Chapter 30

The bald leader sneered coldly and continued, "Four bucks, trying to fool a fool! Kid, we want money, not our lives. Don't risk two lives for a little money; it's not worth it." As he spoke, the five men pulled out switchblades from their pockets and flicked them open with a "snap," revealing the sharp blades. "Kid, can your mouth be as hard as a knife? Are you giving us money? Are you out of your mind?"

The five men gradually approached Luo Tai and Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei was so scared that she couldn't speak, her body trembling.

"Whoa!!" Luo Tai suddenly moved. "Pound, pound, pound, pound, pound," his hands and feet moved so fast, like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, the five men were knocked to the ground.

Liu Yifei stared blankly at the scene, thinking, is this a movie?

Luo Tai walked over, first collecting the switchblades from the five men, then said to the bald man, "I won't waste words with you. I only used a small part of my strength just now. If you don't want to lose your arms or legs, lend me some money."

The five men struggled painfully on the ground for a while, but none of them spoke.

"OK." Luo Tai, seeing this, grabbed the bald man's wrist and twisted it.

"Ahh~~" The bald man screamed in agony.

Luo Tai loosened his grip slightly and said, "How about it? Can you lend it?"

"Can, can, can~~" The bald man was drenched in cold sweat, nodding vigorously.

"Swish." Luo Tai released his grip and watched the five men help each other up from the ground.

"Sir, you have incredible skills. We've learned a lot today." The bald man flattered Luo Tai, then nodded to the five men, who began to take money out of their pockets.

Luo Tai looked at the five men's ordinary clothing and guessed they were the lowest-level thugs on the street.

"Sir, that's all we have." The bald man presented a pile of bills to Luo Tai. Luo Tai saw that, including the small bills, it was less than a hundred dollars.

The bald man, seeing that Luo Tai didn't immediately take the money, continued, "Sir, we're really short on cash. We didn't want to work at a construction site, so we decided to rob. We didn't expect to run into an expert on our first try."

"Is this your first time robbing?" Luo Tai asked.

"Yes." The bald man nodded, "We discussed it thoroughly and decided to rob today."

"What about the knives? How did you get them?" Luo Tai asked.

"Ah, these five knives were our biggest investment. Old Six said, 'You can't catch a wolf without risking your child. You can't rob without good weapons...'" He glanced at the man on the far right.

Luo Tai looked and realized this must be Old Six.

"Don't look at me. We all wanted to get these knives." He lowered his head.

Luo Tai shook his head, turned to Liu Yifei, who had recovered from her shock. She winked at him, as if to say, "It's up to you."

Luo Tai looked at the bald man and said, "Forget it, we're all poor. I don't want to rob the poor to help the poor." He pushed the money back into the bald man's hands, then pulled Liu Yifei away.

The five men were still in a daze when Luo Tai threw the five closed knives back to them, saying, "Get a real job. Don't rob. Your kids will look down on you in the future."

Not long after Luo Tai and Liu Yifei left the alley, Luo Tai's watch vibrated. He lifted it to check. Liu Yifei, meanwhile, was breathing heavily and said to Luo Tai, "I never thought you knew kung fu... My God, you really do. You were amazing just now, it felt like a movie."

Luo Tai smiled but didn't respond. He saw the watch display: Robbery prevention successful and robbers educated. Reward: 200 points of merit. Total merit: 336 points...

"Great!" Luo Tai couldn't help but exclaim. Liu Yifei was startled and pouted, "You scared me. What's so exciting? Do we have a place to sleep tonight?"

Luo Tai shrugged, thinking to himself that although the merit points needed for the lottery had increased, the system's rewards had also increased significantly. One successful robbery was equivalent to donating 100,000 yuan to children in the mountains... 336 points, enough for two lotteries.

He calmed down and looked at the new lottery items on his watch. There were significant changes: Shaolin Great Vajra Leg went from level 8 to level 6, Li Xiaolong's Flying Dagger at level 9 was replaced by Cooking Skills at level 5 (permanent), the identity of a killer was removed and replaced with 150,000 units of the world's currency (8 months, note: delivered via bank card, password *******), a venomous snake was replaced by a black spider and its box (8 months, note: the spider is non-venomous, a pet spider, and will crawl down from your partner's head after being drawn), and the Football Skills at level 4 remained unchanged...

Seeing the hodgepodge of lottery items, Luo Tai sighed, "Oh, my old immortal, you're being mischievous again." He stopped complaining, shook his head, and clicked to draw. The watch began to spin rapidly.

Liu Yifei, seeing this, came over and asked, "How's it going?"

"Beep." The watch stopped, and Luo Tai quickly looked: Congratulations, you've drawn a black spider... The system deducted 150 points of merit, leaving 186 points.

Luo Tai turned to Liu Yifei and said, "Are you afraid of spiders?"

As he spoke, he saw a black spider, about the size of half a palm, appear out of nowhere on Liu Yifei's head, then slowly crawl down her face.

Liu Yifei was stunned and asked, "What do you mean, afraid of spiders?" Then she felt something crawling on her head and instinctively reached out to grab it.

"Ahh~~" She screamed...

Liu Yifei's hand, as if electrified, flung the black spider away, and she jumped up three feet. Although it was night and there weren't many people around, her scream still attracted the attention of some passersby.

Luo Tai quickly went to her and said, "It's okay, the spider isn't venomous."

"Wah..." Liu Yifei couldn't hold back and burst into tears, hugging Luo Tai.

Luo Tai patted her shoulder and said softly, "It's okay, the merit points came quickly, and the lottery luck is getting worse."

As he spoke, he saw a wooden box on the ground. The black spider that Liu Yifei had flung away quietly crawled into it, as if it knew it was its home.

Luo Tai found it interesting, so he let go of Liu Yifei and picked up the box. He thought, "I don't want to throw you away; you cost me 150 points of merit. In that sense, you and Liu Yifei are of equal value."

Luo Tai put the wooden box away and said to Liu Yifei, "It's okay, I can draw again."

Liu Yifei, still in shock, nodded woodenly and touched her head and arms.

Luo Tai continued to click on the merit points on his watch. The watch displayed: You have just completed a draw. The interval between consecutive draws must be at least one hour. Please try again later.

Seeing this, Luo Tai could only put away his watch and said to Liu Yifei, "Let's go to the scrap yard first."

Liu Yifei shook her head and said, "Okay!" But as soon as she said this, she collapsed to the ground...

Luo Tai was startled and quickly helped her up. He saw that Liu Yifei's face was pale and she looked very ill. He touched her forehead and felt that it was very hot.

"Really, when it rains, it pours," Luo Tai thought, frowning. Perhaps the series of shocks had been too much for the big star, both physically and mentally, causing her to collapse...
