What is the most beautiful sound in the world?

Of course, it's the sound of a red envelope being credited to someone's account.

Outside Ling Yi's house, there were busy figures and the sound of mobile phone red envelopes arriving.

They didn't know how Ling Yi did it, but as soon as they opened a package and delivered it to Ling Yi's room, a 100 yuan red envelope would be credited to his account immediately.

Whether it's the residents in the neighborhood or the deliverymen, everyone who hears this beautiful sound can't help but smile.

There's no need for these people to fight over them; after all, there are just too many packages, and there are several more truckloads of packages downstairs.

However, as the unpacked packages piled up, the once spacious corridor became increasingly cramped.

"Hey you, and you two, you're responsible for throwing these out at the entrance of the residential area."

Ling Yi selected two deliverymen and said that as soon as he finished speaking, both of their phones received a notification that "5,000 yuan" had been deposited into their accounts.

The two of them stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "Holy crap, 5000?"

"Yes, boss!"

"Don't worry, boss, it'll be fine!"

Those around them were envious; they could do that job too.

However, no one spoke; everyone was busy unpacking their packages and listening to the delightful sound of the red envelopes arriving in their accounts.

Just then, landlord Shen Qingyi and a group of deliverymen, their faces flushed, squeezed out of the elevator.

Seeing the busy figures in the corridor, Shen Qingyi looked quite surprised.

He was even more shocked when he saw people bringing unpacked items into Ling Yi's room.

Shen Qingyi, Ling Yi's beautiful landlady, is 26 years old, young, beautiful, kind, and innocent.

In addition, half of this building belongs to her; she's definitely a wealthy young woman.

Every month, he would donate money or supplies to the orphanage where Ling Yi's predecessor had lived.

After Ling Yi's predecessor left the orphanage, it was Shen Qingyi who "rented" this house to Ling Yi for 500 yuan per month.

Although it was called a rent, nearly a year and a half has passed since Ling Yi moved in, and the original owner of the body has never paid rent once. It's not that the original owner didn't want to pay, but Shen Qingyi always refused with various excuses.

Moreover, Shen Qingyi paid for the protagonist's tuition from elementary school to high school.

Ling Yi wasn't the only student sponsored by Shen Qingyi. Although Ling Yi didn't know the exact number, he heard from the dean that Shen Qingyi had sponsored at least a hundred children from impoverished mountain areas.

In the original owner's heart, Shen Qingyi was just like his own older sister.

" Ling Yi, what's going on?"

"Sis, you're just in time. Keep an eye on things for me."

"This, I..." Shen Qingyi was somewhat bewildered.

"Please, I'll explain later!" Ling Yi said, turning to return to his room.

"Wait a minute, online..."

"Sis, I'll explain to you after I'm done with this!"

Shen Qingyi swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

The reason she came to see Ling Yi today was because she saw news about Ling Yi online, and it was even trending on social media.

It was a surveillance video, and the content was exactly the surveillance footage of Ling Yi's awakening.

But Grandpa Rick's image is far too deceptive.

He looks like an old man with dementia, and netizens Taunt him as the most useless inheritor in history, while Ling Yi was also called the worst Awakened.

As for who leaked it? Without a doubt, it was Zhuo Bin.

Zhuo Bin probably didn't expect this to become a trending topic. He originally just posted the surveillance video on his WeChat Moments with Taunt text because he was annoyed with Ling Yi, just to amuse himself.

However, someone reposted this video to their own short video account.

If that were all, it wouldn't have made it to the trending topics.

But coincidentally, one of the reporters who interviewed Ling Yi that day discovered this video.

Damn it, isn't this that arrogant kid who Taunt himself as "Oli Gei"?

I thought he had awakened some amazing master, but it turns out he's just an old man with dementia.

So the reporter edited the video and posted it on his own media account.

The title is: The weakest lineage master, the weakest Awakened in history, without exception.

Then, this news went viral.

The lineage masters are diverse and varied, some strong and some weak.

But broadly speaking, they can be divided into three categories: cultivation-based, Superpower- based, and life-based!

However, netizens really don't know which category this Grandpa Rick belongs to. Even if he is a life-type inheritor, he still possesses considerable power that ordinary people cannot compare to.

In the past, the figures of the inheritors were all very young, with the oldest being only around forty years old, and eight out of ten of them were handsome men and beautiful women; there were almost none who were ugly.

Grandpa Rick's image truly defied people's expectations.

Netizens even jokingly referred to Grandpa Rick as a "useless" character.

Shen Qingyi came to Ling Yi, hoping that Ling Yi wouldn't be affected by the comments online.

She herself is Awakened, and a Life-type Awakened, while her mentor is a handsome chef named Rong Nianbing.

If Ling Yi heard the name Rong Nianbing, he would be greatly surprised.

This is no ordinary cook; he's a super-powerful Magic Mage disguised as a cook.

However, even after ten years as Awakened, Shen Qingyi's Fusion with her Inheritor was only barely 20%, though she could still set fires and cool things down.

But its power, while not entirely nonexistent, is certainly negligible.

Shen Qingyi has always regarded her mentor as a chef.

Rong Nianbing is probably crying herself to sleep in the bathroom.

Around 10 p. m., Ling Yi and Shen Qingyi stood in the middle of the small living room, which was already filled with various things.

There were a total of 2,900 items, filling both bedrooms, the study, the storage room, the kitchen, and even the bathroom.

Among them were various robotic arms, Computer, mobile phones, traditional Chinese medicine, some chemical agents, various metal coils... and even several fortunately intelligent robots.

With a wave of his hand, Ling Yi put all these items into his system inventory.

Upon seeing this, Shen Qingyi's pupils contracted. Spatial ability?

"Your blue-haired old man, is he Superpower inheritor?" Shen Qingyi asked in surprise.

"What, a blue-haired old man?" Ling Yi didn't react for a moment.

"It's your mentor!"

Ling Yi was taken aback and asked in surprise, "You're not talking about Grandpa Rick, are you? Sis, how did you know?"

"Don't you know? You're famous online now!"

"..." Ling Yi was bewildered.

"Look!"

Shen Qingyi opened her phone and found the trending topics. "The weakest Awakened in history" was still at the top of the trending list.

And it seems even more popular now than it was this morning.

It has been viewed over 300 million times and has received over 10 million comments.

Ling Yi wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, he found it quite amusing. Was Grandpa Rick afraid of being exposed? Of course not.

This guy is always stirring things up; being low-key? Forget about it.

Seeing that Ling Yi was still smiling, Shen Qingyi asked curiously, "Aren't you angry?"

"What's there to be angry about? It's more satisfying to slap them in the face later."

"That's true. Space Ability are extremely rare. If this news gets out... But it's better to keep a low profile. If the Light Revival Sect targets us, it'll be troublesome."

Ling Yi did not explain to Shen Qingyi that she had misunderstood him as a spatial Awakened.

Grandpa Rick is omnipotent; he can even travel through time like a pro. Calling him a space Awakened wouldn't be a problem.

But what about "Light Revival Sect"? I'll have to look that up later.

Seeing Ling Yi's nonchalant expression, Shen Qingyi tapped his head and said, "You better take this seriously. Spatial abilities are powerful, but they're not invincible."

"Don't worry, sis, I know what I'm doing."

"Hmph, you'd be lucky to know. I'll go cook for you."

Ling Yi wanted to say no, but then delicious Daodao flooded his mind. He then remembered that Shen Qingyi's cooking skills were extremely good. She was an Awakened One, and her mentor was a chef who could use magic!

A chef with magical powers?

Ling Yi watched the beautiful figure busy in the kitchen and asked curiously, "Sister, what's your mentor's name?"

" Rong Nianbing, didn't I tell you already?"

"Holy crap!" Ling Yi's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Ling Yi's voice was so loud that Shen Qingyi almost dropped the kitchen knife in her hand.

" Ling Yi, why are you making such a fuss?" Shen Qingyi said, annoyed.

"Sis, are you sure you want to call her Rong Nianbing?"

"Nonsense, what's so surprising about Rong Nianbing's name? She's just a cook!" Shen Qingyi said with slight dissatisfaction.

Who wouldn't want their mentor to be powerful? But her mentor was a cook, which was embarrassing to admit.

Therefore, she rarely mentions to others that she is also an Awakened.

"A cook? No, sis, that's not it..." Ling Yi suddenly realized she couldn't explain it.

He knew who Rong Nianbing was, but how could he explain Rong Nianbing he knew?

"Ahem, sister, how well have you Fusion with the inheritor?"

"20%!"

"Don't you possess any impressive skills?"

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips, threw the cleaver on the cutting board, spread her arms wide, a flame rose from her left hand and a ball of icy air rose from her right.

"See that? Magic!" Shen Qingyi said disappointedly, dispelling the magic in her hands.

"Sister, haven't you ever considered that Rong Nianbing is not just a cook, but also a powerful Magic Mage?"

"I've thought about it, but the Fusion level just won't go up. What can I do? Ten years have passed, and I'm only at 20%. I've given up."

How could Shen Qingyi not have thought of this? But thinking about it was useless. She had tried many methods, but the Fusion level just wouldn't improve. What could she do but give up?

"By the way, how well do you and your mentor Fusion?" Shen Qingyi asked in return.

"Ten percent!"

"What?" This time it was Shen Qingyi's turn to exclaim in surprise. 100%? Since the day there were Awakened, no one has ever achieved 100% Fusion with their inheritor.

"Do you even know what you're saying? Even the strongest Thor, Zhuo Wanling, only achieved 80% Fusion. I think you're asking for a beating, aren't you? Just how much is it?"

"It's absolutely true, why would I lie to you!"

Shen Qingyi stared at Ling Yi for a long time, and after confirming that Ling Yi was not lying, she immediately became excited.

"Then aren't you incredibly powerful now? A true Space Awakened! My god, are you even stronger than Thor?"

"Heh!" Ling Yi chuckled dismissively. "I don't know if that Thor is considered powerful, but he's definitely not as powerful as me."

"Yes, yes, you're the best!" Shen Qingyi naturally didn't believe it. A high degree of Fusion doesn't necessarily mean strength; it also depends on the upper limit of the inheritor's strength.

For example, even if a martial arts inheritor and a fantasy inheritor achieve a 100% Fusion rate, the martial arts inheritor is still not Li Qiang as a fantasy inheritor with a 30% Fusion rate.

"Sister, have you ever tried combining magic and cooking?" Ling Yi steered the conversation back on track, prompting her to ask.

"Hmm? Combining magic and cooking?"

"That's right, your mentor is a chef who can use magic. Haven't you ever thought about combining magic and cooking?"
