Simulated Crime, This Criminal Doesn't Seem to Be Acting-Chapter 33

Ye Sangsang signed off with the audience saying she'd see them in the next instance.

Compared to Ye Sangsang's swift departure, the audience was clearly still reeling.

They were still immersed in the text of the instance, which detailed the punishments Xu He would face in the instance.

In the quickly unfolding plot, Xu He applied for a legal aid lawyer.

He didn't want to clear his name; he wanted the lawyer to inform his family of everything he had done for his brother. He hoped to see his parents before he died.

The lawyer politely refused, stating that this wasn't within his duties. He could only do his best to defend Xu He, but the details of the case couldn't be shared with others.

Though Xu He had never received formal education, he was aware of the system, so he opted to change legal aid lawyers.

After a long wait, he finally got a new lawyer.

She told him the same thing: she couldn't do that either.

Until his death, Xu He never got the validation he so desperately craved.

Just like in a movie, everything ended with a gunshot, putting an end to his criminal life.

The livestream didn't stop because of Ye Sangsang's absence. After unfolding everything, the instance reached its conclusion.

Ye Sangsang, unaware of this, opened her eyes to find her phone vibrating beside her.

She picked it up to see an unfamiliar number.

Not many people had her number, so after a moment's thought, she answered.

"Hello, Miss Ye. My name is Ning Hao. You may not be familiar with it... *cough cough cough*" an elderly voice came through. Perhaps due to poor health, he coughed for a while before continuing, "But we've met, in the game. I have a name you're quite familiar with – Taigle Tribe."

Ye Sangsang's lips parted slightly, feeling a strange surge of time's power. The wonder of full-dive games was that, even though they had never met in person, they felt like old acquaintances now.

She said, "Why?"

"Won't you be curious? Can we meet in person?" he continued, coughing again after a pause.

Remembering Qin Jiang, Ye Sangsang agreed but added after a pause, "I think you should come to me. At Haishi An Ding Hospital."

"I can't leave."

There was a noticeable pause from the other end before he agreed.

Ye Sangsang got up to wash and freshen up. The hospital facilities were quite comprehensive, and Ye Sangsang managed with some difficulty.

After changing into casual wear and having breakfast, she went outside to read and take a walk.

There was no set time for their meeting, as she was there and always would be.

He arrived sooner than expected. While she was reading in the garden and had just finished a third of her book, he showed up.

Just like her, he arrived in a wheelchair.

At first glance, it seemed like a gathering of patients.

The hospital garden's hexagonal pavilion was quite spacious. His assistant pushed him in, and Ning Hao chuckled bitterly, "I didn't know you... were like this."

Thirty years his junior, yet in his words, there was respect and gratitude.

Ye Sangsang looked at him, "If you can't walk, walk more in the game."

However, despite his apparent age under sixty, he looked like an old man, as if his illness would soon claim his life.

Ning Hao waved his hand, and his assistant bowed slightly before leaving. He looked at Ye Sangsang, "I think you'll be curious about what really happened. It just so happens that I have a strong desire to talk."

"Yes, I am curious," Ye Sangsang closed the book and said.

Ning Hao lowered his eyes and, amidst intermittent coughing, recounted everything from thirty years ago.

The truth was that Xu He, like in Criminal Files, had meticulously planned everything, worked for a decade weaving an intricate web that led to Qin Jiang's wife and children's deaths and Qin Jiang himself disgraced and critically injured in bed.

"They couldn't find him, because every piece of evidence... *cough cough*... was right there in front of them. Qin Jiang had a motive to kill. With time passing, even if they discovered clues, it was already too late." Ning Hao's eyes were filled with despair. Not only was he struggling, but the outcome was not like in the game's instances; Xu He was not brought to justice.

Ye Sangsang asked what she cared about, "How is Qin Jiang?"

Ning Hao remained still for a long time, as if thinking of something deeply. He coughed for a while before saying, "He woke up in the nursing home I arranged for him, sixteen years ago... *cough cough cough*... After waking up... he went mad..."

"It's not bad; he didn't die, and being mad isn't so bad. It means he’s alive." Ye Sangsang even showed a faint smile.

After all, punishing a madman, especially after so many years, seemed unrealistic.

Being confined to a nursing home and still surviving was a kind of outcome.

Ning Hao, who had wanted to say "Is that really good?" upon remembrance, found himself eased given their surroundings.

He straightened his expression and continued, "The case remained suspicious at the time, being pressed down in the hope that Qin Jiang would wake up to provide results. However, in the case files, the killer was still pointed to Qin Jiang. The reason it was pressed down was mainly because Qin Jiang couldn't be tried. After waking up, being mad, there was no way to try a verdict, so it dragged on till now."

"Was the case you provided to Criminal Files, through Xinghuan Games?" Ye Sangsang inquired.

Ning Hao nodded, suppressing his cough, and continued, "Captain Chen approached me, going through many means to give it to Xinghuan Games. They were authorized to use the super-intelligent AI for game creation."

"We authorized many things, adding many details into it... *cough cough cough*."

Ye Sangsang looked at them, feeling slightly bewildered, "Didn't you request to experience the game's event to obtain clues privately, or did the super-intelligence not model it out, or isn't directly checking the game's modeling allowed?"

Before beta testing the game, clearly the event was playable; the other party must have tried the instance.

"Xinghuan Games said no, not just due to confidentiality factors. It was more that someone needed to break the instance, to provide a clue to proceed with the modeling," Ning Hao explained.

"It only evolves according to all the details we provide. In essence, they create a scene that was exactly like back then, and at the bottom layer, Qin Jiang is still the murderer."

"In nature, our exploration and slowly adding questions are required for clues and the consecutive generation based on them."

"In summary, there's a differentiation point missing that makes it unfurl forward, which is where your existence comes into play."

"Super-intelligence is indeed strong, but they told us not to mythologize it. It's by nature man-made," Ning Hao said after attempting to hold back and failing with a coughing surge.

Ye Sangsang pondered for two seconds, understanding.

It was like having previous data, and even super-intelligence couldn't fabricate anything out of nothing, only simulate based on what was provided.

To actually get more, one needed to ask.

Just like her previous behavior.

Only with wrong inputs could the original small details be combined, modeling out reasonable killers with a matching motive, personality, and experience.

"So, did you not experience the game's instance, to gain clues for the murderer?" Ye Sangsang reiterated the question previously unanswered by Ning Hao.

Ning Hao looked at Ye Sangsang, "We tried 313 times. Different people tried so many times."

Ye Sangsang's pale-looking delicate fingers rested on the dark book's pages, praise unbidden, "You've got a great memory."

"Thank you. You're just as frank as in the game," Ning Hao retorted.

Looking at Ye Sangsang, she seemed really unlike someone who should be in the mental hospital.

Though they'd barely met, they seemed like old friends.

Ye Sangsang didn't speak, she was thinking.

Ning Hao continued, "Do you want to know what happened to the case after you successfully completed an impeccable mission?"

Ye Sangsang glanced at the talkative Ning Hao. Indeed, the man's desire to talk was as mentioned on the phone.

She decided to just go with it, so she asked, "How was it?"

"Xu He died. I thought he would live a cursed and long life, but he died, twenty years ago, sentenced to death for killing his parents," Ning Hao said, a joyful smirk appearing involuntarily, "In the end, he never got what he wanted."

His emotion provoked another coughing fit.

Ye Sangsang voiced her confusion, "Can the case still be turned over then?"

After all, in reality, the case hadn't even reached conclusions.

Ning Hao smiled and said, "You provided clues to the Chennan City police, and they searched meticulously, finding DNA evidence of him kidnapping Qin Jiang's wife and children. They compared it to the DNA left behind by the investigating authorities when he murdered his parents. Barring any unexpected issues, it should be him."

"Additionally, Feng Lian's lost phone was found at his house. With technical recovery, the data obtained and the existence of the phone are sufficient to prove he was the one who did it."

Ye Sangsang nodded. The fact that Feng Lian's phone was in his possession, along with the chat records, was as solid as ironclad evidence.

Ning Hao's face showed a mixture of relief and excitement, coughing incessantly but with a glimmer of exhilaration in his eyes. "You don't know how much I wanted to laugh when I saw Xu He kill his parents. It proves that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't gain their approval and ultimately died in despair."

He couldn't earn their approval and lost the last people who cared for him.

But as he laughed, he started to cry, sobbing uncontrollably, releasing decades of pent-up emotions.

In his heart, Qin Jiang, who had redeemed him, was finally cleared of any guilt, no longer bearing the stigma of a murderer.

He also felt a sense of injustice for Qin Jiang, who could be considered a perfect good person, but because of one person's malice, had his life destroyed, along with everything he cared about.

The truth came too late; they had waited far too long.

He thought he would carry this regret to his death, never expecting Ye Sangsang to appear.

The case was reopened, everything concluded, and the long wait was over.

His weary face showed a sense of relief, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Ye Sangsang looked at the trees in the courtyard; spring had arrived, and the trees were full of tender buds.

She understood his excitement but couldn't fully empathize with his feelings. Thus, at this moment, she seemed somewhat detached from the atmosphere.

After sitting for a while, perhaps due to Ye Sangsang's experience with everything, or perhaps because she was a good listener, the talkative Ning Hao shared some old stories.

Like the people he had saved, and the people who had saved him.

Before leaving, he asked Ye Sangsang, "Would you like to get out? I can help you. You've helped me, and I'll do my best to help you in return."

"That's my own business," Ye Sangsang said lightly with a smile.

Ning Hao nodded. "If you change your mind, you can contact me."

"Goodbye," she said.

Ning Hao, pushed by his assistant, turned and left.

Out of politeness, Ye Sangsang saw him to the door.

When she returned to her bed, the detective sent her a message.

It contained Ning Hao's rise to fortune, as well as his years of care for Qin Jiang, both in the hospital and the nursing home.

Captain Chen, Zheng He, Gu Ling, and even Shen Yu, who had only known him for two days, often visited him.

And many others, the people he had helped.

It seemed that this person had more people accompanying him than those who had accompanied her.

Ye Sangsang wasn't concerned about whether Ning Hao's illness was getting better or not. She was ready for a midday rest.

She didn't play the game; instead, she wanted to clear her mind.

Her doctor, Su Xu, brought in the rehabilitation doctor, smiling at Ye Sangsang and, despite her objections, increased her daily leg rehabilitation sessions by two hours.

His smile carried an unmistakable tone of refusal.

"You only broke your leg; you're not born with a disability. There's no need to always use a wheelchair," he said.

Ye Sangsang looked at him. "Thank you, but if you have nothing else to do, you can leave. As for rehabilitation, I'm not interested in doing it in a psychiatric hospital."

"Then get out as soon as possible," Su Xu's eyes turned cold, with a turbulent emotion hidden beneath his calm exterior.

Only Ye Sangsang could discern what those hidden emotions were.

Ye Sangsang closed her eyes, ignoring him.

Su Xu repeated, "If I say that the game is detrimental to improving your mental state, I'm afraid you might lose the opportunity to continue playing it."

Faced with this provocation, Ye Sangsang opened her eyes, sat up, and looked at him with her black eyes. "I dislike people who are overly confident and arrogant. You should be grateful that you are far enough away from me right now. Moreover, as a doctor, deliberately provoking a patient, you should be replaced."

"I'm doing it for your own good," Su Xu ignored Ye Sangsang's words.

Ye Sangsang looked back at him. "People should restrain their own desires and not try to control others."

Su Xu's expression faltered; Ye Sangsang's composure was beyond his expectations.

Ye Sangsang picked up the phone and called the hospital director.

Soon, the director arrived, and the orderly presented the video footage, "Replace him; as a doctor, he's not qualified."

After watching the video, the director didn't want to listen to Ye Sangsang.

Ye Sangsang smiled at him, her tone cold and full of pressure, "If you don't want to be entangled with the Chessheart Law Firm, I advise you to replace him. Otherwise, the first thing I'll do when I leave is withdraw my investment in this hospital."

Her clear logic, unmoved demeanor, and completely stable emotions made the director change his expression.

"Alright, you won't see him again next time. I'll find someone more professional to treat you," the director immediately conceded, taking the clearly disgruntled Su Xu away.

Ye Sangsang lay back in bed, her eyes cold.

"Disgusting gaze," she said with a sardonic smile.

The orderly silently left, closing the door behind her.

Ye Sangsang got up and, with practiced ease, moved herself to the wheelchair. After some thought, she put on the game neckband and entered the game.

Outside, the trending topics had been climbing one after another.

The Chennan City police acted too quickly, taking immediate action after receiving the clues, quickly comparing the DNA, and inviting experts to restore the data from the phone.

The announcement was detailed and clear.

They even released a text and video specifically to thank Ye Sangsang.

So, when Ye Sangsang returned, the number of viewers in her live broadcast room had significantly increased.

She checked and found that her live broadcast room had reached the 28th place on the Xinghuan live broadcast platform, a feat achieved by a pure amateur host in such a short time.

However, Ye Sangsang didn't care about these things. She selected a copy and dove into the game.

【Sang Jie is too amazing. The Chennan City police announcement is out, and Xu He died well, taking those two old beasts with him.】

Qin Jiang is still alive, which is fortunate amidst the misfortune. I hope he recovers soon and enjoys a happy old age. After all, the little brother he saved back then has now become a billionaire. Sicc Boi really pulled it off.

【A game solved a real-life case, and it's said to be a conclusion many couldn't simulate. I didn't expect Sang Jie to clear it in one go!】

The live broadcast room was full of discussions and praise. The Level 10 surfing participants had already figured out all the background details.

However, some people were also paying attention to the new copy that Ye Sangsang had started.

Hehehe, you guys aren't concerned about this, so let me see what game instance Sang Jie has chosen.

【Curious! Not sure what identity she has.】

Random dungeons and identity cards, isn't that the same as opening a mystery box? I love mystery boxes! I like any dungeon that Sang Jie chooses to join.

The live broadcast room's screen began to change.

Ye Sangsang opened her eyes, but what she saw exceeded her expectations.

It seemed she was in a confined space. She instinctively stood up and took a step forward but was tripped by something in front of her, falling hard to the ground.

The unexpected fall made Ye Sangsang feel pain all over her body.

She stretched out her hand, touching the ground, feeling the texture of the wooden floor.

Her pale, delicate, and almost shocking hand explored the ground little by little.

After a while, Ye Sangsang stopped.

It wasn't that the room was too dark, but that she was blind.

Player, hello, you have entered the game. Please follow the rules of the game and start the "Escape" instance.

【Identity card has been drawn for you.】

【Victim】

You need to escape to survive in this instance.

She heard the voice announcing the mission.

Ye Sangsang felt this was like a deliberate arrangement, criminal—investigator—victim.

"Criminal Files" or its super intelligence, one of them had to take the blame.

The victim was relatively "easy," in a sense, similar to a "PUBG" script. They generally had three outcomes: being hurt, being killed, or escaping to survive.

Escaping to survive wasn't too difficult for Ye Sangsang.

If she were a healthy person.

A blind victim was literally a hell-mode start.

Oh no! This copy!! Help me!

【Sang Jie, hurry up! Run!】

Sang Jie, withdraw fast! Don't choose this instance, it's too frightening!

【If I were to give up on this level, I would never accuse Sister Sang of being a coward!】

In the unseen live-stream room, the entire audience was in an uproar.

Their perspective allows them to see the situation within the level, and it was precisely because they could see that many recognized the familiar settings and the female lead's face, immediately realizing which level it was without even needing to read the screen's level prompt.

No further thought was required; anyone who knows this level's first reaction is to flee.

Escape is a famous level. Since its beta launch, whenever a streamer starts this level, the livestream always garners high viewership.

Its storyline isn't particularly complex, but its content for players is nothing short of torture.

"Victims escaping to safety? Don't make me laugh."

This is the consensus among all streamers and viewers.

Now, they want to pass this sentiment onto Ye Sangsang.

Escaping to safety is impossibly difficult.

While the live-stream room was in chaos, Ye Sangsang was already receiving information about her role.

Unable to see the interface, the level's narrative was read aloud to her, unfolding entirely through sound in her ears.

There was even an option to have it read twice.

"Click"

Just as Ye Sangsang was crouching on the floor, a sound of a door opening came from her right front.

Following it was the sound of footsteps.

Ye Sangsang, with her sightless eyes, gazed towards the entrance but did not move.

In her ear, the hyper-intelligent, chilly, lifeless voice continued narrating the victim's details.

The year is 2014, in Guancheng City. The victim is named Wen Yanxin, a lovely name, though unfortunately, she's had vision issues since childhood. Her family's economic condition is good, but since they can't often be home, they hired two nannies to take care of her.

She knows Braille and can use a smartphone.

Recently, she's started dating a boyfriend.

"Click"

As the hyper-intelligent voice finished, the room's lights came on, but Ye Sangsang's vision remained unchanged.

It seems the girl named Wen Yanxin is completely blind.

To enhance the player's experience, the game provides three hours of continuous action voice prompts. Since players don't have the game character's memories or habits, they are at a disadvantage.

Just like in the previous game level, many detectives in reality have no prior experience with such cases, so they first arrange a case for them to solve.

If they truly can't adapt, they can exit and choose a new game level.

Following the prompts, Ye Sangsang felt her way to the phone on the bedside table, opened it, and received a message.

Meanwhile, the person who entered the room curiously asked, "Is there something wrong, Miss Wen?"

"No," Ye Sangsang replied.

The person turned and left the room.

Ye Sangsang, using the phone's accessibility mode, tapped it, and a voice came from the other side, "Xinxin, did you miss me?"

This must be her online boyfriend?

Ye Sangsang was still trying to get her bearings.

【Ahhh, I find everyone suspicious.】

【I'm scared my sister Sang is going to suffer.】

【Escape now, sister Sang.】

Ye Sangsang ignored the comments and stood up, walking around the room before heading out and traversing the large apartment.

She basically walked through the entire place, including the two balconies, large and small.

This residence is about 300 square meters, with six rooms in total: a Chinese and Western kitchen, and three bathrooms. Two nannies each have a room, there's a study room, the parents' master bedroom, her bedroom, and a guest tea room.

Perhaps to accommodate her condition, the room layout is relatively simple, with few obstacles along the way.

One sudden loss of sight must first overcome fear.

Losing color, the sense of distance, the uncertainty of what lies ahead, the lack of any sense of direction—each of these is a critical level of difficulty.

Ye Sangsang felt that this game level was quite meaningful, as truly experiencing it would make one understand the hardships of the blind.

On the balcony, feeling the distant wind, she moved slowly.

The hyper-intelligent voice prompts in her ear were ignored by her, silently navigating past the balcony's patio chairs and flower pots.

She continued using her blind cane, and after an unknown time, the footsteps of a nanny approached from a distance, stopping about a meter beside Ye Sangsang and said, "Miss Wen, it's time for breakfast at the dining room, shall I take you?"

"No need," Ye Sangsang replied, slowly making her way to the dining room under the hyper-intelligent prompt.

Compared to the previous level, Ye Sangsang found this game level much more interesting.

Touching everything, she felt like she was experiencing the world anew.

At that moment, footsteps approached, and food was placed in front of her.

"Miss Wen, breakfast is milk and bread," Ye Sangsang sniffed it and reached out.

Her movements were very unpracticed, but the person beside her didn't rush.

After a while, one nanny exchanged a glance with the other, and the two quietly left for the kitchen.

Ye Sangsang stopped her actions, her empty gaze fixed ahead, her ears attentively listening.

The voices were very soft.

"Did you put the sleeping pills?" The elder-sounding nanny asked.

The other nanny replied, "I did, but is this really okay? You know, if we're found out, we'll lose our jobs."

The sound of patting shoulders followed, and the first nanny said, "You and I don't say it, who'll find out? Besides, her family doesn't care much about her—they only visit once in a blue moon. They're successful in their careers; how could they just have this one daughter? They've long been living outside."

"Let's eat, and then we'll go out and see."

The other nanny remained silent, and Ye Sangsang gripped her milk glass, her hand feeling her way to stand up. She walked to the side's trash can, slightly bent down, calculated the height, and tilted the glass in her hand.

Due to her lack of skill, milk splattered out, dripping onto Ye Sangsang's hand. She raised her hand and rubbed it against her lips.

She turned and moved steadily back to the dining table, sat down, and picked up the bread to eat.

After eating for about ten minutes, Ye Sangsang collapsed to the floor.

【Ah, starting off so intense.】

【Quiet—the last streamer who entered this level fell asleep and woke up back in the game lobby.】

【I'm curious, what exactly happened?】

The live-stream room was very active. Ye Sangsang's choice of this level attracted many who had seen it before, gathering in the live-stream room.

Ye Sangsang was carried back to her room by the two nannies.

One took out a phone, while the other began to undress Ye Sangsang.

The world of this level is set in autumn, though the weather is still hot. She wore thin, loose-fitting short-sleeved and long trouser house clothes.

"Let's just say, Miss Wen is well-cultivated, despite appearing slim. She's quite curvy, hence why those people pay a high price for photos and videos," the nanny holding the phone said, adjusting the angle for the shot.

The other nanny undressing her complained, "You might as well help—this is quite a hassle."

Ye Sangsang's eyes opened.

"Mommy!" The nanny undressing her was startled at her sudden opening of her eyes, reflexively backing away.

The other nanny, busy with the phone, exclaimed, "You scared me to death—what are you screaming about now?"

Recovering, the startled nanny looked at Ye Sangsang on the bed, finding that she hadn't opened her eyes, still in her slumber.

Was it just her imagination?

The nanny doubted herself.

The other nanny came forward, quickly undoing the buttons of the clothes, "Don't dawdle—they'll be here soon, and this time they paid five thousand for it—make sure to capture it nicely."

The startled nanny nodded hurriedly.

But just then, Ye Sangsang's slender, fair fingers grabbed the nanny speaking, pulling her hair as she sat up.

"Ahhh!" The nanny was suddenly grabbed by her hair, her scream piercing the air.

The other nanny attempted to help, but Ye Sangsang, silently gazing towards her, said, "I've already called the police—if you want to add assault to your charges, I wouldn't mind."

Before Ye Sangsang, who couldn't see, both nannies turned pale.

One nanny, her eyes turning, quickly grabbed the phone to delete the photos and videos.

As long as it's deleted, the police won't do anything to them.

Ye Sangsang watched the other's action, calmly sitting there, the nanny who had been caught by her hair already thrown off.

She coldly looked at them two.

Shortly, the police knocked on the door.

The two were taken away, and as a blind person, Ye Sangsang was escorted by a female police officer to the police station.

As a blind person, she was notified to her family.

She had been questioned not long after when two hurried footsteps approached from a distance and finally stood in front of her.

Just as she was about to speak, a slap landed on her face.

Unprepared, Ye Sangsang stared with eyes wide, her expression a mix of disbelief and surprise.

The police, witnessing this, immediately rushed forward to admonish, "This is a police station. You come in here and start hitting people, what do you take this place for?"

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

"And besides, it's not her fault. It was the nanny you hired who had questionable morals!" shouted the female police officer who was accompanying her.

Ye Sangsang lowered her gaze, understanding the intention behind the attack. It was nothing more than a loss of face, disgust to the extreme.

Just wanting to hit someone—what need was there for a reason?

At that moment, a slightly sharp voice of a middle-aged woman rang out, "Why are you hitting her? Do you feel she's in the way, blocking your son's path?"

"Don't lecture me. Aren't you also thinking that an 'outside' daughter is better?" the man retorted sharply.

The two began arguing without constraint.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Sangsang interrupted their quarrel, suggesting, "Why not just find someone else to take care of me? You two can continue your lives as usual."

She didn't quite understand why they were arguing. With money, so many problems could be solved—just a nanny, after all.

The argument ceased, and they reached an agreement to find two more people to care for her.

Finally, under the guidance of her hyper-intelligent voice assistant, Ye Sangsang took a taxi back home.

Upon returning, the voice assistant alerted her that its services would end in just a few minutes. She carefully adjusted to the layout of the kitchen and bathroom, ensuring she could function without its aid if needed.

This way, she wouldn't be left helpless in the absence of prompts.

[Sang sister is so calm. It seems she never gets angry.]

[The nanny was truly despicable, but thankfully, the issue was resolved.]

[What's next? No anchor has lasted more than three hours in this game!]

The live broadcast went wild as Ye Sangsang prepared to log out.

Just before logging out, Ye Sangsang remembered she had three attribute points left.

Without hesitation, she allocated them all to stamina.

[Player ID: Ye Sangsang]

[Mental Strength: 8 (10)]

[Intelligence: 8 (10)]

[Stamina: 10 (10)]

Looking at the displayed stats, Ye Sangsang wondered what it would feel like to allocate points to mental strength and intelligence.

Would her mental state improve?

And her intelligence—would it make her smarter?

It sounded a bit abstract.

Curious, Ye Sangsang clicked to view the effects of increasing mental strength and intelligence.

Immediately, a description panel appeared before her.

[Mental Strength: The base value represents the player's inherent energy level within the game. A score of 1-3 indicates extremely poor energy, difficulty in concentrating, and possible physical ailments. 4-5 is average energy, slightly below normal. 6-7 indicates strong energy, capable of long periods of focused effort. 8-10 signifies extremely strong energy, able to easily concentrate and multitask, though this may also come with the risk of physical or mental illnesses.]

[Increasing mental strength enhances the game character's energy levels. This reduces fatigue and tiredness within the game environment.]

The description for intelligence was similar.

Boosting intelligence scores reduces negative effects on the game character's cognitive functions, thereby achieving enhancement.

Such attribute points are rare, almost akin to valuable items.

Ye Sangsang reviewed her stats, finding little room for improvement, and chose to log out.

After brushing up on some knowledge related to blindness and finishing the book she had started that morning, Ye Sangsang operated her wheelchair to go out for some fresh air once again.

It was another unchanging afternoon routine. After completing her tasks, she logged back in at eight o'clock in the evening.

As expected, darkness enveloped her. By skipping time, Ye Sangsang received news about the nanny interview.

The couple didn't appear personally; instead, their assistant called to notify her of the interview time before hanging up.

Throughout, Ye Sangsang sat on the couch, with messages continuously popping up on her phone.

She used voice command to have the messages read aloud, starting from the first one.

"Xinxin, ignoring me now?"

"What happened? Xinxin, you've been naughty."

"Don't be afraid, Xinxin."

"Xinxin, just respond to me."

...

Almost a hundred messages in total. After listening, she leaned back on the sofa.

At that moment, the doorbell rang.

Without the hyper-intelligent voice assistant's guidance, it took her a while to make her way from the sofa to the door, where she activated the voice intercom.

Ye Sangsang asked who it was.

The visitor paused before responding, "I was introduced by the agency. I'm here to interview for the nanny position."

Ye Sangsang opened the door and took a step back, saying, "Welcome."

She gestured for the person to come in.

The warmth of fall accompanied them as they entered, along with a whiff of osmanthus flowers.

Ye Sangsang smiled faintly, allowing the visitor to enter first before shutting the door.

She then felt her way back to the sofa.

"Hello, you should know my requirements, right?" Ye Sangsang inquired.

The woman nodded, her voice gentle, "Yes, I know. I've taken care of blind individuals before and hold a chef's certification, skilled in both Chinese and Western cuisines."

Ye Sangsang smiled lightly, suddenly looking up with a puzzled expression, "You're quite tall."
