Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Everyone: Xiao Bao, You Are Truly a Brave Child
"Xiao Bao, why aren't you at school today?" Lin Fan saw Xiao Bao coming to him early in the morning, holding a squirrel. He was curious; if there wasn't a holiday, why was he here? "Skipping class isn't good behavior."
Xiao Bao hugged the squirrel and said, "I didn't skip class! Our teacher is sick, so I went to the principal and suggested we should have a holiday. We can go back to class when the teacher gets better."
"I did this because I don't want the teacher to work too hard. If school continues, the teacher will definitely come to school even though they're sick."
While saying this, Xiao Bao's expression was full of concern for his teacher.
Lin Fan stroked Xiao Bao's head with satisfaction. "I knew our Xiao Bao was a thoughtful child. If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have thought of it."
"Of course! I'm Warm-hearted Xiao Bao. I'm very good at taking care of others." Xiao Bao raised his head proudly.
The only person who would believe Xiao Bao's nonsense was Lin Fan.
Anyone else would definitely think…
You little rascal, just say you don't want to go to school! You've made up all these stories, you're so sly.
Old Zhang said, "Our Xiao Bao is so good."
"Yes, you're right. Xiao Bao, you make me proud," Lin Fan said.
They praised him one after another.
Xiao Bao blushed slightly from their praise. At first, he didn't feel anything, but gradually, he felt a little embarrassed.
Actually… it wasn't like that.
But Xiao Bao didn't tell the truth. At the same time, he felt as if it were true. Maybe he hadn't thought of it before, but his true intention was to hope the teacher could rest well.
After figuring this out, Xiao Bao felt even better.
Arcade!
"Sigh!" The owner sat dejectedly at the entrance, looking longingly at the passersby. He desperately hoped someone would come and play in his shop.
Business had plummeted.
Many people had lost their love for arcade games. He even held a "Childhood Memories" event, hoping to rekindle the memories hidden deep within their hearts.
But unfortunately…
Memories my ass.
They all just came for the free food and drinks. A case of cola he had prepared was instantly snatched up by a group of kids. He originally thought that if he couldn't help adults relive their childhood fun, he could at least capture these kids and earn back their pocket money.
He had secretly increased the difficulty of the arcade machines.
As long as you dared to play, he guaranteed you'd be inserting another coin within minutes.
But he didn't expect…
These brats were so cunning!
He would never forget the look in their eyes after they happily finished the cola. It was a look of disdain.
At the same time, a sentence kept echoing in his mind:
"You kicked us out, so we won't play in your arcade!"
"Hmph!"
In the end, the group of kids patted their bellies and left contentedly.
He was so angry he could only stomp his feet.
Bored, he sat at the entrance, waiting for customers. He missed the wealthy boss; only he was the most loyal customer in the shop, and the only guest he treated like a god.
"Eh!"
Suddenly, the owner abruptly stood up, rubbing his eyes in disbelief. Then, his breathing became rapid, and he looked up at the sky. Heaven hadn't abandoned him!
He hurried over to greet them.
"Good morning, bosses!" He stood respectfully before them, displaying his most humble side.
"Mm." Xiao Bao was arrogant; his seemingly simple response flattered the owner. Only a sycophant could feel this way.
"Good morning!"
"Good morning!" Lin Fan and Old Zhang smiled amiably.
They liked polite people.
Just like this… owner.
"Please, come inside, please. I've already cleaned the shop thoroughly."
The owner hurriedly spoke as he ushered them inside.
He had no other intention.
He was just afraid that if he didn't do this, the bosses would leave.
He watched with joy as the bosses walked into the shop.
Then, he quickly busied himself, serving drinks, moving chairs, doing everything to make the bosses comfortable. He had to show his most enthusiastic side.
Of course, he noticed the squirrel in Xiao Bao's arms. It actually had two tails! He had really never seen such an animal before. On second thought, it was normal for the wealthy boss's pet to be a bit peculiar.
"Take good care of my pet."
"Don't worry, boss, I'll take care of him like he's my own father."
To please the wealthy boss, he had completely abandoned his dignity. If anyone saw this, they would definitely say he didn't even want his dignity for money. But he would definitely retort, "Even if you don't want your dignity, you may not earn money. Do you have the opportunity like me to earn money by not wanting dignity?"
The two-tailed squirrel was very satisfied with his current life.
Life in Changbai Mountain was quite plain. After coming to the city, chestnuts were no longer his favorite. His favorites were delicacies, seafood, and bird's nest. They tasted so good!
Soon, sounds of praise came.
"Wow, Lin Fan, you're so good! I can't beat you." Xiao Bao praised.
Lin Fan smiled. "Of course, I'm very good. But Xiao Bao, you're also very good."
Xiao Bao liked seeing Lin Fan happy.
He definitely wouldn't lose at the game; throwing the game was normal, just to make Lin Fan happy.
"I want to play too." Old Zhang watched for a while and decided to challenge Xiao Bao.
He found Xiao Bao's skills to be quite poor.
Lin Fan gave up his seat, letting Old Zhang and Xiao Bao duel.
Xiao Bao looked at Old Zhang, deciding to teach him a good lesson, to let him know how terrifying Xiao Bao was in the gaming world. Soon, the game started…
Old Zhang gripped the joystick with his left hand and tapped the buttons with his right, the sounds of clicking filling the air.
The general idea was…
A flurry of moves, fierce as a tiger, but a look at the score…
"Old Zhang, you still need to practice," Xiao Bao said.
Old Zhang stared at the screen in a daze, muttering to himself, "Impossible…"
Xiao Bao secretly laughed.
"Boss, have a drink." The arcade owner came over with drinks and humbly handed them to Xiao Bao. Then he asked, "Boss, do you need a massage? My technique is quite good."
Xiao Bao didn't even look at him and took out a card. "Swipe 50,000. The PIN is on the back."
The owner was ecstatic, but his expression remained unchanged. He took the card and obediently returned to the counter, tapping away without overcharging or undercharging a single cent.
The wealthy are domineering.
The wealthy are handsome.
He knew there was a reason why the wealthy could become wealthy.
"Squeak…"
Just at this moment, the two-tailed squirrel became agitated and rushed into Xiao Bao's arms, startling him. He didn't know what had happened and patted the squirrel's head, comforting it.
"What's wrong?"
At some point, a figure appeared behind Lin Fan. This mysterious person raised their hand with incredible speed, too fast for the naked eye to see, and grabbed the back of Lin Fan's head, slamming his face into the arcade machine.
A dull thud echoed.
Glass shards sprayed everywhere.
"Ah…" The arcade owner was stunned, then screamed exaggeratedly, like a woman. He didn't expect someone to be so violent.
He hadn't even offended them.
How could they hurt someone?
Lin Fan, whose head had been smashed into the arcade machine, slowly raised his head, shook it, and calmly patted his hair, brushing off the glass shards.
He knew someone had appeared behind him.
He also knew they had attacked.
At that moment, he was just wondering why they had hit him.
He kept thinking about this.
He looked up at the mysterious person.
The person's expression was serious, and a dangerous aura emanated from their cold face.
"Who are you?" Lin Fan asked.
Old Zhang said angrily, "That's not right! Why did you break the arcade machine? We were playing!"
"Waaah!"
Just then, Xiao Bao raised his hand and cried tearfully.
"Broken, broken, it hurts so much!"
Lin Fan looked at Xiao Bao and saw a thumb-sized glass shard stuck in the back of his hand, blood flowing freely.
Seeing this, his expression turned cold.
The mysterious person slowly opened their mouth, "You…"
Suddenly, the mysterious person's eyes widened, as if they were about to pop out. At some point, Lin Fan had punched them in the stomach. With a bang, the mysterious person flew backward.
"You despicable fellow!" Lin Fan was furious.
He instantly vanished from the spot, following the mysterious person's figure onto the street. The mysterious person still didn't understand what had just happened. Just as they were about to steady themselves…
Lin Fan appeared before them, raised his leg, and kicked the mysterious person into the sky.
The speed was extreme.
So fast that their figure couldn't be seen.
The mysterious person turned into a point of light and instantly disappeared into the sky.
For the mysterious person, the situation was dire. Their whole body was enveloped by a terrifying force. They wanted to stop, but they couldn't. The sound of the wind filled their ears.
They hadn't even said who they were.
They hadn't even told him why they had hit him.
They wanted to speak, but it was too late.
Gradually, they were blasted out of the planet's atmosphere.
Arcade
Lin Fan held Xiao Bao in his arms. "Let's go, let's hurry to the hospital."
"Yes, Xiao Bao is injured," Old Zhang said.
The arcade owner said, "I'll drive you there."
This was a chance to get close to the wealthy boss, an opportunity not to be missed. As for the broken arcade machine, what was that compared to the wealthy boss?
It definitely couldn't compare.
Not even a single hair could compare.
Huatian Hospital
"I'm okay," Xiao Bao said.
It hurt a little at first, and he was a little scared when he saw the blood, but later he found it wasn't very painful.
"Xiao Bao, you are truly brave," Lin Fan said.
Old Zhang said, "That's right. If it were me, I would definitely be yelling in pain. I didn't expect Xiao Bao to be so brave."
The arcade owner chimed in, "Yes, if it were me, I would definitely have fainted from the pain. I didn't expect him to be so brave at such a young age. He's really amazing."
For him, whether he flattered well or not depended on whether he could seize the opportunity.
He had seized the opportunity now.
