"Good morning, brother."
"Morning."
"I have breakfast with ," she said, placing the bowl of soup on the adjustable table on the bed.
"Yu Rou, can I ask you for a favor?" Yuan asked her as he’s being fed like a patient in a hospital.
"What is it?"
"I’d like to hear so fairy tales tonight." His words dumbfounded her, who wasn’t expecting such a request.
"Why fairy tales?" She asked in a worrying tone, afraid the illness might have finally ssed up his mind.
"I made a friend in the ga, and she happens to be a young NPC. I promised her that I’d tell her more fairy tales," he explained.
"You are telling fairy tales to NPCs? Brother... what are you doing, really?" Yu Rou sighed, thinking how silly he was being.
"Don’t let the fact that they are NPCs fool you into thinking that they are not worth your ti. They move, think, react, and speak like real Players. You wouldn’t know if they are a real Player or not unless you ask them.
"Yeah, yeah. Just don’t do anything weird to her, alright?"
"W...Weird? Why would I do anything weird?" Yuan asked.
"Haven’t you heard? There have been plenty of perverts getting killed for touching NPCs inappropriately. The penalty for death is extrely harsh in this ga from what I heard."
"Perverts touching NPCs? You can do that in this ga?" Yuan lifted his eyebrows in surprise. What a profound ga!
"Ah! You’re thinking about doing sothing perverted, aren’t you!? Don’t even think about it, brother! I prohibit you from doing that as your sister!"
"That only works if you are the older one, no?" He smiled.
"Then... then I will stop taking care of you! Hmph!"
"Aiii... Do you think your brother is so kind of pervert that likes to touch NPCs? Unlike so people, I have morals, you know." He sighed, and continued to speak, "Anyway, what is this death penalty, and what happens if you die?" He was more interested in that than the perverts in the ga.
"According to those who have died, so beca unable to cultivate after death while so have even lost their cultivation base entirely, requiring them to restart from scratch."

Yuan pondered. "So you basically have to start from the beginning... That is indeed very harsh for a ga."
"Additionally, so people have already tried to buy new consoles to start fresh but guess what? They still appear in the ga with the sa character!"
"So we are limited to one character no matter what?" Yuan cannot comprehend the ga creators’ motive for creating such a system; it’s almost as if they want humans to live in another world with life as realistic as possible.
"Ah, brother, it’s ti for to go to school. I will pick up so fairy tales on the way ho," she said before leaving.
"Thank you."

"She’s not here..." Yuan looked around for a small figure, but Xiao Hua was nowhere to be found. "I guess she went ho."
He decided to sit down and cultivate to wait for her. Seconds turned into minutes, and minutes turned into hours. Until night ca, Yuan sat there like a stone statue, cultivating and unaware that ti had passed by so quickly.

Yuan did not stop cultivating until it was ti for him to eat dinner. "We couldn’t play today but that’s fine. At least I will have stories ready for the next ti we et." He stared at the night sky for a mont before logging off.

After feeding Yuan and getting him cleaned, Yu Rou began reading fairy tales to him like a mother would tell stories to her child before bedti, but her voice was still too immature to sound like a real mother.
"How was my narration?" she asked him in a cheeky tone.
"It sucked..."
"What—Fine! You can read it yourself next ti!"
"Ah! I’m sorry, Yu Rou. I was only joking." Yuan hurriedly corrected himself, "Your voice was so heavenly that I thought you were a real fairy!"
Yu Rou blushed. "It was embarrassing to read these childish stories out loud, you know?" she said later, "I will rember this debt you owe !"
"Yes yes, I will even give you my life, so find a few more fairy tales, okay?"
"..."
"Yu Rou?" He called out to her after receiving no answer.
"Brother, please don’t say things like that ever again," said Yu Rou with a serious expression on her face, her voice sowhat sorrowful.
Yuan quickly realized that he had screwed up. "I’m sorry..." he apologized right away.
"As long as you understand..." Yu Rou left his side to close the light, "Brother, it is getting late, you should go to sleep now."
"Un. Goodnight."
"Goodnight, brother."

Inside her room, Yu Rou surfed the internet on her phone for so ti before sleeping like always.
"This player Yuan is very mysterious and baffling. In just two days since the ga’s launch, he was able to beco the first Player to obtain a Divine-rank skill and finish a Hidden Quest. Is he even human?"
Despite not being able to play the ga due to school and Yuan, she would still keep up with the newest information about the ga so when the ti cos for her to play, she wouldn’t feel too lost. "anwhile, my brother is fooling around with a young NPC..." she smiled bitterly at that thought.
"Wow, his bounty has increased to five million already!" Her eyes widened at the effort and money others were willing to put out just to find this one player.
"So much fa... how envious..." she turned the phone off and closed her eyes. "Brother too... used to be flickering with lights under the spotlight..." she sighed before slowly falling asleep.
