Inside the room.
A man sat by the bed, his expression calm, yet with a hint of seriousness.
But his heart was far from calm, even feeling a bit bewildered.
"Three days, and I can't go back."
Lin Fan's mind was in chaos. He remembered that he was at the subway station before.
At the subway station, something unpleasant happened, and he got into a fight with two big men. At the time, he was full of spirit, starting with Wing Chun, but it only lasted for three seconds. Two huge fists came at him, and with a bang, he lost consciousness.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself here.
At first, he thought it was a prank.
But he had to be realistic.
As an ordinary person, who would go to such lengths to play such an elaborate prank on him?
The furniture in the room was made of dark red wood, and the air was filled with a fragrant aroma.
It was quite valuable.
Today was the third day.
When he first arrived, he didn't dare to wander around, not knowing where he was or what was going on.
"A bit of a letdown. In novels, it always says that when you reincarnate, you retain your memories."
Lin Fan scratched his head, feeling very troubled.
He went to the mirror.
It was very clear.
He had already looked at it many times. His appearance was exactly the same as his, except his hair was a bit longer.
He didn't know if he had reincarnated or if he had just switched bodies.
In a different world, having two identical people was possible, but the current situation was a bit awkward.
Suddenly.
Lin Fan lifted the sleeve of his left arm and looked hastily. When he saw the scar on his arm, he was completely stunned.
"This is my original body."
He couldn't believe it.
How did this happen?
Everyone has a scar on their left arm from childhood vaccinations, which is hard to get rid of for life.
After a moment of calm.
"Whatever, since I'm here, I'll make the best of it. I, Lin Fan, have never been afraid of anything. It's just another world; what's the big deal?"
He had been hiding for three days and didn't want to hide anymore. He decided to step out boldly and take a good look at this strange world.
But.
Where's the golden finger?
Without any benefits, how could he survive? On Earth, he was already a failure. Could changing places make a difference?
Lin Fan pondered in his heart.
But he still had some doubts.
"It should make a difference, right?"
Not thinking about it anymore, as a young man with aspirations, even in a strange environment, he had to muster the courage to take the first step.
He pushed the door open and stepped out.
Outside was a large courtyard with rock formations and flower beds.
A tycoon's home.
"It seems my luck isn't bad. In this strange world, I should be a wealthy young master." Lin Fan was quite satisfied with his current situation.
He had never imagined what a rich person's life was like, but now he was a tycoon.
Wouldn't he be able to enjoy it from now on?
He passed through the arched door and left the courtyard.
He had been thinking about one thing.
He should be a wealthy young master, but in these three days, he hadn't seen a single servant.
Not even meals were delivered.
His stomach was growling, but he was afraid of the unfamiliar place and endured for three days. Fortunately, there were some pastries in the room, which helped him survive.
At this moment.
A servant walked over, saw Lin Fan, and looked surprised, bowing respectfully. "Young Master, why are you out?"
Lin Fan hummed in response.
What's the deal?
Since you know I'm the young master, do I need permission to walk around?
To avoid any awkwardness, he knew he should observe more and talk less.
The servant lowered his head, looking a bit strange.
The young master was different from usual.
But he didn't dare to ask.
Lin Fan cleared his throat, trying to sound like a young master. "Let's take a walk."
The servant wanted to remind him of something but, knowing the young master's temper, knew that even if he said something, it would be useless and might anger the young master. So he followed.
This place was too unfamiliar.
He needed someone to guide him, just in case.
At a corner.
Lin Fan stopped, almost colliding with someone.
He was about to use his status to shout, "Blind as a bat, don't you know who I am?"
But he thought better of it.
Low profile.
Lin Fan looked up and saw a man in front of him, muscular, with a square face, looking powerful but young.
Many people were watching Lin Fan.
In a confrontation, the brave one wins.
Lin Fan noticed the man's strange look, and by his attire, he was clearly someone of status.
But no matter how high his status, could he compare to the young master?
The people following the man shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
At this moment.
Everyone's mouths dropped open in shock.
Lin Fan raised his hand and patted the man's shoulder. "Brother, could you please move aside?"
A very polite greeting.
Although he didn't know who the man was, he was so young, maybe a brother or a relative.
Calling him brother should be fine.
"Master." The servant following Lin Fan, holding silver, was about to go out to play. When he returned and saw the young master meeting the master, he was almost frightened to death.
This "Master" made Lin Fan almost jump to the sky.
What?
Could you please explain?
Is this a joke? The man in front of him, who was about the same age, was actually the master.
Does that mean I'm his son?
"Hmph!"
A roar came from the square-faced man, "You servant, how dare you take the young master out without permission, you are reckless."
His voice was like a thunderclap, like a wild beast's roar.
His voice was extremely loud.
Thud!
The servant knelt on the ground, his face pale with fear, devoid of any color.
"Bring him out and beat him to death." The man said in a deep voice.
"Master, spare my life, I won't do it again." The servant was so scared he almost wet his pants, bowing his head, his scalp bleeding, the blood staining the blue brick ground.
Lin Fan was stunned.
What kind of landlord is this, so audacious, daring to treat human life so lightly.
Looking at the expressions of the onlookers, it seemed they were used to it, as if beating a servant to death was a small matter.
Two muscular guards came out, about to drag the poor servant away. Lin Fan couldn't stand by and do nothing.
"Stop!"
He stepped forward, extending his hand to block the two guards.
Given his build, if he weren't the young master, these two guards could have beaten him to death in two punches.
"One person's actions, one person's responsibility. I came out on my own, what does it have to do with him? Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys isn't done this way. If you have any issues, come at me."
Lin Fan was a very righteous person; otherwise, he wouldn't have been beaten up at the subway station by two men.
Of course.
With his status as the young master, they couldn't do anything to him, right?
The servant on the ground, with tears and snot all over his face, looked at the young master in disbelief.
He never thought the young master would speak up for him at this moment.
Gratitude.
As a servant, life was as thin as paper, not worth mentioning.
Often, a servant's life was used to establish authority and give the masters a way out, making small matters disappear.
As for the servants, they were forgotten. The best they could hope for was to be wrapped in a straw mat, and the worst was to be thrown into the wilderness, with no one caring.
"Congratulations, you have successfully activated the small assistant."
A voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
Is this the golden finger?
Lin Fan, a novel enthusiast, could recite hundreds of tropes with his eyes closed.
Not to mention other things, if you talk about novels, he could talk you out of loving them forever with a case of beer.
All the tropes are already known, so what's the point of reading them?
Soon.
Lin Fan realized he saw something he hadn't seen before.
A few lines of data caught his attention.
Lin Fan.
Physical Strength: 9
Internal Energy: 0
Martial Arts Technique: None
Martial Arts Skill: None
Anger Points: 10
It was a bit confusing.
Lin Fan didn't understand, but the golden finger was activated, and what were these anger points?
Could it be?
He thought of a possibility.
"Ha ha ha, Lin, your son has spirit." The middle-aged man standing beside him laughed.
By his attire, he was clearly a big shot.
To verify the truth, Lin Fan spoke directly, "Isn't that obvious? He definitely has spirit."
The anger points jumped.
From 10 to 30.
Lin Fan had a hunch. This seemed to be the key to activating the golden finger.
He needed to figure it out.
But his young father was very angry, only giving him 10 anger points, while this unknown person gave him 20 anger points.
Or could it be that he was so useless that the other person had already given up hope?
That was a possibility.
"Rebellious son, how dare you speak to Master Yuan like that? Did you practice the Tiger Slaying Saber Technique as I told you to?" Lin Wanyi scolded in a deep voice.
Master Yuan's face changed slightly, clearly also angry, but he still smiled.
"No problem, no problem. Your son is straightforward and honest, not to be blamed, not to be blamed."
Lin Fan already knew his status.
Although he didn't know the situation,
But just by being the son of the other person, he had nothing to fear. Could they really kill him in anger?
But wait, martial arts techniques?
What kind of world is this?
Martial arts or something else?
Stay calm, must stay calm, can't panic.
"No." Lin Fan replied.
"Anger +5."
The increase was a bit small. Was he really that useless?
His heart was already in despair.
So they had no hope for him?
Lin Wanyi restrained his anger, "Why didn't you practice?"
For this question, Lin Fan didn't know how to answer. Practice what? At least give me the technique.
Who knows where his real son had hidden the technique.
"I don't know where the technique went." Lin Fan answered honestly. It was the truth.
Lin Wanyi's chest heaved with anger, "Get out."
"Sure thing, I'll go."
Without waiting for Lin Wanyi to say more, he pulled the servant on the ground and ran away.
"Anger +100."
Lin Fan, already far away, was surprised.
This increased by 100?
Lin Wanyi was so angry his face turned iron gray. Rebellious son, truly a rebellious son.
He shook his head, feeling a deep sadness.
What will happen in the future?
Master Yuan comforted him, but inside, he was laughing. Truly as rumored.
