Song Jiang University.

In the female dormitory.

Zhou Xinlei was stunned when she saw the 2,000 yuan in her phone wallet.

Where did Zhou Tianhao get the money from?

Turning around just like that?

2,000 yuan was not a small amount for a fresh graduate.

She knew that her brother was doing power leveling for other people.

She knew a little about this.

The price of ordinary orders was low and could only sustain food and clothing.

Most of the high-priced orders were for professional players. For example, there was a monthly package that only allowed players to play with their sponsors for a month. They could not play with anyone else and had to be on standby at any time.

She couldn’t help but send Zhou Tianhao a message.

“You’re not being kept, are you?”

[1 message has been recalled.]

“Brother, did you get a big order?”

Brother: “???”

“Get lost!”

“Alright.”

Seeing that Zhou Tianhao was straightforward, she was relieved.

He would only give a long speech when he was lying or scolding her.

As for where the money came from, she believed that Zhou Tianhao obtained it in a legitimate way.

She believed that with her brother’s ability, it might be a little difficult for her to get a lot of money, but a little money should not be a problem.

Ever since she was young, she had always admired Zhou Tianhao from the bottom of her heart, especially when it came to games. It was as if he was a cheat and could understand all kinds of games.

She had asked her classmate before. Her classmate took a month to clear the same game, whereas Zhou Tianhao did it in a week. She was shocked.

As for herself… Zhou Tianhao gave her a very accurate evaluation. She was a noob who enjoyed playing the game.

However, this didn’t bother her as she cherished the virtual world. Occasionally, she would spend an entire day immersed in the game without any specific objective.

Her aspiration was to one day create a similar world using her own abilities.

Therefore, her major in university was game design.

If she couldn’t defeat others, then she would set the rules!

…

In the rented house.

Zhou Tianhao had already downloaded a few mobile games.

He spent the entire afternoon immersed in the world of mobile games.

However, the experience was not as good as he had imagined.

At first, he found it quite novel.

However, when he started playing, he realized that it was completely different from what he had imagined.

He was accustomed to using the keyboard controller and struggled with using only two fingers on the screen.

Despite being a beginner, he relied on his own instincts and was able to defeat his opponents.

However, he felt like he was trapped in a cage, unable to fully utilize his skills.

This feeling was a little painful for him. After thinking about it for a while, he quit the mobile game. He didn’t want to continue torturing himself.

Of course, he didn’t think that mobile games were trash. He respected mobile gamers. Everyone had different habits, so he just had to choose what he liked. There was no need to force him.

It was already late. Considering that he still had to go to Brother Monkey Studio tomorrow to livestream the installation of the computer, Zhou Tianhao decided to rest early.

Zhou Tianhao opened the last bucket of pickled cabbage noodles in the house and poured hot water into it. He brought it to the computer and started playing cards while eating.

At ten o’clock in the evening, he finished washing up after losing all his beans. He lay in bed and recalled his experience today. He could not help but sigh.

The title, the system, and the Face Slapping Lottery were all things that he did not dare to think about in the past.

Now that he thought about it, it still felt like a dream. It felt like everything was so unreal.

“Damn it, am I really dreaming?”

Zhou Tianhao felt his heart palpitating as he opened the Face Slapping Lottery System.

Even though he did not have enough Face Slapping Points to draw the lottery, when he saw the gaudy lottery interface that was full of disadvantages, his heart instantly calmed down.

He was also a system holder, he really was!

The anxiety in his heart dissipated instantly. Zhou Tianhao closed his eyes and entered a peaceful dream…

The next day, Zhou Tianhao woke up at 6 am. He felt refreshed. He had never slept so soundly before.

After washing up, Zhou Tianhao went to the fried noodles shop.

The fried noodles shop was for breakfast and lunch, so it opened early.

“Young man, you’re up so early. What do you want to eat?”

The uncle greeted him warmly when he saw him.

“I want some rice noodles with pork offal.”

He needed to drink fluids early in the morning, so Zhou Tianhao ordered one with soup.

“Alright, wait a moment.”

The middle-aged man nodded and immediately got busy. Soon, he placed a bowl of steaming hot pork offal rice noodles in front of Zhou Tianhao.

“Enjoy, young man.”

“Thank you.”

Zhou Tianhao picked up the disposable bamboo chopsticks on the table and held them in his palm. He rubbed the table and the packaging fell off.

He rubbed the bamboo sticks together to remove the thorns before holding them in his hands to enjoy the delicious food.

The savory and delicious pork offal, the smooth and delicate rice noodles, and the soup base that was overflowing with the fragrance of scallions, he ate the noodles and meat happily.

Soon, he finished the pork offal and noodles and drank a few mouthfuls of soup. Zhou Tianhao stood up in satisfaction and walked to the counter.

Zhou Tianhao scanned the QR code with his phone and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. He turned to the uncle and asked.

“Uncle, do you still remember the question from yesterday?”

The middle-aged man was stunned. “Are you talking about how much your phone costs?”

Zhou Tianhao nodded.” I can answer you now.”

“…”

The uncle was confused. He could not understand what this boy in front of him was trying to do.

Why did he have to wait a day to answer such a question?

‘Is there something wrong with your brain?’

Zhou Tianhao didn’t care about the uncle’s pitying gaze. He continued, “I remember you said yesterday that my phone only costs two to three thousand yuan?”

“Yeah, why?”

Zhou Tianhao took out a receipt from his pocket and slammed it on the counter.

“What is this?”

The uncle picked it up in confusion and saw the price of a mobile phone on the receipt: 10899 yuan.

“Pa! Face Slapping Points +1!”

Zhou Tianhao smiled and left the shop.

“Hey! Your receipt!”

The uncle came back to his senses and waved the receipt in his hand, but Zhou Tianhao in the distance seemed to not hear him and quickly disappeared around the corner.

Seeing that he had left, the uncle took the receipt and complained, “What kind of person is he?”

After saying that, he could not help but look at the price on the receipt and muttered, “Damn, are cell phones so expensive now?”

“This f*cking expensive phone. Could it be that he was telling the truth when he said that he earned 100,000 yuan?”

Thinking of this, the uncle looked outside.

The streets in the early morning were cold and quiet. There were only a few people walking around. Where was the boy’s figure?

Suddenly, the uncle’s body trembled and goosebumps appeared. He quickly threw the receipt into the trash can and spat again. He cursed, “It’s so early in the morning. What bad luck!”

..

On the way back, Zhou Tianhao bought some snacks. When he returned home, it was already 7:30 in the morning.

At this moment, Brother Monkey sent a message.

“Brother, we’ll be there soon. We’ll arrive around nine o’clock.”

“OK.”

After replying, Zhou Tianhao opened his Goose Speed chat group.

He wanted to maximize the benefits of this live broadcast.
