Chapter 24

Chapter 24: You still have the responsibility and duty of being an older brother!

In the three years he spent reliving the past, Mei Fang took every chance to learn JAVA language. He had already read five out of the four classic books on Java.

To avoid revealing his extraordinary talent, Mei Fang always hid his books inside the bookshelf, pretending to only read introductory textbooks like “Basic Learning of Youth Languages.”

Practice makes perfect. After reading these books, Mei Fang began writing some simple macro scripts, applying them in games like “Fantasy Westward Journey” to help with repetitive tasks such as escorting caravans.

Of course, the risk of using these scripts was high, so he only dared to try them on small accounts, then used the money earned from escorting to support his main accounts.

Currently, both of Mei Fang’s accounts were at level 139, and he could no longer afford the time or money to progress further.

Thanks to Lin You Xi’s good luck in catching rare pets and Mei Fang’s advanced strategic awareness, he roughly estimated that the value of both accounts would be around 5,000 if sold on the Treasure Pavilion.

Because Mei Fang and Lin You Xi started playing early, their accounts contained many exclusive pets, making their value increase over time.

“Fantasy Westward Journey” is a game that relies heavily on teamwork. To ensure stable output, Mei Fang made many online friends and formed a fixed team. He joined a guild called “Wu Hou Jue Shi” with these friends.

【Little Fang Fang, why are you playing two accounts by yourself today? Where’s your wife?】

【How do you know I’m playing two accounts?】

【You don’t know? Your sister-in-law always greets us when she logs in. Unlike you, who doesn’t say anything.】

【…】

Logging in and greeting guild members was Xia Yuan’s habit. She enjoyed chatting with online friends but adhered to Mei Fang’s rules to avoid exposing her real identity and causing unnecessary trouble.

Overall, although the players’ quality varied greatly, and there were frequent arguments and insults in the game, the online community was very lively back then.

Most players helped each other and got along well. Even someone like Lin You Xi, who didn’t like making friends in real life, could speak freely online.

At least it wasn’t like in 2022, where even playing MOBA games like IOI made you feel like an orphan.

Mei Fang was in the middle of playing and letting his online friends help him clear monsters when the door to the study room opened slightly. He glanced around but saw no one. When he looked to the side, a little monster was roaring at him:

“Wah!”

Mei Ya, who suddenly appeared, grabbed Mei Fang’s arm and shook it back and forth, “Brother, did I scare you?”

“Wah, you scared me to death, you really scared me to death.”

“Hehe…”

Mei Ya didn’t seem to notice Mei Fang’s indifferent expression, laughing heartily with her hands on her hips.

For this sister he never met in his previous life, Mei Fang felt a mix of emotions. She existed in this world because he had added 500,000 to the family’s wealth.

He didn’t know how big of a wave this butterfly effect would cause in this world. At least in the reincarnation novels he read, the protagonists changed the world but still controlled the overall trend. He could only hope this world had a similar self-correcting mechanism.

“Brother, Dad is at work, Mom is visiting Grandma at the hospital. She said to let you take care of me.”

“Hmm… Then go watch TV?”

“I looked through many channels but couldn’t find any cartoons,” Mei Ya pleaded, holding onto Mei Fang’s arm, “Brother, can you take me to the amusement park?”

“Hmm… I want to take you too, but I don’t have any money.”

Mei Fang wore a troubled expression, “Mom and Dad only like you, not me, so I don’t get any pocket money.”

“Mmm…”

Mei Ya lowered her head in thought, then hurriedly left the study.

“This should be quiet now…”

Mei Fang did have money, but he saved it all for future use. This era, money was everything.

A while later, as Mei Fang was still immersed in the online world, the study room door opened again.

“What happened this time, Xiao Ya…”

When Mei Fang looked up, he saw it wasn’t his sister but Xia Yuan.

“Mei Fang! I heard from Xiao Ya that you play games all day and don’t play with her? How can you be a brother?”

Xia Yuan appeared very angry, while Mei Ya hid behind her, looking pitifully at Mei Fang.

“What? I’ve only played for a few minutes.”

“Sister Yuan Yuan, Brother is lying. He’s been playing all day. If you don’t believe me, check the computer.”

“You little rascal… Why do you always betray me?”

Mei Ya stuck out her tongue at her brother, while Mei Fang looked helpless, “She insisted I take her to the amusement park, but I don’t have any money…”

“Compared to important companionship, what’s a bit of money?”

Xia Yuan angrily pulled open her bag’s zipper, “You have such a cute sister and don’t cherish her. I wish I had a sister to play with…”

Xia Yuan took out a green bill, “Want money? I have it!”

Little Mei Ya’s eyes lit up, hugging Xia Yuan’s leg tightly.

“Yay! I love Sister Yuan Yuan the most! I’ll be your sister! I don’t want to be the stinky brother’s sister. He’s so stingy and annoying.”

“You little money-grubber! Follow whoever has money!”

Mei Fang said, “Since you have so much money, why don’t you take Mei Ya to the amusement park?”

“But you’re the brother. How can you not go?”

“It’s fine, Sister Yuan Yuan. It’s okay if I don’t have a brother. Anyway… anyway, he doesn’t like me.”

Xia Yuan, with her emotional personality, seeing Mei Ya look so dejected, stormed forward, pulling Mei Fang off his chair. Mei Ya was delighted, clapping and cheering.

“Games can be played anytime, but a sister’s childhood passes quickly. We must leave beautiful memories!”

Mei Fang wore a lifeless expression, “We’re in our childhood too! Don’t I deserve a happy childhood?”

“You still have the responsibility and duty of being an older brother!”

Xia Yuan persuaded Mei Fang out of the study, while Mei Ya danced around happily, making Mei Fang give her a light slap.

This is Little Mei Ya’s turn! Considering my hard work in updating, I hope everyone will continue reading! I haven’t had time to cast spells recently, but I’ll add the corresponding chapter illustrations later.
