Eight hours had passed, and Xia Yu returned to his own body. It was already eleven o'clock at night.

Lying in bed, he slept soundly until 8 o'clock the next morning, when he finally reentered the body of Xu Youxiang.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw the ceiling of Xu Youxiang's home.

"How come, you finally remembered you have a slave girl left untouched?" Xu Youxiang's tone was, as usual, not very pleasant.

"I didn't force you into this." Xia Yu retorted.

Xu Youxiang did not continue to speak.

Sitting up, Xia Yu yawned, feeling a little tired.

"Did you not sleep well last night?" Xia Yu asked.

"Hmm." Xu Youxiang simply responded without any explanation and changed the subject, "Do you want to continue learning programming?"

"No, it seems pointless." Xia Yu did not mention that he had other things to do recently to prevent Xu Youxiang from deducing.

Although Xu Youxiang couldn't deduce anything at the moment, it wouldn't be the same in the future when more information was available.

Picking up Xu Youxiang's laptop, Xia Yu planned to use this game time for playing games instead.

Unfortunately, Xu Youxiang only had free games to play. It would have been great if there were paid games.

With regret, Xia Yu opened the laptop and found more than a dozen game icons on the desktop.

"???"

"Did you not sleep well due to playing games?" Xia Yu guessed.

"Why, am I not allowed to play games for entertainment as a disabled person?" Xu Youxiang said with a hint of anger.

"It's not that. Last time I came here, your computer didn't even have a gaming platform. Now there are so many games, I'm a little surprised." Xia Yu chose one of the games and started it.

It was a tomb-robbing game where the player controlled a fierce female protagonist, fighting and searching for treasure in a tomb occupied by terrorists.

At the beginning of the game, the player was given a bow, and the goal was to eliminate a group of soldiers.

"There's nothing good over there, going there would be a waste of time." Xu Youxiang put down her bad temper and began guiding Xia Yu.

Xia Yu listened to Xu Youxiang's advice and changed his path.

"Wait, there are more than a dozen people up ahead. Assassinate them!" Xu Youxiang commanded.

Xia Yu understood: Assassinate.

Then, he controlled the game character and jumped into the middle of the enemy squad. He first used the bow and arrow to shoot wildly, killing seven people. Then, with both hands holding climbing axes, he knocked the remaining eight people to death.

"Assassination is over; where do we go next?" Xia Yu asked Xu Youxiang.

"Do you really call that assassination?" Xu Youxiang said in disbelief.

"Isn't assassination completing the kill without any witnesses?" Xia Yu said.

"Fine, I didn't expect your operation to be this good."

In fact, Xia Yu's operation was not that good. If Xu Youxiang were a professional player, she would have noticed many useless parts in Xia Yu's operation. All he did was show off his Lv2 agility and powerful reaction ability.

After a series of assassinations, Xia Yu successfully broke out of the terrorist camp and arrived at a tomb.

Below, it was time for the exciting and thrilling tomb robbing.

The process of tomb raiding is actually a process of decryption, watching the game character climb up and down, jumping around, creating a path to the treasure chest for themselves.

Xia Yu didn't feel anything, but Xu Youxiang, watching the agile game character move up and down, suddenly felt disheartened.

She could never run and jump like that again.

She thought of her parents, who had been treating her with extreme caution since the car accident. The once quarreling couple now didn't even raise their voices to each other.

Their eyes were filled with pain when they looked at her.

As she was pondering, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Xiangxiang, I'm coming in," Xu's mother's voice rang out.

"Quickly exit to the desktop!" Xu Youxiang anxiously told Xia Yu.

However, Xia Yu ignored her and continued playing the game.

Three seconds later, Xu's mother opened the door, her hands holding a bowl of apple slices, with a small plastic fork stuck in them.

Xu's mother put the apples on the bed, turned her head, and glanced at the laptop screen.

Her eyes lit up: "Playing a game?"

"Mhmm," Xia Yu answered.

"Playing games is good, play more when you're free. Do you want money for it? One or two thousand a month is still manageable," Xu's mother asked concernedly.

"No need, it's a single-player game," Xia Yu said.

"You play slowly, I'll leave now." After saying this, Xu's mother left the room cheerfully.

Xu Youxiang was confused. She didn't understand why her mother, who had always disliked her playing games, was so happy to see her playing today.

As she was puzzled, Xia Yu paused the game, took an apple from the bed, and began eating.

Three minutes later, another knock on the door sounded.

"I'm coming in," Xu's father's voice said.

Xu's father held a bowl of sliced pears and entered the room, placing the pears on the bedside table and glanced at the game on the laptop.

"It's fine to play games and relax occasionally, but pay attention to rest."

Compared to Xu's mother, Xu's father was much calmer. Still, from the smile on the corner of his mouth, Xu Youxiang knew that he was in a good mood too.

"Tell him he doesn't have to peel the fruit. I can do it myself," Xu Youxiang said to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu ignored her and instead asked, "Are there any peaches?"

"Peaches? Yes, yes, I'll go buy them right now." Xu's father, unable to hold back an authoritative expression, cheerfully left the room and went downstairs to buy peaches for Xu Youxiang.

Three minutes later, he entered the room again with a bowl of peaches.

Xu Youxiang could clearly see the smile on Xu's father's face, a genuine smile, not a fake one to comfort her. She had only seen such genuine laughter before the car accident.

"Call my mom for me," Xia Yu said.

"My dear wife!" Xu's father immediately went out to call her.

Soon, Xu's mother arrived in the room.

Xia Yu reached out his hand to Xu's mother, "I want to go to the bathroom."

Xu's mother was stunned. Since the car accident, her daughter had been trying to be strong. Although she wanted to help, she could only watch her daughter struggle for her dignity.

Now, her stubborn daughter actually reached out her hand to her.

After recovering, Xu's mother's heart was filled with immense joy, and her eyes filled with tears.

Watching her daughter's painful persistence, she felt equally pained and helpless.

Now, she could finally help her daughter by offering her own strength.

She walked quickly, almost skipping to Xia Yu's side, and helped him to the bathroom with the aid of Mother Xu.

Returning to the bed, Father Xu and Mother Xu exchanged a few words with Xia Yu, smiling, and then left the room without disturbing his game.

"Why?" Xu Youxiang asked.

In order not to cause her parents any pain, she had always tried to be as self-reliant as she was before the car accident. But her actions only made her parents more distressed, and she once thought she was the root of all evil.

"You're injured, there's no need to pretend to be strong. Just quietly enjoy your parents' care. Don't put on a miserable face; playing games will make them happy," Xia Yu said while eating a peach.

"Hmph, none of your business!" Xu Youxiang said unkindly.

A line of small text flashed before Xia Yu's eyes:

[Your bonus has reached Lv2.]

Ha, women.

It seemed that the condition for the bonus to evolve was indeed to gain the other party's favor.

The extra acquisition of game points was probably also related to this condition.
