Chapter 200: Having a Radish at Home is Like Having a Treasure
When Xu Xiaoyue first started practicing swordplay, she was a bit overwhelmed.
“Why on earth am I, a perfectly normal mage, practicing swordplay?!”
But after a while, she started to get a bit carried away…
This feeling of ping-pong, swinging that sword? It’s exhilarating!
Players have their quirks. The initial class choices are just for the system to hand out corresponding rewards; it doesn’t mean if you master spells, you can’t master swordsmanship too.
But most people won’t even consider that; it’s a waste of time, effort, and money, and the returns are low.
The game is still in the early stages, and everyone opts for the most efficient way to play—it’s not like in the late game when everyone’s twiddling their thumbs.
Of course, there are some players who are just bored out of their minds, but let’s not get into that.
Yuliya chose to teach Little Moon sword skills for a reason.
First, she had plenty of resources, starting out way ahead of the pack.
Second, if Little Moon becomes more in sync later on, it might have some real-life implications.
A pure mage has no real advantages at the beginning; a flimsy body only slightly stronger than an average person.
You’ve got to wait for the late-game to be a real powerhouse.
She just wanted to help Little Moon through the early phase better.
As for what Little Moon does later? That’s up to her.
At least for now, it seems she’s really interested in swordplay.
“Swordsmanship is so cool! I saw Little Wind in the event dungeon, and he was absolutely amazing!”
Bottom line: as long as she likes it!
No need to rush; they’ve got time.
After practicing for a while, the two of them took a break at the stone table in the yard.
“Little Wind, didn’t you say those skills were in the affection shop?”
“Yep.”
“Then here’s a problem.” Xu Xiaoyue sat up straight, stroking Yuliya’s hair. “Even though those skills are tweaked from what you used in the events, they still share some similarities. People are bound to get suspicious.”
She didn’t underestimate internet sleuths—those people have imaginations bigger than the sky. They can connect black and white and mix green and red into yellow.
“Right, I’ll need your help then.”
“Couldn’t you just not post them? What’s done is done, but for the future, just take them down.”
“No way! I need to make money. Let them think whatever they want!”
For Yuliya, making money and completing quests is priority number one.
As for what happens after she completes the quest? If her disguise is exposed, so be it.
She has her stuff here; if you want to keep playing with me, great, but if not, whatever.
Xu Xiaoyue tilted her head, “Are you really short on cash?”
“Yes!”
“Then… I’ve still got several hundred thousand gold coins left; just take them! After all, they’re from mooching off your live room.”
“No need! We’ve split the earnings already. Just think of it as pocket money from your big sister.”
“…”
Xu Xiaoyue smacked her forehead.
She suddenly remembered, sitting in front of her was the ultimate rich little sister!
After the event was over, she got rewarded with over 40 million in gold coins! Converting that to RMDB? Over 4 billion!
And that’s not even accounting for what she made before—she couldn’t even imagine how much that would be!
Who was she to look down on a mere few hundred thousand gold coins?
“With all that gold, you still don’t have enough?”
“I’m still a bit short. I’ve got one really tricky quest. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so busy every day, like I’m working a job.”
But honestly, it was thrilling!
“Is it really stressful?”
“A bit, but I’m okay.”
Xu Xiaoyue hugged Yuliya and rocked her like a cradle: “Sorry, I’ve probably put a lot of pressure on you before. Back then, I really had no idea you were… uh, well, you know, this. Every time I didn’t do well, I put pressure on you.”
“Nah. If anything, it was fun,” Yuliya covered her mouth and chuckled.
“Watching you complain and get all worked up was quite the show!”
When Xu Xiaoyue thought about that, her forehead went vein-popping crazy.
d*mn it! This little sister! So mischievous!
“Oh, it’s fun, huh? Just how fun is it?”
She dramatically bonked her on the head.
“How dare you hit your sister!”
“Sister, huh?”
Xu Xiaoyue prepared to bonk her again.
But then a system alert popped into her mind.
Ding! Warning! Do not engage in harmful behaviors toward NPCs! Serious consequences may follow!
Xu Xiaoyue froze mid-motion.
What the…?! What kind of nonsense is this?!
Harmful behavior? Really? Talking about whacking a little sister?
Seeing Xu Xiaoyue freeze up, Yuliya waved her hand in front of her face: “Little Moon? Are you crashing? Time for customer support!”
“I… I just got a system warning…”
“Eh?” Yuliya looked a bit bewildered.
But then she struck a pose, hands on her hips, like a victorious rooster.
“Hmph! I am an NPC! You’d better respect me more! Remember to call me ‘Sister!'”
Gah, Sister Tong’s on her side!
Xu Xiaoyue felt a bit deflated and rubbed the spot she had just hit: “You’re cheating. I’m not playing with you anymore.”
“Then let’s keep practicing swordplay.”
And so, Yuliya had Xu Xiaoyue practice swordplay all day.
As for the live stream? Well, “Nuclear Bomb Little Sister” was still a few days away from debuting, and Xu Xiaoyue simply said she’d overdone it during her last stream and was tired, so she needed a break.
Now she was a big streamer and could afford to be a bit haughty.
After logging off, the two of them discussed the messages from their class group for quite a while.
The messages mainly said that tomorrow afternoon, a teacher would come to explain the gaming program, and interested students should definitely attend.

The school really accommodates the students. Early classes get skipped for naps, late classes are ditched for games, and only the afternoon sessions have the highest attendance!
As for the gaming program, Xu Xiaoyue decided she’d check it out.
“Little Moon, no problem switching to that gaming major, but remember two things.”
“First, absolutely do NOT reveal my identity, and don’t tell anyone you know ‘Wind.’”
“Okay, okay, I get it. Your situation really is something else.”
“Second, keep your eyes peeled. The school is definitely collecting in-game info, so don’t report everything truthfully. Being about 70-80% accurate is good enough, especially regarding skill sets—just casually drop one or two as hints.”
This left Xu Xiaoyue puzzled: “Why? If the country is really promoting this major, the school should have the authority to check information, right?”
“Not necessarily; or rather, they basically don’t have that authority, not even the country does.”
“This…?”
“You think if they had the authority, I’d still be standing here? I was invited for tea right after the game launched.”
“Whoa…”
This was a bit spine-tingling, to say the least.
“Trust me, you won’t go wrong.”
“Okay, okay, got it.” Xu Xiaoyue came closer and ruffled Xu Xiaofeng’s hair, “Didn’t expect you to be this cautious!”
“Hmph! I’ve always been very careful, you know!”
“Right, right, our Wind God is the best.”
Usually, she’s quite scatterbrained and adorably silly, but when it counts, she’s super reliable.
Can’t help but like her more and more!
Then, Xu Xiaoyue scooped Xu Xiaofeng up in a princess carry: “Time for bed!”
“Hey! No!”
“Don’t want? Too bad!”
