Sophia grimaced.
This old man seemed to love ‘roasted eggplant with minced pork’ and was constantly talking about it! How could she look at the actual roasted eggplant with minced pork after this?
“That’s enough, Dad. I can handle this and I’ll come to you if I need your help! Besides, I have to learn as I grow. I can’t be relying on you for everything!”
Upon hearing this, Cooper dropped the matter. He was relieved but also a little disappointed.
For the entire day, Sophia had been catching up with the business operations. Exhausted, she washed up and got ready for bed.
Michael had not been around for a few days. Thus, Carmen had been staying with Sophia and had been sleeping with her every night.
During the day, Carmen’s nannies played with her and took care of her. At night, one of them would stay over and sleep in the next room.
There were some changes to Sophia’s bed; a guard rail was installed on the side of her bed to prevent Carmen from falling off the bed when she slept.
Hugging her teddy bear, Carmen had her eyes wide open and was still wide awake as she talked to Sophia.
“Mommy, when can we go to the zoo? I want to see the lion!”
“When Daddy comes back in a few days, we’ll go to the zoo together,” Sophia murmured tenderly as she pinched Carmen’s tiny face.
A moment later, Carmen asked again, “When can we go see the panda?”
“When Daddy comes back!”
Upon hearing that, Carmen was pleased. Then, she went to sleep while hugging her teddy bear.
When Carmen was asleep, Sophia stared at her phone. Michael’s phone number had vanished from her phone and he had disappeared from Messenger too.
Sophia had no idea how to reach him.
In a daze, she stared at the list. Suddenly, a group chat named ‘Gay Swordsman Group’ appeared and someone named ‘stupid dog’ typed, ‘@group: Everyone, there’s an event tonight for the 15th anniversary of the Swordsman Game! There will be special sets, new maps, and new monsters! Who wants to join?’
‘Me,’ Sean replied.
‘Old Wolf and I too. He’s preparing milk right now,’ Sarah replied.
‘I want to join too,’ Imported Young Man wrote.
Sophia had just learned to use Messenger so she was still a little confused with group chats. After fumbling for a moment, she replied that she would join as well.
Sarah had downloaded the Swordsman Game for Sophia. Previously, Sophia had kept a record of all her accounts and passwords in a little notebook. Logging into one of the old accounts, she entered the game and into the game room that Stan mentioned.
It had been a few days since she retrieved the game and she was slowly getting familiar with it, already familiar with the basic functions. Even though she had forgotten, her instincts were still present as she played the game.
When she entered the game room, there were already a number of people in the team. One by one, she identified each gamer—Stan was ‘Snow Fox’, Harry was ‘Beast’, Sarah was ‘Little Kitten’, Sean was ‘Dragon Belle Warrior’, and the last one was ‘Moon Breeze’, which was obviously Linus.
Although Uncle Linus looked like a foreigner, in fact, he was a gentle and old-fashioned man.
Meanwhile, Sophia was ‘Sirius 233’, a male character.
‘Is everyone here yet? We’ll start right away,’ Stan wrote.
As soon as he said that, a magnificent golden light special effect shone from the sky in the game. A colorful light cascaded from the sky before a male character in golden armor descended from the sky and landed before Sophia.
Sophia examined this character, who was wearing a golden armored robe with a long sword hanging on his green silk waistband—the character design was very cool.
