Zongman: Even if I am reborn, I still want to live my daily life

"I'm glad you like it. Isn't it completely different from the version without voice acting that you played before?"

"Yes, the voice acting is such a great addition, especially your and Xiao Qi Hai's voice acting, which is much better than the other voice actors. I can really get into the story! It really adds a lot to the already great plot!" Yang Kui said excitedly to Gao Yu Mo.

"That's right, don't you see who I am!"

"Hey, be more humble." Yang Kui patted him, but her tone sounded like she was just teasing him.

"By the way, did you see the message I sent on the chat app? Can it be released on Saturday?" Gao Yumo asked about another important matter.

Yang Kui rolled her eyes at him, grabbed Gao Yumo's head with both hands, and ruffled it a few times: "You're only asking now! You should have called me back then!"

"Is it not working?" Gao Yumo immediately became nervous. Was the time too short? Was he too confident?

"Of course not." Then he watched Yang Kui withdraw her hand, and said gently again, "I was talking about why you didn't call me to inform me of such an important matter. As for the arrangements you mentioned, I've already given the orders. Ayano should know. Didn't she tell you? I had my subordinates contact her."

Yang Kui was genuinely angry, or rather disappointed, because Xiao Mo hadn't told her such an important thing directly, but instead sent a text message. Shouldn't he have called her directly to share the good news? Even if she wasn't the first to know, she should have been one of the first, right?

But in fact, she only found out after Gao Yumo sent those messages. For the Gao Yu family, such things were very simple, even if it only took a day or two. After all, the country is only so big, and it wouldn't take long to prepare stores across the country. There was even less of a rush for physical copies of the game. The entertainment industry was a large and highly professional sector within the Gao Yu family's business.

"Ayano? She didn't say anything. This guy definitely has some kind of twisted sense of humor!"

"Isn't that what I learned from you?" Yang Kui said with a rare sharp tongue, and it was clear that she was really angry.

Gao Yumo immediately noticed that Yang Kui's mood was off and figured out the reason, after all, she knew Yang Kui very well, just as Yang Kui knew him very well.

"I didn't call you because I was afraid of disturbing your work. Next time, I promise I'll send it to you as soon as I finish anything, and then call you, okay?" Gao Yumo said apologetically to Yang Kui. This was just her throwing a childish tantrum. She would only treat herself like this.

"It's settled." Yang Kui's mood immediately returned to normal.

"It's settled." Gao Yumo nodded heavily. It seems that he is more important than his work. But that's for sure. Since Yang Kui doesn't mind, then Gao Yumo won't mind either.

"The game will be released at Weekly Comic Bookstore on Saturday, there will definitely be no problem. This is indeed a great idea. There will definitely be a lot of people there, so I have prepared a lot of stock. I'm not worried about it selling out."

Yang Kui looked pleased with herself and smiled. Seeing Gao Yumo's apology, she immediately stopped caring. She knew that Gao Yumo would definitely inform her right away. She wasn't really that bothered by it, but she just wanted to chat with Xiao Mo more and find more opportunities. This was an opportunity that could be had more often. After all, she was really too busy and it was difficult for her to come home often. At most, she could only come a few times a month. She was not satisfied at all!

"Yang Kui, you did a great job! As for the ones that don't sell out, you can put them online and sell them on the official website. People who usually buy them online will buy the digital version. There might be fewer physical copies, but there will still be some, since there are always players who like to collect."

"I'll talk to Kaguya about this. What do you think about training Kaguya to be the next successor of our family?" Yang Kui said with a smile, revealing something that surprised Gao Yumo.

"Are you serious? It's not that Kaguya can't do it well, but won't the Shinomiya family say anything about it?" Gao Yumo scratched his head. The Shinomiya family is indeed getting worse and worse, but even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and things will definitely not be peaceful in the future.

"Hehe, you don't need to worry about that. Let's just say whether you agree or not. After all, you don't want to inherit the family, right? Then your fiancée is perfect, isn't she? And I believe Kaguya can do a good job. As for the Shinomiya family, you don't need to worry about them at all. By the time Kaguya inherits, they might not even exist anymore. After all, it's still a long, long time away, isn't it?"

Gao Yumo understood a lot from Yang Kui's words. He smiled and realized that Yang Kui was even more ambitious and courageous than he had imagined.

"I have no objection, but you should be careful."

"Of course! Your grandmother and I will make thorough preparations. Moreover, the Shinomiya family is currently the weakest of the four major families. It's not just our family that wants to take over their territory."

"In short, be careful." Gao Yumo paused for a moment. This was one of the reasons why he didn't want to inherit the family business. It was too troublesome. He preferred a more mundane life. However, he wouldn't mind if his family became stronger, since it would be good for him too, wouldn't it?

Gao Yumo will have Li Zi keep an eye on Yang Kui, and there's actually a hidden door on Yang Kui's phone that Gao Yumo placed there to ensure her safety. However, this hidden door needs to be upgraded, so it seems she needs to find a way to improve her programming skills.

"Alright, let's not talk about this boring work anymore. Tell me quickly what the surprise you mentioned was for me when I came back?" Yang Kui saw that Gao Yumo's expression had become serious, and knew that he had also started to think about things that he didn't like in the first place, so she quickly changed the subject.

Isn't her existence solely for Xiao Mo's sake, to give her a better life? Then she won't let Xiao Mo worry about those things; she'll take care of everything!

"Okay." Gao Yumo smiled, knowing what Yang Kui meant, and went along with her. But Gao Yumo already had a series of ideas to help her complete her task. She could only apologize to the Shinomiya family, but they really had too much dirt on them. For Gao Yumo, who had the world's number one hacker skills, finding it would be too easy.

Of course, many of these are on computers that aren't connected to the internet; they're definitely on paper, USB, etc. But there are still examples, right? It can still be said to be very simple.

He wanted to end it all before Yang Kui was in any danger, and that was easy for him.

Upon arriving in the kitchen, Yang Kui was eagerly anticipating what surprise Xiao Mo had mentioned. Although she had already seen it in the group chat—after all, the girls couldn't possibly avoid mentioning Yang Kui when chatting in the group, right?—this surprise was already something she knew about.

But Yang Kui was still very much looking forward to it. She had already come up with a story, and it was just a matter of whether Xiao Mo would agree to it.

"I can tell from your expression that you already know," Gao Yumo said to Yang Kui as she prepared ingredients in the kitchen.

Yang Kui rubbed her face: "Is it that obvious?"

“It’s obvious.” Gao Yumo nodded, but it wasn’t actually that obvious. He just knew all along that Yang Kui definitely knew, plus his understanding of Yang Kui.

"What kind of story do you want? You must have already decided, right? Let's enter the illusion together and experience it."

Yang Kui hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to speak.

Gao Yumo didn't urge him, and waited quietly.

"Your name, let's experience your name once." Yang Kui finally said it, and then she didn't dare to look at Xiao Mo. She was worried that she would see a bad expression on Xiao Mo's face.

Gao Yumo's expression was full of amusement. Was it what he thought? Right? He thought he was the only one with those thoughts, but it turns out it wasn't? It wasn't one-sided all along?

"No problem," Gao Yumo said calmly, turning around to prepare for the process.

"Mmm." Yang Kui only hummed in response, and her face turned red immediately after Gao Yumo turned away!

What is she thinking! But she did suddenly think of this story. Before, she just wanted to play this game with Xiao Mo alone once, but now she really wanted to experience it with Xiao Mo.

It's good that Xiao Mo agreed.

She realized then that she wasn't the only one who thought that way.

At this moment, their thoughts finally aligned. The two, who had previously thought it was just their own immature idea, realized that the other actually thought the same way. That was wonderful!

As for the rest? Who cares? They certainly don't.

Ethics? Does that matter to two people who are not related by blood? No.

They are the two people who understand each other best and like each other the most, so everything is inevitable, isn't it?

One thing is certain: we can't let others know for now, because this is something not everyone can accept.

Chapter 237 Another Breakthrough Skill! (3rd update, 4000 words)

When the girls brought Jixiang and Xueqiu downstairs to the living room to look for Gao Yumo, they found that he was not there.

"He should be in the kitchen; it's time for his brother to cook," Sakura reminded them. The girls nodded in agreement, and after leaving Jixiang and Xueqiu in the living room, they all headed to the kitchen.

Then they saw Gao Yumo and Yang Kui sitting on chairs in the restaurant, looking at each other in a strange atmosphere. The girls couldn't figure out what it meant.

On the table next to them were two bowls of double-skin milk pudding, probably to let Aunt Yang Kui experience the illusion.

As for why it's still double-skin milk pudding, it's probably because Aunt Yangkui has never tried it before.

"Mom! You're back!" Umaru shouted as she ran towards Yang Kui the moment she saw her.

"Huh? Yes! I'm back!" Yang Kui paused for a moment for some reason, then came to her senses, hugged Xiao Mai who ran over, and smiled gently.

The girls sensed something was off, but couldn't quite put their finger on it, so they didn't dwell on it. After all, that strange feeling had vanished the moment they felt it, so maybe it was just their imagination? That's what the girls all thought, and they continued to believe that until they talked to each other.

Chestnut, the only one who knew what had happened, was completely stunned. Could such a thing really happen? Even though it was an illusion.

But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed like there really wasn't anything wrong. After all, although some of the people in this family were addressed that way, none of them were actually related by blood, so it seemed like there really was nothing to worry about. She decided to stop worrying about it and just pretend she didn't know anything.

"Mom, have you experienced the illusion yet? How did it feel? Was it particularly novel and fun?" Yuki walked over and asked Yang Kui.

"It was really fun, and I was very touched. The story I chose was really great." Yang Kui smiled happily, and it was clear that she meant it. She was genuinely happy. Gao Yumo, who was next to her, smiled when he heard this. He was also very happy. This time, it was more memorable than the previous two illusions!

"What story did Mom choose?" Sagiri asked.

"It's a secret! You'll find out later." Yang Kui smiled mysteriously and winked at Sagiri.

“Oh.” Sagiri nodded obediently.

Most of the girls stared at Gao Yumo speechlessly. How did Gao Yumo manage to pass on the secret-keeping technique to Aunt Yang Kui?

"Let me introduce you. This is Yang Kui. I've mentioned her to you before, so you should remember her, right?" Gao Yumo introduced her to the girls who had just moved in.

"Hello, Aunt Yangkui," Deng greeted Yangkui in a very familiar manner. Yangkui looked at her and thought, "This child is so lively. That's good. I like this kind of personality."

The others also greeted Yang Kui. Sophie and Tsukuyomi called her "Ms. Yang Kui," since it wouldn't be appropriate to call them "Auntie" given their age.

"Hello, you are all wonderful girls. Please take good care of Xiao Mo from now on. Thank you." Yang Kui said to them with a smile.

“It’s Mo who’s taking care of us.” Sophie shook her head; she was the one who had always been taken care of.

"Alright, you guys chat, I'm going to cook." Gao Yumo stood up and walked towards the kitchen, stopping the girls who wanted to help. "Yang Kui is back today, you guys chat with her more, I'll cook dinner by myself."

“Okay.” Sakura nodded; she really wanted to talk to her mother more.

"These two must be Gao Yumo's dog and cat, named Jixiang and Xueqiu, right?" Everyone had come over to the living room, and Yang Kui also saw the cat and dog playing in the living room.

"Woof?" (Who are you?)

"Meow?" (I don't know, let's ask Chestnut.)

"She's my mother," Chestnut answered them.

"Woof!" (Mommy!)

"Meow!" (Whose mother is this, Mo's?)

"It belongs to all of us." Chestnut continued, which made sense, since they had indeed already called Yang Kui "Mom" to Gao Yumo, though most of them didn't have the guts, or rather, their relationship hadn't fully reached that level yet.

Yang Naike just called Yang Kui "Mom," which startled Yang Kui!

However, after explaining, Yang Kui smiled broadly and started chatting with Yang Nai beside her; she was clearly very happy.

"Kaguya and Ai are already...?" Yang Kui only learned about this during her conversation with Yang Nai.

"Yes, Mom." Kaguya answered Yang Kui somewhat shyly. She felt unconsciously embarrassed to talk about those kinds of things when she was with Yang Kui.

She had just nodded when Yang Kui, overjoyed, hugged her tightly.

"We've finally become a real family! You know what I mean." Yang Kui rubbed Kaguya's head. This day had finally come!

"Yes." Kaguya's face turned even redder, while Hayasaka Ai, standing next to her, covered her mouth and chuckled. She knew that the young lady was not good at talking to Yang Kui's mother, and this situation made it even worse.

The girls around them were actually quite envious of Kaguya and Aunt Hyouku's interaction; they envied them in every way!

However, they could all do it, but they were all looking for the right time, and it was not advisable to do it too close together. After doing it once, the girls would spontaneously wait, allowing Gao Yumo and the girls who already had experience to get to know each other better, and also to allow them to slow down.

Of course, there are also people who already have a complete plan and are just waiting for the right opportunity. I won't say who they are; those who know, know.

In the kitchen, Gao Yumo cooked while thinking about what had just happened in the illusion.

His expression was more joyful than ever before!

I feel like my cooking skills are different now. Today's meal must taste even better. When I'm in a good mood, the food I cook tastes better too, since a good mood is infused into it, right?

Of course, Gao Yumo didn't use his special ability; it was just a description.

"Huh huh huh~"

If any girls came over, they would have noticed that Gao Yumo was in a really, really good mood. They would definitely be curious about the reason, but unfortunately, they wouldn't know the reason for a long time.

"Dinner's ready! Welcome Yang Kui home again!"

"Oh!"

"Welcome home, Mom."

"Aunt Yang Kui should come back more often!"

The girls all raised their glasses, happy for Yang Kui's return home. Not one of the girls disliked Yang Kui; they all liked her, and Yang Kui liked them too.

"I will. I'll come back often in the future, and try to come back once a week." Yang Kui also raised her glass. The girls were drinking juice, but she and Ayano were drinking beer. Oh, and Yang Kui was also there. She was just old enough to drink alcohol, while Kagami, who was also of age, declined their invitation and drank juice instead.

The three of them were originally going to drink beer, but Ayano insisted on drinking with Aoi and Aoi. After a while, they finally gave in. They figured they could just drink a little and not get drunk from one bottle, right? They were just planning to drink one bottle each, just for the atmosphere.

"That's great!" Sagiri exclaimed happily. "It would be wonderful if Mom could come back more often."

“Yes, Yang Kui, you come back often, and we can see our games and comics more often. We missed a lot while you were away,” Gao Yumo said with a smile.

"Indeed, it's a real pity to have missed it. I'll make up for it tonight."

"Alright, let's start eating! I felt really good at cooking today, so it might taste even better!" Gao Yumo gestured for everyone to start eating, and they could chat while they ate.

The girls and Yang Kui started eating, but Yang Kui's attention had been focused on Sophie from the beginning. Although she already knew that Sophie was a vampire from their earlier conversation, since Sophie never hid it, seeing her in person was still very novel and interesting.

But is it stir-fried pig's blood? So vampires don't need to drink human blood? Yang Kui thought that while they were eating dinner, Sophie was just casually finding a willing girl, or Gao Yumo, to have a taste of her blood.

“She didn’t want me to inhale it, so there was nothing I could do,” Gao Yumo suddenly said from the side. Yang Kui was stunned and looked at him.

"I guess what you're thinking, after all, I've thought about it too." Gao Yumo took a bite of food and chatted quietly with Yang Kui.

"She doesn't want to? Is she really a vampire? Someone who doesn't drink human blood?"

“We’ve all been curious about this.” Umaru joined the conversation. This was probably the first thing that all the girls found out about, right?

Sophie ate while unsure what to say, but she could hear them! Although Gao Yumo and Yang Kui were talking softly, Sophie was a vampire with very strong senses. Was she really that strange? Perhaps she could give it a try?

She must have drunk human blood directly before, after all, in the days before the internet was developed, where could you buy human blood online? When she was hungry, of course she would look for humans, but after so many years, she had almost forgotten what it felt like, which is why she was somewhat resistant. But since they all wanted to try it, then let's give it a try.

Let's try Gao Yumo first; he'll definitely be willing. In fact, he seems quite disappointed that I'm not taking his blood...
