After churning out 6,000 words, Lin Haoren uploaded the extra Chapters before finally calling it a day.
"I should get a new sofa."
The sofa couldn’t compare to the comfort of his bed, but he had no trouble falling into deep sleep thanks to advanced-level Body Management.
Around 1 am, Bai Yiyi groggily woke up to use the bathroom.
However, her expression quickly stiffened upon seeing the unfamiliar environment. The next moment, she panicked, quickly checking her clothes and around her.
She only managed to calm down for a moment before she was internally screaming, "OMG, I actually slept over at Brother Lin’s place!"
That was too reckless!
Bai Yiyi’s heart raced, her face flushing with shame and embarrassment.
Fortunately, she was not alone. Bai Yiyi felt some relief, seeing Su Xiaoran sleeping beside her.
Wait, what about Brother Lin?
Bai Yiyi quietly got up and noticed a bottle of water on the bedside table beside her. Even a pair of slippers had been prepared.
She couldn’t help but feel warm in her heart. Brother Lin was quite thoughtful.
Bai Yiyi put on the provided slippers and went to find the bathroom. She spotted Lin Haoren sleeping on the sofa and felt a bit guilty.
A few minutes later, Bai Yiyi returned to the bedroom, drank some water, and hopped back into bed with a slight blush.
Brother Lin’s bed was oddly cozy.
Since it was already so late, she might as well enjoy the sleepover to the fullest. She wouldn’t have such chances in the future if she wanted to develop her career.
The paparazzi wouldn’t leave her alone.
Shortly after Bai Yiyi went back to sleep, Su Xiaoran’s eyes snapped open, her mind and heart undergoing the same turmoil.
How did she end up sleeping over at a man’s home?
This was... too bold!
Su Xiaoran blushed, burying her face under the blanket, and its subtle yet pleasant scent drifted into her nose.
She couldn’t help but sniff it—only to freeze in the next moment.
What did she just do?
’Ah, Ran Ran, you pervert!’ Su Xiaoran condemned herself, screaming internally. She ended up exhausting herself and fell asleep.
The rest of the night passed uneventfully.
The following morning, Lin Haoren systematically woke up at 6 am.
He checked on the two ladies before washing up, changing into winter sportswear, and taking Oreo out to practice Tai Chi in the early morning.

[Physique +1, Dexterity +1, Spirit +1, Perception +1, Appearance +5]
While practicing Tai Chi, Lin Haoren unconsciously entered a marvelous mental state of cultivation, and his body underwent partial physical optimization after a sudden breakthrough.
A mysterious vital energy seemed to have coursed through his body.
The moment his mind snapped back to reality, he was shocked by his bodily changes.
Lin Haoren didn’t expect to reach advanced-level mastery so soon. He seemed to have made an extraordinary discovery.
Enlightenment could provide significant boosts to proficiency points, greatly accelerating skill mastery.
His talent for martial arts also seemed to be quite high.
More importantly, the world was not as simple as he had imagined. He vaguely sensed the existence and power of ’rules.’
Lin Haoren was shaken.
He knew the system’s existence itself was extraordinary, but he had never imagined that he might transcend human limits one day.
Possessing eternal life and wielding extraordinary power could be possible.

[Congratulations, Host! You have gained 10 or more attributes. The Attribute Panel is now unlocked and can be accessed anytime.]
Lin Haoren’s eyes flickered, feeling pleasantly surprised.
Finally!
==============
[Lin Haoren]
Physique: 11 (+4)
Dexterity: 16 (+1)
Intelligence: 11 (+3)
Spirit: 10 (+2)
Perception: 12 (+1)
Appearance: 65 (+5)
Charm: 50
Charisma: 58
Luck: Unknown
==============
’So these are my stats...’ Lin Haoren studied his attribute panel thoughtfully.
Unexpectedly, his intelligence and spirit attributes were so low, while his dexterity attribute was so skewed.
However, these attribute points also aligned with his life.
Lin Haoren noticed his physique, dexterity, intelligence, spirit, and perception scaled differently to appearance, charm, and charisma.
For example, the value of 10 represents humanity’s average.
In other words, having less than a 10-point value represented below average, and having more than a 10-point value represented above average.
Meanwhile, a 15-point value would put one in the top 1% of humanity.
According to this pattern, a 20-point value in any of these five principal attributes would already represent superhuman levels.
As for appearance, charm, and charisma...
Lin Haoren furrowed his brows in contemplation, unsure what their values represented.
=========================
[Appearance: Facial attractiveness, proportions, photogenic quality. Value: 65 (Slightly above average, not ugly, but not handsome either)]
[Charm: Temperament, sexual tension, aura. Value: 50 (Pleasant to talk to. People will remember your name. Makes people feel respected)]
[Charisma: Presence, likability, influence. Value: 59 (Subtle attraction. People will remember you. Easy to build likability. Your words hold some sway)]
=========================
After focusing intently, Lin Haoren pleasantly discovered the system could provide information on each attribute.
’That simplifies things,’ Lin Haoren sighed with relief.
Suddenly, he spotted a familiar group of elders gathering to practice Tai Chi. At the same time, they also noticed him.
"Xiao Lin, did you come out to practice Taijiquan today?" Grandpa Guo asked.
"Yes, Grandpa Guo." Lin Haoren admitted, "But I’m already done with my practice and just about to head back to make breakfast."
"Not bad, not bad. Good kid," Grandpa Guo praised as he studied Lin Haoren’s physique. "It seems you have been very diligent with your practice. You’ve improved quickly."
Lin Haoren smiled.
After some small chat, he managed to leave and return to his apartment.
7:05 am
Lin Haoren checked the time and noticed Bai Yiyi and Su Xiaoran were still not up yet.
"These two... Aren’t they sleeping a little too well?"
Lin Haoren wondered whether he should stop cleaning his home.
If his Housekeeping Skill kept leveling up, wouldn’t his guests find all kinds of excuses to stay over all the time?
