Learning to play games, a 40-year-old woman achieves a remarkable turnaround.

Chapter 130 Enjoy the Moment

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the main quest: Help a lost and misguided teenager regain confidence and get out of his predicament. Reward: 1000 points and one lottery draw."

A crisp and pleasant system notification suddenly rang in Yuan Bao's mind. The sound seemed to have magic power, instantly dispelling the fatigue in her heart.

Yuan Bao recalled Deng Jinjun from the past. It was after she returned from studying in another city that she saw Deng Jinjun squatting on a street corner by chance. He was thin, haggard, and looked like a starving ghost. It was very frightening. The scene made her heart ache.

But now, everything is different in this game world.

With her help, Deng Jinjun gradually shook off the shadows of the past and regained his direction and confidence in life.

At this moment, Yuan Bao had given up on counting the exact points himself.

The 200,000 points required for the system upgrade is an astronomical figure, practically unattainable.

Currently, I can only earn a fixed 200 points per day. Calculated at this rate, it would take approximately one thousand days to accumulate enough.

Yuan Bao thought that if there were no special missions that could bring a lot of points, he might as well enjoy his current high school life.

After all, he didn't get into high school in the real world, so he never experienced high school life. Now that he has this opportunity, Yuan Bao doesn't plan to push the mission progress too hard.

Upon careful calculation, the accumulated points over a thousand days, plus the points gained from normal task progress, amount to approximately two years.

In this way, she was able to follow the plan, first successfully pass the university entrance exam, and then concentrate on upgrading the system. Everything seemed to be developing in an orderly manner in the ideal direction.

When the topic of lotteries came up, Yuan Bao instantly came up with what he considered a foolproof plan.

Thinking of this brilliant idea, Yuan Bao couldn't help but smile and chuckle to himself, secretly pleased with himself: "Hehe, I'm such a clever little devil!"

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, constantly imagining the surprises that might occur during the lottery, as if she could already see the moment when she would confidently win the prize she had been dreaming of.

The next day during break, Yuan Bao was sitting in his seat, intently looking at the test materials, his pen occasionally scribbling on the pages.

Suddenly, an urgent shout broke the silence: "Yuan Bao, Yuan Bao, someone is looking for you outside!"

Upon hearing the sound, Yuan Bao looked up and gazed out the window, where he saw an elegant lady standing in the corridor.

Upon closer inspection, she instantly recognized the person as Ms. Wen, the dance teacher from the cultural troupe.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yuan Bao's eyes. He quickly closed the book, got up, and ran out.

"Hi! Hello, Teacher Wen, it's been a long time!" Yuan Bao greeted with a smile, her face beaming with enthusiasm and her voice clear and cheerful.

Teacher Wen responded with a smile, her eyes full of concern: "Yuan Bao, I just happened to be passing by today, so I came to find you."

Here's the thing: I previously recommended you to participate in the city's New Year's Eve gala performance. I wanted to ask how your preparations are going? Do you need our performing arts troupe to put in a good word with the school so we can support your practice sessions?

The New Year's Eve gala is tentatively scheduled for December 28th, with rehearsals on November 30th and December 15th. The timeframe is rather limited.

Yuan Bao said earnestly, "Teacher Wen, there's nothing wrong with my performance. I've practiced the dance moves and music coordination many times."

These three days are supposed to be regular school days, no holiday. If you could let the school know in advance so I could ask for leave, I would be very grateful!

Teacher Wen nodded and said affirmatively, "You are such a worry-free child, you are serious and reliable in your work."

Don't worry, I'll take care of communicating with the school. I'll make sure everything is arranged properly for you.

This New Year's Eve gala is a major event in the city, and many industry professionals will be watching. It's a rare opportunity for you to showcase your talents, so you must do your best.

Yuan Bao smiled and nodded vigorously: "Teacher Wen, I understand the importance of this opportunity, and I will definitely do my best. I have been practicing every day from early morning to late at night, hoping to present my best performance at the gala."

Teacher Wen smiled with satisfaction and then added, "If you encounter any difficulties during the preparation process, whether it's dance techniques, costumes and props, or time coordination issues, just let me know. The performing arts troupe will always be your strong support."

Yuan Bao looked at Teacher Wen gratefully: "Teacher Wen, thank you so much! With your support and encouragement, I have more confidence. I will definitely work hard and live up to your and the art troupe's expectations of me."

Teacher Wen patted Yuan Bao on the shoulder and encouraged him, "I believe in you! I look forward to seeing your wonderful performance at the gala. I'll go talk to the school now, keep up the good work!"

Watching Teacher Wen's departing figure, Yuan Bao secretly cheered himself up.

As soon as Yuan Bao returned to the classroom, Mengmeng pulled him back to his seat and then surrounded him. Behind her was a group of curious classmates who quickly surrounded Yuan Bao.

"Yuan Bao, Yuan Bao," Mengmeng's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she bombarded him with questions, "Who was that beautiful lady who was looking for you just now? What did she want with you? I think I heard you're going to some kind of party, is that true?"

Other classmates chimed in, their voices rising and falling in a cacophony: "Yeah, yeah, tell us about it!"

With a gentle smile on his face, Yuan Bao answered generously, "That beautiful lady was a teacher in the dance class of the cultural troupe."

"A dance performance I completed at the performing arts troupe's dance class was recommended by them to participate in this year's city-organized New Year's Eve gala. She came over today specifically to inform me of the rehearsal and preliminary schedule."

"Wow!" The students exclaimed in amazement. "Yuan Bao, you're really amazing! You actually got to participate in the city's gala. That's incredible!"

At this moment, Zhang Mengmeng jumped out excitedly, her face beaming with pride, and said loudly, "That's right! Didn't I ask Yuan Bao to teach us to dance for the school's arts festival before? I knew she was an amazing dancer, she's really a hidden talent!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuxin, the arts and literature committee member, lit up. She quickly walked up to Yuan Bao and pretended to scold him, saying, "Yuan Bao, you really shouldn't do this! With such great talent, why don't you show it off? It's no fun hiding it away!"

Yuan Bao chuckled and explained, "No! I gave a speech on behalf of the freshmen at the school's arts festival, so I already had a chance to perform solo. Besides, the whole class is performing together, so I don't think it's necessary to stand out again. It's more important to give other students a chance."

Wang Yuxin, however, persisted, crossing her arms and saying, "I don't care, you have to take responsibility for us now. Our school has a dance club, and you're punished by having to lead us in dancing. You can't refuse!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao chuckled inwardly, thinking: This girl, it turns out she was waiting for me here.

However, she didn't hesitate and readily replied, "Hehe! Okay! No problem, I'll go to the dance club and teach you guys when we practice later."

However, let me make this clear beforehand: to avoid disrupting everyone's studies, it will only be once a week. You can discuss and decide on a specific day.

The students cheered with joy upon hearing this.

Wang Yuxin quickly said, "Then let's set it for every Friday afternoon. Everyone has plenty of time on weekends, so it's okay to practice a little later." The other students nodded in agreement.

Yuan Bao nodded in agreement: "Okay, then let's set it for every Friday afternoon. But everyone should be prepared in advance, I won't hold back, the training intensity will be quite high."

The students patted their chests and assured him, "Don't worry, Yuan Bao, we'll definitely study hard!"
