Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

In two other games, Xiaoyu was ambushed by Voldemort, and with the team's sharpshooter gone, the team's strength was immediately brought back to its original state.

Fortunately, they had good luck in the remaining two games.

Thanks to Xiaoyu's ability to consistently reduce the opponent's numbers by one before the fight even started, and Wu Yong's formidable ability to break through head-on, they managed to secure the victory in the final round.

Kong Fugui and Ai Qing were directly taken down. Although their guns were firing all over the place, Xiao Yu and Wu Yong actually got the kills.

"Little Fish, next time Ai Qing comes to the internet cafe to play games, remember to come along too. I'll turn on your computer for you!"

Before leaving, Kong Fugui patted his chest vigorously and said.

Xiaoyu glanced at Ai Qing, and seeing that he didn't object, she happily nodded: "Okay."

"I have to go now, otherwise my mom will nag me." Wu Yong was in a hurry to go home, so he didn't linger and left after saying goodbye.

Kong Fugui had originally planned to head straight home, but Ai Qing grabbed his shoulder and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something else?"

"I'm thinking of buying a pre-built computer recently, do you have any recommendations?" Ai Qing asked.

He was a complete computer illiterate in this area. Although it would be cheaper to buy parts and assemble a computer himself, Ai Qing thought it was too troublesome to learn how to assemble one from scratch.

However, I was worried about being ripped off if I bought the whole machine directly, so I could only ask Kong Fugui, who knows about this.

Although Kong Fugui isn't very good at playing games, his home computer has top-of-the-line specs.

Unfortunately, Ai Qing only has a laptop, and it's not a gaming laptop, so it can't run any big games.

Wu Yong was even worse off; he didn't even own a laptop, and usually only had a very cheap mobile phone. He would only play games when he came to an internet cafe.

That's why Kong Fugui always came to the internet cafe to play games with them.

"Buy a complete system?" Kong Fugui was taken aback for a moment, then stroked his chin. "That makes sense. You're renting a place now, and the place is big enough to fit a computer."

"So, do you have any recommendations?" Ai Qing asked.

He wasn't buying it for himself, but for the little fish.

After all, aside from being called out to play games by Kong Fugui, he usually only plays Genshin Impact on his computer at home.

I usually log in for ten minutes a day, and I only grind a bit when there's a version update.

Most of the time, his computer is just a writing tool, and a laptop is perfectly adequate for him.

But since it was a computer prepared for Xiaoyu, Ai Qing recalled her experience of playing six rounds of PUBG tonight and felt that it would be a bit unreasonable not to give her a computer with a higher configuration.

Xiaoyu seemed to have a lot of fun today. When she left the internet cafe after logging off, she looked a little reluctant to leave.

I've already finished playing Fireboy and Watergirl, and Xiaoyu is engrossed in novels and QQ groups, so she hasn't been playing games much lately.

Ai Qing didn't really want Xiao Yu to read her novels. The thought of Xiao Yu reading some of her plots made her feel ashamed.

It would be great if she could play more video games in her free time; she should read fewer novels.

"What are the system requirements?" Kong Fugui asked.

"As long as it can run PUBG, that's fine."

“If you don’t mind, you can use the one at home.” Kong Fugui thought for a moment and then recommended, “I recently built a new one with the highest configuration, and the old one has been gathering dust. My parents and brother don’t use it either.”

"I was thinking of selling it secondhand, but the secondhand price would only be around three thousand. Selling it in parts would fetch a bit more, but that's too much trouble."

"If you want it, I can just have someone send it to you when I have time."

“Okay.” Ai Qing nodded. “Then I’ll transfer three thousand to you.”

Anyway, he didn't understand. Even if the computer Kong Fugui provided was a second-hand one from a few years ago, it must have been a top-of-the-line model at the time. It couldn't have been that bad.

It's more than enough for me and my little fish.

Kong Fugui nodded in agreement when he heard him say that.

He himself didn't lack the three thousand; he would even give it to Ai Qing for free.

But even close brothers should keep clear accounts. Precisely because he wasn't short of money, he accepted Ai Qing's offer.

After agreeing on a delivery time for the computer, the two waved goodbye.

Xiao Yu stood beside Ai Qing and politely said, "Goodbye!"

Watching Kong Fugui walk back to the gate of the opposite residential area, Ai Qing turned to look at Xiaoyu beside her and chuckled, "Did you have fun today?"

"Yes, I'm very happy!" Little Fish nodded vigorously, her face beaming with a bright smile. "Today's games were so much fun!"

"There are still many fun games to play." Ai Qing patted her head. "Let's go home."

"What my brother was talking about with his friend earlier, was it about buying a computer to take home?" Xiaoyu asked, unable to resist, as they walked towards the entrance of the residential area. "Like the big computers you see in internet cafes?"

“Yes, like the computers in internet cafes.” Ai Qing nodded. “My laptop is too small to hold big games, and its performance isn’t up to par.”

"Simply put, you can think of it as the higher the quality of the computer, the more powerful it is."

"And really fun games like PUBG require computers with a lot of strength to play."

"But the more powerful the computer, the more expensive it is. I didn't have enough money to buy an expensive one before, so I couldn't play games like PUBG at home."

It's not that it's impossible to play; a gaming laptop can handle it.

It's just that Ai Qing isn't that addicted to games.

He would rather read a few more chapters of a novel than use that time.

"So, can Xiaoyu play games on the big computer at home now?" Xiaoyu looked at Aiqing with anticipation and asked excitedly.

"That's possible, but you still need to study every day," Ai Qing said ruthlessly. "You can arrange your time freely outside of studying; you can play on your phone or computer, it's up to you."

"Oh fine."

The thought of having to study every day dealt a heavy blow to Xiaoyu's mood.

After all, as the time she could transform into a human each day increased, Ai Qing also intensified her studies.

However, he wouldn't work as hard as he would at school, focusing on Xiaoyu's academic performance.

All of Xiaoyu's current learning is to help her build an understanding of the world and society more quickly.

After she had made some progress in Chinese and mathematics, Ai Qing began to introduce her to more historical knowledge.

Be familiar with the structure of this society, the principles of its operation, what the world used to be like, and how it became what it is today.

There are also some basic facts about physics, chemistry, and biology, mostly common sense things, such as what water is, what electricity is, why animals need to eat, and why they excrete.

This kind of knowledge that most people gradually come into contact with from childhood to adulthood is mostly a blank for Xiaoyu, and she needs time to slowly receive and digest it.

If they didn't do that, Ai Qing was worried that, given Xiao Yu's current state, he might raise her into a shut-in girl who only knew how to play games and read novels.

However, Ai Qing soon realized that she didn't need to worry.

"Brother, when will Xiaoyu be able to earn her own money?" Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask as they entered the elevator. "I also want to buy you a computer that can play games, so we can play together, okay?"

"There's no rush to make money." Ai Qing patted her head, feeling very pleased. "Xiao Yu, why don't you use what you've learned now to think about what ways you can make money right now?"

"Hmm..." This question stumped Xiaoyu. She frowned and fell into deep thought. "Can Xiaoyu write novels too?"

Chapter 109 Little Fish's Career Planning

Xiaoyu writes novels, well...

If it's simply about writing novels, then anyone who can read and write can try it.

This has a very low barrier to entry; anyone can write a few lines.

But to reach the threshold of making money, it's a case of "one man's success is built on the bones of countless others."

Every author who can make money by writing novels is standing on the corpses of countless failed authors.

Given Xiaoyu's current reading volume of only one of his novels and her limited literacy level (she's only been able to speak and read for a couple of months), writing a novel is really unrealistic for her.

However, Ai Qing did not directly discourage her confidence verbally, but simply said, "If you are interested, you can also try writing it, but I do have a suggestion."

"What suggestion?" Little Fish asked curiously.

"Little Fish, you can start by writing a diary," Ai Qing said with a smile. "Writing a diary can gradually improve your writing fluency, which I think is more suitable for you right now."

"What's a diary?" Little Fish tilted her head in confusion. "I remember my brother mentioning something like, 'What do you secretly write in a notebook every night?'"

“Yes, that’s it.” Ai Qing coughed twice and nodded. “A diary is something used to record one’s daily life and insights. It’s very easy to write.”

"For example, when I got home tonight, I wrote that I treated Sister Qian to Japanese food for lunch. But in the evening, Gui Gui dragged me to the same Japanese restaurant. His cousin's blind date was actually Lao Wu."

"After dinner, Gui Gui dragged me to an internet cafe to play games. Xiao Yu also wanted to come and play, so I decided to let her go out by herself and try it out."

The story also includes the secret of him disguising himself and secretly following Xiaoyu to protect her.

However, Ai Qing didn't say this part aloud.

"After that, Xiaoyu, you successfully arrived at the internet cafe and quickly learned how to play PUBG. You became a sharpshooter and dominated the battlefield. I never expected you to have such talent."

"In short, they are all trivial little things, just recording meaningful or interesting things that happen in my daily life."

"Oh, I see." Little Fish nodded in understanding, finding it quite interesting. "Then Little Fish wants to keep a diary too!"

"Okay, I'll try to buy you a nice diary when I have some free time these next couple of days, and you can write in it yourself."

"But..." Xiaoyu hesitated again, "Can you make money by writing a diary?"

"Um... I doubt it will work," Ai Qing said helplessly, surprised that Xiao Yu was still so obsessed with making money.

Unless it's a famous person's autobiography published in diary form, which might make money, an ordinary person's diary certainly has little economic value.

It might have some social value.

In any case, Ai Qing's own diary is definitely not something she can show to anyone.

"So, can Xiaoyu read her brother's diary?" As if sensing something, Xiaoyu asked Ai Qing this question.

When Ai Qing heard her ask such a question, she quickly shook her head and said, "That won't do. Diaries are very private things. You can't read other people's diaries, and others can't read yours."

"But brother can read Xiaoyu's diary, Xiaoyu doesn't mind," Xiaoyu said earnestly.

“That won’t work either.” Ai Qing smiled and patted her head. “Xiao Yu, you will have your own worries in the future, which you can’t just tell others, and you won’t tell me either, but you can write them in your diary.”

“Little Fish can tell her brother.”

"Why didn't you tell me about secretly reading my novel before?" Ai Qing chuckled. "I don't believe that's the only thing. There must be other things you're hiding from me."

Reminded by Ai Qing, Xiao Yu immediately remembered how she often sneaked into Ai Qing's closet to smell the scent when he wasn't home.
