My game even includes ancient times

Was the dream I had last night actually real? No, it can't be considered real, but it doesn't seem fake either. But, how could this be?

The dream was directly connected to the game, or rather, she briefly entered the game while asleep?

He Yu unconsciously tugged at her hair, and the slight stinging on her scalp brought her thoughts back to reality.

correct!

A sudden flash of inspiration struck He Yu. She quickly opened [Homestead], selected [Warehouse], and on the shelf displayed in the center of the screen, the familiar purse lay quietly.

He Yu swallowed hard, placed her fingertip on the purse, and gently tapped it—

[4 taels of silver, 271 copper coins]

She was missing 122 copper coins, the exact number she had spent in her dream yesterday.

When her outrageous suspicions were confirmed, He Yu's emotions strangely calmed down, and she even chuckled.

What's this? A single-player mobile game completely modified into a full-immersive VR game?!

Holographic games are a technology that no one in the world has ever developed, and yet she's enjoying them so beautifully?

So she'd rather believe it's metaphysics than technology.

But then again, wouldn't you say this is like paying for glass and getting a diamond in return?

Made a profit?

He Yu sat there expressionless, his mind reeling as if a hurricane had swept through, scattering all his thoughts into a jumbled mess.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses and looked at the words "[4 taels of silver, 271 copper coins]" in the center of the screen, and suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

Damn! If she had known she was spending real money in her dream, she wouldn't have pretended to be rich and given that extra 10 copper coins as a tip!

This is adding insult to injury for a family that was already struggling financially...

He Yu reluctantly closed the [Storehouse], looked at the empty room in front of him, remembered the bunk bed where he had logged in, and began to operate it. As the screen moved, the bunk bed slowly appeared on the screen—

A figure dressed entirely in black was lying perfectly still on it.

"..."

After experiencing several massive "surprises," He Yu's mood no longer fluctuated significantly, and even strangely, the thought of "I knew it" emerged.

It seems this is the new feature updated in the game after reaching level 5. As expected of level 5, I was disappointed that there were no changes before, but this change is huge. I wonder what they will give when they reach level 10. Can it get any more outrageous?

He Yu picked up the now-cold milk and took a sip. He then tapped the dark figure on the screen, and two options popped up—

[Immersive] [External]

What does this mean?

He Yu tentatively clicked on "Immerse," and the next second, her vision blurred. When her vision cleared again, what appeared in front of her was the frame of the four-poster bed.

He Yu sat up from the bed, looked at her hands, which were bound with sleeves, her fingers long and white. Upon closer inspection, she found an inconspicuous little red dot in the lower left corner of her vision.

She understood.

As the name suggests, "immersive" means "immersive experience," allowing you to directly experience the holographic game you dreamed about yesterday—it's truly thrilling.

After figuring it out, He Yu lay back down on the bed, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was back at home.

She paused for a moment and didn't feel any dizziness or discomfort.

Next, we'll experiment with an external device.

After tapping the option, you see the black figure wearing a cone hat sit up from the bed, walk slowly towards the screen, turn around, and disappear from the screen.

He Yu was taken aback and noticed that two new operation buttons had appeared above the two control buttons on the screen used to control the view and direction, with icons that looked like left and right hands.

A thought struck her, and she tapped the left hand cursor. Immediately, she saw a left hand with a sleeve tied around its neck emerge from the lower left of the screen. Then she tapped the right hand cursor, and a right hand emerged as well.

Wow, isn't this a first-person perspective game?! This is fun too, much more interesting than a simple mobile game.

While happily thinking about it, He Yu adjusted the cursors on his left and right hands and found that he could command the character to do some simple actions, such as waving, clenching his fist, pushing, and pulling. It was quite flexible.

After He Yu canceled the [External] function, the black figure instantly appeared on the four-poster bed, lying on its back with its hands crossed over its abdomen, looking very peaceful.

The cone-shaped cap seemed to be permanently attached to her head, perfectly straight. Its sturdy brim pressed against the bed, pushing her neck into an upward curve, which looked rather awkward. He Yu wondered if she might develop cervical spondylosis over time.

But none of that matters. What matters is that the game now has three ways to play!

He Yu had it all planned out: when some people didn't have time, they could play the mobile game mode; when some people had time, they could play the first-person mode; and when no one had time, they could play the holographic mode.

perfect!

She thought to herself with a smile, "I've finally figured out this game perfectly."

Just as she was about to play the holographic mode a little longer, there was a knock on the door downstairs.

He Yu was startled, his thoughts pulled away from the game, and only then did he realize that it was already 10 o'clock.

It must be Zhang Yushi who's here. We arranged to come and help today before going to bed last night.

He Yu turned off the game, got up, and went downstairs to open the door for her.

Zhang Yushi was wearing a loose tracksuit and carrying a bag of groceries and fruit. As soon as the door opened, she walked in, saying, "Sister Xiaoyu, why are you still wearing your pajamas? Go change your clothes quickly. After we change the dressing, we'll have to cook and tidy up."

He Yu looked at the heavy load in her hands and was a little touched: "Thank you for your hard work, Yu Shi. These fruits must be heavy, right? You printed them out..."

"Did you print the receipt? I'll reimburse you." Zhang Yushi put down her things, grinning as she preemptively delivered He Yu's line, pulling a receipt from her pocket and handing it to her. "You kept reminding me, how could I forget? Here!"

He Yu smiled along with her, took the receipt and looked at it: "578, right? I'll transfer it to you via WeChat later, I'm going to change my clothes first."

Zhang Yushi agreed, then complained to He Yu, "The fruit at that shop is really too expensive. If we bought it from the market, we could save at least 300 yuan."

He Yu was holding onto the handrail as he went upstairs when he heard this and said with a smile, "That won't do. We have to use good materials so that we can keep repeat customers. Anyway, we're making money."

Zhang Yushi sat down to rest in a chair: "That's true."

He Yu quickly changed her clothes, went downstairs, and the two went out together.
