America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 28 New Bet, 0.5 cubic meters of storage space

"Drive your car or mine?"

Arriving at the parking lot near the school gate, Li Xiaoen tilted his head and asked, "I'm borrowing my uncle's Toyota Camry. It's quite old. Do you mind?"

"I'm not that precious."

Victoria glanced at Li Xiaoen, turned her head back, and finally looked straight ahead. "Your car is fine. Of course, if you want to drive mine, that's fine too."

"Maserati. I don't drive it often, so I don't know the specific model."

"It's still my car."

Although he was curious, Li Xiaoen gave up the idea of ​​exploring and led Victoria to a car that he had not touched for several days.

"Please, Your Highness."
Li Xiaoen took a quick step and opened the car door for Victoria.

Victoria was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, bent down and sat in the passenger seat, "Thank you."

Li Xiaoen smiled and nodded, then closed the car door, walked back to the driver's seat and sat down.

"It looks no different from my car."

Victoria muttered as she looked up and down at the situation inside the car.

"The price is there, there will always be some slight differences."

Li Xiaoen started the car and glanced sideways at Victoria. "Haven't you heard of Andersen's fairy tales?"

While driving to a Western restaurant about six kilometers away, Li Xiaoen talked and smiled.

"In order to verify the identity of a princess, the king decided to put a pea under her mattress and piled twenty layers of soft bedding on top. The next day, the princess claimed that she could not sleep because something in her bed made her very uncomfortable..."

"You know it's a story, a fairy tale!"

Victoria glared at Li Xiaoen coquettishly. "How could a real princess be so noble? It's all just a figment of the imagination of the pen-wielding literati in the streets and alleys. The more exaggerated the story, the more people buy it."

"Well, I agree with this."

Li Xiaoen nodded. Although Victoria objected, she finally responded to his question, and he felt much more relaxed.

He felt both curious and fond of such a "Princess", and really didn't want to ruin their friendly relationship.

The two chose a table by the window in the restaurant. Compared to Victoria who ate slowly and only ate a piece of steak and some salad, Li Xiaoen was not reserved. He swallowed two steaks and also ate a potato and a plate of salad. Victoria blinked her eyes non-stop.

When we drove back, it was already 7:30 in the evening. The sky was shrouded in darkness, and only a few street lights were lit around the parking lot.

"I will send you back."

Li Xiaoen looked up at the sky and made a suggestion. The two of them walked together as they passed the garden and headed towards another traditional dormitory building in the dormitory area.

Princeton University has a high green coverage rate. When viewed from the outside, the ancient Gothic buildings are scattered among a group of green plants, adding a sense of seclusion in the deep forest. In this regard, it is very consistent with the fact that the university does not set up high-profit majors such as medicine and finance.

Li Xiaoen looked at the neatly planted flowers and plants on the roadside and couldn't help but take a deep breath. A feeling of leisure and comfort came over him.

Then, he noticed that the ten-centimeter-high wall separating the lawn and the walkway next to him flashed two bright green lights. Just when he thought he was dazzled, a few subtitles popped up in front of him.

[Gambling Agreement]

From here, follow the fence along the edge of the lawn and walk to the dormitory at the end without falling!

[Successful Gambling Reward: 0.5 cubic meters of storage space x 1]

[0.5 cubic storage space: After use, a 0.5 cubic storage space can be created in the void, and the host can store or take out any inanimate objects at any time.]

[Note: The storage or removal of items must be done by the host himself]

【Whether to accept? 】

Accept! Li Xiaoen was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously chose to accept.

"what happened to you?"

Next to her, Victoria noticed that something was wrong with Li Xiaoen.

"nothing."

Li Xiaoen shook his head. "Let's go. Your dormitory is just in front, right?"

These bets can be made early or late. It’s not too late to send Victoria back first and then come back to complete the challenge.

Li Xiaoen had just made a decision in his mind, but a few red warnings popped up in the subtitles in front of him at the right time.

[Warning: If the host leaves the challenge range, it will be regarded as giving up the bet challenge]

"..."

"What's wrong with you? Why did you stop?"

Li Xiaoen suddenly stopped, and Victoria walked to the front and turned around in surprise and asked.

"Um……"

Li Xiaoen felt helpless. He slowly stood on the low wall beside the grass and pointed to the end of the lawn to Victoria. "Do you believe I can walk to the end like this?"

Victoria: “…”

"You've been acting weird since a while ago. Are you just dwelling on this boring and childish little game?"

Victoria narrowed her eyes in disbelief.

Li Xiaoen was also picking his feet in embarrassment, but the reward for this bet really made him excited, even if he showed such a childish side in front of Victoria.

Li Xiaoen still clearly remembers his anticipation for this virtual space when he was a child, but he finds it difficult to express it in words.

Whenever he went to a banquet with his parents, he would always drink a large can of soda beforehand, but he would always feel full after eating just a little. Afterwards, he would quickly become hungry and always feel regretful. At that time, he was looking forward to having such a small space so that he could quietly collect a lot of delicious food and take it home to eat slowly.

When I was a child, I was very naive and could never imagine that such a virtual space, even if it was only a small 0.5 cubic meters, would be a priceless superpower.

Nowadays, although he doesn't plan to do anything earth-shattering, it is still of great help in daily life.

"You don't believe it, do you?"

Since we are here, we might as well make the best of it. Li Xiaoen looked at Victoria with a smile and said, "Then just stand aside and watch my performance."

After saying that, Li Xiaoenping raised his hands, took one step at a time, and walked down the low wall that was only half the width of his feet.

Are you so serious?
Victoria followed Li Xiaoen's slow pace as he walked down the aisle. She looked at Li Xiaoen's cautious movements and felt a little amused for a moment.

Boy, this boy who was admitted to Princeton University on his own merit, is very good at basketball, and has a handsome appearance and a free and easy temperament, how could he be so childish?
She had more or less seen some interesting stories online about boys who retained their childlike innocence no matter how old they were, and now it was happening right in front of her.

Victoria couldn't help but sneer at Li Xiaoen, who was so cautious, as if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire just below the low wall.

She walked closer and said slowly, "Sean..."

"Um……"

Li Xiaoen didn't dare to breathe at this moment. He glanced at Victoria and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ha ha……"

Victoria didn't answer, but raised her hand, grabbed one of Li Xiaoen's arms that was shaking up and down, and pretended to push him down.

"what--"
