Chapter 456: The Older Sister's Helplessness

Under Zhang Suannai's warm invitation, the group first arrived at her "homestead" in *True Life*.

As soon as they entered, Chen Banxia was stunned for a moment.

This was a place that was both dilapidated and cluttered, yet filled with all sorts of high-end technological products.

At a glance, the most advanced fighter jets, Heavy Shield Tanks, and cool sports cars and motorcycles were parked nearby, while a spaceship stood in the distance; although these were all very cool, sci-fi things, they were piled together in a messy way, and some were even covered in dust, which made it look very strange.

Both shabby and cool.

"What is this..."

The older sister couldn't help but twitch the corner of her eye.

"Come, come, come!"

Zhang Suannai jumped onto the nearest fighter jet and introduced it to them happily: "Look! The Hunter-34! Our country's most advanced Hunter Aircraft, with a cruising speed that can reach twelve times the speed of sound, and a top flight speed that can hit 15 times the speed of sound. Just tell me, is it cool or not?"

"??"

"There's more! The Silver Dragon from Lanya, with a cruising speed of 10.8 times the speed of sound and a top flight speed of 13.85 times the speed of sound. Haha, awesome, right?" Zhang Suannai, who had jumped onto another fighter jet, was extremely proud. "I dare say that in the entire game, there aren't more than 1,000 people who have managed to get both of these Hunter Aircraft! It took me a huge amount of effort to get them!"

After speaking, she stood on the cockpit canopy, looking down at everyone, waiting for them to exclaim in surprise.

"Uh..."

Chen Banxia stared at her blankly.

"It's fine, it's fine! You guys can play with whatever you want! Don't stand on ceremony with me!" Seeing this, Zhang Suannai added, "We can drive them and fight each other! Split into two teams! Or race the planes!"

"This..."

"Don't like this one? Oh, oh, right, you guys haven't played this before; playing something this exciting for the first time, you might not be able to handle it..." Zhang Suannai nodded, bent her legs, and leaped from the high spot with elegant movement, landing on a Heavy Shield Tank. "We can play this, Heavy Shield Tank, drive them and blast each other, it's so much fun."

"Ah..."

"Racing is fine too!"

"Emmm..."

"How about it? Want to play?"

Chen Banxia hesitated and looked at the others.

She saw her younger brother blinking his eyes, looking quite interested in this. Qingqing was expressionless, as if it didn't matter what they played; that was right, Qingqing didn't like playing games to begin with and didn't play often, and when she did play occasionally, it was to accompany them. Xiaoxiao was staring straight at the fighter jets, seemingly a bit tempted as well.

As the oldest person present and the older sister of the group, Chen Banxia felt it was time for her to make a decision.

"Then..."

Her younger brother's voice came from beside her:

"Let's play!"

Chen Banxia turned her head to glance at him and silently closed her mouth.

Thus, the torture for her began.

Chen Banxia first piloted a Hunter Aircraft she didn't know how to fly at all, teaming up with her younger brother and Xiaoxiao to face off against the little sister and Qingqing, starting an intense air battle.

The little sister was actually quite considerate, giving them the better-performing Hunter-34 while she and Qingqing piloted the slightly inferior Silver Dragon. But in Chen Banxia's eyes, the performance of the jets and even the outcome of the match didn't matter; she was always the first one to be shot down anyway.

Heartbreaking.

Then she was on a team with Xiaoxiao and the little sister, driving Heavy Shield Tanks to blast the duo of her younger brother and Qingqing.

The experience in the Game Capsule was too realistic; every cannon blast felt like it was exploding right next to her ear, deafening her. Every time her shield and armor were pierced, the entire War Chariot would shake and deform, and the feeling of metal fragments shattering and ricocheting everywhere, along with the ear-piercing sound of metal deforming, made her feel like her period was about to become irregular.

How could anyone like war?

Chen Banxia was full of questions.

But listening to the little sister's exclamations in her ear and watching Xiaoxiao, who was completely immersed in it, she didn't know what to say.

Until they decided to start racing.

The older sister breathed a slight sigh of relief.

In her view, this had no difficulty.

No matter how fast sports cars and motorcycles went, the speed was only a few hundred kilometers per hour, which wasn't considered fast for a Fifth-tier Practitioner. Although this still wasn't the type of game she usually liked to play, she had played it before.

"Come on."

She saw the little sister spend 20 gold coins in the system options to clean the motorcycles; in just an instant, these motorcycles turned from dusty junk into shiny speed machines.

Suddenly, the little sister took out a pile of things and started distributing them:

"Come, come, come, everyone take some, everyone take some."

Chen Banxia reached out to take them and looked down.

Banana peels, triangular spikes, police Anti-riot Gun...

An ominous premonition flashed through the older sister's heart.

Seeing her younger brother, Qingqing, and Xiaoxiao all naturally take these things and carry them on their persons, her ominous premonition grew heavier.

As expected, for the next period of time, Chen Banxia began to experience violent motorcycle riding at speeds of four or five hundred kilometers per hour, mainly experiencing the feeling of the vehicle losing control and flying out; after riding a lap, she died several times. After finally finishing the motorcycle ride, there was an intense sports car race, with all sorts of squeezing, collisions, and flipping explosions, which almost made her exit the Game Capsule.

"Finally over..."

The older sister, who had died n times, breathed a sigh of relief once more.

Actually, the game experience was okay, it was just that she didn't really like this type of game; although being able to play games with friends and family she liked was a very happy thing in itself, if it could happen to be a game she liked, the experience would undoubtedly be even better.

Now that it was over here, going to her younger brother's side—it shouldn't be this kind of thing over there, right?

"Is it fun?"

"Fun!"

"It's fun."

"Is it more fun than yours, Chen Shu?"

"It's not the same type, but it's also very fun."

"Let's go! Let's go see!"

"Alrighty!"

Hearing her younger brother say "not that type," Chen Banxia's heart was already put at ease.

At this moment, Qingqing's voice came from beside her:

"Are you having fun?"

Chen Banxia turned her head subconsciously, and seeing Qingqing eyeing her sideways, she hurriedly replied: "It's alright... just..."

"Hmm?"

"It's just that I rarely play this kind of game."

"Then have you ever farmed before?"

"Huh?"

The elder sister was taken aback.

With a *swish*, the scene shifted.

A blue light shone through the black hole, like a spatial passage, sucking them in and spitting them out in another place.

When the light returned, what lay before them was a rural scene, a landscape like an oil painting with rich, vibrant colors; behind them were a few mud-walled, thatched cottages, and right at the doorways of the cottages were vast stretches of fertile fields, with paths crisscrossing to divide them into square grids, making one's mood improve instantly.

It was like two extremes compared to before.

"The difference is so huge..."

Chen Banxia stood there blankly, unable to help but reach out and scratch her head.

The little sister's voice rang out: "Is this your homestead? You usually play by farming?"

"Ah! What's wrong with that? Is it not allowed?"

"It's a bit strange..."

"What's strange about it? Farming is the romance of us Yiguo people."

"When did you start farming?"

"Last year, I guess."

"This..."

The little sister dragged out the end of her sentence, clearly also feeling this was strange.

Surely no one would actually like farming, right?

Chen Banxia thought to herself.

"This actually seems kind of interesting... I've never farmed before! Where is the hoe? Get one for me."

Only to hear the little sister say just that.

One hour later.

Chen Banxia had a numb expression, holding a hoe and standing in the field, watching the little sister and Xiaoxiao, under the guidance of her younger brother, one digging holes and the other sowing seeds; the one wielding the hoe worked with a *huff-puff* sound, as if she had inexhaustible energy, and the one sowing seeds was also diligent and meticulous.

Qingqing stood on the ridge of the field with her hands in her pockets, and when Chen Banxia looked over at her, she happened to look over at her as well.

Chen Banxia received the meaning in her gaze—

Hurry up and work, don't slack off.

Right, she was the supervisor, after all.

Chen Banxia silently lowered her head and dug the soil to make holes.

"*Clack-thud, clack-thud*..."

The entire plot of land was filled with the sound of digging.

I don't know how much time passed...

"Alright."

Her younger brother's voice came out: "That's about it. I'll come back to fertilize in two days when the seedlings come up. Basically, it can be harvested in a week. This time, I must have a higher yield than my university classmates!"

This damn thing even involves competing with each other??

Chen Banxia had a complicated expression.

"What time is it?"

"The Game Sprite reminds you that it is now 10:30 Yijingshijian. It's not early, get some rest soon!"

"It's this late already?" Chen Shu said.

"Let's log off," Qingqing said.

"I can still play!" Xiaoxiao said.

"Have you finished your homework for today?" Qingqing asked coldly.

"It's already the end of the term, I'm finishing my exams soon, my senior year will be over, and I won't have classes next semester..." The young girl frowned, the implication being that she, who was about to leave campus, no longer needed to do homework.

"I asked if you finished your homework?"

"!!"

So noisy, so noisy!!

The young girl scratched her ears, frowned, and said to Qingqing: "Your voice is really unpleasant!"

Qingqing did not answer, only coldly eyeing her.

The little sister on the side was also not yet satisfied; looking at her energy, if you strapped a plow to her, she could probably plow this whole mountain, but since Qingqing had said so, she felt embarrassed to keep saying she wanted to continue playing.

The group could only log off.

"Phew..."

Chen Banxia opened the Game Capsule, and only then did she finally heave a sigh of relief.

Freedom at last.

At the same time, the little sister also emerged from the adjacent capsule, and this person actually looked at her happily: "How was it? This game is fun, right?"

"Uh... hmm..."

"I haven't had enough fun yet..."

"Mm... right..."

"Which do you think is more fun, me or your younger brother?"

"..."

Chen Banxia looked left and right, remaining silent for a long time before secretly making a decision in her heart—she would set up a Liandangfang in a few days, call this group of people over to tend the fire for her, the kind where they had to sit in front of the furnace for three days and three nights without moving, and refine them first.

"Let's go! Bath time!"

The little sister pulled her arm and walked outside.

A few days later.

The little girl started taking exams again.

Yujing had once again reached the hottest time of the year, so hot that the flowers in the courtyard could not even bloom.

Hot weather goes better with alchemy.

Chen Banxia had already finished setting up her Liandangfang and was just preparing to invite her alchemy materials to come online when she happened to encounter a major event, especially for the Cultivators of the Spirit Sect, it was a very big deal—

The Spirit Sect had a change of Sect Master.

The former Spirit Sect Sect Master, due to advanced age and the approach of Spirit Decay, decided to pass the position of Sect Master to the head disciple, who was the original Vice Sect Master Du Heng; as an important member of the Spirit Sect, Chen Shu naturally had to rush back to the sect.

And by the way, go to comprehend the "Blazing Sun World-Extinguishing Divine Art".

And for Chen Banxia—
