  Mag took two steps back and nodded as he looked at Amy. She looked cool as well as cute. This clothing combination was really eye-catching. He felt really proud of himself.

  “How do I look, Father?” Amy asked, excited.

  “You look wonderful!”


  “I’m a magic caster!” She clenched her little fists and started running around the room happily, with Ugly Duckling running behind her.

  Looking at the cape floating behind her, Mag smiled.

  The little girl ran into the next room and checked herself in the mirror. Then she turned to Mag. “Can you do two ponytails for me today, Father?”


  Mag nodded. “Sure.”

  He quickly did two ponytails for her. The ponytails did go better with the robe.

  After they washed up and brushed her teeth, Mag went downstairs to make preparations, and Amy played with the kitten in the restaurant. Although she woke up very early, she didn’t look tired at all. She was a little magic caster with her cat.

  Mag was kneading dough, which was the most time-consuming process among the preparations. He had to take Amy to school today, so he couldn’t knead as much dough as before.

  “System, I want to buy a car,” Mag said suddenly. Clearly, he wanted to lose as little time on the road as possible.

  “I’m afraid you can’t afford it.”


  Mag lifted an eyebrow.

  “A used Alto will do.”


  “I don’t sell used things,” the system said proudly. “Besides, I don’t think a used Alto is a safe choice considering the stone-paved roads here.”


  Actually, the system had a point. The roads were pretty good here in Chaos City, but they were not built for cars. “How much is your cheapest off-road car?”


  “Range Rover, the cheapest is 15,000 gold coins. You can upgrade it, of course. The most expensive Range Rover is only 30,000 gold coins.”


  “Well, you have bicycles too, right?”


  He had had an expensive Range Rover in his garage, which had been the cheapest among his cars, but he had never paid a penny for any of them. Now that he had to work for every coin, he decided to spend each one cautiously.

  “You can pay by installments for that most expensive Range Rover, and I can loan you money. No interest for 12 months. The down payment is only 9,000 gold coins. Also, I can offer you three times of maintenance for free. You never have to pay if the repair fee is under 10 gold coins. You won’t get a better offer than this!”


  “No, thanks. Show me the bikes!” Mag said without hesitation.

  “Oh, you can test drive it if you want.”


  “Do you sell bikes or not?!” Mag wasn’t the least bit tempted.

  The system’s enticement failed. It had no choice but to show Mag the pictures of bikes.

  He chose a large outdated ‘Forever’ brand bike quickly. He tricked the system into using carbon fiber material, shock absorbers, wire control front fork, 12-speed groupset, and a removable seat at the back. He only paid 10 gold coins for it.

  “Building the bike. It will be ready in five minutes. Where do you want me to put it?” the system said.

  “Out front. But don’t put it there until we’re ready to leave. I don’t want it stolen.” Mag was looking at the design drawing.

  Mag was very pleased with himself.

  After breakfast, Mag bought a thermal bottle from the system for one gold coin, put some sweet tofu pudding in it, boxed up some fried rice, and walked out with Amy.

  “Your bike is out front,” the system said.

  “Father, are we going to be late?” Amy asked worriedly, looking up at Mag. Ugly Duckling was looking around in her arms, excited.

  Mag shook his head. “Don’t worry. We have a bike. We’ll be there in less than 10 minutes,” he said, pointing to the front. The bike was rather good-looking even with the basket and child seat.

  Amy turned to look. “What’s this? It has two wheels. Is it a carriage? But we don’t have any horses.”


  “It’s a bike. We don’t need a horse to draw it.” He put the thermal bottle and the box in a bag and hung it on the handlebar. Then, he put Ugly Duckling in the basket and Amy in the child seat. “Hold on tight. We only have 15 minutes, so we have to hurry.”


  Amy nodded. “Yes, Father.” Her eyes were shining with excitement. She didn’t know what bike was, but she trusted her father.

  Ugly Duckling put its two paws on the brim of the basket, looked around, and meowed curiously.

  Mag got on the bike and pedalled hard. The bike started running, faster by the minute.

  “Wow! We’re so fast!” Amy exclaimed happily, putting up her hands. Her cape was swirling; she looked just like a little superwoman.

  “Whoa, they’re so cool!” Black Coal said when Mag rode passed Urien’s shop.
