77 Lantern Festival (1/2)

After settling the Armory Division, Ouyang Shuo went back into the study room and got offline as planned.

In reality, it was already the 15th day of the new year and the new years'’ holiday was about to come to an end. The working class had already started to work on the 8th. Starting tomorrow, schools will also start. During the holidays, Bing'er would sleep in and eat a lot, causing her face to become fat, extremely adorable.

Yesterday, Sun Xiaoyue had called and said that she was returning to Jiaozhou today and spend the lantern festival together with them. Ouyang Shuo went to the market to buy several ingredients to cook a huge meal for dinner.

At 3pm in the afternoon, Sun Xiaoyue had reached home on time and brought with her many of her hometown specialties. After not seeing her for a very long time, naturally it started with a greeting. Bing'er, that little brat, was overly reliant on Sun Xiaoyue, giving her the gift that she bought at the temple fair, followed by introducing Xue'er.

When Sun Xiaoyue saw Xue'er, she was shocked. She recognised the smart pet and knew that it costs a lot. She turned around and looked at Ouyang Shuo. She didn’t expect this brother to be so good to his sister, buying such an expensive gift all of a sudden.

She realised that she couldn’t see through Ouyang Shuo. He spent the whole day playing games and not working, and seemed to be covered by a mysterious veil, causing people to be unable to see through him.

This time when she went home, her grandfather, who was a professor at the Chinese academy of sciences, mentioned Earth Online to her. When she told him that she knew about the game, her grandfather actually recommended she play the game. She had already booked a game cabin online and it would be shipped here tomorrow.

”Sister, why aren’t you listening to Bing'er?” Bing'er pouted and said sadly.

Sun Xiaoyue was stunned, she had zoned out and hadn’t replied to Bing'er. She said, ”Ah, haha, sister thinks Xue'er is too cute, I was shocked beyond words.”

”Yes, Bing'er thinks so too, she’s as cute as Bing'er.”

”Sister…” The little brat jumped into Sun Xiaoyue's arms and moved around.

Ouyang Shuo, seeing both of them playing around in the living room, suddenly thought about Song Jia. Since that day, he had kept in contact with Song Jia, calling her once or twice. As for her feelings, Ouyang Shuo couldn’t say for certain. Classmates, friends, or something more?

After dinner, Sun Xiaoyue smiled and said, ”Aiyo, tomorrow I will also start playing Earth Online, is there anything you want to advise me?”

Ouyang Shuo was surprised, ”Why so sudden? Weren’t you so determined not to play?”

”Heh, who knows, all of you are so mysterious. My grandfather recommended it.”

”Your grandfather?”

”Yeah, he is the boat design specialist of the alliance, I don’t know where he got the news. He didn’t want to explain, just asked me directly to play it. He also gave me the money to pay for the game cabin.”

Ouyang Shuo nodded his head; it seemed like the truth behind the game had been revealed to some of the middle class. Fairly soon, the game would welcome a new batch of players. ”Last time, I told you that the game has a lord mode and an adventure mode, which will you pick?”

Sun Xiaoyue didn’t even think about it and said,” Of course adventure mode, I can’t handle the lord mode.”

”If it’s the adventure mode, it is broken up into combat occupations and work occupations, do you need me to introduce them to you?” As for her choice, Ouyang Shuo did not want to interfere with it.

”No need, I already went online and checked. I don’t like all the fighting and killing so I’ve decided to choose a work occupation. However, there are so many choices, I do not know which to pick.”

Ouyang Shuo was shaken, but he did not show it and said calmly, ”If it’s a work occupation, I think that an architect fits you and it mixes well with what you are studying now. The game is very real and in the latter part of the game, architects will have a large opportunity to show off their skills.”

”Ya, why didn’t I think of that? Okay, I will listen to you and choose architect. Tell me your ID, I will contact you when I enter the game.”
