"Does Jin'er miss her father?" Su Yi asked, holding Jin'er and kissing her rosy cheeks.

"I was thinking about it! Last night, Jin'er dreamed that Daddy made her a really big cotton candy. Daddy, why are you so late? Jin'er has been waiting for so long, I even finished my homework last night." Jin'er chattered on and on with Su Yi like a happy little bird.

"Daddy had something to do just now. Did Jin'er behave well at school?"

"Yes, Jin'er has been listening attentively in class. She answered all the teacher's questions correctly, and the teacher even praised her."

Su Yi put Jin'er down and said softly, "Jin'er is the best girl. Come on, I'll take you out to play." Knowing that Mo Yuqing still had work to do, Su Yi said to Jin'er, "Jin'er, let's go. Say goodbye to Mommy."

"Goodbye, Mom." Jin'er waved her little hand at Mo Yuqing and said in her tender voice.

"Jin'er, don't cause trouble for your godfather." Mo Yuqing felt a little awkward about Jin'er calling Su Yi "Dad," so she said it like this.

Carrying Jin'er downstairs, Su Yi had her sit next to him, then fastened her seatbelt and drove her to the Dream Technology Park where the Mother Nest was located. After parking the car, Su Yi secretly had the Mother Nest thoroughly scan Mo Jin'er's condition.

"Daddy, what place is this? There are so many trees!" At this moment, Su Yi let Mo Jin'er ride on his shoulders again. She looked around happily and pointed to the science park, saying to Su Yi.

"This is Daddy's place. In a while, it will be as beautiful as a park. Then Daddy will put up a swing here for Jin'er so that Jin'er can play here, okay?"

“Great! Jin’er loves swinging the most.” Mo Jin’er said happily.

Construction had already begun within the park, with foundations laid and frameworks erected in many areas. The landscaping company had also transplanted numerous trees and flowers, and the science park was beginning to take shape.

The construction workers inside were a little surprised to see Su Yi and Mo Jin'er together, but seeing Su Yi's car, they knew he wasn't an ordinary person. The person in charge of Dream International here, recognizing Su Yi as the company's chairman, quickly came over to greet him. Su Yi politely told him not to worry about him, that he was just there for a casual look. After a while, Mo Jin'er's initial excitement and curiosity wore off, and Su Yi, knowing the Mother Nest project had yielded results, drove her away.

On the way, Su Yi received the results from the Kesai. After analysis, it was found that Mo Jin'er had a very peculiar heart disease. Her heart valve structure was somewhat abnormal, but it was different from ordinary valvular heart disease. According to the current level of Earth's medicine, surgical treatment would be very difficult, because if not careful, it would cause heart failure, which would be fatal.

As for treatment, Kosei offered the best method available at the moment, but this method required Su Yi to undergo intermediate modifications and upgrade his manipulation techniques to the next level before it could be completed.

Since the Mother Nest evolved into its root-like state, Su Yi has been able to perform intermediate-level modifications. However, the current location of the Mother Nest makes modification inconvenient, as it is surrounded by the Dream Technology Park, which is under construction day and night. Moreover, Su Yi doesn't have an urgent need for such modifications at the moment, so he hasn't carried them out. He originally planned to wait until the technology park was completed before making the modifications, but now it seems he needs to complete them as soon as possible.

Next, Su Yi took Mo Jin'er to a nearby amusement park. Watching him happily ride the bumper cars and carousel, Mo Jin'er excitedly greeted Su Yi, calling out "Daddy." Su Yi ignored the pressure from the other parents about his age. When he saw the envious look in Mo Jin'er's eyes as she looked at the roller coasters and pirate ship, his resolve to cure her as soon as possible strengthened. After all, because of her illness, she couldn't play on such thrilling rides.

As Mo Jin'er was playing and sweating profusely, Su Yi was wiping her sweat with her handkerchief when he received a call from Mo Yuqing. They then arranged to meet for dinner.

During the meal, with Mo Jin'er beside him, Su Yi refrained from revealing that he possessed a method to cure her illness. He hoped that Mo Jin'er could remain carefree and without sorrow.

The next day, Su Yi drove to the vicinity of the science park. He had noticed a rather dilapidated residential area near the park the day before. Through research, he learned that it used to be the family quarters of employees from the former Warehouse No. 2 area; most of them had moved away due to compensation, and now very few people lived there. Su Yi drove to a small shop and went inside. He saw a middle-aged woman sitting behind the counter knitting. The woman assumed Su Yi was there to buy something and casually asked, "Young man, what do you need?"

"Big sister, I want to ask you something. Are any of these houses for rent?" Su Yi stated his purpose directly.

The middle-aged woman stopped what she was doing, looked Su Yi up and down, and asked, "Do you want to rent a house here?" She noticed that Su Yi was dressed smartly and didn't seem like the kind of person who would live in such a place, hence her question.

"Yes, I'd like to rent a place here, ma'am. Does anyone want to rent it?"

“There will definitely be people renting here. There are far fewer original residents left. A few of them have rented out their houses, but this place is very remote, so not many people come here to rent houses.”

"Could you help me get in touch with a company? If it works out, I'll give you a referral fee of one hundred yuan."

Hearing that she could earn 100 yuan just for introducing a house, the middle-aged woman was immediately tempted, but she still asked with some doubt, "Young man, you're not going to do anything illegal, are you? Don't drag me into this."

"Don't worry, sister. It's just that a friend of mine works as a supervisor at a construction site in the science park. His girlfriend recently came to visit him in Yanjing, but he can't leave the construction site, so he asked me to rent a place for him nearby. It's for less than a month, but the rent is negotiable." Su Yi said the excuse he had prepared beforehand: "He's offering 1,000 yuan a month for rent, and he can also give you 100 yuan as a referral fee. Of course, if you find a cheaper place, sister, then the money you save is all yours."

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman was even happier. In places like this, there are plenty of people willing to join even for 500 a month. This way, with just one transaction, she could earn at least 600 yuan. It's really easy money.

Next, Su Yi stated his requirements: he wanted a ground-floor apartment, preferably one of the outermost units near the science park. He then left his phone number and a 100 yuan deposit before leaving, leaving the middle-aged woman happily making the contact.

After finishing that business, Su Yi drove to the university town. The Dream Club's internet cafe, Dream Internet Cafe, was now fully renovated and open for business. The internet cafe was entirely funded by Dream International, occupying a four-story building near the university town. This building had also been purchased by Dream International and became an asset of the group.

The three lower floors of the internet cafe are the business area, including a general configuration area, a high-configuration gaming area, a women's area, a VIP area (private rooms), a lounge, a small restaurant, a supermarket, and a game screening room, among other facilities.

The entire fourth floor is the club's private area, accessible only by a dedicated elevator for club members to use with their cards. There are also dedicated security personnel on duty in the passageway between the third and fourth floors.

The club currently only houses the Dream Team and their assistants, using a practice room, a lounge, and a small screening room. Several other areas are similarly arranged, intended for future additions of members from other sports such as StarCraft. Additionally, there is a gym with showers, a kitchenette, and several guest rooms on the fourth floor for temporary use by members.

If the interior of this fully equipped club were revealed, it would probably make many players who dream of becoming professional gamers extremely envious. Jifeng and his team are also very satisfied with the environment here and have already started their daily training here.

Although the Dream Team already has an endorsement contract with the Freeman Internet Cafe chain, the club is still operating at a loss. Dream International has no intention of entering the internet cafe industry. The reason for opening this internet cafe is to use the profits from it to compensate for the club's losses.

However, since the internet cafe opened, it has often been packed. After all, there is a chance to see idols in person, and the environment and computer configuration are very good, so people are naturally willing to come here to surf the internet.

Currently, among the male fans of the Dream Team, Ji Rong has the largest following, while among the smaller female fanbase, most prefer Ji Feng. Sometimes one has to admit that a good appearance definitely adds a lot of points, especially considering that both players are currently among the top players in China.

When Su Yi arrived, he saw the team's five members conducting their daily training. Their two immediate goals were the Lechang Cup National Esports Tournament tomorrow and the WCG Grand Finals in Seoul, South Korea.

Sometimes Su Yi couldn't understand why Ji Rong, as the only daughter of the Ji family with an incredibly high status, was so fond of e-sports and even willing to sign with Dream Club as a professional player. After all, although the income of the club members was higher than that of ordinary white-collar workers, Ji Rong was the eldest daughter of the Ji family who drove a Porsche and didn't care about such income at all. It was estimated that her monthly allowance was dozens or even hundreds of times her income here.

Perhaps Su Yi himself is not a complete gamer, so he cannot understand the mental world of a gamer.
