"For a new Lord, your first descent into the Endless Void automatically triggers the 'Newbie Trial' period. Consider this the Void's little 'welcome gift'!""Simply survive for 30 days, and you'll receive the Void's rewards. The better you perform during these 30 days, the better the rewards!""Therefore, the Newbie Trial is often the golden opportunity for ordinary folks to make a legendary leap!""However, with the trial having so many restrictions, World Wonders are supposed to have their functions temporarily disabled, right?"Wu Chi's heart pounded with excitement. This was a pleasant surprise.This cheat... seems a bit overpowered!"If that's the case, surviving 30 days shouldn't be hard. I might even be able to achieve an outstanding score!"After a moment of contemplation, Wu Chi looked at the Altar's property panel and decisively clicked the plus sign.In an instant, the ancient, dilapidated altar was enveloped in a radiant, five-colored divine light!This was the power of the [Mechanical Core]. Wu Chi quickly jumped back.Turning to look, the divine light dissipated as quickly as it appeared, revealing a small, two-story red pavilion. Adorned with crimson silk curtains, a redwood staircase, and an antique-style gate plaque bearing five large characters:The Twelve Beauties of Jinling!"This is..."Wu Chi's heart skipped a beat, his expression turning strange.Why does this look so damn familiar... like something from my past life memories...After a moment's thought, he opened the new building's property panel.[The Red Mansions]Building Type: Altar.Level: 1 (1/200).Function: Summon (10), Advanced Summon (100).Hero: None.Introduction: A special altar capable of summoning unique, exclusive heroes."The Red Mansions... The Twelve Beauties of Jinling... Could it really be...""But even if I summon characters from that novel, what good would they be? They can't help me fight!"Wu Chi's face shifted between uncertainty and hope, but remembering the potency of his golden finger, he calmed down.A golden finger capable of evolving a white trait into a golden one, and even ignoring the rules of the Endless Void... it surely can't be useless!Good or bad, I'll know once I summon someone!With that thought, Wu Chi stepped into the Red Mansions.It was an architecturally ancient building. In the main hall, furnished in a classical style, stood a table, chairs, a teapot, and two white porcelain cups.Wu Chi looked around before returning to sit in one of the chairs.He placed 10 Void Crystals on the table."Summon!"Hummm—!The 10 Void Crystals instantly turned to dust.In the next moment, an ink-wash aesthetic flowed through the Red Mansions, coalescing into a scroll painting with blurry human figures outlined in gold, silver, and bronze!The bronze outlines were the most numerous, the silver fewer, and the gold outlines were the rarest!Suddenly, one figure after another began to glow!"Drawing in progress..."Abruptly, the light settled, highlighting a graceful silhouette leaning against a snow-covered tree!"Hero Acquired — [Lin Daiyu]!"In that ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) instant, the scroll vanished, and the ink-wash colors faded away.As an ethereal, melancholic voice sounded, a woman of breathtaking beauty slowly materialized in the chair opposite Wu Chi."Vain are the knitted brows,  Blame not the east wind but yourself."Her eyes, glistening with unshed tears, held a profound sorrow. Beneath those captivating, expressive orbs, her delicate nose twitched slightly, and her thin, vermilion lips parted, her voice as clear and pleasing as pearls falling onto a jade plate."Your humble servant, a creature of grass and wood, Lin Daiyu, pays her respects to the young master.""Holy shit! It really is Sister Lin!"Wu Chi's face twitched, his expression a complicated mix of emotions.Lin Daiyu, nicknamed "The Sickly Beauty," possessed peerless beauty and was known as the "Vermilion Pearl Immortal" and "Xiaoxiang Immortal." She was brilliantly intelligent and exceptionally talented.But the problem was... she was sickly and delicate, couldn't even tie a chicken's legs together, let alone fight!She doesn't even have the strength of a single goose! How is she supposed to battle Void monsters?!"We're screwed!"Wu Chi felt his morale taking a serious hit.Just then, Lin Daiyu noticed his expression and spoke softly, "Young master, are you acquainted with this humble one?""I... I know a little," Wu Chi sighed deeply."The jade belt hanging in the forest, The gold pin buried in the snow."These stunningly beautiful women... didn't exactly have happy endings, if memory served.He recalled that Lin Daiyu's fate was to cry herself to death out of heartbreak—a truly tragic end."It seems the young master is aware of this humble one's past life.""After death, I realized that living within the Jia Manor was a fate worse than death. Now, having been granted a new life, my heart has found a certain peace."Lin Daiyu offered words of comfort, her beautiful eyes showing a touch of gratitude.She mistakenly thought Wu Chi was saddened by her tragic story.Little did she know...This is such a scam! How am I supposed to fight monsters with Sister Lin, whose combat power is less than a goose's?! Is this hero altar broken or what?!Wu Chi was screaming internally. After a moment's hesitation, he opened Lin Daiyu's property panel.And what he saw...Left him utterly dumbfounded.[Lin Daiyu]Identity: Hero.Race: Human.Quality: Gold Legendary.Level: 1.Bloodline: [Vermilion Pearl Plant] +1.Talent: [Strength to Uproot Mountains, A Spirit That Overtops the World] +1.Bond: "The Twelve Beauties of Jinling."Physique: 200 (Base 20, 1000% multiplier)Spirit: 11 (Base 1.1, 1000% multiplier)Introduction: Having lived a second life, Lin Daiyu is determined to shed her tearful image.
