Compared to the last time he saw her, Zhao Yueqing had cut her long hair, transitioning to a short hairstyle, as though she was saying a grand farewell to her weaker self from the past.
"I can't believe you still have the nerve to show up."
"Hmm... why wouldn't I dare to come?" Fang You tilted his head, puzzled.
"Because, I have been waiting for this day to come!"
Clutching her little fists, Zhao Yueqing gritted her teeth at Fang You, "To get revenge and wash away the shame, I've been studying and practicing hard all week, just for the day when I can clear the disgrace of that day! Come on, fight me again."
Zhao Yueqing had mastered a more powerful, swifter, and fiercer roundhouse kick, capable of delivering a heavy blow to her opponent.
What's important is that this move's initial stance looked very similar to her previous finishing move, this guy would definitely not expect her to change tactics spontaneously.
As long as he misjudges my attack, I can beat him black and blue, take my revenge and efface the humiliation!
Ha, haha, hahahaha!
Just as Zhao Yueqing was about to burst out laughing, Fang You just furrowed his brow and shook his head.
"No, I'm not interested in fighting a loser."
Fang You frowned and said, "You lost so badly last time, what's the point in competing again."
Zhao Yueqing grimaced, but quickly calmed herself down.
With her hands on her hips, she snorted with disbelief, "Hmph, I think you're just scared, too afraid to compete with me. You have no idea how strong my new finishing move is."
As soon as she spoke, she immediately regretted it and covered her mouth.
Oh no, I blurted out my new finishing move!
Seeing Zhao Yueqing eager for another duel with him, Fang You suddenly realized something.
He adjusted his glasses, then sighed helplessly, "Well, since you so want to fight me again, let's do this."
He took off the Emperor's Pledge Edition Paru third-generation machine from his waist, "If your Paru can beat mine, I'll consider a one-on-one duel with you."
"Ah?"
Zhao Yueqing was puzzled by Fang You's display of the Paru device.
She paused for a moment, then tilted her head and asked:
"Paru... what's that?"
Before Fang You could reply, a few nearby students couldn't help but loudly criticize:
"No way, you don't know what Paru is?"
"Aww, the senior sister is so lame."
"We need to consider if it's time for this senior sister to step down and let someone more capable take over."
"I think this student with the Emperor's Pledge Edition Paru third-generation machine is very suited to be our Martial Arts Hall's boss."
"I really want to know which one his golden Paru is, it's so annoying..."
Listening to her junior brothers' chatter, Zhao Yueqing felt utterly humiliated.
To think I, the future martial arts prodigy, am shamed, Fang You, you've just compounded your crime!
Zhao Yueqing pointed at Fang You and issued a challenging cry full of momentum:
"Just you wait! I'll have my dad buy me one right now!"
"Okay, but just don't go to the Springday Toy City at O'Leary's Square to buy the Paru device, because that's the only place where you can get a golden Paru device that shines like mine," Fang You said. "It's cool enough if I'm the only one who has it."
[Zhao Yueqing believes you're challenging her leadership position at Jingji Children's Martial Arts Hall, Emotional Energy +30]
"Fang You, I'm telling you! Not only will I buy one, but I'll buy the same one as you!"
"Ah... that's not necessary..."
Fang You scratched his head, "You've never played Paru before. Why don't you start with a cheaper one and see if you like it? If you're trying something you're not good at, won't you end up having a hard time?"
Fang Guanghui said angrily, "Although we're rich, we can't just squander money. After all, it's all your hard-earned money from advertising since you were young. I have to save it for your future wedding."
"It's okay, Dad. I won't need money to get married."
Fang You interrupted Fang Guanghui's continued rant.
"Let's not talk about that now. Look at this, Dad."
As he spoke, Fang You took out an item from the cabinet and displayed it in front of Fang Guanghui.
Fang Guanghui's eyes widened in disbelief!
It was a brand-new, white third-generation Paru device!
"This is a birthday gift for you."
"Son, my birthday is next month..."
"But I have the filial piety now, and I'm sure you're pleased."
"Don't be too hung up on details. I won't tell Mom."
"You're right! Thank you, son. Even though you've misused your own New Year's money, Dad won't be mad. I, your dad, I..."
"Alright, hurry up and hatch the egg."
Fang You checked the time, then urged Fang Guanghui, "The moment to prove your character has come. If not now, then when?"
Fang Guanghui eagerly opened the Paru device Fang You had bought for him.
Power on, hatch the egg!
As he watched the Paru egg start to shake, Fang Guanghui suddenly felt everything coming back to him.
All the regrets from his childhood, when he could only watch other kids play with their Digimon devices and never had an electronic pet of his own, now seemed to vanish...
Finally, I have my own electronic pet. I'm chosen too!
Filled with 24 hours of anticipation and anxiety, and the grand aspiration of dreaming of hatching a mythical Star Guardian Paru.
Finally, the time to hatch the egg arrived.
Father and son Fang looked eagerly as a ray of light passed within the egg.
Following that, a furry Paru creature hatched and greeted Fang Guanghui amiably with meek meek sounds of cuteness!
Congratulations, you've hatched the super rare N-level Paru [Star Guardian · Meekmeek Sheep]!
"This is such a rip-off!"
To keep getting Ns... What kind of luck is that...
"Dad, that's just your fate. There's nothing you can do,"
Fang You patted his old man's shoulder to comfort him. "It happens all the time. You'll understand once you go through it more."
"I'm sorry, son. I wasted your money," Fang Guanghui felt guilty.
"Wasted what? Meekmeek Sheep is still playable, keep playing,"
Fang You said and pulled out his own Emperor's Oath edition third-generation Paru device, "There's no weakest Paru creature, only the weakest trainer."
"Don't believe me? Fight my Googoogaga."
Fang You's golden Googoogaga instantly killed the Meekmeek Sheep!
Sorry, Dad, you were just part of my plan!
So, Fang You watched as a mission completion message popped up in his mind:
[Congratulations! You have successfully used Star Guardian Googoogaga to defeat 10 Star Guardian Parus in a row. Knowledge Task: Divine Fowl from Heaven has been completed]
[Reward: Knowledge Energy +3000, Knowledge Talent—[Child of Luck] unlocked]
