The distant relative spoke first: "Oh my, your child has grown so much! Look at our child, they take after their dad, with big eyes! #LooksShowoff#"

Mom instantly lost 5 health points.

Mom subtly retorted: "My child loves Chinese hip-hop and everyone says they have talent! #TalentShowoff: Language Artist#"

"Your child is also good! We went to the Maldives recently, and the child was so happy! #TravelShowoff#"

Mom: "I don't emphasize how much my child flows; without rhythm, it's just stand-up comedy. #TalentShowoff: Beat Controller#"

The two exchanged barbs, battling back and forth for 5 rounds, ultimately ending with Mom's victory.

This first face-saving battle can be said to have no difficulty at all; it's mainly to familiarize the player with the face-saving battle process.

The distant relative started with 40 fewer health points than Mom, and the boastful words weren't very damaging, so even a sloppy counterattack could win.

However, the difficulty of subsequent face-saving battles will gradually increase, requiring mastery of higher-quality talents to win.

"Looks like the opponent is nothing more than this! Face +30"

Tuo Yi was very curious: "What can this 'face' be used for?"

Returning to the background interface, Little Tuo seemed a bit sleepy from drawing, his eyes half-open and half-closed, and he fell asleep leaning against the rocking horse, blowing a big bubble from his nose.

After one round of the itinerary, Mom said with a smile: "What do you want? As long as you behave well, I'll buy it for you!"

The narrator said: "When parents have a high satisfaction level, they will give you the opportunity to fulfill your wishes. If there's something you want, you can get it through the [Request] option in the tasks!"

At the bottom of the screen, a shaking achievement icon appeared.

Tuo Yi clicked on it, and it was a beautifully drawn greeting card, with a lush green countryside and a small stream flowing through the grass. A wise-looking owl stood on a branch, cute hedgehogs rolled on the ground, and various small animals such as bears and deer played, the painting filled with childlike imagination.

The greeting card came with a small red flower: Selected as the most obedient child in kindergarten.

"Congratulations on receiving the reward! Comprehension +100"

After receiving this little red flower, a red dot appeared on the task button in the lower right corner of the screen, indicating that he could request a reward from his parents.

Tuo Yi thought: "Making parents satisfied can get you the opportunity to request rewards? How realistic."

Dad casually draped an arm over his briefcase, his posture bold and confident, with a knowing expression on his face: "Don't try to butter me up, just say it, what do you want?"

There were three reward options given.

Neighborhood Slide: The slide in the neighboring upscale community, you can sneak in and play. (Face \u003e 80, Success Rate 75%)

Sofa Trampoline: Bounce on the sofa and play it like a trampoline. (Face \u003e 112, Success Rate 50%)

Tablet Games: Download new tablet games for toddlers. Face \u003e 176, Success Rate 25%)

Tuo Yi realized: "So this is what 'face' is used for!"

The lower the reward, the higher the 'face' required, and the increased attributes are definitely better, but the success rate of the request will decrease.

Requesting rewards from parents not only requires parental satisfaction and sufficient 'face,' but also a bit of luck.

Little Tuo's 'face' attribute had increased a bit in the previous rounds of arranged actions, plus the victory in the face-saving battle, so he now had 160 'face' and could only choose the neighborhood slide or the sofa trampoline.

Tuo Yi chose to request the sofa trampoline, but unfortunately, he didn't succeed and was rebuffed by his father: "It's so dirty, don't play on it."

The round ended, and the parents had new expectations, hoping that Little Tuo could get into a key primary school.

The "Parents' Satisfaction" and "My Stress" attributes were also displayed at the top of the screen.

Currently, the stress value had turned red, but Tuo Yi didn't notice it.

"How should this round's itinerary be arranged? Let's do three Pinyin practices and three neighborhood strolls."

"Practicing Pinyin!"

The parents' satisfaction was already at full value, and after this Pinyin study, accompanied by a "ding ding" celebration sound effect, Mom said: "You're so good, you're doing great, Mom will take you to eat something delicious."

Reward: Psychological Shadow -5, Action Points +30, Request Attempts +1

After receiving the reward, the parents' satisfaction value returned to the middle position.

Tuo Yi pondered: "Studying can increase parents' satisfaction, and entertainment will decrease parents' satisfaction. It seems that I have to keep studying so that I can get rewards."

However, continuing to study Pinyin, the stress value also reached its limit.

A depressing sound effect rang out, and a prompt popped up: "You have a new psychological state: Suspicious."

Narrator: "Why are there always so many things to worry about, so tiring!"

Exhausted: Psychological Shadow Area +15, Intelligence -10

Although the stress returned to the middle position afterward, the negative personality had already been generated.

Tuo Yi opened his mouth in shock: "No way!"

He reflected: "It seems that you can't let children study all the time, nor can you let them play all the time. Although studying all the time satisfies parents, the stress is too great. You may not be able to see anything in the short term under physical and mental fatigue, but if it continues, it will collapse one day. And if you play all the time, your parents will not be satisfied, so you must alternate between studying and entertainment."

But then he remembered something: "Before, my parents had a new expectation, hoping that the child could go to a key primary school, but to go to a key primary school, there are still some attributes lacking, so the child must study more. But studying more will put too much stress on the child, so isn't that a conflict?"

Tuo Yi was extremely conflicted for a while.

Should he think about the child's future and let him study more, or should he let him spend every day happily?

After thinking about it, let's just develop in a mediocre way, balancing study and entertainment.

It feels like it's okay when you're a child, you can arrange anything for your child, but now that they're a little older, there are more and more things to consider.

Is this what it means to be more worrying the older you get?

"Daily | Queueing and Waiting"

"When Mom picked you up from home, she encountered a chicken leg discount and personally demonstrated sneaking into the queue! As a result, you righteously refused and returned to the end of the line."

"Have you had a similar experience? Yes/No"

Tuo Yi chose no without hesitation.

From a young age, Mom taught him by example, letting him know what is good, what is bad, what can be done, and what cannot be done.

Tuo Yi clicked on the personal information panel in the upper left corner according to the instructions.

Little Tuo, 5 years old, Tricolor Kindergarten.

There are several columns here: Psychological State, Close Friends, Development Advice, and Family.

The psychological shadow is a circular pie chart, mostly white, and a small area is painted black.

"The area of the psychological shadow is affected by factors such as parental rewards, punishments, and self-stress. Note that when the area of the psychological shadow reaches 100, the game enters a failed ending!"

The current psychological shadow area is 15 square units.

"This should be designed according to the 'asking about the area of the psychological shadow' meme, right?" Tuo Yi thought, "After that, I must pay attention to the stress and not let the psychological shadow area grow anymore!"
