Jiang Liyu picked up her chopsticks and took a small amount of food.

After placing it in the bowl, she stopped and looked up at the man opposite her.

"I haven't fallen behind in my studies; I've always been first in my grade in every exam."

"Which of the professional courses you enrolled me in, and the company tasks, haven't I completed?"

"Isn't it okay if I just relax in my free time?"

She picked up the food again and put it in her mouth.

"Besides..."

Jiang Liyu swallowed her food, her tone remaining calm.

"What's the difference between coming home early and coming home late?"

"Do you spend more than three days a year at home?"

"You, you, you..."

The middle-aged man clutched his chest, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Little fish!"

The white-haired beauty immediately took over the conversation.

"How dare you talk to your father like that? We're so busy, isn't it all for..."

"Bang!"

Jiang Liyu placed the white jade chopsticks on the table.

The bowls and plates on the table trembled slightly.

She looked up at the white-haired beauty.

"Do you feel uncomfortable if I don't scold you?"

"You, you, you..."

The white-haired beauty clutched her chest, so angry she could hardly breathe.

Jiang Liyu took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, then stood up.

"Jiang Yan, Liu Wen."

She looked at her parents, her tone flat.

"I will do my best to handle the tasks you have assigned me."

"But Mengzhu is my only friend."

Jiang Liyu's eyes turned cold.

"If you interfere in her affairs, I can't guarantee that the perfect successor you've been trying to cultivate will still be obedient."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the stairs.

Soon after, I heard my parents' muffled curses from behind.

"Rebellious daughter!"

"Aren't we all doing this for her own good?"

"They've actually turned around and threatened us! They've really grown wings!"

"Keep your voice down."

The white-haired beauty lowered her voice, "If she hears this, she'll smash the vase down again, just like last time."

The living room was quiet for a moment.

The middle-aged man sighed heavily.

"I should have called Xiao Jing back."

"That girl, only her brother can keep her in check..."

The camera did not linger on the living room.

It moved up the stairs, passed through the second-floor corridor, and landed in Jiang Liyu's room.

The room was almost devoid of any extraneous furnishings; the only decoration was a bookshelf filled with various professional books.

Jiang Liyu walked to the desk and stopped.

There was a dark blue helmet on the table.

She reached out and picked it up, her gaze falling on the pattern on the side of the helmet.

The little figure with hands on hips and laughing is exactly the same as the one Mengzhu showed in the afternoon.

Jiang Liyu glanced down at the appointment records on her phone.

"I just made an appointment and I already got it?"

Her brow furrowed slightly.

"Could it be such a coincidence?"

As the helmet flipped over, a card slipped out from the inside.

Jiang Liyu bent down and picked it up.

To my dearest sister:

[Little Fish, it's been so long since we last talked! How have you been?]

The other day, my parents told me that you and a classmate often secretly played games on the school rooftop.

So, your brother snagged you the absolute latest fully immersive gaming headset.

Consider this your 18th birthday present!

Then you can play with your friends.

It won't affect my sleep.

How about it? Do you love your bro?

Upon seeing this, Jiang Liyu's lips curled into a rare smile.

The message was followed by a few birthday wishes and a reminder to take care of her health.

She quickly scanned the page, her gaze landing on the last paragraph.

[Last and last!]

[Hey sis, let me tell you! Don't have a boyfriend before you go to college!]

If you start dating in college, you should bring your partner to meet me!

Don't let the blond guy lure you away!

—【Your loving brother】

Jiang Liyu put down the card and raised her hand to rub her temples.

She only heard Mengzhu mention this helmet in the afternoon, saying that the online price had already reached ten million.

It seems that my brother really put a lot of thought into preparing this birthday gift.

Jiang Liyu looked at the helmet on the table and remained silent for a moment.

I picked up my phone and glanced at the time; it was already past midnight.

Today marks the start of the open beta for this game.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Liyu no longer hesitated.

I plugged in the helmet and lay down on the bed.

Then she put the helmet back on, and her vision was completely plunged into darkness.

Jiang Liyu pressed the start button on the side of the helmet.

next second.

The darkness receded from view.

Colorful data cubes rose from all directions, rolling along the edge of her vision one by one, getting faster and faster, and finally stopping in front of her as a glowing interface.

Welcome to the Myriad Realms.

[The player is currently setting up their initial character.]

Please name it: ________

Jiang Liyu stared at the blank input field, her finger pausing for a moment.

A moment later, she typed two words.

【tangerine】

[Ding! Name successfully created.]

Please select your gender.

【men and women】

She selected "Female".

[Identity setup complete.]

[Next, we will proceed with the appearance adjustments.]

A human-shaped silhouette appeared on the panel.

Height, hair color, face shape, eye color, voice, body type...

Jiang Liyu didn't spend too much time on these options.

She lowered her height, changed her hair color to orange, slightly adjusted her face shape, and changed her eyes to a rounder style.

The face still retained some of her own features, but it was already very different from the real Jiang Liyu.

Especially height.

She set the character's height at 1.5 meters.

[Appearance settings complete.]

[Confirm?]

Jiang Li confirmed with a raindrop.

[Beginner setup complete.]

The data stream receded backward.

Immediately afterwards, a blinding white light exploded in front of her.

After the light faded, an orange-haired girl stood in the center of the sky screen.

She was only about 1.5 meters tall, with long orange hair hanging down her shoulders, fair skin, and a somewhat childish face.

Clothing is generated along with the character's outfit.

A white shirt, a brown skirt, knee-high socks, and a light short cape draped over her shoulders.

The entire outfit has no exposed skin, maintaining the simplicity of the initial character in the game.

Beyond the sky.

Under the sycamore tree, Su Huaying stared wide-eyed.

She first looked at the orange-haired girl in the sky, then at Jiang Liyu standing next to her.

A 1.5-meter-tall orange-haired little girl.

A tall, mature woman with long, icy blue hair.

Two figures switched back and forth in front of her.

Su Huaying finally couldn't hold back and slapped Jiang Liyu on the shoulder.

"So, Little Fish, the way you transformed was your appearance in the game!!"

Jiang Liyu nodded.

She looked at the sky, and a memory from long ago surfaced in her eyes.

Her appearance in the game is somewhat different from her actual appearance after transformation, but the general outline is still similar.

At least, these are the forms she chose herself.

Su Huaying stroked her chin, staring at the little girl in the sky.

"You're quite good at pinching."

Jiang Liyu glanced at her.

"I just made a few minor adjustments."

"Is this what you call casual?"

Su Huaying pointed to the sky.

"Look at her, how adorable she is!"
