"Alright, the 'big things' in real life are temporarily over," Yuan Bao said to himself. "It's time to get back on track."
After washing up, Yuan Bao glanced at his sleeping son Xiao Zhi, said goodnight to his mother, and finally lay back down in his own bed.
My body was exhausted, but my mind was unusually clear.
She closed her eyes, and deep within her consciousness, it was as if she had pressed an invisible switch.
[Consciousness link confirmed... User: Yuan Bao... Logging in...]
After the familiar, slight dizziness subsided, the heavy feeling of middle age disappeared.
Instead, it brings a long-lost lightness and vitality.
When Yuan Bao opened his eyes in the game world, he was greeted by an antique-style carved wooden bed canopy.
The air was filled with a faint, calming herbal scent.
She sat up, looked down at her slender yet powerful wrists, and felt the astonishing clarity and activity in her mind, as if the information of the whole world was opening up to her in the clearest way.
According to the plan, she has completed the transcription of most of the books in the Beijing University Library. Next, she will begin to step out of the campus under the guise of "study abroad" to put what she has learned into practice in a wider world and find more opportunities to convert it into system points.
With a slight thought, a semi-transparent panel that only she could see appeared before her eyes:
Current points: 38/50
I'm only 12 points away from my ultimate goal of 50 points!
Yuan Bao's heart beat slightly faster.
Summer vacation is over, and in the real world, my older brother's life-long event is about to come to a perfect end.
Now, it's time to go all out and fight for yourself, for Mom, and for Xiao Zhi in this magical game world that can change reality!
“Starting today,” she clenched her fist, feeling the surge of energy coursing through her young body, “first stop on our journey, let’s go! Goal—50 points!”
She took a deep breath, as if she wanted to inhale all the hopeful air of the game world into her lungs to nourish her heart that longed for change.
Yuan Bao walked to the window and pushed open half of the carved wooden window.
As the morning light fully illuminated the courtyard, it reflected off the blue brick floor.
Several pomegranate trees stretched out their branches and leaves, with small green fruits hanging from them.
Grandfather was slowly practicing Tai Chi under the eaves, his movements graceful and fluid.
The voices of Grandma and Aunt Yuan could be faintly heard coming from the east wing, as if they were discussing the pattern of some fabric.
My aunt was feeding the cooing pigeons in the corner of the yard with a winnowing basket.
The ordinary yet vibrant atmosphere of life is palpable, carrying a comforting blend of noise and warmth.
"Sister Bao'er! Sister Bao'er!" A clear, bell-like voice suddenly broke the silence.
My cousin Pingping, like a cheerful little deer, rushed in from the other side of the hanging flower gate, clutching a golden-fried dough stick in one hand and waving the other.
She wore two pigtails today, which bounced as she ran, and her little face turned bright red with excitement.
"Slow down, Pingping!" Aunt Yuan's voice, filled with laughter, came from the doorway of the side room.
Pingping didn't care. She darted to Yuan Bao's window in a few steps, standing on tiptoe, her fried dough stick almost poking the window frame. She lowered her voice, but couldn't hide her huge desire to share: "Sister! Sister! Huge news! I saw it!"
Her eyes lit up dramatically. "Big Brother! Brother Baoguo! He...he brought his girlfriend back! They're right at the gate! They're holding hands, so affectionate! And that girl is so pretty!"
"What?" Yuan Ma's voice suddenly rose, and she peeked out from the door of the side room, her face full of unbelievable surprise.
"Really?" My aunt stopped feeding the pigeons and came over with a gossipy look on her face.
Even my grandfather, who was practicing boxing, slowed down his movements and turned his gaze toward the hanging flower gate.
The courtyard was instantly enveloped in an atmosphere that mixed surprise, curiosity, and immense joy.
Yuan Bao leaned against the window, watching Pingping dance with excitement, and listening to his mother and aunt's eager questions, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved up.
The "Wish Fulfillment Card" worked even better than she had expected, not only helping her older brother in the real world.
The big brother in the game world has found his ideal girl so early; it seems his happiness is secured in the game world.
Miss Bai appeared at just the right moment on the corridor, her voice not loud, but clearly carrying throughout the courtyard: "Miss, breakfast is ready. Please move to the dining room." She turned slightly to the side, her gaze seemingly casually sweeping towards the hanging flower gate.
"Yes, yes, let's eat first!" Yuan Ma realized, and couldn't stop smiling. While calling to everyone, she couldn't help but keep looking towards the door.
Yuan Bao turned away from the window and walked towards the dining room.
Exquisite bowls and plates were already set on the table.
A warm, jade-like white porcelain bowl holds a thick, fragrant chicken and poria cocos porridge, accompanied by several refreshing side dishes, a small dish of neatly chopped, pale yellow pea flour cakes, and a bowl of walnut cream with a rich nutty aroma.
These are all the masterpieces of novice chef.
Yuan Baogang had just sat down and picked up a spoon when he heard footsteps and deliberately hushed voices approaching from afar.
As the light dimmed at the entrance to the dining room, the tall figure of the eldest brother, Baoguo, appeared there.
His face was flushed with an unprecedented blush, a mixture of shyness and immense joy, and his eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.
He stepped aside slightly, carefully took a young woman's hand, and led her into the dining room.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, Aunt...uh, everyone..." Bao Guo was so nervous that he was a little incoherent. He subconsciously raised his hand to scratch the back of his head, and his honest smile almost stretched to his ears. "This...this is Chen Lan."
The young woman was dressed in an elegant dress, poised and graceful, with gentle eyes and a blush on her cheeks. She bowed slightly and greeted everyone, "Hello uncles and aunts, hello elders, I'm sorry to bother you. My name is Chen Lan."
The dining room fell silent for a moment, then erupted in even greater enthusiasm.
"Oh my! Come in, come in! Don't stand at the door!" Grandma was the first to react, beaming from ear to ear.
"That's right, Xiao Lan, right? Come on, sit down! We can have breakfast together!" Aunt Yuan quickly got up and greeted her warmly, looking Chen Lan up and down with great satisfaction.
"You're good at protecting the country! You've kept quiet all this time!" the uncle joked with a smile.
"Sister Lan, you're so beautiful!" Pingping exclaimed sweetly.
The small dining room was instantly filled with laughter and cheerful conversation, creating a joyful atmosphere.
Surrounded by teasing from the crowd, Baoguo blushed even more, just grinning foolishly, his gaze occasionally drifting to Chen Lan beside him, filled with undisguised affection.
Chen Lan responded to the elders' questions in a generous manner, occasionally exchanging glances with Bao Guo, their eyes conveying an unspoken understanding.
It turns out that Chen Lan was the eldest brother's classmate. She admired his academic excellence. Although she was three years older than him, there's a saying that "a woman three years older than her husband is a lucky charm"! As long as he's a good person, that's all that matters!
Yuan Bao secretly probed Chen Lan with his mind and found that she matched the Wish-Fulfilling Card. This was an unexpected surprise. It seemed that the Wish-Fulfilling Card worked in the game world as well as in the real world.
Yuan Bao sat in his seat, gently stirring the warm chicken and poria porridge in his bowl with a white porcelain spoon.
The aroma of herbs mingled with the fragrance of rice, and the rising steam felt warm and comforting on my face.
She looked at the lively, heartwarming, and hopeful scene before her—her older brother was holding Chen Lan's hand tightly, his face filled with pure happiness;
Grandma smiled so much that the wrinkles around her eyes smoothed out;
Pingping chattered away like a happy little bird;
Miss Bai stood quietly to the side, adding bowls and chopsticks for the newly joined Chen Lan in a timely manner;
Little Bai quietly brought over another serving of walnut milk and placed it next to Yuan Bao.
This is home.
