Chapter 2 Blue-Haired Monkey
"Cell phone actually has the ability to see tomorrow's content, if tomorrow just opened lottery tickets, go online to check the winning numbers, and run to buy them today, isn't that a sure win? Oh my god, this is even faster than robbery!" Ga Tianming became more and more excited.
Gao Tianming's family economic status can only be considered ordinary, they now live in the city, but 10 years ago they were still registered as rural households. Gao Tianming remembers running wildly in the fields of his village when he was a child. According to rural customs, making money is always done by the males in the household. Therefore, Gao Tianming's father is the only economic pillar of this family.
After moving to the city, Gao Tianming's father became the director of a workshop in a factory, while his mother was a housewife at home. The tuition fees for Gao Tianming's university education were saved by the family through frugal living and hard work.
Now, a chance to become rich overnight is in front of Gao Tianming, how can he not be excited.
Gao Tianming kept telling himself to calm down, trying to take deep breaths, but it was clear that an ordinary person wouldn't be able to calm down in this situation. Gao Tianming's mind wandered more and more, thinking about what luxury car he should buy next, which mansion he should live in, and how many beautiful wives he should marry.
The daytime passed in Gaotianming's wild fantasies. At dinner time, Gaotianming and his father and mother sat together to eat. His father could only come home to have dinner with them at night, and lunch was always settled at the factory.
"Dad, Mom, you say, if our family can win the lottery, how much would be suitable?" Ga Tianming asked while stuffing meat into his mouth, with a face full of excitement.
"You kid, why are you asking this question today? It's still not suitable for your age, and if you buy it, you'll definitely win! Your mouth is so big that even meat can't fill it!" The mother scolded with a smile.
Startled by his mother's words, Gao Tianming smiled and said: "No, it's just that I've been watching the news these days, someone bought a lottery ticket and won several hundred million, so much, I even thought of going to try my luck."
"How can you always think about this and that, are those things something to be hoped for? I've been telling you all along, as a person, one must have their feet on the ground, take things one step at a time. You should study hard and find a good job in the future, which is more important than anything else." Father said seriously, "Besides, having several hundred million isn't necessarily a good thing. Money is something that can be wealth if you can keep it safe, but if you can't protect it, then it's a disaster!"
"I was just casually saying it, I just hope our family can live a little better!" Being scolded by his father, Gao Tianming felt somewhat wronged.
"As long as you can think of things for the family in your heart, we will be very comforted." Mother said with a smile.
After dinner, Gao Tianming returned to his room. "This matter cannot be discussed with my parents, and things about supernatural powers cannot be told to them either, or they will think I'm sick. But what Dad said earlier is right, having too much money isn't necessarily a good thing, and I don't have the ability to protect so much money now. If I suddenly get hundreds of millions or even billions, it'll make the news, which wouldn't be good." Gao Tianming furrowed his brow in thought, "Getting 500W should be about right, it won't make the news, and with this amount of money in today's society, after buying a house there won't be much left over either."
After confirming the winning amount, Gaotianming felt a little relieved. Now it's just a matter of when the lottery will be drawn.
Turn on the computer and enter the lottery website. Today is Wednesday, the Super Lotto has already been drawn, the next one will be on Saturday, so I can buy it on Friday.
The whole day passed unknowingly, seemingly ordinary, but for Gao Tianming, it was a day that changed his life's trajectory. Lying in bed, Gao Tianming tossed and turned, unable to sleep, his mind filled with thoughts of supernatural powers, mobile phones, lottery tickets, and mansions. He couldn't calm down until he finally fell asleep in a daze.
The night outside is as black as ink, the moon is covered by dark clouds, and only occasionally does a ray of moonlight leak through.
On the 2nd day, Gao Tianming got up early. Although he didn't sleep much, he was full of energy.
He thought of something last night. Buying a lottery ticket with one note can't win 500,000 yuan, you need to buy many notes, and even if you win the first prize, it's not safe, winning the second prize, buying 20 or so notes, basically have 500,000 yuan. But at the beginning, I need money to buy lottery tickets, asking dad and mom for it is not a good reason, can't make up an excuse. It's better to take 10 yuan and go to the casino to earn some small money, and also practice one's supernatural powers.
After finishing breakfast, he bid farewell to his parents and set out.
Gao Tianming, of course, wasn't going to those big casinos, he couldn't get in anyway. He was heading to one of those small, street-side gambling dens where a group of idle people gathered together. Sometimes when Gao Tianming had nothing better to do, he would also go there to take a look around.
As he entered the gambling den, Gao Tianming was choked by the smoke inside and coughed several times.
There were about a dozen people in the gambling den, surrounding a large table. They weren't playing anything like blackjack, but rather using mahjong tiles laid out face up. The banker and the player each took two tiles, compared points, with the highest total of nine points for the two tiles combined. If the total exceeded nine, such as eleven, it counted as two points. There was also a special case where two identical tiles were considered "leopard" and beat nine points. When the banker and the player had the same score, the banker won.
There are only four people playing, the banker and three guests. The onlookers around can put their money on the guest's side. If they win, the banker will also pay them back. The rules are very simple.
When Gao Tianming came in, he didn't attract anyone's attention.
Gao Tianming stood beside a bald old man, constantly using his abilities to test the final result. After a while, Gao Tianming pretended to be excited by the atmosphere on the scene and pressed 10 yuan into the hands of the nearest bald old man.
The result was that the old man won, of course. Gao Tianming knew he couldn't win all the time, or it would arouse suspicion, so he always lost a few rounds before making a big comeback, going back and forth, after an hour, Gao Tianming had also made over 500 yuan, and decided to call it quits. Leaving this place, these were already more than enough.
After leaving the casino, he took a deep breath of fresh air. Gao Tianming decided to go home and take a shower, as the smell of smoke on his body was too strong.
Just as I was about to take a step, my shoulder was tapped by someone, and a lazy voice came from behind my ear: "Brother, I've been observing you for a long time inside, making a lot of money, right? My brother is a bit tight on cash recently, can I borrow some money to spend?"
Gao Tianming turned around and shook off the hand on his shoulder. In front of him was a skinny monkey with blue-dyed hair, holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking like a complete **.
"I don't know you," said Gao Tianming and then wanted to leave.
"What's the hurry? Now that we know each other, don't you want to lend it?" The blue-haired monkey began to threaten.
Gao Tianming turned his head and took a look at him, didn't say anything, and walked away directly.
"It seems I can only take matters into my own hands." Just as the voice fell, a strong gust of wind rushed towards his back. Gao Tianming was startled and dodged too late, only managing to lean to the left and lower his body. A severe pain shot through his shoulder. Gao Tianming had not expected that the blue-haired monkey would be so bold as to rob him.
Turning around, I saw a blue-haired monkey holding a stick in one hand and slowly patting the palm of the other hand: "Actually, I didn't want it to be like this."
Just after finishing speaking, the stick rushed straight towards Gaotianming's face.
Gaotianming involuntarily used his special ability. (Gaotianming foolishly took a stick to the head and fell to the ground) His brain saw the direction of the stick, Gaotianming took a step back and spun his body, the stick grazed his nose and struck downwards. (The stick swung horizontally with great force towards his head) Frightened, he hastily jumped backwards.
Avoiding the stick behind him, Gaotianming's heart was racing rapidly, his face slightly flushed.
"Kid's not bad, hiding like a pro. I'll make you look even cooler later." The blue-haired monkey charged again.
