Chapter 2 System Lottery
After thinking for a while, Zhou Huai finally decided to tell Sun Yichang that in his past life he kept everything to himself, which is why he had so many regrets.
"Fishball, I can tell you the reason, but you can't tell anyone else, and you can't laugh at me."
Fish Ball, that's the nickname Zhou Huai gave her.
Sun Yichang's eyes lit up and she immediately nodded.
"Okay, I promise I won't tell anyone or laugh at you."
"During winter break, I took on a female apprentice in Pokémon Origins, and we got along really well..."
Speaking of this, Zhou Huai himself felt a little embarrassed.
In his past life, he was stubborn and refused to turn back even after hitting a wall. It wasn't until he was tricked into being heavily in debt and almost kidnapped to the Whirlpool Islands to be a "coolie" that he finally woke up.
"You're having an online romance?"
Sun Yichang opened her mouth slightly, somewhat surprised.
"Um."
Zhou Huai nodded and continued.
"Some time ago, she suddenly told me that she was sick and had an optic nerve glioma. The tumor was very large and she needed to have surgery as soon as possible, otherwise her life would be in danger, but she was still short a lot of money for the surgery."
"No wonder, you're much more studious than I am."
Sun Yichang suddenly realized.
"Actually... I still don't know if the other person is a woman or not."
Zhou Huai gave a wry smile.
Sun Yichang's eyes widened even more. "Huh???"
"This afternoon, I went to the bank's ATM to transfer money to her again, but the machine was broken, so I called the bank's customer service."
"Then a staff member came to repair it. After it was fixed, he told me that there was a problem with the bank card number, that it was an overseas account, and warned me to be careful of telecom fraud."
"I was skeptical at the time, but I still called the police. It turned out to be a scam."
Zhou Huai spoke calmly, as if he were telling someone else's story.
"Zhou Huai, you're so naive to believe what you read online. But there are definitely a lot of scammers online these days. I played your game over the weekend and tried to buy a Pokémon egg, but I got scammed too."
Sun Yichang was somewhat indignant.
"What kind of egg do you want? I'll get it for you later."
Zhou Huai scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
"Let's talk about it later. How much money did you lose? Is it possible to get it back?"
"I haven't calculated it; it's probably not going to be recovered."
Zhou Huai spoke casually, even with a hint of relief.
"It's okay, money can be earned back. Just consider it a lesson learned."
Compared to selling the house and incurring a lot of debt in the previous life, this life only resulted in a small loss, making it a huge profit.
"You're quite open-minded."
Sun Yichang couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing her smile, Zhou Huai's heart stirred, and he spoke up.
"Fishball, can I come over for dinner tonight? I'm out of money right now, and we've run out of food at home."
He wanted to create more opportunities for them to be alone together.
Zhou Huai knew that Sun Yichang's parents did business in Yanmo City all year round, while her brother was studying at university in Yuanzhu City, and she usually lived alone at home.
Sun Yichang hesitated for a moment, but seeing Zhou Huai's pitiful look, her heart softened and she agreed, "Okay."
"Fishball, you're so kind. I'll definitely repay you in the future."
Zhou Huai immediately laughed.
Stop making empty promises and get back to your exam.
Sun Yichang felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, turned her face away, and took out a tutoring book from her desk to read.
Zhou Huai nodded, outwardly unfolding the test paper, but secretly in his heart he muttered, "Open the system interface."
The light blue panel reappeared.
"System, can others see this interface?"
[Master, no one else can see this.]
"What if I use my hands to gesture and point?"
Don't worry, others will only see the owner spacing out.
"That's good." Zhou Huai was relieved. "System, open the system lottery."
[Okay, master. 】
The next moment, a huge virtual roulette wheel appeared before his eyes, with distinct colors and clear areas.
Talent (1%)
Special props (11%)
Martial arts manuals (11%)
Random skill experience book (33%)
Disposable items (44%)
"lottery."
【OK. 】
The roulette wheel spun rapidly, its light and shadow flashing. Zhou Huai silently said "Stop" in his mind, and the wheel slowly came to a stop.
[Ding, system notification: Congratulations, host, you have obtained a

Just as Zhou Huai was about to continue smoking, Sun Yichang suddenly leaned over again, her tone slightly awkward.
"Wait a minute, Zhou Huai, you're actually quite a scumbag."
"Um?"
Zhou Huai was bewildered.
"Don't you like Chen Yao from Class 8 next door? You've been bringing her breakfast every day lately, and even lunch, as if you're afraid no one will know."
Sun Yichang spoke casually, but she was quite uncomfortable inside.
Zhou Huai understood immediately and quickly explained, "Fish Ball, you've misunderstood."
"What did I misunderstand? Tell me, I'm listening to your excuses."
Sun Yichang raised her chin, looking incredulous.
"I did like her before. I even confessed to her at the end of last semester, but she rejected me. Chen Yao told me that she already had someone she liked."
"Then why do you still bring her food every day?"
"Let me finish speaking first."
"Okay, go ahead."
"Chen Yao said that she was annoyed by too many people pursuing her, so she wanted to find someone to act as her 'exclusive simp' to ward off the others."
Zhou Huai was a little proud as he said this.
"After all, I'm handsome. Just standing there, people will back down."
"real?"
Sun Yichang was skeptical.
"Really, and she even pays her, fifty a day."
Zhou Huai took out his phone, opened the Alipay bill, and handed it over.
"Look, she transfers money over every night before she goes to bed."
Sun Yichang glanced at it; the bill was clearly recorded.
"So now that you know that the online boyfriend was a scammer, and you're not so short of money anymore, you won't be delivering food to Chen Yao again tomorrow, right?"
She was silent for a few seconds, then asked in a low voice.
"Sure, why not make money? I make breakfast myself anyway, so I can just cook an extra portion. I buy lunch outside. After deducting costs, I can make a net profit of over thirty a day."
Zhou Huai shook his head seriously.
"..."
Sun Yichang was speechless for a moment.
She's not his girlfriend now, so she has no right to interfere, and she's also aware of Zhou Huai's current situation.
Five years ago, Zhou Huai's parents traveled to the Orange Islands by airship, but the airship exploded en route, and their bodies were never recovered.
Although the airship company paid a large sum of compensation, his family originally ran a vegetable wholesale business, which had long payment cycles, and many debts had not yet been recovered.
However, as soon as the compensation was received, several suppliers took most of it under the pretext of "offsetting debts".
At that time, Zhou Huai was only in the first year of junior high school. He had no other relatives and was too young to know how to protect his rights. Most of the money that others owed his family was left unresolved.
In addition, his family was originally well-off, and he was used to spending money lavishly, often eating out and spending money on games. He squandered his money until his senior year of high school, when his family's savings were almost gone.
Don't be upset.
Seeing her sullen expression, Zhou Huai spoke softly.
"I'm not unhappy at all."
Sun Yichang is stubborn.
Looking at her proud and aloof demeanor, Zhou Huai's heart melted completely.
Sun Yichang cares about him.
She was jealous, at least when it came to delivering food to Chen Yao.
"Fish balls," Zhou Huai said seriously, "starting tomorrow, I'll send them to you too."
Sun Yichang's heart skipped a beat, and her face instantly broke into a smile as a hint of amusement crept onto her brow. She still tried to remain calm, saying, "You can give it to me if you want, but I won't give you any money."
Looking at her slightly reddened ear tips, Zhou Huai couldn't help but smile slightly.
It's so good to be reborn.
