America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 231 I will go to you in person, and then I will make them agree in person.
"Sean..."

As soon as I drove the motorcycle to the parking lot in the corner of town, the Aston Martin that was parked there immediately started up, and an anxious shout came from the car.

Li Xiaoen twisted the side brakes to quickly reduce speed, and before the motorcycle had come to a complete stop, he jumped off, opened the car door, and sat inside. His series of swift and fluid movements left Victoria stunned.

"Come on."

Li Xiaoen, panting heavily, gestured with his chin to indicate the way forward, "Turn on the navigation, let's follow the navigation and take the main road."

"it is good."

Nodding quickly, Victoria pressed the accelerator harder and drove the car quickly down another road.

Only after she had driven several miles out of town and confirmed in her rearview mirror that no one was chasing her did she relax and look at the young man sitting in the passenger seat.

"Sean, is Elva alright?"

"It's alright, I rescued her and returned her to her father."

Li Xiaoen replied reassuringly, giving her a meaningful and amused look, "Besides, it seems that taking Elva on a motorcycle ride accidentally cured her illness."

"is it?"

Victoria paused for a moment upon hearing this, then turned to look at him with surprise. "Mr. Herbert said they spent money consulting famous doctors both domestically and internationally, but none of them could help. How come riding a motorcycle for a while cured me?"

"That's not clear."

Li Xiaoen shrugged without batting an eye. "Elva has a congenital disease. Perhaps the strong stimulus she just experienced has completely desensitized her?"

"Well, this is a good thing after all."

No one can really explain these things, so Victoria stopped worrying about it and nodded with a smile, "Oh, right, we haven't picked up the supplies we bought, or the gifts Elva gave us..."

"The supplies aren't important; the key is the paintbrushes Elva gave us."

Li Xiaoen nodded, mysteriously extending his hand towards Victoria. With a flick of his wrist, a small, exquisite tin box appeared in his hand.

"Hmm...that's for the best."

Victoria immediately smiled, reached out and took the metal box. Noticing the hand that had been supporting it fall limply to its side, she looked up and saw the young man leaning back weakly in his chair. Her hand trembled slightly.

"Sean, Sean..."

Her face turned deathly pale. Victoria's hands trembled as she hurriedly pulled the car over to the side of the road, leaning forward to brace herself. "Are you alright? Don't scare me..."

Her voice was hoarse and trembling, even tinged with sobs. Under Li Xiaoen's blank gaze, the girl's eyes visibly reddened. She reached out and cupped his cheeks, searching up and down for the marks of his injuries.

“Much profit… … ”

At this moment, his limbs were indeed weak and powerless, which could be said to be the most dangerous moment since he was an infant. Li Xiaoen forced a smile and comforted the girl, "Don't worry, I just went to save Elva and I'm exhausted now. I'll be fine after a rest."

"Really? You didn't lie to me?"

A light suddenly appeared in Victoria's eyes, and she quickly asked, "Even if you're exhausted, how can you be like this now?"

The others didn't, but he ate a super lollipop.

Li Xiaoen felt helpless. According to the description of the prop, the side effect of exhaustion would occur after the effect wore off. He did not expect to be in such a state of complete weakness. But perhaps it was precisely because of this prop that he was able to easily knock down the bodyguards who came to block him and even endure two stun guns.

This is why he had Victoria follow the navigation along the interstate highways.

After repeatedly reassuring and comforting Victoria, the car finally started moving slowly. Li Xiaoen reclined his seat and leaned back, receiving occasional concerned glances from the girl.

Without saying much, Li Xiaoen closed his eyes, brought up the system interface, and looked at his backpack.

【背包：1立方收容空间×1，限时洞察之眼（19小时48分钟45秒）×1，玩具车使用说明书×1，过家家基地图纸×1，中等学习领域光环×1，人物透镜×1，魔动枪（1/3）×1，虚拟时间池LV1（8年）×1，道具自选卡×1，真·生命一号×3】

Besides the [Super Lollipop] and [Magic Gun], as well as the nearly two hours of [Eye of Insight] that were consumed during this time, he also spent a year on motorcycle racing to save Elva, which greatly reduced his virtual storage time.

Compared to my daily life at university, the speed at which I've spent money on props lately has been quite fast. Just as I was thinking about this, a new screen popped up.

Achievement (Heroic Deeds: Promoting Good Deeds 2/10) Completed

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained: 1 Unlocked Item Selection Card and 1 Random Item Upgrade Card]

[Unlocked Item Selection Card: After use, you can freely select and obtain one item that the host has unlocked; the quantity of ordinary items will be increased by 3, and the three types of Virtual Action Time Cards will be upgraded to the highest level.]

[Random Item Upgrade Card: After use, it will randomly select one item currently owned by the host for upgrade, and the corresponding function will be doubled.]

Does this mean that Herbert and his daughter have returned home, or that the bodyguards who came after them have given up?

Li Xiaoen thought to himself, if we consider curing the little girl's illness as the time to go, it should have already popped up back in the town. The fact that it popped up now must mean that something has happened.

Unfortunately, the system failed to provide any response.

But anyway, it's all good.

Li Xiaoen shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and focused his attention on the reward for achieving the accomplishment.

This time, just like the achievement reward for "Punishing Evil," it made him much more willing to hold onto the items and wait for a good price to sell them—now that he has two selectable items and one random upgrade item, it's time to try his luck.

[Item selection card successfully used. Congratulations, host, you have obtained a random item upgrade card.]

[Item Random Upgrade Card successfully used. Congratulations, host! The item selection card has been successfully upgraded, and its current effect will be doubled.]

"..."

Okay, okay, it's like a nesting doll, right?

Li Xiaoen's vision went black, and he immediately used the second random upgrade card.

[Item Random Upgrade Card successfully used. Congratulations, host! Your Intermediate Learning Domain Aura has been successfully upgraded to Advanced.]

[Advanced Learning Domain Aura: When activated, it ignores all obstacles, increases the host's thinking ability by 70%, and simultaneously expands into a learning domain within a 30-meter radius. Within this range, the host can choose targets to receive the aura, increasing their thinking ability by 40%. Limited to 40 targets. The aura effect can be briefly applied to a central point, currently lasting 24 hours.]

This is good!

Li Xiaoen suddenly opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face.

Sure enough, there is a huge dividing line between advanced and intermediate levels. He was somewhat dissatisfied with the effect of upgrading to intermediate level before.

With his mind racing, he suddenly felt an urge to upgrade this item to the highest level.

"Sean, have you regained your strength?"

Victoria kept a close eye on the young man's changing expression, noticing his rapidly shifting moods from dark to excited. She asked him with concern.

"not yet."

He tried to raise his hand, but only managed to lift it halfway before it slumped back onto the seat. Li Xiaoen shook his head. "At this rate, it'll probably take several more hours."

"It would be good if he could recover."

Seeing this, Victoria breathed a sigh of relief, a look of joy on her face. "You've been driving all this time, now it's my turn. When will you be able to cook for me?"

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Li Xiaoen smiled, glancing meaningfully at the girl. Victoria rolled her eyes, looked back at the road ahead, and a look of sorrow immediately appeared on her face.

"Sean, I'm sorry..."

After carefully choosing her words, Victoria took a deep breath and said, "My family gave me life and raised me. I cannot abandon my family for my own sake. This is my inherent responsibility."

“Much profit… … ”

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoen's expression froze, and she quickly exclaimed, "Are you really going back to be the queen?"

"..."

"no!"

Victoria's expression froze for a moment, all the emotions she had been building up vanished in an instant. She turned and glared at the young man, saying, "I am the third in line to the throne."

“What the f**k…”

He let out a sound instinctively, then quickly asked, "So close? The first and second, do they want to inherit the throne?"

Although the Queen of England does not restrict romantic relationships, as far as he knows, marrying the Queen requires acquiring their nationality and even their religion—not to mention his long-held determination not to betray the two women's goals.

"I don't really know what they're thinking."

Victoria shook her head and took a deep breath. "Over the years, the current throne has brought us, as family members, a greater responsibility than anything else."

"Don't worry about that. If we're going to get to that position, at least there are two people in front of us to cover for us."

Li Xiaoen shook his head, relaxing his body. "Besides, if they give up, and you give up too, no one can say anything about you, right?"

"besides……"

Victoria spoke again, but her voice suddenly became barely audible, "There is no precedent in our royal family for marrying a non-white person."

"Isn't that what I found in the information?"

Li Xiaon quickly retorted, saying that he had already searched for a lot of information about this online long ago. "Your Prince Harry, Meghan of African descent, Eduardo, and Dara of Chinese descent, and quite a few others."

“That’s a woman, a woman from another race whom our royal family has married and incorporated into our family.”

Victoria explained helplessly, opening her mouth but not saying another word. Li Xiaoen understood immediately and took a deep breath.

Indeed, even in this day and age, men and women still cannot treat each other with completely equal attitudes—the social recognition of marriage and being married off is still very different in most people's minds.

Li Xiaoen's heart sank, but noticing the sorrow in the girl's eyes, he still mustered his strength and gave a smile.

“Victoria, don’t worry or fret. I will come to you in person and make them agree.”

Victoria paused for a moment, then turned her dazed gaze back at her.

“There’s always a first time for everything, and I don’t mind leaving a strong mark on history.”

Li Xiaoen took a deep breath, smiled at the girl, and raised his chin. "Let's break this historical process ourselves."

"..."

"How arrogant! He's shameless."

Victoria pursed her lips and murmured a sound. She quickly turned back to look at the front of the car. Under Li Xiaoen's careful gaze, her delicate ears, hidden among her thousands of golden hair, quickly turned bright red.

"Ha ha……"

Li Xiaoen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Stop making noise! ​​Go get some rest!"

Victoria snapped at them and hurriedly turned on the speakers on the control panel.

"Oh, right, Victoria, we can't use bank cards anymore..."

Suddenly remembering something, Li Xiaoen instructed Victoria, "We've always been accurately tracked. Once at the supermarket, once at the coffee shop, and each time it's after I use my bank card to make a purchase. I suspect they've stolen or obtained my card's real-time transaction records from the bank."

"So, Sean, do you have any cash on you?"

When the conversation turned to business, Victoria's expression quickly returned to normal.

"No."

Li Xiaoen said solemnly, "But it's okay. We can wash dishes along the way, do some simple part-time jobs, or even borrow a guitar and busk on the roadside. That should be enough to cover the travel expenses."

Is it really necessary to go through all that trouble?

Victoria shook her head dismissively, "We can pawn this car and get a cheap used one instead."

After saying that, she turned to the controller and clicked, "Let me see where the nearest used car market is..."

"Oh, I found it."

He quickly called out, and Sean Lee reached into his pocket and threw a wad of US dollars onto the armrest between the two seats. "This is ten thousand US dollars. It should be enough for us for the rest of the trip."

"Um……"

Victoria glanced at the wad of US dollars and nodded casually. "Another case of finding money by chance. Last time it was a bank card, this time it's cash..."

As she murmured to herself, Victoria turned around and gave her a mischievous look.

"Just kidding."

Forced an awkward smile, Li Xiaoen shrugged, and could only silently express his gratitude to the [Containment Space] and his long-standing "persecution complex".

This saved his beloved car!

They chatted for a while until 7:30 p.m. when they finally found a place to stay in a city called Roanoke, Virginia—more than three hours away from their destination, Bitmore Estate.

After parking the car in the hotel parking lot, Victoria carefully examined Li Xiaoen's body and limbs. Seeing that he could move freely without any abnormalities, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"What's wrong? You really think I'm lying to you?"

Li Xiaoen's face darkened. "I've never been one to lie to you."

"Not always."

Rolling her eyes, Victoria turned around and walked into the hotel on her own. "Haven't you been keeping your affair with Suffer a secret from me for a long time?"

There's no way to respond to that.

Li Xiaoen raised an eyebrow, then immediately followed the girl with a smile, raising his arm to put it on her shoulder.

"I'm out of money. Tonight, our beautiful Princess Victoria will pay for everything."

Victoria glanced at the young man, then reached into her coat pocket and touched the ten thousand US dollars inside. Her fair face pursed her lips, revealing a nonchalant yet smug smile.

"Say a few nice things to me and make me happy, and I'll cover all your expenses tonight."
