Chapter 195 The Rural Girl in "Metamorphosis" 38+ Real World
We spent two hours wandering around the temple, mainly taking photos. We had a vegetarian meal at the temple for lunch, which, to be honest, suited most people's tastes, but wasn't particularly delicious.
After having a meal and resting briefly in the dining hall, everyone went out to stroll around the streets.
Seeing the exquisite handicrafts, after inquiring about the materials used in their production, everyone bought a few pieces. They were indeed very unique, and they considered them as souvenirs. In any case, they didn't touch any of the items associated with religious beliefs.
They strolled around until evening, then returned to Hualong Restaurant to have dinner and thank the owner, since they were heading to their next destination the next day and probably wouldn't have many chances to meet again.
Because the grandparents were quite old, the production team arranged for them to visit several scenic countries, such as Jeju Island in South Korea, Switzerland, and London.
After having a great time with her grandmother, Liu Yuxi returned to school to continue her postgraduate studies after the program ended.
Knowledge in the field of computers is constantly being updated; I completed my master's degree and then my doctorate.
However, while she was pursuing her postgraduate studies, she developed some small games. After asking Lin Ziye's wife if she was interested, she handed the games over to her to manage, and she was only responsible for collecting the money.
She had enough money for her entire life. When she was pursuing her doctorate, she announced her decision to retire from the entertainment industry on Weibo. Of course, apart from her fans, no one cared. Stars in the entertainment industry come and go, and there are only so many "evergreen" stars.
While pursuing her doctorate, she joined a national research institute with her supervisor. Her main research focused on holography. By the time she achieved her results at the age of 35, her grandmother had been moved into the "family compound".
The latest technologies are definitely not applied to civilian life; they are initially used primarily by the military, and at first, they were applied to special forces combat exercises.
In her spare time, she would start researching holographic games. These things are incredibly lucrative, practically monopolistic. Of course, she only owned a tiny share; the rest was left to the government to manage.
Then, she went home to stay with her grandmother for a few years. After all, her grandmother was eighty years old. Although the government arranged for a caregiver to live with her, Liu Yuxi was her only relative in the world. The emotional companionship that the staff could not provide was something that the grandmother had to do.
Although Liu Yuxi helped Grandma Liu take care of her health, her constitution was still weak. She had worked too hard when she was young, and the grief of losing her son in middle age caused her to pass away at the age of 86.
As Liu Yuxi experienced more and more of the world, she became less and less concerned about life and death. After her grandmother passed away, Liu Yuxi devoted herself to the research institute.
The money she earned in this world was completely useless. She was always surrounded by people at her workplace and when she traveled, so she had no way to buy things to store in her space. Moreover, the government provided for all her needs, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
So after keeping only a small amount of money, she donated the rest. She thought, "My spiritual power has already manifested. I don't know if I'll accumulate merit later, but even if I don't, people say that virtuous people are blessed by Heaven. Anyway, I have more money than I can spend, so I might as well do good deeds."
Don't underestimate her income in this life. The release of the holographic game alone brought her tens of billions in dividends, so the amount of money she donated to charity was astonishing. Of course, she requested anonymity, and whether the government would announce it after her death was not her concern.
Liu Yuxi lived to the age of 91, and even in the two months before his death, he frequently visited research institutes. His life can truly be described as one of struggle.
Back in the real world, Liu Yuxi lay in bed, not wanting to move at all. To be honest, physical labor is tiring, but once the body is rested, the person recovers. However, mental labor is mentally taxing, and with the brain constantly running, Liu Yuxi felt extremely tired.
Although the system will automatically filter her memories and emotions when she returns to the real world, she didn't have any emotions at all in her previous life. After the age of 30, she was just a research machine. She doesn't want to get out of bed at all now.
I sent my mom a message saying I stayed up late last night and needed to sleep all day, so don't knock. Then I pulled the covers over myself and went to sleep.
Believe it or not, she actually fell asleep, but her dreams were still filled with research formulas. Damn, it's become a professional habit.
When she woke up, she was completely groggy. Her mother was shocked to see her like this, since Liu Yuxi is a short sleeper, meaning she only needs to sleep 4.5 hours a day, accounting for about 5% of the world's population.
Aside from when Liu Yuxi was sick, she had never seen her daughter like this before. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should we go to the hospital?"
Liu Yuxi waved his hand: "No need, I just have writer's block. I was thinking about the plot last night and it got too complicated. Just give me a couple of days to recover."
"Are you going to eat or not? Are there any leftovers from lunch? Or should we eat together at dinner? I'll cook dinner in a bit."
"Let's eat together tonight, I don't have an appetite right now!"
Lying on the sofa, Wangcai lay beside her, glancing at her every now and then. Wangcai was probably wondering if this two-legged creature was acting a little strange.
Liu Yuxi patted Wangcai's head and laughed. "What's with that look?" she asked. "Well, the two-legged creature is back to normal." Wangcai ignored her and lay down on the ground to rest with its eyes closed. Liu Yuxi idly stroked Wangcai, letting her mind wander.
She doesn't want to do anything right now, doesn't want to think, doesn't want to write novels, doesn't want to go out, and doesn't want to move.
This isn't right. Could I be getting depressed? Uh, I can't get depressed. Although many people these days have some tendency towards depression, I still need to adjust my mindset in time.
Liu Yuxi sat up abruptly from the sofa: "Mom, stop burning it, let's go out for hot pot tonight!"
"You want to eat hot pot? Then call your dad!"
"okay!"
"Du...du..."
"Hey!"
"Dad, when are you going to settle down?"
"There are still about ten minutes left, what's wrong?"
"We're having hot pot tonight! Come home after you finish your game, Mom and I will be waiting for you!"
"Why are you having hot pot? Okay! Okay! Bye!"
That's the good thing about Liu Yuxi's family. Whether it was in the past or now, no one in the family would object to eating out. Liu's mother just didn't want to cook and wash the dishes, and Liu's father thought that the food outside was better than what Liu's mother cooked.
Haha, whatever the reason, the result is that everyone is happy. The only difference is that the restaurants we go to now are a bit more upscale, and we can be more generous when ordering. However, none of us have the habit of wasting food. We will pack up any leftovers, since it's all for our family to eat anyway.
After telling my mom, the two of them went back to their rooms to change. No matter how old a woman is, she should still dress up before going out.
