However, the reality is—

The mosquitoes and various flying insects in the garden almost made me tear down the balcony.

This is probably where the gap between reality and fantasy lies.

Since the space was expanded many times over, a visible and invisible boundary was also added around it. It's like seeing mountains as mountains and water as water. The scenery seen from the outside is completely different from what you see from the inside.

Then, he had Xiao Ben dig a pond here.

Xiao Se saw Xiao Ben lying by the pond, with sparks constantly erupting from his body.

Ultimately, the small business couldn't hold on.

"Ugh~ You look so pitiful."

"Isn't that a bit too cruel?" Athena frowned.

......

"Cough cough, it's nothing."

Seeing the somewhat excited crowd, Xiao Se awkwardly opened a gap and took out a set of equipment. He had prepared these things a few days ago, but he had been playing the game too much lately and completely forgot about them.

"Xiao Ben, this is for you."

Xiao Se placed these latest CPUs, graphics cards, and motherboards in front of Xiao Ben.

The laptop, which had been on its last legs, suddenly transformed. Newly purchased parts were instantly replaced, while some worn-out parts were quickly replaced.

"Master~"

Xiao Ben was slightly moved by Xiao Se's demeanor.

It turns out that the owner had already bought the parts for me. The owner still cared about me, and I had misunderstood the owner all along.

"Has it recovered?"

Xiao Se looked at Xiao Ben and asked.

"The functionality has doubled and it has been fully restored."

Xiao Ben said.

"You've recovered, why aren't you back to work?"

Little Ben...

Yakumo Yukari...

Nero...

Athens...

Are you the devil?

This is what everyone is thinking right now. Even the hardworking authors on certain platforms are motivated by monthly tickets and rewards!

Xiao Se is exactly like a heartless coal mine owner!

"Ahem, don't look at me like that. By the way, I have to take my driving test (Part 2) later. Anyone want to watch me show off?"

Seeing the strange looks the others were giving him, Xiao Se quickly changed the subject.

"Ugh~ I'm too busy with the game, I'm not going."

"Oh, we still need to go back to Gensokyo, lest Yuuka tear our house down."

Athena glanced at the snacks in her hand and then at Xiao Se.

"I...I'll go."

"Alright, today we'll show those examiners what real racing skills are like!"

Chapter 157 Desolation: Let's Learn About the Power of Money (3/3)

The sun scorched the earth, and the sweltering air made it feel almost like being in a giant steamer.

Xiao Se held Athena's hand as if he were hugging an air conditioner.

Although my body is already able to ignore this temperature.

but--

Feels so good!

"Xiao Se, why did you want to get a driver's license?"

Standing in the examination hall, Athena asked, somewhat puzzled.

The driving test (Part 2) that Xiao Ben booked for himself was not at the normal test time. The normal test time is ten days later. However, these days, money can still be very powerful.

Things that can be solved with money aren't really problems.

As for Athena's question, it's actually quite simple.

Whether it's Yakumo Yukari's gap-space ability or simply flying over, it's much faster than a car.

From this perspective, Xiao Se's actions seem rather unnecessary.

"It's a sentimental thing. Wouldn't it be great if I bought a motorhome and took you all on a trip to different places? I'll even put your favorite snacks and cola in the refrigerator inside."

Xiao Se looked at Athena and said with a smile.

"Who likes snacks and cola? I am Athena, the goddess of the trinity. Human food is just a pastime for me. My ultimate goal is to gain your trust and then reclaim the Gorgon Stone."

Athena seemed to be speaking to Xiao Se, yet also to herself.

"Xiaoya isn't very frank."

Xiao Se teased Athena, noticing her somewhat unfocused gaze.

What can a disobedient god do? He can only succumb to my otaku magic.

"Ulusa!"

Athena immediately shouted.

"Oh, little girl, it's you?"

A voice came from behind them, causing Xiao Se and Athena to turn around and look.

Two people arrived, one of whom looked simple-minded and was clearly a good person.

Hmm, one "friend card"

The other person was a man with beautiful long hair.

He looks like an artist.

"Hello, sir, this is my brother. This uncle helped me before."

Athena greeted them and then introduced them.

Xiao Se looked at the person in front of him with some curiosity.

Xiaoya isn't someone who can talk nicely to just anyone. Although she's like a net-addicted girl at home, her pride as a non-god makes Athena reluctant to talk to ordinary people.

When people like Takumi Fujiwara and Hao Yun came to her house, Athena didn't even bother to pay them any attention.

It was fine when the others came.

If they treat their own ordinary family members this way, it goes without saying that they would treat outsiders the same way.

Today, the fact that he took the initiative to introduce outsiders to him made Xiao Se feel somewhat uneasy.

She is of average appearance.

"Zhang Chi"

“Desolate.”

We exchanged greetings, and that was a quasi-acquaintance.

Are you here to take your driver's license test too?

Zhang Chi was the first to speak and ask the question.

"Well, having a car is definitely more convenient. Uncle, haven't you gotten your driver's license yet?"

Xiao Se nodded, then asked with a puzzled look.

These days, there aren't many people this age who haven't gotten their driver's license.

"M... Uncle?"

Zhang Chi's lips twitched uncontrollably.

Although Xiaoya calls him "uncle," and Xiaose is Xiaoya's brother, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to call her "uncle," seeing Xiaose, who is in his twenties, call him "uncle" gives him the illusion that he is already old.

"Hehe, you don't know this, let me introduce you. This is—" Before Zhang Chi could speak, the long-haired young man next to Zhang Chi, who looked like an artist, quickly stepped forward and prepared to introduce him with a proud tone.

"Alright, no need for introductions. He's only won a few racing championships, nothing to brag about. Even if second place is miles away from me, that's all in the past, nothing to brag about."

Zhang Chi lit a cigarette, his eyes glazed over, and said in a way that seemed to say, "Come and worship me!"

Xiaoya wrinkled her nose, seemingly not quite used to the smell of smoke.

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot about the children."

Zhang Chi quickly put out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can.

"I like racing too."

Xiao Se looked at Zhang Chi with delight.

"Oh, we're in the same industry!"

Zhang Chi was pleasantly surprised.

"Zhang Chi has won the championship four or five times on the Bayinbuluke track, right?"

Zhang Chi extended his hand and introduced himself.

"Xiao Se, the racing god of Mount Akina."

Xiao Se also introduced himself seriously.

Zhang Chi's previously enthusiastic expression immediately fell.
