Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

"Get a good rest tonight, and if you don't want to go to work tomorrow, then don't."

Arriving near the educated youth settlement, Xia An put An Lan down and whispered,

"If I let my woman go hungry or cold while I'm here, then I've lived in vain."

"Uh-huh!"

An Lan smiled and nodded repeatedly.

She kissed Xia An on the corner of her lips, then turned and left.

Seeing that she was still feeling somewhat unwell, Xia An reminded her:

"Come to the place where I'm keeping watch tomorrow night, I'll bring you some things."

An Lan turned around and smiled, "Since it was given to me by my man, I will definitely accept it."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the educated youth settlement.

Xia An watched her walk into the women's quarters, then turned and disappeared into the night.

Back in the Xie family's side room, Xia An picked up her watch and glanced at it.

It's 12 o'clock.

He shook his head, lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and stared intently at the roof beams.

He had only given An Lan a little bit of spiritual spring water; he hadn't used up any Rejuvenation Pills.

After using it on Yang Yanqiu last night, he realized something.

Both have similar effects, and the spiritual spring water may even be slightly more effective.

However, if it's to be presented to the public, then the Rejuvenating Pill is definitely better, which is easier to explain.

After that, it can be used on his people to make use of the spiritual spring water.

However, we absolutely avoid using the spiritual spring water with outsiders to minimize unnecessary trouble.

Thinking this, Xia An pulled up the sign-in notification message.

Two more sign-ins!

Rewards for daily check-ins: 10 taels of gold, Culinary Mastery, and 10 boxes of face cream.

Special sign-in rewards include: a fixed-point compass, a vest, and a heart-shaped seal.

Seeing these rewards, Xia An nodded slightly, not particularly surprised.

The appearance of the disguise made his eyes light up slightly, and he murmured:

"It seems that this vest is very likely to be a must-have reward for the first special sign-in."

He smiled and first received the non-item rewards, which were two skills.

His exceptional culinary skills, needless to say, have given him a wealth of experience in cooking.

All the dishes that have ever appeared in the world today can be readily replicated.

In addition, you can also make suitable dishes by combining existing ingredients and seasonings.

"That's a good skill."

"But it's best not to expose it, otherwise you'll easily become the most miserable laborer."

Xia An muttered to himself.

If it were revealed that he could cook, and even cook top-notch dishes, wouldn't it be a huge loss to have him cook for us from then on?

We can't lose money, we should be exhausted!

Even if he loves his woman dearly, he should prevent such things from happening again.

Yes, that's it!

Xia An thought to himself as he looked at another skill—Heart-to-Heart Seal.

Everyone talks about hearts being in perfect harmony, but he'd never heard of a single heart being in perfect harmony before. This skill is quite interesting.

Heart Seal, a passive skill.

After having physical contact with someone of the opposite sex, if that person appears within ten meters, one will imagine how much they are attracted to them.

The level of attraction is divided into seven levels: resentment, disgust, aversion, indifference, fondness, liking, and attraction.

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly; this seemed to be a skill he really wanted!

However, what are the characteristics and effects of these seven levels?

Curious, and with no explanation of the skill, he decided to ask directly:

—System, the Heart Seal skill has been raised by 7 levels of Devotion. What are the effects of each level?

"..."

The system seemed to pause for a moment, before its ethereal voice slowly began to ring out.

"I harbor resentment, I wish you were dead, and given the chance, I might kill you at any moment."

"If there's no opportunity, I'll create one and kill you."

"I loathe you, I dislike you, I don't want to see you, and if I have the chance to cause you trouble, I won't hesitate to do so."

"Even if this trouble might kill you, she wouldn't care."

"I feel aversion, a slight dislike for you, I don't want to have contact with you, and I will deliberately keep my distance."

"If she had the chance to cause you a little trouble, she would hesitate to act, but she wouldn't want to see you suffer life-or-death ordeals because of her."

"It's bland; I don't actively seek out others, and I only maintain the most superficial level of social interaction."

"I like you, I don't dislike you, I think you're alright, and I'd be willing to take the initiative to contact you."

"If you encounter any trouble, she won't hesitate to offer a little help."

"If I like you, I'll take the initiative to get closer to you, I'll subconsciously accommodate you, I'll care about your opinions, and I'll miss you after we break up."

"If you encounter trouble, we will provide you with all kinds of help, even if it comes at a great cost."

"I'm head over heels for you, I want to be with you no matter what, and I'm willing to give everything for you."

"If you like her, she'll do anything to be with you, even if it means being the third party."

"If you encounter trouble, I will find a way to help you, even at the cost of my life."

"If you die, her world will be plunged into darkness, with no light left to be found."

Xia An nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with the system's explanation.

He was curious about the social standing of the women he had been in contact with so far.

At that moment, a melodious voice drifted over:

"Host, you know best where you come from, and you should understand that:"

"True love is hard to find, so cherish every moment!"

Xia An's expression tightened slightly, and she nodded solemnly.

In today's melting pot, the probability of meeting someone you truly fall for is less than one in ten thousand.

If you really encounter such a thing, it would be a real fool not to cherish it!

The same applies to this day.

If you meet someone you truly love, cherish them like a treasure!

Xia An never intended to be a scumbag, and this reminder only reinforced that belief.

He took a deep breath, entered the spiritual spring space, and drank a mouthful of spiritual spring water.

Feeling his physical condition instantly recover and even slightly stronger, he couldn't help but smile.

Immediately, with a thought, he appeared on the eighth floor of the warehouse.

The other rewards were unmentioned, but the fixed-point compass piqued his curiosity.

The new vest made him even more excited.

Xia An's gaze fell on the compass, where he saw two pointers, one long and one short.

As his gaze fell upon it, the information quietly surfaced in his mind:

Fixed-point compass, a special type of item.

A compass point can be set at a location, and the compass needle will always point to that set point, regardless of the user's location.

A maximum of two points can be set.

The long pointer points to the first location, and the short pointer points to the second location.

If a third point appears, the first point will disappear, and the point will be instantly teleported.

Xia An's eyes brightened slightly. "Isn't this just a compass?"

"wrong,"

"It should be a compass needle!"

Xia An murmured softly, a hint of joy appearing on her face.
