"Hehe, it's okay, it's just a way to kill time, I'm not going to oppose."

Chen Fei looked at his younger sister.

Hmm! She must not have a boyfriend, or else she wouldn't be surrounded and bullied by those girls, it's just too obvious!

"You're really something, setting up your sister like that!"

Chen Meng glared at Chen Fei, fuming.

It was as if she suddenly remembered something, and her expression gradually turned ugly. She grabbed Chen Fei's hand, pouting, and said, "Brother, it's my fault, I'm the one who got you into trouble!"

Because she had initially underestimated the malice of human hearts, she was exploited by her best friend and high school classmate. This misplaced trust resulted in a huge debt for her family, and her brother, who had been hopeful about pursuing a master's degree, had no choice but to drop his studies and work to pay off the debt.

Her brother had completely changed from before, embarking on a completely different path in life. At the root of it all, it was Chen Meng's own doing, and although she didn't show it, it had inevitably left an indelible shadow in her heart.

"You silly girl, I'm your brother. We're family, we bear our burdens together."

Chen Fei again knocked on his little sister's forehead. He had never really blamed this sister of his who had caused him trouble.

When a sister causes trouble, it's only natural for her brother to bear it, right?

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, you're going to knock it numb, make me dumb."

Chen Xiaomeng was on the verge of tears.

Chen Fei said earnestly, "You really need to smarten up!"

If he hadn't intervened this time and taken the bullies who were picking on his little sister to the security office, pressing the attack on the verge of victory, she might have been bullied again, and face another round of being taken advantage of.

The Ivory Tower isn't truly a friendly and peaceful environment. There are still plenty of scammers like Meng Yang and Zhang Zhenzhen around.

Chen Meng playfully stuck out her tongue. With that kind of nature, it might take her several years to smarten up, and her brother would have plenty to worry about.

Soon, she started circling around the Mobile Base Vehicle. Compared to the luxury cars flaunted daily by the wealthy second-generation kids in her class, this behemoth was more than just a notch above.

"Bro, where did you get such a big motorhome? It's too impressive!"

Chen Meng mistook the Mobile Base Vehicle for a motorhome, her eyes filled with envy.

If you remove the weapon, reconnaissance, and communication relay modules, the remaining living facilities indeed don't differ much from a motorhome. It just has four main structures: kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom, with the addition of a driving cabin; without driving, it's called a trailer.

Compared to those sports and luxury cars, this behemoth could simply roll them into a ditch.

"I assembled it myself; it's not some name-brand luxury vehicle."

The vehicle that Chen Fei assembled from a scrap pile naturally had no brand or label, and it was an illegal modification of a scrapped vehicle. It was permitted to be on the road only because of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee's clout, and the industrial-grade Metal Ability User's expertise and repair skills. Anyone else wouldn't even get close to doing so.

As an old driver capable of flying high or racing down below, Chen Fei was indeed considered the most reliable driver in Team 04, irreplaceable at that.

The Blue Star Global United Defense Committee seemed to have taken an interest in Team 04's Mobile Base Vehicle, intending to find a professional regular factory to custom-make a batch of large, multi-functional living vehicles like this one for field teams or groups on external missions. Whether for living or for transport, it would be much more convenient.

"The work involved must have been huge, right?"

Chen Meng kicked the solid and sturdy body of the vehicle. She couldn't imagine how her brother managed to assemble such a gigantic thing—this was way too high-end for her.

If she could drive it all over the world, it would be incredibly comfortable, even luxurious.

Indeed, Little Sister Chen wasn't wrong in her guess. The Mobile Base Vehicle, equipped with high-grade Crystalline Blocks, possessed incredible endurance, ensuring that no part of the scenery would be missed along the way.

"It's about time for dinner, I'll take you to eat."

Chen Fei hadn't planned on joining her for cafeteria food after coming all the way to see his little sister. Since he was here, he thought they might as well indulge in some fine dining to treat themselves.

Although the university cafeteria served decent food, Little Sister Chen Meng would have plenty of opportunities to eat there every day in the future.

"Can you cook food in this car?"

Chen Meng had little interest in going out to eat, but the kitchen in the Mobile Base Vehicle piqued her interest.

Moreover, since her brother was shouldering her debts, it made sense to save wherever they could. After all, they just needed to fill their bellies; there was no need to waste money excessively.

"Of course, we have vegetables and meat."

Along the way, Chen Fei had stocked up on supplies, even using Xiao Jiu's leg ring, which was a Storage Magical Device, to keep some fresh food ingredients that couldn't last long.

In the space of the Space System Alchemy Storage Device, time was essentially stopped, with an entropy of zero. Even after ten thousand years, whatever you put in would come out exactly the same, without any change.

"Then let's do it ourselves, self-sufficiency at its best. Bro, open the door!"

Chen Meng reached out to push the door open, but before she could touch it, the door slid open to the side automatically.

"Jiu!"

The Little Bird greeted Little Sister Chen again but stayed in its nest, unwilling to come out.

As the saying goes, there's a solution for every problem, Little Bird fears Little Sister.

Being squished into a ball again and again without any chance to resist, the little one had long developed a psychological trauma and wouldn't dare repeat the same mistake.

"Xiao Jiu is being lazy again. Get up and party!"

Chen Meng reached into the bird's nest without regard for the Little Bird's protests and cradled it out, skillfully start rolling it into a ball.

"Jiu jiu jiu jiu jiu jiu..."

The little one emitted a series of cries as if it had lost all will to live.

```

Chen Fei said grumpily, "You're still rubbing it, don't forget what happened last time!"

Last time Xiao Jiu was turned into a ball and gave everyone a big scare.

It was later discovered that it was due to its advancement in rank, not from being physically rolled into a ball, but it still frightened Chen Meng and Chen Fei, the brother and sister duo, quite a bit.

"Hehehe!"

Chen Meng finally let go of the little guy with an embarrassed laugh.

The little bird, in retaliation, pecked viciously at Little Sister Chen's fingers several times, but to no avail as the Pure Light Sparrow's physical combat ability was less than zero—it couldn't even leave a tiny red mark.

The Pure Light Sparrow, before and after grasping laser skills, was almost like two different birds. Before, its combat power was laughably weak, but afterward, it became ferociously powerful. With the enhancement of Third Rank Human Order, it could hold its own against Fifth or even Sixth Rank opponents without faltering.

"Are you sure you don't want to dine out? It's a rare opportunity, miss this village and you won't find another shop like it?"

Chen Fei didn't mind either option, as the fridge in the vehicle was well-stocked with food and there was also a high-capacity freezer full of various meats.

The original design was to support the needs of eleven people, so it was more than sufficient for just the two of them.

"Go where? Of course, we keep it economical! Bro, what do you have here?"

Thrifty Chen Xiaomeng began rummaging through the fridge and freezer, and upon seeing the fully stocked refrigeration compartments, she exclaimed, "With so much food, why go out to eat?"

Chen Fei suggested, "How about calling some of your classmates you're close to? Maybe have a BBQ or something?"@@novelbin@@

Using this opportunity to strengthen relationships among classmates could be beneficial for school life.

"Uh, sure. There's plenty of food here, why not invite everyone? About a dozen or so people!"

Chen Meng looked around and thought that if they were just sitting down, the vehicle's space was more than enough, but for a BBQ, it might be a bit tight.

It would be just right to call the classmates she was close to; any more would be too many.

Noticing and understanding Chen Meng's glance, Chen Fei smiled.

"Why not invite all your classmates for a bigger BBQ event? It will be even more lively."

"Won't it be..."

Just as Chen Meng began to express concern about the space inside the vehicle, one side of it, along with the door and window, slowly lifted, leaving that whole side of the vehicle completely open.

If the external space was included, it was more than enough. Not just for a dozen or twenty people, even a hundred would be ample.

In front of the Metal Elemental Psychic Power, as long as the structural design and stress points were handled, even on-the-spot modifications were not a problem.

"Is this a modular vehicle?"

Chen Meng looked incredulous. If it were a modular vehicle, all car factories might as well shut down.

"Jiu!"

The little bird, taking refuge back in its warm nest, protested as it definitely felt the temperature drop more than a degree Celsius.

The cold air surged into the warm cab, and while the heating system was still working, it couldn't stop the continuous drop in temperature.

"Go and call your classmates quickly, I'll start getting ready here, and we also need to find a suitable place!"

Chen Fei started taking out the frozen meats, preparing to thaw them.

Many meats had been pre-processed and even seasoned, some suitable for pan-frying, some for BBQ, and some for soups, which could save a lot of time.

"Leave it to me!"

Chen Meng immediately took out her phone and started contacting people.

Having started the school year a while ago, she had made some acquaintances, so she could definitely call her classmates and roommates.

The raised side panel of the vehicle folded back down, fitting tightly into place, and the temperature inside the vehicle finally began to rise, making Xiao Jiu comfortable again.

Obviously, they couldn't have a BBQ set up right in front of the administrative building; they had to find a good location. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

By a frozen lake that was solid as porcelain, the atmosphere of human life began to spread—lights, music, and the BBQ all came together, and more and more students arrived, naturally creating a lively mood.

More than a dozen kerosene stoves and ten BBQ grills constantly released heat, standing up to the severe cold of the North, especially under the lifted side panel of the mobile base vehicle, forming a warm area.

"Wow, Xiaomeng, where did you get this?"

Chen Meng's classmates, who had never seen such a scene before, exclaimed in surprise.

"If you want to eat something, do it yourself!"

Chen Fei set out the skewers as the meats for BBQ piled up like little hills, and they kicked off the self-service BBQ.

The scene had not just drinks and beverages but also steaming hot, heartwarming meat soup.

"That's my brother; he came to see me!"

Chen Meng had never been as happy as she was now, at this moment she was like a proud peacock, showing off her full presence.

The support that her second brother provided her was unparalleled by anyone!

Show off, it was a must-show-off situation!
