The time spent in the game was longer than expected, but Ji Kai was still very satisfied before he decided to go offline.

He ate Udon noodles in casserole!

Udon noodles in casserole!

Finally, it was no longer the same pasta with cheese or fruit salad that he had to spend half an hour to make in the Sims. It was no longer the same taste that the System had set for him!

The Udon noodles he ate tonight were smooth and soft, with a variety of side dishes. The soup was not greasy at all, and was very delicious. He even finished the soup!

If there was a scoring system, he would definitely give Gokusen Kanazane 5 stars for his cooking!

If there was a tip, he would definitely give the highest!

In the courtyard, the sky was completely dark.

Gokusen Kanazane went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, leaving The Inquisitor, who had eaten his fill, to lie on the tatami mat and rub his stomach. His heart was filled with love for his Starter Knife.

He yawned. He was a little sleepy, and it was time to go offline.

Although time in the game flowed slower than in real life when the game started, a person's energy was limited to a certain extent. Ji Kai had worked for a few hours in the Sims in the afternoon to renovate. The only reason he was able to last until now was because of his persistence in food.

It's time to go offline.

Ji Kai didn't know how many times he had thought this, but his body didn't move at all.

The sleepiness after a meal was the happiest kind of sleepiness. His stomach wasn't empty, and his brain didn't have time to think nonsense. It was as if his whole body was trapped in soft clouds, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.

"My lord, you'll catch a cold lying like this."

Gokusen, who had just returned from the kitchen, exclaimed and hurried over. "If you're tired, you should go back to your room and rest.

I've already made the bed for you. "

Ji Kai came back to his senses from his dazed dream.

He used all his strength to climb up to the second floor.

He pushed open the paper sliding door.

Go offline, go offline.

He opened the computer to look for the option to go offline, but after searching for a long time and flipping through the product catalog, he still couldn't find anything.

This wasn't the Sims.

Ji Kai suddenly understood and gave up on the operation, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

But how do I log off … Fox's Assistance should know.

But where was Fox's Assistance …

Ah, I don't care anymore.

I want to sleep.

Ji Kai crawled onto the bed on all fours, and in less than ten seconds, he fell into a beautiful dream.

*

When he opened his eyes again, Ji Kai found himself lying on a chair. He removed the simulator from his temple and stood up. To his surprise, he didn't feel the usual backache from staying up all night to play games.

[This is really strange …]

The game loader on the table lit up with a yellow light, indicating that the system was turned on, but there was no game in progress.

Ji Kai curled his lips, threw the simulator on the table, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

He took a vacuum healing bath to get rid of the day's dirt and exhaustion (there wasn't much today).

Then, he squeezed some toothpaste on and carefully filled a small glass of water from the button under the mirror to brush his teeth.

Today, in the 23rd century, all kinds of natural resources had become very poor.

He didn't have much water left, so he had to use it sparingly.

At the same time, because he ordered a luxurious lunch yesterday, Ji Kai could only eat the most basic milk and bread set from the food replicator for breakfast today.

The food he was used to was particularly hard to swallow today, probably because he changed the reference system.

Ji Kai chewed without tasting anything when his communicator suddenly rang.

He looked down at the thing on his wrist. It was a call from Zhou Sen from the Sims.

He pressed the call button.

"Morning.

What's up? "

"Of course there's something."

Zhou Sen's voice echoed in the room through the stereo speaker. "My Simon's graduation party is starting in half an hour. I'm reminding you not to be late."

Ji Kai, who had actually forgotten, replied with a smile, "How could I be late? Hahaha."

His neighbor, who had been together for several years in the game, didn't expose him. They casually chatted for a bit before hanging up.

After breakfast, Ji Kai hurried into the Sims.

His house was still under renovation, and the smell of paint was very strong.

When he came online, the workers hadn't arrived yet. They probably thought he had gone to the party and was slacking off. They didn't expect to be exposed for slacking off.

Well, he had long disliked one of the workers inside. Now he had a reason to fire him.

Ji Kai was in a good mood. He hummed a song and opened the door to walk out.

Zhou Sen's house was just across the street. He still had time to walk around next door.

Wei Tao next door was tidying up his clothes in front of the mirror.

This was the last step before he left the house.

Ji Kai leaned against the living room entrance and waited for him. He was bored waiting, so he opened Wei Tao's character panel to see what had happened in his absence.

Well, there were no memorable events.

It seemed that last night went smoothly.

His work was excellent, and his experience bar was about to be full. He could ask him to treat him to a meal.

The sleep status in the character requirement table had dropped to yellow, indicating lack of sleep.

"Hey, did you work overtime again yesterday?" Ji Kai was basically stating a statement.

"Yes.

My research progress is behind.

The boss is urging me, so I can't let my guard down. "Wei Tao turned around with a steady smile on his handsome face." Let's go. "

When the two arrived, the party had just begun.

After Ji Kai gave the champagne he brought to Zhou Sen's in-game husband, David, he ran to the balcony and took the most comfortable recliner.

In the game, he was about the same age as Zhou Sen. They were both around 25 years old.

It was just that he was a single dog living at home, while the other party was already a game winner with a son and a daughter.

Wei Tao was chatting with David's son, Simon.

The two families lived close to each other, and they often played together. They had a good relationship.

Simon graduated from university and was only a few years younger than his stepfather.

David was already in his forties. When his character was first created, he was already an adult.

Ji Kai had teased him about this at the time. "Even if you like children, you don't have to pretend to have two families. Just have a family of three. How perfect would that be?"

Zhou Sen's face was bitter. "I want to.

But as a 21 year old, I have a 17 year old son. I need to get used to this. "

Therefore, he spent two years deliberately pursuing the widowed David, and another two years to become a qualified stepfather.

Ji Kai took a sip of the rum in his glass.

As he was in a daze, Wei Tao walked back. "You don't look energetic. Are you not feeling well?"

He reached out and touched Ji Kai's forehead. His dark green eyes looked over. When their eyes met, Ji Kai's heart thumped. "I'm fine. I worked all day yesterday. My back is a bit sore."

"Then when we come to my house, I'll give you a massage." Wei Tao sincerely suggested.

"No, no need." Ji Kai's gaze drifted to the man's chest. "I booked a spa this weekend.

Manager Wei's time is precious. I don't dare take it. "

Wei Tao glanced at him unhappily.

Then someone called him in the living room. Ji Kai gestured for him to hurry up. He finished the rest of the rum and decided to slip away.

As for the reason … He looked at the party food that was brought out in the living room. When he thought of the taste, he instantly lost his appetite.

But everyone was very satisfied and happy. He didn't want to reveal anything.

But if he forced himself to pretend that it was delicious, he would be letting himself down.

He went to the dining room to say goodbye to Zhou Sen, who was busy dealing with everyone. The other party was very understanding.

After saying a few words to Wei Tao, Ji Kai exited the Sim.

He took out the nutrient solution that was almost past its expiration date and drank it in a few mouthfuls. He moved the mouse and loaded the Sword Dance. He wanted to see what delicious food Gokusen had made after buying a bunch of vegetables yesterday.

*

"Ah, my lord, you're awake?"

When Ji Kai walked down to the second floor, the Sword Dance had just opened the curtains for the day.

Gokusen Kanazane was putting breakfast on the table.

"Morning."

On the stairs, Ji Kai still had a cold and aloof appearance. He lazily greeted him, but when he smelled the food, he immediately quickened his pace. His voice was full of suppressed excitement. "What is it?!"

"Today's salmon with rice, miso soup, kiwi fruit, boiled eggs, and side dishes." Gokusen Kanazane set the table and handed him a pair of chopsticks while kneeling.

Under the sunlight, the sparkling and translucent white rice that had just come out of the pot was neither soft nor hard. The red and white, fried salmon sprinkled with black pepper. The miso soup was cooked with kelp and tofu, as well as the kiwi fruit and boiled eggs that were cut in half and placed on a delicate plate.

What if he couldn't bear to eat it?!

Ji Kai couldn't put his chopsticks down.

God knows how many years he had endured those synthetic foods … Molecular synthetic foods always had a soft texture, just like cooked mashed potatoes that had been simmered in a pot for a few hours and were about to go bad.

The coffee that everyone praised almost made him vomit the first time he drank it.

It could be said that bad food was one of Ji Kai's biggest worries in the past ten years.

But now …

Smelling the fragrance of the rice, the salty taste of the soup, and the fresh taste of the fruit in the air, Ji Kai held his chopsticks and cried silently.

This was the feeling that should be felt in the morning.

How familiar, how nostalgic.

It was decided!

Even if it was only for this, he would continue to play this game!

Ji Kai reached out his chopsticks shakily to the salmon. He picked up a small piece and slowly put it into his mouth.

Gokusen Kanazane looked at him with a smile on his face, but in fact, he was a little nervous.

His lord had placed such high hopes on him yesterday. If this meal didn't suit his taste, wouldn't he fail to live up to his lord's ardent expectations?

"Hmm …" Ji Kai closed his eyes and swallowed the piece of meat. His face didn't show anything. "Gokusen."

"Here." Gokusen Kanazane took half a step forward on his knees.

"I love you so much!" Ji Kai suddenly opened his eyes and hugged him. "Come home with me!!!"

The purple haired Fu Mourning God's face turned red. He stuttered and hurriedly waved his hand. "My lord, you flatter me, you flatter me … This is what I should do …"

A transparent red heart popped out, interrupting Ji Kai's sudden excitement. He saw the initial value on the heart increase from 40% to 50%. For the first time in the game, he couldn't help but laugh.

This game … is quite interesting.

Ji Kai hugged his initial knife again. He was in a very good mood.

He actually wanted to kiss Gokusen's cheek, but he knew that his bad habit of being happy would scare this conservative Fu Mourning God. So he coughed lightly and continued to focus on eating.
