"Ding ding ding—"
The harsh sound of the alarm clock jolted Lin Xiaofan awake from his stupor. He abruptly turned over and hit his forehead hard against the upper bunk, the pain snapping him to full awareness—this was not his rented apartment, but the cheapest private room in the "Speedy Internet Cafe" near the university town.
"Damn it!" Lin Xiaofan rubbed the rapidly swelling bump on his forehead as memories from last night flooded back like a tidal wave.
He trembled as he lit up his phone screen: 8:47 AM, just 13 minutes until he had to clock in for work. The bank app icon on the screen seemed to glow with magic. Taking a deep breath, he tapped it open—balance: 10,147.85 yuan.
"This isn't a dream... it's really not a dream..."
Lin Xiaofan's finger left a trail of sweat on the screen. He flipped through his banking records over and over again, finally pinching his thigh hard. The pain mixed with overwhelming joy made his heart race almost out of his chest.
A knock sounded on the glass door of the internet cafe, and a blonde-haired attendant peeked in. "Hey man, your overnight time is up. Want to renew?"
"Not renewing," Lin Xiaofan replied hoarsely, suddenly remembering something. "Wait, can you print things here?"
Ten minutes later, Lin Xiaofan burst out of the internet cafe clutching a stack of freshly printed documents. The morning sun was blinding, but he couldn't afford to care—he had spent all night researching the registration process for charitable organizations.
"Hello? Supervisor Zhang? I need to take a sick leave this morning... yes, acute gastroenteritis... I'll definitely be there in the afternoon..."
After hanging up, Lin Xiaofan rushed to the nearest seal engraving shop. The owner behind the glass counter was busy doing her nails and didn't look up as she asked, "What service do you need?"
"Registering a foundation," Lin Xiaofan slapped the printed materials onto the counter. "What's the fastest you can get it done?"
Only then did the owner lift her head, sizing him up with his wrinkled shirt and cracked shoes before letting out a light snort. "For a complete set of materials, including approval from the Civil Affairs Bureau, it's eight thousand yuan. You’ll get the certificate in three days."
"Eight thousand?" Lin Xiaofan gasped.
"Too expensive?" The owner rolled her eyes. "Young man, do you know how long a proper process takes? At least two months!"
Lin Xiaofan gritted his teeth and pulled out his phone. He found the record of his donation to an anti-cancer foundation from last night; according to the system's rules, if he donated eight thousand...
"Can I pay a deposit first? I'll come back this afternoon with the full payment."
The owner scoffed, "If you don't have money, don't pretend to start a foundation."
Lin Xiaofan dashed out of the seal shop, sweat soaking through his back. He stood by the roadside, breathing heavily. Suddenly, his gaze fell on a sign across the street for a legal consulting company.
"Agency registration... charitable organization..."
An hour later, Lin Xiaofan walked out of the legal consulting company with a receipt and a stack of stamped blank documents in hand. The lawyer wearing gold-rimmed glasses patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Lin, the procedures for 'Xiaofan Love Foundation' can be completed this afternoon. One hundred thousand yuan includes registration capital and our service fee; it's quite a bargain."
One hundred thousand. Lin Xiaofan swallowed hard. According to the system's rules, he needed to donate one thousand yuan first.
He stood at the entrance of a café beneath the law firm, trembling fingers operating his phone. After transferring one thousand yuan for donation, almost instantly came a bank notification: [Income 100,000 yuan Note: Kindness Reward].
