Brush Up Your Proficiency

Today, Wang Hao didn't show excessive excitement about the large sum of money he received in his bank card. In fact, his reaction carried a hint of indifference.

This made Wang Hao himself feel a little amused.

Clearly, such a large sum of money would be a great help to him, currently still renting a place. Anyone else might be jumping and skipping all the way home, but he was surprisingly calm, not feeling particularly excited.

Wang Hao subconsciously began to analyze the reason: "It seems that after possessing sufficiently strong abilities and being able to easily acquire these external things, the importance of the cheat also decreases a lot."

"If it were the old me, no matter how steady I was, I wouldn't be in this state. Is this the kind of thinking that those people I used to look up to would have?"

After parting with Cheng Yufei and the others, Wang Hao chatted with Li Qiang along the way about his recent thoughts, while marveling at his current changes.

Although he felt that this kind of life and change in attitude was somewhat like a change of scenery, he was quite satisfied. This kind of life, not living for money, seemed pleasant every day.

Although Li Qiang felt the same way, his feelings were different from Wang Hao's.

Just over ten days ago, he was still a worker who felt confused about the future. Now, he not only earned over ten thousand a month, but also possessed a skill that could be sustained indefinitely.

This kind of change was something he wouldn't have dared to imagine before, and it was all thanks to having a good brother!

Thinking of this, Li Qiang's gaze towards his childhood friend became even more grateful.

After Wang Hao finished chatting with Li Qiang, they both returned to their respective homes.

Wang Hao opened the door, and what came into view was his sister Wang Lan's amusing posture—

She was like a mountain bandit, sprawled carelessly and without any grace on the sofa, her legs crossed, constantly shaking, with an arrogant expression that seemed to say, "I don't recognize anyone."

Wang Hao knew at a glance that she must have passed today's exam smoothly.

However, he decided to cooperate with his sister's current demeanor, so he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a loving smile, and softly asked, "Xiao Lan, how did today's exam go?"

As he spoke, Wang Hao walked over and sat down next to his sister, taking the initiative to start the conversation.

People who have taken driving tests know that this kind of exam is different from other test-oriented exams. The scores are given on the spot, and you know your results as soon as you finish the test.

Hearing Wang Hao's question, Wang Lan raised her chin even higher, her face full of undisguised pride, and the swaying of her crossed legs became even more pronounced, as if declaring her victory to the whole world.

She parted her red lips and slowly squeezed out three simple words from between her teeth in a slightly arrogant tone: "Passed first try!"

After saying that, she didn't forget to raise her eyebrows, her eyes full of confidence and pride in her abilities.

Seeing his sister's cute and funny appearance, Wang Hao couldn't help but laugh.

He reached out and gently rubbed Wang Lan's hair, smiling and saying:

"Haha, good, good, you're really amazing! It seems you're much stronger than your older brother was back then! Once you pass Subject Four, our Xiao Lan will have a driver's license! When that time comes, you can drive the car out of the garage and go wherever you want!"

With that, Wang Hao happily clapped his hands, trying his best to echo his sister's current excitement, and striving to play the role of a caring older brother who provided full emotional support.

Wang Lan felt even more pleased in her heart after hearing her brother's praise. She slightly raised her head, putting on a matter-of-course look, as if this was the expected result.

"Alright, she's got me pegged!" Wang Hao looked at his increasingly dramatic sister and shook his head helplessly, thinking with amusement.

Then, he said in a slightly teasing tone: "Are you still eating dinner or not?"

Hearing Wang Hao say this, Wang Lan immediately put away her dramatic state, quickly sat up straight, and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes, I didn't eat well today because of the exam!" As she spoke, she put on a pitiful look.

Watching his sister switch between two completely different states so naturally and smoothly, even Wang Hao, who possessed intermediate acting skills, couldn't help but sincerely sigh at what the experienced old director of the theater had once said:

"Acting is a skill that really requires innate talent!"

To celebrate Wang Lan's successful passing of the Subject Three exam, Wang Hao happily went into the kitchen and cooked several challenging dishes.

At the same time, he also took out his phone and directly transferred 5,000 yuan to his sister as a reward.

For his sister, who had always been a little miser, this large sum of five thousand yuan was undoubtedly a huge surprise.

If it had been a month ago, facing such a considerable amount of money, she might have hesitated again and again, considering whether she should accept it.

After all, the family's financial situation was quite tight at that time, and every penny had to be carefully calculated.

However, the situation was different now. She knew that her brother Wang Hao and Cheng Yufei's restaurant business was booming, with a constant stream of customers.

At this moment, it seemed that all the cells in her body were filled with happiness, and the whole person became exceptionally lively and playful, even making people feel that she was so excited that she was almost about to jump up.

At this time, Wang Lan's performance was even more excited than when Wang Hao received the reward of 300,000.

Wang Hao watched from the side, and he was also filled with emotion: There must be gains and losses. Although the improvement of mental power allows him to look at some things more calmly and objectively, he has lost this most primitive happiness, which can also be regarded as a disadvantage.

When Wang Lan had finished releasing her excitement, she was also tired. The two of them cleaned up the place together, said good night to each other, and returned to their respective rooms.

Wang Hao leaned on the bed as usual, slightly emptied his mind, and then picked up the second volume of "Lao Zhuang" to read.

As he sank into the world of "Lao Zhuang", the mental power he had consumed today was also recovering quickly, and he fell into a deep sleep.
