9: After being dumped in Chapter 9, it seems like her luck started to turn around.

According to today's intelligence.

Luo Wei arrived at East Gate Pedestrian Street by taxi.

Perhaps because it was a weekday, the pedestrian street, which was usually bustling with activity, was now deserted.

There was only one Lottery Shop on this street, and Luo Wei spotted it from a distance.

Entering the Lottery Shop, Luo Wei instinctively looked for the Scratch-Off tickets mentioned in the intelligence.

Unexpectedly, one of the customers sitting in the shop actually recognized him.

"Luo Wei!"

"Huh?"

Looking in the direction of the voice.

Luo Wei saw a familiar shoehorn-shaped face. "Yang Wei?"

"So it really is you!" Yang Wei, with his shoehorn-shaped face, beamed brightly, but he remained seated in his chair without getting up.

Luo Wei and he were university classmates, but they weren't close.

"So you've started playing the lottery too, huh?"

Yang Wei chuckled. "I remember back in the day, when I invited you to bet with us, you said the lottery was a scam!"

That was right. Luo Wei had indeed said that.

Back then, Yang Wei was always leading a group of people to place bets and study the winning numbers.

Luo Wei, who needed to work part-time to support his studies, naturally had no spare money to buy lottery tickets.

"How's your luck?" Yang Wei was very curious about Luo Wei's situation.

"Have you ever won? What's the biggest prize you've gotten?"

Facing the questions, Luo Wei just smiled.

He didn't have a habit of buying lottery tickets.

The reason he entered the Lottery Shop today was entirely because he had obtained some intelligence.

In Yang Wei's eyes, Luo Wei's silence was an admission that he had never won.

Instantly, Yang Wei felt a surge of superiority.

He began to boast about his own situation quite proudly.

"You know, I've never actually lost money buying lottery tickets!"

"Although I haven't hit any big jackpots either, I keep winning small prizes constantly!"

"Ever since graduating from university, I haven't worked a single day. I just rely on buying lottery tickets, and I still make several thousand a month!"

Hearing this, Luo Wei quickly sized Yang Wei up.

The guy's clothes and shoes looked very old and worn.

His hair was a bit long, clearly untrimmed for at least a month or two.

He gave off the feeling of someone living a straitened life.

He didn't look at all like someone earning several thousand a month.

Of course, seeing through it but not saying it, Luo Wei had no need to expose his lie.

"You're really amazing!" Luo Wei casually flattered him. "How much have you won today?"

"So-so, just made two hundred bucks earlier!" Yang Wei declared quite proudly.

Hearing this, the Lottery Shop Owner, who was playing with his phone behind the counter, shot Yang Wei a disdainful glance.

Earlier, Yang Wei had spent two hundred yuan, carefully selecting several Scratch-Off tickets, only to end up scratching out nothing.

He had clearly lost two hundred yuan, yet he had the nerve to say he'd made two hundred!

"Luo Wei, are you planning to buy lottery tickets or..."

"I'm buying Scratch-Offs!"

"Heh heh, actually, there are tricks to buying Scratch-Offs too..."

Luo Wei pricked up his ears, wanting to hear the tricks for buying Scratch-Offs.

However, Yang Wei stopped halfway and didn't continue.

He had the cheek to declare, "If you give me a hundred yuan as a tuition fee, I don't mind teaching you the tricks. I guarantee you'll only lose, never win!"

Hah... If there really was a trick that guaranteed only losing, would you tell me?

Luo Wei mentally scoffed. He couldn't be bothered to engage with Yang Wei anymore.

He had already spotted the Scratch-Off ticket book mentioned in today's intelligence.

"Boss, could you take out that book of Happy Encounter Scratch-Offs, please."

"Handsome, do you want the whole book?" With a customer at hand, the boss quickly took out the book of Scratch-Offs.

"No, I'll just pick a couple at random." Luo Wei took the whole book and first flipped through it casually.

Then, he took out the third and fourth pages together. The reason he took an extra one was naturally to avoid making it seem like he knew which page would win.

Yang Wei, with his shoehorn-shaped face, couldn't help but lean in and blabber, "Those two you picked won't have any prizes!"

"Believe me, let me pick two for you. They're sure to win!"

"If they win, we'll split it fifty-fifty!"

Luo Wei gave a cold laugh and chose to ignore Yang Wei.

Being ignored, Yang Wei snorted and fell silent, preparing to watch Luo Wei make a fool of himself.

The two Scratch-Off tickets cost forty yuan in total. Luo Wei paid, then picked up the scraper placed nearby.

He scratched the fourth page first, while Yang Wei craned his neck to watch.

As soon as Luo Wei finished scratching all the numbers open, Yang Wei's face instantly turned ugly.

He could see at a glance that Luo Wei's Scratch-Off had won one hundred yuan!

Damn it, did this kid step in dog shit or something? Such good luck!

Luo Wei hadn't expected this one to win either.

He chuckled and scratched open the third page.

Yang Wei, whose face was already ugly, was now completely dumbstruck!

His eyes nearly popped out of his head. He saw that Luo Wei had won again, and this time it was ten thousand yuan!

"Heh heh..." Luo Wei glanced at Yang Wei. He didn't say a word.

But Yang Wei felt utterly mortified.

Just moments ago, he had insisted that the two Scratch-Offs Luo Wei picked wouldn't win.

Not only had Luo Wei won, but he had hit a big jackpot!

Yang Wei had been playing the lottery for so many years, and his biggest win was only a few hundred yuan. He dreamed of hitting a big jackpot!

He never imagined that a big jackpot would be scratched right before his eyes, and the winner was someone he knew. This feeling was truly unbearable!

Come to think of it, not long ago, he had also bought over a dozen Scratch-Offs. He had even picked up that very book of Happy Encounter Scratch-Offs.

But he had put it down in the end. He had almost won a five-figure jackpot himself!

"Boss, cash these in!"

"Sure thing! Young man, you've got great luck!"

The boss was quick and efficient, promptly helping Luo Wei cash in the prizes.

Soon, ten thousand one hundred yuan was transferred into Luo Wei's account.

Witnessing this scene, Yang Wei was so envious his dick was turning purple. He couldn't help but step forward to complain.

"Luo Wei, actually, I've lost a lot of money playing the lottery. Could you lend me ten thousand yuan?"

"I promise, once I hit a big jackpot, I'll definitely pay you back!"

Hearing this, Luo Wei instantly understood: Yang Wei had already degenerated into a Gambling Addict!

When you encounter a Gambling Addict, naturally, the farther away you stay, the better!

Luo Wei reached out and patted Yang Wei on the shoulder.

"You know, it's been a long time since we last met."

"Tell you what, you wait here. I'll go buy a few bottles of Wheat Juice, and we can chat while we drink!"

"Okay, okay, okay..." Yang Wei nodded ecstatically, then watched as Luo Wei left the Lottery Shop.

Witnessing this, the Lottery Shop Owner smiled knowingly. He knew Luo Wei had made a run for it.

Yang Wei, completely unaware he'd been tricked, was already mentally planning how he would splurge once he got the money.

He waited a good ten-plus minutes. When Luo Wei still hadn't returned, Yang Wei finally realized he'd been played!

Furious, he started cursing and wanted to call Luo Wei to unleash a torrent of abuse!

But then he realized he didn't even have Luo Wei's phone number!

Frustrated and angry, he could only run to their class group chat to rant!

"Luo Wei is such a scumbag! I guided him to buy Scratch-Offs and he won ten thousand yuan, yet he didn't give me even a bit of a finder's fee. What a heartless, ungrateful bastard!"

Almost everyone in the group knew what kind of person Yang Wei was. Everyone chose to ignore the message he sent.

Lin Fei was also in this group. Seeing that Luo Wei had won ten thousand yuan buying Scratch-Offs, she was instantly dumbfounded.

Last night, she had personally heard about Luo Wei making five thousand.

And today, he made another ten thousand!

It seemed that after she dumped him, Luo Wei had started to get lucky!

As this thought surfaced in her mind, Lin Fei immediately felt extremely uncomfortable...
