As the sun dipped below the skyline, a flashy luxury sports car came to a stop at the gate of Modu University, drawing curious stares from passing students.
Inside the car, Nathaniel Moore leaned back in his seat, feeling on top of the world. Watching the envy in those glances from young people walking by, he couldn’t help but smile.
Just a few days ago, he never would've imagined himself pulling up to a university in a car worth tens of millions.
Everything changed yesterday.
After donating 10,000 yuan on a fundraising platform, something unbelievable happened—a mysterious system called the "Pickup System" linked itself to him.
Thanks to this system, Nathaniel could now spot transparent spheres floating around people—things nobody else could see. All he had to do was reach out and touch one, and whatever was stored inside it would instantly become his.
In just one day, his world flipped upside down.
He bagged a hundred million in cash, a Lamborghini Aventador, a Porsche Panamera, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and—most insane of all—300 apartment units in top school districts.
With his life taking off like a rocket, Nathaniel couldn’t wait to share the news with the one person who mattered most—his sister, Sophia Moore.
That’s why he was now parked in front of her university, ready to give her a surprise.
The Moore siblings didn’t come from a wealthy background. Their parents weren’t well-educated, but they worked tirelessly to raise their family.
Fortunately, both Nathaniel and Sophia were hard-working and made it to college, making their parents proud.
Sophia had even gotten into Modu University, one of the top-tier 985 schools. Her future looked bright.
In comparison, Nathaniel’s situation had been less promising. He graduated too—from a third-rate college. But in a city as competitive as Modu, that degree hadn’t opened many doors.
Well, not anymore.
Sitting in his flashy car, he glanced at the time. He’d already called Sophia earlier and told her to meet him at the gate. She should be arriving any minute.
Back home, everyone knew about the Moore siblings—not just for their grades, but also for their looks.
Nathaniel could pass under the radar most of the time—being a guy helped with that. But Sophia constantly had unwanted attention. Pretty girls attract trouble, no matter how many times they say they’re not interested.
She’d made it clear she wasn’t going to date during college, but suitors still swarmed around her like moths to a flame.
Right now, she was packing her stuff in the library. After hanging up with Nathaniel, she quickly closed her book and rushed toward the campus gate.
But halfway across the central plaza, someone stepped in front of her.
Adrian Wallace. He was a star over in the finance department—a campus celebrity, really.
He’d had his eyes on Sophia ever since meeting her at the student council recruitment event. And ever since, he kept “bumping into” her, no matter how many times she told him she wasn’t interested.
With internship season coming up, he’d started panicking. Once they were out in the real world, opportunities to woo her would shrink fast.
So today, he went all out. A carefully staged confession—in a high-traffic area, with witnesses.
His plan? Use public pressure to get a yes.
What he didn’t count on was Sophia being way tougher than he thought.Standing in front of Adrian Wallace, the seemingly gentle Sophia Moore spoke with an icy tone, “Stop chasing me. It’s pointless. I just want to focus on my studies right now.”
With that, she snatched the bouquet from his hands and tossed it hard onto the ground.
Adrian’s face darkened instantly at the sharp rejection. Watching her walk away without hesitation, his chest filled with rage.
“Tch... Acting all holier-than-thou,” he muttered bitterly, his eyes flashing cold with resentment. The embarrassment of being denied so bluntly, especially in public, stoked his anger even more.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel Moore, who had been waiting at the gate for a while, finally got out of his car, unable to wait any longer.
The moment he stepped out of the luxurious Lamborghini, every eye turned to him.
“Whoa, that face! Movie-star level!”
“Isn’t that a seven-figure car? At least a few million!”
“He looks like he came straight out of a drama—rich and good-looking.”
“Girls, look! A real-life Prince Charming just showed up!”
Nathaniel felt a bit awkward under their constant stares—this kind of spotlight wasn’t something he was used to.
Nearby, a group of guys stood around, their eyes glued to the car and its driver.
“Unbelievable... Looks, money—he’s got it all. Some people are just born lucky.”
Driving a sleek sports car was already eye-catching, and with Nathaniel’s stunning looks, it was no surprise he was drawing in stares left and right.
“Come on, girls, get real. He’s clearly here waiting for someone.”
“Ugh, I know! Let me at least dream a little! A guy like that wouldn’t ever look my way anyway…”
Two girls nearby whispered with a mix of excitement and envy, sneaking glances at Nathaniel every few seconds.
At that moment, Nathaniel’s gaze fixed on someone—Sophia, walking quickly out from campus.
“Sophia! Over here!”
He raised his hand to wave at her.
Though her expression was still tight from earlier, the second she saw her brother, her whole mood changed. A bright smile spread across her face, and she practically lit up.
The students around them followed Nathaniel’s gaze, murmuring even louder now.
“Isn’t that Sophia Moore from Business Management? She’s like, THE campus beauty.”
“That’s her! Loads of guys tried to date her, but she always said she wasn’t into relationships during school.”
“Wait, WAIT—is HE the one she’s meeting? The guy with the car?”
Whispers flew through the crowd, shock all over the students’ faces.
“No way… Sophia’s not the type to care about money.”
“C’mon now. Who doesn’t want to live well? If it were me, I wouldn’t waste time on broke college boys either.”
In the middle of all the buzz, Sophia calmly walked up to Nathaniel and, without hesitation, hooked her arm into his.
With a soft smile, she said, “You actually had time to come see me today?”
That one moment was enough to break the hearts of every guy who’d ever liked her.
“Knew it... That car was here for her.”
“They look so close... definitely something going on there.”
“Guess it’s over for me. Didn't she say she was all about studying? This is a total slap in the face…”
As murmurs erupted all around, Nathaniel and Sophia became the absolute center of attention.
