Regardless of whether it seemed worthwhile to outsiders, at least Su Hou felt that his anger had subsided quite a bit. In any case, he did not expect his old man to go along with him. Quarreling with his old man was just a way to vent his emotions, and at the same time, to express his dissatisfaction.
Su Hou now had two farms. One was a partnership with Fang Zhao. Dongshan Farm was still in operation. Of course, the farm had only been built for a short time, so it was not very profitable. However, because of the sheep-herding championship, it had a certain reputation. Perhaps it would take a few more years for it to recoup its losses.
As for the other piece of land he had won from the sheep-herding championship, Su Hou also planned to build a farm there. However, that piece of land was currently being held by one of his uncles, Su Feng's father, who said that he would give it to Su Hou when he was of age. It was not that the other party coveted Su Hou's piece of land, but he was worried that with Su Hou's IQ, he would be cheated easily. He would help keep it for now, and in a few years when Su Hou matured and had some experience, the land would be returned to him.
Su Hou approved of this. He also knew that he was not smart. If he had not been lucky enough to run into Fang Zhao, he would have suffered a terrible setback.
Overall, the Su family was not as chaotic as outsiders thought. Just like the Renault family in Leizhou, they might have been squabbling over trivial matters for a long time, but when it came to important matters, they were still very united. Otherwise, they would not have been able to survive for 500 years.
There were people in the Su family who did not like Su Hou, but there were also people who supported him. For example, Su Feng, Su Feng's father, and a few other brothers and sisters who usually teased him but would stand by his side at crucial times.
Fang Zhao noticed Curly Hair constantly glancing at the gaming room, so he asked Su Hou, "Can I go in and take a look?"
"Uh... sure... sure," Su Hou stammered.
Su Hou was a little embarrassed. He was afraid that Fang Zhao would laugh at him.
In the game room, there was naturally a game console. However, because Su Hou was still young, he could not play many of the popular games. He could only play a few small games to relieve his boredom. The console he used the most was the beginner's console for children. It could not compare to professional gaming equipment, but it had accompanied Su Hou from kindergarten to elementary school, and then to middle school. Even though his older brothers and sisters had given him other professional game consoles, Su Hou had the deepest affection for this beginner's console. After coming to Dongshan Farm, he had brought it with him.
Originally, Su Hou had intended to wait for the 10th-generation console to arrive before letting everyone tour his gaming room, but now that Fang Zhao had asked, he hesitated for a bit before agreeing. Actually, there was nothing shameful about it. Wasn't it just a game console for children? Who had not used it before?
Su Hou fished out his keys and opened the door. This room did not have an electronic lock, but when the 10th-generation console arrived, Su Hou planned to change the lock.
Fang Zhao entered and scanned the various gaming equipment in the room. Most of the gaming helmets were for minors. There were five gaming helmets, four of which were placed on a shelf and looked like they had not been used for a long time. Only one was placed on a chair in the middle. The design of the helmet was rather cartoonish. There were even some cartoons printed on it. It was simpler and lighter than professional gaming helmets.
The beginner's console was a game console used by kindergarteners and primary school students in the New Era to assist in learning. It was said that it had the effect of developing the brain.
However, generally speaking, very few people used beginner's consoles after grade five.
Seeing Fang Zhao holding the beginner's gaming helmet and studying it, Su Hou said sheepishly, "They say that I am too stupid and that I can continue using the beginner's console to develop my brain. Perhaps my intelligence will increase after using it more."
Zuo Yu, who was standing guard at the door: "..." You believe that? Indeed, your intelligence has not improved.
Generally speaking, beginner's consoles were only suitable for children below the age of 10. Older children were basically not suitable for using beginner's consoles. Su Hou was already in secondary school. Using beginner's consoles had no effect at all. He believed whatever others said. No wonder he was cheated.
Su Hou did not notice Zuo Yu's expression. Seeing that Fang Zhao did not laugh at him, he relaxed a little. "Actually, I don't play much. I only play it when I'm bored."
"Can I give it a try?" Fang Zhao asked.
"... Ah?" Su Hou was stunned. He had not expected that Fang Zhao, the number one user of the 10th-generation console, would say such a thing.
"Sure, but the beginner's console cannot compare to professional gaming consoles, and even more so to the 10th-generation console. Master Zhao, you might not be used to it."
At this moment, Su Hou received a call from his younger sister. She said that they were about to reach the farm. Their primary school was on holiday. She had heard that someone was delivering the 10th-generation console to Dongshan Farm, so she had tagged along.
Su Hou could not help but smile. He said to Fang Zhao, "Master Zhao, you stay here and take a look. I will go and receive you."
"Go ahead."
After Su Hou left, Zuo Yu wanted to peek inside to see how Fang Zhao would use the beginner's console, but when he turned his head, Fang Zhao had already closed the door and locked it.
Zuo Yu: "..." Alright, Boss didn't want to be seen using the beginner's console. He could understand. He really could not tell that a grown man like Su Hou was still a child at heart. He had the same beginner's complex as Su Hou.
In the room.
Fang Zhao held the beginner's gaming helmet and turned on the monitor at the side. It displayed all sorts of games with a strong sense of children. Some trained the brain on thought control, some trained the brain on reaction speed.
Unlike professional gaming consoles, the beginner's gaming helmet only served as a brain signal receiver and a remote control. The monitor displayed the controls and game images.
As Fang Zhao studied the beginner's console and some of the games on it, Curly Hair squatted in front of Fang Zhao and whined. After whining for a while, he looked at Fang Zhao and then at the gaming helmet in Fang Zhao's hands.
Fang Zhao shifted his gaze away from the monitor and looked at Curly Hair at his feet. "Want to play?"
"Woof!" Curly Hair wagged his tail vigorously.
"Let's give it a try."
Fang Zhao placed the beginner's gaming helmet on a chair. Curly Hair jumped up and burrowed his head into the helmet. He even used the armrest of the chair to adjust the helmet's angle.
Fang Zhao silently watched this dog put on the gaming helmet and squat there. He faced the monitor, moved the cursor on the screen, selected a game, and entered.
He was so skilled. One look and it was obvious that this wasn't his first time playing!
Curly Hair chose the whack-a-mole game, which was also a game that young children liked.
He chose the medium difficulty and time limit mode.
Fang Zhao watched as the score on the right side of the monitor steadily rose. Curly Hair's controls didn't make a single mistake or miss!
When the one-minute time limit was up, the system gave a rating of five stars.
This was the most outstanding rating.
After playing one round, Curly Hair swiftly erased the record and exited. He withdrew his head, took off the helmet, and jumped down from the chair.
Fang Zhao could tell that this was completely Curly Hair's habitual reaction. This fellow probably took advantage of Su Hou's simple-minded nature to sneak in and play countless times. He even knew how to erase the record. Fang Zhao really didn't know whether to praise him for being daring or praising him for being cautious.
Fang Zhao didn't say anything. Curly Hair's tail wagging gradually slowed down, as though he was afraid that Fang Zhao would get angry.
"One more time. There's no internet connection now. There's no need to hold back," Fang Zhao said.
Hearing this, Curly Hair's tail, which had just stopped wagging, started wagging vigorously again. With a whoosh, he rushed up to the chair, put on the helmet, and chose the previous game. This time, he chose the highest difficulty.
Within a minute, the image on the screen seemed to have been fast-forwarded. Every time Curly Hair hit the target, the special effects that increased the score displayed were like exploding fireworks. If it had been someone with poor eyesight, they probably wouldn't have been able to keep up with the changes on the screen. However, Fang Zhao could see clearly that Curly Hair's controls were still as accurate as before. There were still no mistakes or misses!
The progress bar at the side that showed the score was rising faster and faster, as if it was going to shoot up at an extremely high speed.
When the minute was up, Curly Hair didn't immediately exit the game. He just detached himself from the gaming helmet, looked at the score displayed on the screen, and then looked at Fang Zhao. He wagged his tail slowly and waited nervously for Fang Zhao's evaluation.
However, before Fang Zhao could say anything, Curly Hair's ears twitched, and he quickly jumped down from the chair. He crouched beside Fang Zhao's feet and looked toward the door.
There was a hurried knock on the door.
"Master Zhao, my 10th-generation console is here!" Su Hou's excited voice rang out.
Fang Zhao glanced at the screen and still hadn't erased this record.
Opening the door, Su Hou entered, his face beaming with delight. He was about to tell Fang Zhao about his new game console when his gaze landed on the open screen. When he saw the difficulty level, score, and system rating, his eyes widened.
"I have never received a two-star evaluation or above when playing this game at the highest difficulty level! Master Zhao is awesome! As expected of the world's number one point-sweeping demon! "
