Chapter 272 Unknown Potential (2/2)
Hila was struck speechless. She shook her head and remembered.
Her personality was indifferent. She was a cold and proud person in her blood, so she did not like to accept friendliness; she did not like accepting pitiful help that felt like charity. However, once she owed a favor, she would never forget it. She was a doer, and she would not say too many words of appreciation. She only remembered the kindness she received when things seemed hopeless, waiting for the day when she could pay Han Xiao back.
After a period of silence, Hila asked the question she had been wanting to ask. ”Why did you save my sister?”
”Foresight, of course.” Han Xiao gave the mighty reason.
”So, what did you foresee?” Hila frowned.
Han Xiao bullsh*tted and said, ”I saw that your sister's power will save my life once in the future, do you believe that?”
”That would make sense.” Hila understood.
At this time, a small hand pulled his shirt. Han Xiao looked down and saw Aurora was looking up at him with a serious face.
”Uncle Zero, I will definitely save you.”
Aurora took what he said seriously.
Han Xiao pinched her face and laughed. ”Zero is in the past. Just call me Han Xiao.”
”Okay, Uncle Han.”
”You can use a younger name…”
”Understood, Uncle Han.”
Han Xiao rolled his eyes.
I still dislike kids!
…
The next day, Han Xiao built a wheelchair and gave it to Aurora.
”Real leather armrest and seat with stretch cotton inside, giving you comfort like your mother's embrace, and the best part is…” Han Xiao flipped open the anti-dust cloth and said, ”This wheelchair is powered by a foot pedal, but inside is a mini engine, and there is a gearshift beside the armrest. It can go up to 40 km per hour!”
”I just wanted a normal wheelchair…” Hila's eye corner twitched.
She had never heard of a wheelchair powered by a foot pedal, then what is the wheelchair even for!
40 km per hour? Are you hosting a wheelchair race‽ Are you crazy‽
”What kind of Mechanic am I if I didn't make any modifications?” Han Xiao picked his nose and glanced at Hila. Hila felt the look known as 'despise from a professional' from Han Xiao's eyes.
Aurora, however, quite liked the wheelchair; it was like getting a new toy. At this time, Frenzied Sword and the other three approached. Han Xiao called them over to play with Aurora and gave the four of them a pile of missions.
He was just worried about not having suitable missions to give them. He could not have all of them dance and sing like Frenzied Sword. It was better to make them play with a little girl.
The four players felt novel for these missions. The rewards were unbelievably high. They thought that this was some sort of hidden mission and did it with joy. Aurora connected with Maple Moon the best, and not long after, Bear Cub was on Aurora's legs with its belly facing up and rolling around, making Aurora laugh.
The scene was filled with warmth.
Hila's eyes became gentle. She stepped back to the side and watched her sister play with her new friends.
…
For many days, Aurora smiled brighter, and her health improved at an obvious rate.
Hila and Aurora settled down. The situation of the expedition war was getting better, and the arena in the sanctuary was also completed. Han Xiao immediately focused on important matters.
He had set two focus points for the things that he was going to do. One was to make early-stage preparations for leaving the planet, getting resources continuously.
Another was to improve the 'Players' Main City' plan, strengthening his impression for players and indirectly increasing his influence. The plans that he had for the pro league was a huge business opportunity in his eyes.
What these two focus points had in common was to gain benefit from the players.
”He he he…” Creepy laughter echoed in the closed room.
It has been so long!
