Yang Yong Kang had never been this nervous.
“Special number, 15.”
“The lottery numbers are: 02, 04 12, 14, 17, 24 & 15.”
…
Yang Yong Kang’s mind was blank as if something had smashed his head. But at that moment, Yang Yong Kang suddenly remembered what little boss had told him.
“Mr. Yang, you must buy the lottery ticket when you reach the school. Your luck is off the charts.”
“How would he know? Unless little boss really knew how to read people’s fortunes?”
Yang Yong Kang was stunned. Even if he didn’t believe it, he still had to.
Luck?
Although Yang Yong Kang sort of believed in it, the person who told him that was Little Boss. If it wasn’t Little Boss who told him that, he wouldn’t even stop at the lottery centre.
He would also never have bought lottery tickets in the first place.
Yang Yong Kang rubbed his eyes as he analyzed the numbers on the TV screen. He then looked at his own lottery ticket.
The numbers matched.
*Grunting noises*
Yang Yong Kang gulped. He wasn’t going to be able to sleep tonight.
…
“Mr. Yang, you should listen to yourself and continue to buy lottery tickets, right?” Lin Fan had initially wanted to use Mr. Yang as an experiment to test his fortune telling skills but now he didn’t have to anymore.
Lin Fan could safely say that his fortune-telling abilities were nothing that he imagined- it was capable of defying the laws of nature.
He was going to reach greater heights from now on.
“Right, I’ll just read your fortune. Nothing too complicated.” Lin Fan suddenly realized that something was amiss when he read Mr. Yang’s fortune.
“What is going on? I thought I read that Mr. Yang had unparalleled luck? How did it turn into a smooth sailing life? This wasn’t logical at all.”
Lin Fan couldn’t make sense of it, so he brushed it off. Maybe he’ll understand it in the future.”
Lin Fan took out his phone and accessed Weibo to catch up on the happenings around him.
“Damn. My fan base only increased by 6 followers? That’s way too little.” Lin Fan was disappointed. The name that he had was not too bad. Why didn’t the number of viewers match up?”
Lin Fan saw two comments on his post.
Username: Autumn Sword Fish Killer: HAHA! The fortune tellers of today have finally caught up with technology and have started using Weibo as a site to do business. How retarded!
Lin Fan wasn’t too happy to see that comment. That user was just out to humiliate him.
Lin Fan laughed as he read the second comment. There were still people who believed in him.
Weibo user, ‘Joy in Chaos’: Wang Ming Yang, Male, born on 4th October 1991, born between 3-5 pm. Please read my fortune.”
Lin Fan’s post had been there for just an afternoon, and there was already one person who wanted their fortune read. It wasn’t a bad start after all
Lin Fan started calculating and reading his fortune following the data that the person provided.
The encyclopedia was awesome. Fortune telling was so easy with it.
“Oh? This person’s fortune reading looks good. Looks like everything is fated.”
Now wasn’t the time to be in awe. Lin Fan immediately got on with sending a reply.
“Your desire to gamble will take control over you, and will make you bankrupt.”
This wasn’t too direct, but any sensible person could directly tell what it meant.
After Lin Fan made a few corrections, he sent out another Weibo post.
“Free online fortune readings, last two days!”
Lin Fan immediately closed his Weibo after he did that as he prepared to sleep. His fortune telling journey would officially begin tomorrow.
Lin Fan was so contented with the encyclopedia. It was almost a dream come true.
Lin Fan was like any other young person who wanted to get rich. However, he had to put in a lot of hard work to achieve that.
If he wanted to make a fortune, all he had to do was to take Mr. Yang’s lottery ticket. After all, it was as simple as conning Mr. Yang of his lottery ticket after he had bought it. It wasn’t difficult to pull off for Lin Fan, but it would be a major dick move if he did that.
