I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

"Quickly lie back down, someone's coming. See, he's dead again!"

Seeing the green smoke on the screen, Bai Xiaoqi puffed out her cheeks and glared at him, "Don't talk when I'm playing games."

"You can't even say you're bad at cooking?"

Chen Shuo curled his lip and continued typing with his head down. This little brat doesn't know anything. Being the sixth brother is a good thing, but this girl is stubborn and insists on fighting with people. She doesn't understand the essence of this game at all.

Damn it, she lowered my account's K/D ratio and rank.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up and suggest, "Why don't you just stop playing games? This stuff is boring."

"No, I want to play!"

Bai Xiaoqi held the mouse angrily, refusing to accept his suggestion. She was no longer simply playing games; she was now driven by a desire to prove herself rather than compete for personal gain.

We all have guns, so why should I be the one who can't beat you?

"Fine, fine, go ahead and play, go ahead and play."

Chen Shuo felt bad for his account records. He had been careless and shouldn't have let her play games. She had only just started playing and was already showing signs of becoming an internet addict.

They started a new game. While parachuting, she remembered something and turned around, somewhat worriedly reminding her, "You're not allowed to talk and disturb me."

"Okay, I won't say."

Landed with a small pistol, headstrong and went straight for a gun, then landed dead and was eliminated, emitting green smoke.

Having witnessed everything, Chen Shuo's eyelids twitched twice. This was no fun at all; on the contrary, it was extremely uncomfortable.

"You should probably stop playing this game. No, if you really can't, you should try a different game. I don't think this game is right for you."

"What game should we switch to?"

Bai Xiaoqi wanted to refuse, but then she thought better of it and decided to listen to him tell her what kind of game it was.

She also felt that this lousy game wasn't right for her; what a piece of junk, a trash game.

"Change... um..."

Chen Shuo slapped his forehead, unsure which game to let her play. He had just mentioned it casually, hoping to salvage his account record.

"Go play Pokémon, yes, play Pokémon, it's perfect for you."

Pokémon?

"That's right, Pokémon, you know, Pokémon. Oh, sorry, you don't seem to have seen it. Wait a minute."

As he spoke, Chen Shuo got up and went back to the bedroom. He pulled out a cardboard box from under the bed and searched through it before finally finding the handheld console.

I haven't used it for almost two years, and it's covered in dust. I took it to the living room, found a tissue, and wiped it clean, but I don't know if it's broken or not.

It shouldn't be broken, because it can still be turned on. Bai Xiaoqi leaned closer with a curious look on her face. "What is this? Is it a cell phone?"

"It's not a cell phone, it's a handheld console, a Switch, a game console specifically designed for playing games. This thing is quite expensive, over two thousand."

"More than two thousand? That's so expensive!" Bai Xiaoqi exclaimed.

"Of course, it's ridiculously expensive."

"You still bought it even though it's expensive?"

"I didn't buy it; it was a gift from someone else."

As soon as he said it, Chen Shuo realized the atmosphere was off and quickly added, "It wasn't a woman, it was a man who gave it to me, my college roommate."

"Oh."

The atmosphere is right this time.

"Why did your roommate give you such an expensive gift?" Bai Xiaoqi asked again.

"You don't understand the world of the rich."

Chen Shuo could only explain it this way: he didn't know what the girls' dormitories were like, but the boys' dormitories were definitely filled with e-sports games, with each person having their own computer and playing together.

However, there was an oddball in his dorm when he was in college. His family was in the seafood business and he heard that they owned more than ten seafood markets. He was definitely a rich second-generation.

But as a rich second-generation, he neither chases girls nor goes to bars; he only plays games, and the games he plays are quite bizarre.

He doesn't play League of Legends or PUBG, he spends all his time playing Pokémon on his handheld console, and he's not a good fit for the group in the dorm.

He probably felt out of place, so he took out his own money to buy each of his roommates a Switch console, and then they all played Pokémon Sword and Shield together.

So much so that during that period, other dormitories were constantly shouting and yelling things like "Push the tower! Come to the top lane! Come to the mid lane! Last hit the minion wave! Jump to the warehouse! Come to G Port! I have a level 3 helmet!" and a whole host of other technical terms.

Their dorm was very harmonious; there was no shouting or yelling. At most, someone would say they had caught a certain Pokémon, or that their team was complete and they were ready to show off their amazing skills.

The handheld console only had one game, Pokémon Sword. Chen Shuo helped her register a new account, and after entering the game, he explained the specific operation to her. Then he handed the handheld console to Bai Xiaoqi and let her explore slowly by following the tutorial.

This game may seem childish, but it's not at all. In fact, Chen Shuo thinks it's perfect for her. The Pokémon in it are all cute, and you can catch them with Poké Balls, which is just right for a girl to play.

More importantly, she's terrible at the game, but this game doesn't require any skill at all.

Following the game's instructions, Bai Xiaoqi quickly arrived at the stage of choosing her starter Pokémon. Looking at the three little creatures, she hesitated for a long time before turning her head and asking, "This person is asking me to choose a Pokémon. Which one should I choose?"

"Choose that rabbit."

Chen Shuo was busy typing when he heard the question and answered it without thinking.

"rabbit..."

Bai Xiaoqi lowered her eyes to look at him, sensing that he was implying something. Usually, this bastard would call his private parts "rabbit," and he would usually add a "little" prefix.

Hmph, it's clearly not small!

Seeing that she remained silent for a while, Chen Shuo turned his head and said, "What are you thinking? What I meant was that the rabbit has good traits, and its Dream Ability is Free Spirit."

"..."

Bai Xiaoqi ignored him. She had originally planned to choose the rabbit, but now she didn't want to anymore. After hesitating for a moment, she chose the rattling monkey.

"I choose the monkey; this monkey is cute too."

“The monkeys are indeed cute now,” Chen Shuo glanced at the screen and added, “but that may not be the case in the future.”

What do you mean by "not certain in the future"?

"Because it will evolve, it will become..."

Chen Shuo stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, feeling that it wouldn't be good to give away spoilers; he wanted to leave her with some anticipation and mystery. "You'll find out when the time comes," he said.

"..."

Bai Xiaoqi stared at him for a couple of seconds, then looked at the monkey she had chosen. After thinking for a moment, she didn't ask any more questions and embarked on her journey with her little monkey.

She has now come to love the game. The art style is beautiful, the Pokémon are cute, and there's no need to worry about someone suddenly jumping out from somewhere and shooting at you with a gun.

A wild green caterpillar jumped out...

.......

She decided to retract her previous thought; things could suddenly pop up in this game.

Chapter 112 No!

As evening approached, Chen Shuo finished his writing task for the day, closed his laptop, turned around and saw Bai Xiaoqi still playing games on her handheld console. He reminded her, "You can't play games all the time. You need to balance work and rest."

"I've had class today, practiced my calligraphy, and finished my studies. Now it's my free time."

I was worried it would hurt your eyes.

"My eyes don't hurt."

"Then you can play."

What could Chen Shuo say? He got up and went to the bathroom. When he came out, he checked her game progress. She was progressing very slowly. She hadn't even attacked the first shrine yet. She was just wandering around in the grass, trying to catch her favorite Pokémon with Poké Balls.

Her criteria for liking someone are very simple: she doesn't care about the intensity of the performance, only about their appearance.

Chen Shuo pulled her legs into his arms and was about to touch her little feet when he saw that she didn't seem to notice his movements and was still focused on playing the game. He couldn't help but sigh, a sentiment that all parents would have.

"If only you studied this hard."

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoqi looked up, about to retort, but after opening and closing her lips a few times, she realized that she couldn't refute it. She realized that she hadn't been studying as diligently as she was now, so she simply said, "But I have been studying very hard."

Well, they've already mastered the fandom slang without any instruction. Do you know how hard our idol works? He had a fever of 250 degrees Celsius and still insisted on rehearsing. Even when his fingers were scraped raw, he didn't call an ambulance to take him to the hospital.

Chen Shuo sighed inwardly for a few seconds, then continued, "Simply putting in effort doesn't mean anything; you have to look at the results. The same applies to learning."

You study five days a week, but your progress is slow. This indicates that your efforts are misdirected, or that you're not studying seriously; you're only appearing to be working hard.

"No, I really am trying."

Where are the results of your efforts?

"Hoeing the fields at noon, sweat drips onto the soil; who knows that every grain in the bowl is the result of hard work? I just memorized this today."

Damn it...

Looking at her smug little face, Chen Shuo pressed down slightly on the soles of her feet. Bai Xiaoqi couldn't help but let out a soft snort and frowned, saying, "What are you doing?"

"I'm not doing anything, I just want to tell you to stop being so arrogant. Memorizing a poem is nothing special. If you're so capable, I'll give you a math problem to solve."

"No way! It's after school now. If I do math problems, it's like I'm working overtime. That's capitalist behavior. You're so disgusting."

Bai Xiaoqi got scared, lowered her head and continued playing the game, ignoring the person. She was happily playing the game, but this bastard wanted to torture her with math problems. What a jerk.

.......

Chen Shuo had a headache. He never expected that he would one day have the good fortune to become a capitalist. Too lazy to waste any more words with her, he took out his phone from his pocket to order takeout.

Even someone with such strong self-control can't resist the corrupting influence of games, so this girl's self-control is already quite poor.

Judging from how engrossed she is, she probably isn't planning on cooking dinner tonight.

"I'm ordering takeout, what would you like to eat?"

Bai Xiaoqi checked the time; it was a little past five in the afternoon. "Are you hungry now?"

"I'm not very hungry now, but I'll be hungry again when the takeout arrives."

"Then I'll go cook in a bit."

"..."

Chen Shuo retracted his previous thought. Little A Miao was quite self-controlled; she hadn't become addicted and even knew how to cook. She deserved a reward.
