Chapter 43 Re-examining One's Career Direction
After paying off his debts, Yuan Bao felt as if he had been reborn, and even his breathing felt more exhilarating than ever before.
After sharing her joy with Xiao 9, she said with anticipation, "Xiao 9, after we move to our new house, I'll use the housewarming celebration as an excuse to introduce you as a new member of our family. Xiao Zhi and my mother will definitely love you." Yuan Bao's eyes sparkled, as if she could already see the heartwarming scene of Xiao 9 integrating into the family.
"From now on, please take good care of Xiaozhi and my mother!" Yuan Bao smiled at Xiao 9, her eyes full of trust.
Upon hearing this, Little 9 immediately straightened its round body, proudly patted its chest, and bounced a few times in the air, just like a child eager to show off: "No problem, leave it to me. I guarantee I'll make them happy and they'll miss me terribly if they don't see me for a day!"
"For now, you should remain invisible in the game world. After all, in the early 90s, we didn't have the means to keep pets. You can reappear when the time is right," Yuan Bao said, frowning slightly as he carefully instructed.
"Mmm, I know," Little 9 replied, tilting her head, her obedient manner making one feel affection for her.
Then Yuan Bao returned home, feeling exceptionally cheerful. Humming a little tune, she went into the kitchen and prepared a sumptuous lunch for herself, her mother, and Xiao Zhi.
The kitchen was instantly bustling with activity. Pots and pans collided in Yuan Bao's hands, creating beautiful music. Hot oil and ingredients intertwined to release an enticing aroma that wafted straight into one's nostrils, making one's stomach rumble. This was the taste of a happy life restarting, rich and wonderful.
During the meal, Yuan's mother noticed her change and asked with a smile, "Yuan Bao, why are you in such a good mood? Is something good happening?" Yuan's mother's eyes were full of concern and curiosity, and she stopped eating.
Yuan Bao winked mischievously, picked up a piece of chicken cutlet from his mother's plate, and said, "Mom, I received a call from the online lending company today. They gave me a certain reduction, and now I've paid off all my debts. Our family's life will only get better and better from now on. Just wait and enjoy the good life!" The confidence in his tone made Yuan's mother smile as well.
Little Zhi, oblivious to everything, was engrossed in eating, muttering, "Delicious, so delicious."
His cheeks puffed out like a greedy little squirrel, making Yuan Bao and his mother laugh out loud.
After dinner, Yuan Bao sat at his desk, opened his notebook, and carefully listed his future plans.
She knew that her life was now secure, and it was time to live and move forward steadily in the way she liked.
First, she plans to re-evaluate her career path.
Thinking back to how she plunged headlong into the business world with high aspirations, only to find herself caught in the undercurrents of the market and ultimately beaten badly by reality, she must learn from this experience and not act rashly again.
She told herself that she must calm down and explore slowly, and never rush to find someone to cooperate with, let alone rashly stockpile a large amount of goods.
"Only by taking steady and solid steps can we go far." Yuan Bao wrote these words heavily on his notebook, as if making a vow to himself.
Yuan Bao knows that in this day and age, knowledge is power, and mastering another skill is like opening another door to opportunity.
Looking out at the bustling world, her thoughts raced.
Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly, shining like a new star in various fields. She thought that if she could master this knowledge, she might be able to find her own place in this emerging wave.
With this in mind, Python programming naturally became a part of her learning list.
And then there's that guy who once learned a little bit of Photoshop. Although he only had a superficial understanding, Yuan Bao knew that if he could master this software, it would be very useful in the future, whether he was taking on some freelance design jobs to earn some extra money to supplement his family income, or using it for self-media promotion to create a striking image for himself.
Traditional Chinese medicine skills are a "treasure" she is reluctant to give up.
The basic TCM skills she learned in the game world have already given her a taste of success, and she will definitely continue to improve them in the future to better care for herself and her family, and to delve deeper into their mysteries.
She had been longing for the prescription for eye repair for a long time, and had been thinking about whether she could research and turn it into a medicine.
If it really works, it can help those in need around us, allowing them to see the world clearly again. It might even serve as a breakthrough to develop a unique entrepreneurial path, killing two birds with one stone.
Without hesitation, Yuan Bao started searching for Python programming learning materials online that very afternoon, purchased professional tutorials, and joined several learning and exchange groups. As soon as he joined the groups, he felt the enthusiastic learning atmosphere.
The group members came from all over the country, but they all shared the same dream. They encouraged each other and shared their learning experiences. Yuan Bao instantly felt that he was not fighting alone.
Yuan Bao set a strict study plan for himself, spending at least two hours every day studying code, starting with basic syntax, typing line by line, and studying case by case. When he encountered difficulties, he would search for answers online or ask experts in the group for help.
Yuan Bao was confident about relearning Photoshop, thinking it should be relatively quick.
She roughly estimated that she would learn the basic knowledge within 15 days. After that, all that was left was long-term practice and refinement, just like sculpting a fine work of art. You can't rush it; you have to take it slowly.
Next, Yuan Bao turned his attention to his own social media account.
Previously, she had been posting short videos on office skills, and had posted hundreds of them. Although she gained some targeted followers and occasionally took on some students, she never became a big hit. Like a small flame, she never had the potential to become a wildfire.
Yuan Bao rested his chin on his hand, pondered for a long time, and finally decided to put this aside for now. He would wait until he had more knowledge and more solid skills before considering whether to adjust or reposition himself.
After all, you can't rush things; you have to take it one step at a time.
After meticulously planning for the future, Yuan Bao concluded this milestone day.
After reorganizing everything, Yuan Bao returned to the game world, concluding a day of great significance.
As soon as I returned to the game world, Xiao 9's caring voice rang in my ears like a spring breeze: "My lord, congratulations! You just completed the main quest—maintaining the top score in the monthly exam, earning 500 points and a chance to win a prize."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao's eyes lit up, and then a sly smile appeared on her lips: "I know that you have to save up for the lottery draws. The more times you draw, the higher your chances of winning something good will be." She was calculating in her mind, as if she had a little abacus.
Looking at the points panel, the current points have accumulated to 3100.
Yuan Bao clenched his fist, his eyes revealing determination: "This is not enough, I need to work harder." He thought of the mysterious cave, which, although fraught with danger, was also a "gold mine" of points.
“Little 9, let’s go back to the mysterious cave tonight, kill the poisonous creatures, earn more points, and upgrade the system again,” Yuan Bao said with high spirits.
Little 9 chimed in, "Alright, my lady, I'll go with you!"
So, during the day, Yuan Bao continued to study at home as usual, immersing himself in the ocean of knowledge.
Around noon and evening, she would go into the kitchen and, with her superb culinary skills, prepare delicious lunches and dinners for her family.
The family sat around the dining table, eating happily and laughing brightly, filling the house with warmth.
After dinner, Yuan Bao returned to his room, closed the door, and entered the game space as if embarking on a mysterious adventure.
Following the familiar map, she went straight to the mysterious cave.
At the cave entrance, the familiar damp, decaying smell, along with a slight chill, rushed towards him, but Yuan Bao seemed oblivious, his eyes filled with a fighting spirit to challenge.
She took a deep breath and stepped steadily into the cave, ready to embark on another challenging journey and move towards becoming a stronger version of herself.
