Godslayer: I, the agent of the God of Drama, am here to begin the show.

[This plane triggers a hidden instance; please cooperate actively to complete it.]

[Copy Name: Chinese New Year.]

[Sole mission: Happiness.]

[Task Rewards: Good health, all your wishes fulfilled, unexpected gains, and all your dreams come true.]

In the world of Godslayer, people who were doing their jobs suddenly heard such a voice in their minds.

Whether they were trainees or instructors in training camps, members of night watch teams from various regions, students in class, or working professionals, the same thought appeared in their minds at the same time.

The next moment, a bright light flashed before everyone's eyes, and their consciousness was brought into this instance called "New Year".

........

crackling crackling crackling crackling....

The piercing sound of firecrackers, accompanied by the acrid smell of gunpowder, brought Lin Qiye back to his senses.

There was nothing in front of him, as if he were in the void.

All he could hear were bursts of firecrackers, but he didn't realize it at the moment; he just found it a bit noisy.

Just as he was about to explore, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"What are you doing, Nanaya?"

"Come on, let's go celebrate the New Year. Why is this child acting so silly during the New Year?"

Before Lin Qiye could react, Lin Ze pulled him through the void.

The next second, his surroundings underwent a dramatic change.

This place was no longer an empty void, but a lively and bustling family. He looked around and saw that they were all his relatives and friends, who were making preparations in a lively manner.

"Don't worry about them, we have our own things to do. We'll come back to them later."

Lin Ze spoke softly to Lin Qiye.

For some reason, Lin Qiye is still somewhat dazed.

He didn't know why everyone was there.

But before he could react, another familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"Seven Nights, hurry up and put up the couplets. Do you want your little brother to help you?"

At this moment, Aunt handed Lin Qiye a thick stack of bright red couplets.

Lin Qiye asked, somewhat dazed, "Auntie?"

Although he was somewhat incredulous, he still replied, "No need, Lin Ze and I can go together."

Lin Qiye reached out and took the couplet.

At this moment, Knicks looked curiously at the couplet in Lin Qiye's hand and asked, "Child, what is this?"

"Why do I see so many people putting these up on the street? Are they your kind of talismans?"

As a Western god, Nix naturally doesn't understand the customs here.

But just then, Lin Ze suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "No, Mother, these are not talismans."

"It's a way for us to express our hopes for the new year."

"And you can also put your wishes on it, so maybe they will come true in the new year."

"And I'll let you in on a secret: it does have the power of a talisman, because it can expel a very powerful mystery."

Upon hearing this, the Knicks' eyes filled with anticipation.

"Could you put one on me too?"

"There's no need to exorcise the mystery, and I don't think any mystery will come looking for me anyway. I also have wishes that need to be fulfilled."

Lin Ze smiled and nodded, "Of course, Mother."

"I'll write a special picture for you later. You can go knead the dough with your aunt now, because we're going to eat those things later."

"OK!"

"I'm really looking forward to your talismans, child, no... I should say couplets."

After saying that, Knicks went to his aunt's house like a child who had been dismissed.

Lin Qiye watched his two relatives chatting happily, and he smiled along with them.

A moment later, he saw Nix throw a lump of dough into the air and knead it tens of thousands of times in mid-air using Darkest Erosion.

This action drew a gasp from her aunt, who had never seen dough kneaded like this before, even after so many years.

However, to be fair, the efficiency is indeed quite high.

Just then, Lin Ze suddenly said in his ear, "Don't be delusional, these things are real."

"Enjoy this moment, Nanaya."

Upon hearing Lin Ze's words, Lin Qiye suddenly remembered the voice that had appeared in his mind earlier.

He's currently in a dungeon with everyone, and the only requirement for this dungeon is happiness.

If that's the case, then what are we waiting for?

Let's celebrate the Chinese New Year together!

"Let's go put up the couplets!"

After saying that, the two of them walked out onto the street together.

They came out of a large house where all their relatives and friends had gathered, surrounded by smaller, detached apartments.

Clearly, this is the home of those relatives and friends.

"Seven Nights, did you know? There are actually many rules to follow when pasting couplets."

At this moment, Lin Ze held up a small "福" (Fu, meaning good fortune) character and said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye immediately became interested.

Although he was blind before, he helped his aunt's family put up couplets for a long time.

Of course, I was just helping out.

He had never heard of any rules or customs regarding pasting couplets.

However, he did not doubt Lin Ze, thinking that it was normal for different regions to have some cultural differences.

So he leaned closer and said curiously, "Really? Let me hear it and see if what you're saying makes sense."

Lin Ze said seriously, "That means... you can't stick the couplets on your forehead!"

Before Lin Qiye could react, Lin Ze stuck the palm-sized "Fu" character on Lin Qiye's forehead.

After realizing what was happening, Lin Qiye gave chase until he also stuck a "Fu" character on Lin Ze's forehead before he finally gave up.

This could be considered... a double blessing, right?

The couplets on the wall hadn't been put up yet, but each of them had an extra "福" (fortune) mark on their foreheads.

However, they are very fast when they get serious.

Lin Qiye assisted Lin Ze by tearing off some tape and sticking it onto Lin Ze's bright red clothes. In some places, paste is also used to paste Spring Festival couplets.

With the help of [Balance Gravity], Lin Ze found the couplets on the high places to be no challenge at all.

Furthermore, when combined with their other abilities, their efficiency was exceptionally high.

Before long, they had finished posting all the couplets.

"What are we going to do next?"

"Would you like to join everyone in making dumplings?"

Lin Qiye asked hesitantly. During the previous Chinese New Year, he only had his aunt, younger brother, and a little black dog with him.

But now that he has so many friends, Lin Qiye doesn't know what to do with them.

Fortunately, with Lin Ze around, he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Without saying a word, Lin Ze vanished from the spot in an instant.

He was back in the blink of an eye.

He also brought a table of moderate size, with some red couplets on it, which he used to write his own blessings.

Before Lin Qiye could react, Lin Ze picked up a gold-embossed calligraphy brush and began to write swiftly on the couplet paper, quickly completing two couplets.

Lin Qiye casually picked up a painting: "A mother's kindness is as vast as the sea, her family's reputation is prosperous; a warm room is as sweet as spring, her virtue is admirable."

"That's nice, is this for Mom?"

"And, I have to say, your handwriting is really good!"

"I never knew you could write calligraphy!"

This is why Lin Qiye, who doesn't understand calligraphy, thought Lin Ze's brush calligraphy was quite good.

If you bring in a knowledgeable expert, he might even think it's an authentic work by that master!

Lin Ze smiled and said, "I know a little bit."

After that, Lin Qiye didn't continue the conversation with him on this topic, because he genuinely didn't understand.

Then Lin Qiye picked up the second couplet.

When Lin Ze started writing the Spring Festival couplets, he knew they were for Nix, but he couldn't imagine who the second one was for.

However, when Lin Qiye picked up the second couplet, he froze on the spot.

What kind of nonsense is this?!

"Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof, ...?!"

Lin Ze chuckled, patted Lin Qiye's head, and said, "Good puppy~"

Lin Qiye: "???"

"Get lost! I'm reading Spring Festival couplets aloud, who are you writing these for? For a dog?"

Lin Ze smiled calmly, "That's right, it's just for dogs."

At this moment, Lin Qiye suddenly remembered that there was indeed a dog at home.

The next moment, the two of them arrived at the doghouse of the little black mangy dog.

When Little Black Tortoise saw the two of them, he instinctively protected his stainless steel rice bowl.

As we all know, during the Lunar New Year, family dogs must protect their food bowls to prevent them from being taken advantage of by some people.

"Here, these are the Spring Festival couplets I wrote for you. Take a look and see what you think."

Lin Ze laid out the Spring Festival couplets for Xiao Hei Lai to examine.

After reading it, Little Black Toad nodded in satisfaction.

"Woof woof. (Good.)"

"Then we'll put it on for you."

"Woof woof."

Lin Qiye was somewhat shocked as he watched the conversation between the man and the dog.

He initially thought that Lin Ze had written the Spring Festival couplet completely haphazardly.

But judging from Xiao Hei Lai's appearance, it doesn't seem like he's just making things up!

Moreover, do they have no communication barriers?

"No way, you can even speak dog language!"

"I know a little bit about it."

"......"

After putting up the couplets, Lin Ze said goodbye to Xiao Hei Lai and left.

After walking a distance, Lin Ze took out a stainless steel basin from behind him.

Lin Qiye asked curiously, "What are you going to do with this?"

Lin Ze chuckled awkwardly, "This has many uses. Whatever I do, you'll just follow along."

"OK?"

"OK!"

Before long, the two arrived at the room where everyone was gathered.

By this time, Nyx had already integrated into the family, and she seemed to quite enjoy the festive atmosphere.

Upon seeing Lin Ze and Lin Qiye, Nix smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons.

Before he could even speak, Lin Ze and Lin Qiye slid in to Nyx's side.

He placed the stainless steel basin in front of him and began to kowtow repeatedly.

With the stainless steel basin amplifying the sound of their kowtowing, it immediately drew everyone's attention.

Happy New Year, Mother!

"You should give us a red envelope now!"

Lin Ze spoke up.

Nyx smiled and helped the two up. "I've already found out everything."

"When children visit relatives for the New Year, adults need to prepare red envelopes."

"Come, children, I have prepared everything for you."

As he spoke, Nyx took out two red envelopes and handed them to the two of them.

Furthermore, the cover of the red envelope is consistent with her own style, featuring a flowing starry sky with shooting stars occasionally streaking across it.

The two sighed inwardly.

As expected of a deity, even their red envelopes are different from others.

However, both of them were shocked when they opened the red envelope!

The reason is simple: the contents of these red envelopes are not New Year's money at all, but a wisp of the essence of darkness!

Lin Ze and Lin Qiye reached an astonishing agreement: they couldn't accept this gift!

However, Nyx seemed to have sensed their concerns.

She slowly began to speak, "Child, whether here or where we are, there's no reason to take back a gift once it's given away."

"Your happiness and healthy growth are more important than anything else."

"Take it."

That's what they say, but... they still can't accept it.

But then, Nyx continued, "Don't make me unhappy during the New Year."

Lin Ze and Lin Qiye: "???"

No, they've adapted to local customs so quickly?

This tastes so authentic!

Left with no other choice, the two of them had to accept it.

A smile returned to Nyx's face.

At this moment, Lin Ze and Lin Qiye exchanged a glance, and at the same time, a wicked idea came to mind.

You should know... there were quite a few elders present.

Without saying a word, they immediately changed direction!

Happy Chinese New Year, Auntie!

Bang bang bang!

"Captain Chen, Captain Shao, Happy New Year!"

Bang bang bang!

"Instructor Yuan, and all the other instructors at the training camp, Happy New Year!"

Bang bang bang!

"Commander Ye, Happy New Year to you too!"

Bang bang bang!

After one round, both of their foreheads became somewhat red and swollen.

But I feel that the effort was worthwhile!

The two of them are currently enjoying immense wealth.

Those blessed by the two of them either receive lucky money or forbidden items.

All I can say is that this year's New Year's visit was definitely worth it!

Lin Ze and Lin Qiye also experienced the thrill of "making quick money" for the first time.

Damn, this is much faster than becoming stronger through self-cultivation!

Lin Ze tentatively asked, "Qi Ye, how about... we wish everyone a Happy New Year again?"

"Who says you can only pray once?"

"Is that right?"

Lin Qiye understood immediately, "That's right!"

However, their words were overheard by others, who exclaimed in panic, "No, please don't!"

"If all else fails, we elders will have to pay our respects to you children!"

"You two are richer than us now."

Thinking about this, Lin Ze hesitated.

That's true; you can't just keep targeting one sheep when you're trying to fleece them.

Just then, Fatty suddenly appeared, 'glittering' with gold jewelry on him.

He has the typical image of a nouveau riche.

Fatty slowly spoke, "Brother Ze, Qi Ye."

"Why don't you kowtow to me and wish me a Happy New Year?"

"I'll give you lucky money!"

Lin Ze and Lin Qiye: "???"

Fatty: Danger!

.........

(Wishing everyone a Happy New Year, may all your wishes come true, and may your learning ability be like Lin Ze's, knowing a little about everything!)

And I want to apologize to everyone again. I was supposed to update at midnight today, but last night, some guy broke the power line here, and we lost power at home. My phone also died, and I had to visit relatives and friends during the day, so it was delayed until now. I apologize to everyone again.

As you can all see, my New Year's chapter isn't over yet; many characters haven't appeared. I'd like to gather your opinions again: do you want to see more? If you do, I'll continue updating!
