My beautiful girl information is updated at any time

[Mo]: Actually, it's because I found a game that requires two computers to play, so I can't play it at your house. I really want to play this game with you.

[Mo]: You are great, you are the best, you have been since childhood, my best friend.

After a while,

【Qingran】: Hmm.

Your words soothed the girl's lonely and restless heart.

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

[Mo]: I'll send you the game installation package. Just follow the instructions to download it.

The game is called "Minecraft". Lin Mo has prepared a lot, but Li Qingran is not in a good state right now, so this one would be more suitable.

【Qingran】: Okay.

Under Lin Mo's guidance, the girl quickly completed the controls and entered the game.

To reply to Li Qingran's messages promptly, Lin Mo kept his phone screen on.

I taught Li Qingran the basic game controls, and the girl learned very quickly: left-click to attack, right-click to place, the workbench for crafting, and the furnace for smelting.

This game is very immersive and easy to pick up, making it suitable for all ages. Li Qingran happens to belong to the "young" age group.

He guessed that children's nature is nothing more than freedom and romance, so he took Li Qingran on a journey in this game world to experience that kind of spontaneity.

Lin Mo looked forward to the boundless freedom of the world, hoping it would spark some interesting interactions with her.

When walking across the grass in the game, she will try her best to avoid the blocks with flowers and grass.

She only felt at ease and followed him after Lin Mo demonstrated to her that the flowers and plants wouldn't be trampled.

When passing through the jungle, she would be like a curious cat, looking left and right. If she accidentally cut a piece of wood, she would frantically try to pick it up.

Beneath the green shadows of the trees, the graceful figures of young girls could be seen.

As she walked across the sand, she wondered why Steve didn't sink into it, and why he didn't get thirsty in the desert.

As the girl strolls through the snow-capped mountains, she wonders why Steve doesn't feel cold.

Lin Mo really didn't know how to explain it to her. That's how the game code was written, but he couldn't just tell her that.

As night fell, monsters roamed freely. Li Qingran would frantically bury herself in their shells, listening to Lin Mo's battle with the monsters on the ground, constantly sending him messages:

[Qingran]: Why are the monsters attacking Steve?

[Qingran]: Steve is so lonely...

[Qingran]: Are zombies and skeletons Steve's friends?

[Qingran]: Please don't hit them, okay?

Lin Mo was a little confused. If they didn't fight monsters, they might as well just wait to die...

She explained:

It's said that zombies turn to ash during the day, and that skeleton bones make plants grow faster...

Zombies and skeletons are both Steve's friends. To avoid harming Steve, the zombies choose to burn during the day, while the skeletons, to leave Steve with a better world, use their bodies as nutrients for plants...

The Enderman, Little Black, dared not look Steve in the eye, probably because it was afraid its friends would see its ugly appearance...

The bright green Creeper always has a crying expression... It must have wanted to watch the fireworks with its friends, so it turned into a firework... But it couldn't bear to leave Steve, so it cried...

...

The girl's peculiar yet gentle explanation made Lin Mo put down his sword.

Together we huddled underground, lit torches, and spent countless nights wandering.

The torches hissed, and the girl would keep her distance, afraid that Steve, whom she was controlling, would get burned.

It was as if she wasn't using a game character; she was making friends with Steve in the game.

He understood the girl a little better; in her world, there was no absolute evil, and she longed to imagine everything in the most benevolent direction.

She can empathize with everything except herself.

Carrying the young girl across the sea, where there are no monsters at night, she can gaze up at the floating starlight.

Lin Mo installed a lighting and shadow module to make the sky look more realistic.

When the starry sky completely robbed the girl of her sense of time...

Suddenly, her voice call came through...

Lin Mo was taken aback, but didn't dare to delay for a moment. He immediately answered the call, turning down the volume to make sure Jiang Wanfeng wouldn't hear.

A girl's ethereal voice came from the phone.

"Lin Mo..."

"I'm here."

"The stars are just like when I was a child."

"Outside, it's out of sight."

"I heard the sound of the stars..."

I want to hear...your voice again.

In cities with light pollution, you really can't see the stars.

His way of speaking was very naive, but every word was so penetrating, as if it wasn't her who was being redeemed, but rather his soul that was being purified...

"Can you hear me?" Lin Mo's throat was a little dry.

"Mmm." The girl's breath seemed to be right next to his ear.

"Lin Mo, there are fish in the ocean, and there are fish in the pond too," she suddenly said, manipulating her fishing rod in the game.

Lin Mo thought she was going to say something like, "How can you fish in this game if there's water?"

But the girl's words inexplicably touched him.

Even small fish have their own ocean.

Hearing the girl's words, Lin Mo felt a tightness in his chest. Ideas like friends, partners, passion, and bonds flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

"Lin Mo, where is our home?"

The girl's words followed in quick succession, and a feeling of suffocation instantly spread throughout Lin Mo's body.

He realized he was wrong; he had been wrong from the very beginning.

Her motivation for following Lin Mo into the wandering world was not at all a yearning for innocent and carefree freedom.

She simply believed that even in a game, as long as you keep walking and walking...

To the ends of the earth,

Then you'll find zombies unafraid of sunlight, black creatures willing to look you in the eye, and creepers that no longer cry.

Then you will have many friends.

Then you will have a warm home.

Where is home?

This is a question that can be elevated to the level of philosophy.

He didn't know Li Qingran well enough; he only vaguely remembered that she was taken away by a very wealthy family when she was a child.

Everyone in the courtyard thought she would be the one who had the best life.

Now it seems that is not the case.

Li Qingran, where is your home?

If the other person were a normal person, he might ask this question without thinking, but the other person is Li Qingran, who is unique, above all else, the beautiful and holy Li Qingran.

He vaguely understood what the girl needed most.

The receiver crackled, his heart pounded, and the thought of what he was about to say made him incredibly nervous.

"Qingran, let's build a home."

As she finished speaking, the crackling of electricity conveyed the girl's utterly defeated state.

Chapter 11 In her ramblings, the girl opens her heart.

When do children stop wanting to grow up?

This kind of thinking is almost nonexistent in children. When people are young, they always think about when they will grow up, no longer be restricted by their parents, and be able to buy the toys they like and play the games they like.

No health system pops up on my phone, I won't get scolded by my parents for coming home late, and I won't get chased and beaten by my mother for eating a bag of spicy snacks...

Children all want to grow up; the yearning for freedom that comes with adulthood is often the driving force behind a child's growth.

Unless, from childhood she never felt the constraints of life, never felt the warmth of family.

To put it nicely, she was free from beginning to end; to put it bluntly, she was confused and lonely from beginning to end.

They lack the drive to look forward to the future and to grow, and are forever attached to the past.

[Special intelligence target: Li Qingran]

[Supplementary Intelligence]

Li Qingran is the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy businessman. Her mother secretly gave birth to her, hoping to gain status through a son. However, when she was surprised to find it was a daughter, she abandoned Li Qingran at an orphanage and concealed everything. It wasn't until she was on her deathbed that she revealed the truth to the businessman, and Li Qingran was taken away...

The wealthy businessman gave her an endless allowance, an exquisite villa, and a high-paid nanny, allowing her to live in the small town of Shi'an... but due to work and family reasons, he rarely took care of her personally...

The young woman dismissed her nanny and has been living alone for many years...

Intelligence appears to be divided into two types: real-time updates and updates added as the phase progresses.

Lin Mo's understanding of Li Qingran improved, and the intelligence also provided more information about her background.

A melodramatic family, a beautiful young girl.

The concept of "home" is indeed one of her biggest concerns.

"Home...us?" A girl's broken voice came through the phone.

"Hmm, after traveling for so long, which place do you like the most?"

"Actually, I've been waiting for you to ask: wherever you like, that's where we'll build our home."

Lin Mo said somewhat embarrassedly that he hadn't thought of this at all at first, but it wasn't too late to explain now...

"You...have you always wanted to?" Li Qingran's voice sounded very unsettled.

Of course not...

Lin Mo hesitated for a moment. The white lie had already been sown; he might as well go all the way.

"Yes, I've always thought so. I didn't take good care of you when you were little, but at least in the game... I can give you a home."

After saying these words, Lin Mo felt his nose grow longer and goosebumps rose all over his body.

My heart is so dirty... But then I thought of Jiang Wanfeng, her heart is even dirtier, and my little schemes are nothing.

It was all to save lives; it's more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. Even Buddha would forgive him.

"..."

Immediately afterward, Li Qingran fell silent, making Lin Mo even more nervous. Had he accidentally stepped on another landmine? That shouldn't be the case...

Even with such a gentle approach, how could I still make a mistake? When did gentleness cease to be valued?

If you had said that to Jiang Wanfeng, she might already be pregnant...

Lin Mo didn't dare add any more ingredients, afraid that if he said too much, he would become like Brother Cheng and be taken on a trip by Li Qingran with his corpse.

They waited like that, glancing at the time; it was almost midnight. Without Miao Miao's music to liven things up tonight, Jiang Wanfeng was probably still in her post-coital state.

In the game, the character controlled by the girl remained motionless, and her fishing rod had already missed several fish.

The scene extends from night to day.

The small boat rocked back and forth, making Lin Mo feel very unsafe.

"..." was the sound of Li Qingran's breathing.
