nAlthough Old Zhang complained, he was very curious. The leader knew that the reporter Xiao Wang was interviewing him, but he still called him. ‘What exactly is the reason?’

n

nThus, he put his hands behind his back and pretended to walk around casually. He moved a few steps towards the reporter, Xiao Wang and pricked up his ears to listen.

n

nJust then, he heard Xiao Wang say in disbelief, “Sir, are you kidding me?”

n

n“Two people actually won the first prize in this lottery, and that person won five million yuan?”

n

n“Oh my God! This is incredible! Can I apply to interview the winner who won five million yuan?”

n

n“What? He refused to accept the interview? Okay then…”

n

nOld Zhang was dumbfounded.

n

nHe had been struggling for 30 years to win 50,000 yuan on this set of winning numbers, but the other person won five million yuan, which was a hundred times as much as the amount he won!

n

n‘What on earth is this!’

n

nOld Zhang felt that the 50,000 yuan he won instantly became less attractive.

n

nThe reporter Xiao Wang hung up the phone and came back to say to Old Zhang, “Grandpa Zhang, I’m sorry to interrupt you at the last minute. Um… shall we continue?”

n

nAlthough his mind was filled with the mysterious man who had won five million yuan, since he refused to accept any interviews, he could only give up and focus on the interview in front of him.

n

nBut how could Old Zhang still be in the mood to continue talking?

n

n“I heard what you said over the phone just now.”

n

nOld Zhang asked listlessly, “I just want to know, how long has the man who won five million yuan, been buying lottery tickets for?”

n

nIf he had persevered for decades, or even longer than him, Old Zhang would feel a little better.

n

nXiao Wang couldn’t bear to tell the truth.

n

nHowever, he remembered that he was a reporter after all, so he couldn’t just lie casually. Hence, he bit the bullet and replied, “It seems that it was the first time that person bought a lottery ticket.”

n

n“What???”

n

nOld Zhang was flabbergasted.

n

nHe had worked hard for so many years, withstanding the opposition of his family, the ridicule of his relatives, and the puzzlement of his friends..

n

nIn the end, he only won 50,000 yuan.

n

nTo make matters worse, that mysterious person hadn’t experienced any hardships at all. It was purely a spur of the moment that he had bet on a random number and yet, he won five million yuan.

n

nOld Zhang found it unreasonable.

n

nIt was too unfair!

n

nThe more Old Zhang thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He felt that he would rather not win any money than win those 50,000 yuan.

n

nAt this time, Lin Bai just happened to be returning home from his trip to the lottery station to claim his prize. When he passed by the entrance of the residential estate, he found Old Zhang as listless as a frosted eggplant.

n

nHence, he guessed that Old Zhang must have heard that someone had won five million yuan.

n

nIt was a hundredfold difference. No wonder Old Zhang was so listless.

n

nLin Bai gave Old Zhang a sympathetic look.

n

nIn an instant, a robotic notification sounded in Lin Bai’s mind.

n

n Beep, the Future-Changing System has detected that the target host has successfully rewritten the future. The test has been passed. The system is automatically binding…

n

n Binding successful.

n

nReward: 1 X God-level Close-Combat Skill.

n

nLin Bai was stunned.

n

nHe had thought that he had only gotten an app, but he had not expected it to come with a system.

n

nHe just did not know how powerful the “God-level Close-Combat Skill” that the system rewarded was.

n

nBased on the name, it sounded quite powerful, but the actual effect would only be known after he tests it out.

n

nIn the blink of an eye, it was Monday. Lin Bai went back to school to attend classes.

n

nAs soon as he entered the classroom, his roommate eagerly bombarded him with questinos.

n

n“Boss, Boss, have you seen the news? Someone in our city won five million!”

n

n“And I heard that he bought the lottery ticket on the spur of the moment. He didn’t have the habit of buying lottery tickets in the past.”

n

n“Tell me, why is his luck so good?”

n

n“If I had half his luck, I would be able to wake up from a dream with a smile.”

n

nHis other classmate, Lao Si, also echoed in from the side.

n

n“Exactly! His luck is really heaven-defying!”

n

n“I wonder how many old ladies that person has helped cross the road before he can accumulate such heaven-defying luck.”

n

n“I don’t think it’s necessarily accumulated. Maybe it’s overdrawn? Maybe he’ll use up the rest of his life’s luck.”

n

n“Hahaha, doesn’t that mean he won’t have any more seasoning packets to go with his instant noodles?”

n

n“He already won five million, why would he still need to eat instant noodles?”

n

n“Haha, that’s true. In this case, I’m willing to use the instant noodle supply for the rest of my life in exchange for a chance to win the lottery!”

n

nThe few of them suppressed their voices and chatted happily. They were not in the mood to listen to what the teacher on the podium was saying.

n

nLao Er couldn’t help but exclaim, “If I could have that much money… no, even if it’s only half of that amount, I would definitely quit school immediately and go home to play games!”

n

nOnce these words were said, Lao San and Lao Si immediately agreed.

n

n“That’s right, that’s right. With so much money, who would bother to go to school!”

n

n“The life of lying in bed and counting money every day, just thinking about it makes me envious…”

n

nLin Bai couldn’t help but laugh. If they knew that he was the one who had really won the lottery and that he was still obediently going to school as usual, would their jaws drop?

n

nHowever, at least half of the reason that Lin Bai was still going to school as usual was because of his new girlfriend, Yu Jinmo.

n

nThinking of the girl blushing when she was confessing her love to him, Lin Bai couldn’t help but smile. The sweetness from the bottom of his heart surged to the corners of his eyes and brows.

n

nLao San saw the smile on Lin Bai’s face and asked jokingly, “Hey, Boss, there’s something wrong with your expression! Which girl are you thinking about?”

n

nWithout waiting for Lao San to answer, Lao Si said first, “Who else can he be thinking of? It must be Yu Jinmo, the number one beauty of our school!”

n

n“Speaking of which, Boss, you’re really awesome. You can make the school belle woo you!”

n

n“You can even make her take care of you for more than half a month while you were hospitalized for appendicitis!”

n

n“How did you do it? Come teach us!”

n

nThe moment the matter of Yu Jinmo courting Lin Bai was brought up, everyone instantly became interested.

n

nEven the five million grand prize that they just had talked about earlier seemed to have lost its attraction all of a sudden.

n

nCompared to the illusory matter of winning the lottery, they still wanted to know how to gain the favor of the beauties around them, or even make the other party woo them instead.

n

nHowever, Lao San’s question really stumped Lin Bai.

n

nBecause he didn’t know why Yu Jinmo would lower herself and woo him.

n

nHe clearly didn’t do anything. He didn’t even take the initiative to speak to her.

n

nIf he had to say the reason…

n

nLin Bai touched his face and said, “Maybe it’s because I’m handsome.”

n

n“F*ck! Shameless!”

n

nThe other three people in the same room cursed at the same time.

n

nAlthough they said that, they had to admit that Lin Bai was indeed handsome enough to make the school belle chase after him.

n

n“Sigh, if you’re ugly, you should study more. Let’s study hard.”

n

nLao Er accepted his fate and opened the textbook before jotting down notes.

n

nLao Si muttered, “I don’t want to win any big prizes now. I just want to use this luck to exchange for good looks.”

n

n“Wake up,” he said, “You don’t have that kind of luck.”

n

n“….”
