Chapter 7


    Spoke of the devil and he woulde.


    At that very moment, Kolten rushed over to the three of them with his bag.


    “Sorry, I’mte! I was stuck at work. The damn director made me stay half an hourte without overtime


    pay. It’s really annoying!”


    “It’s okay. Let’s order food now! Excuse me!” Adrien called the waiter in a loud voice.


    “Whoa, Adrien, why are you dressed like that? What’s going on? You used to be frugal and save every


    penny. Now you’re wearing Fendi?” Kolten pushed up his sses in surprise.


    “It’s a long story!” Adrienughed. “Let’s order some food!”


    Adrien loved drinking and chatting with his three friends because it made him feel so real. During their


    conversation, he learned that none of them were living their ideal lives.


    Kolten became a designer and was forced to work overtime every day, while receiving less–than–


    adequatepensation.


    Kamron took some time off to travel before working at his parents‘panyst month. He had just


    gotten paid for the first time today and treated his friends to dinner.


    Gilberto became a salesperson at a Mercedes–Benz dealership.


    “What about you, Adrien? What are your ns for the future?”


    “Maybe I’ll start apany, have fun, and enjoy life. I was just bragging. But honestly, I have no idea


    what I want to do!”


    “Oh, crap. I actually believed you for a second! But you were just talking big!”


    They chatted until 9:30 pm when suddenly a news report on TV caught everyone’s attention.


    “We just received a piece of stunning news! A person in our city has just won the jackpot of 200 lottery


    tickets and will receive more than 150 million dors! This is thergest prize ever nationwide, and


    even around the world!”


    Adrien was smitten with the voice of the TV host.


    “What the hell! Did you guys hear that? Another millionaire was born in Reburg!” Kolten eximed.


    “Why bother to care about that? You are not the lucky dog! Let’s eat and drink up! If you guys want to


    buy cars in the future, don’t forget toe to me! The ce I work has every model of Mercedes–


    Benz! You guys can help me reach. sales quota too!” Gilberto said happily.

    Adrien left the table halfway through and paid the bill at the front desk. The meal cost 110 dors,


    leaving him with just a few dozen for a taxi ride home.


    They talked until after 11 pm before going home. Adrien felt reluctant to leave his college buddies, as


    he always felt like he saw them less and less often as they entered society. Sometimes they would only


    be able to see each other once every three or five years!


    Adrien checked his bnce as he went home and found he had only 30 cents left. Without hesitation,


    he bought a bottle of water. Spending all his money would upgrade the system!


    Watching the control panel in his mind go from level 1 to level 2, he saw that apart from the Prediction


    Key, the Blessing Key also lit up again.


    “Ding! The system has been sessfully upgraded to level 2, and the host will receive a cash reward


    of 150 thousand dors!”


    “Oh my! It increases by fifty times from level 2 to level 3! That means I’ll receive seven million dors


    from level 3 to level 4, right?”


    The system remained silent….


    Adrien went home excitedly and got washed up. Then, he took out the lottery that was worth 150


    million dors! Heughed with his mouth wide open, but he made no voice!


    Maybe due to the alcohol, Adrien still fell asleep soon, even though he had just won a jackpot.


    He didn’t wake up until the next morning and got up when the sunlight ring through the window


    became too much to


    bear.


    After quickly washing up and disguising himself with his shabby clothes, a mask, and a hat, Adrien took


    a cab to the lottery center of Reburg with his backpack.


    Inside the lottery center, an employee eximed, “Oh my god, sir! You won the lottery with the


    maximum sum in global history! Can I take a photo with you?”


    “Sorry, please redeem it for me first, Adrien refused.


    The employee was not upset by the refusal. They brought out a calctor and calcted the amount


    that Adrien won from the jackpot.


    “Sir, each winning ticket is worth 750 thousand dors! After the tax, each ticket is worth 600 thousand


    dors. As you bought 200 tickets, your total winnings are 120 million dors! We have some charity


    projects for welfare and education. Would you like to contribute?”


    “Give me 114 million dors and donate the remaining 6 million dors to the *onal project. Adrien


    made a quick


    decision. After the employee processed the procedures, Adrien took the check for more than 114


    million dors and quickly. left the lottery center.


    On the way to the bank, Adrien had a secret look at the check. It was issued by the Treasury Bank,


    which was one of thergest banks in the country. Therefore, he needed to go to the headquarters of


    the bank to open an ount and deposit the money.


    Since the bank was located near the lottery center, Adrien walked in, exined his purpose to the


    employee, and sat down to wait for his turn.


    Not long after, it was Adrien’s turn.

    The bank teller asked, “Hello, what can you?


    do


    “I want to open an ount and deposit some money,” Adrien replied.


    “Sir, please go to the automatic teller machine next door, and the manager will help you!”


    “I want to deposit a check,” Adrien said.


    “Oh, please give me the check,” the bank teller casually took Adrien’s check. nced at the amount on


    it, and was suddenly


    stunned.


    “Sir! Is this… your check?”


    “Of course! Whose else could it be?” Adrien replied.


    “Please wait for a moment. I will ask our president to serve you!”


    “Uh? I don’t think it’s necessary” Adrien didn’t care who served him. He just wanted them to process his


    request as soon as possible.


    Two minutester, the bank president ran over.


    “Hello, Mr. Higgins. I am the bank president, Hester West. It’s my pleasure to serve you. Since your


    deposit amount is huge, we have specially opened a ck card for you! From now on, you are the


    most distinguished customer of our bank!”


    “Okay,” Adrien replied.


    Hester operated theputer for a while and kept ncing at Adrien in secret. She wondered, “How


    can this guy, wearing ragged clothes, be so wealthy? Did he steal the check? But if a check for such a


    large amount of money was lost, it would certainly be reported.”


    “Sir, we need to fill in your work address. Can you tell me about it?” Hester tentatively asked.


    “Okay, then write down Corestar Group,” Adrien said.


    “Corestar Group???”


    Yep, any problems?”


    “May I ask what your position is in thepany?”


    “Do you really need so many details?” Adrien asked in a slightly displeased tone.


    “Yes, sir. Can you tell me your position?”


    “CEO.”


    “Ah? Sir, are you joking? This position needs to be verified!”


    “No problem!”
