"Are you waiting for me?" Since Li Zhong regarded Lin Feng as an extraordinary master, Lin Feng decided to play along, folding his arms and pretending to be a skilled expert as he asked.
"Yes." Li Zhong had already experienced the feeling of being ignored earlier with Lin Feng, and now he didn't know how to get closer; he simply answered Lin Feng's question.
"Why are you waiting for me?" Lin Feng knew that Li Zhong was here waiting for him, but he was curious about why Li Zhong would wait for him. Was it just because he caught his flying knife with empty hands and impressed Li Zhong?
Of course, this was just a thought in his mind; Lin Feng didn't think he was that impressive.
"I want to become stronger..." Li Zhong replied firmly, a reckless determination shining in his eyes that made Lin Feng's heart tremble slightly.
Everyone wants to become stronger; no one wants to be weak—this is human nature. But without experiencing life's hardships and the challenges that come with it, one wouldn't have such a strong desire to grow stronger. The determination in Li Zhong's eyes told Lin Feng another piece of information—this was a person with a story.
"Do you think such a reason can convince me?" Although Lin Feng had gained some understanding of Li Zhong's determination, he was still not satisfied. He needed to delve deeper into what lay in Li Zhong's heart, perhaps the story he buried deep within himself—the story that made him eager to become stronger.
"I..." There was hesitation in Li Zhong's gaze. Although he felt that Lin Feng could help him, their interaction had not been deep enough yet. But then he realized that from the moment he came here to wait for this man, he had already chosen to trust him.
"I hope to become stronger and find my sister." In the end, Li Zhong expressed what was on his mind, looking at Lin Feng with hopeful anticipation.
In truth, Li Zhong felt somewhat out of options because he knew that the chances of finding his sister on his own were almost negligible. Even if he did find her, would he be able to take her away from that mysterious organization?
Although Lin Feng might not necessarily succeed either, the odds were certainly much better than if he tried alone.
The mention of "sister" plunged Lin Feng into memories. The little girl who used to pout when she was angry and always wanted to sleep in his arms at night must have grown up by now!
Although Lin Feng had been reborn back to ten years ago during his sophomore year in college, neither in his past life nor this one had he returned home since starting college to save on travel expenses. Still, he missed his foster mother, who treated him like her own child, and the adorable little girl.
"It seems I should go home during this winter break. The reborn me shouldn't be short on money anymore, even though I don't have any right now," Lin Feng thought as he planned to visit his foster mother and sister during the winter break, reinforcing his determination to earn money.
Shaking his head to pull himself back from his memories, Lin Feng began to consider Li Zhong's words and asked, "Is it difficult to find your sister?" From Li Zhong's tone, Lin Feng sensed that it was indeed a challenge; otherwise, with Li Zhong's abilities, he wouldn't need to ask for Lin Feng's help.
"Yes, it's very difficult, at least for me," Li Zhong replied seriously, not wanting to be vague now that Lin Feng was contemplating his words. He revealed the true difficulty of the situation.
Lin Feng was quite satisfied with Li Zhong's performance from the beginning until now. Although Li Zhong had thrown a flying knife at him initially, their positions were different at that time, so it wasn't appropriate to say much about it.
"Why should I help you?" Lin Feng then looked into Li Zhong's eyes and asked.
Lin Feng was not human and did not possess human abilities; he would not accept a challenge that had nothing to do with him without reason. Therefore, he needed something in return from Li Zhong.
"I can serve you as long as you can help me find my sister," Li Zhong said earnestly.
"Haha... I'll tentatively believe you. If I confirm that what you said is true, I will do my best to help you find your sister because I also have a lovely sister." As he spoke the last part, a doting expression appeared in Lin Feng's eyes.
Li Zhong remained silent but nodded seriously.
"Now, tell me where there is a casino in City B, a mid-level city. One that is relatively reputable." Since he had decided to help him, Lin Feng directly stated his current request, believing it wouldn't be an issue for Li Zhong.
"Are you going to gamble?" Li Zhong asked.
"Don't call me 'young hero,' just call me Lin Feng. I'm not going to gamble; I'm going to make money." For Lin Feng, going to a casino was simply about making a profit.
"Make money?" Li Zhong was initially uncertain but then realized Lin Feng's displayed abilities and figured that he must have some way to ensure he would win without losing.
"Yes, there’s a casino in the west of the city; it's probably the largest casino in City B. You can play anything there, and anyone can enter. There are rich people, white-collar workers, and even laborers who are itching to play." After thinking for a moment, Li Zhong began to explain.
"Then let's go there." Without hesitation, Lin Feng hailed a taxi and headed with Li Zhong to the casino he mentioned.
Upon arriving at their destination, as Lin Feng stepped out of the car and pushed open the door, he saw the so-called casino. There was no sign at the entrance; it seemed that such places could not openly display their names.
"Let's go in!" Lin Feng pulled Li Zhong into the Casino.
Unlike the quiet outside, as soon as they entered, Lin Feng was greeted by the noise unique to the Casino. Some people were celebrating while others looked dejected; the winners cheered while the losers wore long faces, and the air was filled with shouts.
Without wasting any time, Lin Feng and Li Zhong went straight to a Slot Machine to try their luck. The choice to start with the Slot Machine was due to Lin Feng only having a meager few hundred dollars on him, which he had taken from Heizi, intending to use a portion of it to buy medicine for Dong Jie.
Since they had decided on a whim to come to the Casino to seek their first pot of gold since his rebirth, Lin Feng took a hundred dollars from that small amount as his initial betting capital. Holding that one hundred dollars in his hand, Lin Feng felt as if millions were coming his way.
After shaking off his daydreams, Lin Feng generously exchanged the entire hundred dollars for game tokens and then sat down at a machine to start winning money.
Li Zhong knew nothing about gambling but could still play the Slot Machine. He followed Lin Feng's lead and exchanged a hundred dollars for game tokens, sitting next to Lin Feng as he fiddled with the Slot Machine.
While it seemed like Li Zhong was playing with the Slot Machine, his mind was clearly elsewhere. Each time he inserted coins or made a move, he appeared distracted. It was evident that he kept glancing over at Lin Feng, clearly intrigued by how Lin Feng seemed confident about "taking money" from the Casino.
After playing for a while, within the absolute domain of Lin Feng's magic ring, the Slot Machine turned into an ATM. Listening to the sound of game tokens spilling out, Lin Feng grew increasingly fond of those who understood Slot Machines; that sound was simply delightful.
Li Zhong watched in growing astonishment. At this rate of winning, he estimated that by the end of the night, Lin Feng would surely walk away with at least a million dollars. In fact, before Li Zhong could even finish using his hundred dollars' worth of game tokens, Lin Feng had already won at least ten thousand dollars.
Also surprised was a middle-aged man who had been watching Lin Feng since he entered the Casino; it was clear that this man recognized Lin Feng...
