Chapter 164

It was my friend's first visit to Starry Sky Kindergarten.

He looked a bit like a country bumpkin visiting a grand mansion, glancing around in wonder, marveling at everything he saw.

Starry Sky Kindergarten had dedicated aunties to clean the place.

It was kept impeccably neat and tidy, a sight that would satisfy even the most obsessive-compulsive person.

Maintaining such a high standard in such a large place was no easy feat.

But it was these little details that left everyone who entered Starry Sky Kindergarten in awe.

My friend was so overwhelmed he didn't dare speak, just followed along quietly.

Gu Qingyan led him to his room, and upon entering, even he was a bit shocked.

The entire room had a blue theme, which looked incredibly stylish.

Moreover, the whole decor had a very design-forward feel.

It was clearly the work of a renowned designer, perfectly suited for young people their age.

"This is the room Shen Wei decorated for you." As soon as he said it, my friend wished he could bite his tongue.

He knew he shouldn't have opened his big mouth. Sure enough, his comment seemed to flip a switch in Gu Qingyan.

He hadn't given him an opening before, but now he was going to show off his relationship.

Now that it was mentioned, Gu Qingyan's face lit up: "That's right, this was custom-designed by Shen Wei just for me!"

He emphasized this point specifically.

"Isn't it cool? The moment I walked in, I felt like this room was meant for me."

Having an independent room of one's own at Starry Sky Kindergarten meant that the Starry Sky Kindergarten family had truly accepted him.

My friend was speechless, then glanced at the gaming pod: "Can I play with this?"

That gaming pod was the real reason he came.

The real thing was even more impressive than he had imagined.

"Of course you can, there are 20 games inside!"

Each one was incredibly interesting. If it weren't for having actual work to do, he would have been endlessly immersed in these games.

The 3D graphics currently on the market were a bit fake-looking.

The image quality really took you out of the experience.

But here, even games like fishing and farming felt incredibly realistic.

In the shooting games he liked, every shot fired had a powerful kickback.

Your hands would feel a stinging heat, making it very lifelike.

He had never played such an engaging game before.

Especially when hit by an NPC, that moment of disorientation felt just like a life-or-death situation in the game.

It was incredibly thrilling.

These rich second-generation kids had everything. Many of them were pursuing the ultimate thrill.

Things like private jets and yachts were nothing new to them.

Some even went to extremes, with rich kids committing real-world robberies just for the thrill.

His phone cost tens of thousands, and the photos came out looking very cool.

Plus, he was into photography himself.

With his photography skills, the entire gaming pod looked like something from the future.

Then he went in to play and recorded a video.

This time, he gradually got a feel for the situation.

Although he was still taken out by NPCs in 5 minutes, he played for the second time, third time... He ended up playing the entire afternoon.

It was an ultra-realistic experience.

So the fatigue he felt in the game carried over into reality.

When he came out, he had been playing for 4 hours straight, drenched in sweat as if he had just been pulled out of water.

But his eyes were still shining brightly: "That was so much fun, I want to play more!"

If he wasn't completely exhausted, he really could have kept playing.

He suddenly understood why Gu Qingyan, with such an amazing game, wouldn't bother going out drinking or clubbing.

Those things were utterly boring in comparison.

My friend looked at Gu Qingyan and asked: "Can I come again tomorrow?"

Gu Qingyan replied: "No, I have to go supervise the construction site tomorrow!"

This was his exclusive room, and only he had the key.

Which meant that when he was there, other colleagues at the kindergarten could use his gaming pod.

But when he wasn't there, he'd lock the door and no one could enter.

My friend said: "I can come by myself. Just let the security guard know."

"No way!"

His friend was getting a bit frantic: "How about this? If you let me play, I'll give you your favorite pair of sneakers."

Those sneakers were a limited edition, with only 500 pairs released worldwide.

Getting hold of them was incredibly difficult, and the markup was severe—the price had skyrocketed by several hundred times.

Those sneakers were revered as legendary in the sneaker community!

On ordinary days, he treated them as if they were priceless.

He had a dedicated caretaker tending to them daily.

Not a speck of dust was allowed to settle on the shoes, and they received regular maintenance.

The fact that his friend was willing to offer these sneakers proved how badly he wanted to play here.

Gu Qingyan coldly refused him: "Shen Wei once gave me a pair of sneakers!" He raised his chin again.

Then he brought out his own pair of sneakers to show his friend.

His friend took one look and exclaimed, "Huh?"

If his own collectible sneakers were considered legendary, these shoes were the stuff of myths.

His friend, who had previously thought Gu Qingyan was acting as if he'd been bewitched, now felt a pang of jealousy: "You're just lucky you're good-looking. What did you do to deserve this?"

Gu Qingyan replied, "Being good-looking is enough."
