"Yes!" Lin Haoren firmly answered before asking with concern, "You don’t mind if I watch, do you, Grandpa?"
"Not at all." Grandpa Guo waved his hand dismissively, showing his open mind and generosity. Then, he eagerly pulled Lin Haoren over to his group and said, "Watching is fine, but how can it compare to actual practice?"
"How about it? Do you want to learn Taijiquan from us, Young Man?" Grandpa Guo asked.
"Is that okay?"
"Definitely!"
Grandpa Guo and the other elderly men laughed with joy after receiving Lin Haoren’s confirmation. The sparkle in his eyes proved his genuine interest in Taijiquan.
"Alright, come and join us. Just copy Grandpa Guo’s movements for now, and I’ll teach you the principles as we go."
"Thank you, Grandpa Guo. You can just call me, Xiao Lin."
"Alright, Xiao Lin."
Moments later, Lin Haoren joined the elders in practicing Taijiquan. It didn’t take two minutes for everyone to be stunned by his standardized movements.
"Huh? Have you practiced Taijiquan before, Xiao Lin?"
"Not at all. This is my first time practicing Taijiquan, Grandpa Guo. I’ve only just watched you practice it until now."
Lin Haoren’s honest answer left Grandpa Guo’s group in greater shock. They looked at him like they were looking at a monster.
Indeed, with their expertise, it was easy to verify the truth.
They could see that his forms were not very practiced, but his understanding of Taijiquan was very solid. He was nothing like a beginner.
Was this a natural prodigy?
He even has a tuxedo cat!
"Hahaha, good!" Grandpa Guo suddenly laughed, patting Lin Haoren on the shoulder. "It seems you are quite fated with Taijiquan, Xiao Lin."
"Your understanding of Taijiquan is already solid. You just lack practice and self-enlightenment."
"You should invest more time in practice."
Grandpa Guo’s group realized they had little to teach Lin Haoren. Everyone’s Taijiquan was a little different, just as everyone’s body was.
Taijiquan could not be mastered by following another person’s teachings.
One could only rely on oneself.
As the saying goes, "Teachers only show the way, while the students have to walk on their own."
By the time Lin Haoren went home and freshened up, it was already 8:05 am. Still, he decided to cook breakfast rather than buy it.
He didn’t want to miss the chance to improve his cooking skills.
If the intermediate level was already this good, what about the advanced, expert, and master levels?
Lin Haoren was eager to find out.
Within 30 minutes, a simple pot of congee with pickled vegetables and salted egg was ready.
After filling up Oreo’s bowl, Lin Haoren sat down, preparing to dig into his own meal when his phone suddenly buzzed with a new message.
[RanRanCat: Brother Lin, you absolutely must not fall for those shameless vixens’ tricks online! (Angry) (angry) (angry)]
[Chasing Dawn: ???]
Lin Haoren was full of questions, but he quickly realized what Su Xiaoran was talking about. He couldn’t help but feel amused.
After setting his phone aside, it buzzed again.
This time, it was a message from QuickBeat confirming that his application for the creator reward program had been approved.
So fast!
Lin Haoren felt excited at once and quickly logged into QuickBeat to check the backend data.

Lin Haoren stared blankly at the withdrawable balance and felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. Even junior office workers didn’t necessarily earn this much in a year!
His rent was covered!
He could afford a new phone!
He could also afford a new pc!
Lin Haoren pressed the withdraw balance button with his nervous finger and watched the total estimated earnings reduce to zero.
QuickBeat’s internal processing was instant, but the bank still needed some time.
Lin Haoren ate his breakfast in a daze. He cleaned up in a daze.
Paced back and forth around the room nervously. He had never seen so much money. There wouldn’t be any issue during the transfer, would there?
Buzz!
[Jinhai Commercial Bank: Your account ending in 4821 has received a transfer of 67,300.00 yuan. Current available balance: 69,655.26 yuan.]
"Hahahaha! We’re rich, Oreo! We don’t have to scrape by anymore!"
Lin Haoren laughed out loud, joyfully picking up Oreo and spinning around several times in celebration.
The burden weighing down on his heart was finally lifted.
Of course, Oreo did not share his joy. On the contrary, it was frightened by his wicked laughter and crazy actions.
Ah!
Release me, Human! Are you crazy?! No, wait! Don’t let go! Put me down! Ahh!
Sometime later, Lin Haoren finally calmed down, and Oreo managed to escape his clutches.
However, it also felt as if it had lost half its life.
Now that they had money, shopping was a must! At the very least, a new phone and pc couldn’t be neglected!
Both were important!
Lin Haoren might not have high hopes of joining the A Thousand Lifetimes With You production, but that did not mean he wasn’t interested in getting involved.
Such a popular drama production did not lack competition for roles. Even the extra roles were highly competitive. He had fully accepted that it was too late to join.
However, the drama adaptation had been avoided for 10 years!
Even if a suitable script was finally written, how good could it be? Who could say the production wouldn’t run into problems?
Perhaps it was better not to get involved.
Should he manage to get involved, it was better to join late than early. He was lacking in too many aspects and needed time to grow.
If he could write good scripts, he would have better chances of securing his own roles. That’s why he decided to focus on leveling his Storywriting Skill.
However, he thought about his ordinary appearance.
Even if he had good acting, how could he dazzle the audience? How can a superstar not be handsome?
Since he had a system, he shouldn’t settle for his ordinary look.
Thinking of this, Lin Haoren opened the DailyMuse app.
