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

Chapter 50: Get Stronger by Taking Drugs!
Suite 3601.

"Achoo! Achoo!"

Gu Yifan sneezed several times in a row, and now he was rubbing his nose, wondering if he had caught a cold.

Did you eat ice cream?
Gu Yifan was standing in front of Lin Wanyu's bedroom door. Of course, it wasn't because he was moved by Lin Wanyu's persistence that he switched rooms with her.

Lin Wanyu couldn't carry the mattress up to the second floor by herself, so Gu Yifan helped her.

"Gu Yifan, you haven't caught a cold, have you?"

Lin Wanyu was happily taking out all sorts of odds and ends she had bought at the supermarket to decorate her new bedroom.

Turning around to ask, she saw Gu Yifan rubbing his nose and couldn't help but wonder.

"Maybe it's too cold on the plane?" Gu Yifan said casually.

As a result, Lin Wanyu's eyes widened, she immediately put down what she was doing, rushed over and pushed Gu Yifan out.

"what?"

"Thank you for helping me. I can handle the rest myself now. You can go and get some rest. Goodnight!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you're not worried about me catching a cold and giving it to you, are you?"

At the doorway, several black lines appeared on Gu Yifan's forehead.

Looking at the guilty Lin Wanyu, did he not know what she was up to?

"How could that be?" Lin Wanyu stood at the door, smiled at Gu Yifan, and then closed the door without hesitation.

"Good night~"

"Oh!"

She's just worried about getting infected!
Gu Yifan stared at the door for a few moments, then shook his head, deciding to let it go; he wouldn't argue with a childish little girl.

Turn around and go downstairs.

Gu Yifan glanced at the clock on the wall; it was almost 10:30. However, for most urban white-collar workers, nightlife was just beginning.

They toil like beasts of burden during the day, and nighttime is when they can relax without restraint.

I reckon Hu Yifei and Zhanbo won't be back anytime soon.

Gu Yifan hesitated for a moment, then turned and went into his room.

"Snapped!"

The lights come on.

Gu Yifan then had time to look around his room.

It's not big, less than ten square meters, but it's definitely enough. The window faces the bed, and the bedside lamp is on.

Careless Lin Wanyu.

Teacher Zeng tidied up very well, except for the bed, which was a bit messy, probably because Lin Wanyu had been rolling around on it.

Gu Yifan noticed a crumpled note in the trash can next to the bed.

what is this?
After hesitating, Gu Yifan reached out and took it out, then unfolded it again for a second look.

"."

"That Teacher Zeng." Gu Yifan felt a toothache after reading the contents. It was undoubtedly Lin Wanyu who had read it and thrown it in the trash.

This seems somewhat like an attempt to cover up the truth.

After all, the trash can wasn't lined with a trash bag; there was only this wad of paper inside, all alone.

"Change the sheets and blankets."

Gu Yifan prepared to change the sheets and blankets.

Lin Wanyu lay down without changing her clothes. Even though he wasn't a germaphobe, he felt he should change them first.

After a flurry of activity.

Gu Yifan changed his clothes; although it was still a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, it was clean.

He will be sitting at his desk.

"Well then, it's time to take stock of what we've gained." Gu Yifan rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining.

If we're talking about quirks, Gu Yifan has them too.

He likes to save the rewards and surprises for last, accumulating them all together for the final celebration.

Even when it comes to playing games, they fall into the category of hoarders.

Now that he has the system, Gu Yifan feels like he's playing some kind of virtual reality game. Perhaps because he's only been in the world for a day, it still feels like a dream.

Gu Yifan took out all the 'rewards' one by one and placed them on the desk.

Two strings of candied hawthorn skewers, one with hawthorn and walnuts, the other a fruit skewer. [Barrier-Breaking Pill x6] [Vermilion Fruit x3] [Mysterious Yellow Fruit x3]

Gu Yifan guessed that the so-called "Vermilion Fruit" was grapes? Then the "Mysterious Yellow Fruit" was oranges.

There was also a bottle of "Marrow Cleansing Pill" obtained from Lü Ziqiao, which was actually just a powerful pill that only had the effect of lubricating the intestines and relieving constipation.

[Premium Elixir] Free mints at the restaurant.

Looking at the pile of strange things on the table, Gu Yifan fell into deep thought. Could these really be taken as panaceas?

In addition, there was a world map provided by Lin Wanyu, a small black book from the priest, and a cross necklace that the priest specially gave to Gu Yifan when he returned the clothes.

[Exorcising Artifact (Lower Grade Mystic)]

[Accelerates the flow of spiritual energy, has a certain deterrent effect on evil spirits and young boys, and increases charm and stamina by 1 when worn.]

Gu Yifan's gaze lingered on the 'little boy' for a long time.

That's good. Kids, especially boys, can be described as lively, or as too naughty and noisy. Having this term can help keep kids away from being naughty, which is pretty good.
Not bad at all! Are there evil spirits in this world? The only real use of this magical artifact is that it can improve some basic attributes.

Gu Yifan's attempt to console himself failed, and he questioned the system.

"System, explain this to me, what does this term mean?"

no respond
Gu Yifan shook his head, trying to shake some strange thoughts out of his mind.

He hesitated for a moment, then started eating the candied hawthorns first, since they were not easy to preserve and the sugar would melt if he didn't eat them quickly.

[You have taken the Breakthrough Pill, and the bottleneck of the fourth level of Qi Refining has begun to be broken.]

[Congratulations on breaking through several levels in just one day since you entered the fifth level of Qi Refining! You are exceptionally talented and have the potential to become a Great Emperor!]

Gu Yifan

[Qi Refining Stage 5 (lv.5)]

[Technique: Fragment of a Taoist Scripture]

[Spiritual Power: 50/50]

[Qi and Blood: 11]

【Energy: 12】

【Charm: 16】

[Comprehension Aptitude: 5]

[Bound Team: Lin Wanyu, Xinling]

These attributes have all roughly doubled, with the increase in charm being particularly noticeable.

But Gu Yifan also had doubts about this: what are the attributes of an ordinary person?

Ten, that's the highest it can get.

If that's the case, his attributes already surpass those of ordinary people, let alone transforming him into a Homelander.

He's at least at the peak of an average person, capable of taking on ten people at once. Winning a dozen or so Olympic gold medals in the Games would be no problem at all, right?
But Gu Yifan didn't feel that there was much change.

At most, I feel much better, not tired at all, and my body feels light without any heaviness from exertion. I just carried the mattress up to the second floor all by myself.

It can't be a beggar's version of the prehistoric world, where the Tongtian Sect Leader breaks a tree trunk with a single palm strike, can it?
In the end, Gu Yifan could only conclude that this place was not a true world of immortals and heroes, and that the improvement in strength might not be significant.

The only thing that's somewhat obvious is charm.

Charm is not just about looks; temperament, approachability, and the overall feeling one gives others also play a significant role.

Gu Yifan could clearly feel that he had become more handsome. He could tell from the fact that every time Lin Wanyu looked at him, she would freeze for a moment and then quickly turn her head away.

This is just a level 5 weakling. If he really reaches level 100, Gu Yifan feels he'll become the kind of male succubus whose every smile and frown drives people crazy.
"Never mind, as long as there's something to gain, that's enough."

Gu Yifan comforted himself, thinking that spiritual energy seemed to accumulate and wouldn't stop accumulating just because he reached a bottleneck.

Then let's keep pushing the boundaries!

[You have already taken one Breakthrough Pill, which has led to some drug resistance. Taking another Breakthrough Pill will significantly reduce your chances of breaking through. We recommend taking two pills.]

Okay, okay, so drug resistance can develop, right?
Gu Yifan could understand. If you eat two pills when you go from level five to six, then you would eat four pills when you go from level six to seven.

As expected.

After finishing a string of candied hawthorns, he successfully broke through to the seventh level of the Qi Refining stage.

Next came the fruit skewers, which Gu Yifan devoured in a few bites, increasing his comprehension to six and his spiritual energy by sixty points.

In the end, Gu Yifan set his sights on Lu Ziqiao's "power pills".

[The superior Marrow Cleansing Pill has a certain effect on cleansing the marrow and strengthening the bones, but it may have some side effects.]

To eat or not?
