112: Chapter 112 Family Reputation, Unlocking New Features

The addition of Zhao Feiyan to the Gu Family, while not a world-shaking event, was fresh blood injected into this rapidly developing Family.

Gu Yan did not go back on his word.

He held an initiation ceremony for Zhao Feiyan that, while not grand, was extremely solemn, officially taking her as his sixth wife.

Within the clan, he gave her a status equivalent to a "Protector," responsible for assisting Liu Ruyan in training the guards in the manor on a daily basis.

For this arrangement, Zhao Feiyan was naturally overjoyed.

Not only did she obtain the stable Cultivate environment she had dreamed of, but she also received a generous monthly stipend of "High Grade Medicinal Pill" that left her tongue-tied.

This treatment was a thousand times better than the precarious, hand-to-mouth life she lived as a Loose Cultivator.

In her heart, she was filled with gratitude and... a sense of belonging toward Gu Yan and the Gu Family.

...

On the night of their wedding.

In Gu Yan's mind, the System's notification sound rang out right on time.

[Beep! Core behavior of spreading branches and leaves detected...]

[Target character locked: Zhao Feiyan.]

[Aptitude evaluation: Yellow Rank Medium Grade.]

[Luck evaluation: Yellow Rank High Grade.]

[Overall evaluation: Good (B Rank).]

[Reward settlement in progress...]

[Congratulations to the Host, obtained [Lifespan + 8 years]!]

[Congratulations to the Host, your cultivation has improved, taking a step closer to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment Level 2!]

After the routine reward settlement, Gu Yan thought that the events of the night were over.

However.

Just as he was preparing to calm his mind and stabilize the cultivation that had just increased by a notch.

The System's electronic voice, which had already fallen silent, rang out again without warning!

This time, its voice carried a kind of cadenced solemnity, as if it were delivering an annual summary report!

[In addition!]

[In view of Comrade Host Gu Yan's excellent recent performance and active work!]

[Not only did you exceed the basic KPI indicators for "spreading branches and leaves," but you also performed heroically and turned the tide during the sudden large-scale group mission of the "Baifeng City defense battle," obtaining the highest S-Rank evaluation!]

[You have greatly enhanced the social prestige and regional influence of the "Gu Clan" sub-brand!]

[Approved unanimously by the... System Headquarters, highest KPI assessment committee, in an emergency meeting!]

[This System will undergo a major... version update!]

Version update?!

Gu Yan's mind jolted fiercely!

Before he could even ask.

A blue progress bar filled with futuristic technology unfolded in his consciousness space with a boom!

[System is updating to V2.0 version...]

[Update progress: 10%... 30%... 70%... 100%!]

[Ding—!]

A crisp, melodious notification sound, as if the gates to a new world had been opened, exploded suddenly!

[V2.0 version, update complete!]

[Update contents:]

[1. Optimized some UI interfaces and user experience.]

[2. Added core function module—[Martial Arts Hall]!]

[Congratulations to the Host, obtained the first Family building—[Martial Arts Hall]!]

[Host, hurry! Hurry and praise me!] The System's voice instantly broke character, returning to its merit-seeking corporate slave tone, "To apply for this brand new function module for you, I argued with the damn product manager in our department for three whole days and nights! My throat is almost hoarse!"

Gu Yan was left speechless by this seamless face-changing act.

However, his mind was already completely captivated by that brand-new term!

Family building?

Martial Arts Hall?

With a thought, he pulled up his System interface.

He saw that the simple interface, which originally only had the "Personal Panel" and "Mall" sections, was now brand new!

There was an extra, brand-new section called [Family] that was filled with an ancient and profound aura!

He clicked his consciousness into it.

A huge, vivid 3D sand table unfolded in his consciousness with a boom!

The appearance of the sand table was none other than... the topographic map of the entire Gu Garden!

At this moment, most areas of the sand table were shrouded in a layer of gray war fog.

Only in the center of the sand table, at the location of the martial arts field.

A phantom of an ancient, magnificent building filled with the aura of the Dao was slowly emitting golden light!

[Building name: Martial Arts Hall]

[Building Rank: Level 1 (Upgradeable)]

[Building function: This building is an interdimensional spiritual Cultivate space independent of the real world.]

[Function 1: Tenfold time difference! Family members can project a strand of Divine Sense into it to Cultivate. Inside the Martial Arts Hall, the flow of time is... ten times that of the outside world! One day outside, ten days inside!]

[Function 2: Dao Enlightenment acceleration! Inside the Martial Arts Hall, the efficiency of Cultivate and comprehending Cultivation Technique, Martial Skill, and even the Dao of pills will be... greatly improved!]

[Function 3: Simulated battle! Inside the Martial Arts Hall, you can conjure phantoms of any enemy you have seen based on the Host's memory to conduct... injury-free simulated actual combat drills!]

...

...

...

Silent.

Absolute, deathly silence.

Gu Yan looked at those lines of Heaven-Defying function descriptions that would drive any cultivator crazy.

At this moment, his breathing completely...

Stalled!

Tenfold time flow!

Dao Enlightenment acceleration!

Simulated battle!

This...

What the hell is this "Martial Arts Hall"?!

This is clearly a...

A super...

Cheat server capable of cultivating countless peerless Genius!!!

He had originally been worrying that although Gu Xuan and Gu Fan were gifted, they were still young and would need a long time to grow up.

But now...

With this "Martial Arts Hall"!

Ten years can be used as a hundred years!

Their growth speed will once again achieve a...

What kind of terrifying leap?!

"Hahaha... Hahahahaha!"

Gu Yan could no longer suppress the wild joy in his heart, stood up from the bed, and let out a laugh that was extremely hearty!

"Hus... Husband? What... What's wrong with you?"

Beside him, Zhao Feiyan, who had just fallen asleep, was startled by his sudden movement, sat up quickly, and asked with a look of concern.

"Nothing!"

"It's... a huge piece of good news!"

A brilliance never seen before erupted in Gu Yan's eyes!

He scooped up Zhao Feiyan, along with the soft quilt, in his arms!

Amidst her shy exclamation, he strode out of the room!

"Someone come!"

"Quickly, go call the First Wife, Second Wife, Third Wife, and... the young masters and young misses to the... Martial Arts Hall!"

"I have... a huge surprise to give them!"
