Chapter 24

Wang Bo's old electric scooter was small, and there was a box on the back of the vehicle that pressed against his back, so he and Lu Lu were already very close to each other. Moreover, the seat of the scooter sloped upward towards the back, and after sitting for a while, one would slide forward, let alone with the jolts from the ride.

Before long, he felt his crotch pressing against his classmate's buttocks. It wasn't a big deal at first, but unfortunately, he had a reaction at that moment, so he could only desperately suck in his stomach and pull in his abdomen.

Despite his best efforts, he was still affected by the inertia at a red light and slightly "offended" the female classmate driving the scooter.

Fortunately, Lu Lu was very focused while driving and seemed not to notice. He quickly took the opportunity to move his buttocks back when the vehicle stopped, and only relaxed after moving to a safe distance.

Then the green light turned on, and another bumpy journey began. By the time they reached their destination, he had "offended" her three times.

Lu Lu parked the scooter and asked him to get off. He supported himself with one leg and pretended to be cool, saying, "No need to be so troublesome, you get off, I'll switch hands."

Lu Lu got off, holding the handlebars, and Wang Bo took over. He noticed her face was a bit red and thought it was probably due to the wind. After handing her the bag, he said goodbye and turned to leave.

Lu Lu watched his retreating back, thinking about his awkward hunched posture just now, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle. In fact, she had immediately noticed his unusual behavior but deliberately didn't expose him, to see if he would take advantage. Fortunately, Wang Bo passed the test and restrained himself, so she didn't lose her temper on the spot.

On the way back, Wang Bo was relieved: "Thank goodness she didn't notice, or it would have been embarrassing. This woman drives too aggressively. Next time, I won't ride with her no matter what."

On the bus, Lu Lu thought: "Just when I decided to keep some distance, this happens. Is this a cursed relationship or what? But overall, he was still quite well-behaved, just a bit perverted, yeah, more than a bit."

Thinking about this, her face turned slightly red. She picked up her phone and dialed her friend's number: "Hello, Yu Jia... Yeah, I'm done with class... You're still volunteering? Okay, you go ahead, we'll talk later."

That night, Wang Bo went to bed early because he was eager to check the exchange system. After successfully entering the dream, he searched for items worth 30 points or less on the display screen.

This time, the list was much richer. In addition to the beginner driver and beginner teacher he had seen before, there were seven more items. Two of them, worth 30 points each, were初级 driver and初级 teacher, which were advanced skills after the beginner level and could only be exchanged after the beginner level, with significantly improved effects.

There were also three items worth 20 points. One was called the blue pill, with the effect: permanently increase X ability after consumption, limited to males, note: reduces lifespan, use with caution.

Wang Bo lost interest in this item as soon as he saw the side effects. Another was called the red pill, with the effect: halve the aging rate of appearance after consumption, limited to females, note: reduces lifespan, use with caution.

Another item with side effects, and for women, Wang Bo angrily skipped it and looked at the next one.

The third item was the lottery prediction, with the effect: after exchange, you can get the winning numbers for the next welfare lottery double-color ball, note: limited to the exchanger buying it themselves, and only one single bet, otherwise the numbers will become invalid.

5 million! Wang Bo thought excitedly: Although it's limited to one lottery ticket, even one ticket is 5 million, and after taxes, it's still about 4 million. I'll be rich.

He had just been thinking about exchanging a pill to sell for money, but now, seeing such an easy way to make money, he immediately forgot about the pills.

The exchange system was amazing, even controlling the winning lottery numbers. Wang Bo thought this, but he didn't rush to exchange, wanting to look at the other items.

The remaining two items worth 30 points were the beginner football player and the beginner basketball player. The effects were similar to the beginner driver and teacher, but he had no interest in them at the moment. If he were on the school team, he might consider exchanging them.

Now he had 30 points. He didn't need the beginner teacher anymore, as his English and math skills had improved, and he was confident of ranking in the top 100 in the grade. Among the current items, the most attractive to him was the 20-point lottery prediction!

The next double-color ball draw was on Sunday. He could buy the ticket in the morning after exchanging the numbers. He would soon have a large sum of money, and the source of the money was entirely legitimate, avoiding any trouble.

With excitement, he chose to exchange. A strong light shone down, and instantly, a set of deeply memorable double-color ball winning numbers appeared in his mind, and the numbers were easy to remember.

After completing the exchange, he immediately opened the small door, stepped onto the familiar small boat, and started rowing in the waterway. This time, his physical condition was much better than the previous week, earning him 10 points and allowing him to row for about 15 more minutes before leaving the dream.

After waking up from the dream, the winning numbers were still deeply imprinted in his mind. To be safe, he wrote them down on a piece of paper.

He was very excited, thinking about what he would do with the money. The thought of becoming a millionaire made him grin foolishly, just like those who suddenly won the lottery.

Unable to sleep, Wang Bo got up, turned on his computer, and went online. After checking the group messages for a while, he received a message from Liu Yan: "Why are you online now? Do you still have the energy to perform tomorrow?"

Wang Bo checked the time, it was only a little past ten, and replied: "Aren't you up too? What are you doing?"

Liu Yan replied: "Watching a TV series, but I'll go to sleep after this episode."

Wang Bo asked: "You watch TV series every weekend, what are you watching?"

Liu Yan said: "I watch English dramas without subtitles to improve my listening."

Wang Bo admired: "Oh, so you're both entertaining and studying."

Liu Yan asked: "Why are you online so late?"

Wang Bo said: "I already slept for a while, I'm not sleepy, so I'm online to check messages."

Liu Yan said: "If you're not sleepy, why not do your homework? You've been so busy these past few days, have you finished your homework?"

Wang Bo said: "To be honest, I've actually finished it."

Most of the homework this week was math and English. For the current Wang Bo, although the amount was large, it was quick to complete and didn't require much brainpower.

Liu Yan sent an exaggerated expression and then stopped. Wang Bo guessed she was focused on her show again, so he didn't respond and continued to check the group messages.

Seeing the group discussing recent football matches, Wang Bo learned that the school's football team had lost a game. The opponent was a team from Lushan District. Their class's tall guy, Lu Guanghe, the main center-back of the football team, was sent off with a red card after less than half a game, and the team was awarded a penalty. The final score was 1:2.

Lu Guanghe cursed the referee in the group, calling him a moron and a blind man, saying he couldn't even see the opponent's forward faking a fall. After a few words, he was given a red card, not only causing the team to lose but also being banned from the next game.

The school team was participating in the Haizhong City High School Football Spring League, with twelve high school teams competing. There was a match every week, and the league was a single round-robin. The spring league results were added to the autumn league results from last year to determine the annual champion, who would represent Haizhong City in the national high school sports meet held in the capital every summer.

The spring league had already gone through six rounds, and Guanglin High School had four wins, one draw, and one loss, ranking third in the points table. Last year's autumn league saw Guanglin High School finish second, just one point behind the top-ranked Fushui High School. Before the spring league started, there was a chance for Guanglin High School to overtake, but after six rounds, Fushui High School was leading with a perfect record, and Guanglin High School had fallen six points behind, leaving only a theoretical chance of winning the title.

No wonder Lu Guanghe, the main player of the school team, was so furious. Last summer, Guanglin High School represented Haizhong City in the national high school sports meet, but at that time, Lu Guanghe was just a substitute and didn't play a single minute. His dream was to go to the capital again this year for the grand event.

The football enthusiasts in the group were discussing this enthusiastically, analyzing the team's composition and strength. However, Wang Bo felt they weren't hitting the key points.

He had watched the team's training and matches and believed the problem wasn't with the forwards or the defenders but with the midfield. The two midfielders, standing parallel, had poor control over the game, neither attacking nor defending effectively.

This was also related to the team's tactics, which mainly focused on breaking through the wings and crossing the ball. The midfielders were only responsible for passing and mostly wandered around the field, barely participating in the attack.

He thought that if the formation were changed, with a dedicated defensive midfielder and an attacking midfielder, the team's performance might improve significantly.
