Chapter 2: Struggling for a Thousand Dollars

ll out would have been effortless for him.Wang Erpao frowned and thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Well, we can't go, the risk is too high. I'll call headquarters right now to r...Wang Lin rushed home and hurriedly ran into the bathroom to take off his clothes.

As the shower water rushed over his grime-covered body, his agitated heart gradually calmed with each passing wave.

After showering, he threw on a random piece of clothing, humming an unknown tune, and ambled out the door.

When walking, Wang Lin called home and told his parents the news.

At the beginning, Wang Lin's parents were quite happy. However, later they came with all kinds of worries. After Wang Lin explained and reassured them, his parents were finally appeased.

Thinking back to the various nagging from his parents just now, Wang Lin felt very satisfied. No matter what time it was, the only ones who truly cared about him were his family.

Now, outside the lights were just beginning to twinkle. Wang Lin walked into a noodle shop. At this time, the proprietress was sitting at the back kitchen door playing with her phone. Seeing Wang Lin come in, she said while still playing on her phone, "Little Wang is here, are you still having fried noodles"

Because the noodle shop's food is cheap and tasty, Wang Lin eats there every night. Over time, he has become close friends with the owner and his family.

"I'm happy today, let's improve my life with a tomato beef noodle soup," Wang Lin casually found a seat and said to the proprietress.

"What good things happened today, tell your elder sister about it.""Haha, I accidentally woke up while delivering packages today. The good days are coming!" Wang Lin excitedly shook his fist.

"Really Big sister said the first time she saw you, she thought your forehead was full and your face well-proportioned, with a high straight nose and a round strong jawline. She felt that your future would definitely be prosperous and wealthy, and I didn't expect it to come true so quickly!"

Wang Lin knew that his older sister had a tendency to flatter, but who doesn't like being flattered So he jokingly said to her, "Sister, you have a good eye for faces! I didn't realize you liked traditional culture."

"Hey, isn't it boring to just hang out in the store all day with nothing to do Just browsing videos every day, knowing a little about everything," The proprietress patted her hands. "Zhisheng, a bowl of tomato beef noodles." A response came from the kitchen shortly after.

"Little Wang, can you tell me about your awakening abilities In my whole life, I've never met anyone who has awakened."

Wang Lin wiped his nose and awkwardly said, "I don't know what kind of ability I have, I feel nothing at all, but my physical strength is a little better than before."

This is still something I found when I just ran down the stairs a moment ago. Before, I would be out of breath when going downstairs, but today I went down without getting flushed or short of breath.

"It's okay, it'll be discovered sooner or later. Your ability won't disappear. Since you've woken up today, consider this meal on me."

Then, thank you, big sister.

Not long after, he was happily eating the delicious beef noodles, his heart filled with beautiful aspirations for his future life. At this moment, a sweet and cloying voice came over.

"Darling, you said you'd take me to a delicious place, is this it～"

Wang Lin subconsciously looked towards the owner of the voice. He found that this person was dressed in a flamboyant manner, with a short skirt so high it seemed like she wasn't wearing anything at all. The view under her skirt was tantalizingly suggestive.

She clung to a man's arm, rubbing playfully against her own towering breasts. The man wore an expression of pure pleasure.

"Honey, you wouldn't believe how delicious the food here is. You'll just have to try it yourself."

Wang Lin retracted his gaze and continued to bury his head in his meal, but his earlier glance had still been noticed by that girl.

She glared fiercely at Wang Lin, "What are you looking at! One more look and I'll gouge out your eyes!"

Turning her head back to the man beside her, she continued to act sweetly. "Honey, let's go~ There are wolves here, I'm scared~. Let's just go eat at that big hotel we saw earlier!"

The man's expression shifted slightly. That restaurant meal cost several thousand yuan, and he was a bit reluctant to spend it. However, in order to maintain his image, he still smiled and said to the girl.

"My dear, don't be afraid. Just get rid of this person."

He walked up to Wang Lin, tossed a hundred-yuan bill in his face, and said, "Take the money and get out of here. My girlfriend doesn't like you."

Wang Lin glanced at the man, said nothing, and continued to eat, leaving the man standing awkwardly in place.

In order to save face in front of the other party, he could only take out another one hundred yuan bill from his pocket and slam it on the table, saying in a low voice, “Leave!”

Wang Lin didn't even raise his head, just letting out a faint "Get lost" that immediately ignited the man's anger. He glanced at the girl, making a firm decision in his heart - he absolutely couldn't lose face; otherwise, all his previous boasts would be exposed as empty words.

He lowered his voice and said to Wang Lin, "Brother, give me some face."

Wang Lin glanced at him, then at the girl. He felt a wave of disgust and decided to teach the man a lesson.

He pulled out five hundred-dollar bills from his pocket and slapped them on the table, "Get out!"

That man seemed to be provoked by Wang Lin's actions, intentionally showing off his wealth in front of his target by smashing money on the table He gritted his teeth and took out a few more bills from his pocket, throwing them onto the table.

Wang Lin didn't stop, and from his pocket he once again pulled out a few cards and slammed them onto the table.

The man was furious, his pockets embarrassingly empty. He rummaged through them for a long time before finally producing two more bills, slamming them down on the table with a bang.

Wang Lin had looked at men until he was at his limit. He hurriedly got up, tidied the large bills on the table and put them in his pocket, a flattering smile on his face.

"Thanks, big brother! I'll be leaving now. Have a good night."

Reached the door, I shouted to the boss lady again, "Sis! I'm leaving first! See you tomorrow!"

"Welcome anytime!" the hostess waved and smiled.

After Wang Lin left, the man stood there, clenching his fists tightly and staring at the door with blazing eyes.

He didn't expect Wang Lin to suddenly take the money and leave. This wasn't according to his script! He was planning to spend more money, then walk away with the cash, but now his money had been taken by him instead!

He was feeling incredibly uncomfortable, like he had swallowed a fly. He finally managed to ask the girl out, and with a thousand dollars in his pocket, he had planned to sweep her off her feet. But now he didn't have a single cent, let alone anything to impress her!

Squatting on the ground, Wang Lin counted the money and felt even happier. "Just a short while and I made one thousand yuan, ha ha ha! So cool! If I could do this every day, that would be great."

As he rounded a corner, he suddenly heard a woman screaming repeatedly.

"Don't run, don't you run!"

Following the sound, he saw a young man running towards Wang Lin without looking back.

No way, waking up to something good already Am I being asked to be a hero and save the day

Wang Lin's heart was filled with excitement. He had always dreamed of being a hero since he was a child, fantasizing about one day becoming a great hero who saved the world.

"Let's start with being a good Samaritan!"

He pointed a finger at the fleeing man in a cocky manner, then kept beckoning towards himself.

It was obvious to anyone what was happening, and seeing this, the man didn't hesitate, he sped towards Wang Lin.

When he ran up to Wang Lin, Wang Lin grabbed his arm, spun around and performed a shoulder throw, sending the man crashing to the ground.

The man cried out in pain, "Ouch! What are you doing"

"Humph! No need to pretend. What did you steal from that beauty Give it back!"

Wang Lin glared at the man, snarling, "

".

"Are you crazy You..."

Just as he was about to speak again, he caught sight of the beauty almost catching up to him. He immediately shut his mouth and turned to run.

"Still trying to run In broad daylight, under the clear sky, you dare to rob a woman of her belongings!"

Wang Lin took two steps and made one, running a few steps to catch up to the man, then grabbed his arm to prevent him from escaping again.

"Are you crazy That woman is a prostitute, let go of me!" the man shouted urgently at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin was taken aback. He turned his head to look at the woman and found that she had already run up to him, drenched in sweat.

Thank you, little brother.

She winked at Wang Lin while speaking, making him feel a chill.

The man saw that Wang Lin's grip had loosened, so he immediately broke free and ran away quickly.

The woman looked at Wang Lin, then at the man who had run away. She was conflicted in her heart. The man's appearance and features were to her liking, but he didn't want her, and she couldn't catch up to him.

Although the person in front of me looks average, they have an air of nobility. Their eyes are filled with determination, a hint of hardship, and a depth that is captivating.

The woman nodded in satisfaction, making her decision instantly. She took Wang Lin's hand and sweetly hugged his arm against her chest, rubbing it intentionally against her own.

Wang Lin also reacted at this time, awkwardly said, "That, I should go home, please let go, okay"

"Oh my~ Little brother, it's still early. How about we find somewhere to play for a bit"

And fearing that Wang Lin wouldn't understand, she also shot a flirtatious glance at Wang Lin, which made Wang Lin's skin crawl.

The beauty pulled Wang Lin forward, but Wang Lin stood still. Seeing that she couldn't pull him, the beauty turned her head and smiled at Wang Lin.

"What's wrong Little brother, are you afraid I'm going to eat you"

Most people would have probably followed along by now, but Wang Lin, as a seasoned virgin, knew very well that if he went, he'd be at a disadvantage. He could only lie.

"Baby, I have a girlfriend waiting for me at home."

"Home flowers can't compare to the fragrance of wildflowers, sister! I'm doing great!"

"No need, no need"

Wang Lin pulled open her arms that were hugging herself, turned around and ran, leaving the beauty standing alone.

"Tsk, coward!"

Wang Lin ran home as if escaping, locked the door, leaned against the door and let out a breath of relief, then shook his head and smiled wryly. they walked out of the exhibition hall in groups of three or two.The manager kept talking behind Wang Ying, but Wang Ying acted as if she couldn't hear a word, riding away on her electric bike withou...
