Avoid detours, start by running a nursing home.

"Isn't that obvious?!"

"Is it that I don't want to capture auspicious beasts or phoenixes?"

The old man was so angry at Zhang Yang's words that he jumped up and down.

"I've been searching through Dragon Cave for so long, catching so many pets, but they're either lacking in aptitude or have the wrong skills. It's not as simple as you make it out to be!"

He huffed and plopped back into his chair, "Today I teamed up with others to go down the Dragon Cave, and we finally saw a baby phoenix. We agreed I could catch it!"

"As a result, I failed to catch it even once, and someone else stole it!"

"And then they were smugly saying in the team chat that the baby's aptitude was 1.2!"

How could I not be angry?!

The old man got angrier and angrier as he spoke, which frightened Liu Jing and the others who were around him. They had to persuade and calm him down after a lot of persuasion.

After they finished their work, they all looked up at Zhang Yang with resentful expressions.

Do you think it was easy for us to save the old man?

Why are you going to provoke them?

"Hey, you should have said so earlier!"

Zhang Yang slapped his thigh hard, looking indignant: "Those people who steal babies are the most despicable!"

"If it were me, I'd quit the team and use the Soul-Hooking Rope to hook him!"

"A soul-snatching rope? What's that?"

Old Jiang looked completely bewildered.

Zhang Yang blinked. Could it be that the Soul-Hooking Rope was added in a later update?

"Uh, that's not important!"

He shook his head decisively: "You're just going to let him go like that? Aren't you going to leave the team and challenge him to a duel?"

"I don't like fighting. Who would want to engage in PvP in the wild for no reason?"

Old Jiang looked dejected when he talked about it: "At most, I can only curse him a few times in the chat channel."

"But I type so slowly..."

"Turns out, that person was the team leader's friend, and they just kicked me out of the team. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so angry..."

Seeing the old man's dejected appearance, Zhang Yang's eyes were full of sympathy.

It's no wonder that a former world champion like him couldn't control his emotions after being bullied like this in an online game.

If it were me, I probably wouldn't have fared much better.

Even if they don't get so angry that they break a body, they'll probably end up smashing a keyboard or mouse or something.

Looking at the old man, he began to ponder.

Now that the confrontation has been resolved and the truth of the matter has been clarified,

I've vented my anger, and the other person isn't as arrogant as before. The next thing to do is figure out a way to solve the problem.

Of course, the most important thing is to complete the task and earn the money. We need to find a way to raise the old man's favorability to over sixty.

As for Liu Jing and the others' hope to persuade the old man to stop playing games, his thoughts were somewhat different.

He later saw a news report about an old lady playing Honor of Kings on her phone and getting a pentakill.

It's perfectly normal for an old man to enjoy playing Fantasy Westward Journey.

As people get older, it's good to keep your mind active; it's better than an elderly person being idle and bored.

Moreover, Fantasy Journey to the East is a turn-based game with a slow pace, making it relatively suitable for older people.

If it were a dungeon in World of Warcraft where you fight the Black Dragon Princess, he definitely wouldn't dare let the old man play it.

Otherwise, if a single breath of dragon fire wipes out the entire group, and the old man gets agitated, that would be quite a sight.

Today's situation is a special case. As long as I can control the intensity appropriately and take better care of him in the future, nothing should go wrong.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang looked up at the other person.

Seeing that after their previous conversation, the number representing the other person's favorability rating had slowly risen back to forty, he had a general idea of ​​what to expect.

"You want a mythical beast, a baby phoenix, right?"

Zhang Yang glanced at the computer screen and nodded: "Well, Mr. Jiang, I do have an idea. Would you like to hear it?"

Everyone in the room was taken aback and looked up at him.

Upon hearing this, Old Jiang frowned.

What are your thoughts?

The old man hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

No matter what they're up to, we should wait and see.

"It's easy..."

Zhang Yang crossed his arms and leaned back on the computer desk: "You're angry because someone took your baby away, aren't you?"

As he spoke, he pulled out an arm and patted the computer screen beside him: "Then I'll help you, won't I?"

"I'll create an account too, and then we can team up and catch some pets together!"

"Anyway, this game isn't too difficult to play. If you want, I'll create four accounts and carry you through one. We'll be fine catching good pets then, won't we?"

"Even if we don't catch it, I'll help you farm more game currency to exchange for money and set up a stall. We'll be able to pick a good one, right?"

Taking him to play games shouldn't be a problem.

But he didn't dare to directly encourage the old man to buy game cards to exchange for game currency.

On the one hand, there's the fear that if the other person gets hooked on spending money on in-game purchases, they might lose control and end up doing more harm than good.

On the other hand, there is also a system of punishment mechanisms. What if encouraging people to spend money on in-game purchases is considered unethical?

How much money will be deducted from the old man's pocket for every point card he recharges?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! Once the money's in my pocket, nobody can take it away, not even God!

"Why?!!"

The old man was stunned.

Everyone else standing inside and outside the house was also stunned.

Liu Jing stared at Zhang Yang, her eyes so wide they looked like they might pop out.

Good grief, I told you to persuade Old Jiang to stop playing games.

You're really going to bring him along?

Is this how you run a nursing home?

She was both anxious and angry, and just as she was about to speak, she heard a loud slap.

Old Jiang clapped his hands and stood up with a joyful expression.

"Haha, Xiao Zhang, is what you said really true?"

"You want to team up with me to grind monsters?!"

"That's great! I'm the only one in our nursing home who likes to play this game, and nobody plays with me."

"I'm usually slow at the game, and my teammates often criticize me. Now it's getting harder and harder to find people to team up with."

"With your help, my baby definitely won't have to worry!"

Everyone around was dumbfounded by the excited look on Old Jiang's face.

Goodness, he was calling him a little brat just now, and now he's calling him Little Zhang?

So affectionate?

What kind of game is this?

Does it have such great magic?

"Come here, Xiao Zhang, come quick. I also installed games on this computer before."

"I have some game cards here, I'll top them up for you in a bit."

Before everyone could recover from their shock, Old Jiang eagerly pulled Zhang Yang to sit down next to him and eagerly turned on the phone for him.

Finally, looking at him nervously, she asked, "So, Zhang, how's your gaming skill?"

"You can't be worse than me, can you?"

"That's absolutely impossible!"

"That's good, that's good!"

"Haha, by the way, which sect did you choose?"

"Since you've already chosen the Dragon Palace, how about I choose a Healer to heal you?"

"Oh, this is great! Come on, the computer's on, hurry up and get into the game!"

An elderly person and a young child sat in front of a computer.

The old man's enthusiastic expression left everyone around him looking at each other in bewilderment.

Good heavens, there's no trace of the high blood pressure attack and half-dead state he was just experiencing!

"No, Mr. Jiang, you..."

Li Xiaoyun stamped her foot in frustration, but before she could speak, Liu Jing grabbed her arm.

She turned around and saw Director Liu looking thoughtfully at the old man and the young man in front of her. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head...

"Let's wait and see..."
