Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

Chapter 91 At the end of the map lies the way home and the key (Please subscribe)

Reaching the roadside at the foot of the mountain, Chen Bainian took out his phone and called a car.

On the evening of the Qingming Festival, there were not many vehicles on the road. The two waited for a while before a black ride-hailing car smoothly stopped in front of them.

The driver was a middle-aged man who didn't talk much. After confirming the last four digits of Chen Bainian's phone number, he focused on driving towards Mingchun Garden.

The car made a turn at the foot of West Lake and Lingyin Mountain, and then left the bustling scenic area of ​​Lin'an during the Qingming Festival.

Jiang Yiting leaned back in her car seat, watching the streetlights gradually come on outside the window. The fatigue accumulated from walking all day slowly welled up, but she felt a strange sense of satisfaction and relaxation.

She suddenly turned her head and looked at Chen Bainian, who was also looking out the window beside her.

The flowing light and shadow outside the car illuminated his sharply defined profile, adding a touch of depth to his already quiet aura.

Jiang Yiting spoke softly, her tone playful: "Little brother, don't you feel like today was like exploring a new map and completing achievements in a game? It really suits your system, doesn't it?"

"Hmm?" Chen Bainian turned his head at the sound, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"Look," Jiang Yiting said, pointing to her fingers as she began to recount their experiences of the day. "First, there was the opening scene and map of Jiuxi Shibajian in the morning. Taking a photo together amidst the unexpected scenery was the map achievement."

Then there's the Longjing Village map at noon. Farmhouse No. 336 is a hidden dungeon. Farmhouse chicken and whitebait are limited-time delicacies, and there's also the rare item Mingqian Longjing tea. As for the limited-time achievement, it's Grandpa and Grandma's Tea Classic.

Yes, after leaving Longjing Village, a stunning cutscene featuring a view of West Lake in the rain was triggered —

As Jiang Yiting spoke, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "In the afternoon, we moved to the Lingyin Ancient Temple map, completed the interactive activity of offering incense, experienced the Lingyin vegetarian noodles, a unique recovery item in the Lingyin map, and finally obtained the binding item, the peace buckle—doesn't this whole series feel like an open-world game, with a full sense of accomplishment and exploration?"

Her tone was light and cheerful, as if she were describing today's life as a fun game that the two of them were exploring together.

Chen Bainian listened and smiled, then readily agreed: "Indeed, my character experience has increased a lot, my inventory is full, and I even got some very meaningful souvenirs. However—my whiteboard isn't big enough to hold all that information. Hmm, I'll make a document; maybe I can use it when I'm making games in the future."

"Hehe." Jiang Yiting's eyes lit up, with a hint of smugness. "If it really becomes a game, I'll be the first player to try it out."

"Okay." Chen Baiqing nodded cleverly, then added with a touch of enjoyment, "The weather and time systems can also be made richer, like the late autumn of Jiuxi and Shibajian, and the snowy West Lake. In the future, we might even be able to add more maps —"

Chen Bainian's tone softened, and his seemingly joking words carried a hint of seriousness: "We could also add a homestead system, allowing players to manage their own place like the 'Courtyard No. 336'—"

'

"That's a great idea!" Jiang Yiting's eyes lit up, as if she could already see the blueprint. "Then I'll definitely be a casual player who logs in every day to grow vegetables and brew tea!"

The cramped space of the carriage seemed to be separated into a small world just for the two of them by their relaxed and interesting conversation.

The traffic, neon lights, and noise outside the window were all pushed far away.

After passing through the community gate, the black ride-hailing car smoothly entered the Mingchunyuan community and parked downstairs in Unit 3 where the two lived.

The two packed their things and got off the bus.

The evening breeze carried a slight chill after the rain, and the warm, dim streetlights in the neighborhood had already come on, enveloping the two people returning home.

"Finally back." Jiang Yiting stood in front of the building, stretched a little, and moved her tired and stiff body.

The familiar atmosphere in the neighborhood immediately put her at ease.

"Okay, get some rest early tonight." Chen Bainian slung the large backpack full of tea leaves for the two of them over his shoulder again.

The two walked into the elevator side by side, and the numbers on the display panel jumped and stopped at the number "12".

In the familiar entrance hallway, Jiang Yiting changed her shoes while taking out her keychain from her small bag.

On the keychain, the newly bought safety buckle and two keys lightly touched, making a crisp sound.

As Jiang Yiting opened the door to apartment 1202, she called out, "Big brother, we're back!"

After guarding the house alone all day, "Big Brother" stood up from the cat bed in the living room and strolled over to Jiang Yiting.

After gently rubbing against her feet, it looked at Chen Bainian, who was changing his shoes at the door, as if to confirm whether his rightful owner had returned safely.

Chen Bainian changed his shoes and naturally followed Jiang Yiting into room 122.

He went to the dining table next to the living room, put down the large backpack, and then carefully took out the tea belonging to Jiang Yiting and neatly arranged it on the inside of the table.

Jiang Yiting squatted down, rubbed her older brother's head, and whispered to him, "Did you cause any trouble at home today?"

When I caught a glimpse of Chen Bainian tidying up his things out of the corner of my eye, the warm-toned light outlined his reassuring profile.

"Little brother." Jiang Yiting stood up, walked to the dining table, looked at the tea leaves laid out, and said, "You do the math. My tea cost, plus other expenses today, like transportation and meals, we'll split the bill."

"Okay," Chen Bainian replied naturally, without refusing.

He took out his phone, brought up the calculator, and based on several payment records from today, tapped the screen a few times before giving an accurate number.

"Okay." After Jiang Yiting transferred the money to him via WeChat, she added, "By the way, remember to send me a copy of the photos and videos you took with the drone today."

She hadn't forgotten the tea plantations of Longjing Village, or the view of West Lake from the Shili Langdang.

"Okay, I'll send it to you when I get back." Chen Bainian nodded, zipped up his backpack, paused, and then said, "Then send me a copy of our photo too."

"Mmm," Jiang Yiting responded softly.

"I'll head back now. You should get some rest; you've walked quite a bit today," Chen Bainian said, slinging his backpack over his shoulder.

"Wait a moment," Jiang Yiting suddenly called out to her.

After buying a peace buckle at Lingyin Temple in the afternoon, as I looked at the lonely key on his keychain, that thought flashed through my mind again.

She turned around, squatted down in front of the TV cabinet, opened a drawer, rummaged through it briefly, and then came back holding a small, cold object.

"Here, this is for you." Jiang Yiting spoke very softly, without even looking up at him, her eyes lowered, staring intently at the tips of her shoes.

Chen Bainian's gaze fell on what she was holding between her fingers, and he paused almost imperceptibly.

That was a key.

There's no need for complicated guessing about where the key is from.

What giving away this key means is crystal clear to him, who once voluntarily handed over his key to room 1201.

A strange feeling, a mixture of surprise and a heavy sense of responsibility, instantly struck his heart.

He paused for a moment, then reached out and gently pinched the other end of the key with his fingertips.

The moment he took the key from Jiang Yiting's hand, he seemed to feel her fingertips tremble slightly.
