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

The warm atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival had not yet completely dissipated. Yuan Bao was happily immersed in the joy of completing the homestead task and earning points. However, the legendary task of planting a thousand-year-old ginseng, which he had already completed, was like a mysterious vortex, quietly stirring up unknown winds and clouds.

That day, Xiao Lin, who was far away in Beijing, had arranged a time to call Yuan Baotong in advance. After discussing some technical issues related to the vision recovery medicine, the two...

As if suddenly remembering something, Brother Lin lowered his voice and said, "Yuan Bao, do you know? There's a mysterious big shot in Beijing, someone who can shake the entire city with a stomp of his foot. An elder in his family is in poor health and has been desperately searching for the legendary thousand-year-old ginseng to prolong his life. He's sent countless people to look for it, but so far, there's been no result. This thousand-year-old ginseng is truly like a myth; it's not so easy to find!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao's heart skipped a beat. Could this be the follow-up to the task of planting a thousand-year-old ginseng that the system had previously released?

In her space-based medicinal herb field, thousand-year-old ginseng still occasionally pops out and jumps around. Those ginseng babies are now much more mature than before.

Just as I was thinking this, the system notification suddenly sounded: "Ding! Hidden quest for the millennium ginseng triggered - Life-saving assistance. A mysterious bigwig in Beijing is seeking ginseng to prolong the life of his elder. You need to deliver the millennium ginseng to Beijing and personally treat and heal his elder. Quest reward: 10 courtyard houses in Beijing, 5000 points."

Yuan Bao hung up the phone, but his emotions remained unsettled for a long time.

This unexpected hidden mission offers tempting rewards, but the risks are also obvious.

The distance to Beijing wasn't a problem; the main issue was that Yuan Baoya, who had lived two lives—the 42-year-old in the real world and the 12-year-old in the game world—had never met any real big shots.

Now we're facing an unknown powerful family. If we make a mistake, it's not just about losing our ginseng; the real fear is that we and our families will be plunged into endless trouble.

After much hesitation, Yuan Bao decided to discuss it with Xiao 9.

After listening to Yuan Bao's story, Xiao 9's eyes darted around, and he said, "Young Master, we need to think this through. Although we've never dealt with that big shot in Beijing, he sounds like no ordinary person. But the reward is indeed substantial. If it goes through, we'll own 10 courtyard houses in Beijing."

Yuan Bao frowned and replied, "I know, but I'm afraid there are too many variables going there. Also, I only have intermediate-level TCM skills to treat the elderly person; what if something goes wrong..."

Little 9 waved its little paws and comforted, "Master, don't worry too much. Don't forget, you still have the all-powerful game store. How much does a cell recovery pill cost? Relax, it's definitely worth the trip."

“That’s right, we have thousand-year-old ginseng and cell recovery pills, what are we afraid of? Besides, we’ll probably go to Beijing for university in the future, so we have the opportunity to own a courtyard house in Beijing in advance, and even 10 of them. We can also get in touch with big shots in Beijing. What are you still hesitating about?”

So Yuan Bao readily accepted the task.

After accepting the task, she found time to call Brother Lin and told him that she wanted to go to Beijing and asked him to help her out, but she wanted to keep it a secret for the time being. Brother Lin agreed without hesitation and even used his special connections to book her a soft sleeper train ticket for the next day.

Then Yuan Bao told her parents that the vision recovery drug project she was working on with Brother Xiao Lin was at a critical juncture for mass production, so she had to go to Beijing to check it out. Brother Xiao Lin had already bought her a ticket and arranged to pick her up at the station, so they didn't need to worry.

I rushed to school to ask for leave and assured my homeroom teacher, Ms. Li, that I would not fall behind in my studies before I was granted leave.

The next day, 12-year-old Yuan Bao embarked on his journey to Beijing alone. He felt rather...bored and could only pass the time by doing practice problems. Fortunately, he had bought a soft sleeper ticket, so there were no random people to bother him, and the journey was relatively smooth and quiet.

Finally, a day later, they arrived in the capital city, and Yuan Bao followed the system's instructions to find the big boss's residence.

The mansion's gates were tightly shut, adorned with vermilion lacquer and bronze rings, exuding an air of majesty and solemnity.

Yuan Bao stepped forward and knocked on the door. After explaining his purpose, the gatekeeper, seeing that it was a young girl, was suspicious but still went in to help announce her arrival.

Before long, a man who looked like a butler came out to greet her. He looked Yuan Bao up and down, and although he also had doubts in his eyes, he still politely invited her in.

Upon entering the mansion, Yuan Bao saw deep courtyards, carved beams and painted rafters, all exuding luxury.

Led by the butler, she arrived at a room where a beautiful woman in her early forties sat in the main seat. Upon seeing Yuan Bao, the woman asked, "Young lady, do you know why you're here?"

“I know, because I have what you’ve been looking for, so I didn’t dare to make a fuss and could only come here alone,” Yuan Baohao replied fearlessly.

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman became somewhat agitated: "What did you say? You really have it? This is no joke."

Yuan Bao wanted to meet the old man, so he decided to keep it a secret for now. He pretended to be profound and said, "Yes, I have the thousand-year-old ginseng you are looking for, but it's not on me right now. I need to see the patient first."
