LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After finishing her meal, Ling Xiaoyou tossed the takeout box into the trash, washed the chopsticks, and finally settled onto the sofa to rest.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Her eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, the pure white light shining on her delicate face, making her look even more flawless and pale.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ling Xiaoyou always liked to sit on the sofa after eating, scrolling through her phone or just letting her food digest—killing time.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But today, she didn’t reach for her phone.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She just sat there, slumped like a dried-up salted fish, leaning against the sofa.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Because she was thinking about one thing: how could she catch up to Bai Shuanglian?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Currently, Ling Xiaoyou’s cultivation realm was at the peak of the Condensation Stage.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If she used a game’s experience system to describe it, her progress bar was at about 97 or 98—just a step away from crossing the threshold into the Soul Gathering Stage.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
For a little Spirit who had only cultivated for a few years, this was already astonishingly fast, enough to be considered the level of a Heaven’s Chosen.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But Bai Shuanglian?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Though Ling Xiaoyou couldn’t sense Bai Shuanglian’s current realm due to the gap between them, there was no doubt she was much, much stronger!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After all, being able to effortlessly slay those demons meant she was at least at the Golden Core Stage.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She might even be just a step away from the Nascent Soul.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
In the comparison between Ghost Cultivators and regular Cultivators, the Golden Core Stage equated to the fourth realm, Spirit Pivot Stage, for Ghost Cultivators, while Ling Xiaoyou was only at the second realm, Condensation Stage.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Even if she was about to advance, wasn’t Bai Shuanglian doing the same?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If their cultivation speeds were similar, Ling Xiaoyou would be at 2+1+1…, while Bai Shuanglian would be at 4+1+1…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
This difference in realms meant Ling Xiaoyou might never be able to catch up to Bai Shuanglian—unless Bai Shuanglian hit some sort of bottleneck.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But Ling Xiaoyou couldn’t just hope for Bai Shuanglian to face a bottleneck, could she?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That would be too low.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She was supposed to be Bai Shuanglian’s nemesis!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She had to defeat her fair and square for that title to mean anything!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
So, since the gap in realm couldn’t be bridged by just training harder, there was only one answer left!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She had to use external power!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
System-chan, I need you to help me cultivate!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
What? Using the System isn’t fair and square?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Who said so!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If the System is part of me, then it counts as my own strength!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Strictly speaking, it’s my own power, so it’s absolutely fair and square!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That’s right, calling it external power wasn’t quite accurate.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It should be, ‘I’m going to use my hidden power!’
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Thinking this, Ling Xiaoyou shot upright from the sofa, no longer looking like a dried-up salted fish.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
With a thought, the System-chan’s panel appeared before her—the familiar interface and UI she was already used to.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She’d probably earned quite a few Happiness Points from helping Xiaoyu earlier, right?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That should be enough for a round of self-strengthening.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
With this in mind, Ling Xiaoyou subconsciously glanced at the Happiness Points number in the lower right corner.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Then she froze on the spot.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands… oh no, the last two are decimal points, so it’s nothing… nothing—my foot!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ling Xiaoyou sucked in a cold breath, adding fuel to the warming of the Underworld.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
“No, what did I do to suddenly gain over a hundred Happiness Points?!”
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That’s right.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ling Xiaoyou’s Happiness Points weren’t 0.34 anymore, but 131.34!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
An increase of a hundred points!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She had never been this rich before!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Naturally, Ling Xiaoyou was happy.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After all, who wouldn’t be happy with more Happiness Points?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But she was also deeply puzzled.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Why did she suddenly get so many Happiness Points?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Could Xiaoyu really have been that happy, providing her with over a hundred points in one go?
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ling Xiaoyou shook her head.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Impossible.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
There’s a limit to how much Happiness Points you can get from one person.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After all, it’s not like Ling Xiaoyou could make someone so happy they broke through the heavens and then just collect a billion Happiness Points from them.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
That’s completely unrealistic.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ling Xiaoyou guessed that the limit for earning Happiness Points depended on many factors: cultivation, potential, emotional intensity, willpower, and so on.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But she didn’t really know how it was calculated—and she was too lazy to think about it.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
What she wanted to know now was why she suddenly had so many Happiness Points.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
If she could figure out the reason, she might be able to repeat the same actions to get even more Happiness Points.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
After all, if she wanted to improve herself and surpass Bai Shuanglian, this was her only option.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Thinking this, Ling Xiaoyou reached out her small hand and touched the Happiness Points total in the lower right corner.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The screen shifted to a more detailed interface.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The Happiness Points number was much larger, with a ‘?’ symbol beside it—a description of the use of Happiness Points.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ling Xiaoyou had skimmed the description before and didn’t bother opening it now.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
What she checked was the detailed list of Happiness Point acquisition at the bottom of the screen.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
There, it listed exactly when the points were earned, from whom, and how many points each time.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She opened the detailed list—and was immediately greeted by a wall of Bai Shuanglian’s name.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
23:09, Bai Shuanglian—5 Happiness Points.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
23:12, Bai Shuanglian—3 Happiness Points.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
***
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
5:32, Bai Shuanglian—10 Happiness Points.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Looking at the endless stream of Bai Shuanglian’s name, Ling Xiaoyou couldn’t help but click her tongue.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
No way, this person just kept providing Happiness Points!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Don’t you ever get drained?!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
How many Happiness Points did this person give in total?!
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
She tapped a few times, switching the detailed list to summary mode, then looked again.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
June 27, Bai Shuanglian—39 Happiness Points.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
June 27, Lan Qingyu—3 Happiness Points.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
June 28, Lan Qingyu—7 Happiness Points.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
June 28, Bai Shuanglian—82 Happiness Points.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Lan Qingyu was obviously Xiaoyu’s full name.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The total of ten Happiness Points provided by Xiaoyu didn’t surprise Ling Xiaoyou.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Don’t be fooled by Xiaoyu’s age—her special constitution made it normal for her to provide more Happiness Points than most people.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
But…
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Ling Xiaoyou stared at Bai Shuanglian’s name, falling into deep thought.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
This person was clearly unusual.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Even if a Cultivator could provide a lot of Happiness Points, this was excessive.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
From the time stamps, Bai Shuanglian started providing Happiness Points after they interacted last night and continued until they parted ways at dawn.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Thinking back over the entire night spent with Bai Shuanglian, Ling Xiaoyou’s expression grew strange.
LongStringOfTextToSimulateLargeRandomDataSet123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Could she really have made Bai Shuanglian that happy? That joyful?
