System: Master Your Life

Chapter 1001 - 263: National Day Arrives

Classmate Rong is bad at gaming but loves to play.

Tonight, Xu Lin made her cry hard.

Their tussle lasted till late at night.

Xu Lin woke up at eight the next morning, while Rong Xiyi was still asleep.

Today, there were no classes.

After getting up, Xu Lin worked out for over an hour.

Then, he showered and had a simple breakfast.

At this time, Rong Xiyi was still asleep, probably until noon.

Xu Lin, with nothing to do, decided to head to the gaming room to work.

"What should I do?"

To be honest, Xu Lin had plenty on his plate.

For instance, he had lectures on artificial intelligence to give.

However, it wasn’t universities inviting him; it was the academy asking him to specially conduct lectures for some big names in the science world, even including some academicians.

That kind of task is not something you can settle in just one day.

Additionally, there were tasks like helping train an artificial intelligence for the authorities.

Things like these.

"Forget it, all those messy things can wait, let’s do something fun."

Work can be boring.

But sometimes you can find some fun in work.

Like updating games.

Xu Lin had two games. "Man’s Guide to Reversing Fortune" had been completely updated by Moon God. Xu Lin’s requirement for this game was for the storyline to be pure escapism, where if the protagonist is male, a bunch of beautiful ladies would be introduced for the player to conquer.

And the second game, "Immortal."

For the technical issues in the storyline games, Moon God was to handle them.

But when it came to the storylines, character design, and so on, Xu Lin did it himself.

He always believed in his creativity.

This game’s storyline and character design are even more complex, with a very grand plot featuring a group portrait. There are hundreds or even thousands of vivid characters, all individually designed by Xu Lin—it’s not as simple as slapping a few Zhang San and Li Si in there.

The grand plot combined with complex character settings means that this game world is essentially a parallel universe in the true sense.

How should this be understood?

Like in your neighborhood, your family might be happy, but your neighbor’s isn’t, or maybe your neighbor’s family is happier than yours. Thus epitomizing every aspect of life’s ups and downs, this is a true parallel reality world.

The world Xu Lin set up in the game is like this, it’s what people say is, you can’t even tell the difference between the game and reality.

"It’s almost my turn to appear, I need to draw something."

Xu Lin opened the "Creation Tool" software.

He imported a picture of himself into it.

Then, through Creation Tool, a four-dimensional ancient style version of Xu Lin was generated.

The so-called four-dimensional is a term netizens use to describe Xu Lin’s gaming world.

The four-dimensional Xu Lin is an important character in the game, Young Master Xu.

Xu Lin tweaked himself a bit, keeping the general appearance the same.

However, he didn’t need to modify much, being six-foot-three, tall and handsome. There’s nothing to worry about in modeling, so Xu Lin just enhanced maturity a tad, not looking so juvenile.

After finishing his modeling, Xu Lin began working on the modeling of Yu Xinyan and the others around him.

At present, the girls around Xu Lin, who will appear in the game, include Yu Xinyan and Chi Linyue.

Xu Lin thinks actors have something to envy: they can put their appearance from half or even all their life onto the big screen, especially when they’re young.

This is like how many like taking pictures and videos to record life, so that, when old, they can look back at photos or short videos and reminisce.

People tend to be nostalgic.

Hence, Xu Lin plans to keep the important people around him in his gaming world, granting them a sort of immortality.

Oh right.

What’s it called?

Cyber immortality?

The second modeling was Yu Xinyan’s.

Xu Lin used the same method, importing her picture, then generating an ancient-style version of her.

Yu Xinyan didn’t get any adjustments; Xu Lin made sure she stayed beautifully in that four-dimensional space.

The same for Chi Linyue.

As for Rong Xiyi and the rest, Xu Lin hasn’t updated them yet; they’ll be added gradually later.

Some plot involving Yu Xinyan also needs updating today.

In the game, Yu Xinyan likes Xu Lin, with stories from their childhood incorporated and modified based on reality, meaning the years of them being childhood sweethearts, enhancing her character with depth.

Xu Lin spent over two hours adding story branches for her, allowing her to participate in multiple main stories and world lines.

His game has over a hundred main storylines, and even more subplots—over ten thousand—and they continuously expand with the worldview.

Generally, an author couldn’t come up with so many storylines that harmoniously interweave.

But Xu Lin is not ordinary; his mind stands at the pinnacle of human history, holding immense creative power alone.

So just counting the stories within, eventually, it becomes an epic saga.

After updating these, Rong Xiyi was still not up.

Xu Lin continued to stay busy.

Finally, after over ten minutes, Xu Lin heard footsteps coming from the next room.

Clearly, Rong Xiyi was awake.

"Xu Lin, what’s for lunch?"

Soon after, Rong Xiyi yawned, approached, and stood at the doorway to ask.

"Take a shower first, then we’ll head out later."

"Oh oh, I’ll go shower first!"
