I Might Really Not Be Able to Do It

It was Irena's first time in Ye Chuan's room, and she was curious about everything around her.

Even the simple bed was completely different from the beds on the Aether Continent.

"This is a computer. You can think of it as a kind of magic hub that can connect to the whole world for communication. And this..." Ye Chuan began to introduce everything one by one.

Irena listened quietly, her beautiful emerald eyes blinking before she finally spoke in a soft voice,

"Um, Lord Xixi, I still want to play games together."

"Oh, I almost forgot. Then I'll take you to play some games for a while. It's almost time for dinner anyway, so I'll give you a detailed introduction later."

Irena was full of curiosity about the game's contents; it was her first time playing too.

"Hmm, let me see. Let's play Speed Racing. Since you don't know how to play, let's choose Item Mode." As Ye Chuan spoke, he directly handed over his controller.

"Your Highness, this is the controller. Take it."

"Okay..." Irena held the controller, feeling curious about everything that was about to happen.

"This is forward, and this is backward. You can try to go a bit faster to familiarize yourself with the controls," Ye Chuan continued to guide Irena on how to play the game.

Irena began to operate the controller. As a native of the Aether Continent, she had never touched a controller before. At first, she couldn't even find the right buttons and could only clumsily try to control the character bit by bit.

"Lord Xixi, am I... a bit stupid?" Irena said softly. She had never learned this before and was just afraid that Ye Chuan would find her to be a burden.

"It doesn't matter. You'll be coming here often in the future, just take it step by step." Ye Chuan, however, was very patient and rubbed Irena's head.

Irena seemed to master the technique very quickly. Although she spoke hesitantly, she had no problem operating the controller.

"Right, it's very simple, isn't it?" Ye Chuan glanced at Irena's lap time. Even though it was only on beginner difficulty, reaching the finish line in ten minutes on her first try was considered some progress.

"Can I try again?" Irena asked.

"Yes, try again." Ye Chuan directly used a cheat code to restore the race car's stamina.

This time, Irena focused on controlling the car, trying hard to steer through every corner before using nitrous to accelerate.

Her second attempt was excellent, finishing under eight minutes.

"Lord Xixi, does this count as a success?" Irena asked.

"Not bad. As a beginner, you should start with Item Mode. I'll teach you how to use them." Ye Chuan took over and began to control Irena's car. Compared to Irena, who was a complete novice, his skills were no joke.

"This item can launch a shockwave to continuously attack your opponents." Ye Chuan picked up an item and, sure enough, began to continuously release shockwaves, directly attacking the opponent.

Irena widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief. "So amazing... this..."

"And this item is blue nitrous. It lowers the energy-gathering threshold, making it faster to build up a boost." Ye Chuan continued to explain. Irena was almost dumbfounded. "You can even do that..."

"But you have to be careful when picking up blue nitrous, because if you're not careful, you'll lose control." Because Ye Chuan had used seven or eight blue nitrous boosts, the efficiency of gathering energy had directly increased dozens of times.

Fortunately, the car's performance was decent. When the race car went through the corners, it didn't slip even though water splashed all over the ground.

"Your Highness, I'll leave it all to you." Ye Chuan handed the controller over, having explained all the basic points to her.

Irena seemed to take a deep breath, adjusting her state before taking Ye Chuan's controller.

Entering the race.

"No, the start failed." As soon as Irena's car entered the game, she failed the starting boost; she was simply too nervous.

But fortunately, it was just a single-player game, so Irena had countless chances.

"..." After a successful start, the boss of the Item Mode also began to appear. Irena remembered the key points Ye Chuan had mentioned, and since the car was already fully warmed up, she began to dodge up and down to avoid the opponent's attacks.

"I'll leave it to you." Ye Chuan lazily lay on the sofa, watching Irena play by herself. Her Highness was quite a fast learner when it came to these things.

Irena didn't speak; at this moment, she was completely immersed in the game.

However, her mechanics were indeed lacking. If she kept going like this, she would have to start all over again. Seeing this, Ye Chuan helped by pressing the red button.

"Wait a minute..." Irena reacted, but it seemed it was already too late.

"Careful with your health bar, you've already lost several lives."

After a while, Ye Chuan gave a reminder. Even though it was just a simple boss, Irena had already lost several lives and couldn't even take off a single health bar from the opponent.

"Lord Xixi, I really might not be able to do this." Irena shook her head, almost crying as she spoke.

After all, she was just a beginner. Dealing with a high-level boss was still too difficult, especially since she was super easy to get one-shot.

"Alright." Ye Chuan had no choice but to take over the battle.

Under Irena's incredulous gaze, Ye Chuan used the mechanics to empty the boss's health bars one after another. After all, it was a familiar racing item mode, so defeating the boss Gil was too easy.

"Thank you, Lord Xixi," Irena murmured. She narrowed her eyes slightly, perhaps feeling sleepy.

Ye Chuan patted Irena's cheek. "Want to try again? It's actually a lot of fun."

"Mhm." Irena hesitantly shook her head. "Lord Xixi..."

Irena just wanted to rest for a while and didn't want to touch this boss anymore. It was simply not something an ordinary person could deal with. However, if they took it on together, it might be okay.

...

At dinnertime, Irena returned to the dining room. As the queen of an empire on the Aether Continent, her appearance indeed left the household members unable to contain their surprise.

"Here comes another one," Lan Xiaoke said.

"Just get used to it." Bai Qianshuang was unsurprised.

"Good thing the house is big enough. Oh, Chuan Chuan." Luo Xi instead felt fortunate that Ye Chuan had renovated the house a while ago, directly transforming it into a multiverse apartment.

However...

"Angelina..."

"Angelina?"

By the dining table, two Angelinas, one big and one small, looked at each other in dismay, seemingly completely unable to imagine each other's existence.

Because the memories of the younger Angelina had been implanted, the two Angelinas had exactly the same memories, apart from their different body sizes.

"The older Angelina was brought back from another timeline," Ye Chuan explained.

"Whoa, an alter Angelina?" Lan Xiaoke understood Ye Chuan's mind the best. "Are you serious? Are we doing gacha pulls in the real world now?"

"You can think of it that way."

"At this rate, it will never be my turn," Lan Xiaoke said.
