At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

The night wind blew in gusts, making his back feel somewhat cold, yet Gu Yu took off his jacket and draped it over Lin Xinyue's shoulders.

"Silly, you're overthinking!"

Gu Yu adjusted her jacket, then indulgently pinched the tip of her nose with his hand.

Then he turned to the side, his gaze overlooking the endless sea of lights below, the dark sky also illuminated by this civilization's light.

"I know what you're worried about, and though you say those words are the reason on the surface, in truth, all your insecurities actually stem from not knowing me well enough."

As Gu Yu spoke, he paused, his expression suddenly becoming carefree.

Because next, he had to reveal to Lin Xinyue the things that were happening to him.

To disclose the existence of the system!

"Not knowing well enough?"

In the pause that followed, Lin Xinyue pursed her lips, slightly puzzled.

Gu Yu seemed right; her lack of confidence wasn't because she was dissatisfied with herself, but rather because she didn't understand what abilities Gu Yu possessed and what kind of family backed him.

Gu Yu was like boundless duckweed, seemingly just a gust of wind away from being carried far away.

This made her feel as if her lover was a kite tethered by a thin line, and once the line snapped, the kite would fly away.

Watching her look as though she'd just realized something, Gu Yu took a couple of deep breaths; he was about to reveal his secret.

He always monitored the system's reaction in his mind.

The multicolored orb of light was pulsating rhythmically and was not issuing any warnings to him.

In the past, he had tried to see if he could share this secret with Boss Pu and the others, but whenever such a thought emerged, the system would send out a strong warning.

If he shared this secret with Boss Pu and the others, the system would immediately destroy itself and also reset his related memories.

So from then on, he had stopped thinking about it.

Today, because of Lin Xinyue, he once again raised the thought.

He was even prepared for the possibility of losing everything and starting over.

Even if he lost the system, he could still keep Ideal Paradise running; although Ideal Paradise was always under the system's control, it could still operate normally without it.

This was why he always participated in every decision in Ideal Paradise and took a hands-on approach to every product development.

This was his contingency plan to prevent such scenarios.

To be nothing without the system would be nothing more than a puppet of the system.

That's why he usually made as little use as possible of the skills the system provided him, instead using these skills as support to build connections and delve deeper into various fields.

Being ready for any contingency was the only way he could feel at peace inside.

But strangely, this time the system did not react at all, as if it had already accepted the situation.

Since that was the case, he had nothing to worry about anymore.

"Xinyue, what I'm about to say may sound a bit sci-fi, but everything I'll tell you is true,"

"I'm going to share my biggest secret with you, the reason for all my success,"

Gu Yu grasped Lin Xinyue's shoulders with both hands, his expression utterly serious.

Lin Xinyue looked at him puzzled, but in her heart, there was a faint sense of anticipation.

Was Gu Yu about to reveal his family background to her?

Who exactly was he?

Lin Xinyue stared at Gu Yu without blinking, and Gu Yu took a deep breath, then slowly said:

"Actually, I have a Check-in System. All that I have is brought to me by the system!"

Lin Xinyue: "..."

She was silent for three seconds, then said solemnly, "Are you saying you are like a novel's protagonist, you have a magic advantage?"

Gu Yu was stunned, Lin Xinyue's reaction took him by surprise!

Such an unbelievable thing, most people shouldn't be able to accept it, right?

But he nodded anyway, "That's right! I have a golden finger!"

As he said this, he closely monitored the system's reaction in his mind.

However, the system remained silent, seemingly unconcerned about his confession to Lin Xinyue.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he had been prepared to lose the system, it was still a good thing that the system did not care.

"Pfft... Yu, you're just teasing me. Even though you're exactly like a novel protagonist, this is the real world. How could there be such a thing as a golden finger?"

"I thought you were going to tell me about your family background! But you're just playing with me again!"

Lin Xinyue rolled her eyes at Gu Yu.

After such a long buildup and her long anticipation, Gu Yu ended up teasing her with a trick that could fool a three-year-old.

But she did laugh, albeit with a complaining expression as she playfully punched Gu Yu on the shoulder.

The punch wasn't light, and Gu Yu actually felt some pain.

He was dumbfounded, after all, he had been honest about everything! But Lin Xinyue simply wouldn't believe it!

"I'm telling the truth!" Gu Yu insisted, frustrated that she didn't believe him when he told the truth.

"Yeah, yeah! Oh right, right, whatever you say is true!" Lin Xinyue nodded nonchalantly, her tone annoyed.

Gu Yu: "..."

Now he was out of options, having shared his biggest secret, Lin Xinyue just wouldn't believe him.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

How was he to solve her feeling of insecurity?

Wasn't this a vicious cycle?

Was he supposed to just use Check-in Points to exchange for a Spider-Man suit in the System Mall right now?

And then perform a demonstration of running along walls for her on the spot?

Although it sounded outrageous, it wasn't impossible...

Just as he was tempted to try, a faint sonic boom suddenly came from the distant sky.

Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue both turned their heads and saw a large drone approaching from the sky.

The two watched intently as it drew closer, flew overhead, and finally dropped a small box.

Gu Yu caught the box precisely, shook it, and heard something rolling inside.

After hesitating, he opened the box, only to find a colorful button inside.

Holding the button in his hand, he and Lin Xinyue exchanged puzzled glances.

Just then, his phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated, and upon checking, it was a call from his virtual assistant.

Gu Yu answered the call in front of Lin Xinyue.

"Hello?"

"Young master, the performance I've arranged for you is ready; you just need to press the button to start it."

The aged voice of the virtual assistant came through the phone.

Although the voice was not loud, Lin Xinyue could hear it clearly.

She glanced again at the "Housekeeper" note on Gu Yu's phone.

So, was this person from Gu Yu's family?

Lin Xinyue's eyes lit up as she took the colorful button from Gu Yu's hand.

She looked at Gu Yu for his approval.

By the time the housekeeper ended the call, a bewildered Gu Yu could only nod at her.

He too was curious to see what kind of performance the housekeeper had prepared.

Thus, Lin Xinyue excitedly pressed the button.

Three seconds later, the eastern sky of Modu suddenly lit up!
