At the dinner table.
"Wuya, why do you look so gloomy?" Wang Tian noticed that Wuya was just eating with her head down, not speaking. She used to be very talkative, constantly telling her brother about the fun things at school while they ate, so he asked.
"Nothing." She continued to eat with her head down.
"Wuya, tomorrow is your birthday. Whatever gift you want, I'll buy it for you." Wang Tian said, trying to cheer her up.
"Brother, you remember my birthday!?" Wuya looked up, her eyes full of surprise.
"Of course. You're my only family. If I don't remember your birthday, who will?" Wang Tian patted her head affectionately.
"What gift do you really want? I'll get it for you." Wuya asked, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Of course, I, as your brother, will keep my word." Wang Tian patted his chest. He had planned to give her the new silk dress and leather boots in the package as a birthday gift, but if she had other requests, he would also agree.
"Alright, then be my boyfriend for a day tomorrow." Wuya said.
"Beep"
Temporary Task: Be the temporary boyfriend of female NPC Wuya. Accept? Success: NPC's favorability +5. Refusal or failure: No penalty.
"Why is it always this? Wuya, can you change your request?" Wang Tian said dejectedly.
"Hmph! I knew you wouldn't agree." Wuya lowered her head and ignored him.
Seeing her reaction, Wang Tian felt a bit heartache; he hadn't seen her smile in a long time.
"Wuya, tell me why you have this request?" Wang Tian softened his tone.
"That Liu Yi in our class is so annoying. She says I stole her boyfriend and wants to find people to beat me up..." Wuya said.
"What's the real story?" Wang Tian felt the situation was not simple. Anyone who dared to bully his sister was asking for death! His sister was his Achilles' heel.
"Her boyfriend is called He Mingwei, he's on the school soccer team at No. 16 High School, and he's also the son of the deputy secretary. He came to our class to find Liu Yi and asked me for my phone number. I didn't give it to him. Liu Yi saw it and said I was stealing her boyfriend..." Wuya said.
"Anyone who dares to bully my sister is asking for death!" Wang Tian clenched his fists. Such things had happened before. When Wuya was in elementary school, a delinquent student bullied her. Wang Tian, upon learning this, took a steel pipe and broke two of the delinquent's ribs.
The police eventually got involved, but since Wang Tian was still a minor, they just gave him a lecture and let him go. Because Wang Tian had no parents or other relatives, he didn't even have to pay for medical expenses.
"Brother, don't fight. I told them I have a boyfriend who is ten times more handsome than He Mingwei, and I don't even look at someone like him. If you come to be my boyfriend tomorrow, they won't say anything." Wuya said.
"Alright, I agree. I'll come to No. 16 High School to pick you up at noon." Wang Tian said, feeling he should stand up for his sister.
"Thank you, brother." Wuya's frown disappeared, and she became lively and cute again.
Opening the task list, Wang Tian accepted the temporary task.
The next day, Wang Tian went to his master to practice Xingyi Quan as usual.
...
In the classroom of Class 1, Grade 3 at No. 16 High School.
The first class was over.
Wuya and a few girls were chatting at their desks.
"I have some news to tell you all. My boyfriend is coming to pick me up this morning." Wuya proudly announced.
"Your boyfriend? The one you said is ten times more handsome than He Mingwei?" a girl asked.
"Of course. When you see him after school, you'll know I'm not lying." Wuya said, her head held high, her long hair cascading down her back.
"Who would believe you? Everyone knows He Mingwei is the school heartthrob. Ten times more handsome? Even Korean stars can't claim that." Another girl with glasses said.
"Pfft! Those effeminate Korean stars? My boyfriend is way more manly." Wuya sneered at the pretentious Korean stars.
"Are you just lying?"
"You'll see soon enough."
"Quick, Liu Yi is coming." A girl said timidly.
Liu Yi was the bully of Class 1, Grade 3. She liked to hang out with some delinquents from outside school and bullied others in class, acting like the 'big sister.'
She was also quite pretty and had some fame in school, but she was a bit jealous of Wuya, who was even more beautiful.
"We're afraid of her, but I'm not." Wuya said.
"Hey, you said your boyfriend is ten times more handsome than mine? Is there such a person in the world? I bet you're just trying to make me let my guard down so you can steal my boyfriend." Liu Yi walked over, mocking her.
"Hah! He Mingwei is a treasure to you, but in my eyes, he's not even worthy to tie my boyfriend's shoes!" Wuya said coldly. He Mingwei was already dating Liu Yi but still asked for her phone number, thinking that being handsome gave him the right to do whatever he wanted. Wuya hated such people the most.
Even if he wasn't like that, Wuya still looked down on him. In her heart, no one could compare to her brother, Wang Tian.
"Alright, if no one comes to pick you up at noon, it means you were just trying to steal my boyfriend. You'll see what happens then!" Liu Yi said menacingly and walked away.
"Who's afraid of you?" Wuya said to her back.
Seeing Liu Yi leave, a few girls came over.
"Wuya, be careful. If your 'boyfriend' doesn't come, she'll definitely call people to beat you up. I heard she had a few girls corner and beat someone in the toilet last time, and they had to be hospitalized." One girl said.
"He will come." Wuya clenched her small fists. She was a bit afraid of Liu Yi's viciousness and thought: Brother, you must come.
...
***
Around 11 o'clock, Wang Tian said goodbye to Li Gang early.
No. 16 High School was quite far, so he needed to prepare in advance.
On the way, he thought that since he had accepted this task, he had to do it well and not let his sister be looked down upon. He also needed to intimidate them and give them a warning.
His sister was such a beautiful girl; her boyfriend should at least have a car, and he wanted one too.
Last year, Wang Tian had used his summer vacation to learn driving and had already obtained a driver's license. He didn't get it for fun but to work as a driver.
With the idea of buying a car, Wang Tian opened the Yuanbao Mall and looked at the transportation section.
Ordinary car: 1 Yuanbao, a Beijing Hyundai. This car was too old-fashioned and didn't match his sister. Lamborghini: 5 Yuanbao? This car could be used to show off, but in the system's eyes, it was just a tool for showing off, not worth the price, and buying it would be a waste of Yuanbao.
So he carefully looked at the next car.
Blue Moon War Car (20 Yuanbao): A basic war car from the Blue Moon planet, with some practical functions not found in Earth's cars.
I'll buy this one. When buying things, one shouldn't buy luxury items. Luxury items only satisfy some people's vanity. Practicality is best, and this war car from the Blue Moon planet is surely much more advanced than Earth's cars and won't be embarrassing.
Wang Tian clicked the icon.
Blue Moon War Car, purchase cost: 20 Yuanbao. Confirm?
Confirm.
"Beep, congratulations, player has obtained the Blue Moon War Car and a user manual, which has been automatically placed in the player's inventory."
Wang Tian took out the Blue Moon War Car.
With a thought, a car appeared beside Wang Tian. Li Gang's house was in the suburbs, and there were few people around, so no NPCs saw it.
Wow! So beautiful!
Seeing the car, Wang Tian couldn't help but exclaim. Although he didn't know much about luxury cars, he was sure that this Blue Moon War Car was incomparable to any existing luxury car on Earth.
The streamlined body was light blue, with a crescent moon emblem at the front. Anyone, even those who didn't know much about cars, would immediately think of the word 'noble.'
Wang Tian had seen Lamborghinis in magazines before, but after seeing this Blue Moon War Car, the Lamborghini seemed like a country bumpkin in comparison.
Although the Blue Moon War Car was called a war car, its body had no special features. On the contrary, it was very simple, designed to minimize air resistance.
Moreover, the car had no exhaust pipe, indicating that it didn't use oil as fuel. It also had no spare tire, showing that the car was so durable that a spare tire was unnecessary.
Wang Tian prepared to test it out. As he walked to the car door to open it, the door automatically slid open, revealing a human-sensing function.
He got in, and the first thing he noticed about the seat was how comfortable it was, providing maximum comfort for the driver. The seat could change shape according to the driver's movements. Looking at the dashboard, there was only one gauge, the speedometer. Wang Tian saw the maximum number, which was 10,000. This meant the car's maximum speed was 10,000 km/h! Wang Tian was shocked.
This was definitely supersonic!
Next to the gauge were a few slightly raised buttons, one of which was shaped like a sports car. Out of curiosity, Wang Tian pressed it.
"Vroom~"
A faint metallic sound, and the car's roof changed. The roof split in the middle and retracted towards the rear and front of the car. Then a piece of tempered glass extended from the front, transforming the car into a sports car!
What a great thing!
Worth every Yuanbao from the Yuanbao Mall.
Wang Tian restored the Blue Moon War Car to its sedan form, pressed a button, and the car started. He didn't dare to drive too fast, setting the speed to normal. If he drove too fast, the city's electronic eyes would catch him, and he would be penalized. The speedometer needle of the normally driving Blue Moon War Car stayed at the lowest point.
