Learning to play games, a 40-year-old woman achieves a remarkable turnaround.

Chapter 212 You've Become a Spirit

In the blink of an eye, several little spirit beasts surrounded Yuan Baotuan and started talking to him.

The big white goose stretched its neck and quacked, "Master, look how fragrant Little 9 smells! We want to smell like flowers too!"

The little yellow chicks squeezed in, stood together, and chirped in agreement: "Yes, yes, Master, we want to smell good too!"

The little fox wagged its tail, its eyes full of expectation: "Master, can you get some for us too?"

Yuan Bao felt a warm glow in his heart as he looked at them.

Normally, thanks to these little guys helping to manage the fields and herb gardens, she agreed without hesitation: "Okay, no problem! What kind of floral scent do you want? I have lavender and gardenia scented pills on hand right now."

The little fox tilted its head, looked at Little 9, and then at Yuan Bao: "We know the scent of gardenias, Little 9 has it on her, but what does the scent of lavender smell like? We've never smelled it before."

"That's right, Master, let us smell it!" the big white goose chimed in.

Yuan Bao smiled and took out a lavender body fragrance pill from his pocket, holding it up to everyone.

The big white goose was the first to step forward, sniffed it hard, and its eyes lit up immediately: "Wow, this smells so special, I want this one!"

After smelling it, the little fox shook its head and looked at Yuan Bao: "Master, I still prefer the scent of gardenias, just like Xiao 9's."

When it was the little yellow chick's turn, it looked at the big white goose and then at the little fox, feeling very conflicted.

Finally, the little yellow chick whispered, "Master, we both love both of these scents, we really don't know which one to choose." Then it looked at Yuan Bao expectantly.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao couldn't help but burst out laughing. He pointed at the little yellow chick and teased, "You little guys, it turns out you're the smartest one!"

Both of these scents have their own merits; I've prepared some for you both so you can smell nice too!

The ginseng baby, with its short legs, hopped over to Yuan Bao, tilted its chubby face up, and asked expectantly, "Sister, can I use this body-fragrant pill?"

Seeing this, Little 9 habitually pushed off with its hind legs, nimbly spun around in the air, and landed next to the ginseng doll. It patiently explained, "Ginseng doll, you are different from us. You are a precious herb with your own unique natural fragrance. This body-fragrance pill is not suitable for you."

Upon hearing this, the ginseng doll's eyes instantly lit up like two black gems. With its childlike nature, it jumped and danced with joy, muttering to itself, "Great! Great! I smell so good all by myself!"

Seeing this, Yuan Bao couldn't help but chuckle and say, "Of course, Ginseng Baby, the fragrance on you is unique and captivating. It makes me want to take a bite just by smelling it."

Yuan Bao meant it as a joke, but to his surprise, the ginseng doll's smile froze instantly, his eyes widening in terror.

Then, in its childish voice, it cried out loudly, "Hmph! You're a bad person! You want to eat me, you big bad guy!"

As she spoke, she turned around angrily, turning her little bottom towards Yuan Bao.

Seeing the ginseng doll's adorable reaction, Yuan Bao laughed even harder, his laughter echoing through the fields for a long time.

Seeing the ginseng doll puffing up its cheeks and turning its back in anger, Yuan Bao quickly stepped forward, a gentle smile on its face, and said softly, "Oh, I was just joking with you, my little ginseng spirit. You've become a spirit, so clever and cute, how could I bear to eat you?"

As she spoke, she gently reached out her hands and carefully held the ginseng doll in her arms, patting it softly.

The ginseng doll, who had been holding her breath, gradually relaxed in Yuan Bao's warm embrace, feeling her gentle caresses.

It tilted its head back and looked at Yuan Bao with its big, watery eyes. The grievance in its eyes had disappeared, replaced by full trust.

Looking at the ginseng doll in his arms, whose emotions had quickly calmed down, Yuan Bao couldn't help but sigh: Hmm, it's still just a child at heart. Although it gets angry quickly, it's not hard to coax it. It's still very easy to coax.

Just as Yuan Bao was immersed in the joyful interaction with the little spirit beasts, the system's crisp notification sound suddenly rang in his mind: "Ding! The Home Design Contest event has been launched!"

The system then proceeded to explain the event rules in a structured manner: "Players may choose whether or not to participate in this competition. If they participate and achieve a top-three finish, they will each receive generous rewards."

The first place winner will receive 5 game points, the second place winner will receive 3 game points, and the third place winner will receive 2 game points. In addition, the top three winners will all receive the right to upgrade their homestead.

"Wow!" Little 9's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this series of astonishing rewards. Forgetting her elegant posture, she jumped up, her voice trembling slightly with excitement, "The rewards for this event are amazing! I can't believe it!"

It paced back and forth incessantly, its tail swishing like a propeller, completely losing its usual calm and composed demeanor.

Hearing Xiao 9's exclamation, Yuan Bao was filled with doubt, not understanding what was so great about this reward. So he asked, "Xiao 9, what's so amazing about this reward? It just sounds like points and the right to use the homestead."

Little 9 jumped in front of Yuan Bao, his eyes wide and eager, and said loudly, "Young Master, you mustn't underestimate the right to use this homestead breakthrough! Do you know what that means?"

Infected by Xiao 9's excitement, Yuan Bao couldn't help but get nervous as well, and asked, "What does it mean? Stop keeping me in suspense."

Xiao 9 took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then explained in a long and detailed manner: "My lord, once you obtain the right to use the Homestead Breakthrough, it is equivalent to breaking through the bottleneck between the game and reality ahead of schedule."

For example, in the real world, you can use the resources in the game to buy the butler Baymax and the chef Little Baymax, and have them help you with housework and cooking.

In the future, when you come home, you can directly enjoy a clean and tidy environment and taste delicious food without having to do anything yourself.

Moreover, you can even buy design schemes for the house's decoration style directly from the game store and replace the real-world decoration with a single click.

Then you can change your home however you want, isn't that awesome?

"I have space, and I don't need to cook much anymore!"

"It's different, my lady. Even if you secretly take it out of your space, you still have to make a show of it, right? After the breakthrough, it's like having a little white dog in your kitchen in the real world. Wouldn't that make things more convenient for you in the future?"

"Oh yeah! Then Baymax will also appear in my home in the real world to help me with housework! Won't that arouse suspicion?"
