Xu Mengyao's eyes lit up with longing. "Honey, can we take our wedding photos in Yili? Please?"
Lin Chen smiled. "Of course! As soon as you have time, we can go anytime."
Xu Mengyao thought for a moment. "Let's wait about ten more days. Yili isn't at its most beautiful yet. In another ten to fifteen days, it should be perfect."
"I'll focus on wrapping up some company matters these days."
Lin Chen nodded.
He chuckled. "Then I can even improve my photography skills. I'll be able to take your solo shots by then."
Xu Mengyao: "Honey, there's something else. You promised Qianqian you'd build her a fairytale cottage. When will you start?"
"She should be over her cold by tomorrow, and all the materials should arrive then. I'll start right away."
Lin Chen smiled.
Xu Mengyao: "Should we send Qianqian to her grandparents'?"
Lin Chen shook his head.
"No need. Qianqian is very sensible and won't cause any trouble. Participating in the construction process will be a fun experience for her."
"Okay."
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
All the materials Lin Chen had ordered were delivered. Though he hadn't started building the fairy tale cottage yet, he knew exactly what it would require.
His construction skill had now reached the Grandmaster level!
With his expertise, he could even build skyscrapers without breaking a sweat!
"Daddy, what are these for?" Lin Xiaoqian asked, watching Lin Chen unpack the large boxes.
Lin Chen smiled. "Guess, Qianqian. They're related to you."
Lin Xiaoqian thought carefully and then exclaimed with delight, "I know! They're for building the little house, right?"
"That's right!"
"How about we build a little house for a dwarf?" Lin Chen teased.
Lin Xiaoqian shook her head vigorously. "No, Daddy, no! I don't want a dwarf's house, I want an elf's house. I'm a little elf, not a dwarf."
"Then you have to give me a kiss," Lin Chen said with a smile. "And you have to study hard and not cause any trouble."
Lin Chen was squatting down, so Lin Xiaoqian wrapped her arms around his head and planted a kiss on his cheek. "I'll be a good girl, Daddy."
"Then let's get started!"
"Here's the phone. You can take pictures to document our work. Make sure to get good shots—don't make Dad look bad, okay?"
Lin Chen said as he handed the phone to Lin Xiaoqian.
Soon, he began working, guiding her as he did. His instructions covered everything from how to build the house to how she should find the best angles for her photos.
After a few minutes, Lin Chen started gaining experience points, both for photography and construction.
By the end of the morning, his experience in both areas had increased by three hours. When Lin Xiaoqian woke up in the afternoon, they resumed their work with renewed enthusiasm.
In the evening, Xu Mengyao returned home and was astonished to find the fairy tale cottage nearly complete. The main structure would likely be finished by the next day.
"Honey, that was fast!" Xu Mengyao exclaimed.
"We've actually slowed down to accommodate the photographer," Lin Chen explained. "The materials were mostly custom-made and arrived pre-processed from the factory."
"Mommy, I'm the photographer!" Lin Xiaoqian piped up in her sweet, childish voice.
Xu Mengyao scooped her daughter into her arms. "Qianqian, are you happy that Daddy's building this fairy tale cottage with you?"
"Mmm-hmm!"
Lin Xiaoqian nodded vigorously.
Xu Mengyao smiled. "You're happy, and Dad has been working hard on this for you. What should we have for dinner tonight?"
Lin Xiaoqian looked at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled. "The rice is already cooked. I'll stir-fry a couple of dishes. We'll be eating dinner late these days. We need to focus on building the house during the day."
Construction was permitted from 2 PM to 6 PM each afternoon.
Lin Xiaoqian didn't wake up until nearly 3 PM.
This left only three hours of actual construction time in the afternoon.
Before they knew it, morning had arrived on the second day.
Host, your photography skill has advanced to Grandmaster level.
The System's voice echoed in Lin Chen's mind, and a flood of photography knowledge surged into his consciousness. A faint smile spread across his face.
Grandmaster level was excellent.
This skill level would be more than sufficient for taking photos of Xu Mengyao in the future.
In all of China, there were few photographers who had reached Grandmaster level.
"System, how much more time do I need to reach Grandmaster level in construction?" Lin Chen asked in his mind.
One and a half hours remain.
Before they knew it, afternoon had arrived. Only the final finishing touches remained on the main structure of the fairy tale house.
"Host, your Construction skill has reached Grandmaster level."
The System's notification finally rang out again.
A flood of construction information surged into Lin Chen's mind.
Using his Grandmaster-level expertise, Lin Chen inspected the fairy tale cottage. It was perfect. For such a simple structure, using Grandmaster-level skill was overkill—like using a bull to kill a chicken.
"Qianqian, what do you think?"
Lin Chen quickly finished the final touches.
Lin Xiaoqian carefully examined the cottage. "Daddy, it's not as pretty as the one you drew."
Before starting, Lin Chen had sketched a design. The cottage in the drawing was breathtakingly beautiful.
Lin Chen smiled. "It's not decorated yet. I'll paint some decorations on it later."
"It will be beautiful when it's completely finished!"
Lin Xiaoqian nodded repeatedly.
*Knock, knock!*
Someone knocked on the bedroom door. When Lin Chen opened it, a worker said, "Mr. Lin, the door and windows have been replaced."
"The bookshelf is installed too."
Lin Chen went to the study. The door looked ordinary and opened easily, but it now possessed blast-proof capabilities.
The original bed in the study had been removed.
A large new bookshelf had been installed, capable of holding far more books than the old one.
"Mr. Lin, slide open this panel. You can register your fingerprints and iris here. Please do so now."
"Only you will be able to open it in the future."
The lead worker explained.
Lin Chen quickly registered his fingerprints and iris.
"We're leaving now, Mr. Lin."
"Alright."
The workers left quickly. Lin Xiaoqian asked curiously, "Daddy, why did we replace the old door?"
Lin Chen kissed her cheek. "Qianqian, because this new door is much safer. If any bad guys ever come to our house, you can hide in this room."
"Do you understand?"
Lin Xiaoqian nodded vaguely.
"Let's go. Daddy will take you out to play."
"You've been cooped up inside for days; you must be going stir-crazy."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoqian's eyes lit up. "Daddy, I want to go to the amusement park!"
"We can go to the amusement park, Qianqian, but if we do, we'll have to eat dinner outside."
Lin Xiaoqian hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Daddy, the food outside isn't as good, but I won't be a picky eater."
"Then let's go!"
Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoqian set off quickly.
Two hours passed.
"Host, your Wall-Leaping skill has reached Grandmaster level."
The System's voice echoed in Lin Chen's mind.
Lin Chen's eyes lit up.
Finally, it's Grandmaster level. That wasn't easy.
It took twenty hours to reach Grandmaster level in Wall-Leaping!
A flood of information surged into Lin Chen's mind.
The muscle meridians in his legs underwent subtle changes.
"System, I now have internal energy and my Wall-Leaping skill is Grandmaster level. Can I finally use Wall-Leaping now?" Lin Chen asked mentally.
"Host, you can now perform standard Wall-Leaping."
A faint smile spread across Lin Chen's face.
With Grandmaster-level Wall-Leaping, he was much safer.
In complex terrain, enemies would struggle to track him. Even on flat ground, his agility would be significantly enhanced.
