168: Play together

Seeing their expectant faces, Lei Jun smiled and said, "Then it's settled!"

She turned to Lin Xiaoya. "Want to play some games for a bit? We'll eat as soon as Su Qing finishes cooking."

"Sure, sure!"

Lin Xiaoya nodded hurriedly. She usually enjoyed mobile games, but her skills weren't great, and she was often criticized by her teammates.

"My god, Sister Lei, you're amazing!"

Lin Xiaoya's eyes were wide with wonder, and she couldn't stop exclaiming.

She already knew Sister Lei had great moves, a strong background, and was beautiful, but she hadn't expected her to be so incredible at gaming too!

She was simply an all-around goddess!

Her admiration for Lei Jun grew even more; it seemed there was nothing Sister Lei couldn't do.

She used to get scolded by teammates while playing, but now, following Sister Lei, she could not only win but also get the MVP. This feeling was just too good!

Lei Jun gave a faint smile.

To her, this was all thanks to the system's enhancements.

After her body reached the human limit, her neural reflexes and hand-eye coordination far exceeded those of ordinary people. Playing this kind of game was as easy as drinking water; there was no difficulty at all.

After playing for a while, Su Qing stepped out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Miss Lei, it's time to eat."

The group went to the dining room, where the table was already covered with dishes.

In the center was a large bowl of Braised Lion's Head meatballs in clear soup; the meatballs were white and floated in the clear broth, garnished with emerald-green vegetables. Beside it was pan-seared silver cod, its skin golden and crispy, drizzled with lemon juice.

There was also crab roe tofu, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and matsutake mushroom and bamboo fungus soup. Every dish looked, smelled, and tasted perfect.

Lei Jun picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of the Lion's Head meatball into her mouth.

The meat was delicate and tender, melting the moment it touched her tongue.

She nodded with satisfaction. Su Qing's skills were getting better and better, surprising her every time.

These home-cooked dishes suited her appetite much better than the delicacies found in outside restaurants.

She then tasted the silver cod. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the sweet and sour lemon juice perfectly neutralizing the fishiness, resulting in an excellent texture.

The crab roe tofu was savory and rich; the tofu melted in her mouth, and every bite contained bits of crab meat.

The matsutake and bamboo fungus soup was clear and fresh. A single sip made her stomach feel warm and very comfortable.

Lin Xiaoya couldn't stop eating, her mouth stuffed with food as she said indistinctly, "This is too delicious! Sister Su Qing, your cooking is just too amazing!"

"It's better than any restaurant I've ever been to!"

The Lion's Head was tender and juicy, and the silver cod was fresh and savory.

She continued to praise the food as she ate.

"Sister Su Qing, you're too incredible! How can you make it taste this good?"

"Whoever marries you in the future will be so lucky!"

Su Qing's cheeks flushed from the praise, and she said sheepishly, "You're exaggerating. It's just some home cooking. If you like it, eat more."

Her heart felt sweet. Gaining the approval of Miss Lei and Xiaoya made her happier than receiving a bonus.

Su Ya also nodded in agreement, saying repeatedly, "It really is delicious. My sister is amazing."

Seeing them eat so happily, Lei Jun also ate quite a bit more than usual.

By the end of the meal, everyone was stuffed. Lin Xiaoya rubbed her round belly and said contentedly, "I'm so full. Sister Su Qing, I want to eat your cooking again next time!"

Lei Jun turned on the giant-screen TV in the living room and connected it.

Lin Xiaoya had originally thought she could help out a bit, but as soon as they started, she was stunned by Lei Jun's maneuvers.

Lei Jun's reaction speed was frighteningly fast. Enemies were accurately hit the moment they appeared. Her movement was so fluid it was like she was using a cheat, and her skill timing was perfect.

Lin Xiaoya barely had to lift a finger; she just followed behind Lei Jun to pick up kills, getting a free win the whole time... Early the next morning, Lei Jun took Lin Xiaoya, Su Qing, Su Ya, as well as Lei Ying, Lei Yue, and Lei Cai, to buy the sports gear needed for climbing the Great Wall.

Lei Cai had come specifically from Dami Group. She had just finished her financial audit work, so Lei Jun had her come along to relax.

The group arrived at the Shanghai IFC Mall and went into a store.

The store's decor was simple and elegant, with shelves filled with various outdoor clothing and equipment. Seeing Lei Jun's group, the clerk immediately greeted them warmly: "Hello, welcome! How can I help you today?"

Lei Jun glanced at the shelves and gave a broad wave of her hand.

"A set of windbreakers, quick-dry clothes, sports pants, and hiking boots for everyone. Also, get a few sun hats, trekking poles, knee pads, backpacks, and sun-protective clothing. I want the latest models. You help match the sizes."

The clerk's eyes lit up—this was a major customer!

The clerk nodded quickly. "Certainly! Please wait a moment, I'll arrange that for you right away!"

Lei Jun chose a black windbreaker made of waterproof and breathable fabric.

For hiking boots, she chose black high-top models that were anti-slip and wear-resistant.

She also specifically chose sun-protective clothing with a high SPF for everyone, as sun protection was important.

Lin Xiaoya watched as Lei Jun bought so many things in one go and clicked her tongue inwardly. Sister Lei was just too generous!

She checked the prices.

These things weren't cheap. A single set cost tens of thousands, yet Sister Lei didn't even blink as she bought a set for everyone, plus various accessories. This trip must have cost hundreds of thousands, right?

Su Qing and Su Ya also felt a bit awkward and kept saying, "Miss Lei, there's no need to buy so much. We have clothes to wear."

Lei Jun waved her hand. "Climbing the Great Wall requires professional gear. These are necessities; they're comfortable and safe to wear. Don't be polite; just consider them gifts from me."

Lei Ying, Lei Yue, and Lei Cai didn't say much. They knew Lei Jun's temperament and knew it was useless to argue, so they could only respectfully accept.

The clerk worked quickly, and before long, everything was packed up.

Lei Jun paid directly by swiping her card.

After buying the gear, the group went straight to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport to catch the earliest flight to the Imperial Capital.

When the plane landed at Capital International Airport, it was only a little past ten in the morning.

Lei Jun didn't go straight to the Great Wall. Instead, she first took everyone to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel she had booked in advance to check in.

The hotel was located in the city center with convenient transportation. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, offering a view of the Imperial Capital's cityscape.

"Let's rest a bit today and wander around the city. We'll go to the Badaling Great Wall early tomorrow morning," Lei Jun told everyone. "Climbing the Great Wall requires stamina, so get enough rest today."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Lin Xiaoya was especially excited; she had wanted to explore the Imperial Capital for a long time.

After dropping off their luggage, the group first went to the Forbidden City. The red walls, yellow tiles, and upturned eaves were so magnificent that everyone was struck with awe.

Lin Xiaoya took photos non-stop with her phone.

Su Qing and Su Ya were also dazzled, sighing in admiration at the wisdom of ancient craftsmen as they walked.

Lei Cai was very interested in the history and culture of the Forbidden City, stopping from time to time to read the introductions.

After touring the Forbidden City, the group arrived at a small alley.

It was bustling with activity, the streets lined with various specialty snacks and handicrafts.
