To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Little Heavenly Way couldn’t think of any effective methods to spend his virtues, and in the end, he could only feel distressed.

After understanding the other’s distress, Fang Cheng thought for a while and then said, “I’m trying to think of what’s fun, and you’re thinking about how to repay kindness, so why don’t you become my Protector, and we look for ways together?”

Upon hearing Fang Cheng’s invitation, Little Heavenly Way’s eyes immediately sparkled, his bright eyes full of expectation as he looked at Fang Cheng.

“Don’t worry, I’m not tricking you. Let’s go take a lookat our world.”

Grabbing Little Heavenly Way’shand, Fang Cheng stepped out, walking directly from the restroom into his workshop.

Gao Tianyun, who was squatting at the entrance chatting with people inside, was overjoyed to see Fang Cheng and hurried up to him, saying, “Mr. Fang, you’ re finally back! Is this your daughter?”

Xu Qingling, who sat at the reception, stood up with a face full of surprise upon seeing the entrance.

Not just her, Huang Ping, Xiao Douzi, and Wang Xiaoying came over too, and they all looked surprised to see the eleven-year-old Little Heavenly Way.

“Wow, she’s so cute. The boss’s daughter really looks like him. Aren’t you cold in those ancient clothes? Do you like cosplay?”

“She feels very close, very approachable.”

“If you don’t mind, can you call me brother?”

Xu Qjngling hesitated for a moment, then walked over to Little Heavenly Way and said, “You can call me mom, too.”

“She is a distant relative of mine, her parents are busy these days, so I’m looking after her for the time being.”

“I see,” Xu Qingling sighed in relief, but also felt a hint of disappointment.

Touching Little Heavenly Way’s face, she looked at Fang Cheng and asked, “So boss, what about her schooling?”

“She’s already sixteen years old, but she can’t speak, so she usually studies at home. However, there’s no need to treat her specially because of this. Also, she wants to work in the studio for a while, so if she takes interest in something, just let her learn it. Xu Qingling, you can delegate some of the administrative tasks to her, that way, you can relax a bit.”

“Okay, boss.”

With a sweet smile to Fang Cheng, Xu Qingling bent down to take Little Heavenly Way’s hand, smiling, “Let’s go, I’ll start by teaching you how to make tea. But just so you know, I am the one who makes the boss’s tea, so don’t try to take over.”

Little Heavenly Way looked at Xu Qingling, sensing only that the other was well-behaved and her scent made one comfortable.

She couldn’t help but grip the other’s hand tightly, nodding vigorously to show she understood.

When registering employee information and asked for her name, Little Heavenly Way thought for a moment, then wrote down her new name:

“TianXuan.”

And so, the workshop welcomed its seventh member, who appeared to be only twelve years old but was actually thousands of years old. She had been in charge of a world and was now learning how to repay the players – Little Heavenly Way TianXuan!

Huang Ping was genuinely happy about Tian Xuan’s arrival, but he soon realized a problem and couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

In his heart, he silently dreaded, hoping that Fang Cheng wouldn’t notice the issue, but Fang Cheng still clapped his hands and said, “Tian Xuan is here; let’s have a team-building event.”

“Boss!”

“No use in talking more. Also, Boss Gao, what are you doing here?”

“I’ll settle the bill for you,” Gao Tianyun declared righteously, “as if it were business dealings. After all, since pre-installing your game, our VR machines have been selling very well. Also, at the dinner table, I’d like to understand more about Mr. Fang’s future intentions. Let’s all look forward and who knows, in the process, we might just end up collaborating.”

“We don’t discuss work during our meals.”

“…Ah, alright then.”

Leaving the woeful Gao Tianyun behind, Fang Cheng went to dine with several others who were just as aggrieved before announcing the details of their time off.

Subsequently, they had another four-day long weekend ahead.

Bringing the newcomer, Tian Xuan, Fang Cheng returned to his home that evening, and met Mr. Fang, who was attempting to meditate in the living room.

In front of him laid a thread-bound book with obvious signs of artificial aging, filled with grotesque poses that challenged the limits of the human body.

Mr. Fang, trying out one pose after another, puzzledly said, “Strange, last time I saw Fang Cheng he was just sitting in this posture, why doesn’t it work for me?”

“Because you’re lacking the mental cultivation method,” Fang Cheng seriously said, “With the right method, you can even progress by lying down. Without it, no amount of practice will be of any use.”

“Is that so… Son, can you let me know before you come back next time? My heart nearly stopped just now.”

“Don’t sweat the details. Besides, if you die, I can bring you back as long as it hasn’t been over thirty years.”

“What happens if it’s over thirty years?”

“Only half will be salvaged.”

Mr. Fang pondered for a long time but couldn’t figure out which half would be salvaged. Then he saw Tian Xuan beside Fang Cheng and asked in surprise, “When did you have a kid? Is the child’s mother human?”

“…Age-wise it doesn’t make sense, and why do you assume the other party is not human?”

“I don’t know, it just feels like your other half might not be human in the future.”

Fang Cheng thoughtfully looked at Mr. Fang, “I think I know what you think of me now.”

At this moment, Mrs. Fang, who had been browsing TikTok in the room, came out and affectionately said to Fang Cheng, “Son, you’re back? When did you have a child? Is the child’s mother human?”

Looking at his mother, Fang Cheng felt that his parents were definitely a couple for ten lifetimes.

Their unspoken understanding was unmatched.

After learning the truth about Tian Xuan’s identity, Mr. and Mrs. Fang quickly accepted this reality and became very affectionate towards Tian Xuan.

After preparing the meal, they filled each other’s bowls with various dishes, then spoke lovingly, “This child looks so cute, and her eyes are particularly spiritual, very pleasant to look at.”

Mrs. Fang had always wanted to raise another little one to make up for the regrets of these years.

Now seeing Tian Xuan, her long-dormant maternal love burst forth once again.

And Tian Xuan truly was charming—being Little Heavenly Way, she naturally possessed an affinity. After changing into a newly bought little dress, she appeared even more adorable.

After dinner, Mrs. Fang didn’t even care about playing mahjong. She tookTian Xuan out for a walk to show off her new daughter to others.

While Mr. Fang cleaned up the kitchen, it slowly dawned on him.

Sitting next to Fang Cheng, who was meditating, he quietly asked, “Tian Xuan is Little Heavenly Way, so does she have any special abilities? Like winning the lottery or getting unexpected windfalls?”

“She’s the Heavenly Tao of another world.”

“So can I win the lottery in that other world?”

“Would you like to experience it?”

“Really?”

Fang Cheng opened the computer and downloaded “The Healer” for Mr. Fang to play for a while, then decide whether to go on vacation there.

After a while, Mr. Fang came back and said, “Forget it, I’ve lost interest. It’s okay if I don’t win the lottery.”

“Isn’t your pension enough?”

“It’s enough, but people always hope for some extra unexpected wealth.”

Fang Cheng looked at Mr. Fang and silently took note of his words.

His father always had many desires; he had tried many things when he was young, only to find out that the most successful thing was raising an immortal son.

Observing his father, Fang Cheng could always find interesting points to prepare for future games.

By the afternoon, Mrs. Fang returned with Tian Xuan, looking like a porcelain doll, her hands full of gifts.

Looking at the gifts, Mr. Fang asked in confusion, “What are these?”

“Gifts from others, they said Tian Xuan looked so cute that they sent them to build a connection. You should have seen the scene, they were almost ready to arrange a child betrothal. Oh, and someone sent this.”

Taking the lottery ticket handed over by Mrs. Fang, Fang Cheng asked in confusion, “What’s this?”

“It’s a ticket lottery ticket. Isn’t there a large amusement park opening in Rong City? They say it’s going to be the happiest place in Rong City. They’re in a trial operation now, and tickets can only be obtained through a draw, this is the lottery ticket. The odds aren’t high, so just take it as entertainment.”

The idea of the happiest place piqued Fang Cheng’s interest.

After stowing the two lottery tickets properly, he confirmed the date, then said to Tian Xuan, “Let’s go to the amusement park tomorrow.”

Tian Xuan, who was nibbling on a lollipop, nodded her head.

Seeing Fang Cheng so confident, Mr. Fang asked, puzzled, “Didn’t you say she’s not good at drawing lots?”

“But I am.”

“What about my lottery ticket… Okay, it’s a karma thing, right?”

Mr. Fang sighed, feeling that being an immortal seemed omnipotent, but the father of an immortal seemed not so much.
