Twin female zombies come to the door: My lord, please have mercy!

The next morning, the sunlight pierced through the thin mist of Jiangzhou's old town and shone precisely on the three-meter-wide super king-size bed.

Lin Ye opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath of hot, stale air.

The pure yang energy that filled his body circulated throughout his limbs and bones overnight.

He casually picked up his phone, which was lying next to his pillow, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and skillfully opened the Jiangzhou Commercial Bank's mobile app.

The screen switched, and a long string of zeros was so bright it was blinding.

[Current available balance: 128,500,000.00 yuan]

Lin Ye stared at the string of numbers, his lips curving upwards in a wild, uncontrollable smile.

"Before, when I went to the wholesale market to buy yellow paper for mounting, I had to haggle with the vendors by the kilogram. Now, if I wanted, I could just buy that bamboo forest in Nanshan and use it as the frame for paper-making."

Lin Ye did some mental calculations and concluded that the sense of security brought by real money was far more tangible than any mystical arts or magic.

This life of living off a woman while also juggling part-time gaming is getting more and more enjoyable the more you savor it.

A series of angry, smashing sounds came from the lobby downstairs.

Lin Ye put on loose-fitting athletic pants, revealing his muscular upper body, and walked down the stairs in slippers.

On the sofa in the living room, Ayougu slammed a brand-new smartphone onto the coffee table, her hands rummaging through her dreadlocks.

The Miao silver ring around her neck clanged rapidly, and her face was filled with despair.

"Manager Lin! Come over here right now and help me fix this lousy facial recognition!"

When Ayougu saw Lin Ye come downstairs, she immediately jumped up and started cursing at her phone screen.

"What kind of ridiculous anti-addiction system is this! I, a dignified saintess from the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Miao Territory, am playing Li Bai, and it's telling me I'm a minor and can't log in! I don't even have an ID card, yet it's making me fill out a real-name authentication form. Isn't this bullying unregistered people?!"

Lin Ye rolled his eyes.

"If you're bad at the game, practice more. Don't spend all your time thinking about spending money on skins."

Lin Ye walked to the coffee table, picked up his phone, glanced at the health system prompt that popped up on the screen, entered his personal information with a hint of annoyance, and winked at the camera.

Authentication successful.

Ayougu cheered, snatched the phone, and curled up in the corner of the sofa again, without even saying thank you.

Lin Ye shook his head and turned to look towards the backyard.

Inside the obsidian meditation chamber underground, which cost millions to build, wisps of cold air were constantly emanating from it.

That place is so cold that water freezes instantly, but the little girl is treating it like a giant ice cream parlor. Right now, she's probably drooling on a century-old lightning-struck tree.

A rich aroma of freshly ground coffee beans wafted from the open kitchen counter.

Leng Yue stood in front of the top-of-the-line fully automatic espresso machine worth over ten thousand yuan, her slender, fair fingers skillfully operating the control panel.

Zombies don't need to consume human drinks, so this bitter coffee held no appeal for her.

She happened to learn how to operate these complicated modern machines, simply because she discovered that after Lin Ye drank this dark, thick soup, the pure yang energy in his body would become more active and hot.

"My lord, the heat is just right today."

Leng Yue, carrying a steaming cup of Americano, slowly walked up to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye took the coffee cup, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp.

The bitter liquid slid down my throat, instantly refreshing me.

The cold moon did not recede.

She slightly raised her hand, her index and middle fingers joined together, and gently placed her cool, soft fingertips on the aorta on the side of Lin Ye's neck.

A strong, powerful pulse beat beneath her fingertips.

She was using this clandestine method to check on the physical condition of her "power pump".

Lin Ye felt the touch on her neck, his Adam's apple bobbing, and he grabbed her slender wrist.

"My husband is in very good health and doesn't need to have his pulse checked every morning."

Lin Ye's voice was slightly hoarse as he gently rubbed her pulse point with his thumb.

The two were locked in a tense standoff, caught in an ambiguous temperature difference, when suddenly a screeching sound of a sports car braking came from outside the glass door.

A bright red Porsche sports car was parked across the bluestone pavement of Taiping Old Street.

The car door opened, and the famous anchor Jiang Ling, wearing a pair of sky-high heels, strode into the funeral parlor.

Today she wore a burgundy deep V-neck fitted suit, exuding a mature and voluptuous charm that was both sophisticated and capable.

She was carrying two beautifully packaged gift boxes, and before she could even stand up straight, her voice came through.

"Expert Lin! My benefactor Lin! I've come all this way today to express my sincere gratitude!"

As soon as Jiang Ling entered the room, her gaze immediately fell upon the image of Lin Ye holding Leng Yue's wrist.

Her eyelids twitched, and her gaze lingered on Leng Yue's stunningly beautiful face for two seconds before she wisely took a half step back and placed the gift box on the coffee table.

The live broadcast from Jiangda Affiliated Primary School the night before last completely overturned her worldview.

I witnessed firsthand how lightning and fire shattered the blood-red words that filled the sky.

Jiang Ling knew perfectly well that the man in front of her was no physicist; he was a living god walking among mortals.

"Miss Jiang, what brings you to my humble abode so early in the morning?"

Lin Ye released Leng Yue's hand, sat down in the armchair, and picked up his coffee cup.

Jiang Ling smiled broadly and moved closer to the table.

"Master Lin, your hardcore science explanation of arc discharge last night sent my live stream to the top of the trending topics across the entire internet! I gained five million followers in one night! The server was almost overwhelmed by the donations!"

Her eyes shone, and her tone was full of fervent adoration and probing.

"I brought a small gift today and would like to invite you to lunch. Also, I would like to invite you to be a long-term guest on my live science channel."

"Name your price, and we'll split the livestream revenue 50/50! With you, this big shot, here I am, I'll dare to venture into any haunted house or haunted mansion!"

Lin Ye sat behind the mahogany cabinet, took out a calculator from the drawer, and tapped the keys twice with his fingers.

He raised his head, his face full of righteousness, his tone awe-inspiring.

"Miss Jiang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. What era are we living in? You have to believe in science."

Lin Ye pointed to the outside of the shop.

"I'm just an ordinary electricity enthusiast. As a public figure with millions of followers, your frequent visits to my funeral shop that sells urns for ashes are likely to cause misunderstandings and create a sense of magnetic field bias among the neighbors."

"Want to repay a debt of gratitude? Just send money. Don't bother with these fancy dinners and meals."

Jiang Ling was speechless, choked by Lin Ye's unyielding words.

Having been in the influencer circle for so many years, she's seen all sorts of tricks.

I've never seen anyone so adept at making greed sound so fresh, refined, and self-righteous.

In front of the retina, a semi-transparent light curtain silently unfolds.

"Ding! My Lord, please exercise self-restraint. System notification: A streamer with tens of millions of views has been detected offering themselves up for free."

"In the internet age, information asymmetry is money. Host, please finalize a cooperation plan within three minutes and squeeze every last drop of value from the other party!"
