A Valiant Life

“There are strange happenings every year, but there are particularly many this year. This has really been strange.”

Lin Fan held his phone, looking closely at the screen. But he still couldn’t tell what was so fashionable about the photo. Then, he looked up at Fraud Tian who was in front of him.

His f*cking style had changed yet again today.

His whole body was wrapped in green. And on the table was a pair of aviator sunglasses. What the f*ck was he thinking?

“What are you looking at? Has my style mesmerized you? Don’t worry, we’re all friends. I can recommend a website to you. The clothes there are not only cheap but also good-looking.

Fraud Tian grinned proudly. He already knew that he was famous now. He was very confident of his clothes because they had been bought from the website that had been recommended to him by that girl.

He had discovered that the clothes there were not only cheap but also good-looking, so he picked a number of them and bought all of them in one go.

This kid doesn’t get it. But as long as there are people who understand my fashion, that’s enough.

Look. Everyone on the Internet is talking about this. I’m leading the fashion trend!

“Let’s eat.”

Lin Fan put his head down and ate his porridge. He really couldn’t understand. Perhaps he was really lagging behind the trends.

Wu You Lan said with a smile, “Fraud, you’ve found a new source of income. There are many people who want you to be their model. They’d definitely pay a decent amount.”

“I won’t go.” Fraud Tian immediately waved his hand as if he didn’t care about all that.

Zhao Zhong Yang said, “Wow, you’re acting all awesome now. Why won’t you go?”

Fraud Tian chuckled. “I’m a man with principles. If I become their model and do whatever they tell me to do, what would that make me? I wouldn’t be able to take it. I’m not going.”

“Hahaha,” Lin Fan burst into laughter. “Fraud, they’d pay you a lot of money. Are you sure you don’t want it? Getting some extra income would be pretty good!”

“Money?” Fraud Tian was slightly taken aback. “About that… We’ll see. There will be people who’ll come looking for me. I’ll wait and see. I’m not someone who would do anything for money.”

“Are you sure about that? I just asked you for a bit of your winnings, but you couldn’t even bear to give me any. I even accompanied you to sleep yesterday!” Zhao Zhong Yang grumbled.

“F*ck off. Who would want to sleep with you? You snored all night like a pig.”

At that moment, everyone started chattering loudly.

Yun Xue Yao had put down all of her responsibilities at work. There were people in the company taking care of it. Right now, she just wanted to be by Brother Lin’s side and be their guide.

“Brother Lin, let’s visit some places of interest later. There are many places you guys haven’t been to yet,” said Yun Xue Yao cheerily.

“Alright.” Lin Fan nodded. “Eat quickly, everyone. We’ll be leaving soon.”

Lin Fung Temple. One of Haojiang’s big three ancient temples. It was a rather unique temple.

Over there, people worshipped Bodhisattva, Guan Yu, Mazu, as well as other deities. The worshippers got along well. It was a phenomenon that represented the highest level of culture in Confucian teachings.

When Lin Fan and the rest arrived, there were already many people at the entrance.

“This place isn’t big, but there are so many people.” Fraud Tian looked around. He hadn’t expected that there would be so many people here so early.

Zhao Zhong Yang said, “There are many people who come to Haojiang for vacation. We’re not the only ones so there would definitely be many people. Moreover, this place is close to several popular sites. It’s only natural that there are many people.”

The group of them walked in. Although the place was small, there were many statues inside.

Lin Fan saw Wu You Lan going in front of the Buddha’s statues and praying. He had no idea what she was praying for, but since they had come all the way here, he naturally had to go and take a look as well.

Then, he followed the crowd and went in front of a large statue and prayed.

When nighttime came, they had gone to many places. They were really content.

They returned to the hotel.

“Brother Lin, why don’t we go down to play a little?” said Wu You Lan.

Lin Fan asked with a smile, “You like to gamble?”

Wu You Lan shook her head. “I don’t. But since we’re here, I want to go and take a look.”

Yun Xue Yao said from the side, “I’ll bring you guys down.”

Lin Fan said, “Xue Yao, it’s fine if we just go to the regular lounge.”

“Okay.”

When Zhao Zhong Yang and Fraud Tian heard those words, they were excited as well, and they immediately followed behind.

The two of them knew just how amazing Lin Fan was. He was the Gambling God. If they followed him, they definitely wouldn’t lose.

In the regular VIP lounge, there was a lot of noise. Among these noises, there were cheers as well as sighs.

Yun Xue Yao brought some chips over. They were worth several hundreds of thousands but Lin Fan only took a few tens of thousands.

Wu You Lan and Liu Xu took some each to go and play.

In here, beautiful ladies were not as popular as money. And the public relations staff here were very beautiful as well.

As Lin Fan just stood there, a beautiful lady came and asked sweetly for Lin Fan to get a membership card.

“He’s my friend. He doesn’t need to get a card.” Yun Xue Yao came over.

When the lady saw her, she nodded respectfully. “Yes, Chief Yun.”

In front of the gambling table.

Lin Fan said with smile, “You Lan, go ahead and play as you like.”

“Mmm.” Wu You Lan looked at the tabletop. She didn’t understand all this, but she just threw in a chip casually.

“You Lan, you shouldn’t do that. You should put your chip here,” said Fraud Tian with a chuckle before putting in a chip as well.

It wasn’t much, but it was just for fun.

Lin Fan had already seen through everything long ago. To him, gambling was way too simple. It was so simple that it was meaningless.

Instead, he looked curiously at the scene around him. Everyone’s expressions were different.

Some were excited, while others looked blank and seemingly calm. There were also some people who looked furious.

In here, one could see all kinds of emotions.

Some of the people of Haojiang had gambled their whole lives. It wasn’t that they liked gambling very much. But they just couldn’t get rid of this habit.

For example, an elderly man next to Lin Fan kept putting in thousands of dollars. Even when he lost, he would laugh cheerily. When he won, he would laugh cheerily as well. His expression was one of joy.

Meanwhile, Wu You Lan and the rest seemed like they were playing some kind of thrilling game. When they won, they would jump excitedly. When they lost, they would sigh.

Lin Fan just smiled as he stood at the side. He didn’t give them any advice, nor did he say anything. If he were to say too much, it would become meaningless.

“Brother Lin, I lost.” Wu You Lan had lost half of her chips.

Liu Xu, on the other hand, was smiling. She was perfectly calm. Whether she won or lost, she looked the same.

“It’s fine. Take it slow. Maybe you’ll win soon,” said Lin Fan with a smile. Then, he took a chip and threw it on the table. “This one will win.”

Soon after, he really won.

Wu You Lan was thrilled. She hugged Lin Fan’s arm and jumped for joy. “You really won!”

Lin Fan chuckled. “Alright. Go ahead and play by yourself. Just enjoy yourself.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen a youngster as calm as you,” at that moment, the elderly man next to them said with a smile.

Lin Fan nodded. “The most important thing is just to enjoy the experience. If you rely on it to get rich, you’ll be disappointed.”

The old man smiled. “I didn’t think such a young man would be able to understand this. When I understood that, I was already forty.”

“Are you leaving already?” Lin Fan saw the old man about to leave so he asked curiously.

The old man nodded. “Yeah. It’s already been half an hour. I don’t like sitting for too long. I have to go home. My luck was pretty good too; I’ve already won several thousands.”
