Of course, even though Henry Lincoln's older sister dropped out of school three years ago, she is now a branch manager at McDonald's. However, Henry Lincoln's family is still struggling financially. After all, Henry Lincoln's second sister, Olivia Lincoln, who is only one day older than him, is still a freshman in college, and her grades are much worse compared to their eldest sister. Olivia Lincoln attends the University of Utah, which is ranked outside the top 100 in the US, and she can't get any scholarships. Just her annual tuition and fees cost over ten thousand dollars. Plus, their youngest sister Julia Lincoln is still in high school, so just the tuition and fees for these two alone add up to nearly twenty thousand dollars a year. This is almost two-thirds of Hannah Lincoln's salary, and that's with Henry Lincoln already having dropped out of school. From this, you can see the state of the family after Henry Lincoln's parents passed away.

And this is also the most important reason why Henry Lincoln is now so obsessed with money and nothing else—because Henry Lincoln constantly wants to rescue his beloved eldest sister, his fierce second sister, and his clingy little sister from this difficult situation.

Although Henry Lincoln knows he is not his parents' biological son—his birth parents died fifteen years ago, in 1978, while trying to illegally immigrate to the US. In that special era, there were countless people fleeing to Hong Kong, Taiwan, or America. Some were lucky, some were not. Henry Lincoln's birth parents were among the unlucky ones, so he became an orphan and eventually ended up with another family from his village who had also come to the US illegally.

Even though Henry Lincoln doesn't truly belong to this family, neither his late parents nor his current eldest sister, second sister, or little sister have ever treated him as an outsider. So, in a way, this is Henry Lincoln's good fortune.

“Big sis, I’m home!”

Because he was ambushed during the day, and thanks to that damned system, Henry Lincoln came home very late today. By the time he got back, it was already ten o’clock. So when Henry Lincoln walked into his family’s third-floor apartment, the only light still on was in the bathroom; everywhere else was pitch black.

“I’m taking a shower, I’ll be out soon. I left some food for you in the kitchen, I’ll heat it up for you in a bit,” Henry Lincoln's sister’s sweet voice called out from the bathroom, making Henry Lincoln feel a wave of emotion.

It was obvious that his big sister had waited for him for too long, which was why she was only now taking a shower. Normally, she would go to bed right on time at nine o’clock, since her job at McDonald’s required her to get up very early every day.

“Big sis, you don’t have to rush, I’m not hungry!”

After saying this softly, Henry Lincoln tossed his gear bag onto the living room sofa and slumped down himself, feeling a bit defeated. He was truly exhausted today—whether it was his last day working for Ma Jian or the whole basketball legend system thing, both had left him physically and mentally drained.

“But my exhaustion is nothing compared to what big sis goes through. No matter what, I have to make sure she lives the best life possible!”

After zoning out on the sofa for a bit, Henry Lincoln quickly sat up and silently vowed to himself. As the second pillar of the family, Henry Lincoln now felt confident that he could replace his big sister as the main support of the household.

Just as Henry Lincoln was making this vow, a fresh fragrance wafted over. Henry Lincoln turned his head and saw his big sister Hannah Lincoln standing beside him, and for a moment, he was completely dazed.

It wasn’t as if he’d never seen a beautiful woman—after all, he’d spent the whole day looking at Aili, who was definitely a stunning beauty. But right now, the big sister standing next to Henry Lincoln was the one who truly made his heart race.

Like a lotus emerging from water, pure and elegant.

Seeing his big sister like this for the first time, Henry Lincoln suddenly had the urge to rush over and hug her tightly, to shower her with affection. But in the end, Henry Lincoln swallowed hard and forcibly suppressed this impulse.

“Big sis, I’m a bit tired, so I’ll skip dinner tonight!”

Finally, under his big sister’s confused and puzzled gaze, Henry Lincoln grabbed his backpack and fled into his room.

“This kid is still so impulsive!”

Watching Henry Lincoln's retreating figure, Hannah Lincoln sighed softly, a hint of disappointment in her heart.

……

……

“Hey, hey, coward, that beautiful woman just now was really stunning! The Information Synthesis Cyborg gave her a score of 98, which puts her in the top 10 in my entire system database. She’s only a little bit below me, the perfect 100-point beauty. Coward, go for her! If you do, you’ll definitely get an unexpected surprise!”

After Henry Lincoln hurriedly escaped to his bedroom, that “annoying” little girl’s voice once again echoed in his mind.

“My name is Henry Lincoln, not coward! And she’s my big sister—go after your own sister!”

Henry Lincoln growled in annoyance, but his heart skipped a beat. In reality, Hannah Lincoln had always been his ideal goddess. He had never thought about having her—not until today, at least—because he knew he wasn’t worthy of her.

But after encountering this system’s little girl, Henry Lincoln was surprised to find himself having such thoughts. Maybe, deep down, after getting this system that could make him stronger, his ambitions had started to grow.

“Oh, really!”
