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

Qian Yuan didn't hesitate at all this time. She locked her mind onto the card and gave the command:

[Target: The real world, Yuan Ma.]

[Used: 'Perfect Life' game card.]

[Mode: Log into the game world and return to the point in the past that the target individual most wants to return to.]

The moment the command was confirmed, the card transformed into a warm golden stream of light, silently piercing the barrier between the game and reality, and flying towards that familiar figure in the real world.

In the real world, it's early morning.

Yuan's mother was watching TV in the spacious and bright living room of her new home.

Sunlight streamed in through the large French windows, illuminating her gray hair.

Life has improved, but the ingrained habits of hard work and the vicissitudes of life etched on one's brow are hard to erase.

Just then, a warm and gentle light, which only Yuan Ma could perceive, enveloped her like the warm winter sun.

A strange and peaceful feeling welled up in my heart, as if a long-dormant corner deep within me had been gently awakened.

A clear and gentle thought emerged in her mind:

[A strong desire was detected: to make up for life's regrets and experience the possibility of fulfillment.]

[The 'Perfect Life' game card has been successfully bound.]

[Do you wish to log into the game world and return to the past you most want to go back to?] (Thought-based inquiry)

Yuan's mother was stunned, and the TV remote in her hand stopped in mid-air.

She looked around blankly, her gaze finally settling on a black-and-white photograph of herself in her youth hanging on the living room wall.

The girl in the photo has clear eyes, filled with longing for the future.

An indescribable bitterness and immense longing instantly overwhelmed my defenses.

Those rough edges worn smooth by life, those regrets buried deep in the heart, never spoken to anyone... tears welled up without warning.

She closed her eyes, letting the warm feeling envelop her, and silently but firmly answered in her heart:

【Yes. 】

The game world, a study in a courtyard house.

Yuan Bao sensed the successful card binding through the system, as well as his mother's silent yet overwhelming emotional response.

She let out a long, satisfied sigh, a relieved and gentle smile spreading across her face.

The morning light shone through the window lattice, falling on her and seemingly piercing through time and space, illuminating her mother's tearful yet smiling face in the real world.

Little 9 hovered quietly beside her, watching the genuine smile on her mother's face, her round eyes curving into crescents.

It knew that the young master's choice this time was a different kind of love and fulfillment.

“Xiao 9,” Yuan Bao said softly, her gaze drifting to the vibrant courtyard outside the window, “keep an eye out for Mom after she logs in… If she needs any help, let me know immediately.” She longed to hear her mother’s truly joyful voice, the voice that belonged to her in that mended past.

"Don't worry, Master!" Little 9 nodded vigorously, her cute voice full of seriousness, "Little 9 will protect the Old Madam!"

Yuan Bao smiled, his heart more at ease and full than ever before.

Both she and her mother had the opportunity to start over and make up for their regrets in their respective life trajectories.

This, perhaps, is the true meaning of a "fulfilling life".

The sunlight of the real world shines through the window of the game world, filling the future with hope.

Hopefully, in the near future, Mother will also achieve a breakthrough and obtain a new game card, which can be given to her eldest brother Baoguo. Of course, these are all Yuan Bao's beautiful wishes.

However, I believe that in the near future, there will be a family member who can share the game system with me.

The feeling of "finally being able to share a long-held secret with someone close to me, someone who understands and resonates with me" filled her with excitement and warmth just by imagining it.

At this moment, having shed the worries of reality, Yuan Bao's thoughts had already soared to a more distant place.

She vividly remembered the many advanced technologies she had glimpsed deep within the mysterious "Hall of Mysteries" of the game system.

Now that the system has made a breakthrough, she sees the possibility of contributing these era-changing advanced technologies to the country through appropriate means.

Whether it's promoting development or solving serious environmental problems, both will be missions of extraordinary significance. Only by fulfilling this responsibility to the nation and its people can she truly retire with peace of mind.

However, all of this is predicated on… Yuan Bao’s thoughts were clear and firm.

There is another essential condition: you must wait until all your basic attributes reach their peak after the breakthrough.

Only with a solid foundation and abundant strength can one be qualified to touch the mysteries within the hall and turn dreams into reality.

Having made up her mind, Yuan Bao no longer hesitated. With a slight thought, she brought up her upgraded personal attribute panel, which was now even more magnificent and shimmered with a pale golden aura.

[Game World Attributes]

Wisdom: 158

Stamina: 150

Power: 150

Luck: 155

Agility: 153

(Maximum value after breakthrough: 400)

[Real-world attributes]

Wisdom: 100

Stamina: 100

Power: 100

Luck: 100

Agility: 100

(Maximum value after breakthrough: 200)

Looking at these data, Yuan Bao frowned slightly.

Although the attributes of the game world far exceed those of ordinary people, there is still a long way to go before reaching the peak of 400 points.

The attributes of the real world are suppressed to the "mortal ceiling" of 100 points, remaining unchanged.

If you rely solely on the pitiful few attribute points you get from logging into the game every day, or slowly accumulate them by completing daily tasks... who knows when you'll ever reach the top!

"This efficiency... is too slow," Yuan Bao muttered to himself, a decisive glint in his eyes.

She didn't want to waste her precious time on a long and tedious process.

The technology within the Hall of Mysteries and the plans to contribute to the nation both require her to reach peak performance as quickly as possible!

As soon as the idea came to her, she immediately opened the newly redesigned game store interface.

Mentally input the search keyword: "basic attribute points".

With a swipe, a dazzling array of products appears.

Sure enough!

And there's more than one way.

The most basic option is: [Basic Attribute Points (Single Point)] Price: 10 Gold Coins/point.

You can choose to add it to any attribute in the game world or the real world.

This is a good option for long-term, sustainable growth.

However, Yuan Bao's gaze was instantly drawn to a gift pack icon at the very top of the list, shimmering with iridescent colors and featuring an extremely ornate design:

[Supreme Gift Pack for Basic Attribute Points]

Description: Reach the pinnacle in one step! Purchasing this pack will permanently boost all of your basic attributes in both the game and real worlds to their theoretical maximum values! No need for lengthy accumulation, instantly enjoy an extraordinary foundation!

Price: 200,000,000 gold coins (200 million gold coins)

Wow! My goodness!

Even though Yuan Bao knew he had a large gold coin reserve, he was still startled by the "beautiful" price.
