I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 142 Upgrade! Fairy Conquest System

If there's anything worse than being force-fed a bellyful of dog food (a slang term for witnessing a romantic relationship with another person), then there's nothing worse than being forced to eat dog food (a slang term for witnessing a romantic relationship with another person).

Nothing could be worse than being exposed as a fake couple after being showered with their lovey-dovey moments.
Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Meijia had no choice but to honestly recount the whole story.

"I'm sorry, Sister Yifei, I didn't mean it. I did lie to you and Teacher Zeng. It's all my fault."

Seeing Meijia looking aggrieved and sitting on the sofa with her head down, Lin Wanyu felt both sorry and guilty, and quickly went over to take Ms. Hu's arm.

"Feifei, I'm sorry, Meijia is like this because she doesn't have money. I'm willing to help her pay the rent."

Upon hearing this, Meijia looked up in surprise, "Wanyu, you..."

Lin Wanyu smiled at Meijia and said, "I'm sorry, Meijia, I've dragged you into this."

Unexpectedly, Wan Yu spoke of sisterly affection in such a way, and Mei Jia, this silly beauty, immediately became teary-eyed, then remembered something.

"No need. If anyone should make up for it, it should be that guy Lu Ziqiao who compensates me. He still hasn't paid me back the money he owes me!"

"Sister Yifei, I was wrong, I accept the punishment! Wanyu and Yifan are already together, so please don't blame them."

Meijia, true to her word, said with a determined look on her pretty face.

Lin Wanyu was immediately moved, "Meijia~"

"Wanyu~"

Seeing this scene of sisterly affection, Hu Yifei couldn't hold back anymore.

Has she turned into a bad person?

"That's enough, you two! Sit down properly!"

Meijia and Wanyu sat down on the sofa like best friends.

"You two think you can settle this by paying the rent? There won't be any more serious consequences!"

After Ms. Hu's threatening words, Lin Wanyu and Meijia looked at each other with some panic, pursing their lips as they looked at Hu Yifei.

"And... what other consequences might there be?"

Gu Yifan watched silently from the side.

However, I noticed that when Lin Wanyu and Meijia were worried and scared, Ms. Hu's lips curled into a faint smile.

"Sister Yifei, please don't scare them."

Hu Yifei glanced at Gu Yifan standing there and said irritably, "And you, I trusted you so much and treated you like a younger brother, and you just kept this from me like this?"

Gu Yifan shrugged, a warm smile on his face. "I originally wanted to make things clear, but since everyone thinks we're a couple, I had no choice but to go along with it."

As he spoke, Gu Yifan glanced at Lin Wanyu, who shyly lowered her head.

Hu Yifei hadn't expected Gu Yifan to resort to underhanded tactics. His warm smile, in Ms. Hu's eyes, was as impactful as a bomb exploding.
Instantly, her heart trembled, and she almost couldn't stop the water rushing out of the pass. Her pretty face froze, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

For no apparent reason, Hu Yifei suddenly had the same thought as Meijia had just had—it turns out there were opportunities before.
Wait a minute, noticing the hint of disappointment creeping into her heart, Hu Yifei trembled. No, no, no, how could she think like that?

"I'm sorry, Sister Yifei."

Gu Yifan's voice rang in Ms. Hu's ears, who was in a state of utter confusion. She raised her face and glanced at Gu Yifan with a hint of resentment. Her original mood of teasing the two women was gone.

"You two made the biggest mistake of not being honest with me sooner and deceiving my feelings!"

"Would I really betray you? You're underestimating me, Hu Yifei, who's always been a righteous person."

Hearing Hu Yifei's dissatisfied tone, Lin Wanyu blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked cautiously with a mixture of surprise and delight, "Then, Sister Yifei, you... don't blame us? You're not planning to kick us out?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Yifei raised an eyebrow and said, "Who said I was going to kick you out? If you leave, who will help me share the rent for room 3601?"

Meijia realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, "Yifei, you're not going to take us to the management office and have the police take us away, are you?"

Hu Yifei rolled her eyes. "Tch, it's just getting some perks, what's the big deal? Besides, you were introduced by me, Hu Yifei. If it's revealed that you're a fake couple, where will I put my face?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yifan knew that the matter was settled.

As everyone knows, Yifei values ​​her reputation above all else.

Besides, it's not a big deal. It's only been a little over a month. At worst, we can just pay the rent.

Hu Yifei was deliberately teasing the two women.

Lin Wanyu and Meijia both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Yifei, you're so kind."

"Thank you, Feifei~"

"Don't be too happy yet. The fact that you two lied to me isn't going to be so easy to forget," Hu Yifei emphasized, hands on her hips.

The two women sat obediently on the sofa, looking nervous and waiting for their trial.

This appearance is partly real, but partly fake.

Everyone has figured out Hu Yifei's personality: she's tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and she won't hold a grudge unless something is too outrageous.

Gu Yifan and Lin Wanyu offered her money for food, but she refused, saying that if Hu Yifei had a bite to eat, then both of them would have a bite to eat.

It's because Hu Yifei and Zeng Xiaoxian, who are both generous and enthusiastic, are in suites 3601 and 3602 that the atmosphere in both suites is so great.

3601 can't lose Hu Yifei! It's like—

"Hey Wanyu, how about you lend me your darling boyfriend for a few days?"

Ms. Hu quickly came up with a 'punishment'.

"Huh?" Lin Wanyu was stunned, her expression tense. "Gu Yifan, Sister Yifei, what do you want him for?"

Ms. Hu was overjoyed. Seeing Lin Wanyu's reluctant yet hesitant expression, she deliberately asked, "What's wrong, Wanyu? You can't bear to part with her?"

"No, not exactly," Lin Wanyu stammered.

"Okay, I'll ask him to go to the school to help me organize the materials." Hu Yifei shrugged. She thought being a counselor wouldn't be much of a problem, but who knew it would be much busier than being a career guidance teacher.

She's been working overtime at school every day these past few days, otherwise she wouldn't have just gotten back at 10 p.m.

“Xinling is in the hospital and there’s no one to help me. It’s perfect that Gu Yifan can help me.”

Lin Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and nodded generously, "Alright, Gu Yifan, you should go and help Feifei."

Gu Yifan: "."

Hey, do you think I'm some kind of casual person? Have you even considered my feelings?

Hu Yifei glanced at him sideways with her phoenix eyes, "You're not happy?"

"I'd be more than happy to." Gu Yifan rolled his eyes.

"Very good." Hu Yifei looked at Meijia again, a smile appearing in her eyes. "Meijia, I haven't decided yet, but I'll write it down for now. But you and Ziqiao should have a falling out, understand?"

Meijia blinked and immediately understood what Hu Yifei meant, nodding, "Don't worry, Yifei."

"That bastard Lu Ziqiao. Humph, let's see how I deal with him."

I bet Meijia has come up with another brilliant idea to mess with Ziqiao.

"Then let's do it this way~" Hu Yifei clapped her hands, and a happy ending was achieved.

"Wait a moment."

Gu Yifan asked in bewilderment, "So you said you'd punish the two of them, but I'm the one destined to be overworked?"

Hu Yifei thought for a moment and nodded, "You could say that, since you're a man."

".Thank you."

Hu Yifei finally couldn't help but laugh, "Don't pretend you're innocent after getting a good deal. What gift did you give Wanyu? Wanyu, let me see it quickly."

Meijia beamed with joy and presented the cake to Hu Yifei as if it were a treasure.

"That's right, Yifei, this cake is super delicious, you should try it." Looking at the three women enjoying themselves, Gu Yifan felt superfluous and simply turned around and pushed open the door.

"Gu Yifan, where are you going?" Lin Wanyu asked curiously.

"Go find Teacher Zeng."

Suite 3602.

Gu Yifan pushed open the door to the suite, and the noise from before immediately subsided.

I paused for a moment at the doorway.

[You and Fairy Lin sealed your love with a kiss today, pledging your lives to each other and completely winning Fairy Lin's heart. Fairy Lin has subtly expressed her feelings that she can only have you in this life—Fairy Lin can be upgraded from teammate to Daoist partner.]

[After upgrading to a Daoist partner, Fairy Lin's rebates will increase to thirteen times, and she will also share her cultivation and learning experience with you.]

[Currently available Daoist partner slots: 0]

[Please advance to the Core Formation stage to increase your available Daoist partner slots.]

The red thread connecting you and Fairy Lin has been triggered.

Holding your hand, growing old together.

[You have received a portion of the cultivation passed down to you by Fairy Lin. Your current spiritual power is sufficient to condense a first-grade golden core. Alternatively, you can choose to use the demonic energy of the nine-tailed fox demon to condense a demon core. What will you choose?]

Gu Yifan was reluctant to choose.

"Can we have both?"

[If you manage to condense two cores simultaneously, the spiritual energy you'll need for cultivation and the bottlenecks you'll face will double! No one has ever before accomplished such an astonishing feat as simultaneously condensing a demon core and a golden core. The future is uncertain; please choose carefully.]

Gu Yifan sighed. What a load of rubbish! He's already at the Core Formation stage, and he hasn't even learned a single spell.

"I want it all!"

Gu Yifan finally understood. The system might be useful, but it wasn't entirely useful. He could just consider this cultivation as helping him strengthen his body.

While flying and escaping are impossible, surely reaching the limits of human physical capabilities is achievable.

If that's the case, what's there to be afraid of?

"I will not give up either the Golden Core or the Demon Core," Gu Yifan said softly.

[You've made up your mind, even if it defies the world, to win the hearts of many beauties simultaneously. No matter how difficult the journey, nothing can change your feelings for them. Congratulations!]

Gu Yifan's expression froze.

???

Wait a minute, what is that?
Wasn't it supposed to be about forming the Golden Core?

"System? You're broken again?"

[Detecting the host's unwavering belief, the system has begun an automatic upgrade. After the upgrade, this system will be officially renamed—Fairy Conquest System!]

【Stay tuned! 】

OK OK.

Gu Yifan's feelings were somewhat complicated; this cultivation of immortality was indeed not very serious.

at this time.

"Who?"

Zeng Xiaoxian heard the door close, but saw no footsteps for a long time, so he came out of the room to check.

Upon seeing Gu Yifan, Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes immediately lit up.

"Hey, Yifan, what brings you here? Please have a seat."

Gu Yifan interrupted his thoughts, temporarily putting aside the matter of the system upgrade, and looked up at Teacher Zeng, who was fawningly rubbing his hands.

on the sofa.

"Yifan, what brings you here?" Zeng Xiaoxian sat on the single sofa, his face full of anticipation.

"Yes, my sister has replied." Gu Yifan nodded.

"Really! How is it?" Zeng Xiaoxian felt uneasy, as this was crucial to whether he could take an important step in his life.

"Lisa agreed to meet with you alone." Gu Yifan took out his phone and checked the message. "It's a private interview. If you can pass, Teacher Zeng, you can go for the audition."

Zeng Xiaoxian felt a huge weight lifted from his heart and beamed with joy.

"That's awesome! I knew it would work if you, Yifan, took action—no, I mean, if your older sister took action."

Zeng Xiaoxian has already begun to imagine himself becoming a successful TV host and reaching the pinnacle of his life.

But Gu Yifan interrupted her mercilessly, "But Teacher Zeng, how are your preparations going?"

“I’m ready to be a program host,” Zeng Xiaoxian replied confidently.

Gu Yifan rolled his eyes. "I said, have you thought about what your strengths are and why you're qualified for this position?"

Zeng Xiaoxian was immediately a little embarrassed, "Well, I admit I'm not very outstanding in any aspect."

Seeing Gu Yifan sighing, Zeng Xiaoxian rushed over again, trying to hug his leg, "Xiaofan, can you help me out one more time?"

Hey, I knew it.

It is an indisputable fact that Zeng Xiaoxian has no advantage over his competitors.

His only highlight was his academic qualifications: a double master's degree from Jiaotong University, which was quite valuable back then when college graduates weren't everywhere.

Gu Yifan believes that Zeng Xiaoxian's problem wasn't that he couldn't make a good show, but rather that he chose the wrong direction.

If you've taken the wrong path from the start, no amount of effort will help.

For example, in terms of relationships, if Zeng Xiaoxian really understood relationships, how could he have been cheated on for six years?

He has great difficulty handling his own relationships; he's a conflicted person. How can he expect to handle other people's relationships? It's simply impossible.

Being at the bottom is both natural and inevitable.

If Zeng Xiaoxian had just switched to a different program, he wouldn't have been stuck at the bottom of the radio station for so long.

Does Zeng Xiaoxian have nothing special about him? Not at all. His comedic talent is overflowing, and he can always make unexpected choices that are very entertaining.

For example, Lucky Bounce has only aired a few episodes and already has pretty good ratings. If Zeng Xiaoxian can work hard on his comedic hosting skills, he might just be able to carve out his own niche.

But these are all things for later.

Gu Yifan pondered for a moment. Helping Zeng Xiaoxian win over Lisa wouldn't be difficult; all he needed was a bottle of seafood-scented perfume and a little cloth.

"Lisa is planning to interview you at the apartment. I'll go with you, Teacher Zeng, so we can help you."

"Let's put on a good show!" Zeng Xiaoxian said excitedly.

Gu Yifan glanced at him, "Give me some ideas."

Zeng Xiaoxian paused for a moment, then said, "Well, it's almost settled then. After this is over, I'll treat you and Wanyu to dinner at the best restaurant!"

"No need for meals." Gu Yifan thought for a moment, "I heard from Meijia that you've been complaining about your phone editing these past few days, Teacher Zeng?"

“That’s right.” Zeng Xiaoxian paused, then gritted his teeth as he mentioned his phone editor, “That Judy, she can’t even burn a CD properly. I was planning to compile some highlights from the show for my resume, and she ruined it all!”

Gu Yifan asked, "In that case, Professor Zeng, have you considered changing your telephone editor?"

Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes lit up, and he excitedly grabbed Gu Yifan's arm, "Could it be that you, Fan, are willing to come out of seclusion and lend me a hand!"

Gu Yifan shook his head, "No, no, Teacher Zeng, what do you think of Wanyu?"
