"Affirmative, host. A master chef is the last skill level in the Ultimate Cooking System."
"Good. Inject it in!" Rake imagined that he was a balloon about to be introduced with air.
"Affirmative, host." The system responded and the knowledge flowed in like water.
Chapter 6
Myriad of cooking skills and recipes were digested into the mind of Rake. He felt a state of being one with the void and had totally forgotten about himself.
What mattered most were the essences that hammered down his brain and flooded them completely with new information.
Rake felt the passing of indeterminable time yet what had actuality passed in reality was but mere breaths.
"Well, that made me hungry as fuck." Rake muttered audibly and combed the memory that was missing a few seconds before.
"Now what to buy next?" he whispered later on. Rake roamed his eyes on his restaurant and it felt very constricting. It only gave him a space of five square feet and a bit of change.
How can a master chef cook in this tiny dwelling suited for dwarves? There wasn't even sizable corner for the cooking area much less a seat for his customers in the future.
"I want an upgrade on my store." Rake announced out loud.
"Affirmative, host. Do you want to spend your remaining shop points for the purchase?" the system responded.
"How much can i afford at the moment?"
"There's a place configuration priced at 950,000 shop points, host. Do you want to buy it?"
"Perhaps." Rake paused to think about the rest of his task at hand. It did not take him a minute of ask another one of his queries.
"How about the materials i need for cooking? Are all of those for free?"
"Affirmative, host. The system will provide you with all the necessary equipment in order to fully facilitate the advent of the Ultimate Cooking System Restaurant in this world."
"Even the raw items such as meat and rice?"
"Affirmative, host."
"Salt and pepper?"
"Affirmative, host." It was at this time that Rake finally calmed down after taking a chest heaving breath.
"Okay then. Make this trashy room turn into a new kingdom of food and spices!" Rake tried to be poetic but only invited an audible cough from behind him.
If he did know any better, then he would have realized that it was Lilith's mockery of the grand delusion that he was weaving. Fortunately, Rake was left unawares and that was what made all the difference.
"FLASH!" the scene coated in white mist and before Rake could ever take another breath, the place has now entirely transformed into a grand display of extravagance.
The area was huge and immaculate.
The floors did not shine one shade as all that would touch the feet of its occupants was the soft furs of divine beasts.
The coated scenery did not possess a single dull hue but complimented its design with a mixture of light colors that brought life and comfort to anyone who would gaze at this epic marvel.
Alongside the rare furniture were the uniformly arranged chairs, tables and wares.
And to top that, the atmosphere of the eatery even had a peculiar sweet fragrance that would defy anything he'd ever smelled before.
Even more alluring than the fresh smell of his newly bathed girlfriend. It was definitely a masterpiece through and through.
"Am i dreaming?" Rake bit his lips as he scoured the whole structure with his eyes. He felt pain and was both gladdened and saddened at the realization.
"How many floors does this building have?" he intoned in a soft gentle speech, as if afraid to disturb the slumbering immortal who was the true owner of this domain of fantasy.
"The upper decks are infinite, host."
"Magical!" Rake exclaimed and was about to step on the stairs to see beyond the veils of the current partition.
Yet he decided to retrace his steps back, pass the still seated beautiful goddess and through the gigantic golden doors of the palace.
Yes, the place was indeed worthy to be called as that. A palace fit for kings and rulers alike.
"Absolutely magical." Rake whispered once he got out.
The same shabby crumbling wooden structure affronted his eyes and he could not believe the contrast of two worlds opposite the door before him.
"Can i buy a new body from the system?" these were Rake's words when he reentered his domain.
"Affirmative, host. A body would cost you 30,000 shop points. The perks include changing its appearance at will and you could also alter the proportions on any body part."
"Very nice. Give it to me and thank you so much for choosing me as your host. Please tell your master that i would make him witness a movie for the ages!" said Rake.
"Affirmative, host."
Chapter 7
"What have i gotten myself into?" Rake asked himself after he used 15,000 shop points to buy a service crew for his diner.
His eyes wandered and he witnessed dozens of delicious women idling about his divine restaurant. A hundred and one of them to be exact.
What was curious was how nobody even gave him a few interested stares as the collection of succubi was content on ignoring him from the onset up to this very moment.
"Can i wipe out their memories or something and let them be docile subservient dolls in my front?" Rake finally asked for a life line.
"Affirmative, host. They are your properties and slaves right now. You could do anything you want with them."
"But that would be bad, right?" Rake's conscience knocked some sense into his brain. He pondered about this for a while and concluded that controlling a person's will was definitely not good.
So in the end, he could only sigh and lament at his fate.
"All of you come here." Rake whispered.
"Tap!"
"TAP."
"TAP!" The shuffling of feet echoed and together with its advent came the hushed sounds that was clearly audible towards the object of their words.

The sky seems to glow a beautiful blue as the soft summer sun smiles down at everyone. Fluffy white clouds as pale as snow float along the heavens when the gentle breeze calls to them. Birds of prey soar overhead with nothing in the way to stop them. The tops of trees sway happily, their gorgeous green leaves standing with pride in-between the sprinkles of pink blossoms. Down their dark brown trunks go, vines weaving around them, until they blend into the dry dirt underneath.
Bright green grass glistens in neat circles around gravel paths. Wooden benches are dotted all around in seemingly random places, mostly being occupied by birds, bees and butterflies who perch wherever they can as they flutter around vibrant flower beds. Red roses are blooming, yellow tulips are shimmering and pink foxgloves are beckoning fairies. When working together, they create a park that feels completely magical!
Sickly sweet scents float off of the flowers; their pollen causes people passing by to persistently sneeze. From the distance the smell of a smoky barbecue is wafting over (making children feel hungrier than they already were). Stands selling sour lemonade and sugary snacks wait eagerly for exhausted walkers to buy their goods.
Kids holler at each other as they bounce around the playground – this will be one of their favourite days of the year. Dogs chase after tennis balls as madly as cheetahs chase after their prey. Runners whizz by, their audible panting frightening lonely rabbits hiding unseen in bushes. Quietly, many couples talk under the protection of weeping willows or sit on cute picnic blankets in the middle of the grass. The whole commotion is swept into a wonderful form of music. As the breeze picks up, the top of the trees begin to sway again while enjoying the magnificent scene below.

Random short stories about different adventures in a variety of places, times and situations, from the perspective of a time travelling immortal.

"Great speech." I gave Lucas a toothy grin.
He snorted. "Of course."
"She had hearts in her eyes when she looked at you on stage." I said.
Lucas frowned. "Who?"
"You know… That girl earlier." I snickered.
[H-host is seeking death!!!]
Lucas snorted again. "Hmph. I clearly stated that I won't give myself as gratitude. Even if the Li family did donate a valuable jewel in tonight's auction, I definitely wouldn't."
"Oh? They donated?"
"A rare jewel. It's one of the heirlooms of the Li's."
"Huh. Then why did they donate that?"
"Who knows." Lucas shrugged. "I also had my suspicions and had it appraised. Result was, it's definitely real. Worth millions in USD."
"Hmmm…" I paused to think.
The Li's are definitely up to something.
"But I was serious when I said that little girl had hearts in her eyes." I diverted the topic back to that again.
"I already announced that I definitely have no intentions on entertaining personal interests in me."
"But I think that girl wasn't able to hear it."
Lucas looked at me with an unsaid question: why?
"She was staring at you alright. But I don't think she had listened to a word you said. She was staring at you like a hungry beast waiting to devour a tasty treat in front with nothing else in mind."
"Who cares about her. She can dream on, but nothing will ever come between us."
I blinked several times. "What do you mean?"
Lucas merely smiled at me.
Are you admitting our relationship? That there really is something more between us?
"System, favorability check." I communicated to the system.
"Lucas Zhao favorability: 90."
My eyebrows jumped in surprise. When did this happen?
Unsure of when, I asked the system directly.
"Lucas Zhao's favorability of host was actually fluctuating over the past few days between 80 to 90. Because of the fluctuations and instability, this system didn't inform host."
"So you're saying 90 is not solidified?"
"That may be so, host. This system could not say whether it'll move up and down again. But for now, at this moment, host's favorability is really 90."
"I see."
Lucas must be conflicted on how he feels right now.
"Next item for auction is a valuable jewel that has been passed on in the prestigious Li family for several decades. One of the rarest jewels in the world, a big blue diamond, the Blue Mermaid."
This made me snap out of my thoughts and turn my attention to the auction.
The assistant then brought in the diamond, and audible gasps from the audience can be heard.
When I gazed at the diamond, even my eyes shone a little. Which woman doesn't like sparkly jewels?
Lucas must have seen the sparkle in my eyes as he asked, "You want it?"
I suppressed my enthusiasm when I looked at him.
"Why would I?"
"If you want it, I'll buy it for you. But if you insist that you don't want it…" He trailed off.
"Would you really buy it for me?" I couldn't suppress my excitement anymore.
"Do you want it?"
This time, I nodded with all my might.
Lucas chuckled. "I didn't know you like these things. If I had known earlier, I would have bought you some."
"Don't misunderstand. I don't want just any jewel. I want rare ones."
I have formed the habit of collecting such jewels over the decades I spent in the previous world. I was idle there, but in this world I had many things and catching up to do, so I didn't have time to look for such jewels. Besides, these things were presented to me before, so I'm not really sure how to look for them.
But seeing one in person ignited my greed for such things again.
"Is that so. Okay, I'll buy that for you." Lucas said as he readied his auction paddle.
"Really? Yay!"
"Gold-digger."
"It's true that I like gold too, but I'm more of a jewel fan." I gave him a toothy grin once more.

Lost memories, forgotten identity, and a system that grants wishes.

Alina woke up in a pure white space, not remembering anything, even her own name. A furry white ball appears in front of her and calls itself a system, saying it can grant her wish.

"I-I wish to remember myself."
《Very well. Host's wish configured. At the end of the tasks, Host 069 can remember herself.》
"T-thank you. B-by tasks, what are they?"
《Collect male essence.》

Alina is then made to wander worlds, experiencing different lifetimes, accomplishing missions, one "course" at a time.

Little did she know, she was not alone in her journey.
A certain male lead: "We'll meet again... Alina."


===============

Caution: Mature content. There are some scenes you may not be able to stomach. Also, romance is slow. You may not even be able to notice it much in the early arcs.
The story starts out with smut in the early chapters, but there's still a proper storyline. The story may be smut-centric, maybe not.

For those who are unaware, quick transmigration is basically the concept of world-hopping. The MC travels different worlds with different plots, characters and settings (separated by arc), accomplishing different missions in each world.

Arcs in this story are listed in an auxiliary chapter. Arcs can be read separately, since they follow different plots.

Myriad of cooking skills and recipes were digested into the mind of Rake. He felt a state of being one with the void and had totally forgotten about himself.
What mattered most were the essences that hammered down his brain and flooded them completely with new information. 
Rake felt the passing of indeterminable time yet what had actuality passed in reality was but mere breaths.

"Wake up," Leon said. "It's already noon."
"No," Jay said covering his head in his blankets. 
"Ow, I hit my elbow on the wall!" 
"Insane bro let's get going." Leon kicked his other elbow. 
Jay seemed to have heard Valor's pain and got up, as he was already in his cloak when Leon looked back at him, "Well then… should we get going." 
Valor stood up and kicked Leon's shin, "That's for my other elbow!" 
"Funny mans. Come on we gotta go back to the guild hall." Leon scowled.
"Mens," Jay corrects as he walks out 
"Can't we just go on another adventure? We got all that we needed already." Valor suggested. 
"It would be nice if those girls joined our party."
"Definitely, but still we can survive on our own for a bit." 
"They probably left by now if we're late." Valor started to go back to sleep.
Leon pulled up Valor saying, "No, we have to leave now anyways."
"Fine, but you have to buy me some steak." 
"No, we can have a small breakfast, but steak is kinda expensive if you haven't noticed,"
"Do we have all the right supplies for the trip? Like enough food?"
"We'll manage," Valor butted in.
"Ok so I'm going to get enough food for 5 people for a week, just in case," Jay says as the other 2 enters the guild hall. "I'm going to go buy food, you guys get some breakfast," leaving the other two to do whatever.
"Cmon, let's go meet up with them," Leon said. 
"How about you stay there and I'll order breakfast," Valor says as he goes to the tavern. "Want anything"
"You know what, screw it let's just go together. This way they know we worth waiting for."
"Damn straight!" They high-fived and left to order. The two finished eating after a while.
"Well that was a nice lunch now." 
"I'm completely stuffed. It's time to head out to see if the girls will join us." 
Leon saw the two by the entrance talking to Jay.
"Well you guys took your time, I've been here for like 5 minutes talking to these two," Jay says pointing at Eunice and Daisy. 
"Well we had some time and there was just so much amazing food." Valor patted his stomach. 
"You could've joined us?"
"Not really, they don't exactly have parking for horses and caravans. I'm broke now, but hey that's fine… How much money do you guys have left now?"  
"*Cough*...funny story man...uh we kind of… we were very hungry, so….we kind of spent it all on the food." Valor turned away from Jay.
"Treat ourselves that's the motto we live by." Leon nodded.
With an audible facepalm, Jay looked over to the girls, "Maybe you should rethink your idea of joining us."
"Uhhh… I think we can make more money in the next town," Daisy says.
"Wow she's super smart!" Valor pointed at her.
"So what's our next goal." Leon asked.
"Well I was hoping to head to Megali Ville, there's someone I have to meet there."  Eunice says, hoping into the back of the caravan.
"Sounds good to me," as he entered the back of the caravan, he noticed it was big enough to fit all of them if they wanted to, but due to the food, they couldn't all lay down comfortably. 
"I want to ride a horse." 
"Val I trust you. Trust that you'll drive us off a cliff, so that's why I'm driving," Valor reluctantly got into the caravan. 
As they drove out of time

An unfortunate turn of events leads three strangers to form a party, as they are being hunted. They roam seeking adventure wherever they go.



A story with some people I know.
Check out: PandazLB89, LogBot (has one chapter, but maybe he'll post more)

Yan Qingsi stopped and turned to look at the reporter who asked the question. He was a bespectacled man. He looked so ordinary he seemed like any other person on the street, but the question he asked was sharp and direct. 
"Other actors, they have to play as extras for ten years before they get a role. You, however, Ms Yan, just returned from overseas and you've got all these opportunities. It's irregular, no?" 
He stared at Yan Qingsi, as though he were saying, 'Just own up, you're relying on sexual favors to get all this.'
Yue Tingfeng glared at him coldly. Media journalists were at times extremely unlikeable. Public opinion was the most effective weapon at harming people. 
If he were to dare to assault a journalist here, tomorrow there would be thousands of anonymous people attacking Yan Qingsi. 
Yan Qingsi smiled, "What does my abundance of resources got to do with you? If it has bedazzled you till you're blinded, then just stay blind." 
"If sleeping with my boyfriend, spending his money, can be called relying on a rich person, then yes, I admit it all." 
There was an audible sigh from the crowd-- Yan Qingsi had just admitted to having a boyfriend, and from the looks of it, he had a lot to give. 
Yue Tingfeng squeezed Yan Qingsi's hand tightly. Hearing her say it herself, why did it make him feel so happy? 
If he were not wearing a hat, sunglasses and face mask, it would be perfect. 
What was he to do? He really wanted to kiss her. 
The journalist, who was waiting to see Yan Qingsi forget herself, now wore a shocked look on his face. "Ms Yan, you admit that you're dating?" 
"Of course I'm dating. I've been dating ever since I returned to the country, everyone can date, so why not me? Not only have I been in a relationship, but it's also only ever been with one person, and I've never changed." 
Yue Tingfeng's heart was about to burst, he really wanted to kiss her, what was he to do? 
"But online there have been rumors that you've been a mistress, stealing away other people's boyfriends-- what do you have to say to that?" 
Yan Qingsi glanced over the reporters. "The rumors online also says that I'm a fox spirit, why don't you splash the blood of a black dog on me and see if I transform? My boyfriend found me those opportunities, and spent money for me to invest, is that wrong? He's my man, is he not supposed to do something for me? In a normal relationship, the man has to buy the woman bags and clothes, but when it's me, that's not okay?" 
The moment Yan Qingsi opened her mouth, all the journalists had nothing to say. The female journalists started to think that Yan Qingsi had a point. 
In a relationship, to let your boyfriend buy you things, isn't that normal? 
That male reporter was not about to let Yan Qingsi off the hook that easily, and asked again, "Ms Yan you said you have a boyfriend, then please, where is your boyfriend? Or is he just a fiction you created to pull the wool over our eyes?" 
This question was undeniably disgusting, but Yan Qingsi just chuckled. "You must be blind, if he wasn't my boyfriend would he be holding me this tightly?" 
Everyone around them was stunned, and only then looked at Yue Tingfeng. He was tall, and was disguised extensively, but… he had a good figure and very beautiful hands. 
More importantly, the watch on his wrist. That watch… God d*mn, he was wearing a villa in Tian Hai City on his wrist, and that wrinkled shirt, leather shoes… d*mn, he was rich. 
The crowd's cameras were now pointed at Yue Tingfeng, shutters clicking incessantly. 
Yue Tingfeng felt as though he might be floating in the air even though his face was obscured. However, for his existence to be acknowledged by the public, this feeling was wonderful. He wanted to kiss her more then. 
Yan Qingsi looked up at Yue Tingfeng, tiptoed, and kissed him through the face mask. 
This was her boyfriend, in all these years, her one and only man. 


Yan Qingsi was a woman so captivating that she could change the lives of anyone she crossed paths with. Shunned, shamed, and abused by her family, they wanted nothing more than to see her turn up dead. She had other plans though — she was determined to exact revenge on all who have wronged her, and her main target was her own blood. The first step in her quest for revenge? Seducing Yue Tingfeng — the richest, handsomest man in Luo City, who also happened to be her aunt's fiancé. Vengeance aside, she also seeks a change of fortune by pursuing a career in acting. Throughout Yan Qingsi's journey, there will be murders and mayhem aplenty as she paves her way to movie stardom while eliminating her enemies one after the other!

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.


Relating to Episodes 16 and 17 of Love O2O
A/N: The dialogue in this section comes from the series. Also; my technological abilities are severely limited (seriously. You're lucky I can manage this much!) so if I describe any of the computer stuff incorrectly then please bear with me. Or Tell me what should have been and I'll change it. I'm basing everything off the info in the series and what it looks like they're doing. You know that saying "fake it till you make it?" I'm adept at the first half. 


<<Welcome. Thanks for coming. Forgive me for not welcoming you in.>>

<<Who are you? You're not him.>>

<<Who is him?>>

<<Stop pretending.>>

<<You do know us quite well.>

<<I have no bad intentions.>>

    Hao Mei stared at the conversation on his screen before realising what had happened. Grabbing his laptop, he ran into Xiao Nai's office, his haste drawing the attention of Yu Ban Shan and Qui Yong Hou who followed behind. 

    "What's going on? Is that guy here again?" Frazzled, he handed his laptop over to Xiao Nai and ran to read the screen that Xiao Nai had been typing on. 

    Taking Mei's laptop, Xiao Nai instructed him to buy them some time to run a trace via the hacker's link with Hao Mei's account. Furious, Hao Mei took control of the keyboard.

<<No bad intentions my ass! Is my computer your home? Why did you change my desktop wallpaper? Are you here to hack my goddess?>>

    Behind him, Yu Ban Shan sighed. "Mei, that's not the point."

    Oh. Mei paused for a moment before continuing. No self respecting hacker would reveal their motive at the first moment; this wasn't a Korean drama, and Laosan had told him to buy them some time... wasting time was one thing Mei was extremely good at. 

<<Even if you're here to hack my goddess, you don't have to hack her fan's computer. Do you hate her fans that much?>>

    The eye rolling in the room was almost audible and Mei determined not to look at either Qui Yong Hou or Yu Ban Shan. For the rest of the year, if he could help it. 

<<It's not because of that.>>

<<What is the reason then? You know who I am?>>

    Qui Yong Hou leaned over Xiao Nai's shoulder. "Did you track the hacker?"

    "He's near our school."

    All three gathered behind Xiao Nai in time to watch his trace connect to the camera of the hacker's computer. Only the hacker's torso, in a uniformed black and white, was visible as he stood and closed the laptop he had been working at. Hao Mei looked back at the computer he'd been talking to the hacker on. 

    "I just asked him if he knows me. He logged off right away. Could he really be someone I know?" 

    "I didn't get to see his face." Xiao Nai stared at the laptop a moment longer, his eyebrows drawn down in contemplation. Hao Mei eyed him suspiciously. Laosan never said what he didn't mean... but he also had a tendency to speak in layers. Just because he hadn't seen the hacker's face didn't mean he was completely stumped as to his identity. 

    "This hacker even has a part-time job." Yu Ban Shan seemed appalled that a hacker would need some form of income but Hao Mei wondered if that was what Xiao Nai had alluded to. He sighed. All he'd seen in the background was hints of the type of restaurant that could be found all over Beijing. Just like the one that KO worked at. Which reminded him; he forgot to text KO that he wasn't going to be able to meet him last night! 

    "This is so creepy. Too creepy! No... I have to eat a big dinner to comfort my wounded heart. Laosan, I'm going to take off." He collected his laptop and headed back to his desk. Tonight. He would definitely make it there tonight. He didn't bother to text KO before leaving the office; he'd see him soon enough.

A Hao Mei and KO fan fiction based on both the novel and the series; "Love O2O / Just One Smile is Very Alluring"; novel by Gu Man and series directed by Lin Yufen. I will also be referencing "Lets eat, Shan Shan" also by Gu Man. 
Parts of this fanfiction will be pulled directly from the series and while I'll make a note whenever I use the direct dialogue from the series, hopefully I'll be able to maintain similar dynamics so that those passages don't stand out too much from the rest of the story that I am writing. 
I do not own any of the characters from the novels or series and even though I will be adding OC's they won't be in a significant position, acting more as filler characters than plot drivers. If this changes then I will update this description and make a note at the beginning of the chapter. 
I do not know Chinese in anyway so have relied on the translations of others to be able to enjoy these stories. I've noticed that many translators will sometimes use Chinese expressions rather than translating them entirely to English and I have really enjoyed the effect that this has one the story so will be attempting to do something similar myself. Unfortunately, because I don't know the language, I won't be able to provide the detailed A/N that they do... so if something I've included doesn't have a translation then please go and read their translations; show them some love and hopefully enjoy the experience as much as I have! 

This IS a story about the relationship between two MALE characters... if BL/Yaoi/BoyxBoy is not your jam then that's fine... but be aware that while this fanfiction will be concentrating mostly on the relationship and dynamics of the pair, there will be instance of physical intimacy.

[I'm eager to see what kind of insane product the UP is going to reveal this time.]
…
After around a dozen comments flowed by, light appeared in the black screen, and Chen Yu's masked face appeared on the screen.
"Greetings, fellow friends and viewers!"
In the video, Chen Yu was holding a small, rectangular box. Waving at the camera, he continued, "Welcome to Transdimensional Review's third episode! I am very grateful for all the support everyone has given me! The product I have brought to you all this time is…
"The Golden Finger!"
Tapping his index finger on the box, Chen Yu said, "This is a very special product with diverse functions. It is produced by the Handicraft Company in the year 2035—in other words, 15 years from now. Everyone watching this video will have the fortune of purchasing this product within your lifetime. Alright, I'll dispense with the nonsense. Let's begin today's review!"
"Good! If I fail to buy it 15 years later, I'll sue you for false advertising.]
[The Golden Finger? Is it used inside toilets? ( ͡°͜ʖ͡°)]
[Unboxing! Unboxing complete! Proceed to the review introduction!]
"First, let's start with the unboxing." Pulling off the box's lid, Chen Yu retrieved the golden finger cot inside the box and said, "Unboxing complete! Now, let's proceed to the next topic—review introduction."
Holding the finger cot, Chen Yu did a 360-degree display of it to the camera. He then continued, "Everyone should be able to clearly see the external appearance of this product. I can only use one word to describe this thing—exquisite! It is truly exquisite. From the outside, you can't see any joints. It looks as if it is one organic whole! Moreover, it is also unknown as to what material this Golden Finger is made of. It is soft yet hard, hard yet elastic. It feels extremely good to the touch."
[WTF?]
[What a terrible description…]
[Just call a spade a spade. Regardless, this finger cot indeed looks very beautiful.]
[So, just what is this Golden Finger used for?]
After displaying the "Golden Middle Finger" to the camera, Chen Yu wore it on his right middle finger. Adjusting his mask slightly, he said, "I believe everyone should have already noticed that each side of the finger cot has three buttons wrapped in special material. The buttons on the left represent power, while the right buttons represent speed! Each mode has three gears, the performance of the Golden Finger increasing with each subsequent gear.
"Next up, I will be reviewing the Golden Middle Finger's first function! The flick of friendship!"
After saying so, Chen Yu bent down and retrieved a wooden block from beneath the table. He then waved the wooden block at the camera and said, "It is a normal interaction for close friends to flick each other in the forehead. Forehead flicking can increase the sense of closeness between friends, and it also helps alleviate the dullness of gatherings. Hence, the Golden Middle Finger's first main function is to flick foreheads. Fifteen years in the future, this Golden Finger is an indispensable tool for card games, truth or dare, and many other activities."
While speaking, Chen Yu pressed down on the first left button. After feeling a numbing sensation in his middle finger, he aimed at the wooden block and sent a powerful flick at it.
Bang!
Crack!
The wooden block instantly fractured, and half of it flew out of camera range…
[???]
[?????]
[??]
"Good. Let's test the Golden Finger on this next."
After tossing away the remaining half of the wooden block he held, Chen Yu took out a thick and sturdy fire brick from under the table. He then pressed the "Power 2" button and sent a flick at the brick.
Boom!
The Golden Finger moved at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. There was only a loud sound before the brick broke into two.
[?????]
[Crap…]
[???]
"Lastly, let's try the finger on this."
After tossing away the remaining half of the brick, Chen Yu reached under the table once more and grabbed a steel rod as thick as a child's wrist. He then pressed the "Power 3" button.
Bzz…
The instant Chen Yu pressed the button, the audible sound of electric current flowing came from the Golden Finger.
"Wow! I can feel my middle finger brimming with strength!"
As soon as Chen Yu said so, he flicked at the steel rod ruthlessly!
Ding!
The instant the loud metallic clang sounded, the massive force from the impact made Chen Yu lose his grip on the steel rod. The steel rod flew straight out of his hand and smashed into the review table, creating a deep scar.
"Hiss…"
Chen Yu hurriedly retracted his left hand in pain and relaxed only after seeing that his palm was fine. He then bent down to pick up the steel rod that had bounced off to the floor and showed the rod to the camera.
Unlike before, the thick steel rod was now bent.
"As I had released my grip partway, the Golden Finger was not able to display its full strength. Otherwise, this steel rod would've snapped directly in half."
Clang.
Tossing away the steel rod, Chen Yu pointed the Golden Finger at the camera and asked, "Well? Is everyone satisfied with the function of this product? It is truly a godlike tool for head-flicking!"
[Godlike head-flicking tool (No)! Close friend exterminator (Yes)!
[I'm shocked! Are these special effects?]
[Godly head-popper!]
[Wonderful! I'm going to buy one and join the war…]
[The finger part of an exoskeleton.]
[Thanos takes off the Infinity Gauntlet in embarrassment…]
[I just wish to know how the UP managed to get his hands on such a thing. Did he make it himself?]
[Itachi: "Forgive me, Sasuke, this is the last time…"]
[I recommend using it to flick naughty children…]
After a wave of bullet comments passed by, Chen Yu's figure on the screen turned his body slightly and revealed the Golden Finger's right side to the camera. He then explained, "Flicking foreheads is only one of the Golden Finger's functions. It still has another function that is equally great, and that is its speed function.
"Like the power function, the speed function has three gears. In the first gear, the finger cot will vibrate ten times per second!"
After Chen Yu pressed the first right button, the Golden Finger immediately started vibrating at an extremely high speed.
"Next up, the second gear. One hundred vibrations per second!"
Brr…
The instant Chen Yu pressed the second button, the Golden Finger accelerated, vibrating like a phantom. The sound of wind was clearly audible.
"With this function, whether you are playing instruments or participating in e-sports, you can achieve more with less! You can even use this function to turn the Golden Finger into a drill!"
[Amazing! I am truly convinced! Only a true lunatic would create such an item!]
[Wow! I seem to have discovered its true purpose!]
[Why do I feel that things are developing in a wrong direction…]
[Is my screen becoming yellow?][1]
[I get you!]
[What an outstanding recommendation!]
[You guys continue watching. I'm heading out for a bit. My dominant arm is feeling a little itchy.]
[I finished…]
"Lastly, the third gear! One thousand vibrations per second!"
Brr!!
A strong wind started roaring as soon as Chen Yu pressed the third button. Under the dynamic vision of humans, the rapidly vibrating Golden Finger actually transformed into a solid, golden plate!
[Crap! Crap! Crap!]
[????]
[Will the UP's middle finger get crippled?]
[A dog is robbing your video! UP, kill him now!]
[This abomination is meant for Gods…]
[Quickly save this loon.]
[Am I the only one that thinks that this thing can be used to tease cats?]
[I suspect you're an old driver…]
After displaying the Golden Finger's speed function for a bit longer, Chen Yu powered it off and put it back into its box. Clasping his hands together, he then looked at the camera and said, "Alright, the Golden Middle Finger's review ends here.
"Thank you, Handicraft Company, for supplying this technological product to me. Of course, I would also like to thank you for the support you've shown me, fellow viewers. Also, also, forgive me for being presumptuous, but I hope everyone can share my videos and bring my videos to the attention of many others. This is very important to me. This concerns whether I can have more and better technological products to share with everyone.
"Next week, I will be reviewing my fourth product on this channel. This will also be the last product for my 'newcomer' period. Let's meet again next Monday. Goodbye!"
After Chen Yu finished speaking, the screen darkened, and numerous bullet comments flew across it.
The video was over.


I am merely a reviewer, albeit the products I review are slightly different. For example, I review quantum computers, artificial intelligence, anti-gravity mech armor, planetary engines, sublight colonial ships, stellar detonators, etc... 
Chen Yu: "The technological product I bring to everyone for today's episode is—a dual-vector foil! W-Wait! Everyone, please calm down! Let me explain..."

Kashi wolfed down the last of the scrambled eggs on her plate, her fork clanking against the blue and white dishes. 
"Woah there," her aunt chuckled, "You want some more of those?"
Kashi stood back from the island in the kitchen, the white stool screeching. "No thanks Auntie Cee." Kashi said, hurrying to wipe down her dishes in the old sink. "I wanted to catch Uncle Hudson before he left to go get the new equipment." She slid her now dry dishes into the cupboards. "You should get a new sink to match the renovated kitchen."
"I'll think about it!" Aunt Cee laughed. "Now go get your uncle. He'll be getting the trailer out now."
Kashi skipped out the back door towards the large metal barn where they kept most of the larger equipment pieces. Her braids were bouncing against her back, messy and hurried little things. She'd been too rushed to do anything more than swiftly twine the strands together.
 She had decided she'd try to see what her uncle knew about those letters and its contents. The yearbooks had come up a dead end meaning that the other man wasn't from this small town. At least not during high school. He had however made it into a newspaper dating from before Kashi's mom had even met her dad. The photo was almost identical to the other. Her dad and uncle were standing side by side, grinning from ear to ear. That other man who the newspaper dubbed, 'Collins' was smirking beside them. The title of the article was "New Heights Reached as New Grounds Break." Essentially, the three of them had struck up some business deal having to do with a company from New York. But Kashi remembered that the deal had never happened. Too many of the locals protested having a big company in their small town. And despite the two Thomson men owning most of the land in their town, it didn't come to fruition. Her dad always got upset when the deal was brought up. It made sense why the letters sounded so angry at least. 
That still only gave her a little to go on. The article didn't give a name for the company or a hint as to what it did. 
"Uncle Hudson!" she shouted, jogging over to where he was finished connecting the trailer to his truck. "Need any help?"
"You only seem to ask that question when the work is finished." he chuckled, grunting as he stood up from kneeling in the browning grass. "I was just about to head out. Wanna come with me?"
Kashi smirked, jumping into the passenger seat. Plenty of time to bring up the business deal. 
He was headed to a town a few hours away where he bought a used tractor. "Half the price, just as good!" he'd told Kashi when she asked him why not just buy a new one. He could certainly afford it. 
"Hey uncle." Kashi said, staring out the windshield at the never ending road. They'd been listening to her uncle's favorite talk show for almost a half hour. She wasn't sure she could take much more. "How come you and dad aren't pals anymore like you used to be?"
He sighed reluctantly. Kashi dared a glance over to her uncle. He was frowning over the steering wheel, sunglasses and cap shielding his expression. "We were never quite pals growing up. He and Aaron used to beat up on me as the baby all the time. When Aaron was killed in that crash, your dad kinda stopped communicating with anyone. He and Aaron, now they were good friends." The rumbling of the truck across the cracked asphalt filled the span on time before he continued. "We did get close after we both got back from college shortly before your grandpa decided he was too old to keep running the ranch."
Kashi had never met her grandparents. Her grandmother had divorced her grandfather and left when her dad and uncle were both at college. They hadn't heard from her since. Her grandfather had died before she was born. "So you said close, but not pals?" She caught his gaze. There was a small smile on his face, one of nostalgia. 
"Business partners. We had planned to run the ranch together, your dad and I. But when things started to pick up speed…" He trailed off. "There were allegations of cheating. Millions of dollars were lost. Someone went missing and I just couldn't stay a part of that in my right conscience."
Kashi turned away. That's what this was connected to? Her dad had always been mad at her uncle for cheating him out of something. But he never talked about it. "Uncle why—"
"Kash, why are you so interested?" His eyes didn't leave the road. 
"I just…" her sigh was audible over the engine and the blasted AC. "I miss having you and Auntie Cee around." It wasn't a lie. She did miss them. Her dad and uncle had begun to make up when she and Felix were kids. Some of her older siblings had still been around. This was before her step mom died too. 
Then there was that argument and the brothers went back to the cold silence and competition. It happened on Felix's birthday. They'd had family and friends over alike and then the two men began to shout at each other, audible through the screen door. Even if the heavy oak door had been shut, they still could've been heard. 
Her red faced uncle had stormed into the house. The party was already silent. His footsteps thudded across the hardwood. "Cecile let's go." He grabbed his wife's hand, nodded to Kashi's stepmom and left the room without so much as a backwards glance. 
Felix's party didn't last much longer after that. 
"I miss it too." Her uncle's face shifted, his eyes looking at something far away.
Shadows of large birds flew over the wild grass surrounding them. The sun dipped behind a tiny puffy cloud, emerging seconds later. Kashi shifted, her legs sticking to the hot leather seats of her uncle's truck. Maybe she'd pay her dad a visit this week.

Kashi is a spunky young daughter of a wealthy ranch owner. She's always been spirited and wild. But her dad has different ideas for her future than she does. 

Carr is a young man moving across the state of Missouri working as a ranch hand for several ranchers. He eventually stops for a time in Kashi's town. 

As the two come face to face with each other and the problems they're facing, they uncover new mysteries and old secrets lying in their small town in Missouri.
