"Boss Yao, Yaoxing, are you okay? Did you hit anything?" Xiao Baicai looked at Wen Xingyao, who was scratched by her bicycle and was holding onto a tree nearby with a slightly frown, and swallowed nervously.
She felt that her luck was extremely bad today. Not only could she not learn how to ride a bike, but she also accidentally bumped into someone, who was a well-known big spender in the game.
At that moment, she almost had the illusion that she was using her broken little car to hit a wealthy man who got out of a luxurious customized limited edition car in the universe in real life. That man was a precious person, and maybe the money she earned in most of her life would not be enough to compensate for a small scratch on his body.
Fortunately, this is only in the game, and if compensation is really required, it won’t cost too much. Xiao Baicai secretly rejoiced.
"It's okay." Wen Xingyao glanced at the tear on the hem of his clothes, then looked at the little girl standing in front of him with a guilty face and tears in her eyes. He had no intention of causing trouble for her. "I dodged when you bumped into me, so I didn't get hurt at all. Don't worry."
"But...but, I seem to have damaged your clothes, so how about I compensate you with one?" Xiao Baicai was happy that the boss did not argue with her, but she also noticed that the boss just looked at the hem of the clothes, so she actively suggested.
Unfortunately, Wen Xingyao still refused: "No, you don't have to pay for it. It was my own fault that I didn't pay attention and walked into the place where you were practicing. You didn't need to be frightened."
The boss is such a nice guy, he is still so gentle to comfort me at this time, he deserves to be so rich! Xiao Baicai thought dizzily, and nodded in accordance with Wen Xingyao's meaning unconsciously. When she came to her senses, she saw Wen Xingyao gestured to her and was about to leave.
Xiao Baicai suddenly had a brain twitch, and she didn't know what she was thinking at the time. She grabbed Wen Xingyao's arm and proposed another way to compensate: "Boss, I feel embarrassed if you leave like this. How about I lend you my bicycle to play with? It's of good quality and it hasn't deformed even after falling several times!"
After she finished speaking, whether it was her and Wen Xingyao, or her little sister Hong Feng who rushed over to check the situation, or even the other players around who were practicing cycling, they were all stunned.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Xiao Baicai's brain finally returned to a conscious state. He remembered what he had said to Wen Xingyao, and instantly put on a mask of pain.
Ah! What on earth did she just say? How could she make such a suggestion? Was she trying to pass on the source of evil to someone else? Right? Right? She had studied for a long time but still couldn't learn it. What if the boss couldn't learn it either? Wouldn't she destroy the boss's image of being omnipotent, majestic and tall in front of everyone? This was too stupid!
The players were also whispering to each other, saying what they thought were secrets.
"Wow, why didn't I think of this method? How can we be the only ones to experience such a sin? I'm going to call my friends and ask them to come and feel the fear of being dominated by a bicycle!"
"Hahaha! The thing I feared the most really happened. When I was practicing just now, I was always worried that someone would suddenly jump out in front of me and get hit by me. And it really happened. But what I never expected was that this person turned out to be the demon star boss. Isn't this too accurate?"
"Where are the instant noodles? I think this classic scene should be recorded with a camera!"
"Puhu, that girl really made me laugh to death. She couldn't learn it herself, but she wanted to drag the boss into it. How did she come up with this idea? Poor boss! Poor boss!"
"Am I the only one who is curious whether the big guy can learn to ride a bicycle? If he really can, I will definitely go up to him and ask him to be my teacher, woooooo!"
Wen Xingyao heard some of the conversations of the onlookers, but he was not too upset. He relied on his ordinary face in the game, and no one could recognize who he was. He went out for the "bicycle" item, and after Xiao Baicai brought it up, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Is it okay?" he asked.
"Yes! Of course you can!" Xiao Baicai, who thought she was about to die socially, seemed to have found a rope that could save her life. She seized the opportunity, picked up the car that had fallen to the ground and stuffed it into Wen Xingyao's hands. Then she pulled Hong Feng, who was still in a daze, to the side and gave Wen Xingyao an encouraging smile.
"Boss Yaoxing, this bicycle is temporarily handed over to you. You can play with it as long as you want!"
Listen, they even use the word "play", it seems that they no longer regard it as a normal means of transportation.
"Thank you." Wen Xingyao thanked with a faint smile.
Recalling the actions of Xiaobaicai that he saw before the "car accident", he thoughtfully raised his foot and stepped over.
The bicycle was a "28" model, which was generally quite high. In order to make it easier to get on the bicycle, Xiao Baicai actually tilted the bicycle slightly to make it shorter so that she could sit on it smoothly. But such a bicycle seemed a little insignificant in front of the tall and long-legged Wen Xingyao.
After lifting up the straight leg, it made an arc from the back of the car and crossed steadily to the other side. Then, he stepped on the pedal on that side and sat on the triangular cushion. In this way, the other foot still had enough strength to be placed on the flat ground to fix the posture.
Xiao Baicai: “…”
Other bike owners: “…”
Hmm... Can this action of getting on the car be so cool? Why does it look so awkward and clumsy when it happens to them?
Just as they were thinking about this, a clear and crisp sound of "ding-ling-ding-ling" suddenly came from where Wen Xingyao was. The onlookers looked closely and found that his hand was turning a small thin piece extending from a round metal product on the handlebar. With each turn, a clear and pleasant sound came out, attracting more people to crane their necks to look over.
Bicycle owners: !!!
My goodness, they have been practicing here for so long, and they didn't realize that the thing can actually make a sound? How blind are they?
They suddenly had a vague premonition in their hearts that it was fate that made the Demon Star Boss appear at the village gate that afternoon. Although the timing of their meeting was not wonderful, perhaps the result would be good?
After playing with the bell for a while, Wen Xingyao finally decided to try it out himself. He held the handlebars with both hands and first stepped down on the pedal under his left foot. The two thin tires were driven by the chain and rolled forward for a distance.
As the bicycle started, he placed his right foot on the right pedal, and when the pedal reached the highest point, he slowly pressed it forward, and the bike continued to move forward.
At first, his movements were like those of most novices, he was very unskilled and rode crookedly, as if he would fall to the side at any moment. The spectators around him were all worried for Wen Xingyao and did not dare to make a sound, fearing that their sudden noise would cause the big guys to follow in their footsteps.
There are also many people who secretly hope that the boss will suddenly stop and announce that they have failed in their studies. This will give them some psychological comfort.
But what they didn't expect was that although Wen Xingyao didn't ride fast, he was getting better and better. The feeling of instability was gone, and the speed of the bicycle gradually increased. He even learned to freely adjust the direction of travel, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, and sometimes to an "S" shape, so smooth. Finally, he made a 180-degree turn and rode back in the direction they were.
When he was about to reach the starting point, he even released one of his hands from the handlebars and demonstrated one-handed riding to everyone.
The players' pupils trembled and they all exclaimed in surprise as if they had never seen anything like this before.
“You’ve learned it already? Is riding a bicycle so easy? I suddenly feel like I can do it again…”
"Wake up, and recall your previous miserable situation. Easy times belong to the gods. This is not easy for us at all!"
"How dare you, big brother, to ride a bike with one hand! Once he gets more skilled, he won't be able to ride a bike without hands, right..."
"The brain says I got it, and the hands and feet say fuck you!"
"I'm a failure in learning, I'm a failure in learning, I'm really a failure in learning!"
"...Another crazy one, carry him away."
While the players were wildly doubting their lives, Wen Xingyao had already gotten off the bike and returned the bicycle to Xiao Baicai.
"Thank you for your car. I've used it. You can take it."
"Boss! Boss, how did you learn so fast!" Xiao Baicai almost wanted to hug his thighs. She walked up to him and asked in a slightly flattering manner, "Boss Yaoxing, how did you learn? Is there any trick to riding a bicycle? If possible, can you tell me? I have been studying for a long time and still can't master it..."
Wen Xingyao wanted to say, "Isn't this something anyone can do?", but seeing the other person's eager eyes, he swallowed the words back. After thinking for a while, he came up with a trick that he didn't think was a trick: "Maybe you need to keep your balance first? If possible, try asking your friends to help you from behind and ride slowly. Once you get used to the feeling of riding a bike, you should be able to learn it."
After all, his true form is a cat, so he was quite good at maintaining balance, and it didn't take him long to master this technique.
After hearing what Wen Xingyao said, Xiao Baicai fell into deep thought and didn't even notice when Wen Xingyao left.
By the time she had figured out what to do, the other players who had overheard their conversation had already started practicing according to what Wen Xingyao had said.
“Hurry, hurry, Xiao A, you help me from behind first, and when I finish riding a circle and come back, we’ll switch and I’ll support you!”
"Okay, Brother B, wait for me for a moment. I'll put my car away first~"
"Sister C, Sister C, let's hurry up, or the good spots will be taken up!"
Xiaobaicai and Hongfeng looked at each other.
"Sister, do you want to learn how to ride a bike?"
"I understand. Let's go now!"
This group of miserable players in the early stage were caught up in the full swing of cycling practice. As time passed, more and more players came to the village entrance. Some of them were invited by the bicycle owners, but most of them knew that someone was practicing cycling here, and they came to watch the fun in groups of three or five after finishing their work.
Maybe you can find one or two people you know among these people, and then you can shamelessly go up and ask for a few rides!
The village entrance was very busy for the whole afternoon.
Hard work pays off. When it got dark, a loud roar was finally heard from the crowd: "Haha! I finally learned how to ride a bicycle. I can ride a full circle by myself without anyone's help!"
After this person, several others said they had mastered the trick of riding a bike. After riding a few laps in front of everyone, they put the bike away and went back to rest. Among them were Xiao Baicai and her little sister Hongfeng.
These people have a relatively good sense of balance, and it is only a matter of time before they learn how to balance. However, there is a small group of people who are born with a poor sense of balance. No matter how hard they practice or how hard they try to learn, without the help of others, their bikes will fall to the ground and they will never be able to learn.
In the end, even the people who were helping them couldn't stand it anymore and cautiously suggested to them, why not just stop here today and continue practicing tomorrow?
It was already very late at this time. Learning to ride a bicycle took an entire afternoon and half a night, which was indeed a long time. The players who had not learned yet agreed to this arrangement with sad faces.
They have given up on continuing to practice and feel that they will never learn.
However, nothing is absolute, and the situation took a turn for the better early the next morning.
A player came to the village gate early in the morning to set up a stall. He looked around from time to time. When he saw a familiar face sighing, his eyes lit up and he ran up to him excitedly and asked, "Hey, big brother, you are here to practice riding a bicycle, right? I have a kind of 'balance training wheel' installed on the rear tire of the bicycle. I guarantee you will learn to ride a bicycle in minutes!"
The player who was being held back was a little impatient at first, but when he heard this, hope instantly rose up. He held the other player's hand as if he had seen a savior, and said anxiously: "Good brother, you are really my good brother, where are the training wheels, take me to see!"
No matter whether he knows this player now or not, as long as he can help him learn to ride a bike, they will be good half-brothers in the future!
