CHAPTER 821: CHAPTER 722: DISLOCATED LIVES 20

Then the two of them couldn’t hold back and pounced on Mo Siqi’s sensitive flesh, tickling her until she laughed with tears in her eyes before they stopped.

Despite treating the two to a meal, Shuangshuang still planned to take them to the city’s famous attractions for a visit, but tonight Liu Yun had to invite clients over for dinner at home. Shuangshuang chatted with Mo Siqi and Wang Xiao for a bit before letting them watch the computer while she went to cook.

However, Mo Siqi and Wang Xiao found watching computer boring, so they helped out in the kitchen while chatting with Shuangshuang, sneaking bites along the way. With laughter and conversation, Shuangshuang quickly finished cooking the meal for the guests and also made plenty for the three of them to have for dinner.

The next day, with no guests to entertain, Shuangshuang took Wang Xiao and Mo Siqi out directly, heading straight to a famous holiday hotel on the outskirts of the city.

This holiday hotel featured an ancient architectural style, with a large lotus pond in the front and a hundred-flower garden in the back. The scenery was excellent; you could fish for shrimp and crabs, eat fresh wild vegetables from the mountains, and even go to a specially developed horse-riding area. If you didn’t mind the fatigue, you could also go to the mountain top to see the grassy plains.

At this time of year, tourists were abundant, and with Shuangshuang and the others going on the weekend, the place was crowded with people. Their interest in sightseeing diminished since no matter how beautiful the scenery, crowded places only detract from its beauty.

Luckily, the scenery down below was great, and there were plenty of places to have fun, so there weren’t many people mountain climbing. The three decided not to stay overnight, needing no room reservation, and planned to climb the mountain, reminiscing about summer camp days and seeing if anyone had been slacking or if their physical fitness had declined.

The result of the mountain climb was that all three stood at the top, without red faces or heavy breathing, clearly showing that none of them had given up on training during the time since summer camp, maintaining good fitness.

The scenery on the mountaintop was excellent, with wildflowers blooming vibrantly. Although sparse, they had their unique beauty. Shuangshuang felt it a pity that the golden lotus flowers had already bloomed, so they couldn’t see the vast expanse of golden blossoms.

The group found a scenic spot to sit down, took out their respective three-tiered lunch boxes, and a thermos filled with soup. Together, the meal of three entrees and a soup made for a rather luxurious outdoor lunch.

After lunch and another two hours of playtime, the three headed down the mountain as Wang Xiao and Mo Siqi needed to catch a train back home, requiring them to leave early for the station. As they descended, Shuangshuang unexpectedly encountered Fang Zhijin! However, Fang Zhijin stood with her back to them and didn’t see Shuangshuang.

Beside Fang Zhijin was a young man in a casual suit looking very dashing. Saying "man" might be too early since he seemed only seventeen or eighteen. Despite his young age, he had an extraordinary presence.

Shuangshuang recognized this young man as Zhu Shihao. She knew him because Zhu Shihao’s status in the elite circle was famously prestigious. All his peers in interaction with him held him in high regard, and no one would dare to upset him.

This was because Zhu Shihao’s father and grandfather both had military backgrounds, and his mother was in politics, making his status exceptionally noble, a favored child of heaven from a young age.

Previously, Shuangshuang attended Zhu Shihao’s seventeenth birthday banquet. However, as a daughter of a merely well-off business family, she didn’t stand a chance of mingling with him, aside from sending a gift and joining in to eat.

At the moment, seeing Fang Zhijin’s intimate manner with him, it was clear they were acquainted. Moreover, the clothes Fang Zhijin wore were extremely luxurious and expensive, beyond what Fang’s family could afford, so they must have been gifted by Zhu Shihao.

Yet observing the interaction between Fang Zhijin and Zhu Shihao, it didn’t seem like they were a couple; more like Zhu Shihao was pursuing Fang Zhijin. This was strange because it was odd that someone as aloof as Zhu Shihao would lower his standards to pursue a girl.

Nevertheless, running into Fang Zhijin didn’t bother Shuangshuang much. They didn’t have much of a relationship, and Fang Zhijin wasn’t involved in causing Shuangshuang any heartache in the past life. Honestly, to Shuangshuang, Fang Zhijin was just a stranger with whom she had exchanged identities.

Therefore, although she encountered Fang Zhijin, Shuangshuang didn’t care much and returned to the Wen Family, starting to plan ways to make money.

Initially, she had intended to wait until college to start earning, but spotting Fang Zhijin changed her mind. Shuangshuang suddenly wanted to return her identity to Fang Zhijin earlier. After all, she had occupied Fang Zhijin’s identity, and while it wasn’t her fault, it was best to change it back as soon as possible since she became aware of it.

Shuangshuang had been studying software programming for two months, and given her previous knack for computers, fixing minor issues, Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun knew she was learning it. They had no idea of her actual computer skills as she was such a bright student who needed no supervision, so even if she claimed to be a computer expert, they wouldn’t realize she was bragging.

Shuangshuang’s first idea for making money was to develop a software, a game software. When developing this game software, she employed some Illusion Array knowledge from arrays, not much, just enough to allow people to see a bit of fantasy. However, this small illusion significantly transformed the game.

Creating the software wasn’t too challenging; the hardest part for Shuangshuang was converting the Array Text into programming code.

She developed a cultivation game called Ascension to God. The game had numerous character attributes, divided into two main categories: humans and the Demon Clan. Further subdivisions included Array Cultivator, Magic Cultivator, Medicine Cultivator, Body Cultivator, Beast Taming, and special races, etc.

What made it unique wasn’t the professions or races, which were more or less similar across games, but the special effects in this game. As long as players wore specially made glasses while playing, they could feel totally immersed.

The usual 3D scenes people see aren’t realistic, but in this game, everything was indistinguishable from reality, whether it be flowers, grass, scenery, items, or the characters inside. Everything appeared as lifelike as in reality, although touching them offered no physical sensation.

This was already infinitely close to the holographic online games depicted in sci-fi novels. Actually, Shuangshuang could create a holographic online game because she had visited the tech-dominated interstellar world countless times.

In fact, there are two kinds of powerful beings: cultivators who develop strength through cultivation, becoming immortals and gods by gaining power through cultivation.
