Lin Yu widened his eyes and said in shock:
"Qimeng... eating with us?"
Just mentioning Qimeng's name, Lin Yu's eyes twitched three times, almost like a conditioned reflex.
Mo Shangying!
A girl who was only three days older than him, but insisted on him calling her 'elder sister', and even more so, a legendary girl in the Apartment.
She only studied for half a year in her freshman year before dropping out and moving into the Apartment.
The reason for dropping out was... the school taught too simply, and going to school was a waste of time.
And the major she was studying was Pinchuan University's top major—Computer Science!
Dropping out of school and staying at home is equivalent to mooching off the family?
That simply didn't exist on Mo Shangying.
According to Lin Yu's understanding, since turning eighteen, Mo Shangying had become the economic pillar of her family.
That's right.
At an age when others were still asking their parents for living expenses and pocket money, Mo Shangying had already begun to support her family!
As for the source of her income, when Lin Yu was young in his previous life, he always thought it was taking on private jobs such as network security testing to earn some living expenses.
It wasn't until after working for many years and his understanding improved.
That he truly realized the value of the World Ranking in the Global Hacker Competition, independently operating domestic technology forums, testing security vulnerabilities for large enterprises... and many other achievements.
Among the people Lin Yu had come into contact with in his previous life, Mo Shangying was undoubtedly the most high-end talent he had ever met, without exception.
To describe Mo Shangying as a genius hacker girl, Lin Yu even felt it was a bit of an insult to her.
But he couldn't find any other high-sounding words to describe her.
Of course.
The reason why Lin Yu had such a muscle reflex had nothing to do with Mo Shangying's talent and achievements.
It was entirely because of her personality... strange!
She was the girl Lin Yu was most afraid of encountering in the Apartment in his previous life!
Fortunately, he was no longer the naive young boy he used to be.
Living a second life, he would no longer be manipulated by the eccentric girl.
"Xiao Yu, do you still remember what Auntie told you before, that you can open the ordering website on WeChat?"
"The platform's commission is too high, so I quit."
"Shangying is very enthusiastic and helped me create a small website for free."
"Now many old customers are using this website to order flowers from my shop, which is very convenient, and customers are constantly sharing it with others."
"I wanted to give Shangying a red envelope, but she wouldn't accept it. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to treat her to a meal to sincerely express my gratitude."
Chen Qimeng explained the reason for preparing so much food.
"So that's what happened. I'll go tell Shangying later and ask her to come down for dinner."
In his previous life, Lin Yu didn't have any impression of this thank-you dinner.
Thinking about it, he was probably immersed in the pain of his online girlfriend not wanting to meet him and wasn't even at home.
Chen Qimeng glanced sideways at Lin Yu, who was helping to wash the vegetables, and said in a deliberating tone:
"Xiao Yu, doesn't your major require you to buy an SLR camera starting from your junior year?"
"I asked a friend and found out that the latest 5D3 model with two lenses is very affordable this year."
"You also need a computer for editing, right? I don't know much about computers, you can take a look at them in the mall or online, and choose one in the next few days."
"After I sign the contract next week, we'll buy it for you together."
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Lin Yu had never heard these words in his previous life.
Signing the contract... wasn't that the fuse of the tragedy?
So.
Chen Qimeng's initial motivation for eagerly finding a "partner" to get investment money was to buy him an SLR camera and a computer!
The new 5D3 SLR camera that came out in January of this year costs 20,000 yuan for the body alone.
Adding two sets of lenses would cost close to 30,000 yuan.
And she still needed to buy a computer for editing, spending nearly 40,000 yuan.
For Chen Qimeng's current income, she really couldn't afford it.
There's no need to buy the latest and best SLR camera...
And there's no need for such a professional and high-end computer...
Is it worth betting a lifetime for something dispensable like this?
Looking at Chen Qimeng's happy and smiling expression, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel touched.
He didn't want it.
But she wanted to give it.
Using all her strength to give the greatest care to someone with no blood relation.
Lin Yu didn't say any words of refusal.
He knew that no matter what he said, Chen Qimeng wouldn't listen.
She would only think that Lin Yu was afraid of spending money and was saving money for her.
On the contrary, it would have the opposite effect.
It would be better not to stop her and temporarily accept her idea.
And then...
In this life, he would use actions to change everything!
Lin Yu gently hooked the stray hair that fell from Chen Qimeng's cheek and tucked it behind her ear.
Chen Qimeng's smile became even brighter, and she took the vegetables from Lin Yu's hand:
"I'll wash them, Xiao Yu, you go downstairs and tell Shangying that dinner will be ready in an hour."
...
Arriving at the third floor, in front of room 301.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Who is it?"
A lazy voice came from inside the room.
Lin Yu: "Shangying, it's me, Lin Yu, I'm here to..."
Inside the room: "Hehehehehe..."
Before seeing the person, he heard her strange laughter.
Lin Yu knew very well that this laughter was directed at him!
Dead memories began to attack Lin Yu frantically.
In addition to nervousness, he also had a little expectation for the strange laughter.
"Ka..."
The door unlocked, revealing a crack.
Through the crack, he could see the dark room, shining with alternating blue and yellow light.
Lin Yu remembered this light, it was the light from the light strip in front of Mo Shangying's computer.
He could only see the blue and yellow light because the curtains in the room were not open at all.
What kind of normal person keeps the curtains drawn in broad daylight!
"Shangying, can I come in?"
Lin Yu moved closer, ready to push the door open.
The next moment.
A snow-white and slender arm stretched out from inside the door.
Without giving Lin Yu time to struggle or react, she forcibly pulled him into the room.
"Bang!"
"Ka, ka."
The girl at the door quickly closed and locked the door, her movements skilled and seamless.
The room was filled with the pleasant scent of shower gel, it seemed she had just taken a shower.
Mo Shangying was wearing a loose white short-sleeved nightgown, covered with various symbols and letters.
The neckline was loose and half-open, revealing her delicate collarbone.
Half-dried strands of hair stuck to her collarbone, revealing a lazy and casual temperament.
Between the strands of hair, bright and clear eyes sparkled with excitement in the dim room.
Like... a hunter discovering prey!
On Mo Shangying's side, her information box popped up.
【Mo Shangying】
【Age: 20 years old】
【Sect Identity: Array Hall Elder, Traitor of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion】
【Intimacy Level with Host: 41% (Fourth Realm, Spiritual Resonance)】
【Number of Dao Companions (Soul Cultivation/Body Cultivation): (Cannot be viewed temporarily because the intimacy level with the host has not reached the standard)】
【Attribute Skills: (Cannot be viewed temporarily because the host's identity is low)】
【Other Information: (Cannot be viewed temporarily because the host's identity is low)】
【Current Mission:】

【Predicting Heavenly Secrets (Daily Mission): Heavenly secrets are unpredictable. The Elder is deeply trapped in the mist. Observers are clear. Please enlighten the Elder from the outside (predict the next game).】
【Hidden Injuries (Daily Mission): The Elder, who has strange cultivation postures, has not left the hall for a long time, and has hidden injuries in her body that urgently need to be unblocked (massage therapy).】
The genius hacker girl is indeed extraordinary.
She even has two identities!
Although there are not as many missions available as Chi Qingchi, three is not a small number.
What surprised Lin Yu more was the intimacy level between the two.
It is currently second only to the data between him and Aunt Qimeng.
Is this the level of data cultivated through mental and physical torture?
The intimate realm of Spiritual Resonance is not low, and the number of Dao companions cannot be viewed temporarily.
Whether Mo Shangying is Lin Yu's online girlfriend can only be marked with a question mark for now.
Following closely.
The familiar "torture" session began.
Mo Shangying said faintly:
"Xiao Yuzi, you are really rebellious~"
