Traveling through the second dimension, the joy system encourages me to laugh heartily!

Chen Ming happily summoned the Pleasure System's shop interface, and without hesitation, spent 40 points of Pleasure Power to exchange for 4 [Longevity Potions] that flowed with a dreamlike seven-colored halo.

Watching his balance drop from 190 million points to 150 million points, he felt little heartache. After all, in the long run, this investment was a sure-fire way to make a profit!

Then, he solemnly presented these four precious [Longevity Potions] to the four maids, Susie, Sophie, Lilia, and Arlene. In fact, the Pleasure Divine Power that Chen Ming consumed to exchange for the [Longevity Potions] generally came from the corresponding girl's own past.

Shortly after taking in these four maids, he left World 1 for a while and did not exchange them for the [Longevity Potion].

Having returned to World 1 and settled there for a full year, he had obtained enough Pleasure God Power from these four girls to exchange for potions. Naturally, he had to resolve their concerns about lifespan as soon as possible; it was his responsibility!

The four maids had already learned about the specific effects of the [Longevity Potion] from their seniors, so they drank it without hesitation.

The Longevity Potion truly lives up to its reputation as an item imbued with the power of the system. After drinking it, it exhibits powerful and miraculous effects—not only does it grant the drinker near-eternal life, but it also allows their physical condition to be perfectly maintained at the peak of youth at 18! This means that for Susie, Sophie, and others who are already over 19 years old, taking the potion will initiate a wondrous process of "reverse aging."

The most obvious short-term effect is a significant increase in metabolic rate. They can eat more and seem to eat as much as they want without gaining weight. Their flexibility and coordination also reach their peak.

When they are "recharging," they can last longer and their physical strength recovers at an astonishing speed.

The only, temporary side effect was that within a few days of taking the medication, their bodies seemed to undergo a profound renewal process, with large amounts of old, flaky skin sloughing off every time they showered.

Conversely, all positive changes are also extremely significant.

The various small scars they had from childhood due to their mischief and bumps gradually faded and eventually disappeared completely, restoring their skin to a flawless, "brand new" state.

The changes in her face were particularly striking. Her skin became snow-white with a healthy rosy glow, as delicate and smooth as the finest porcelain, seemingly fragile enough to break at a touch. Upon closer inspection, one could almost faintly see the fine network of capillaries beneath her skin, presenting an ultimate sense of vitality.

Besides the lips appearing to have a healthier rosy color, the pigmentation on other parts of the body has lightened. Areas that were originally cherry red have faded to a more delicate peach pink; while areas that were originally peach pink have further lightened to an alluring pale pink.

The all-encompassing transformation they underwent deeply captivated Chen Ming's attention, leaving him dazzled and unable to put them down.

He diligently conducted thorough physical examinations on them, personally verifying every aspect of the medicine's effectiveness.

In addition, he would occasionally give them a "boost injection" using the gene injections he produced daily, both internally (directly to the stomach) and externally (like a sudden awakening), in order to achieve a more perfect effect.

Of course, Chen Ming wasn't the only one who grew rapidly in the past year.

The three female protagonists from the original novel also grew stronger with the passage of time.

The once innocent and lively Taldor and Maho have now grown into graceful young women, entering the blossoming age of 13.

They quietly shed some of their childish innocence and naivety, their eyes gaining a unique girlish liveliness, clarity, and curiosity about the world. Their slender figures, like willow branches sprouting in spring, gradually unfold, beginning to reveal the graceful curves of young girls.

Tia, who was slightly older, turned sixteen, a beautiful young woman.

In this world, a sixteen-year-old girl is already considered a true adult. She is like a carefully nurtured flower bud, slowly blooming after years of accumulation, gathering breathtakingly beautiful radiance.

Chen Ming had never forgotten that he had promised Tia that on the day she officially came of age, he would take her on a date that was just for the two of them.

Tia counted the days on her fingers, and finally the day she had been waiting for arrived!

She jumped out of bed excitedly early in the morning, carefully washed and dressed herself, put on her prettiest little dress, and ran to the door of Chen Ming's master bedroom with joy and anticipation.

However, before she even stepped inside, she heard that familiar, rhythmic "charging" sound coming from within...

The girl's heart sank instantly, her joy replaced by grievance and disappointment.

She thought Chen Ming was so engrossed in his love affair that he had forgotten their important promise.

Suddenly feeling downcast, she slumped downstairs with her head drooping and sat alone on the soft sofa in the living room. Even her favorite delicious breakfast seemed tasteless and she had no appetite.

Actually, she completely misunderstood. This was just Chen Minglei's unwavering daily "morning exercise," not a forgetting of their agreement.

After finishing his morning exercise and feeling refreshed, Chen Ming took a shower, changed into a casual and handsome outfit, and went downstairs. He immediately saw the petite figure on the sofa, exuding a strong sense of loss.

He immediately realized his mistake, inwardly cursing his oversight. He quickly stepped forward, gently patted Tia's head, and explained apologetically:

"Sorry, Tia, I didn't forget our date. I just woke up a little late and did some morning homework... Look, I'm all ready now, let's go!"

When Tia heard that he still clearly remembered the agreement, most of the grievances in her heart instantly dissipated, and her mood immediately brightened.

However, the girl's reserve made her deliberately turn her head away, adopting an arrogant expression, and snorted:

"Hmph, I already thought of that. I know you're a busy person, which is why I didn't complain to you directly. But, understanding is one thing, but emotions are another! At least... at least allow me to throw a little tantrum for a while!"

Seeing the girl's adorable expression—pretending to be angry even though she had clearly cheered up—Chen Ming couldn't help but laugh and promised:

"Okay, okay, it was my fault. To make up for the time I missed this morning, we'll make up for it as long as I missed it when we get back tonight! Tell me, my little princess, which city do you want to visit today? I'll take you no matter where it is."

For Chen Ming, who possesses the ability to teleport, distance has long lost its meaning. He can take Tia to any bustling city or scenic spot in this world in an instant, as long as she likes it.

"Murdor, a commercial city!"

Tia answered almost without hesitation, her eyes sparkling, "We've lived here for so long, and I haven't really had a chance to explore properly yet! I'm so excited!"

The minor unpleasantness from just now seemed to have never happened. Tia's face instantly brightened, filled with anticipation for the upcoming date.

After appeasing Tia, Chen Ming patiently accompanied her to enjoy a breakfast that, although cold, was still delicious.

After that, the two of them got into a luxurious carriage together.

Chen Ming could have easily teleported Tia to Murdor City, but Tia insisted on taking a carriage—for a girl immersed in the atmosphere of a date, the romantic journey was far more important than the outcome. Every moment spent alone with Chen Ming began the sweet date the moment they stepped into the carriage! And the scenery along the way was itself part of the date experience…

As the carriage swayed and rattled towards the commercial city of Murdoch, the wheels made a rhythmic sound as they rolled over the road.

Perhaps because she was too excited yesterday, Tia stayed up very late and then woke up too early this morning, so she felt a wave of drowsiness creeping over her.

The girl couldn't help but rub her eyes, resting her head on Chen Ming's shoulder, revealing obvious drowsiness.

Seeing this, Chen Ming said in a concerned voice, "Are you sleepy? Don't force yourself, go to sleep if you should. We still have a long way to go to Murdor, I'll wake you up when we get there."

"Mmm..." Tia mumbled sleepily, then whined in a spoiled tone, "Then I'll have to leave it to Uncle~"

After saying that, she turned to the side without any hesitation, using Chen Ming's strong thighs as the most comfortable and warm pillow, adjusted herself into a comfortable position, closed her eyes peacefully, and her breathing quickly became even and long.

However, Chen Ming felt that he had gotten the better deal, because as soon as he looked down, he could see Tia's cute, unguarded sleeping face right up close.

Long eyelashes cast soft shadows under her eyelids like butterfly wings, her rosy cheeks glowed with a healthy blush from deep sleep, her delicate nostrils twitched gently with her breath, and a sweet smile seemed to linger at the corners of her mouth…

Seeing how much the girl trusted and relied on him, Chen Ming took a deep breath and suppressed the burning desire in his heart—no rush, the first recharge must give the girl the most perfect experience, let's go on a date first!

Chapter 249: A Lamb Enters the Tiger's Mouth

The carriage moved slowly forward, its wheels making a regular, soft clattering sound. A warm and peaceful atmosphere filled the carriage, with only the sound of each other's breathing mingling.

Tia slept soundly with her head on Chen Ming's lap until the carriage came to a smooth stop at the entrance of the commercial city of Murdoch. Only then did Chen Ming gently pat the girl's shoulder and softly wake her.

"Little lazy cat, we've arrived."

After a short rest along the way, Tia had regained her energy. She rubbed her eyes, yawned slightly, and showed no signs of fatigue on her face. Instead, her face shone brightly with anticipation. The youthful body has a vigorous metabolism, and its recovery ability is truly remarkable.

As soon as the two entered this city, famous for its thriving commerce, they were greeted by the unique aroma of various goods mixed together.

Shops lined both sides of the street, their signs dazzling the eye. Pedestrians thronged the streets, and shouts and bargaining in various accents filled the air.

After walking a few steps, the sharp-eyed Tia was immediately drawn to a pastry shop on the street corner, which was exquisitely decorated and exuded a rich, sweet aroma. The various cakes and pastries displayed in the window were as tempting as works of art.

Seeing the light in her eyes, Chen Ming smiled knowingly, took her hand, and led her towards the shop.

"Come on, let's see what you like."

Soon, Tia chose a cream cake decorated with fresh berries and drizzled with glossy, tempting syrup.

Chen Ming paid for it without hesitation and handed it to the girl.

Tia took the cake and eagerly scooped out a corner with a delicate little silver spoon and put it in her mouth.

"Hmm~"

The girl squinted her eyes contentedly, savoring the taste. "Although it's not as good as the ones at home... the feeling of this whipped cream melting on my tongue is just so wonderful! It's both light and rich, with a strong milky aroma."

As she made her comments, she unconsciously stuck out her small, pink tongue and gently licked away a bit of white cream that had gotten on her lips. Her action was innocent yet carried a hint of unwitting allure.

Just as Tia sensed, the cake-making techniques in this world were indeed far inferior to those in the main world.

But this world has unique advantages—almost all ingredients are nourished by the magic of the environment to some extent, and their quality, especially the freshness and rich flavor of the raw materials, is in no way inferior to the top ingredients of the main world, and may even be superior in some aspects.

More importantly, the cake Chen Ming bought for her was the most expensive one in the shop. The fresh cream used must have been made from top-quality milk and carefully refined, so it was naturally exceptional and its amazing taste was not surprising.

"You like this texture of whipped cream?"

Seeing her enjoying it, Chen Ming smiled and promised, "It's very simple, I can make it for you anytime!"

In any case, as long as an object is real, he can directly materialize it, so it won't bother him.

"Yes, thank you, Uncle!"

Tia nodded happily, but then seemed to remember something, her tone becoming slightly embarrassed, "By the way, Uncle...we've had so much fun out here, shouldn't we...buy some gifts to take home for Taldo and Maho? Otherwise, it'll feel really guilty if I'm the only one enjoying them..."

She looked up at Chen Ming with sincere eyes, and even suggested, "Next time you should remember to bring Taldo and Maho out on a date too! They're almost adults now, and they're probably secretly looking forward to it too."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, I've already prepared the gifts in advance; they're all little trinkets they'll like. So you don't need to worry about that..."

He paused, his tone slightly teasing, "However, this is the first time I've heard a girl proactively remind me to take other girls on dates. Tia, your idea... feels a bit like science fiction."

Such a futuristic couple is probably something that boys in the main world wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Tia's face flushed slightly, and she explained softly:

“Normally I wouldn’t say that… But you’re my uncle, after all. Besides, I’m the one who joined later; Taldo and Maho have been by your side since they were little… It would be too much if I kept you all to myself… Otherwise…”

At this point, the girl's voice lowered, carrying a hint of coquettish honesty, "I think I'll probably really be incredibly jealous!"

Chen Ming's heart stirred, and he reached out to gently ruffle her hair, his eyes tender: "I see... I truly felt your kindness and thoughtfulness."

He squeezed the girl's small hand. "Then, let's continue shopping. Our date has only just begun!"

"Well! Let's go!"

Tia nodded vigorously, finished the last bite of cake, and then tightly grasped Chen Ming's hand, her smile returning to its bright and carefree state.

The two held hands and blended into the bustling crowd in Murdoch.

It wasn't just Tia who was looking forward to today's date; Chen Ming felt the warmth from her palm and was equally relaxed and happy.

……

Time flew by as we strolled around, sampled snacks, and shopped, and before we knew it, it was already evening.

The two walked out of the grand theater in the commercial city of Murdoch, Tia's face still showing lingering excitement.

The girl looked up at Chen Ming's face, eagerly recounting her experience of watching the magic show:

"Wow, that's amazing! Even though the performers didn't use any magic at all, they put on some tricks that are even more incredible than magic!"

I saw someone being cut in half by a huge saw, and they were still alive and waving!

Some people even vanished from one side of the stage in a flash and reappeared on the other side!

Halfway through, I became so skeptical that I secretly tried to sense the magic, and it turned out I really didn't need to use any magic at all!

"Isn't it interesting?"

Chen Ming looked at her excitedly gesturing and asked her a question with a smile.

"This is so interesting! Uncle, you're so amazing, do you know how they changed?"

Tia grabbed his arm and pressed him for an answer.

"Yes, I happen to know the tricks behind these classic magic tricks today."

Chen Ming nodded, admitting it with a hint of teasing.

"Really?! If that's the case, tell me about it! I'm really curious!"

Tia's curiosity was completely piqued, and she shook his arm, urging him on.

"Good good."

Enjoying the girl's adoration and coquettishness, Chen Ming began to explain in detail: "First of all, that seemingly ordinary bed used for dissecting the human body actually has a hidden secret. Did you notice that around the four legs of that bed, there are thick curtains hanging down to the ground, creating visual blind spots, right?"

Tia tried hard to recall, then nodded vigorously.

"The essence is right there."

Chen Ming explained carefully: "Actually, the person lying on the bed is not a person at all, but two assistants with similar builds and excellent flexibility."

When the 'victims' lay down and the curtain was drawn, they would bend their bodies backward in an extreme way, with the person responsible for presenting the upper body hiding the lower body in a hidden compartment under the bed, while the person responsible for presenting the lower body would hide the upper body inside.

In this way, the enormous, terrifying-looking blade sliced ​​through the gap between the two bodies, so in reality, no one's body was actually cut open.

"what!!!"

Tia let out a soft exclamation of sudden realization, "Now that you mention it, I completely understand! So that's how it is! Then... what about teleportation?"

“That,” Chen Ming smiled, “the principle is actually simpler, but it requires a congenital condition—that is, twins.”
