Chapter 4: You decide to sneak into the immortal cave to see if you can scavenge any treasures.

When there were many girls, they became especially bold.

During the break, the classmates who had grown curious about Ye Hui from his self-introduction gradually gathered around him.

Before Ye Hui could answer, the crowd only grew larger.

The allure of a transfer student?

Ye Hui’s scalp tingled.

“Autumn Beanbag, I have something to say!”

Seeing more and more classmates, Ye Hui, who psychologically felt young, quickly stood up and spoke loudly.

“I know everyone is curious, actually…”

He spread his hands, and from his empty palm, a pen suddenly appeared.

“See, this is the 'Sleeve Universe,' a celestial technique to store things in a different dimension…”

A little girl screamed, and someone called for another demonstration.

Ye Hui slipped the pen into his system backpack.

“It really disappeared, wow!”

“How magical!”

“Is Ye Hui really an immortal?”

“Can I practice cultivation too?”

“This must be a magic trick, right?”

Ye Hui kept putting away the small gifts classmates gave him, pulling items from his hands, sleeves, and back. Even Sakura and Tomoyo applauded enthusiastically nearby.

Ye Hui wiped sweat from his brow.

Fortunately, the backpack function had also undergone mutation, allowing him to handle it with ease.

In games, typically one item occupies one slot.

These settings couldn’t be pondered too deeply.

If you did, it would seem absurd.

Even the smallest item is composed of countless particles, surely far exceeding the 999-slot backpack limit.

Now, the backpack rules had changed, no stacking allowed and space was smaller, which only made things seem more reasonable.

Perhaps because in the modern age, one must show respect to Lord Niu?

Some students loudly clamored to see more spells.

Ye Hui made a stopping gesture and began babbling nonsense to attract attention.

“Cultivators aim to become immortals. Their celestial techniques are merely for convenience in daily life… Immortals truly exist, and though my aptitude is average, I want to become one through effort. My fate is mine, not heaven’s decree; the future is never predestined…”

After rambling a bit, the bell finally rang.

“I won’t show off anymore, it’s troublesome.”

Ye Hui just wanted to make his future cultivation endeavors somewhat reasonable, not be mistaken for a magician.

It would be ridiculous for someone to suddenly learn magic and immortal arts.

But for someone who has pursued extraordinary powers for years, obtaining such power wouldn’t be strange.

He wasn’t short on money.

In the past two years, other than gathering information about the magical world, he had gained nothing else.

---

During the remaining time, Ye Hui used the vast inheritance from his parents to handle some minor matters.

With money, many things went smoothly; people’s attitudes around him clearly improved.

While the teacher hadn’t arrived, Sakura turned her head and asked Ye Hui, who sat in the back row.

“Ye Hui, can you help interpret dreams like the shrine maiden and the monk?”

Ye Hui’s lips curled into a slight smile. “Tell me more?”

Sakura hesitated and muttered a few words.

Ye Hui absentmindedly tapped his fingers.

“Girl, your adventure is about to begin. Those dreams actually foreshadow the future…”

Tomoyo joined in. “Dreams? Adventure? Sakura, are you going to be a superhero?”

“Maybe a magician?”

…

“Hey!”

Sakura waved colorful ribbon pom-poms, fluttering like a butterfly in midair, performed a backflip, and landed gracefully.

“On purpose! Totally on purpose!”

“Sakura’s amazing!”

“Wow, so cool!”

Ye Hui heard the chorus of “on purpose” beside him.

From afar, the girls in the cheerleading club cheered loudly, and even Ye Hui couldn’t help but applaud Sakura.

Sakura was just an elementary school student.

In fourth grade, she could perform highly risky gymnastic moves; calling her sporty was no exaggeration.

Schools in the Sakura Kingdom were both lenient and strict.

They held firm principles on certain rules.

At least in elementary school, teachers were not allowed to teach such difficult sports.

Sakura’s performance was purely for show.

The system log, seemingly unable to bear Sakura’s display of talent, refreshed again.

[That day, you once again realized the vast difference in aptitude. You thought that practicing mundane martial arts would let you trample the world’s protagonist Sakura Kinomoto underfoot, but unexpectedly, she also knows martial arts!]

[She is a disciple of a sect excelling in morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics, and labor. Your competitive heart burns fiercely…]

[Could it be that Sakura Kinomoto obtained the ancient body-refining technique in the ancient talisman sect’s cave? You decide to sneak into the cave to see if you can find any leftovers.]

[Beep, side quest triggered: Cave Infiltration! Sneak into the ancient cave while the protagonist is away, with a chance to steal secret manuals, tools, treasures, talismans…]

Ye Hui rubbed his forehead.

“System, are you sure there really are treasures in Fujitaka’s study?”

[No study detected. The target is the cave ruins. The cave master loved collecting ancient artifacts and stored all his collections throughout the cave for destined successors…]

“Alright, alright, I’ll go then.”

Ye Hui waved his hand. “By the way, if system messages pop up with selectable options or main and side quest notifications, please remind me…”

[Beep, message notifications enabled.]

Hey! There really was a hidden feature?

Ye Hui was about to continue exploring the system’s functions when a sudden cry of pain broke out, causing a stir among the classmates.

---

It turned out Sakura had been distracted while practicing pole throwing and got hit on the head by the wooden staff.

Ye Hui remembered this scene vividly.

When he first watched the show, he thought it was a minor detail foreshadowing the acquisition of the magic wand.

Now that he was truly in the Cardcaptor Sakura world, he realized this small accident held deeper meaning.

Not only did it showcase Sakura’s athletic talent, but also hinted at her growing magical power.

Sakura’s birthday had passed just ten days ago.

In the morning, she had only glimpsed the future in a dream.

But now, even when daydreaming, she subconsciously foresaw the magic wand on the staff…

“This talent is incomparable!”

Ye Hui sighed.

Reborn in Sakura Kingdom, unscathed by societal hardships, he had no worries about food or clothing, allowing for a much more relaxed mindset.

The Ye Hui in the system logs was always jealous of this and that.

He constantly motivated himself to be the best disciple.

Such a striving youth was nothing like his personality.

It must be another system bug at work.

The sun slowly set, and finally, school was dismissed.

Ye Hui changed shoes and went to find his mount — a bicycle.

He had little interest in club activities.

Especially elementary school clubs.

There was a real generation gap psychologically.

Elementary students in Sakura Kingdom got off early and had no evening classes, completely different from his previous life.

As he left the school gate, Ye Hui saw Sakura speeding ahead on rollerblades.

He shook his head and followed on his small bike.

He also opened a gift pack.

[Beep, obtained 10 Vajra Talismans, acquired Spiritual Awareness Talent (Beginner), obtained Marrow Purification Pill.]

Ye Hui didn’t have time to examine them closely and continued to pursue.

Don’t ask why he wasn’t afraid of Touya Kinomoto suddenly jumping out to beat the stalker.

Putting aside that Touya was a high school sophomore and Ye Hui only a fourth grader, two years had passed since he learned this was the Cardcaptor Sakura world.

Though he wasn’t a top student, he had casually purchased a villa near Sakura’s home.

He had prepared exercise equipment and supplies…

Neighbors visiting was only natural and reasonable!
