The two walked up to the ATM, Luo Tai inserted his bank card, and then entered the password. "Swish," the ATM displayed that there really was 150,000 yuan in the card. However, just like in reality, the maximum withdrawal per transaction was 2,500 yuan, and the maximum per day was 25,000 yuan.
Without a word, Luo Tai withdrew 25,000 yuan in several transactions. With the money in hand, Luo Tai turned and walked back to the clinic.
"We need to pay Dr. Lu back first," Luo Tai said to Liu Yifei.
"Right, right," Liu Yifei agreed wholeheartedly. "Dr. Lu is such a good person. By the way, what do you think of my suggestion?"
"What suggestion?" Luo Tai asked.
"You're so mean, it's about staying in a high-end hotel," Liu Yifei said.
Luo Tai smiled and said, "I'll talk to you about it later. It's better to be low-key."
As they spoke, the two returned to the community clinic. When Dr. Lu saw the young couple return, smiling, he was a bit curious and asked, "Luo Tai, right? Is there something else?"
Luo Tai walked up to Dr. Lu and said, "There are still good people in the world. We went out for a while, and someone found our wallet. I'm here to pay you back..." As he spoke, he took out 5,000 yuan and pushed it into Dr. Lu's hand without hesitation.
"Little Luo, what are you... joking about..." Dr. Lu, seeing so much money, hurriedly tried to give it back.
"No, no, I don't mean anything else," Luo Tai said sincerely. "Your one injection is worth 5,000 yuan. Good people will be rewarded."
After saying that, Luo Tai pulled Liu Yifei and walked out of the clinic without looking back. Dr. Lu, holding a stack of money, watched them leave in a daze, and even the nurse beside him was stunned...
As soon as Luo Tai and Liu Yifei stepped out, his watch vibrated. He raised his wrist in confusion and saw that it displayed: "A drop of water's kindness, a spring of gratitude. Reward: 30 points of merit. Total merit: 66 points."
Luo Tai shook his head happily and sighed, "It really is a turn for the better."
Liu Yifei smiled and said, "That's great. We should consider where to stay now."
Luo Tai said, "I've thought about it. We really can't stay in a high-end hotel."
"Why not?" Liu Yifei asked, frowning.
"First, to complete the task and go home as soon as possible, we need the money for other things. Second, do you have an ID card for this world? High-end hotels have strict security and check this very carefully," Luo Tai explained.
"Phew~~" Liu Yifei squinted and exhaled. Hearing Luo Tai's explanation, she felt her desire to stay in a high-end hotel was dashed, and she felt like a deflated balloon.
"Alright, alright. You're used to a comfortable life in reality. Coming here is a good chance to experience the life at the bottom. This way, when you go back, you can play more roles. Don't always act like you're above the world," Luo Tai comforted her, putting his arm around her shoulders.
Liu Yifei pouted and shrugged, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Do smaller hotels not check IDs?"
Luo Tai looked around and said, "We'll get some fake ones first. Small hotels aren't that strict."
So, Luo Tai took Liu Yifei and spent two hours finding someone to make them fake IDs. Surprisingly, the process was even more efficient in this movie world than in reality.
After getting the IDs, the two found a small, unassuming hotel to stay in. The hotel was small but well-equipped. They took two rooms and went to sleep. Liu Yifei, exhausted from the day, took her medicine and fell asleep without even washing up.
Luo Tai sat in meditation for a while, then released the black spider and placed the box by the window. The spider came out and started looking for food along the wall. There were always some flies and mosquitoes in a small hotel, so the spider wouldn't go hungry.
Luo Tai then lay down on his back, thinking about how to find his fifth senior brother, Ah Xing...
The next morning, Luo Tai woke Liu Yifei up. After a quick wash, they left the hotel and headed to the scrap yard.
Upon arrival, Luo Tai started asking the staff if they knew someone named Ah Xing, who was of medium build and often brought garbage here, usually wearing a red tank top.
They asked many people, but no one knew him. However, when they asked a thin man with glasses, he told Luo Tai that there was such a person. Luo Tai was delighted and quickly asked where he was.
The man shook his head and said that Ah Xing hadn't been there for over a week. He heard from a friend that Ah Xing was going to play soccer, but he didn't know the details.
With this information, Luo Tai and Liu Yifei left and he said to her, "They might be forming a soccer team now. In a week... I think they have just found the other senior brothers."
Liu Yifei frowned and said, "But... how do we find them in such a vast city?"
Luo Tai thought for a moment and said, "Are you familiar with Shanghai?"
Liu Yifei nodded and said, "Sure."
"Do you remember the dilapidated building in the movie where the brothers and Wu Mengda gathered on the rooftop?" Luo Tai asked.
"I've seen the movie, of course I remember... but there are many dilapidated buildings in Shanghai, it won't be easy to find," Liu Yifei said.
"If it were easy, it wouldn't be a task. For now, we can only try our luck," Luo Tai said.
Liu Yifei thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the west side of the city, that's the old district."
"You lead the way, let's go," Luo Tai said.
The two headed to the old district in the west of the city. By noon, they found a gray, old building that looked very similar to the one in the movie.
"This looks very similar," Luo Tai said.
"It does, but it would be great if our phones worked. I could call Brother Xing and ask where they filmed 'Shaolin Soccer,'" Liu Yifei said.
"Hmph, silly, this is a different time and space," Luo Tai shook his head.
"I know, I was just thinking," Liu Yifei pouted.
As they spoke, Luo Tai suddenly saw a man. He was balding, wearing slippers and a dark red robe, and had a cigarette in his mouth. He looked very cool and was walking up a staircase outside the building.
"That's the eldest senior brother, Iron Head!" Luo Tai recognized him immediately.
Liu Yifei saw him and quickly said, "It's him, Teacher Huang Yifei."
"Do you know him?"
"Of course, I met him at an award ceremony once," Liu Yifei said excitedly, as if she had found a kindred spirit.
"Go say hello to him then," Luo Tai nodded.
Liu Yifei ran over, calling out, "Teacher Huang Yifei, Teacher Huang Yifei."
The eldest senior brother was about to go up the stairs when he saw a beautiful woman running towards him, calling out "Huang Yifei." He was taken aback, took a puff of his cigarette, looked around, and then looked at Liu Yifei in confusion.
"Teacher Huang, I didn't expect to see you here. Do you remember me?" Liu Yifei panted.
The eldest senior brother looked at Liu Yifei for a long time and said, "Wow, beautiful lady, are you calling me? The name Huang Yifei sounds deep, but I've never used it."
Liu Yifei suddenly slapped her forehead, embarrassed. In her excitement, she had forgotten that this was a movie world.
At this moment, Luo Tai came over and said to the eldest senior brother, "Are you going to the rooftop to find your fifth senior brother, Ah Xing?"
"Oh? How do you know that?" the eldest senior brother was taken aback again.
"We're going there too," Luo Tai waved his hand, thinking to himself that the timing was perfect, as the six senior brothers had just gathered to play soccer.
"Who are you?" the eldest senior brother asked.
"I'm like you, someone who likes kung fu and wants to play soccer," Luo Tai said, pulling Liu Yifei up the stairs. "Come on, let's go together."
The eldest senior brother shook his head in confusion and walked to the rooftop with them...
