I turned reality into a romantic comedy

After all, even the scenarios you've listed don't seem like something he and Lin Mu could actually achieve.

Time to get up!

As everyone knows, a childhood friend who can't wake up her childhood friend isn't a good loser, especially when the male protagonist hasn't been beaten to the punch by his sister who lives closer. She can even smoothly launch a series of moves while saying, "Oh dear, what would I do if XX-kun didn't have me?" while starting to make breakfast. This is truly a classic lesson that every childhood friend must learn.

Achievement conditions: Being woken up by the female protagonist who is recognized as your childhood friend, achieving key milestones such as once, ten times, one hundred times, one thousand times, etc., all count as completing one achievement.

Um, referee, does lunch break count?

They really did sleep together at the daycare.

Picking and choosing, I turned my attention to the next item.

Don't be so sloppy!

After waking the male protagonist up, it's time to go to school. Helping him get dressed and straighten his tie is also a must-do for childhood sweethearts. Even after getting to know each other, some close physical contact can still make your heart flutter occasionally.

Achievement conditions: The female protagonist, who is recognized as your childhood friend, carefully tidies her clothes before going out. Reaching key milestones such as once, ten times, one hundred times, one thousand times, etc., will count as completing one achievement.

Dude, is it possible that this isn't a neon-lit area? Where are we supposed to get our school uniforms and ties? Does a red scarf count?

Although he mentally cursed the system for replenishing its energy and not knowing when he would wake up again, Chen Junqian could only grit his teeth and start thinking of a solution since there was a carrot dangling from him for unlocking achievement rewards. After all, as long as you don't give up, there are always more solutions than problems. At this point, he could only change his approach.

Because it's still the National Day holiday, Chen Junqian couldn't immediately test whether the after-school care nap program was feasible. And even if it were feasible, he couldn't think of a way to ask Lin Mu to wake him up a little earlier each day at noon. It seemed too abstract.

Of course, as a children's literature writer who could at least be considered a writer, even if he was a mediocre one, Chen Junqian had a rather rich imagination and quickly came up with a way to try to fool the system.

After all, this system's brain seems to be as simple as Lin Mu's, and it's currently in hibernation. Maybe the conditions for achieving the achievement are like that joke about putting an elephant in a refrigerator in just three steps. As long as the steps are done properly, the result will be automatically approved.

They acted immediately, since Lin Mu had already arranged for him to go out and have fun during the National Day holiday.

But the result—

"Excuse me, Mu Mu hasn't gotten up yet. Why don't you sit in the living room for a while, Jun Qian?"

Faced with Lin Mu's mother, who was somewhat embarrassed as she welcomed him in and tried to go to Lin Mu's room to wake him up, Chen Junqian immediately made a gesture reminiscent of Er Kang's hand gesture:

"Auntie, wait a minute!"

Yeah, what if the opposite happens? If he can't get Lin Mu to wake him up, then he can try waking the other person up.

"Should I go wake them up? We made plans to play together today, but they're still sleeping. What a lazybones."

Facing Lin Mu's mother, Chen Junqian struggled to act as if he'd never even met her before, but she seemed to fall for it, covering her mouth and laughing.

"Okay, okay, then you go and call them. Actually, I already called them, but they completely ignored me. They were already home and still hadn't gotten up. I'm so embarrassed."

After persuading Lin Mu's mother to leave, Chen Junqian changed into his own slippers and walked into the living room, which he always marveled at how spacious it was, no matter how many times he came. He quietly walked to Lin Mu's room and knocked on the closed door.

"Lin Mu—I'm here! Wake up!"

"...?"

There was a sudden, inexplicable noise coming from inside, like someone kicking off the covers and frantically searching for slippers by the bed. About two minutes later, the door to Chen Junqian's room was opened a crack, revealing the other person's eyes and half a face, along with a finger.

"...Go to the study over there for a moment first."

"What's wrong?"

"My hair is so messy... and why did I oversleep? Waaah."

Feeling that Lin Mu would bury his head in the sand forever if he just stood there at the door, Chen Junqian decisively followed the other's instructions, turned around, and went into the study next door. While Lin Mu dashed into the washbasin area, Chen Junqian also checked his progress.

Unfortunately, this reverse approach was not recognized by the system, but thinking about it, it makes sense, since people are supposed to be woken up by the other party when they write.

Even through the door, you could hear Lin Mu anxiously calling out, "Mom, where did I put my comb?" "Mom, is my washcloth still hanging on the balcony?" Chen Junqian wholeheartedly agreed, since his family's situation was much the same. At most, he would add, "Dad, where's Mom?"

After a long while, the study door was finally opened again from the outside. Lin Mu, who had changed out of her pajamas and tidied herself up inside and out, still seemed a little uneasy and was trying to press down the two sticking-up tufts of hair on her head. She looked a little embarrassed when she saw Chen Junqian.

"I overslept... I'm sorry."

"It's alright, we didn't have to wait long."

In addition, it allowed him to verify the feasibility of another way to achieve an achievement.

However, seeing Lin Mu's still somewhat apologetic expression, Chen Junqian remembered another method he had thought of before coming, and thus offered his idea:

"If you really feel bad, then Lin Mu, how about you wake me up this time? Right here."

"here?"

Lin Mu tilted his head in confusion, seemingly not understanding Chen Junqian's meaning.

"Qianqian, you're not asleep right now, are you just very sleepy?"

"Can I pretend I'm asleep?"

After saying this, Chen Junqian, already deeply immersed in the role, leaned back on the sofa in the study, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.

After waiting and waiting for a while, he still hadn't heard that sentence. Just as Chen Junqian was about to open his eyes to see what was going on, he suddenly felt his right shoulder being gently grasped and shaken. At the same time, he heard a soft, warm breathy voice, like a whisper, in his right ear:

"Hey—get up, the sun's already shining on your butt."

Startled, Chen Junqian quickly shifted to the left, instinctively opening his eyes and exclaiming in shock at Lin Mu, who had somehow climbed onto the sofa to his right:

Why are you suddenly speaking so softly in my ear?

"Because if we're too loud, Mom will definitely hear us and wonder what we're doing!"

But you're clearly being very loud right now!

After a sudden, loud exchange, the two fell silent, then looked at each other in silence and began to laugh again.

"Fool."

It was unclear whether he was referring to Chen Junqian or himself, but after muttering this to himself, Lin Mu then took the initiative to say:

"I did oversleep this time, so next time Qianqian will have another chance to oversleep. I'll go to your house and wake you up so I can wait a little longer, okay? ... Wait, I've never been to your house before."

"You can come today. My parents have been saying for a long time that they want to treat you to a meal in return."

"Hehe, that's fine, I'll just tell my mom in a bit."

Lin Mu seemed particularly happy about Chen Junqian's invitation, and then winked at him:

"But unlike last time, Qianqian doesn't have to ask what he likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat."

"After all, you already knew all this—right?"

Chapter 34: Achievement Completed! (Seeking First Subscription)

"I've already spent the whole day playing computer games at home yesterday, so let's go out for a walk with Junqian today. Yangning Park is fine too. Here, this pocket money should be enough."

Watching Lin Mu's mother casually pull out a hundred-yuan bill from her pocket and hand it over, and Lin Mu's classmate equally casually handing over the money, Chen Junqian indeed had the thought of avoiding twenty years of hard work for a moment.

However, it seems that in the eyes of class monitor Lu Cheng, he has already become that kind of person, especially after Lin Mu treated him to breakfast for a month in a row.

"Is your family always this generous with allowances?"

As Chen Junqian and Lin Mu walked out the door and down the stairs, Chen Junqian asked them this question out of curiosity.

"No, not really. Today I mainly benefited from your help, Qianqian. If it were just me on my own, I would only get fifty at most."

"Fifty is quite an exaggeration..."

"Really? I feel like I spend money pretty quickly on my own."

"If you had been a little more frugal, you wouldn't have ended up with only nine yuan and fifty cents after losing two hundred yuan."

As a reborn individual, Chen Junqian was well aware that Guoning's pecan industry would soon decline like the receding tide after its rapid development over the past decade. This was especially true for raw material suppliers like Lin Mu's family, who were at the very bottom of the industrial chain. On the one hand, the pecan industry in Lin'an, Zhejiang, was also developing rapidly, squeezing Guoning's market share. On the other hand, the rise of e-commerce caused most businesses that failed to adapt in time to miss the best opportunity and fall behind the times.

Although it's obviously unnecessary to tell Lin Mu all this right now, Chen Junqian really wanted to correct his childhood sweetheart's slightly extravagant spending habit. It just so happens that her birthday is at the end of this month, so he and Xu Youwei will make her a cute and exquisite piggy bank, inspired by an episode of "Artistic Creativity".

As the two walked to the bus stop at the entrance, they belatedly realized that because Lin Mu's mother had given them a whole hundred-yuan bill, they couldn't take the bus without any change.

With no other option, the two of them went to a small shop by the roadside to buy something and get change from their large bills.

Since they had just eaten, neither of them planned to buy any snacks. Chen Junqian initially had his eye on Wrigley's gum, which was always displayed in front of the checkout counter in stores these days, while Lin Mu wandered around the beverage counter.

Compared to other children of the same age, Chen Junqian noticed that Lin Mu didn't seem to have any particular interest in carbonated drinks.

Chen Junqian had no doubt that this was probably because the other girl's parents had said something like, "Carbonated drinks are bad for your health. Drinking too much will stunt Mu Mu's growth." And the other girl actually believed it. After all, judging from Lin Mu's miserable face while swallowing vegetables in the after-school care, it was entirely possible.

Perhaps because he had plenty of money on hand, the child spent a long time picking and choosing before finally bringing over two bottles of brightly colored Magic Ice.

This thing is definitely one of the most high-end drinks for Chen Junqian's age. Its fancy packaging, unique shape, and high price of four yuan made it a status symbol among elementary school students. Many people would even keep the bottle to use as a water bottle after finally buying it once.

Incidentally, when Chen Junqian grew up and had an income, he wanted to indulge in some serious childhood spending again, only to find that the brand had already been discontinued.

"Does Qianqian like to drink this?"

Although Chen Junqian really wanted to reply, "Do I look like someone who used to drink this all the time?", since the other party was kindly treating him, he said "yes" instead, and then the two of them took their drinks, paid the bill, and got their change.

When Lin Mu received the hundred-yuan bill, the cashier lady at the front desk examined it carefully under the sunlight to make sure it was genuine and not counterfeit before accepting it. She then took back the change and put all of it into Lin Mu's pocket, zipped it up, and put it away.

After a long time without tasting the Magic Ice drink, which now seemed a little too sweet, Chen Junqian chewed on the fruit pieces a couple of times. He felt that it was pretty much the same as the real fruit pieces he would often receive from relatives during holidays. However, Lin Mu seemed to like it quite a bit, and her eyes narrowed happily as she took small sips.

It has to be said that the number of people during the National Day holiday was much higher than usual, even at bus stops and on buses. As a result, the two of them couldn't even get on the first bus and had to wait for the second bus to come before they could squeeze on. However, they still couldn't get seats and could only stand in the corner.

It's a pity that there aren't any options like "wall slam" in the achievements for childhood sweethearts, otherwise Chen Junqian could have taken this opportunity to get one. After all, as more and more people got on the bus, he, being slightly taller, naturally stood in front of Lin Mu to help her share the pressure of the crowd.

After finally reaching the Yangning Park bus stop, Chen Junqian instinctively took Lin Mu's hand again, saying "Excuse me" as he pulled her off the bus, and then immediately let go of her hand.

"...There are just too many people."

"After all, it's a holiday, a long holiday like National Day."

Perhaps because he and Xu Youwei had frequented the almost deserted park so many times after school, Chen Junqian was a little taken aback by the sudden surge of people at Yangning Park. However, Lin Mu, who was next to him, had already taken his hand back, which he had just let go of, but deliberately kept her eyes looking ahead instead of at him, muttering to herself:

"So, is there anything you'd like to play, Qianqian?"

As the largest park in Guoning, Yangning Park is naturally not lacking in various amusement facilities. Especially during holidays, the various stalls that he and Xu Youwei used to see closing up have now been fully revived, with each stall crowded with people.

Where is Mu Mu?

Perhaps due to their physical contact, Chen Junqian unconsciously changed how he addressed Lin Mu, but Lin Mu seemed completely unconcerned, gesturing towards several stalls ahead:

"You can play both!"

As she spoke, she deliberately shook her right thigh, causing the pocket inside to tremble and rustle, demonstrating the validity of her words.

If the system in Chen Junqian's mind were still awake at this moment, it would probably shout, "My God, this is practically a temple fair/cultural festival!" But in reality, the two countries are not that different in terms of street entertainment facilities; at least classic ring toss and air gun balloon shooting are not lacking.

The first activity the two lined up for was the basketball shooting machine. Although it looked simple, it was quite difficult to get a high score, especially for the two children who were not tall enough. Towards the end, they just threw the balls randomly. There were often scenes where Chen Junqian's ball was intercepted in mid-air by Lin Mu's ball, or the two balls rushed towards the basket at the same time and fell out of the basket after bumping into each other. If you didn't know better, you would think that the two of them were competing against each other.

There was no other way, because Lin Mu knew he was no match for Chen Junqian in this area and absolutely refused to compete separately from him, which led to the current scene of the two of them standing on a basketball shooting machine, wildly dancing towards a basket.

Compared to not getting many points and not winning any prizes, they did break a sweat on the basketball shooting machine. When it came to the ring toss game, Chen Junqian and Lin Mu performed quite well, but this was also related to their strategy of not even trying on the big, obviously valuable plush toys in the center. In the end, they came back with a bunch of random bracelets and small ornaments.

"I read in a book that these ring toss games are filled with wire, and some of the prizes in the game are placed under magnets to change the direction and trajectory of the rings when thrown."

Although Chen Junqian himself didn't know whether Lin Mu was telling the truth or not, he hadn't really gotten anything good in his two lifetimes combined, so he nodded in agreement.

After playing ring toss, they went to play air gun shooting at balloons. Lin Mu probably wasn't really interested in guns and completely gave the opportunity to Chen Junqian, while he clapped and cheered him on from the side. This attracted the attention of many other tourists, making Chen Junqian feel a lot of pressure.

However, compared to his terrible eyesight in his previous life, Chen Junqian performed quite well after returning to his peak, thanks to his fast reaction time and focus. In the end, he got a fox plush toy from the boss.

It will become popular all over the country in the future. Even Chen Junqian himself had been playing "League of Legends" for a long time. At this time, it had not yet been launched in the Chinese server. The Ahri they know now is not the nine-tailed fox queen in the game, but a red little fox mascot that was first designed in 2005 and has become popular all over the country in the past few years. Many girls in the class use it for their book covers and social media backgrounds.

"Do you like it? It's for you."

"Okay, thank you."

After all, Lin Mu had already given Chen Junqian a gift once before, so Lin Mu did not refuse Chen Junqian's gift this time and accepted it generously.

"Let's go inside and take a boat ride."

After playing on all the amusement facilities in the plaza outside the park, Lin Mu took the initiative to suggest that Xu Youwei might be a little tired. Compared to Xu Youwei, who could run around with Chen Junqian for hours after school every day and easily overpower him, this child's stamina was indeed a bit worrying.

"Well, let's go."

Once inside the park, Chen Junqian and Lin Mu headed towards the ticket booth. Since the latter had to pay for tickets, Chen Junqian took the initiative to reach out and take the plush toys and drinks from the other person, filling both his hands with his own drinks and bracelet.

When Lin Mu finished buying the tickets and the two were about to board the ship, the other person looked down with some confusion and noticed something.

"Qianqian, your shoelaces are untied."

However, she quickly noticed that Chen Junqian's hands were full of things, and he couldn't free up either hand, so she immediately spoke up again:

"Don't move, let me help you tie it."

As she spoke, she squatted down on the ground, reached out with both hands, and untied Chen Junqian's half-loose shoelaces. However, Chen Junqian seemed to suddenly remember something, took two steps back, and retreated back into the manager's cabin.

"Don't move around—it'll be quick, very quick... Although this is my first time helping someone else tie theirs, it should be about the same as tying your own, right?"

Lin Mu thought Chen Junqian was a little shy, so she squatted down and, without looking up, took two more steps toward him like a little duck, and continued to persistently fiddle with the two shoelaces.
