Gabriel hesitated. Should she watch it? But she really wanted to see what kind of game it was. Gao Yumo's games must be really fun.

Just as I was hesitating, Yuki came over and took the U: "I'll take it. Knowing my brother as I do, his smile just now means that the thing inside is definitely not that scary, but he wants us to think it is. What a twisted sense of humor."

As she spoke, she walked over to the computer and plugged in the USB. The girls, upon hearing this, suddenly realized that this was indeed Gao Yumo's style. She was using the lingering horror of "Tomie" to make them think that this was also very scary, and then observing their reactions.

Gao Yumo shook his head regretfully. This was what happened when the girls got too familiar with him; they saw through him immediately. "Okay, it's true what Youxi said. You guys open it and take a look. This game is just a small game. After all, I finished it so quickly, so it won't be that big. But the content is still quite rich, and it's very fun."

Yuki opened the U-file, looked at the only file inside, and read it aloud: "Plants vs. Zombies? Is this it?"

She opened it both times today; Yuki is really brave.

"Hurry up and open it!" Gabriel couldn't stand it anymore, and neither could Umaru. They had completely forgotten the fright they had just experienced. Their love for the game had outweighed the shock that "Tomie" had given them.

The other family members weren't as fond of playing games as they were, but they were still very interested, so Yuki opened the file and then launched the game.

The music started playing immediately. They listened to the game's sound effects, which were quite atmospheric. Gao Yumo recognized it immediately; he had completely recreated the game's startup sound effects from memory. However, the game wasn't entirely the same, as it was a remade game and needed to reflect his own unique style, but the overall changes were minor.

The game started, and looking at the startup screen, the girls knew Yuki had guessed right. It was a slightly modified version of the game, and the zombies were also in a slightly modified form. It sounded scary, but it didn't look scary at all, and the plants were actually quite cute. But how did these plants fight off the zombies? They were very curious.

"So my brother was lying to us just now." Umaru was a little angry, but she also nudged Yuki, asking her to give up her seat. Yuki didn't really like playing games, so she would play instead! Yuki smiled and gave up her seat to Umaru, thinking she could play later.

Gabrielle also wanted to play, although she preferred online games, but she had a lot of confidence in Gao Yumo, believing that the game he made would definitely be fun.

Umaru started the game right away. The moment she clicked "start game," a zombie's arm suddenly emerged from the dirt next to her, accompanied by some scary sound effects. Hahaha, it gave Umaru, who had just thought the game wasn't scary, a fright.

"ah!"

That's exactly what we want: first lower their guard, then suddenly give them a scare!

The girls were all staring at the computer screen, and more than half of them were startled. Sagiri even almost fell to the ground. Now she is glaring angrily at Gao Yumo. "Brother is so annoying!"

"Okay, okay, that's all. This game really isn't scary anymore." Gao Yumo, glared at by the girls, quickly raised his hands in surrender. This was something that was already in Plants vs. Zombies, after all. He had just diverted the girls' attention, which was just going with the flow.

"Hmph!" Umaru snorted, but still looked at the screen and started the game.

I quickly got hooked. Just like my brother said, this game is really fun and simple. Both the art style and gameplay are suitable for all ages. The tutorial is also very good, the difficulty is just right, and it's very creative. Using plants to fight zombies is a novel idea.

Even Kaguya, who had never played the game before, was quite engrossed in watching it, and it seemed she wanted to give it a try. She thought she could probably handle the difficulty level.

"It's not good for all of you to crowd in front of my computer. I'll send it to you, and you can play on your own computers," Gao Yumo suggested, seeing that they all wanted to play but could only watch.

They realized what was happening and nodded. Gabrielle was the most excited: "Then let's hurry!"

Chapter 126 Homemade Chat Software (4th Update)

"Don't rush, I just made a chat app myself. I'll send it to you. This app has excellent security, and you can chat with each other in it. It has all the functions you need, and I've included them all. Of course, you can also tell me if there are any functions you need, and I can add them." Gao Yumo said, taking out his phone and tapping it. He had already prepared the program for sending it, and only needed to click the last button.

"I'll send the software directly to your phones, and you can just install it. As for the game, I'll just put it in the group files of the only large group in our software, and you can download it yourselves."

The girls all took out their phones and looked at them. Kaguya finally had a smartphone. Hayasaka Ai had been teaching her how to use it, so Kaguya knew a little bit now. Of course, Hayasaka Ai was standing right next to her, so it didn't matter if she didn't know how; Hayasaka Ai could help her. This was Kaguya's only weakness.

The girls were looking at their phones when a pop-up window appeared, asking if they wanted to download an app. The pop-up also featured a portrait of the girls, each with their own unique image, all beautifully drawn, which immediately caught the girls' attention.

"Putting aside the software, what's with this character design? Send it to us too!" Eriri said excitedly. The drawing is so good, she wants to collect it!

"After you download it, your profile picture will be this one, which is helpful for recognizing people. You can save it if you want," Gao Yumo explained with a smile. The girls all downloaded it immediately, not just for the game, but also for the profile picture.

"I'm so cute." Mashiro hesitated to click the download button, probably because she didn't know how. Anyway, she was quite engrossed in looking at her own image, so Nanami next to her clicked the download button for her.

The girls didn't care why Gao Yumo could send each of them a pop-up with their individual character images. They all knew that Gao Yumo was very good at programming. Just like before, he had asked Hayasaka Ai to do the club's programming with him. Now, Gao Yumo was the one who did the software part of the game, and Hayasaka Ai hadn't even had a chance to use it.

However, Gao Yumo definitely can't do everything alone later. She still needs to give the others a chance. Otherwise, Hayasaka Ai probably wouldn't be happy. How can you change what you've agreed to? Hayasaka Ai actually wants to help the young master, just like Kaname. She considers herself Kaguya's maid, but in her heart, she also considers herself Gao Yumo's maid. However, until the young master and young lady's relationship reaches the final step, she can only accept this in her heart.

That said, after the girls downloaded the app, they all quickly opened it to take a look. The white page was very simple, and the profile pictures were indeed their own individual images. They all quickly opened and saved them to their phones. They were so cute! Even though they were their own pictures, I still have to say, they were so cute!

At the bottom, there are only three sections. One is the current information, which contains only one group. After clicking on it, you can see that the group includes all of them. The name must have been chosen by Gao Yumo. It's called "A Loving Family," a very strange name that drew unanimous complaints from the girls. Gao Yumo could only say that it was indeed his quirky sense of humor. If the girls wanted to change it, they could contact him.

The second column is for contacts. Clicking on it will show the phone numbers of the other girls in the family. You can click to chat or make video calls; this is for private chat.

The third column contains miscellaneous items, such as settings and files. There's nothing there for now, but Gao Yumo said that any new content will be added here later.

It's very simple, but after some trial and error, they realized it was indeed very convenient. At least, it had everything that the mainstream chat software they used had, and it was all integrated into one software, which was very convenient.

“This software will be our home's dedicated software from now on. I’ve specifically enhanced its security; no one can see the messages we send, so you can chat about whatever you want. Unlike those other software programs outside, which might allow your information to be stolen,” Gao Yumo said. The purpose of this software is security, after all, he knows those companies very well. “I’ve also sent you the account and password for this software via private message. You don’t need to memorize them. The account is 123456, and the password is your birthday. Don’t worry about your account or password being leaked either; only people on my whitelist can log in.”

Vinette actually wanted to ask if it was really okay for her to join. She was just staying here temporarily, after all, with the family software and group chat. But seeing that Gabriel, Raphiel, and Satania hadn't said anything, she didn't ask. However, she probably didn't realize that, apart from her, all the people she was thinking of had already had some kind of relationship with Gao Yumo. Only she and Gao Yumo hadn't had anything happen between them yet. Of the four angels and demons, she was the only one who might still have doubts.

Another person with questions was Nanami, but just as she was about to ask, Mashiro grabbed her sleeve and shook her head, so she stopped asking what she was going to ask. What did Mashiro want to say?

"What if the phone is being monitored?" Hayasaka Ai asked, as she was very knowledgeable about this topic and that's why she was able to ask such a question.

"After installing this software, that won't happen anymore. It's like a protective shield for your phones. Your phones won't be at any risk of being exposed anymore, so don't worry," Gao Yumo said with a smile. Hayasaka Ai was playing the straight man, bringing up exactly what he wanted to say.

The girls nodded, not really caring about it. After all, who would steal their information for no reason? They were just too naive. However, they thought it was good to have this software. At least it made chatting much more convenient for them. The more they used the software, the more comfortable they became with it. They gradually discovered that it had more functions than the software they usually used. Moreover, Gao Yumo had said that they could ask him for any function they wanted.

"Furthermore, you can connect your phones and computers with this software installed. Once connected, you can directly transfer the software between your phone and computer, and it will appear directly on your computer," Gao Yumo continued. This time, he was using Plants vs. Zombies to legitimately install the software he had developed over the past few days on the girls, which could also be considered a form of protection for them.

"So convenient!" Gabriel exclaimed and ran off. "I'm going to try it right away."

Umaru watched her run away, and then ran away too.

"Alright, you all go try it." Gao Yumo also encouraged the other girls to give it a try. That concluded today's events. Whether or not to go out and play tomorrow, they could discuss it at lunchtime.

Chapter 127 This is truly a wonderful beginning! (1st update)

Gao Yumo returned to her room and looked at her phone. Ever since she sent them the chat software, their chat messages had been popping up in the only group chat.

The girls started chatting. Even though they were all at home, how could they not use something new?

Gabriel: "Connecting to the computer is so convenient! I thought it would use a data cable, but after I brought it over, the software recognized my computer, and then the software appeared on my computer. How did that work?"

Doma Umaru: "I don't know, but it's the same here. I even tried a different laptop, but it didn't appear. The software only appears on the computer I usually use. How did you do that, bro? Gao Yumo?"

Gao Yumo: "I won't tell you." This was followed by a meme of Umaru, which Gao Yumo made herself. It was a picture of Umaru making a funny face, and the accompanying image was meant to annoy you.

Doma Umaru: "Ah! Why is it my picture? Where did you get it, brother?! And what's with this emoji?!"

Yuki Suo: "You took such a great photo, brother. Can I have a copy of the emoji?"

Doma Umaru: "No! My brother won't allow it!"

Xiaomai looked at her phone anxiously. If she gave this emoji to someone else, wouldn't everyone be using it? Was she going to have to look at this picture every day?

Yuki Suo: "No need, I found I can save it directly." (Image: Umaru-chan is so annoying.JPG)

Doma Umaru: "Ah! No!"

The other girls also discovered their chat history, and one by one they saved the meme and tried it out. It was so funny that Umaru was about to have a meltdown.

Sakura: "Brother, do you have any other people's emoji packs?"

Just as everyone was sending Umaru-chan emojis, Sakura's words caused an immediate silence in the group chat. The girls holding their phones looked at them nervously. They were happy sending Umaru-chan emojis, but what if someone else sent them theirs? Especially if it was an ugly picture of them making funny faces?

They weren't sure if Gao Yumo had such photos. Didn't Xiaomai know when these photos were taken of her?

Unfortunately, their phones suddenly rang.

Gao Yumo: "You can download it yourselves. It will be saved directly in your software after downloading." (Followed by the file name.)

The girl knew that with Gao Yumo's perverse sense of humor, how could he not have it?

They still clicked on them and looked at them. They were all their emojis, basic emojis like surprised and happy. Everyone had them, no one was an exception. But not everyone had an ugly photo. In fact, most of them were normal photos. They breathed a sigh of relief. Moreover, not everyone had special emojis. Most of them were the basic ones. It was normal for Gao Yumo to have these kinds of photos. They could accept these kinds of emojis. They didn't mind even if she used her own emojis.

Umaru: "Yuki, look at this!" Yuki-nii wakes up.JPG, with a picture of Yuki sitting on Gao Yumo, wearing a very thin nightgown, and the caption "Wake up."

Yuki Suo: "Are there any more photos like this of me? How did you take them, brother?"

It's obvious that Yuki doesn't care if this kind of thing is known; what she wants to know is how Gao Yumo took the photos. Apart from a few naive girls who have only been there for a few days, who doesn't know about this? (Specifically referring to Vinette and Nanami)

Gao Yumo: "That's hand speed, don't you understand?"

The girls didn't really understand, but they knew that Gao Yumo had taken the photos herself, though they didn't know how she took them.

Gabriel: "Look, I'm about to pass the first major level!" The picture she posted was a screenshot of her computer screen taken with her phone. She had already reached level 1-9. As for how she knew she was about to pass the first major level, she had asked Gao Yumo about it. To show off, she had specifically asked Gao Yumo in a private message how many sub-levels were in each major level.

Umaru Doma: Umaru's surprise.JPG: "So fast! I want to play too, I'm not talking to you guys anymore."

The girls all said they were going to play in the group chat, and the chat quickly fell silent as the girls who were just chatting went off to play games.

Even Kaguya had Hayasaka Ai download it for her, and then had Hayasaka Ai teach her how to play it. It was rare for Kaguya to be interested in the game, probably mainly because it was a game made by Takahata Momo, and it looked relatively simple, so Kaguya thought she could do it too.

Gao Yumo was very curious about who would be the first to defeat Dr. Zomboss and clear the game. She decided to guess between Gabriel and Umaru. Although Gabriel was currently in the lead, Umaru had a stronger talent for playing games.

We'll probably see the results today. The other girls might play for a while and then go do other things, but the two of them will definitely play until night. After all, they don't have anything else to do. When there's a fun game to play, Umaru's drawing practice time will definitely give way to the game. That's Umaru for you.

..

Lunchtime arrived quickly. Now, instead of having Nami go upstairs to call the girls down for lunch one by one, everyone could just say it in the chat app.

"This app is really convenient, at least it makes it much easier to notify you when it's time to eat," Kaguya said with a smile. Although she doesn't need to be called when she eats, as she usually comes to the restaurant on her own around the same time, there are quite a few girls who are serious procrastinators.

Even now, despite Gao Yumo calling everyone in the group chat, some people still haven't come down, including Gabriel and Winette.

It's obvious that Vignette is trying to drag Gabriel down right now, but Gabriel, who's playing a game, isn't someone to be trifled with, so it's not easy to pull her along.

Gao Yumo picked up her phone and sent a private message to Gabriel.

A minute later, the two appeared in the restaurant. Gabriel brought Winette down with her, and judging from their panting, the fight in Gabriel's room must have been intense...

"Why didn't you come if we didn't use this method? You've made so many people wait for you!" Gao Yumo said to Gabriel in a serious tone. Gabriel shrank back, feeling a sense of dread, as if she were seeing her older sister.

"No, no, I know, I'll come earlier from now on." Gabriel quickly backed down. The message Gao Yumo just sent her wasn't just about confiscating her computer, but that if she did it again, he would send Raphiel to the Heavenly Realm to call her sister down. The consequences of that were even more terrifying than confiscating her computer.

Gabrielle has decided to behave for a while and avoid making Gao Yumo angry or provoke Vinette. Vinette just tried to smash her computer to physically stop her from playing games.

What happened just now was different from what Gao Yumo had imagined, or rather, it started the same but then changed.

After Winette called Gabriel but received no response, she lost her temper and tried to smash Gabriel's computer. Gabriel quickly stopped her, and the two of them arrived too late.

"Vinette, you've worked hard," Gao Yumo said to Vinette. Looking at her somewhat tired face, Gao Yumo glared at Gabriel.

The girls were used to this kind of thing; Umaru used to be like that too. Now, Gabriel gave them the feeling of seeing an older brother disciplining his younger sister. Umaru also felt it was familiar, scratched her head, and grinned foolishly.

"Alright, let's eat. Everyone's here. Today, to celebrate the huge popularity of my comic just being published, I've prepared such a big feast."

Gao Yumo smiled again. He wasn't actually angry; he just needed to be stricter with Gabriel. Who knew when her sister might suddenly appear? This was actually helping Gabriel, making her receive less of her sister's affection. Otherwise, when her sister came, she would suffer.

The girls smiled, glanced at Gabriel who seemed a little timid, and shook their heads. How could that be? They'd already started eating and weren't going to bother with her. Gabriel's gaming addiction was far more severe than Umaru's; how could she possibly be reflecting? It must be some strange plan, right? They decided to leave it to Gao Yumo.

Kaguya was the first to pick up her drink from the table, stood up and congratulated Gao Yumo, saying, "Congratulations, Mo."

The other girls were the ones who finally realized what was happening. They all picked up their drinks, stood up, and congratulated each other.

Even Mashiro, who didn't understand much, stood up angrily, and Nanami still had to explain the situation to her.

"Congratulations, brother!", "Congratulations, Mo Jun!", "Congratulations, Mo!"

"Thank you! Let's work hard together from now on!" Gao Yumo picked up his drink and toasted with the girls! Celebrating this happy day! Celebrating this wonderful beginning! This is his beginning, but not the beginning of their otherworldly club! Next month is the real event!

("Seeking flowers", "Seeking tips", "Seeking favorites", "Seeking monthly tickets").

Chapter 128 Let's go on a picnic in the mountains tomorrow! (2 updates)

"By the way, tell me how many levels you've reached?" Gao Yumo asked curiously, looking at Gabriel. She was so engrossed in Plants vs. Zombies that she hadn't even bothered to eat. How far had she gotten? She should be close to the end, right?

"Me? 4-1." Gabrielle, under Gao Yumo's gaze, had no choice but to answer. Her computer had almost been destroyed just now, and her mood for playing games had vanished. Now, she just wanted to behave herself and make Gao Yumo think she had returned to her old self. Maybe then he would let her play on the computer as she pleased? After all, wasn't that his goal? This was Gabrielle's current plan.

But we still want to play when we get back to our room, so let's start on Monday.

"Hmph! I won! I'm already 4-3!" Umaru said to Gabriel. She had started playing later than Gabriel and had completed several more levels. She was really good!

Gabriel was unconvinced. If Winette hadn't called her to dinner beforehand, she definitely would have played more than Umaru!

"I'm still far from it, only reaching the third major level," Eriri said. Although the game wasn't very difficult, she had still failed several times.

"I'm about the same as Eriri." Utaha and Eriri played together. They treated today as a relaxing day. They didn't have work in the morning, so they played games together in the activity room. Of course, there was a competition between the two of them. Kato Megumi didn't play and just watched them compete.

This is why their progress was similar and neither was fast. They both wanted to be faster than the other, but they were prone to failure when they got anxious. By lunchtime, their progress was still at the same level, so it could only be considered a tie. After all, they had to start work in the afternoon and couldn't relax for too long.

The girls also shared where they had hit the target.

Mashiro and Kaguya are probably the two least skilled gamers. Mashiro doesn't know how to use a computer at all, and she only plays with Nanami. Kaguya is similar, but after Hayasaka Ai taught her, she was able to operate the game without any problems. After all, she only needs to use a mouse, which makes it much simpler for Kaguya than using a keyboard. Once she learned how, Kaguya found the game quite fun.

She had already reached the second major level on her own, which was a very good achievement for Kaguya, and she was quite satisfied with it. However, she was not so satisfied when she heard about the progress of the others.

Most of the others were at the third level. Apart from Umaru and Gabriel, only Yuki had reached the fourth level, and she had gone one level further than Gabriel.

Upon hearing this, Gabriel was initially indignant. She wanted to rush back to her room to continue playing, but looking at Gao Yumo, even though he wasn't looking at her, Gabriel still felt a sense of pressure and decided to give up.

"Great! This game is really fun!" Gao Yumo said happily, and the girls all nodded.

“It’s really fun. Even Mashiro kept telling me to keep playing. She wanted to watch, so I couldn’t refuse.” Nanami smiled and pointed out Mashiro’s behavior earlier. “I told her that Mo-kun called us to eat, but she said she wanted to keep playing. Actually, we were almost late.”
