C2 Double Thanks for Patronage!!

The nurse glanced back, her expression one of sheer alarm.

"Three defibrillation attempts failed. How is it even possible to save him now?"

Outside the operating room, Liu Feiwen was nonchalantly sitting with his legs crossed, a smirk of contempt playing on his lips as he watched the door. His demeanor shifted to one of cold indifference, punctuated by a derisive snort.

"So, how about it? You've caused the accident, and I've paid you. Are you free tonight?" he asked.

Xiao Baiyun responded with an alluring smile, feigning shyness for a moment before draping her arm over Liu Feiwen's shoulder. "If Mr. Liu is in the mood, I can certainly make myself available tonight, even if I had other plans."

Seizing the moment, Liu Feiwen pulled Xiao Baiyun into his embrace, unabashedly displaying their intimacy in front of the onlookers passing by the operating room door. Xiao Baiyun, however, was visibly anxious, stealing glances at the door, dreading that Lin Haoyu might witness the scene.

"Mr. Liu, perhaps we should wait a bit longer?" she suggested, pushing Liu Feiwen away. Her heart raced with the fear of being caught doing something wrong in front of her boyfriend.

But Liu Feiwen wasn't about to let his prize slip away. He assertively wrapped his arms around Xiao Baiyun, leaning in to claim her lips.

"Mmm!" Xiao Baiyun's cheeks flushed a deep pink, her eyes hazy as she reciprocated Liu Feiwen's advances, oblivious to the astonished murmurs and stares from the crowd.

Suddenly, the operating room doors burst open, but instead of the usual gurney, a robust figure strode out.

"Dr. Rong, I owe you big time for this one. Dinner's on me next time!" Lin Haoyu said with a light chuckle, clapping Rong Chao on the shoulder while completely disregarding the nurse's shocked and bewildered gaze.

In a world where few could walk away after being struck by a car, and even fewer could come back to life after their heart had stopped beating, Lin Haoyu was a living miracle.

The nurse covered her mouth, trying to stifle her astonishment, fearful of letting out an inappropriate shriek.

"There's no need for that," she replied. "It would be my pleasure to give you a thorough check-up, Mr. Lin Haoyu."

Rong Chao gazed at Lin Haoyu, seemingly without a scratch, and nodded appreciatively, a fervent look in his eyes.

"Well, let's just drop it then. I wouldn't want to give you a heart attack."

The thought was laughable. If the doctors were to examine his current physical state and discover the system, it might just scare them to death.

"Haha, Mr. Lin Haoyu, you're quite the comedian. I've been practicing medicine for many years, and honestly, you're one of the most remarkable individuals I've ever encountered."

Rong Chao's face glowed with a healthy flush as he chuckled good-naturedly.

Lin Haoyu offered a half-hearted smirk and was about to take his leave when he caught sight of the astonishing scene before him.

"Wait, isn't that... Liu Feiwen and Xiao Baiyun?"

Lin Haoyu's mouth fell open, but he found himself at a loss for words.

Liu Feiwen was the very person responsible for the accident. His presence here was not up for discussion; a scion of the Liu family was beyond the reach of the police.

Xiao Baiyun, once Lin Haoyu's girlfriend, had decisively left him upon realizing he wasn't wealthy.

"Look, Baiyun, your boyfriend has arrived," Liu Feiwen remarked, feeling a searing gaze upon him. He glanced up to catch a glimpse of a mischievous smirk in the corner of his eye and whispered into Xiao Baiyun's ear.

Suddenly, Xiao Baiyun looked panicked. She tried to extricate herself from Liu Feiwen's arms but found herself unable to break free.

"Well, if it isn't Liu Feiwen! What brings you here this time, curious about what ailment you've caught?" Lin Haoyu scoffed, approaching Liu Feiwen with a look of contempt, his eyes ablaze with fury.

It was undoubtedly Liu Feiwen who had caused the accident. Lin Haoyu was acutely aware that he was not in a position to confront him.

"Lin Haoyu, you know I need money, something you just can't provide," Xiao Baiyun said, struggling to steady her racing heart. She looked at him scornfully, her brow furrowed in disdain.

Liu Feiwen was incredibly cunning and quickly chimed in, "Hey, that's not entirely true. Sometimes, failure can be a kind of wealth, too."

While he spoke, Liu Feiwen sneered slyly and continued to make advances on Xiao Baiyun. Before long, his moans filled the air, much to Lin Haoyu's disgust.

"Enough! Liu Feiwen, whatever your motives, I want you to steer clear of me from now on. If you don't, you won't be able to handle the consequences."

Lin Haoyu's gaze was icy as he looked at the nauseating pair before him, his favorability toward this unscrupulous individual plummeting to rock bottom.

"Oh, is our Mr. Huangfu threatening to take me down? If you're so capable, then bring it on!"

Liu Feiwen provocatively stretched out his neck, mocking Lin Haoyu with a sneer that feigned fear.

Xiao Baiyun, showing equal disdain, cozied up to Liu Feiwen, treating Lin Haoyu as if he were nothing more than thin air.

"Pfft! As if you have the courage."

"Ding! Host has completed the mission: Hit by a car once. You have earned a mysterious reward. Would you like to claim it?"

An electronic voice suddenly interrupted.

Lin Haoyu couldn't be bothered to engage in a pointless exchange with the spoiled rich kid before him. He chuckled and walked away, showing no inclination to retaliate.

As he moved away, he could still hear Liu Chengtian loudly mocking him from behind:

"Coward Lin Haoyu, so indifferent even as your girlfriend is mistreated right before your eyes. What a spineless, worthless man!"

But Lin Haoyu dismissed it as nothing more than a dog's bark, paying no mind to the ramblings of someone who clearly wasn't all there mentally.

"After all, idiots need love too," he muttered with a scoff.

Without a ripple of disturbance from Liu Feiwen's taunts, Lin Haoyu found himself on the street in front of the hospital. What truly mattered to him was the system's electronic prompt – after all, it signified a reward he had earned with his life, even though it hadn't killed him.

"By the way, system, what exactly is the reward for completing this mission?" Lin Haoyu asked, his curiosity piqued.

"Mysterious reward. Would you like to claim it and check the details?"

The system had become craftier, no longer blatantly revealing its traps. Instead, it waited for Lin Haoyu to fall in before revealing the lurking tiger.

Lin Haoyu scoffed, his face full of scorn, "System, do you really think I'd be foolish enough to accept your treacherous reward?"

After a long pause, an electronic voice replied,

"Ding! The mission reward will disappear in three seconds."

With that, Lin Haoyu's composure vanished as he sensed the system's deep-seated malice.

"Damn it! Well, if it's free, I'll take it."

He pondered briefly, watching the three-second countdown tick away. Biting his lip, Lin Haoyu nodded decisively.

As he made his decision, a sound like rolling wheels echoed in his ears, and a magical spinning wheel appeared before him, both ethereal and tangible.

"What's this?"

Lin Haoyu reached out curiously, but his hand passed right through the wheel, unable to touch it.

Thankfully, the system promptly clarified his confusion.

"Ding! This is the Star Luck System's lottery reward. The inner circle is for the normal lottery, the middle circle for the intermediate lottery, and the outer circle for the advanced lottery. You have completed the mission and now have three chances at the normal lottery."

"Lottery?"

Lin Haoyu, blissfully unaware of the catch, thought it was a stroke of luck and beamed with joy.

"Okay then, system, let's do the lottery. I'll try it once for starters."

He wasn't about to squander such a rare opportunity by using all his chances at once.

Lin Haoyu's grin stretched ear to ear, his excitement unabated as he continued to dream about his ascent to the pinnacle of life.

"Ding! Congratulations, you've used one normal lottery chance."

No sooner had the system announced this than Lin Haoyu watched the wheel before him spin at a speed visible to the naked eye, whirling into a blur.

After about ten seconds, the wheel's speed began to slow, yet it still spun rapidly, and Lin Haoyu grew increasingly eager.

"System, stop!"

Lin Haoyu's throat went dry as he imagined winning a hundred million dollars, owning a mansion within the third ring, and meeting a top-tier beauty. He hastily called for a halt.

"Whoosh!"

Sure enough, the wheel came to a rapid stop after his command, and as luck would have it, the needle landed right on "10 million dollars."

"Holy smokes! System, you're really splurging!"

Lin Haoyu was ecstatic, nearly ready to embrace the system and plant a big kiss on it.

Ten million dollars! That was way better than becoming a celebrity. Perhaps he could even find a scenic spot to buy a house and settle down for retirement!

As a laid-back young man, Lin Haoyu didn't have grand ambitions. His simple wish was to earn a mere seven or eight billion dollars, find three or four beauties, and bask in the admiration of thousands.

"Ten million! It still feels a bit short. System, you're not quite living up to expectations."

Lin Haoyu clicked his tongue, feeling that ten million was not enough. He rolled his eyes and began to grumble at the system.

Before he could finish, there was another sound.

"Whoosh!"

Somehow, the needle seemed to be magically manipulated, jumping from the "10 million dollars" slot to the next.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for drawing: Thank you for your patronage!"

Lin Haoyu: ...Is that even possible?

"System, you did that on purpose. I've always known your tricks, but it still irks me."

Though taken aback, Lin Haoyu was powerless against the system.

He took a few deep breaths, widened his eyes, swallowed hard, and said in a low voice,

"Let's go again."

The familiar sound of the wheel spinning filled the air, but to Lin Haoyu, it was as if he was listening to the wheel of fate itself.

Before Lin Haoyu could utter a word, the system automatically came to a halt.

"Whoosh!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for drawing: Thank you for your patronage!"

"Ding! Congratulations on adding the book to your bookshelf! You've earned one lucky draw chance!"

"Ding! Congratulations for casting a recommendation vote for the book! You've earned one lucky draw chance!"

"Ding! Congratulations on using your lucky draw opportunity!"

"Ding! Thank you for your patronage!"

Cough, cough, well, in light of Lin Haoyu's involvement, I will take that into consideration when deciding on the reward..."
