A Young Woman's Heart

"Ah."

"Wanyan, shall we go to my godfather's house to play?"

"it is good."

"Let's watch some TV while we're at it. Oh, right, I haven't finished watching those DVDs I bought last time!" She excitedly ruffled Su Tang's hair. "Let's go, boss!"

"Okay, come again next time!"

"Pfft, will you be doing this again next time?"

"They'll all be there," the old man said with a smile, fiddling with the bottles and jars on his cart.

"Let's come back for dinner next time! It's delicious!" Mo Xueyao waved vigorously and walked down the slope with Li Wanyan.

They had originally planned to go up the mountain, but since it was raining and they didn't feel like moving after eating, they decided to go to their godfather's house to waste the rest of the day.

……

Chapter 130 The Stone Age

At her godfather's house, Yu Jinyu opened the door.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, you didn't go to your after-school class today?" Mo Xueyao rubbed her heels as she took off her shoes. "Where's your godfather?"

"I'm leaving now, I have afternoon classes." Yu Jinyu hugged Mo Xueyao. "Sister Xiaoyao, will you wait for me to come back?"

"Okay, what time will you be back?"

"Hmm... around six o'clock, probably."

"Then let's have dinner together when you get back."

"Mmm!" Yu Jinyu nodded excitedly, rubbing her fluffy little head against her belly.

"You've grown quite a bit taller." Mo Xueyao picked her up, spun her around, and then put her down.

The godmother was walking out with her bag on her back. When she saw Mo Xueyao and Li Wanyan, she smiled and said, "You're here to have fun? Help yourselves with the snacks and stuff. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll buy it for you when I come back."

Mo Xueyao was quite informal with her godparents, after all, they had known each other since childhood, and were even closer than many relatives: "Hmm, clams? I want to eat clams today."

"Okay, I'll go to the market later." The godmother touched Mo Xueyao's hair. "Your hair has grown quite a bit."

"Really? Hmm...it seems so." Mo Xueyao touched herself as well. "It's already up to my shoulders."

"Should I continue to keep my hair short?"

“Hmm… It’s winter, so I’ll keep my hair long.” Mo Xueyao hesitated slightly before answering, “Besides, Wanyan likes me with long hair too.”

"Pfft, yeah, I also think you look good with long hair. Okay, Xiaoyu and I are heading out now. Remember to stay for dinner tonight, don't leave early."

"Okay, okay, what's Godfather busy with?" Mo Xueyao asked as she walked to the closed door of the study.

"Him? He's playing games!"

"Playing games?"

"Yeah, how old are you? Still playing games."

"Hey, I'll go take a look!" Mo Xueyao immediately became excited, leaving Li Wanyan behind, and pushed open the study door and ran in.

Li Wanyan, who was behind her, politely greeted Mo Xueyao's godmother and followed her inside.

In the study, the godfather held a teacup in one hand and a mouse in the other, leisurely clicking on the screen.

"Godfather!"

"Hey, you're here to play!"

"Hmm, what are you playing?"

"Online games".

"Online games?"

"It's a game that can be played with many people at the same time."

As he was talking, the character he was controlling in the game entered battle.

The characters fight in turns, meaning you attack once and I attack once.

"What's the name of this game?" Mo Xueyao pulled up a chair and sat down next to him. "It looks pretty fun..."

"Stone Age, hey, that's really fun. If I get any good loot later, I can sell it."

Is it valuable?

"It depends on what kind of props they are. Anyway, if you play every day, you won't even need to pay for game time cards." The godfather took a sip of tea. "Oh, Wanyan, do you want to read any books? Just pick one from the shelf."

"Ah."

"This looks like a lot of fun..."

"Yeah, haha, your godmother is in charge of me, so I can't recharge my account with real money. I can only recharge some game cards to play. Sigh, I had my eye on a pet before, it cost more than 300 yuan, it's really powerful, I want to buy it too."

"That's so expensive, isn't it unnecessary..."

"Thinking about it carefully, it really isn't necessary." The godfather stood up from his chair. "I've been playing all day. Do you want to play? You can have it."

"It's okay, it's okay, you can play."

"What's the big deal? Go ahead and play. I know you love playing these kinds of games."

"Hehe." Mo Xueyao chuckled a few times shyly. "Um... then, can I play using your account?"

"Look at you, you can register a new account too. Uh, come on, sit down, I'll teach you how to register... I have extra email addresses."

Li Wanyan flipped through an economics book, while Mo Xueyao registered an account under her godfather's guidance.

“I have another game card.” He took out a recharge card from the drawer and showed her how to recharge it. “Well, now you have a game card, which is about sixty hours. That should be enough for you to play at your leisure.”

"That's enough. I don't have a computer at home, so I can only play here." Mo Xueyao started the game excitedly and curiously.

By the standards of that era, the game's graphics were incredibly exquisite, with every detail rendered perfectly and the colors vibrant. In comparison, the games in arcades were practically made up of large, pixelated blocks.

The game's plot guidance wasn't very clear, and sometimes she had to ask her godfather to know how to continue.

And after the initial storyline, there isn't much more to do, or rather, players enter a free-play mode where they can choose what they want to do.

"Next, you can either grind monsters for materials or catch pets. Uh, let me see... are you planning to use a sword?"

"Hmm... I haven't decided yet, what kind of weapons should I get?"

"Axes, clubs, claws... all sorts of things."

"Then I'll try out the claws."

"You can go to the NPC shop and buy a beginner's claw first, and then..."

Young people learn much faster than middle-aged people. In just half a day, Mo Xueyao had almost completely understood the game.

She no longer needs to ask her godfather questions; she can continue having fun on her own, and there's always plenty of entertainment and things to do.

Mo Xueyao, who had never played online games before, was almost addicted. Before she knew it, most of the day had passed. When she came to her senses, her godmother had already prepared dinner.

"Oh, it's so late?"

"Yeah, you've had a whole day of fun, haha, wasn't it great?"

"Hmm, it's quite fun..." Mo Xueyao said with some worry, "Thank goodness, I don't have a computer at home, otherwise I would have become addicted."

"Haha, it's good that you think that way."

"Let's come and play on the weekend then." Mo Xueyao breathed a sigh of relief. "We've had a lot of fun today."

"Okay, you can come and have fun on your own every weekend," the godfather laughed. "And if you get anything good, remember to give it to me."

"Alas."

"I'll top up your game card!"

“Okay! It’s a deal!” Mo Xueyao immediately agreed.

After all, game cards are quite expensive, and she'd be a little reluctant to actually spend the money on them in the game.

Actually, she could earn back the money she spent on game cards by playing on her own, but that would be repetitive work and a waste of time.

That way she can play without worry. If she gets lucky and suddenly gets a good item, she can just hand it over to her godfather. He definitely won't treat her badly.

"Time to eat! Stop playing!"

"Here it comes!"

Perhaps because Mo Xueyao was there, dinner was exceptionally lavish.

"I couldn't find clams, so I bought some oysters instead. Would you like some, Xiaoyao?"

"Huh? Of course I'll eat! Wow, oysters, so many!" After leaving the game, she realized she was hungry, and her mouth was watering. She couldn't wait to get a bowl of rice, pick up an oyster, dip it in soy sauce, and start eating.

My godmother even thoughtfully removed the shells, making it much easier to eat.

Beforehand, Li Wanyan had thoughtfully used her godfather's landline to call back home and tell Mo Xueyao's parents that she would be home late that day because she was having dinner at her godfather's house.

So there's no need to worry them right now.

After dinner, Yu Jinyu dragged the two of them to play house for a while—something Mo Xueyao was completely bad at, but Li Wanyan was able to play along with her.

"Sister Xiaoyao, you're a doctor now, I've come to see you for a medical consultation." Yu Jinyu placed a pet bear in front of Mo Xueyao.

"Hmm..." Mo Xueyao pretended to examine it with a toy stethoscope, "It's very healthy now, it'll be fine after a nap at home."

"No, it has a very serious illness and needs surgery!"

"Hmm, I don't think we need to."

"Yes, I want it!"

"Wait a minute, who is the doctor?"

"You!"

"So listen to me!"

Li Wanyan glanced helplessly at Mo Xueyao: "This doctor is new and not skilled enough. This bear has acute appendicitis, and we need to operate on it right away."
