Chapter Five Entering the Learning Space

  Entertaining his mother-in-law, Lin Yixuan naturally put in a lot of effort. Although this mother-in-law was only temporary, Lin Yixuan still decided to do it wholeheartedly. In fact, Lin Yixuan had ideas about Shangguan Xueyan, after all, the two were nominally married, and if he could get close to her, wouldn't it be better to hold onto a beautiful woman?

  Of course, that's what Lin Yixuan thought. With Shangguan Xueyan being like that, one look and you'd know she's not worth pursuing. Otherwise, she wouldn't have found someone to fake marry and deceive her own mother.

  At around noon, Lin Yixuan finally prepared a table of dishes, with a total of twelve dishes. Because Lin Yixuan didn't know the tastes of Shangguan Xueyan and her mother, the twelve dishes also had different flavors.

  Lin Yixuan was just ready when he heard the sound of opening the door, and Shangguan Xueyan entered first. She was carrying a small suitcase in her hand, and behind her was a beautiful young woman with a noble and elegant temperament. The young woman wore a purple lace dress that outlined her slender and plump figure, adding a few more mature charms to her.

  The beautiful woman standing behind Shangguan Xueyan was Lin Yuxuan's mother, Shangguan Mingyue. Lin Yuxuan had met her once before, and to be honest, he couldn't believe that the mature and beautiful woman was actually Shangguan Xueyan's mother. At first glance, Lin Yuxuan even thought she was Shangguan Xueyan's older sister.

  Although Shangguan Mingyue's appearance is slightly inferior to that of Shangguan Xueyan, she has a mature charm that the latter does not possess, giving them each their own unique appeal.

  "Yi Xuan, I'm back with mom, is dinner ready?" Shang Guan Xue Yan said as soon as she entered the house, rushing towards Lin Yi Xuan. Although her face still had a hint of coldness, her tone was much more intimate, which made Lin Yi Xuan's heart tremble slightly.

  But Lin Yixuan immediately understood that Shangguan Xueyan was doing it for Shangguan Mingyue, and quickly composed himself before walking forward to greet Shangguan Mingyue with a smile: "Mom, you're here. Dinner is ready. I rushed to prepare it, not sure if it suits your taste."

  "What's with the politeness? Xue Xuan was already praising your cooking skills at the airport, let me have a good taste." Shangguan Mingyue smiled coquettishly, her every move having an indescribable charm.

  "You'd better taste the dishes I've made, they're all ready and can be eaten soon." Lin Yixuan said with a smile, while secretly thinking that Shangguan Xueyan must have boasted about his cooking skills in front of Shangguan Mingyue, otherwise she wouldn't look so expectant.

  Shangguan Mingyue hastily entered the dining hall after hearing Lin Yuxuan's words, while Shangguan Xueyan whispered to Lin Yuxuan after Shangguan Mingyue left: "Later at my mom's place, don't make a fool of yourself."

  "Don't worry, I guarantee it won't be exposed." Lin Yixuan smiled lightly and assured.

  At this time, Shangguan Mingyue walked out of the guest dining hall again, with a light smile on her face, and said to Shangguan Xueyan: "Xueyan, Yixuan has made many dishes, they all smell very good, you will have a great fortune in food from now on."

  "Mother, if you like it here, why don't we stay for a few more days and let Yixuan cook some more dishes for you?" Shangguan Xue smiled sweetly at Shangguan Mingyue.

  "Hmm, that's fine too. I'll have to trouble you with this, Yixuan." Officer Mingyue nodded in agreement and then looked at Lin Yixuan with a hint of flirtation.

  "No trouble, I'd be happy to cook for you." Lin Yixuan said with a light smile, but in his heart he was secretly worried. He hadn't expected that Shangguan Xueyan's filial piety would be so great, and as long as her mother was happy, she had actually kept Shangguan Mingyue behind. Didn't she know that the longer they spent together, the greater the danger of being discovered? Never mind, he could only take things one step at a time and be more careful.

  Just as Lin Yixuan was thinking quietly, he unknowingly arrived at the restaurant. Shangguan Xueyan saw the full table of dishes and couldn't help but be surprised - did Lin Yixuan do this? Although she told Lin Yixuan to prepare lunch, she didn't expect him to make so many dishes.

  Actually, Shangguan Xueyan didn't know that if there was enough time, Lin Yixuan really wanted to make a few more dishes to entertain his beautiful mother-in-law.

  "It's really good, not a bit worse than a five-star restaurant." Shangguan Mingyue praised Lin Yixuan after taking a bite of the dish.

  "You'd better eat more, I don't know your taste, so I made a lot of dishes with different flavors. Try them and see if you like any of them, I'll make it for you next time." Lin Yixuan smiled lightly, and he also gladly accepted the praise from Shangguan Mingyue. Although his cooking skills were only at a high level, in the Ling Tian Dream Space, Lin Yixuan's craftsmanship had already reached the master level in reality.

  Shangguan Xueyan and Shangguan Mingyue both loved the dishes made by Lin Yixuan, which made Lin Yixuan very happy. He never thought that Shangguan Xueyan, who seemed to be detached from worldly pleasures, would have such a strong liking for delicious food.

  "By the way, Yixuan, are you spending more time at school or at the company these days?" Suddenly asked by Shangguan Mingyue during dinner.

  Lin Yixuan was taken aback, and instinctively looked up at Shangguan Xueyan, just in time to see her giving him a signal. He smiled faintly and said, "Usually I'm at school, and only go to the company when needed." This was the excuse that Shangguan Xueyan had prepared for him.

  "That's right, although you're very smart, don't waste your studies, the college entrance exam is coming soon, which university are you preparing to take?" Shangguan Mingyue asked Lin Yixuan again.

  Lin Yixuan was somewhat at a loss for words, his academic performance was indeed poor to the extreme, and it would be very difficult to get into college. However, he couldn't say that truthfully, so he vaguely said: "It's not certain yet, there are some places I want to go to, but I haven't made up my mind."

  "I recommend you to go to Huaxia University, where you can learn a lot of useful knowledge." Shangguan Mingyue smiled lightly, seemingly not worried at all about whether Lin Yixuan could get into Huaxia University.

  Lin Yixuan's heart completely cooled down, memories of Huaxia University appeared in Lin Yixuan's mind. Huaxia University did not exist in his previous world, it was a world-renowned school, just like Harvard in his past life. He never thought that this world's Huaxia would have such a university, being world-renowned also meant that getting in was extremely difficult, he basically had no chance.

  Lin Yixuan secretly glanced at Shangguan Xueyan and thought to himself, "What a fake genius, just wait until after the college entrance exams, everything will be exposed."

  "Mother, let Yixuan decide for himself, I'm sure he has his own plans." Shangguan Xueyan smiled lightly and changed the subject.

  The meal was quickly finished, and nearly half of the dishes made by Lin Yixuan were destroyed, which couldn't help but make Lin Yixuan sigh.

  After lunch, Shangguan Xueyan and Shangguan Mingyue went upstairs to pack their luggage. Later, the two women were talking about something in there, but Lin Yuxuan was not mentioned at all.

  Lin Yixuan naturally enjoyed the leisure, sitting on the sofa, Lin Yixuan closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but in fact, his mind had entered the Ling Tian Dream Space, then entered the study space. Now, Lin Yixuan just wanted to speed up the increase of energy points.

  This time, Lin Yixuan did not go to learn those three skills that he had already learned, but instead chose the fighting skill.

  As for why he chose to practice martial arts, it was because Lin Yixuan had discovered that when he fought with that little rascal earlier, he relied entirely on his incredible reaction ability and vector operation assistance, but he knew nothing about actual combat, so Lin Yixuan wanted to practice martial arts to enhance his strength.

  After selecting the fighting style, Xue Er's voice suddenly appeared beside Lin Yi Xuan's ear: "Fighting skill has been selected, Master's body is being pulled into space."

  "What? You want to pull my body in?" Lin Yixuan was shocked, if he had vanished into thin air, it would be strange if Shangguan Xueyan didn't get angry.

  "Don't worry, master. The outside world will keep your virtual body intact and no one will notice anything unusual. Moreover, combat skills must be learned by your own body personally, otherwise if you only learn with your consciousness, your body won't be able to keep up with the reactions of your consciousness." Xue'er explained slowly.

  Lin Yixuan nodded, since he wouldn't appear unexpectedly, he felt at ease. His true form entering actually made Lin Yixuan a bit curious.

  In a flash of change before his eyes, Lin Yixuan found himself entering a space that seemed to be a martial arts hall, with exercise equipment placed all over the place.

  Then, a white light flashed before Lin Yixuan's eyes, and after a moment, a robust man walked out of the light. Seeing Lin Yixuan, he said directly: "Learning martial arts under me requires endurance. I won't go easy on you in my teaching. I hope you can persist."

  "I'll definitely be able to hold on." Lin Yixuan nodded in guarantee.

  But soon Lin Yixuan regretted his guarantee, because he neglected a very important thing, that is, learning martial arts requires good physical strength, and his physical strength was not even comparable to that of a girl. Learning this martial art was also very hard for him, and in just a short while, Lin Yixuan felt his whole body sore and numb, as if he was about to die.

  But thinking of his previous promise, Lin Yixuan did not give up and continued to persist until he felt dizzy.

  "Master, Xue'er has some suggestions for you." Just then, Xue'er spoke again.

  "What advice?" Lin Yixuan asked.

  "Better to focus on lottery in the early stage, don't rush to open the exchange space yet." Xue'er suggested.

  "Why?" Lin Yixuan was somewhat puzzled. He had been looking forward to the opening of the exchange space, so he could exchange for things inside.

  "After the exchange space is opened, you also need a lot of energy points to exchange items, but with your current speed of earning energy points, it's like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water. So in the early stages, you should use your energy points for lottery draws. The Super Lucky Draw usually yields pretty good abilities. Once you've reached a certain level of self-protection ability, you can enter the trial space. Only in the trial space can you obtain a large number of energy points." Xue Er slowly explained to Lin Yi Xuan.

  Lin Yixuan finally understood that in order to get energy points, the trial space was the real place, and the energy points given by the learning space were just some small benefits.

  "What is this trial space exactly? What kind of strength do I need to have in order to enter?" Lin Yixuan spoke out the doubts in his heart.

  "The trial space is built based on all the fantasies that exist in the world, like the world of movies, the world of anime, and so on. As long as someone can think of it, the trial space can be constructed." Xue Er said slowly.

  "Isn't that just like infinite space?" Lin Yixuan said in surprise.

  "It's not the same, after all, the trial space is formed for the master to try out, so even if it's a familiar story world, after its formation, many changes will appear, and many of them are already different from what you know. Even the plot may change, so being familiar with the plot won't be of much help in the trial. Everything still depends on your own strength, Master." Xue'er explained again.
