, when he was bored to death, he would do push-ups at home. Every time he did a push-up, he would receive a reward and experience points.
[ You completed a push-up! ]
[ You have received: 1. Gold Coin +9 2. Experience Points +2 ]
Although he could receive a reward, the efficiency was a little low.
For Chen Yilang, who had already reached level 6, this amount of rewards was a meager amount for him.
Of course, if he was wiling to torture his body and do a few hundred push-ups a day, he would likely make a killing...
Other than that.
He could also spend his time watching movies, reading light novels, listening to songs, and playing games to earn rewards.
Heck, even applying a facial mask was deemed appropriate to be rewarded by the system.
Soon, Chen Yilang seemed to have come to a conclusion.
Any activity that could improve his abilities would be rewarded by the system.
At this moment.
Chen Yilang finally understood the meaning of the system's existence.
"It must be trying to mold me into a better person."
Chen Yilang came to this conclusion.
Just like that.
During the month that he had stayed at home, Chen Yilang, who had no opportunities to trigger new quests, relied on these various activities to earn him gold coins and experience points.
Chen Yilang also came to realize a certain principle.
An idle life was a scary one.
Every day seemed to pass by quickly.
Time flies while one is idle, and before they know it, the clock is already showing 12:00 midnight...
Feeling anxious about this realization, Chen Yilang used games to calm himself downs.
Unfortunately.
Chen Yilang's days of being a salted fish quickly came to an end.
One night...
While he was still comfortably curled up in bed, his WeChat chat group suddenly exploded with messages.
"Brothers, brothers!"
"Big news, big news!"
A bomb had just been set off.
"I just looked it up on the Internet!"
"The college entrance exam results are out, everyone!"
