Chapter 28: I Knew Too Much

Among these three skills, Fashion Design was the only useful one, Being Cute and Computer Games had no purpose.
Yet, the most unusual skill here was Fashion Design.
Being Cute and Computer Games were understandable skills, after all, the target was a female programmer. But where did Fashion Design come from?
As a programmer for a large company, this target came from a traditional school, she wouldn’t have had access to fashion design knowledge.
Maybe the additions in the game weren’t based on the body’s learned skills, but the body’s innate talent.
As a worker bee in society, most people didn’t have time to show off their talent, so a programmer’s talent not being coding or programming was absolutely possible.
Xia Yu had the misunderstanding since the first target of his body-swap, An Siyao, knew all of her three skills.
Sighing, Xia Yu’s head started to hurt.
This meant he’d have to go to Xu Youxiang for programming skills.
If he could do a body search again, he’d look for another girl who knew programming.
Or he could look for an elite programmer. Programmers at the top of their industry must be talented.
But, people like that were probably very valued by the government or large companies, plus the internet industry was pretty secretive. Xia Yu had no idea who these top programmers were, much less how to get close to them.
After a minute, the owner of his new body interrupted Xia Yu’s musings.
“Am I possessed by a ghost?” The woman liked ghost stories.
“No. You’re dreaming. ” Xia Yu lied to her the same way he did with the last programmer.
The woman was doubtful.
Xia Yu was here, and he couldn’t leave. He went into the woman’s room and turned on her computer to play games.
The woman was confused, but she still played the game with him, giving Xia Yu pointers.
Since the game distracted Xia Yu, he didn’t realize eight hours had passed. After the game ended, the woman lit up a cigarette, watching the computer game’s leftover screen.
When Xia Yu returned to his own body, he received a message.
[Announcement]
[The game would begin maintenance at this moment, which would be completed in about five and a half hours.]
There were actually game updates?
Although an update time of five and a half hours wasn’t too bad. He couldn’t play the game anyway during this time.
What would the update be? Xia Yu was feeling hopeful.
By 7:40 a.m, Xia Yu got the notification that the game’s updates have completed.
He also got a note from the game manufacturer.
He clicked on and opened the note.
[Update information:]
[A game points feature was added to the game, which could be used to win twice the experience prop, which could be doubled.]
[Modified the 24-hour log-on for the game, it is now based on the day.]
There was another note from the game developer.
[This product is the body swap game.]
[It is not a piano-playing simulator.]
[It is not an outdated computer games simulator.]
[This game supports players in exploring diverse playing methods. Players, please also take care of the developer’s emotions and play the game the right way.]
[Have fun playing]
Xia Yu stroked his chin and compared the contents. He realized the reason for the update.
Manufacturer:
Please don’t play the piano every day anymore. Could you just play the body swap? I gave you an experience prop, so you could play the game and win skills too, you don’t have to work so hard!
What confused him was the change from 24-hr to date-based.
What did this mean?
He thought for a few seconds and had a theory.
He logged onto An Siyao’s body.
The previous rules said one needed to rest for 16 hours before playing the next round. If he tried to log-on during this time, he would see a prompt saying there was a lack of time to rest.
But this time, there was no prompt. After some darkness, he saw a bright patch of purple flowers.
This was the An family garden. He had logged onto An Siyao’s body.
The old rule of resting 16 hours after playing the game had changed to being able to play eight hours a day.
This was great, playing the game was much more flexible now, time-wise.
“Good morning,” An Siyao greeted Xia Yu in his mind.
“Morning,” Xia Yu replied.
After saying hi, the girl asked Xia Yu why he came so early today.
Xia Yu said something about being busy that night and started walking out.
Outside the garden, a sedan waited for him.
This was the car taking An Siyao to school.
When he got in the car, the driver took off toward An Siyao’s school.
Xia Yu turned on the game and watched the increasing points. He noticed that it was around one point per minute.
He clicked open the exchange for experience props. To earn a 2x experience prop for eight hours, he’d need 480 points.
That was to say, if he played for eight hours, he could earn a 2x experience prop for eight hours, and refill the experience he lost through game-playing.
This new function was totally encouraging him to stop learning so much and to play more.
The game designer was really trying very hard.
Come to think of it, he had a 5x experience prop, with nine hours of playtime left.
While Xia Yu was busy thinking, An Siyao asked with concern in her voice, “Did you figure out what to do with that girl?”
Xia Yu took out his phone and typed his response.
“No. She was so bad-tempered, I was afraid to go to her again.”
An Siyao was first overjoyed, then she grew suspicious.
If he didn’t go to that girl, where had he been lately?
He had other women?!
Xia Yu knew his words revealed something, but he didn’t care. As long as he was careful about his own identity, other things didn’t matter.
Thinking of Xu Youxiang, Xia Yu sighed with frustration.
He typed on the phone:
“If only that girl was as gentle as you.”
Seeing the words, An Siyao felt less hurt. Happiness enveloped her.
In order to deserve Xia Yu’s description of her, she commented:
“There must be a reason for her bad temper. If you knew the reason, you could fix it.”
The young woman didn’t know that some people were born with bad tempers.
Xu Youxiang’s rage had to do with her immovable legs.
“She couldn’t use her legs. She was in the middle of raging when I logged onto her body, so I was the enemy to her.”
Xia Yu wrote on the phone.
An Siyao was pleased. Her legs couldn’t move? That meant the girl was disabled. Even though it wasn’t nice thinking this way, she felt happy about the discovery.
Most people wouldn’t fall in love with a disabled person.
The two of them continued to chat. They didn’t stop until the car had pulled up to the school, and Xia Yu had gotten out of the car.
After Xia Yu left, the driver drove on for a little bit, parked, then lit a cigarette.
His hand was shaking badly.
He had accidentally, unintentionally, caught a glimpse of the girl’s cell phone earlier.
His young miss had done something to a person who couldn’t move their legs!
These upper-middle-class people had really perverted lives!
Would I be killed since I knew too much?
He wanted to quit, but thinking of his newlywed wife, and his hefty two million yuan mortgage, he had to give up on the idea.
He used the phone to type a letter.
Qingqing, if you’re reading this, I’m no longer alive. Don’t try to find out the truth of my death, I can only tell you that I knew too much…
