I Get Stronger When Called Up - Chapter 16
Fang Qimai turned around to see three people standing in front of him. The leader, a tall man with a buzz cut, was someone Fang Qimai recognised. His name was Lin Haojie, a student from the second class of the third year. He was the current captain of the school basketball team, and Fang Qimai had seen him on the court and heard about him. However, they had never met. He also knew that Lin Haojie was from the second generation, with a wealthy family. Fang Qimai wasn’t interested in the details of what his family did.
In fact, Lin Haojie’s father had founded the Lin Brewery, which had a considerable presence in Jiangcheng. Normally, Lin Haojie preferred to hang out with people like Jiang Zejian, and he was someone no one dared to provoke at school. Next to him were two disciples, one tall and one short.
Lin Haojie asked, “Bixue, why are you inviting this guy to eat? I’ve asked you so many times to let me take you out, but you never agree!”
Xiao Bixue didn’t want to answer, because that was a story between her and Fang Qimai; others didn’t need to know.
The short guy interjected, “Oh, so you think you can get Madam Lin to treat you to a meal? Feeling confident, huh?”
Xiao Bixue was exceptionally beautiful, with pale skin, stunning features and long legs. Many boys at school were infatuated with her.
“Who is Madam Lin? Don’t talk nonsense!” Xiao Bixue replied angrily.
Lin Haojie smiled, “Oh, Miss Xiao has quite a temper.”
He suddenly shifted gears and shouted at Fang Qimai, “Hey you, what class are you from?”
“None of your business!”
“Damn…”
“Confusion Value of Lin Haojie: +2”
“Are you tired of living?”
“No one dares to talk to Young Master Lin like that!”
Fang Qimai replied, “Then I’ll be the first.”
“You…”
“What about it?” Fang Qimai interrupted, “First tell me, have you finished eating?”
“We finished!”
“Did you eat a lot?”
“Not really…”
“No, you definitely ate too much!”
“You…”
“Confusion Value of Lin Haojie: +4”
“Confusion rating of Xu Rong: +3”
…
Lin Haojie seethed, “Kid, are you brave enough to tell me your name?”
“Listen,” Fang Qimai cleared his throat, “My name is Fang Qimai!”
“Fang Qimai, huh? Great! I guarantee you won’t survive at Second High School!”
[Ding! You have been called by the rich second generation Lin Haojie to unlock the character: Wealthy Father!]Wealthy Father?!
What kind of reward is this?
???
“My unlucky father has been dead for many years, so where did this Wealthy Father come from?”
Suddenly, Fang Qimai felt a shiver run down his spine.
“From Fang Qimai’s own Confusion Value, +10”
System, you must have made a mistake.
[This system is very strict and does not make mistakes.]
Then explain what is going on?
[The reward you receive is determined by the circumstances of the person who called your name. While there are many unexpected outcomes, there are absolutely no mistakes.]
This is quite bizarre.
Could it be that the system can resurrect the dead?
At that moment, Fang Qimai felt a cold breeze.
…
The short guy said, “You loser, our Young Master Lin’s father is the president of the Lin Brewery, and he comes to pick him up every day in a luxury car. Don’t even get me started – the watch on Young Master Lin’s wrist alone is worth more than your parents’ annual salary combined!
Another man added, “It doesn’t even cover a fraction of Young Master Lin’s pocket money!
Immediately, Lin Haojie felt a sense of superiority wash over him.
“Bixue, how about I treat you to dinner tonight? We can go out for steak or Japanese cuisine, whatever you like, I’ll follow your preference.”
“No need!”
Lin Haojie got angry, “I just heard this morning that you were involved with a guy, it must be this guy, right?”
He looked at Fang Qimai and continued, “How am I worse than him? You know how rich my family is! Besides, I’m the captain of the basketball team! Who is this boy? You invite him to dinner and refuse me?” “You’ve really hurt my feelings!”
“It doesn’t matter how much money your family has, who I invite to dinner is none of your business! Go away, I don’t want to see you!”
Lin Haojie angrily replied, “Fine! Xiao Bixue, you’ll regret this!”
He turned to Fang Qimai and said, “And you, Fang Qimai! I won’t forget you! I’ll find a way to kill you!”
If it weren’t for the school’s rules against fighting, Fang Qimai, who had mastered the thirty-six styles of grappling, could easily defeat the three of them in a heartbeat.
At the moment, Xiao Bixue was the biggest point of retaliation.
Fang Qimai took Xiao Bixue’s hand and said, “Let’s go to dinner.
“Damn!!!”
The three of them stormed out in anger.
At that moment, Xiao Bixue’s pale face turned red.
Fang Qimai released her hand and asked, “Are you okay?”
“Y-yes… I’m fine…” Quickly changing the subject, she said, “I’ll go see if our food is ready…”
“From Xiao Bixue, Confusion Value +15.”
…
The two of them didn’t say a word during the entire meal.
Xiao Bixue was still stuck in the earlier scene.
From her childhood until now, she had never touched a boy’s hand.
After being suddenly pulled by Fang Qimai, she was still nervous.
His hand was big and firm, giving her a feeling of security.
Fang Qimai didn’t speak because he was thinking about what this rich father’s reward might be.
…
After lunch, Xiao Bixue returned to the classroom to take a nap.
Just as Fang Qimai was about to go to the convenience store at the entrance to buy a bottle of water, there was a sudden roar of supercars. And not just one. There were at least ten of them!
The next thing I knew, a line of supercars had pulled up alongside. Aston Martin, Maserati, Lamborghini, Koenigsegg… even Ferrari and Rolls-Royce were present… They were strikingly stylish and drew everyone’s attention. Each of them could be considered a masterpiece of the road. In no time, a crowd of passers-by and shopkeepers gathered to watch and take pictures.
Fang Qimai took a sip of water and was still swallowing when he froze in astonishment. Men have an innate inability to resist sports cars, and to some extent, they all fantasise about owning one. Leading the pack was Rolls-Royce’s most expensive model, the Silver Ghost. The Silver Ghost was originally produced for the royalty of the Empire on which the sun never sets, making it a symbol of nobility.
With a history spanning over a hundred years, it has long since been out of production. Existing Silver Ghosts are priced at over 1.55 billion RMB. Its value is beyond what money can buy. Rather than just a car, it would be more accurate to describe it as a work of art. On closer inspection, the registration number of the first Silver Ghost is Jiang A-88880.
The second car, a Koenigsegg Agera, has the licence plate Jiang A-88881, and so on, with a series of licence plates starting with 66660. My goodness, can they really have consecutive numbers? Today has really opened my eyes…
At that moment, the drivers of the nine cars behind got out. To everyone’s surprise, these nine men, dressed in suits, with strong physiques and wearing sunglasses, turned out to be bald…
All nine of them surrounded the Silver Ghost, forming a circle. The driver of the Silver Ghost also got out; he was a middle-aged man, probably in his fifties. He looked very calm, probably acting as both butler and driver.
As he opened the car door, a middle-aged couple got out. The woman was quite attractive and looked very young with her stylish appearance. The man… though tall and handsome, was also bald.
The onlookers were curious as to what these remarkable individuals were up to. The butler said, “Sir, Madam, the Young Master is over there.
