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

After successfully acquiring the shop, Yuan Bao was filled with anticipation for the future. He couldn't wait to sit down with his elder brother Bao Guo in the living room to discuss the shop's planning and decoration.

Yuan Bao excitedly opened his tablet computer, displaying the interior design reference images he had already collected.

With excitement shining in his eyes, he said, "Brother, look, we can make good use of this 200-square-meter space. I plan to divide it into two rooms."

Pointing to the design sketch on the screen, she continued to explain, "The small room is about fifty square meters. I want to turn it into a traditional Chinese medicine studio. I usually see patients casually and help those in need to regulate their bodies."

The eldest brother, Baoguo, nodded slightly, and after thinking carefully, replied, "Hmm, that's a good idea. You've studied traditional Chinese medicine, so you'll have a place to put your skills to use. As for the large room, how do you plan to decorate it?"

Yuan Bao smiled broadly and said expectantly, "I'll open a Western-style cafe in Dajian!"

The overall style is European retro, with dark green velvet curtains paired with retro carved wooden tables and chairs, and warm yellow wall lamps, creating a romantic and cozy atmosphere.

In addition to classic coffee drinks, the menu also features authentic Italian pasta and steak, as well as delicate French desserts, offering customers a genuine Western dining experience.

Yuan Bao stroked his chin and added, "Since it's positioned as a Western-style cafe, why not set up a small stage in the corner? We could invite a band to play jazz on weekends to elevate the cafe's ambiance and attract more customers."

Bao Guo's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Yes, yes, little sister, your idea is brilliant! Although I don't quite understand it, I feel that this way, customers who come to drink coffee and eat Western food can also enjoy live music. Just thinking about it is wonderful."

Furthermore, we can launch afternoon tea sets themed around traditional Chinese medicine and wellness, combining TCM principles with Western-style coffee and dining, which will surely attract many people.

The two chatted excitedly, one after the other, as if they could already see the bustling and cozy future of the shop.

With the shop's location determined, Yuan Bao contacted the company that had previously helped renovate his house to continue renovating the shop.

Yuan Bao logged into the game again that evening.

As soon as I stepped into that familiar yet fantastical game world, a crisp system notification rang in my ears: "Ding! A new team quest has been issued."

Yuan Bao's eyes lit up instantly. She skillfully clicked on the task release interface, where two completely different team tasks came into view.

The first task is to team up to challenge the Pagoda Boss dungeon, with the difficulty level displayed as "extremely difficult".

Yuan Bao carefully read the mission details and learned that the internal structure of the pagoda would be randomly generated after entering the dungeon. Players would need to work together to defeat the powerful boss guarding the entrance, and they could only leave after clearing the dungeon or dying. There was only one chance to challenge the dungeon each week.

Although the rewards for completing the mission were very tempting, allowing players to freely choose their favorite items from a rich prize pool, the extremely high difficulty level still made Yuan Bao hesitate. She frowned slightly, weighed the options in her mind, and felt that the fighting mission was not suitable for her, so she reluctantly gave up on the mission.

Next, Yuan Bao's gaze fell on another story mission.

When she saw the mission description, she was slightly taken aback. This mission seemed to be a continuation of the previous storyline related to Xiaoqian.

It turns out that Xiaoqian was given to the Black Wind Monster as his wife by the wicked Tree Spirit Granny, and the Black Wind Monster's cave was extremely hidden and difficult to find.

To complete this task, three team members need to work together. First, they need to make a special delicacy – meat buns – to lure the divine dog out. Then, they need to work together to subdue the divine dog and finally use the divine dog's sense of smell to find the Black Wind Monster's cave.

Regarding mission rewards, players can choose randomly dropped items or specify game points to receive.

When Yuan Baogang saw the reward options, she only glanced at them casually. But when the words "can specify game points" came into view, her pupils dilated instantly, and she froze. After a brief blank, her mind exploded like a firework.

"Points! I can actually specify game points!" she screamed inwardly.

Yuan Bao was determined to upgrade the system again, because after the system was upgraded again, a lot of points would be needed to complete the breakthrough and obtain a new game card.

This game card can be given by Yuan Bao to designated people to help them make up for their regrets and achieve their wish for a fulfilling life through the game. This is the most attractive reason for Yuan Bao to work hard to earn points.

However, the number of points required for system upgrades is enormous. She currently earns a fixed 200 points per day in the game, and the rest comes from completing main quests or various tasks. Yet, her points increase at a snail's pace.

Now, this task is like a timely rain after a long drought, and the storyline is ongoing, giving her a glimmer of hope for accumulating points and for the system to upgrade soon.

The thought of the game cards she would have after the system upgrade and breakthrough made Yuan Bao's heart race. Her hands trembled slightly with excitement. Without hesitation, she quickly clicked to apply to join the story mission team.

After submitting her application, she waited anxiously and expectantly for her teammates' response.

Time passed second by second, each second feeling like a test of her patience.

Just as she was about to lose her composure, the system notification sounded again: "You have successfully joined the team."

Yuan Bao breathed a sigh of relief and eagerly opened the team chat interface, ready to communicate the battle plan with his new teammates.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yuan Bao. I'm happy to complete this task with you all. Let's discuss how to make meat buns first. I've already obtained the maximum cooking skill in the game, and I also have the ingredients for making meat buns, which should come in handy."

Yuan Bao quickly typed the message into the team chat box, clicked send, and then stared intently at the screen, eagerly awaiting his teammates' replies.

Soon, his teammates responded one after another.

A player named "Qingfeng" said, "Wow! Max level cooking skills, that's amazing. I also have some ingredients for making meat buns, which should come in handy."

Another player named "Lingyu" also commented: "We all have ingredients, let's see who can choose to put one later. Also, I'm quite familiar with the terrain in the game, so I'll be in charge of restraining the divine dog once we find it."

With the support of his teammates, Yuan Bao's confidence increased greatly.

Following the recipes and procedures in the game, they added the required ingredients according to the instructions. Finally, Yuan Bao mixed the ingredients in the game's kitchen and put them into the pot one by one.

With his superb cooking skills, Yuan Bao controlled the heat and the addition of seasonings.

After a flurry of activity, the special meat buns, emitting an enticing aroma, were finally completed.

The three of them, carrying meat buns, arrived at the valley where the divine dog was said to roam.

A light mist hung in the valley, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

Yuan Bao carefully took out the meat bun, placed it on the ground, and then hid to the side with his teammates.

A short while later, a cool and handsome young man walked up to the meat bun, picked it up, and started eating it in big bites.

The three people guarding the side were completely bewildered.

These are steamed buns meant for beating dogs. How come the dog didn't see them? Instead, a young man came and stole some buns.
