"System?"Harvey wondered. He had heard about system in novels he read but a similar situation is happening to him now as he was trying to digest everything,the cold voice again in his brain.
"Congratulations host on winning 17 million dollars as the starter's prize.Congratulations, your first prize is decupled. You now have 170 million dollars!"
"New Quest: Go out with your sister! Finish the quest and win the reward!"
Harvey halted and rubbed his forehead.He wondered whether the kids' screaming had given him hallucinations.Maybe...
Suddenly, his phone beeped.A message was sent on the phone. Harvey tapped the screen and found the message was from his bank.
"Dear user, deposit money into your account by transferring 170,000,000 dollars. Your current deposit:170,000,040 dollars. Helpline:12138."
"s**t!"
Harvey was startled when the phone slipped out of his hand.
"What! Am I dreaming?"
"Rest assured, the reward comes from a legal source!"The system said.
Harvey's hand trembled with excitement.He got a System!
The System was designed to compensate him either for the breakup between him and Sofia or for taking care of his sisters.
"What's Wrong?" Olivia asked.
"Nothing."Harvey stooped to pick up his phone. He then swallowed and said, "Let's eat out."
He needed to take them out to finish the quest.
"Are you sure?" Olivia squinted her eyes at Harvey.
"Yes,"Harvey nodded.
I want hamburgers!"Teresa raised her hand in the sky and exclaimed.
"I want fondue!" Telma giggled.
"I want steak!"
"I want barbeque!"
The kids gabbled.
Harvey suddenly clapped his hand and suggested, "Since there is no place that can fulfill all your requests, let's pick one first and try the rest later!
"Barbeque, I decided!"
Fast food was junk. The fondue was too hot. The steak was too boring. Thus, only roast meat could at least satisfy most of them.
There was a luxurious barbeque restaurant in Woodbridge City that provided fresh meat with other kinds of food.
Harvey saw the advertisement before in a video. Now he had the money. He must go and taste it for himself.
Most importantly, some of them knew how to make delicious barbeques.They were Olivia and Tonia.
After Harvey told the parents, he and his Sisters set off.
"Payment successful!"
"Payment successful!"
"Payment successful!"
Harvey wiped his compass card 13 times for him and his sisters.
The bus driver was amused. "Are you taking your kindergarten students for a trip?"
Harvey chuckled. "No. They are all my sisters."
"So many.."The driver gasped.
Harvey thought about buying a car,but there was another problem.
The car couldn't fit the twelve sisters.
The bus station was just outside the mall. It was more convenient than taking the subway.
After a while, Harvey and his sisters got off the bus.
"Gather, my sisters. I need to make a roll call!" Harvey said in a clarion voice.
"Olivia"
Olivia cooperated and answered.
"here".
Because she wouldn't have to pay for the scrumptious meal,she was in such a good mood.
"Tonia!"
"I am here!"
Thea!"
"Over here..."
"Teresa!"
"Here!"
Teresa replied in her extremely cute voice.
Harvey nodded happily and said,
"Great! Everyone is here! Let's go have some barbequeRemember! Don't run around in the restaurant! If you need anything, tell me!"
"OK, Big brother!"
The sisters agreed in unison.
The passers-by couldn't help but notice this scene.
Twelve sisters! Twelve flowers!
"Holly molly! How can he have so many kids!"
"Are you dumb? They must be siblings! How can a mother give birth to so many children?"
"I always want a sister! Twelve sisters, twelve bundles of joy!"
"You can have them in your dreams!"
The people passing by discussed.
Harvey led them into the mall while Olivia followed at the rear to protect them.
It was not easy to watch over all the kids, and he was glad that he had Olivia's help.
Tonia was young but she was able to protect herself. She was a freshman in her high school while Olivia was a junior.
Thea was an 8th grader. She could also protect herself.
Flora was in her first year of middle sehool and Faye was a 5th grader.
The rest sisters were 1st graders and 2nd graders except for Elaine and Teresa who were still in kindergartens.They quickly climbed to the fifth floor.
In the mall, each floor contained the same shops, and the fifth floor only had high-end restaurants that ordinary people could not afford.
Furthermore, people would only have a small gathering including three to five people here.
So, it was rare to see someone bring a dozen kids to dine.
Olivia was stunned when she saw the decoration of this floor. She trotted to Harvey and whispered, "I can't afford to eat here! It must be so expensive!"Harvey patted her head gently.
"Don't worry. Big brother has money!"
"But.."
Before Olivia could say something,Harvey made a promise to his little sisters.
"Let's eat here!"
"Great!
Teresa raised both of her hands in the sky.
And the rest of the sisters marched inside.
"Harvey, I..."
Harvey directly interrupted Olivia.
"Don't worry!"
Olivia was sour. She wondered if this meal would cost all her savings and she was not reluctant to do it.
Even though she didn't know the exact price of the food, she had an inkling that this was not a meal that her piggy bank could handle.
The waitress at the door was surprised to see Harvey and the others.
She quickly contained herself and asked, "How many guests?"
There was no contempt or disdain in the waiter's eyes but a pleased,welcoming smile on her face.
Harvey was pleased with the waitress' professionalism.
"Thirteen."
We would like to have a private dining room. You have a chef to roast the meat for us,right?"
Harvey inquired while leading his sisters inside.
"Yes. After you order your food, a chef will help you cook the meat."
The waitress showed them a spacious private dining room.Then she put down the thick menu on the table.
Harvey passed it to Olivia and grinned,
"Just order anything you like! My treat!"
After Olivia helped the kids to sit on the chairs, she sat down and began to study the menu.
The minute she saw the food on the first page, her head became dizzy.
