310: Chapter 310 New Mission

The next day, when the sun was already high in the sky, Jiang Ye was awakened by a severe headache.

It had been too long since he drank like that, and his body was clearly protesting.

Rubbing his temples and yawning, he walked out of the master bedroom, intending to go to the kitchen to whip up something to line his stomach.

As soon as he stepped into the living room, Jiang Ye paused.

On the dining table, several items were laid out.

A white insulated pot sat with its lid on, and beside it was a bowl of noodles that had been boiled, drained, and tossed in sesame oil to prevent them from sticking.

Next to the insulated pot was a paper bag printed with "Meituan Pharmacy," containing a box of liver protection pills, and it was even thoughtfully accompanied by a bottle of electrolyte water.

Jiang Ye froze for a moment, then walked over quickly and lifted the lid of the pot.

A rich, savory aroma of chicken soup instantly wafted up; the broth was clear and golden, and it was still piping hot to the touch.

He looked at the carefully prepared noodles, then glanced at the liver protection pills and electrolyte water, finally letting his gaze rest on Lin Wanxing's tightly closed bedroom door.

Although the system notification bar didn't trigger any cashback alerts because of this "care," it didn't stop a wave of warmth from welling up in his heart.

Coach Lin was truly the typical "cold outside, warm inside" type; she talked about being annoyed, but her actions were incredibly thoughtful.

Yeah, she's alright.

Jiang Ye's mood instantly improved. He casually put the noodles into the chicken soup and sat at the dining table, slurping them up.

With the hot soup in his stomach, he felt much more comfortable.

While eating, he sank his consciousness into his mind and summoned the system interface.

"System, refresh the monthly mission!"

The light screen in his mind flickered, and new mission information appeared:

[February 2026 Monthly Mission: The Art of Ubiquity]

[Mission Objective]: Within 3 hours on the same night, successfully attend impromptu invitations from three Girls with a charm value > 80 at different times and locations, and ensure that each time you attend, the other party feels you came specifically for them and didn't leave in a hurry.

[Mission Difficulty]: ★★★★★ (An extreme test of time management, transportation skills, acting, and creative excuses)

[Mission Rewards]:

A. [Time Fold] (One-time item): After use, you can extend your subjective perception of 1 hour in reality to 2 hours.

B. Cash reward of 1.5 million yuan.

Jiang Ye's noodle-eating motion paused, then he decisively took out his phone and transferred all the money in his WeChat and bank card to his mother, with the note "paying filial piety," leaving only three cents.

The reward for this mission looked insanely good, but in reality, he had absolutely no idea how to use it; it was the type that would most likely just collect dust in his inventory.

Furthermore, although there were indeed three Girls around him, each of them was sharper than the last. Trying to hop between dates without getting caught? Impossible.

"System, refresh."

[Refresh successful! Paid refreshes this month (1/3).]

[Fee deducted: 0.01 yuan.]

[February 2026 Monthly Mission]

Mission Name: Soul Catcher

Mission Objective: Without asking directly, successfully gain insight into and verify one true secret deep within the hearts of three Girls with a charm value > 80.

Mission Difficulty: ★★★★☆ (An extreme test of the host's observation skills, empathy, and conversation techniques)

Mission Description: The deepest secrets are hidden in the most inadvertent details. A true gentleman is not just about outward appearances, but is a decoder of the soul. Listen to the words left unsaid, observe the fleeting expressions, and become a "catcher" who can touch the soul.

Mission Rewards:

A. [Micro-Expression Master] (Passive skill): Slightly improves the accuracy of interpreting the micro-expressions, tone, and body language of target Girls, allowing for a sharper grasp of their true emotions and thoughts.

B. 1.3 million yuan in cash.

Jiang Ye frowned and shoveled a large mouthful of noodles into his mouth.

"Continue refreshing."

[Refresh successful! Paid refreshes this month (2/3).]

[Fee deducted: 0.01 yuan.]

[February 2026 Monthly Mission]

Mission Name: Cultural Heritage Guardian

Mission Objective: Successfully guide and assist a Girl with a charm value > 80 to independently complete an initial experience or study of a small "Intangible Cultural Heritage" or traditional craft, and make her develop a genuine interest in that culture.

Mission Difficulty: ★★★★☆ (Tests the host's breadth of knowledge, ability to find resources, and techniques for guiding interest)

Mission Description: Beauty exists not only in people but also in cultures passed down for thousands of years. Guiding a beautiful soul to feel another form of beauty is both protection and a new creation. Let ancient crafts glow anew in the hands of the new generation.

Mission Rewards:

A. [Wide Knowledge] (Passive skill): Slightly improves memory and understanding in fields like obscure knowledge and traditional culture.

B. Specific Traditional Craft Experience Voucher * 3.

"..."

Jiang Ye sighed, feeling that this month's missions were getting more and more abstract; they were either off-the-charts difficult or had bizarre directions.

"Refresh."

[Refresh successful! Paid refreshes this month (3/3).]

[Fee deducted: 0.01 yuan.]

[February 2026 Monthly Mission]

Mission Name: The Intersection of Fate

Mission Objective: Cause two Girls who do not know each other, both with a charm value > 80, to become acquainted because of the host without them knowing, and meet consecutively within three days.

Mission Difficulty: ★★★★☆ (Tests the host's planning ability, information gathering ability, and grasp of timing)

Mission Description: Fate is wonderful, but sometimes it also needs a little "ingenuity." Weave an invisible net to let two beautiful paths intersect at the most suitable moment, colliding to create warm sparks. You will be the behind-the-scenes director of this wonderful encounter.

Mission Rewards:

A. [Causality Perturbation Coin] (One-time item): After use, you can slightly increase the success rate of a meticulously planned "coincidence" event within 24 hours.

B. Cash reward of 1.1 million yuan.

Jiang Ye took a sip of soup and completely gave up.

He had indeed met quite a few Girls with a charm value > 80, and setting them up to meet wasn't difficult, but what was hard was making them meet consecutively for three days without them knowing.

As for that "Causality Perturbation" item...

Jiang Ye scratched his head and decisively threw this mission to the back of his mind.

Forget it, anyway, his KPI for this month was already met, so he might as well slack off and go home to celebrate Little New Year with his mom!

He finished the noodles in a few bites, took the liver protection pills, and asked for the money he had just transferred to his mom for "paying filial piety" back—well, he was scolded as expected.

Then he ducked back into the master bedroom, took a comfortable shower, changed into clean clothes, and prepared to go out.
