"Ding! Host has a side quest!"
Just as I returned from Sister Han's pastry shop that day, I heard a long-lost voice ringing in my mind.
The sound of 629 when it is in the system is different from the sound of it after it comes out and transforms into the shape of Hanmei.
Lin Xue felt that she hadn't heard the system's voice for a long time.
"What kind of side quest is it? Tell me about it."
She has now moved out of Hanmei's clothing store and renovated the third floor where she used to live, now selling high-end clothes.
"Sun Jiake, a future aerospace scientist, is currently being bullied by a group of troublemakers from his school at an underground dance hall!"
"The side quest requires the host to go to the underground dance hall, rescue Sun Jiake from the bad kids, and safely send him home!"
Hearing that the task was so simple, Lin Xue immediately accepted it.
After making some preparations, they quickly arrived at the underground dance hall and found Sun Jiake, who was surrounded by several children in a corner.
"What do you want? Why did you bring me to a place like this?"
"Get out of my way, I want to go home!"
Surrounded by seven or eight teenagers, Sun Jiake looked at them with a mixture of anxiety and helplessness.
"You ask us why we brought you here? How dare you ask such a question?"
"It's all your fault! Why are your grades so good? The teacher always uses you as an example so we can all learn from you!"
"Who do you think you are, a bastard without a father!"
A boy with a buzz cut walked out of the crowd. He looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his tone of voice and movements were just like those of a street thug.
"Isn't it our duty to study hard? Our parents don't spend money so we can sleep all day at school!"
Although Sun Jiake was terrified, he still argued his case.
"Who says this is expected? Aside from poor peasants like you, not everyone needs to put in the effort and study hard!"
Do you know who my father is?
“My dad is a senior technician at Chang’an Machinery Factory. Our family’s monthly income is probably more than what poor people like you can earn in a year!”
The children seemed to enjoy the feeling of being hunted. When they saw Sun Jiake's face gradually turn pale and his eyes become panicked, they showed a smug look on their faces.
"That's right, it's only you peasants who need to study hard, otherwise you'll never be able to turn your lives around!"
"Which one of us here is poor? Even if we do nothing, we don't have to worry about going hungry!"
"Our family is clearly more capable, but the teacher always praises you. Today, we're going to cripple your hands and see how you'll study after that!"
Another underachiever in the crowd couldn't help but step forward, looking coldly at Sun Jiake.
The other children seemed to be stirred up as well, and they all started rubbing their hands together, as if they were about to make a move.
"Beat him! Beat him to death, you jinx! We shouldn't go easy on him, this cancer that brings death to fathers!"
Who says children don't have malice? These teenagers in front of us are currently radiating immense malice towards someone weaker than themselves.
All that malice eventually materialized, coalescing in their fists, and was swung at their classmates.
"Trash should stay in the trash can. Why is it jumping around like this?"
Just then, Lin Xue appeared.
She raised her hand and grabbed several children who were about to hit Sun Jiake's face, pulling them by the back of their necks and throwing them backward.
Soon the children were thrown into a pile, each one groaning and struggling to get up.
"Kid, are you alright?"
Lin Xue glanced at Sun Jiake, who was squatting on the ground holding his head, and then at the boys who had finally managed to get up and were glaring at her angrily.
"So you're bullying people because of your power?"
"Are you guys rich? How about we have a competition to see who's richer?"
"I'll break your arms and legs one by one, and then I'll give your parents some money. Let's see if they'll still treat you the same way as before!"
Lin Xue casually grabbed a broom from the side, kicked off the broom head, leaving only a stick more than a meter long.
He casually waved it around in his hand a few times, then with a sudden burst of force, he crushed the stick head into powder.
"ah!"
"You've got some tough guys, brothers, run!"
Seeing that Lin Xue had easily crushed a stick, the children abandoned their intention to fight back and ran towards the exit of the underground dance hall, calling to each other.
"Thank you, sister!"
Only then did Lin Xue hear the voice coming from behind her.
"It's nothing, just a small favor!"
"How are you? Did they hit you?"
Lin Xue's gaze swept up and down Sun Jiake's body, finally settling on his thick, calloused fingers.
"Let's go, I'll take you home!"
This child clearly works hard; with such diligence, how can he still achieve such excellent grades? No wonder he'll become a great scientist in the future.
"No need, sister, I can go back by myself!"
When Lin Xue offered to take him home, Sun Jiake hesitated, as he didn't want anyone to know about his family situation.
"Let's go, my car is right outside!"
"Aren't you afraid those thugs will be staking out the area? If you fall into their hands again, you might not find someone as kind as me!"
After saying that, Lin Xue did not stay there to persuade her, but turned around and walked away.
Watching the receding figure in front of him, Sun Jiake thought for a moment, and finally followed after him.
Right next to the entrance, in front of the row of bicycles, there was a motorcycle parked there.
In this day and age, owning a motorcycle is something to be very proud of.
"Come on up!"
Lin Xue got on the motorcycle and gestured to Sun Jiake.
"Sister, your motorcycle is so cool! I hope I won't get it dirty looking like this?"
Sun Jiake's eyes were practically glued to the car. Who doesn't get dizzy looking at a car these days? Especially a teenager like Sun Jiake.
"Get in, the car won't get dirty, what are you afraid of!"
Lin Xue called out again, and only after confirming that the other person was seated did she drive off in one direction.
"Sister, how did you know we lived around here?"
As he looked at the road that was gradually becoming familiar, Sun Jiake's brain went blank for a second.
Is it strange that I know you?
Lin Xue kept an eye on pedestrians along the way, especially the innocent children, worried that they might suddenly dart out.
"I not only know you, I also know your mother!"
These words completely stunned Sun Jiake. Judging from his sister's clothes and appearance, she should be a wealthy person. Why would she know him and his mother?
