Chapter 7. The Simp Fiancée Brings Breakfast
“An Advanced Slacker Gift Pack?”
Jiang Yichen opened the system space and checked the description.
【Advanced Slacker Gift Pack: 50% chance to obtain a Supreme-grade talent, cultivation method, spirit artifact, or the like; also grants random rewards such as money, pills, talismans, formations, and so on.】
With one look, he understood. The rank of the gift pack determined the probability of drawing a Supreme-grade reward.
A Supreme-grade gift pack guaranteed one. As for Advanced, Intermediate, and Basic gift packs, the odds of drawing one decreased in that order.
Jiang Yichen rubbed his hands together eagerly. He already had a cultivation method and a talent. If he could get a Supreme-grade spirit artifact for protection too, that would be perfect.
“Open the gift pack.”
【Congratulations, Host. You have obtained: 10 billion in funds, 100,000 sixth-rank teleportation talismans, and an Ancient Spirit Gathering Formation.】
Jiang Yichen took one look and, seeing that there was no Supreme-grade reward, felt a little disappointed.
He could not help touching his face. Was it because he had not washed it yet, so his luck had been a little bad?
Shaking his head, he looked over the gift pack rewards.
Another 10 billion in funds. There was no way he could ever spend all this money.
No, that would not do. If the money was given to him and he did not use it, that would be far too boring. He needed to think carefully about how to use it to improve his quality of life.
Jiang Yichen nodded heavily. This was important enough to underline. If he lived a low-quality life, then what was the point of slacking off at all?
He then opened the descriptions for the other two rewards.
【Teleportation Talisman: A sixth-rank talisman. By activating the spiritual energy within the talisman paper, the user may teleport to any location within a radius of five hundred kilometers.】
【Ancient Spirit Gathering Formation: Automatically deployed by the system. Centered on the Host, it increases the cultivation speed of cultivators within a one-hundred-meter range inside the formation. At the Host’s current realm, it can increase cultivation speed by 0.1% per hour.】
A sixth-rank teleportation talisman? Damn! On the market, a single one of those cost over a million. It was an essential life-saving item.
System, you handed him 100,000 of them right off the bat. Was this supposed to be his means of transportation now?
Using sixth-rank teleportation talismans for travel—luxurious! Far too luxurious.
Still, the most useful thing right now was the Ancient Spirit Gathering Formation. It could increase cultivation speed by 0.1% per hour.
That meant, combined with his automatic cultivation speed, his total cultivation speed could now reach 1.5% every five hours.
【Host: Jiang Yichen
Realm: Fourth Realm, First Level (Automatic Cultivation Progress: 11.2%; upon reaching 100%, you will break through to the Fifth Realm, Grandmaster)
Blood Qi Value: 10,120 points
Spiritual Power: 2,024 hertz
Talents: Divine Sense Amplification, Chaos Body (Automatic Cultivation Progress: 1.2%; upon reaching 20%, Minor Mastery)
Cultivation Method: Void Scripture (Automatic Cultivation Progress: 1.2%; upon reaching 20%, Beginner)
(Current cultivation speed: 1.5% per 5 hours. As cultivation becomes more difficult later on, the cultivation speed will be reduced accordingly.)】
Jiang Yichen could already feel the surrounding spiritual energy gradually growing denser, while his dantian automatically absorbed that spiritual energy to cultivate his body.
He glanced at the panel. Originally, it would have taken four days for the Chaos Body to reach Minor Mastery and for the Void Scripture to reach the Beginner stage. Now, that time had been cut down by more than a full day.
With this cheat, along with all these resources from the rewards, what did he even have to worry about regarding the graduation assessment after the ceremony?
In his previous life, he had spent all his time helping Lin Wan achieve her dream and had no time to cultivate. Whenever final assessments and things like that came around, he had always been extremely uneasy.
Now, he could go up there and crush everyone directly. There was not the slightest trace of pre-exam anxiety.
A carefree life of slacking off really was amazing.
He nodded in satisfaction. Since it was summer, sunrise usually would not be visible until around five-thirty.
He checked the time. There were still ten minutes left before five.
Seeing that the time was about right, Jiang Yichen got up, dressed himself, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
This time, waking up early came with no worry over whether the breakfast buns would suit Lin Wan’s taste. There was only anticipation for the sunrise scenery.
As for a delicious breakfast... someone would naturally bring it over.
As he brushed his teeth, he thought of Su Linyu, the fiancée bound to him by a marriage agreement.
If his devotion to Lin Wan had been a kind of illness, then Su Linyu’s devotion to him was already terminal.
At this hour, she had probably already arrived.
Knock, knock, knock!
He had just finished washing his face and brushing his teeth when a knock came at the door.
Jiang Yichen was not surprised in the least as he walked out of the bathroom. “Come in.”
Uncle Feng pushed the door open and entered, scratching at his graying hair with one hand as if he had run into something rather unpleasant.
“Young Master, the matter of Lin Wan and the team has already been handled.”
Jiang Yichen nodded and sat down on the edge of the bed. “Mm. And then?”
Uncle Feng swallowed hard and said with extreme nervousness, “Young Master, Miss Su is here.”
“This time, I swear I had every corner of the villa sealed off. I definitely did not deliberately let Miss Su in.”
Jiang Yichen smiled. In his previous life, he had been afraid Lin Wan would discover the marriage agreement between him and Su Linyu, so he had always avoided this fiancée of his.
He had even given orders to the butler and the bodyguards that if Su Linyu ever appeared in front of him, they could just wait to have their pay docked and lose their jobs.
But Su Linyu had been extremely difficult to deal with. She always managed to find a way to slip into the villa.
“Then how did she get in today?”
Uncle Feng lowered his head and let out a sigh. “Miss Su... came in through the dog hole. This old servant truly did not think of that place.”
Jiang Yichen raised an eyebrow. The dignified eldest daughter of the Su family, the number one genius campus belle of Huazhong University—
And for the sake of bringing him breakfast, she had actually crawled through a dog hole. Su Linyu, you really are...
He was at a loss for words. But now that he had lived a second life, the things he had not cared about before now made his heart feel strangely warm.
In his previous life, Su Linyu had discovered that he came back to the villa every night at midnight, yet still had to get up at five to buy breakfast for Lin Wan.
In order to keep him from being so exhausted, she had started getting up at four to buy breakfast and personally deliver it to the villa.
Afraid that he would refuse it, she had even brought a portion for Lin Wan too. She had practically dragged the content of short videos right into real life.
But she had truly kept it up. For four years straight, day after day, she had come every morning to deliver breakfast to him.
At first, he would lose his temper with her. Over time, he got used to it, and it became nothing more than cold indifference.
At school, Su Linyu transformed into a full-blown stalking maniac. Whether he was eating, exercising, or doing anything else, she would follow behind him and Lin Wan with a little notebook in hand, recording their habits to make sure the breakfast suited their tastes.
But that kind of behavior led to constant discussion of Su Linyu’s strange conduct on the school forum.
The Su family had also been deeply dissatisfied. Her parents had threatened to sever ties with her, forcing her to break off the marriage agreement with him.
But Su Linyu had withstood the pressure without budging, continuing to bring him breakfast, send him gifts on holidays, and so on.
Jiang Yichen sighed. The one being adored was always the one with the confidence to take it for granted.
And the moment he sighed, Uncle Feng became even more nervous.
“Young Master, don’t worry! Even if it means offending the Su family today, I’ll still throw Miss Su out!”
In the past, whenever the young master looked like this, it always meant he was about to lose his temper.
As he spoke, Uncle Feng rolled up his sleeves and started toward the door.
“What are you doing? Didn’t I say yesterday that I wanted her to help me manage the team? If you drive her away, who am I supposed to find?” Jiang Yichen hurriedly stopped him.
Huh?
Uncle Feng froze, then turned back with an expression of utter astonishment.
Had the young master not always driven Miss Su away before?
“Oh, right. Did she bring buns today?” Jiang Yichen asked.
Still bewildered, Uncle Feng nodded.
Jiang Yichen gave an acknowledging hum and walked toward the living room.
Uncle Feng scratched his head, confused, and followed behind him.
“Come, come, come. I brought some for all of you too. These buns are really delicious!”
The moment he reached the living room, he saw Su Linyu, her clothes stained with dust.
A few loose strands of hair clung mischievously to cheeks smudged like a little cat’s face. As she trotted around handing buns to the bodyguards and maids, her twin ponytails swayed behind her like little tails.
“Young Master!”
The bodyguards and maids saw him arrive and quickly placed the buns Miss Su had given them onto the dining table.
The instant Su Linyu heard that, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly turned around.
“Good morning, Brother Yichen! Brother Yichen looks so energetic today, so handsome!” Delighted, she pressed both hands to her cheeks in lovestruck admiration. When she smiled, the dimples at the corners of her mouth made her look even cuter.
Jiang Yichen also felt that he was in good condition. In the past, he had worn dark circles under his eyes every morning, but after fusing with the Chaos Body, all the exhaustion in his body had vanished.
“So this is what you got out of crawling through a dog hole?” He looked at the black smudges on Su Linyu’s face. There were even three lines drawn on each side of her mouth.
Su Linyu stuck out her tongue and raised her hands in a cat-like pose, then let out an affected little “meow.” “Brother Yichen, doesn’t this make me look adorable?”
Jiang Yichen smiled helplessly and pulled out a few napkins, about to wipe her face for her.
But before he had taken even two steps, Su Linyu suddenly let out a startled cry and pulled a tape measure from her bag, which she carried with her at all times. She tugged it open and measured.
The distance between them: 2.9 meters!
“Wow! Brother Yichen actually got 0.1 meters closer to me than yesterday! Ahhh, I have to post this on my Moments to commemorate it!”
Su Linyu pulled out her phone, took a picture of the tape measure, and uploaded it to her Moments.
Caption: Family, who gets this? The distance between me and my dream guy just shortened by 0.1 meters!
Jiang Yichen: “...”
