Dream Capture: I Can See Through All Secrets!

And Yu Tianxiong, looking at Lu Feng’s unfathomable eyes, knew that Mr. Lu had another idea.

He thought of the antique blue-and-white bowl from before, and also the two ships at the dock, so he was very curious: what would it be this time?

”It seems last night’s dream can be put to use,” Lu Feng said, ”Check how much is in the Xiao Toutou jackpot.”

Xiao Toutou is the official lottery of Xia Guo (a fictional world, please do not take it literally, full of desire to survive). It’s a very traditional game, with several draws announced weekly. Winnings are paid out, and because of good sales, the money from each draw accumulates and rolls into the next jackpot, so it often grows larger and larger.

Yu Tianxiong’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. He was somewhat disbelieving, and an absurd yet blood-boiling conjecture emerged: could Mr. Lu even do this?

Tian Peng, not understanding, also took out his phone to search and said, ”The current jackpot has accumulated 1.66 billion.”

Lu Feng nodded, casually picked up a pen and a sticky note from a nearby table, and ”swish, swish, swish” wrote down a long string of numbers.

Then he handed the slip of paper to Yu Tianxiong, his tone as casual as if he were discussing what to eat for lunch: ”Here, go buy tickets for this number. Buy as many as you need, even if it means emptying the jackpot, it’s up to you.”

The air instantly solidified.

Yu Tianxiong gasped.

Tian Peng’s face changed: ”!!!”

Buy... buy lottery tickets?! Empty the jackpot??!

He thought he had misheard, or that Lu Feng was joking.

Yu Tianxiong held the flimsy slip of paper, feeling it weigh a thousand pounds. Despite his suspicions, hearing it confirmed in person still left him incredibly shocked!

”That’s it, Old Yu, drive me back to school. Lao Tian, you guys go buy them. The draw is tonight. Buy fifty times, wouldn’t taking a third of the jackpot be reasonable?” Lu Feng said with a smile.

”Mr... Mr. Lu... this...”

Tian Peng hesitated, ”Lottery... the odds...”

Lu Feng looked at him, his eyes calm and unwavering, with a chilling certainty: ”Odds are for ordinary people. Just do as I say.”

His tone brooked no argument.

Yu Tianxiong also patted Tian Peng’s shoulder and said, ”Do as Mr. Lu says.”

After speaking, he respectfully said to Lu Feng, ”Mr. Lu, I’ll take you back to school first.”

Lu Feng nodded, as if he had just done a trivial thing, and got up to walk out.

Tian Peng looked at the numbers in his hand, took a deep breath, and his emotions calmed down, though his expression remained complex. He suddenly recalled a conversation he had with Yu Tianxiong earlier.

At the time, he had asked Yu Tianxiong if Mr. Lu had hired them to be bodyguards.

Yu Tianxiong had smiled meaningfully then, saying, ”You’re overthinking it. With Mr. Lu’s abilities, he doesn’t need protection at all. He... is almost omnipotent.”

Back then, he thought it was an exaggeration. Now, thinking about it...

When he returned to the training ground and told the other four about it, everyone was even more dumbfounded, their reactions more intense than Tian Peng’s.

The little bit of reliable impression that had just been built instantly crumbled.

Engineer Lei’s eyes widened as he said, ”You’re not kidding, Brother Peng, do we really have to buy them?”

”I also think... it’s just... too absurd,” Xiao Dao and Shan Bao frowned even more deeply.

Tian Peng waved his hand: ”Just do as Mr. Lu says, don’t forget, we just need to follow orders. Blacksmith, you go buy them. Didn’t you used to be into this? You’re more familiar with it.”

”Alright, I’ll go do it now.”

The Blacksmith was a simple and robust middle-aged man who was also very interested in this matter. So, after noting down the numbers, he left directly.

He took a taxi to different urban areas and then casually walked into a store by the roadside.

An hour later, the Blacksmith returned to the training hall. As soon as he entered, he found that Yu Tianxiong had already returned after dropping off Lu Feng.

”How was it?” Yu Tianxiong and the four others, including Tian Peng, inquired.

The Blacksmith took out the tickets and placed them on the table, smiling, ”I bought them.”

Everyone looked at the tickets with complex expressions, as if they weren’t looking at lottery tickets, but an incomprehensible riddle.

Yu Tianxiong took a deep breath and glanced at his watch: ”Hmm, there’s still an hour until the drawing deadline. Everyone... let’s wait and see.”
