It was almost three in the morning by the time Lin Ye returned to his dorm.
He had thought his three roommates would be asleep, but when he carefully pushed open the dorm door, he realized he had thought too much.
The dorm lights were indeed off, but everyone's face was glowing.
When Lin Ye entered, three pairs of eyes, wide as brass bells, stared at him in unison.
“Wow! You’re finally back.”
“Yeah, if you hadn't come back, we would have thought you spent the night with some pretty young lady.”
“Just thinking about you spending the night with a beautiful woman made us too anxious to sleep in the dorm.”
“Quick, quick, tell us how you felt in that bar today, whether any women took advantage of you, whether your beautiful boss gave you special treatment, whether any rich women wanted to keep you.”
“Turn on the light! ”
Clap!
The previously dark dorm immediately lit up. His three roommates didn't even bother to sleep; they directly got up and surrounded Lin Ye.
At this moment, Lin Ye had changed into everyday clothes, but various fragrances still lingered on him.
His three roommates, like detectives, looked here and there, and soon they discovered the lipstick marks on Lin Ye's face that hadn't been completely wiped off.
“Wow! What is this? Is this a lip print?”
“Good heavens, and not just one. How many people kissed you?”
“Tsk tsk tsk, I'm fiercely envious. How did such a good thing fall to you, kid?”
“And there's the smell of alcohol. You drank, kid.”
“Come, come, sit down and talk, sit down and talk. We waited up for you tonight specifically to hear what happened to you today.”
“Do you want to eat? I have snacks here.”
At this moment, his three roommates were incredibly enthusiastic.
Lin Ye calmly sat down and began to tell the three of them about his experience at Black Rose Bar today.
Although he omitted some key details, the three people present were still incredibly excited to hear it.
“Wow, this Black Rose Bar is too interesting. It's a shame I'm a man; otherwise, I'd definitely go in and see.”
“So, you really earned tens of thousands of yuan in one night?”
“This is more profitable than doing live streams. Why can't I do magic? Is it too late to learn now?”
After some pleasantries, Lin Ye began to wash up and shower.
Having been busy all day, he was now feeling tired.
He had thought he would fall asleep quickly after showering and lying in bed, but when he actually lay down, he realized he seemed to have passed the point where he was most sleepy, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
“Oh, right, I haven't told Hu Die that I'm back at school.”
Thinking of this, he quickly picked up his phone and opened WeChat.
As soon as he opened WeChat, he found more than a dozen unread messages.
Several were from Hu Die, and the other dozen or so were from the Lip Stud Girl he had saved, Song Bao'er.
After telling Hu Die that he was back in the dorm and lying down, he curiously opened the chat interface with Song Bao'er.
As soon as he opened the chat interface, what popped up first was a bunch of cute emojis and two messages.
“Brother, have you arrived at the dorm?”
“I'm going to sleep, good night, brother.”
Looking at these two messages, Lin Ye couldn't help but smile helplessly.
He couldn't quite understand it. Song Bao'er had deliberately tried to expose him during his magic performance earlier.
How, in just a few short hours, had she become so enthusiastic towards him?
“Girls are truly a creature that's hard to understand.”
He casually replied to Song Bao'er, telling her he was back in the dorm.
As he sent the message, several kilometers away, on a large hotel bed, Song Bao'er, who had removed her makeup, changed into cute little bear pajamas, and was lying on the bed with her calves raised high, immediately opened WeChat.
When she saw the message Lin Ye had sent her, an inexplicable smile appeared on her pretty little face.
“He replied to me!”
“No! Why should I be happy! I wasn't even expecting him to reply to me.”
“This feeling is so strange. I should hate men.”
“Song Bao'er, you need to be rational. You can't be mesmerized by him just because he's handsome and saved you. TikTok says that touching men will bring bad luck.”
“But he seems different from other men.”
“Oh, oh, what am I saying? Hmph! I'll delete him tomorrow morning!”
After fiercely saying this, her finger, however, disobediently sent Lin Ye a polite nodding emoji.
“Dead hand! What are you doing!”
“Turn it off, turn it off! No more phone! Any decisions made in the early hours are irrational!”
With that, Song Bao'er forcibly turned off her phone, and then she even buried her head under the pillow.
However, soon after, muffled giggles came from under the pillow, as if she had thought of something happy.
.......
At the same time, Lin Ye, who had also put down his phone and was preparing to sleep, also thought of something: since it was past midnight, the system's daily tasks and sign-in package should have refreshed. He really wanted to see what the system would give him today.
He casually opened the system interface, and just as he expected, not only had the daily sign-in reward refreshed, but the daily tasks and mysterious shop had also refreshed.
His maximum magic power had also increased from 20 points to 30 points, and the magic power in his body was more abundant.
With a hint of anticipation, Lin Ye clicked on the daily sign-in package.
The next second, a notification sound rang out.
“Ding! Sign-in successful. Today's sign-in reward has been sent to the system backpack. Please check it yourself, Host.”
Immediately, a white light flew from the sign-in interface into the system backpack.
Seeing this, Lin Ye quickly looked in the direction of his three roommates, and after confirming that they were all asleep, he carefully took out the gift package from the system backpack.
As soon as the gift package was taken into the real world, it transformed into a book.
When Lin Ye saw the book, he knew that today's sign-in reward was another spell.
He immediately used his phone screen light to illuminate the book's cover.
Soon, four large characters appeared before him—Proficiency in Languages.
Upon seeing these four characters, a hint of disappointment flashed across Lin Ye's face.
He yearned more for those cool-effect spells, such as Fireball, Wind Blade, or Lightning Strike.
Proficiency in Languages, at first glance, was clearly a support spell. Not to say it was worthless, but its utility was limited. He couldn't even imagine how to integrate this spell with magic tricks.
“Forget it, something is better than nothing.”
“Let's learn it first and see.”
As he spoke, he directly opened the book's cover. The next second, a large amount of cultivation memories related to Proficiency in Languages flooded into his brain, merging with his own memories.
In these memories, he became a language master who understood the languages of all races. No matter what language, he only needed to cast this spell to instantly grasp and master it.
Elvish, Dwarven, Draconic, Orcish, and even the language of magical beasts.
By the time he had fully received all the information, his expression had gradually changed.
“It seems this spell is more useful than I imagined.”
“Not only can I talk to people, but I can also talk to animals. As long as I activate the spell, I can instantly learn the other party's language.”
“This way, foreign language classes will be no difficulty for me in the future. As long as I want to, I can master all the languages on the entire Blue Star.”
Understanding this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
“Oh, right, I should also check what new items have refreshed in the mysterious shop today.”
As he spoke, he opened the mysterious shop. Just like before, today's mysterious shop had refreshed with brand new items.
The difference was that there were four items today.

Looking at the four items before him, Lin Ye's eyes suddenly lit up.
