Luck: 500 / 500
"Little Xi, this main character only has 500 Luck points?"
"Brother, Lin Feng is only the most Elementary main character, which is like a novice trial. He can be easily dealt with! Oh, Brother, would you like to view the background introduction for 'My Prodigy Life'?"
"Mm."
Ling Yun strode out, and Xia Yuwei, whose backpack was still in his hand, could only follow quickly.
The originally Trash main character, Lin Feng, one day accidentally saved an old man and received his true inheritance, the Fulong Heart Sutra. Cultivating this Mind-Cultivation Technique could strengthen the body, refine the physique, and develop the brain, allowing Lin Feng to rise from Trash to a life winner. Relying on the Fulong Heart Sutra, he went on a rampage, and after many twists and turns, he gradually reached the Peak of his life.
After listening, Ling Yun glanced at Xia Yuwei and secretly wondered, "Isn't Xia Yuwei the female lead? Why wasn't she mentioned?"
"Brother, the female lead is just an important female character connected to the main character, not someone with a deep affection for him. Not being mentioned means nothing happened between them, just like Xia Yuwei beside you. She is Lin Feng's white moonlight, but only a white moonlight."
"Since there wasn't much interaction between them, if something happens between me and Xia Yuwei, can it still suppress Lin Feng?"
"Yes."
Ling Yun's steps paused, and Xia Yuwei, who was walking with her head down, almost bumped into his back.
Ling Yun pulled Xia Yuwei over and cornered her against the wall, as the girl looked flustered.
"Xia Yuwei, you actually like me, right?"
"I… I don't…"
"Then do you dare to look into my eyes when you speak?"
The girl looked into his eyes, then immediately shifted her gaze: "Why should I look… Mmm!"
Her eyes suddenly widened, and the sensation on her lips made her realize that her first kiss had been stolen by the young man in front of her!
Lin Feng, who had returned for something, happened to see the two kissing and immediately froze on the spot.
He released the girl's lips and led the stiff-limbed girl away from there.
Due to Brother having an intimate relationship with the "female lead" Xia Yuwei, the "main character" Lin Feng's Luck has been reduced by 50 points. Current: 450 / 500!
Chapter 4: Seizing the Opportunity
Ling Yun hadn't expected to reduce Lin Feng's Luck by 50 points so easily.
It seemed this "main character" was quite fragile, after all, his script hadn't even begun yet.
Ling Yun saw his Opportunity, which meant his time was up.
Shizi Street is a bustling street not far from Haichuan University, and students from nearby schools often come here to shop.
Xia Yuwei on the side hadn't yet recovered from the kiss. She had no good feelings for Lin Feng and didn't know where he got her QQ number, insisting on returning the phone case pendant she had dropped. She was simply naive, but not stupid. To say Lin Feng had no thoughts about her was impossible.
"Ling Yun."
"Hmm?"
Ling Yun's thoughts were interrupted by her. Looking at the shy girl, he savored the taste of earlier and teased, "What's wrong, Campus Belle Xia?"
"What do you think of me…?"
"Huh?"
Her voice was like a mosquito's, and Ling Yun didn't hear it clearly. He took the girl's hand and led her to a Trash station.
"I'll get you a new phone case. That pendant of yours looks too cheap."
"I thought so too. I actually dropped it on purpose…" Xia Yuwei seemed a little embarrassed, "I didn't expect him to pick it up."
Ling Yun casually took out the sealed bag from his pocket and threw it into the Trash can: "Stay away from him in the future. Those types of people look honest, but they might be rotten inside."
"What about you?" Xia Yuwei stared straight at Ling Yun, "Are you also that kind of person?"
"Me? Of course not!"
"Ling Yun, did you kiss me just to provoke him, or… or…?"
Ling Yun watched her favorability gradually increase, knowing this was a critical moment. If he acted like a scumbag, her favorability wouldn't decrease much, after all, kissing was an intimate act, and the effect of the villain's charm was something she couldn't resist.
"I simply like you."
His words struck the girl's heart like a bolt from the blue. Xia Yuwei's body trembled, thinking she had misheard.
Ling Yun put her backpack back on, wrapped an arm around her waist, and pulled her proud figure close to his chest: "Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
"Are you serious?" Xia Yuwei's face was flushed, like a ripe apple, making Ling Yun want to kiss her again.
"I'm not a person who likes to lie." Ling Yun imprinted a kiss on her forehead, "So, Campus Belle Xia, will you be my girlfriend?"
"Who proposes at a Trash station?" Xia Yuwei turned her head away, blushing, but the uncontrollable smile on her lips betrayed everything.
Seeing her favorability increase from 96 to 97, Ling Yun turned her face back and kissed her red lips again.
However, it was only a brief taste. Many things needed to be savored slowly in a quiet place. In a public place like a school, it was better to refrain.
During lunch, looking at the dishes Ling Yun had gotten for her, Xia Yuwei remained dazed, as if it were all a beautiful dream that could be shattered at any moment.
"Want to go shopping with me this afternoon?"
"Huh?"
"What 'huh'? I'll buy you some new clothes and help you change your phone case."
"No need, it's too wasteful."
Ling Yun pulled her small hand: "It's fine, I'm not short on money."
Xia Yuwei felt a little inferior upon hearing this. Her family's financial situation was very difficult; it was already very hard for her mother to raise her alone through university. So, her living expenses were very tight. Luckily, her body shape was fixed after adulthood, so clothes could last her several years.
"No need, spending your money isn't good." She shook her head firmly.
Although Ling Yun appeared low-key and humble on the surface, he was quite domineering at heart. Seeing Xia Yuwei being disobedient, he placed his hand on her waist and squeezed: "Be good, let's get you some new clothes. Clothes make the man, and you're so beautiful and have such a good figure. Not dressing up properly is a waste."
"But… we just started dating…"
"If you don't want them, I'll buy them for other women." Ling Yun took out his phone, pretending to make a call.
Xia Yuwei was stunned. Seeing him actually about to call someone whose contact was saved as "?", she finally mustered the courage to grab his wrist.
"I'll go, alright?" The girl's heart raced, adrenaline surging. This action was already quite bold for her. "Is she your girlfriend too?"
"She's my mom. Do I need to call her to confirm?" Ling Yun showed her his phone.
"No… no need."
Xia Yuwei quickly released his wrist and lowered her head, starting to eat her rice.
Ling Yun looked at the innocent girl, like a fawn in the forest, and his affection for her grew even stronger.
By the way, Mom would also like this kind of girl, right… probably?
At this moment, Ling Yun didn't know what he was about to face, quickly eating the rice in his bowl.
He planned to take Xia Yuwei to Shizi Street this afternoon to intercept Lin Feng's Opportunity. It seemed Lin Feng's "main character" fate was closely related to that old man. If such an important Opportunity was intercepted, it should severely deduct a chunk of Luck, right?
Xia Yuwei couldn't refuse him. Although she didn't want to owe him a favor, when she walked out of the fitting room after changing into the clothes Ling Yun had chosen, seeing the surprised and admiring looks from the sales assistant and Ling Yun, her heart still felt sweet.
Ling Yun had her try on four or five outfits in a row. No matter the style, they all looked so harmonious and exquisite on her, though some of her prominent features made choosing clothes a bit difficult.
"This Young Miss has such a great figure, but unfortunately, you can't wear our store's hit summer styles this year…"
The sales assistant looked regretful, then glanced at Ling Yun, who was holding her clothes, and praised, "Your boyfriend is so good to you."
Xia Yuwei looked at Ling Yun's gentle gaze, pursed her lips slightly, and actively took his hand.
Just then, Ling Yun felt a dark aura from behind him. He turned around and saw a familiar figure hastily fleeing.
He checked the time. It was already past one o'clock without him realizing it. That person just now must have been Lin Feng.
At this moment, Lin Feng was staggering down the street, his eyes vacant, his mind empty.
His goddess had already become someone else's girlfriend, who was now taking her shopping for new clothes. Although he inwardly screamed that he would eventually make something of himself, he knew very well that without a miraculous encounter, he was destined to be a beast of burden his entire life.
Just as he was distraught, he accidentally bumped into a well-dressed young man.
"Hey, what the hell, don't you have eyes?!"
The young man's appearance was average, but his good taste in clothes and well-groomed hair added a lot to his appeal.
He disgustedly patted the spot where Lin Feng had touched him, and his two subordinates immediately stepped forward and grabbed Lin Feng.
"Hey, our Brother Hao asked you, don't you have eyes?!"
Lin Feng was already annoyed, but seeing the three tall and strong men, he immediately cowered.
He knew this young man; he was a typical dissolute rich second-generation from the Capital, also somewhat famous in school, named Wang Hao.
"Sorry."
Lin Feng's respectful attitude made Wang Hao feel much better.
"Alright, I see you're also a Haichuan University alumnus, right? Let's just let this go. Be more careful when you walk in the future. If you accidentally bump into someone else, they might not be as easygoing as I am!"
Wang Hao glanced at him, brushed his collar, and gestured for the two to release their grip.
His words sounded polite, but they were actually extremely rude. Although Lin Feng resented the rich, he was even more afraid of trouble, so he left without a word.
Meanwhile, Ling Yun and Xia Yuwei were holding hands, about to leave the store, when they heard Little Xi's voice.
Lin Feng was suppressed, swallowed his anger, and cowered. Luck reduced by 50 points. Current: 400 / 500!
"Ah, this?"
Ling Yun was dumbfounded. How could he have suffered another setback while he and Xia Yuwei were just paying?
There were still many good people in the world.
Xia Yuwei didn't understand, but seeing him in a good mood, she only thought it was because she had been obedient. She looked down at the bag in her hand, wondering how to tell her mother later.
To reduce unnecessary expenses, she didn't live at school but with her mother in an old house in the suburbs.
Although she was also from the Capital, her family was impoverished. The old house was in a bad location and couldn't be sold for a good price. Even if they were to sell it, where would they live afterward?
There were five outfits in total. Mom and I have similar figures, so I'll give her two sets. She'll look even more beautiful than me when she puts them on!
She really wanted to introduce Ling Yun to her mother, like a child wanting to show off a treasure to an adult. But she also felt very inferior. The few outfits combined cost several thousand yuan, which Ling Yun paid without batting an eye.
She also saw the balance in Ling Yun's card, a string of numbers that startled her.
Before long, the two arrived at Shizi Street, and Ling Yun saw Lin Feng sitting on a pedestrian barrier stone ball, lost in thought.
The other party also noticed Ling Yun and Xia Yuwei's gaze and quickly stood up. He wanted to leave, but a voice inside him told him to stay, that good things would happen!
But seeing Ling Yun and Xia Yuwei holding hands, he ultimately chose to leave.
An old man with vigorous steps walked up to the two. He was about to cross the pedestrian crossing, and another large truck was just turning right, placing the old man in the driver's blind spot.
Xia Yuwei clearly noticed the scene and instinctively cried out in alarm.
Ling Yun immediately reached out and grabbed the old man's arm, pulling him back from the side of the truck just in the nick of time.
"Thank you, young man!"
The old man almost fell, but Ling Yun steadied him. He watched the roaring truck pass by, then looked at Ling Yun with lingering fear.
Upon seeing Ling Yun, the old man's eyes lit up. He quickly straightened up and began to feel Ling Yun's arm and chest.
"Hey, old man, you can't repay kindness with malice!"
Ling Yun covered his chest and took a step back. If it weren't for the old man's battle power being as high as 50, he might have already made a move.
"Hehe, young man, you and I are fated!"
The old man's eyes glowed, making Xia Yuwei shiver. She instinctively linked arms with Ling Yun to assert her claim.
"Um, old man, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
Ling Yun took a step back, his gaze wary.
If the price of obtaining the Fulong Heart Sutra was to be intimately close with an old gay man, then he would rather not have it!
Seeing that he seemed to have scared the young couple, the old man immediately restrained his demeanor and returned to his immortal-like appearance.
"Young man, do you want to learn Martial Arts?"
"No, it's too tiring."
The old man choked, then his eyes darted around, and he said, "You saved me today, so you and I are fated. I have a long-lost Martial Forest Secret Manual here that I wish to impart to you. Are you interested?"
