Chapter 7: Lifting Mountains, Lin Daiyu!
“When a new Lord first descends into the Boundless Void, they automatically enter the ‘Newcomer Trial’ period. This is the Void’s ‘reward’ for new entrants!”
“As long as you survive for 30 days, you’ll receive rewards from the Void. The better your performance during these 30 days, the better the rewards!”
“For ordinary people, the Newcomer Trial is often a golden opportunity to leap ahead!”
“But with such strict limitations on the trial, aren’t World Artifacts supposed to have their functions temporarily blocked?”
Wu Chi’s heart raced with excitement.
This cheat seemed to be overpowered!
“If that’s the case, surviving 30 days won’t be hard. I might even achieve an exceptional result!”
After a brief moment of thought, Wu Chi turned to the [Altar] attribute panel and decisively tapped the plus sign.
In an instant, the ancient and worn altar was enveloped in radiant five-colored divine light!
This was the ability of the [Mechanical Kidney]. Wu Chi quickly jumped back to avoid the transformation process.
Turning to look, he saw the divine light fade rapidly, revealing a red two-story building. It had red curtains, wooden staircases, and a plaque with five large characters in ancient script:
“Jinling Twelve Beauties!”
“This is...”
Wu Chi’s face grew odd, a memory from his past life surfacing.
After a moment of contemplation, he opened the attribute panel of the new building.
...

“Red Chamber, Jinling Twelve Beauties... Could it really be...?”
“But even if it’s the characters from that novel, how could they possibly help me?”
“Lin Daiyu, a mere being of grass and wood, greets the young master.”
“What the... It really is Lin Daiyu!”
Wu Chi’s face twitched, his expression a mix of emotions.
Lin Daiyu, famously known as the “Sickly Xi Shi,” was a character renowned for her delicate beauty. Nicknamed the “Crimson Pearl Fairy” and the “Mist Fairy,” she was intelligent and artistic.
But the problem was...
She was frail, unable to lift even a goose, let alone fight Void monsters!
“This is a disaster!”
Wu Chi’s confidence wavered.
Just then, Lin Daiyu noticed the look on Wu Chi’s face and softly asked, “Does the young master know of me?”
“I... know a little.” Wu Chi sighed.
“A jade belt hangs in the woods, a golden hairpin buried in the snow.”
He recalled the tragic fates of the Twelve Beauties, none of whom had a happy ending.
Lin Daiyu herself had cried to death from heartbreak—a fate nothing short of miserable.
“It seems the young master is aware of my past,” Lin Daiyu said softly. “After my death, I realized life in the Jia Mansion was worse than death. Now that I have a second chance, I feel much more at peace.”
Her words carried a trace of gratitude, mistaking Wu Chi’s expression for sympathy toward her tragic life.
Little did she know...
“This is ridiculous! Lin Daiyu’s combat ability is weaker than a goose! How am I supposed to fight monsters with her?!”
Wu Chi was inwardly screaming. After hesitating for a moment, he opened Lin Daiyu’s attribute panel.
What he saw left him utterly dumbfounded.
