Chapter 3

As the first selectable world, despite being defined as a slice-of-life world, it is suitable for experiencing the thrill of crossing over, but it still provides a wealth of information.

For example, the timeline. In *The Versatile Star*, the timeline is randomly set within a period of about two and a half years.

Why is this so?

No one knows, but Qin Moyu understands that this is likely because the original timeline of the movie *The Versatile Star* is only about two and a half years long.

In addition to the random location, the timeline is also random.

Naturally, Qin Moyu has considered that if the timeline is later, he can follow the protagonist's method and have Professor Jiang Si help him transform into a cyborg.

However, if the timeline is too early, he can only try to get the Americans to help him with the transformation.

After all, Professor Jiang Si's super chip won't be invented for another two years, and he only has two months to stay, so he can't wait.

The driver who caused the car accident was taken away by the ambulance, and Qin Moyu and Li Yifei sat in a new car, heading towards their son Li Zexing's mansion.

On the way, Li Yifei, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness, tightly gripped his hands and muttered to himself.

"It's been two years since I last saw that brat. I wonder how he's doing? Has he gotten fatter or thinner?"

"I've been busy practicing qigong and running my business around the world. I wonder if that brat will blame me for not being a good father?"

"I can only try to compensate him materially as much as possible!"

...

Sitting next to Li Yifei, listening to his constant muttering, Qin Moyu glanced at him in surprise.

It seems that Li Yifei, despite being a reluctant father, has deep feelings for his son Li Zexing!

Then why, in the original story, when Li Zexing was blown to pieces and lived a destitute life with his biological father for two years, did he never show up?

Is it because of deep love and deep resentment? Or because he couldn't bear to see him and Ada's father-son bond?

Or is there another reason?

It seems that after the protagonist's background was revealed in the original story, Li Yifei also expressed his willingness to accept Li Zexing as his stepson and even gave him a large sum of money on the spot.

To go to such lengths, his feelings for Li Zexing, his stepson, are indeed quite deep.

Shaking his head, Qin Moyu temporarily put aside these doubts.

He can only stay in this world for two months, so he must find a way to make money now.

The Americans charge 60 million dollars for a single human transformation surgery, which is equivalent to nearly 500 million RMB in this era. In 1995, this is a astronomical figure.

"Anyway, my luck is still pretty good this time. I happened to meet Li Yifei, a major character from the original story and a super-rich tycoon, which gives me a glimmer of hope!" Qin Moyu thought to himself, his eyes glancing at Li Yifei beside him.

The original plan can be adjusted slightly.

"Mr. Li..." Qin Moyu began.

"Brother Qin, don't call me Mr. Li, that's too formal. Just call me Big Brother, and I'll call you Little Brother. We're almost at my son's mansion..." However, before Qin Moyu could finish, Li Yifei interrupted him, pointing to a white mansion not far away.

"Big Brother Li, be careful when you get home. According to my calculations, you might not avoid a blow to the head..." Thinking of the original plot, Qin Moyu pretended to calculate and warned Li Yifei.

"No problem, no problem. My qigong is quite advanced now; a blow to the head won't hurt me at all!" Li Yifei waved his hand, not taking it seriously.

As they chatted, the car stopped at the mansion.

Muttering to himself about why the door was closed in broad daylight, Li Yifei pushed the door open and walked in. Qin Moyu followed a few steps behind.

Whoosh!

Sure enough, as soon as Li Yifei pushed the door open and walked in, a whistling sound was heard.

Immediately, a metal baseball bat embedded itself in Li Yifei's head.

The dialogue between the father and son, as in the original story, did not involve Qin Moyu.

However, seeing Li Yifei's head take such a hit, Qin Moyu couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

"Unfortunately, with my disabled legs, I can only rely on this world's cyborg technology to recover. Otherwise, learning qigong might be a good choice!"

"Hey, Dad, who's this guy?" The father and son seemed to be getting along well on the surface, but then Li Zexing pointed at Qin Moyu and asked.

"Son, let me introduce you. This is a master I just met, Brother Qin Moyu..." Li Yifei introduced him.

"Master? Dad, why do you always believe in so-called masters? When will you grow up? They're just charlatans!" The roles seemed to be reversed, with Li Zexing earnestly trying to persuade his father.

"Hey, kid, if I'm your dad's brother, that makes me your uncle, right? Are you trying to take advantage of me?" Li Zexing said to Qin Moyu, not being very polite.

"I'd rather call him Uncle, but your dad won't let me!" Qin Moyu shrugged, acting indifferent.

Seeing Qin Moyu's reaction, Li Zexing's eyes darted around, then he extended his hand: "Hmph, if you want to be my uncle, you should give me a red envelope as a gift. Just so you know, I don't want money; my dad has plenty!"

"Sure! I can give you a reading!" Qin Moyu smiled, then seriously examined Li Zexing's palm and said, "From your fortune, you will encounter a disaster soon, possibly leading to bloodshed and danger to your life. You should be more careful..."

"Brother Qin, you say my son will face a disaster? Please find a way to avert it; money is not a problem!" Li Yifei's face changed, and he became anxious.

"Dad, don't believe him. Scammers always say you'll face a disaster to trick you out of money. I've seen this on TV too many times!" Li Zexing pouted, and Qin Moyu's reading seemed to reinforce his belief that Qin Moyu was a fraud.

"Looks like revealing future events won't make him believe me, so I'll have to talk about something that has already happened..." Qin Moyu thought to himself, seeing Li Zexing's expression.

Then, he pretended to calculate again and said, "Astar, if my calculations are correct, you've recently had a bit of a setback, like seeing something unbelievable!"

"This..."

Qin Moyu's words reminded Li Zexing of the floating eyes, running hands, and half-body he saw in Professor Jiang Si's laboratory last night.

"Also!"

At this point, Qin Moyu paused, his gaze shifting back to Li Yifei, and he dropped a bombshell.

"Big Brother Li, I don't think you and Astar are biologically related!"
