Learning to play games, a 40-year-old woman achieves a remarkable turnaround.

Yuan Bao sat alone by the window, letting the thick, inky night envelop him.

Memories of the past surged back like a tidal wave, and those days of struggling in the mire of life seemed like just yesterday.

Fortunately, fate finally smiled upon her, allowing her to find a magical game card. From then on, her life seemed to be on a winning streak, her career soared, and her days finally came to an end.

But now, thinking back, Yuan Bao couldn't help but chuckle, secretly blaming himself for forgetting the pain once the wound had healed.

Just as they were settling into a peaceful life, they became impatient again, focusing all their attention on arranging blind dates for their elder brother, Baoguo.

Having gone through so many ups and downs, she knows better than anyone that love and marriage are not child's play, and a happy ending cannot be achieved by a momentary impulse.

The true meaning of this can only be fully understood by savoring it over a long period of time.

Only through the test of time can one see a person's true heart and find that soulmate who loves and understands them.

Rushing and making do often only bring endless pain and regret. In comparison, a free and easy life is much more pleasant.

Having figured all this out, Yuan Bao stood up, took a deep breath, and slowly walked to his elder brother's door.

She raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door. Before her brother could respond, she said impatiently, "Brother, I've thought it through. We're not in a rush anymore."

Feelings can't be forced; take your time, and when you meet the right person, then consider it. I believe everything happens for a reason.

There was a moment of silence in the room, then the door opened, and the eldest brother Baoguo's steady voice came through: "Little sister, I understand what you mean."

I felt bad when I heard people look down on me for coming from a small town.

However, this also made me realize that I need to continuously improve myself.

From now on, I plan to focus more on project work, learn more, and broaden my knowledge and horizons. As for relationships, I'll leave it to fate.

Listening to her elder brother's words, Yuan Bao's lips curled up slightly. She knew that after this ordeal, they had both gained a deeper understanding of life and relationships, and that the future would become even more beautiful with this reflection.

"Brother, if you think about it carefully, this experience wasn't entirely a bad thing. It served as a wake-up call, reminding us of something."

Standing beside his elder brother, Yuan Bao looked at him sincerely and said earnestly, "No matter when, only by continuously improving ourselves and becoming more and more excellent can we attract equally excellent people to our side. Just like the saying goes, 'If you blossom, the breeze will come.'"

She paused slightly, then continued, "Now that our economic conditions are better, that's our source of confidence."

Moreover, a man is in his prime at forty; it is said that a man is at his most beautiful at forty!

So just do as you said, spend more time studying, and broaden your knowledge and horizons.

Don't just bury yourself in your work all the time; pay more attention to your appearance and behavior.

I believe that in less than two years, you will definitely become a mature, stable, and charming person.

After comforting his elder brother, Yuan Bao secretly set a goal for himself.

In addition to jogging every day, I will also resume the physical training and dance practice I had when I was learning to dance.

Yuan Bao knew that her height of 156cm was a disadvantage in the real world, so she thought of the height-increasing pills and body proportion adjustment pills she obtained in the game.

Although each of these pills in the real world can only exert one-tenth of the effect in the game world, and there are certain limitations, she is not discouraged.

Because she has the formula, as long as she persists in consuming it for a long time and focuses on quantity, she should be able to break through 3 to 5 centimeters.

Yuan Bao thought about her age, and even if she could only grow 3 centimeters taller, it would still be a win for her.

She believes that as long as she doesn't give up, every small change will accumulate into a powerful force, making her more confident and outstanding.

Yuan Bao returned to his room, closed the door, lay comfortably on the bed, and logged into the game.

Upon returning to the game world, I immediately entered the alchemy room in the space, opened my inventory, and activated and used the recipes for the height-increasing pill, the body proportion adjustment pill, and the beauty-enhancing pill one after another.

A familiar, dazzling white light suddenly burst forth, followed by a flood of complex refining steps and secrets that rushed into her mind.

Yuan Bao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and carefully sorted through this information, letting the mysterious runes and data flow through his consciousness.

Fifteen minutes later, Yuan Bao slowly opened her eyes. She moved her wrists and then began to prepare for refining.

Thanks to the rich experience accumulated from refining cell recovery pills, refining height-increasing pills and body proportion adjustment pills now feels incredibly easy.

The process of refining Cell Recovery Pills is quite complex, from preparing the medicinal materials to the refining steps and controlling the heat.

Yuan Bao skillfully completed the refining of the height-increasing pill, the body proportion-adjusting pill, and the beauty-enhancing pill, his movements fluid and seamless.

Looking at the finished product emitting a faint glow in the alchemy furnace, she nodded in satisfaction, then opened the game store and searched for the alchemy furnace option among the dazzling array of products.

Little 9, who had been observing silently from the side, couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "My lord, judging from your posture, are you planning to purchase a mid-level alchemy furnace?"

Yuan Bao didn't even look up, his fingers swiping across the screen, quickly filtering for suitable products. He casually replied, "Yes, after the refining just now, I found that these three kinds of pills aren't too difficult to refine. If I buy a few more intermediate-level alchemy furnaces, I can start an alchemy production line, which will greatly improve efficiency."

Upon hearing this, Little 9 couldn't help but chuckle and reminded her, "My dear master, don't forget that you possess alchemy spirit beasts! As long as you learn an alchemy method, they can automatically adapt to your technique and help you with the alchemy tasks."

Yuan Bao suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing, "Oh, right! How could I forget such an important thing? In that case, let's not buy the alchemy furnace for now."

Little 9 didn't stop there and continued to ask, "Whether or not to buy the alchemy furnace is secondary, but my lord, I'm a little curious, why are you only considering the intermediate level?"

Yuan Bao stopped what he was doing and answered matter-of-factly, "Isn't what I'm using now a mid-level alchemy furnace?"

Since the intermediate grade is sufficient for refining, why should I buy the advanced grade? Every little bit helps; you have to be careful with your money when it comes to daily life.

Little 9 was both amused and exasperated, and patiently explained, "Hey! Young master, you seem to have some misunderstanding about 'high-class'?"

Yuan Bao looked puzzled and asked, "Isn't that right? A high-grade alchemy furnace is bound to be more expensive, isn't that obvious?"

Xiao 9 sighed helplessly and said, "The high-grade alchemy furnace is expensive, but its value is definitely worth the price."

Advanced alchemy furnaces not only allow for faster alchemy, but also significantly improve the quality, success rate, and output of pills.

My lady, you don't lack this little bit of money, why make yourself suffer like this?

Yuan Bao frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I just think that intermediate-level alchemy furnaces are cheaper. In the real world, if I were to try to refine pills in the kitchen, the conditions would be similar to those of an intermediate-level alchemy furnace, so I think an intermediate-level one would be sufficient."
