A Century of Accumulated IQ
"Perhaps, all I changed was the fate of my parents in that secret realm."
Xiao Fan's heart calmed down instantly.
I opened the door, and the house was just as I remembered it.
Uncle Xiao Yi was sitting in a wheelchair, and seemed to be in better condition than before.
He was holding his phone, looking at something, when he heard the door open and instinctively looked up. When he saw that it was Xiao Fan returning, his eyes welled up with barely suppressed excitement.
"Xiao Fan, you're back."
Liu Xiujuan was in the kitchen, peeked out when she heard the noise and was delighted to see Xiao Fan.
"Your uncle was just saying the game was going to be offline for maintenance today, and you should go home. I didn't expect it to be so soon. You must be tired after not being home for so long. Take a rest, I'll go make dinner now."
Feeling the care from his family, Xiao Fan felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and a smile unconsciously bloomed on his face.
He didn't go home last time because of the Myriad Phenomena Platform competition, and he's been busy ever since he left the Novice Zone.
All told, he hasn't been back in the Real World for over two months.
"Thank you for your help, Auntie."
"Oh, you silly child, why are you being so polite with me? Go and rest for a while." Liu Xiujuan said, turning around and going back to the kitchen to busy herself.
Xiao Yi was overjoyed to see his nephew; his whole face instantly lit up with happiness.
As Xiao Fan's reputation in the game grew, more and more posts discussing him appeared on Real World Game Forum.
Xiao Yi's favorite thing to do every day is to browse Game Forum.
He can be happy all day long when he sees others talking about their nephew's gaming achievements and when other players praise and admire their nephew.
If Xiao Yi discovers someone is badmouthing or insulting Xiao Yi, he can argue with that person for an entire day.
His nephew is destined for greatness! How can he allow others to slander him?
"Uncle, you've lost weight." Xiao Fan sat on the sofa and looked at Xiao Yi.
He then realized that although his uncle's mental state had improved considerably, his body was thinner than before.
"Haha~" Xiao Yi laughed twice, patted his chest, and said:
"Your uncle is in a better state now, a little thinner is healthier! Don't worry, I'm doing great, and life is so much more comfortable than before. But you, looking at you again..."
Xiao Yi simply couldn't bring himself to say the word "thin".
Xiao Fan was noticeably more robust than before, and his mental state seemed good as well; it was clear he hadn't experienced any hardship in the game.
Xiao Yi was instantly relieved.
"It seems the forum was right, Xiao Fan is doing very well in the game."
Seeing Xiao Fan's concerned expression, Xiao Yi felt satisfied, but also a little conflicted.
He just couldn't understand how his older brother and sister-in-law, who died while playing games, could have given birth to a child with such high gaming talent.
Does two negatives equal a positive?
It's important to know that Xiao Fan didn't receive any support from his family when he entered the game; they didn't even have the money to buy him a beginner weapon.
Because he had no power or influence, Xiao Fan, who ranked first in the college entrance examination, was assigned to the worst Novice Village, Zone 18.
Of course, now the Zone 18 Novice Village area has surpassed the Zone 1 to become the strongest Novice Zone.
Players who enter the Zone 18 are guaranteed to be able to change to a T2 Rank Profession.
Many players from other servers' Novice Village areas are now willing to give up their current levels and skills in order to transfer to the Zone 18 and find a suitable Profession.
However, Zone 18 is no longer a place that can be entered casually.
All of this was brought about by Xiao Fan's entry into Zone 18.
Whether you convince me or not, it's up to you!
Despite this dire situation, Xiao Fan still rose to the top, surpassing all the new players of his generation, and even many veteran players.
There are no tricks, just sheer brute force!
Finally, Xiao Yi concluded that the wisdom of the Xiao Family for a century had all been concentrated in Xiao Fan alone.
Xiao Fan had no idea what Xiao Yi was thinking at that moment.
Seeing Xiao Yi's expression, he felt a pang of self-reproach.
My uncle is such a resolute person, how could he possibly live a comfortable life after losing both his legs?
"I should have figured out a way to create a limb regeneration skill sooner."
"I still have the opportunity to create skills. I'll try creating one as soon as I log into the game after this update."
After his initial excitement subsided, Xiao Yi began asking Xiao Fan about things in the game.
What you see on the forums are just snippets and details; they don't match the specifics and passion that Xiao Fan himself shared.
Xiao Fan also felt that his family should know how powerful he was.
He created God King Rank Skill, created numerous Profession with levels, surpassed Jian Qingfeng to become number one on the Combat Power Leaderboard, and commanded a thousand-strong army to clear this Dungeon...
Xiao Yi:...
I can't take it anymore! I'm so excited!
So damn exciting!
The mysterious person ranked number one on the forum's combat power list is actually his nephew!!!
Haha! How can this world be so wonderful!
Other families accumulate wealth over a century; the Xiao Family, however, accumulates intelligence over a century.
He's invincible! Even if he were to die right now, he'd probably be smiling.
"Uncle, don't get agitated."
Seeing Xiao Yi so excited he was about to faint, Xiao Fan couldn't help but ask with concern.
Xiao Yi: If I'm not excited now, when will I be? Don't worry about it! I have my own rhythm!
Xiao Fan did not choose to tell Xiao Yi about the storyline of the <Blue Star Game Invasion> secret realm.
The veracity of this story is uncertain; telling them would only cause them more trouble, and it's unnecessary.
"By the way, Uncle, now that we have money, could we move to a nicer house?"
Xiao Fan suggested.
He doesn't need that little bit of Core Power now; with that power, he can give his family a better environment.
Xiao Yi thought for a moment.
He didn't really care, but the current house was indeed unworthy of his nephew's status as the number one Combat Power Leaderboard, so it was worth changing.
"Okay, let's go take a look another day."
"Uncle and Aunt, you two can make the decision. Buy it if you like it. Don't worry about saving money."
Xiao Fan spends most of his time in the game and has limited time in real life. He doesn't have much need for a real house; his main goal is to improve his family's life.
Xiao Yi nodded. Xiao Fan's main focus was still on the game, so it was best not to bother him with real-world matters.
"Dinner is ready, let's eat."
At the dinner table, Xiao Fan noticed that his younger cousins were not present, so he asked them about it.
"They have training after class, so you can eat yours, but I left some food for them."
Xiao Yi spoke.
Ever since learning about Xiao Fan's gaming talent, Xiao Yi's expectations for his son and daughter have unconsciously increased significantly.
While I can't be as powerful as Xiao Fan, I can't be too weak either!
Now that our family's living conditions have improved, we're getting enough nutrition.
Train him! Make him train hard!
Xiao An and Xiao Le were already working hard, but after learning that Xiao Fan had become famous in the game, they were so frightened that they worked even harder!
They were afraid that in the future, when people talked about them, they would say, "That pair of good-for-nothing little brother and sister who were geniuses."
It's terrifying to even think about!
Xiao Fan felt there was no need to work so hard; with him around, it would be hard to be a useless person.
No, but Xiao Fan is one thing.
"Uncle, Aunt, do you want to go back to the game?"
