"Lynette: 'I want to know right now if that person next to the Traveler just now was my brother Lyney?'"
"Navia: 'Seems like it, since he's still wearing his hat.'"
"Clorinde: 'Traveler, how dare you show disrespect to the Hydro Archon?'"
"Aether: 'Huh? That was a fan-made video, not real.'"
"Clorinde: 'You better hope so.'"

"System, come on, give me a ten-pull first."
The moment Lin Yu went offline, he summoned the system.
As an interface resembling the wish screen from Genshin Impact appeared on the system's screen of light, shooting stars descended, bringing two purple, one blue, three green, and four white meteors.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring the Battle Through the Heavens world's Xuan-tier advanced Dou Technique — Eight Desolations Destruction (Blue)."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring a Resurrection Coin from the system store (Purple)."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring Anywhere Door from the Doraemon world (Purple)."
……
(Note: All the above items have been modified by the system, please feel free to use them with peace of mind.)
"Holy crap, the Anywhere Door? System, with this Anywhere Door, can I go to Teyvat and the Stellar Jade train?"
If that were really possible, Lin Yu might go find Hu Tao, because who could resist how cute Hu Tao is?
"The host shouldn't get ahead of themselves. This Anywhere Door would work fine in the Doraemon world, but different worlds have different laws and cultivation systems. This one has already been modified by the system; otherwise, its transmission range would barely be a few kilometers."
"The Anywhere Door can only take you anywhere in this world right now; it cannot take you to other worlds."
"Is there any other way?" Lin Yu asked, somewhat unwilling to give up.
After searching for a moment, the system replied: "Yes, spend one hundred million sentiment points to purchase a Space Stone. Let the Anywhere Door absorb all the energy of the Space Stone, and it will allow you to go to whatever world you want."
"No way, system, why is this so expensive? Is there any other way?"
"Yes, ordinary travel cards and precision travel cards. An ordinary one costs only 5,000 sentiment points and allows the host to visit any world for two hours. A precision one costs 8,000 sentiment points, allowing the host to visit a desired world, also for a two-hour stay."
"Well—judging by what you just said, spending one hundred million sentiment points to buy the Space Stone and upgrade the Anywhere Door to the maximum turns out to be more cost-effective in the end. I've decided—"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the first broadcast, and acquiring Chinese Yuan and a detached villa in the suburbs. The relevant documents have been issued to the system's temporary space; please claim them as soon as possible."
Lin Yu looked around, packed a few important things, and left the rest behind since there was nothing of much value anyway. He picked up his phone, searched his contacts, and made a call.
"Hello, Brother Liu, I'm not going to continue renting your place anymore."
"Little Lin, it's not that your brother is nagging you, but are you running into any trouble? How about this, I'll waive next month's rent for you."
In Lin Yu's memory, the only person in this world who had ever treated him well was this Brother Wang. So no matter what, he had to say goodbye before leaving.
"Brother Wang, you see, I found a good job on the other side of the city—working as a security guard at a detached villa in the suburbs. So I won't be coming back. Thank you for your care over the years. I'll send you the rent I've owed you shortly. Thank you, Brother Wang, for everything these past few years."
"Alright, then go and do a good job."
In the end, Brother Wang only said those words.
After hanging up the phone, he transferred forty thousand over via WeChat, treating the excess as repayment for all those years of care. After all, having transmigrated not too long ago, he didn't want to owe anyone any favors.
He grabbed his belongings, headed outside, and casually hailed a taxi on the side of the road.
"Driver, take me to that villa in the southern suburbs."
"You got it! Say, young man, what are you going out there for?" The driver started chatting with Lin Yu out of boredom.
"Ah, just going out there for work. Found a good job over there, going to be a security guard at that villa."
Lin Yu wasn't one to show off. Hearing the taxi driver ask, he simply repeated the cover story he had told Brother Wang.
After a little over two hours, the southern suburbs arrived. Ahead stood the villa. Taxis weren't allowed inside, so Lin Yu had to walk the rest of the way.
Before long, he arrived in front of the villa. To be fair, the villa rewarded by the system looked quite gorgeous from the outside.
Just then, a property manager walked over accompanied by two security guards.
"Are you Mr. Lin Yu? I'm the manager in charge of managing this villa, just call me Little Yang. Let me first show you around the villa you purchased."
Manager Yang thus led Lin Yu on a tour of the villa, and finally handed over the villa's only two keys.
After all, the locks on this villa were high-tech and required both keys and fingerprints to enter.
After seeing the three of them off, Lin Yu lay down on the bed and sighed: "This is what I call living."
"System, thanks. I really like this villa."
"Hehe, as long as the host likes it."
