The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Chapter 216 Daily Tasks: A Major Leap Forward

There's been no reply for a long time; it seems they've gone to find someone to test it.

Lin Xi stretched and glanced at the time. She had been in the time retarder for more than ten hours, and it was almost midnight, but she was very excited and not sleepy at all.

Not only was I happy about my hacking skills improving, but I also just received a lot of Love Coins.

The original 450,000 Love Coins surged by another 50,000, reaching 500,000.

If you have enough ability, helping others is just a matter of lifting a finger; an unintentional act can help countless people.

It seems I still need to continuously improve my abilities.

Now that I possess human-level memory, comprehension, and logic, and have plenty of Love Coins, it's time to upgrade my brain again.

Looking at the intelligence section of the system interface, she bought a Concentration Pill to improve focus and a Illusion Pill to enhance imagination.

The total cost was 400,000 Love Coins.

It hurts a little, but she's confident she'll earn it back soon.

"Xiao Yi, can I eat both of them together?"

"Yes, host, the flavor will be even richer."

As long as I don't explode and die, that's fine.

It has a sweet fruity aroma and a rich milky flavor, and the taste is indeed very rich.

A cool sensation came over my brain, instantly activating my focus and imagination.

Her mind seemed to have become an impregnable fortress; as long as she wanted to focus on one thing, no distracting thoughts could invade.

It was as if she had transformed into a vast, boundless grassland, where her thoughts raced and leaped freely. Whenever she wanted, her inspiration would flow endlessly, as if by magic.

The whole world has been given a completely new look, more colorful and vibrant. A pen, a table, a trash can—anything can become her source of creative inspiration.

She recalled the floods she had recently experienced, and many novel ideas immediately came to mind.

She opened a Word document and started typing rapidly.

She was going to write a full-length post-apocalyptic novel, her first time writing a full-length novel and her first time working on this subject.

But there was no awkwardness at all; the whole process was smooth and seamless, and I quickly finished writing an outline.

Besides floods, people will experience terrible earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, droughts, and plagues in the future...

She wants to write these down, interspersing them with some self-rescue knowledge.

Just like this flood, no matter how hard she tries, she can't guarantee everyone's safety.

If everyone can learn some self-rescue techniques, their chances of survival will be greater.

Perhaps she was too focused, because after it was over, she realized that she still had a large sum of money to collect.

I opened the website, and they had already given me a reply.

"Thank you so much, X, for helping us solve a huge problem! Your abilities are simply beyond our expectations!"

"I wonder if $20 is satisfactory?"

Wow, I'm very satisfied! Of course I'm satisfied! I earned over a million in two hours, what more could I ask for?

Lin Xi sent the account number over.

One minute later, "Payment received, X. Looking forward to our next collaboration."

"If it's convenient, could you please provide your personal contact information?"

They're not trying to poach me, are they?! No way!

"It's inconvenient. If you need anything, just contact me here!"

It's already very late. If I don't go to sleep now, I won't be able to get up tomorrow.

Lin Xi cleaned up the mess, making sure that the huge sum of money she received was from a legitimate source and that there were no problems, then lay down on the ground and fell asleep in the time capsule.

Three hours later, sunlight filled the room, and Lin Xi had slept for six hours in the time capsule.

Her eyes were glazed over, filled with disbelief.

"Xiao Yi, why is the system task suddenly so drastic?"

Ever since she took the Mind-Concentrating Pill and the Illusionary Color Pill yesterday, she had a premonition that the daily tasks would change.

But this change was truly unexpected.

Can you learn all the subjects from the first semester of the second year of high school in one day?

So! From now on! She'll have to read nine textbooks a day?!

In other words, she is about to complete all high school courses in four days?

"Xiao Yi, is there something I need to do urgently? Are you planning to let me graduate early?"

"Host, with your current intelligence, you would need to read nine books a day to completely fill your daytime hours."

That's right, it's that simple, we just don't want you to be idle!

Lin Xi chuckled. Well, she had no time during the day, so at night she had to learn hacking, boxing, write novels, and complete the tasks assigned by her master.

Perhaps I angered my master last time, because the tasks he assigned have doubled.

The main idea is to study until you drop, or you'll die trying.

"Dear host, breakfast is ready!"

Xiao Ai's voice came from outside the door. After opening the door, the scooter automatically glided downstairs.

Lin Guiying has truly explored the full potential of Xiao Ai.

There was an extra person at the table today, Liu Erli. Thanks to his help these past few days, Lin Dayuan was able to avoid having to close down his shop.

Now that Lin Dayuan has returned, he will also be going back to Linjia Village.

Liu Erli was reluctant to leave his good friend after just seeing him, but there was nothing he could do; they needed him there too.

Lin Dayuan was even more reluctant to let Erli go; now that Erli was gone, he would have to cook noodles for himself again.

Lin Xi understood her father's meaning, and her eyes darted around as she asked, "Uncle Liu, what's the arrangement for our family shop while you're not here?"

Liu Erli was in a hurry to get back to business and was wolfing down his breakfast. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he said, "Xu Erhu has a talent for cooking and is now in charge of cooking noodles. Tian Lei is quick-witted and fast at accounting, so he is now in charge of cashiering. The rest of us do some odd jobs. Although it is tiring, it is not too chaotic."

"Uncle Liu, do you want to stay in the city? It just so happens that Brother Liu Yu is currently in high school in the city, so it will be convenient for you to meet. We can just hire another person for the family shop."

Lin Dayuan's eyes lit up. "I think it's a good idea."

Liu Erli hesitated, "But what about the family shop? It's not that I don't trust them, it's just that Erhu has only been cooking noodles for a short time, and I'm worried about it."

Or... I could go back and supervise them for a while longer, so they can mentally prepare themselves.

“Okay, Uncle Liu, we’ll do it your way. It just so happens that we need to recruit people for a while anyway.”

After Liu Erli left, Lin Dayuan went to work as a noodle cook with a miserable attitude, Lin Xi slid Xiao Ai to school, Lin Guiying secretly practiced dancing by turning on the stereo, and Lin Guojun drove his tricycle to collect scrap.

In just half a month, his business has covered five nearby residential areas. He doesn't know who exposed his phone number, but people call him every day asking if he can come to collect recyclables.

So now Lin Guojun doesn't have time to pick up trash; he's on the road collecting scraps every day.

Everyone in the Lin family was busy with their own affairs.

Meanwhile, the office building of the Youth Novel Illustration Studio, located thousands of miles away, was in complete chaos.

"Wow, is this a surprise from President Li? Our website has changed dramatically overnight!"

"Yeah, is this still our website?"

"Those computer gurus are really something. When did they come up with this idea? No wonder they all have such dark circles under their eyes. They've been busy upgrading the system every day."

The men in checkered shirts from the Ministry of Science and Technology looked completely bewildered. What was going on? Who upgraded them?

They don't have that ability!

Could it be that Mr. Li has found another team?

Finished!

Are they going to lose their jobs?

Li Kefan and Ju Zi sat together, staring intently at the computer screen.

"Bro, tell me, who exactly upgraded our site? They didn't leave a single clue. Was it some hacker who's a fan of ours and thought our website was terrible, so they specially helped us optimize it?"

Li Kefan is very proficient in coding and has been studying it in his spare time. He sees things much more clearly than Li Xinxin. "This is not optimization, it's a complete overhaul, and it was done in just one night. To be able to do this, it must be world-class."

Li Xinxin covered her mouth tightly, "That's amazing? Then why is he doing this? He didn't even leave his name, he's not after money or fame..."

Li Kefan looked at him with a complicated expression. "So, I think you were right at the beginning. Maybe he is our fan..."
