Ling Yi saw the beautiful woman, and the beautiful woman naturally saw Ling Yi as well.

"It's you. What are you doing here...?" Ling Yi pointed in the direction of the residential area and asked with some confusion.

"I discovered that there are so many delicious foods on this street, so I plan to stay here for a while longer and rented a place in this neighborhood."

With that, the beautiful woman extended her hand. "Let's get to know each other formally, my name is Chang E!"

Ling Yi and Chang E shook hands briefly, and Ling Yi exclaimed in surprise, " Chang'e? Isn't that name a bit too Xian'er?"

"Very ordinary, my name is Chang'e," Chang E explained with a smile.

"Oh, which building do you live in?"

"Building 11, Unit 3, Room 402!"

Ling Yi paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you sure?"

"What? Is there something wrong with this house?"

"No, I remember there were people in room 402!"

Chang E said, "Oh, the landlord told me about this. He said the person who originally rented the place just moved out this morning."

"I see. So, you ate rice noodles for dinner?"

"How did you know?" Chang E was a little surprised, then suddenly realized, "You know Uncle Li and Aunt Li from the rice noodle shop?"

402 is the home of Uncle Li and Aunt Li. The elderly couple runs a rice noodle shop, which is a well-established business that has been around for over ten years.

Uncle Li and Aunt Li usually live in the shop, so the vacant 402 room is usually rented out.

This is considered an extra source of income.

Ling Yi guessed that it was most likely that Chang E mentioned wanting to rent a house when she was eating at the rice noodle shop.

It just so happened that the original tenant of 402 was checking out that morning, so the two parties hit it off immediately.

But none of that matters. What matters is that Ling Yi lives right next to rooms 403 and 402!

This is truly quite a coincidence.

"Since you know Uncle Li and Aunt Li, you wouldn't happen to live in Building 11, would you?" Chang E asked.

Not only do I live in building 11, but I also live next door to you, in room 403!

"What a coincidence?" Chang E looked surprised, then covered her mouth and laughed.

"Why are you laughing?"

"So that's the person Uncle Li and Aunt Li were praising for so long!"

Ling Yi suddenly realized something, scratched his head awkwardly, and said, "Ahem, well, let's go, I'll help you with your luggage."

Chang E's luggage was quite down-to-earth.

A bright red quilt and mattress, and underneath them, several newly bought bright red plastic basins.

"Thank you, Aunt Li and the others are so kind. Aunt Li took me to buy all these new bedding," Chang E said with a smile.

As Ling Yi walked, he said, " Uncle Li and his wife are both very kind-hearted. When I first moved into this community, I hadn't even graduated from university yet, and they helped me a lot."

At that time, Ling Yi was very poor and often didn't know where his next meal would come from. After Uncle Li and his wife saw him eating steamed buns with cold water one time, they would bring Ling Yi a large bowl of rice noodles every night.

This delivery took a year and a half.

They stopped sending gifts to Ling Yi after he graduated, found a job, and his life gradually improved.

When Ling Yi isn't busy, he often goes to the store to help out.

Ling Yi and the elderly couple got along just like family.

We usually spend holidays and festivals at Uncle Li's house.

This allowed Ling Yi, an orphan since childhood, to experience the warmth of family affection—a rare treat.

This is one of the reasons why Ling Yi is unwilling to leave this neighborhood.

It wasn't just Aunt Li and her family; Uncle Liu and his family had also helped me a lot in the past.

Such a warm and welcoming neighborhood is a rare sight in today's concrete jungle of Metropolis.

Although Ling Yi Ling Yi former landlady, Auntie Lan, Auntie Lan didn't live in the community.

Now, Auntie Lan's house has also been bought by Ling Yi, and Auntie Lan has been completely "removed" from this community.

Building 11 was at the very back; it took them five or six minutes to walk there.

The smell in the hallway has faded considerably, but it still doesn't smell very pleasant. I guess Uncle Liu and the others had someone unclog the Water Dao this afternoon.

Otherwise, the situation would be even worse.

To Ling Yi's surprise, Chang E didn't seem to feel much discomfort or complain about anything.

Clearly, this wasn't a pretentious girl, which made Ling Yi admire her even more.

Although the original tenant of room 402 has left, the room is clearly not cleaned and appears quite messy.

It took Ling Yi and the other person almost an hour to get it looking presentable.

During this process, Chang E was also busy, running around doing chores, seemingly taking great care of this temporary new home.

"I'm so sorry, Ling Yi, for taking up so much of your time." Chang E poured Ling Yi a glass of water and said gratefully.

"Hey, it's nothing, helping each other out is what neighbors should do," Ling Yi said casually.

"It's too late today. As a thank you, I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow. I'm a great cook!"

At this moment, a speck of dust clung to the tip of Chang E's nose, making her inexplicably adorable. Coupled with her Yanran smile, this caused Ling Yi 'Chang E heart to flutter for a moment.

"Ahem, okay, well then, you should get some rest. I'm heading back now. See you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

After Ling Yi finished speaking, he took the initiative to close the door for Chang E.

Back home, Ling Yi's mind remained unsettled for a long time.

He had never been in a relationship before, and he had never known what it felt like to be moved, but just now, Ling Yi knew.

With a wry smile, Ling Yi suppressed the flutter in his heart and turned to sit down in front of the Computer.

Chang E is too outstanding, so outstanding that Ling Yi feels it's unreal!

I shook the mouse, Computer woke up from sleep mode, the screen instantly lit up.

To distract himself, Ling Yi Ling Yi the author's backend on Big Persimmon Chinese Web, and was immediately dumbfounded again.

Title: Annoying, My Dreams Have Become a TV Series!

Reading revenue: 59, Audiobook revenue: 0, Comment revenue: 9632, Update request revenue: 850, Tip revenue: 640,000,000, Total revenue: 640,010,541!

"Damn, does it have to be this exaggerated?"

Ling Yi glanced at the donations and comments; it was the same group of people as last time, including the Jade Emperor, the Buddha of Spirit Mountain Tathagata, the Cleanser of the Altars, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, the Thor, and the Mountain God.

Looking at these people's names, you'd think they were gods descended to earth.

Ling Yi thought for a moment and then left a message directly under the comment from the Jade Emperor had given the most tips.

Dream Reincarnation @ Jade Emperor: Thank you Jade Emperor for the 200 million reward! Old Tie, can you give me a reason? My heart can't take it!

After leaving a message, Ling Yi clicked back to the previous page and entered the message area.

Today's earnings from comments have almost reached ten thousand.

Although it couldn't compare to the earnings from tips, it was still a considerable sum. Ling Yi was very curious about what people had left in the comments.

When I opened it, the screen was filled with question marks!

Bored Person No. 1:??? Even data manipulation wouldn't dare to do this! Only fourteen chapters, and the total reward amount has already exceeded eight small goals! I have a bunch of question marks in my head!

Likes: 375! Replies: 662!

Hurry Up and Update: Is this a data error? I just have one question for the author: Have you withdrawn your winnings? If not, please withdraw them immediately and then run away.

Likes: 655! Replies: 978!

Mini Little Sister:??? Oh my god, what did the author even write? Is there any expert who understands it? Copy and pasted the whole screen. "Thump, clang, roar, hoo". Oh Dahai, you're all water.

Likes: 2033! Replies: 1155!

Heaven-Exploding Gang:??? I just want to ask the number one on the Jade Emperor, and the number two, the Buddha Tathagata, are you serious? Seriously, can you come out and show yourselves for a bit?

Likes: 5212! Replies: 10443!

Super Bored Person No. 2:??? It's already trending, and Shizi still hasn't said a word. Could he have been hacked by some super hacker?

Likes: 996! Replies: 699!

In fact, Ling Yi was also full of questions.

If it really is a data error, then the Big Persimmon or the bank should have contacted me, but several days have passed and they haven't.

Not only did they not, but today's donations actually exceeded six and a half small goals.

Ling Yi browsed through various online platforms, and sure enough, his novel was trending.

But everyone was just watching the show with a detached, gossipy attitude; no one actually criticized him.

There are two opposing viewpoints online.

One possibility is that the Big Persimmon data is incorrect; another is that a super hacker has infiltrated the server and altered the data.

Is it really a data error on Big Persimmon or a hacker intrusion?

Ling Yi had a very far-fetched guess in his mind.

Perhaps this is related to his Stone Stele Dreamscape.

Just then, the Jade Emperor replied to Ling Yi's message.

Jade Emperor @Dream Reincarnation: Young friend, there's no need to overthink it. This is what you deserve. Just accept it with peace of mind. You will naturally understand the Karma in the future.

After hesitating for a moment, Ling Yi typed a reply again.

Dream Reincarnation @ Jade Emperor: Is it related to those 48 characters?

Ling Yi didn't ask if the other party was the Jade Emperor, nor did he ask if it was because of the Stone Stele Dreamscape.

If the other party replies yes, then those two questions are pretty much answered.

Ling Yi kept refreshing the page.

But this time, the Jade Emperor did not give a reply for a long time.

Not replying is, in effect, a reply as well.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that the Jade Emperor gave his reply, which consisted of only one word: Yes!

But immediately afterward, a system message from Big Persimmon appeared in his author backend.

Ling Yi clicked on it and saw a notification.

Notification: Hello Dream Reincarnation, because your novel "Annoying, My Dreams Have Become a TV Series!" meets the requirements for creating a special channel, the system will open a brand new reading channel for you...

It's a long and rambling explanation, but it boils down to three main points.

1. His novels are only available to a select group of readers and are no longer open to the general public.

2. It was specifically emphasized that tipping is compliant, can be withdrawn at any time, and a special withdrawal channel is available.

3. There is no longer a word limit for the novel. You can write as much as you want in each chapter. As long as Ling Yi is willing, he can write even one word. However, he must update every day.

After reading this, Ling Yi fell into deep thought.

A moment later, Ling Yi returned to the backend data interface and directly clicked "withdraw".

Just like last time, the money arrived instantly.

Ling Yi didn't know was that at this very moment, a newly created chat group was incredibly lively.

{ Heavenly Court Chat Group }

Tathagata: Jade Emperor, what is the meaning of this group name? Where does it place my Buddhist School Spirit Mountain?

Jade Emperor: I'm the group owner. If you're unhappy, leave the group! Didn't you shamelessly join us?

Jade Emperor: Didn't you also create your own { Spirit Mountain Chat Group } on Spirit Mountain?

Tathagata: Amitabha Buddha.

The Tathagata changed the subject!

Tathagata: Gentlemen, I wonder if you have successfully Spirit Refining Court?
