Deceitful Game

Chapter 305 Childhood in the New World

"...Key?"

Shi Yue was somewhat surprised, and asked with a smile, drawing out her words, "When did you start calling me so affectionately, Brother Xiaoming?"

It was only then that Mingpo realized that the key to this cycle of reincarnation was different from the past.

She heard the name "Yaoyao" but didn't react at all... This means that Shiyao has no memories of her past life.

...This also means that Shiyao from last week's mission did not survive to the end.

Perhaps because Uncle Shi had been by her side the whole time, Shi Yue's personality was not nearly as eccentric and aloof as she had seemed.

Moreover, even their age difference has changed!

Mingpo remembered that Shiyue was born when he was in the third or fourth grade of elementary school in his previous life. Uncle Shi, who lived across the street, asked him and his nanny to help take care of little Yueyue.

It has to be said, Uncle Shi has a really big heart.

A child who can't even walk can be looked after by a neighbor; there's no need to worry about them not being taken care of properly and something going wrong.

He was probably around eight or nine years old at the time. Popular games back then included games like "Kill the Kids" and "Grand Theft Auto." "CrossFire" and "DNF" were also quite popular back then, but Mingpo didn't like playing online games; he found them too noisy.

When Shiyue got a little older, while Mingpo played games like Assassin's Creed, Prototype, and GTA with a cold expression, she would obediently sit behind her, sucking her fingers and staring intently at the screen.

Sometimes, Mingpo's nanny couldn't stand it anymore and felt that Mingpo shouldn't let the child watch such bloody things... At this time, Mingpo would simply turn off the computer and watch TV with Shiyue.

Aside from TV series like Journey to the West, The Legend of the White Snake, and Lotus Lantern, which were repeatedly rebroadcast, the more popular shows at the time were TV series like Fireball Boys and Happy Planet, as well as anime like Code Geass and Detective Conan.

Because when Mingpo is taking care of children, she doesn't make concessions for them.

He wouldn't play games he didn't like, nor would he watch cartoons he didn't enjoy. His attitude was always "watch what you want, I won't interfere or chase you away," and he wouldn't even offer to explain anything; he would just play by himself. However, if Shi Yue asked him a question, he would reply with a word or two, and wouldn't leave the child feeling neglected.

This can be considered a kind of preparatory course for becoming a live streamer.

A streamer with such a cold attitude and few words probably won't become popular.

...Thinking back now, Shiyue's aesthetic sense and hobbies may have changed because of the "education" Mingpo received in her childhood. And this reincarnation of Shiyue is completely different from her previous life.

She was born much earlier, in 2002.

In her previous life, Mingpo was born in 96, but in this life, she was born in 98. Shiyao's birth year also shifted from 05 to 02. This demonstrates that people are born at different times during each reincarnation.

Shortly after Mingpo's birth, the company war broke out. Shiyue was born amidst the war.

When Mingpo was taken to the company's laboratory to treat her congenital disease, she was handed over to Uncle Shi. Shi Yue was also placed in the laboratory by him... This place served as a rear base and was a relatively well-protected facility.

At that time, Mingpo had several friends in the lab, one of whom was Shiyue.

Since there was no option to "play alone," Mingpo actually got along quite well with others when she was young. As for things like animation and TV series, they were basically out of the question... With nuclear weapons being deployed outside, it was already a miracle that they could survive safely in the underground facility.

However, precisely because of this, Mingpo and Shiyue had a relatively healthy childhood.

Five or six children chased and played around with each other every day.

Aside from games like hide-and-seek and role-playing, there's really not much else to do.
