……

At 1 a.m., Chen Ci, who had secretly returned home, lay on the bed with his legs crossed, his left hand under the pillow, and his right hand holding an exquisite pinky ring between his thumb and forefinger, carefully examining it under the light of the ceiling.

"No wonder it only increases charm, so this is what's working."

"An S-rank item, you just gave it to me like that?"

According to Jiang Wanxin, the quality of items in this game, along with the difficulty of dungeons and the completion rating, are divided into five tiers, with D being the lowest and S the highest. Previously, when Jiang Wanxin gave him a D-grade muscle needle, it already caused a lot of envy and jealousy among the men; if they knew he also had an S-grade, it's unimaginable what would happen.

This ring doesn't seem to be a regular S.

"Destiny..."

Reflecting on past events seems to be a hidden advancement based on one's destiny?

He remembered that there was a destiny called "Qi Refiner" in the form. Jiang Wanxin said that the aloof girl was the inheritor of destiny, and her destiny was "Immortal". Could this "Immortal" be the hidden advancement of Qi Refiner?

It seems pretty impressive.

So here's the question.

An S-rank item containing a divine mandate is undoubtedly priceless. How much must the other person like him to be willing to give him such a treasure as a gift to express their feelings?

Or perhaps the other person was just an ordinary person who didn't know the ring was a game item and simply thought it was pretty, attractive, and reasonably priced, so they bought it and gave it to him?

Chen Ci's social circle was very clean. Apart from a few roommates, he had basically no other friends, and he had even less interaction with girls. Most of his interactions were at the level of nodding acquaintances, which made it hard for him to think of who the "suspect" was for the time being.

"I'll go back to school tomorrow and ask the dorm supervisor."

As Chen Ci pondered this, he opened his personal panel.

[Name: Chen Ci (can be changed)]

Current Gender: Male

[Sequence: CCA10-069]

[Attributes: 4 (Constitution), 4 (Strength), 8 (Spirit), 5 (Dexterity), 23 (Charisma)]

【Characteristics: Ningcai Chen】

[Skill: Bewitching Beauty]

[Destiny: None]

[Assignable attribute points: 3]

Available points: 100

[Remaining game attempts this month: 1 (You can choose to enter on any tenth of the month; if you do not choose, you will be forced to enter on the last tenth of the month)]

The "Ning Cai Chen" trait has been added to the trait section, indicating that traits are equivalent to affixes and are obtained through in-game achievements.

There are two more buttons below: [Backpack] and [Shop].

The former is similar to a storage space, 5*6, with a total of 30 compartments. Inside, there is a ring-shaped piece of cinnabar red jade and a needle given by Jiang Wanxin. Chen Ci also threw the "Aphrodite Ring" in, and casually picked up a pillow, tissues, nutritional drinks and other things from the bed and stuffed them in.

But it didn't fit.

"It seems this backpack can only store game items."

The "Chen Ci" item cannot be opened; it can only be unlocked after obtaining "Destiny Path".

In that case, fate is quite crucial. Chen Ci stared at his Strength and Constitution both at level 4 for a while, pondering whether he should throw the ring aside and add some Constitution or Strength to balance things out?

"never mind."

Balance the damn.

His Charm attribute is already 23.2, and with the "Ring of Aphrodite," adding another 3 points will bring it to 26.8. He just needs to get an S rank in the next dungeon to unlock Destiny. Not only will he gain an extra class skill, but he'll also strengthen "Bewitching Beauty"—isn't that better than having both Strength and Constitution at 5.5?

Fighting doesn't necessarily require you to do it yourself. After experiencing the Ghost Bride firsthand, Chen Ci understood one thing—as long as your charm is high enough, even an enemy can become a lover. At that time, he would be an army all by himself. Why would he be afraid of not being able to defeat her?

"First, secure my destiny, then advance my rank, and at the same time collect the artifacts inherited by the Goddess of Beauty..." With a clear mind, Chen Ci quickly devised a plan to fulfill his dream, and his fan-shaped world was just around the corner!

"Oh right, I need to go see the dorm supervisor tomorrow and ask her what the person who gave me the gift looks like."

He needed to reread that love letter he'd thrown into the drawer to see if he could find any clues... As Chen Ci thought about it, he yawned. The fatigue from not sleeping for 40 consecutive hours suddenly overwhelmed him, and he didn't even know how he fell asleep.

It continued until the next day.

In his sleep, Chen Ci vaguely felt a sense of suffocation, a tightness in his chest, as if a large rock was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe. He frowned and groggily opened his eyes.

Then he saw two beautiful, lively, big, round deer eyes blink, and a delicate, fair face with rosy cheeks was very close to his, almost touching his face.

Chen Ci: "???"

"Holy shit!"

He was startled awake, instantly snapping out of his drowsiness, and a phrase from a national treasure slipped out of his mouth.

The girl before him had shoulder-length short hair, wore a youthful short-sleeved shirt and hot pants, and her long, fair legs were bent at a sharp angle as she knelt on his waist. Hearing his words, the girl blushed and shyly pointed her finger: "Brother, we're siblings, we can't do that..."

You can't do that, yet you're riding on top of me?

Chen Ci pulled the blanket up to cover her delicate body, angrily yelling, "Chen Qingya, are you out of your mind?!"

Chen Qingya – Chen Ci's younger sister, 17 years old, a high school girl. She and Chen Ci don't look alike at all. If there's anything they have in common, it's that they are both very good-looking, with a face just as striking as Chen Ci's.

Chen Ci never denied that his younger sister was cute and adorable, a top-tier sweet girl according to popular aesthetics. But no matter how sweet she was, in Chen Ci's eyes, this way of making an entrance was no different from a female ghost.

People can really scare each other to death. If it were a complete stranger, he would have slapped her long ago. The fact that he didn't completely explode in his morning grumpiness was just out of respect for their blood relation.

Chen Qingya was on the verge of tears after being scolded. She pouted her little mouth, looking aggrieved, and said in a soft voice, "Why are you being so fierce? I didn't do anything to you. I was just here to wake you up on Mother's orders."

"Then you don't need to climb into my bed, do you?" Chen Ci said angrily, not buying Chen Qingya's act.

The Chen family doesn't believe in tears, not to mention that Chen Qingya has been a drama queen since she was a child. Her specialty is playing the role of a green tea b*tch. Chen Ci almost fell in love several times during high school, but Chen Qingya ruined it by pretending to be his girlfriend. This made Chen Ci so angry that he wanted to hit someone... Wait a minute.

Chen Ci suddenly realized something was wrong: "What did you just say? Who told you to call me 'bed'?"

"Mom," Chen Qingya said, "who else could it be?"

"Mom's back??" Chen Ci then noticed that Jiang Wanxin had sent him a text message after he fell asleep in the early morning, saying that the timeline had temporarily returned to normal.

He suddenly flipped the girl off him.

"Get out of the way!"

"Ouch..." The girl immediately rolled off the bed like a cat, fell to the floor, and cried out in pain, "Brother, you're so rude!"

"Heh." Chen Ci ignored her completely and threw the blanket over her. Before Chen Qingya could get up, she was covered by the blanket, her vision completely darkened, forming a small, protruding cloth bag.

"Brother, what are you doing!" Chen Qingya suddenly became very busy, flailing her arms and legs while frantically sucking on the bed sheet... Ah, it's my brother's scent, it smells so good~

When she finally pulled back the covers, Chen Ci had already changed his clothes and rushed into the kitchen.

Chen's mother noticed him coming over, glanced at him, and continued frying eggs, saying with disdain, "Look at the messy hair you have, it looks like a bird's nest. Go and tidy it up, we're going to eat."

Watching his mother's busy figure, both strange and familiar, Chen Ci felt a sudden lump in his throat and said emotionally, "Mom... I finally have a mother!"

Chen's mother: "?"

"What's wrong with you so early in the morning?"

"Mom, give me a hug!"

Go hug your sister.

Chen's mother laughed and scolded, saying that she was cooking and didn't have time to play around with her son, as she had to take Chen Qingya to school later.

"Does my dad know you're back?" Chen Ci vaguely remembered that Old Chen always talked about finding him and Chen Qingya a beautiful stepmother. Before today, Old Chen's memories should have been devoid of a mother. Now that the timeline has been restored, will Old Chen remember her?

Chen's mother looked both amused and annoyed: "You brat, are you still half asleep? What nonsense are you spouting? Where did you get a father from?"

Chen Ci: "?"
