Half an hour later.

The two arrived at the entrance of the internet café.

Lin Feng parked the car and walked directly into the café.

"Here, here!"

As soon as they entered, they saw Sun Yu at a computer nearby, shouting while waving them over.

The two walked over, hearing Sun Yu complain.

"Why are you guys just getting here? We’ve already finished a match!"

"Sorry, sorry, there was some traffic!"

Jiang Anmin said a bit apologetically.

Just earlier, he insisted Lin Feng take the long way, wanting to feel the sensation of a sports car, but ended up on a heavily congested road, experiencing traffic instead of the thrill of the car.

Only then did Lin Feng notice that besides Sun Yu, there were two other guys from their class.

Lin Feng nodded slightly to them as a greeting.

At this moment, Old Jiang, Jiang Anmin, said to Lin Feng.

"Brother Feng, have a seat first. I’ll go start up the computer and buy some snacks and drinks for everyone."

After saying that, he sprinted off to the counter.

Not long after.

He came back with a bunch of snacks.

After putting down the snacks, Jiang Anmin mysteriously pulled a pack of Chinese cigarettes from his pocket.

He opened it and started sharing them with everyone.

"Brother Feng, want one?"

Jiang Anmin said to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng reached out to take one, and Jiang Anmin quickly lit it for him.

"Snap..."

"Inhale... exhale..."

Lin Feng skillfully blew out a smoke ring.

"Wow, Brother Feng, that’s impressive!"

Jiang Anmin and the rest said.

Actually, in his previous life, Lin Feng was a smoker.

Partly because of Zhang Yuxi, and later due to a major family upheaval.

He was perpetually downcast until college, never without a cigarette.

In this new life, he hasn’t smoked; there’s so much good waiting, and he needs good health to enjoy it.

Smoking—they say it’s good, but it’s harmful to health.

Say it’s bad, but it can offer solace when overwhelmed by worries.

Lin Feng accepted Jiang Anmin’s cigarette because he felt smoking in an internet café just made sense.

The others saw Lin Feng smoking and all lit up, starting to puff away.

"Cough, cough..."

A guy who smoked for the first time got choked, making everyone burst into laughter.

Then they entered the game, with curses and cheers filling the air.

Call of Duty, currently the most popular shooting game, and the group went on a rampage together...

After several matches, Jiang Anmin shouted loudly.

"Can’t go on, can’t go on!"

"Haven’t played in so long, I’m dizzy! Let’s take a break, take a break..."

Then the group lit some cigarettes and snacked, starting to chat.

"Brother Feng, how about this time’s college entrance exam? Think you can score a perfect again?"

Jiang Anmin asked Lin Feng.

Sun Yu and the other three looked curious too.

After all, Lin Feng shocked everyone in the previous city-wide exam!

They’re all curious if he can repeat the feat!

"Well, it’s alright, I’m somewhat confident, but it depends when the scores come out, it’s too early to say now."

Lin Feng casually said, exhaling smoke.

"Awesome!!"

Seeing Lin Feng say this, it seemed very likely he would indeed excel.

Because Lin Feng always followed through on his words.

Everyone expressed their envy.

Then they began to discuss the upcoming university life, imagining how it would be...

At this moment, a young man with a street look in the distance tossed his headphones on the computer table and cursed.

"Damn! Lost again, what kind of crappy luck today!! Can’t believe I died!"

Their attention was drawn.

Lin Feng recognized the guy from his past life; he was from his neighborhood, a dropout wandering the streets, idling, wanting to be a big shot.

Later, reportedly won a lottery, turning from a petty thug to a rich man, bought a luxury car, living wildly until he squandered it all, accruing debts and eventually fleeing...

Lin Feng recalled, he won the lottery around this time.

Hmm! Interesting, who doesn’t love sudden fortune?

Lin Feng decided to follow him, see when he buys a ticket, and seize the chance to earn some quick cash—money never hurts.

Ignoring sudden fortune might cost you lifespan!

Lin Feng now gazed at the youth as if seeing a god of wealth!

The youth noticed Lin Feng watching.

He glanced at Lin Feng, cursing.

"What are you looking at, kiddo? Want me to bash you?"

Lin Feng didn’t get angry, just smiled, grabbing Jiang Anmin’s leftover cigarettes and a drink, walking over.

He handed the youth a cigarette, smiling.

"Hey, why so upset? Have some water, take a smoke."

The youth was left bemused by Lin Feng’s gesture.

He dazedly accepted the water and cigarette from Lin Feng.

There’s a saying: you don’t hit someone with a smiling face, so the youth restrained himself from cursing.

He asked curiously.

"Buddy, do we know each other?"

"Oh, I know you; we live in the same neighborhood, met before."

Lin Feng said casually.

"Oh, that makes sense, you seemed familiar."

The guy said.

"If you ever have trouble, use my name, Zhang Hu, nobody will touch you!"

Zhang Hu, smoking, said.

"Alright, much appreciated, Brother Hu!"

Lin Feng replied with a smile. "No worries, we’re family."

Zhang Hu waved his hand.

After chatting briefly, Lin Feng went back.

Just sitting down, Jiang Anmin whispered.

"Brother Feng, you know that punk? Why bother pleasing him?"

"Yeah, met him once."

Lin Feng said casually.

This is a chance for fortune, and Lin Feng hoped this would lead to a windfall.

"Oh."

Seeing Lin Feng not explain further, Jiang Anmin and the others let it go, continuing their game.

Soon, Zhang Hu got up to leave.

Lin Feng’s heart moved, and he asked.

"Brother Hu, leaving already?"

Zhang Hu saw it was Lin Feng and replied.

"Damn, no idea what’s up, lost every game, kept getting shot, who knows what bad luck’s hit today, I’m done, going to buy some lottery tickets, change my luck."

After saying this, Zhang Hu waved and turned to leave.

Hmm?

Hearing about the lottery, Lin Feng’s eyes lit up.

Feigning indifference, he told Jiang Anmin and the others he had to leave.

They were engrossed in the game, not paying much attention, nodded, and continued playing.

Lin Feng quietly slipped out, trailing Zhang Hu, the fortune-bringer...
