Liu Ruoxi's gaze turned cold as she scanned over the Pet occupation, but she did not comment further. She continued to peruse until she reached the controller: Yang Haoran, which caused her to pause.
"Controller? What does that mean?" Seeing her own son listed as the controller, Liu Ruoxi had a sudden surge of unease.
"The player's controller will serve as the target of the player's tasks. All game tasks will be intimately linked to the player's designated controller."
"Why is it Haoran?" Liu Ruoxi's premonition grew stronger. From her initial understanding of the game's perverse nature, she knew the tasks involved weren't likely to be standard ones. Now that her son was somehow tied to it, she felt a tightening sensation in her heart.
Barbarossa obviously knew why Yang Haoran was chosen, but due to the game rules, he couldn't disclose this information to the player. Instead, he fabricated an answer: "Player Liu Ruoxi, it's precisely because he is your son that he has been bound as the controller."
In the end, Barbarossa revealed his true nature, saying teasingly, "This should be quite interesting, don't you think?"
Listening to Barbarossa's answer, Liu Ruoxi's frown deepened. She felt that the entity was not telling her the whole truth, but she couldn't think of a more plausible explanation. Moreover, given her preliminary understanding of the game, this setup seemed consistent with the game's style.
"And the game tasks?" After discussing so much, Liu Ruoxi, apart from understanding the game's peculiarities through the Pet occupation, had yet to encounter any task panel.
"Game tasks are triggered by players. There are currently no active tasks," Barbarossa responded.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruoxi felt conflicted. While she hoped to quickly complete game tasks and exchange them for the Dragon Extension Potion to treat Haoran, she also wished this sinister game would never trigger any tasks.
Just as Liu Ruoxi was lost in thought, a voice interrupted her contemplation.
"Ruoxi, is Haoran feeling any better?" Yang Wenbo, walking up to her frowning, looked at his wife Liu Ruoxi, who seemed lost in thought, and asked.
Liu Ruoxi snapped back to reality, noticing the middle-aged man standing before her. This man, dressed in a white shirt, was a model of gentle refinement. Looking to be in his thirties, he was Yang Haoran's father, Yang Wenbo. Behind him was a petite young girl in school uniform.
The girl, standing about 1.6 meters tall, had a beautiful head of hair that cascaded down like a waterfall. Her face, without any trace of makeup, emanated the innocence typical of students. With a flawless, oval face, finely arched eyebrows, and expressive eyes framed by long, crescent-shaped lashes, she was an enchanting sight. Her eyes, black and deep, were especially captivating. Below her small, exquisite nose was a thin, vibrant mouth, as appealing as a ripe cherry.
Following the graceful curve of her swan-like neck downwards, even her rather plain school uniform could not hide her graceful figure. Her arms, like lotus roots, and her budding chest, already quite noticeable, bore a resemblance to an upturned bowl, standing proudly. Upon closer inspection, she would easily be a D-cup, quite remarkable for her age. The combination of her youthful face and well-endowed figure was indeed striking.
Her slim waist was perfect to hold, and below her round, perky hips were slender and beautiful legs, glistening white, as radiant as the moon. This was Liu Ruoxi's daughter and Yang Haoran's twin sister, Yang Mengyao. Having inherited Liu Ruoxi's superior genes, she was already showing signs of blossoming beauty at a young age. She was considered the school beauty at Yulin Middle School.
"Haoran has awakened. The doctors say he's recovering well," Liu Ruoxi responded to her husband's question. After a moment's thought, she decided to keep two in the dark about game and responded nonchalantly. There was a chill in the air between the married couple due to unresolved issues, making their conversation as frosty as if they were strangers.
Yang Wenbo gazed at his distant wife, falling silent for a moment before saying nothing further. He passed by Liu Ruoxi to the door of his son's room, turned the handle, and stepped inside. The young girl behind him followed suit, sparing a glance at her mother standing in the corridor. Noticing her haggard expression, the girl felt a pang in her heart. She knew that despite her mother's stern exterior, no one cared more deeply for her and her brother than she did.
"Haoran, are you feeling any better?" she asked.
Yang Wenbo placed the fruits he brought on the table and bent down to look at his son, Yang Haoran, whose face was a bit pale, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling any better, Haoran?"
Lying on the hospital bed, Yang Haoran was now feeling more at ease knowing that his little brother could still be used in battles. He jokingly replied, "Dad, if you arrived any later, you might have missed seeing your precious son."
"As soon as your mother called to tell me about your accident, I rushed over," Yang Wenbo replied with a furrowed brow, "How could you be so careless to hurt yourself down there?" He found it hard to understand. While he could comprehend injuries to the arms or legs, he couldn't fathom how it was possible to harm one's private parts.
Upon hearing this, Yang Haoran also felt somewhat awkward. How could he explain this? Trying to gloss over the details, he jested, "It was an accident, dad. I was taking off my pants and accidentally fell off the bed. So, here I am, lying in a hospital bed."
Listening to his son's off-tune remarks, Yang Wenbo could only respond helplessly, "Be more careful in the future. Don't be clumsy in everything you do."
"Alright, dad," Yang Haoran quickly nodded obediently. Just then, a girl entered the room. His face lit up as he called out, "Xiao Yaoyao, you're here to see your brother!"
Yang Mengyao looked at her brother lying on the hospital bed, his face a bit pale. Although she was worried inside, seeing him still acting carelessly and full of laughter as usual, she could only respond with a faint 'hmm,' showing the same indifference as their mother, Liu Ruoxi.
Despite being twins, the brother and sister were as different as heaven and earth. Since childhood, Yang Haoran had been mischievous and reluctant to study, barely scraping by academically. In contrast, Yang Mengyao was intelligent, well-behaved, and always topped her classes, starting from kindergarten.
Now, both of them were in Grade 10 in Yulin High School. One was the class president and top student, and the other was a backbencher.
"Rest well in the hospital. I've taken notes on what the teacher covered in class. You can use them to catch up later," Yang Mengyao said after standing silently for a while, biting her lip. Although she hesitated, she still spoke out her concerns.
"Okay, okay," Yang Haoran obediently nodded his head as their father was present, even though he usually tossed the notes his sister gave him aside.
Seeing her brother's perfunctory attitude, Yang Mengyao furrowed her eyebrows, wanting to say more but ultimately gave up. Because she had repeated the same words countless times to her brother before. She knew he didn't want to listen, but she would tirelessly advise him, hoping he could work harder in his studies, offering to tutor him in areas he struggled with.
But until one day when her brother became impatient and scolded her harshly, from then on, his attitude remained the same - carefree and sleeping in class. She, on the other hand, became increasingly silent around her brother, realizing that he never listened to her advice.
Yang Wenbo spent some time talking with his son, noticing his emotional stability. Apart from some physical weakness, there didn't appear to be any significant issues. After assuring this, he left the hospital with his daughter. One needed to go to work, the other, to school.
Meanwhile, Liu Ruoxi put aside her corporate responsibilities to stay with her son at the hospital. Whenever the son's anti-inflammatory drip ran out, she would call for a nurse to replace it, or prepare some easily digestible and nutritious food for him. This routine continued uninterrupted for seven days.
...
Seven days later, Yang Haoran was mostly healed. That day marked his discharge from the hospital and the beginning of his home rest. Hao Lei, in her office, was sitting across from Liu Ruoxi. As the hospital director, she had her own private office.
"Ruoxi, Haoran's injury is largely healed. After some rest at home, he should be completely fine," she began. As she moved to provide further instructions for his home care, Hao Lei hesitated, contemplating the personal nature of the advice. But her duty as a doctor won over, "At home... try to provide Haoran with some adult-themed content to stimulate him. It's ideal if he can achieve erection. If you can, stimulate it once every two days; if not, try about half an hour daily."
"In cases like his, the primary lingering issue tends to be a hindrance in normal physiological function. During his home rest period, stimulation can aid in his further recovery or complete healing," she explained.
Upon hearing her friend Hao Lei's words, Liu Ruoxi was taken aback. She hadn't expected Hao Lei to bring her here for this discussion. She was just about to say something...
A voice echoed in her mind, followed by a blue screen appearing before her eyes.
