The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Lin Fan thought that the residents would trust him a lot after the whole saga with Mr. Yang helping to advertise for him.

But what made Lin Fan fed up was that all these residents were just asking about when they would win the lottery…

Lin Fan finally understood that he over-thought too many things. Mr. Yang winning the lottery had such a great impact on them that besides winning the lottery, they did not care about anything else.

“The sky must be falling; how could these people be like that? Who’s to say someone had to win the top prize every day? That’s just luck, alright? Do you agree, Fraud Tian?” Lin Fan sighed as he sat on the stool after everyone had left. He was exhausted.

“Fraud?”

Lin Fan shouted for a few times but did not get any reply. Then, as he turned behind, he only saw Fraud Tian’s sly look as if he wanted a favor from him.

“Why are you looking at me for?” Lin Fan asked.

Then, Fraud Tian suddenly screamed. After that, he said softly, “Don’t tell me you managed to predict the winning ticket…”

“Weren’t you there on that afternoon?” Lin Fan rebutted. He knew that even Fraud Tian wouldn’t believe in what had actually happened.

“Could it be that there is really a divine fortune-teller in this world? Even the best and most renown fortune-teller from Lian Zhou, Mr. Wu Tian He is a fraud. If you’re really able to fortune tell so accurately, you are destined to earn big money!” Fraud Tian mumbled to himself and seemed a little agitated.

“Who is this Wu Tian He?” Lin Fan asked.

“That’s the most renown fortune-teller from Lian Zhou. Many court officials and superstars believe him. He’s considered to be one of the best in this field of work,” Fraud Tian said enviously.

“Looks like you envy him a lot. Why should you be so envious? I can be that f*cking awesome too. Now that I have $300,000, let’s use it tomorrow to go look for him. Let’s use an official way to expand our business.”

Lin Fan was now filled with noble aspirations. Although the knowledge he had in making scallion pancakes was all fraudulent, this second one was indeed decent.

He could change someone’s life in a sentence. If he had the opportunity to meet someone wealthy, he would have been able to earn big bucks.

All Lin Fan wanted to do was to earn lots of money so that he could become the Master Lin that everyone respected and then unlock the second page of the encyclopedia. If he received another piece of godly knowledge, then his life would be changed for good.

Fraud Tian listened to Lin Fan’s perfect plan and was mesmerized by it as he thought of the luxurious life he was going to have in the future.

….

Lin Fan had packed up his stall early in the afternoon. When Lin Fan returned home, the neighbors welcomed him warmly.

“Lil’ Fan… No, I mean Master Lin is back!”

“Master Lin’s fortune-telling is so d*mn accurate. Elder Zhang really fractured his leg today.”

“Master Lin please look at us and read our fortunes.”

Lin Fan was so fed up with these neighbors but he realized that there was nothing more that he could’ve done. Elder Zhang did not believe in his words and he couldn’t have forced him to do so.

If the other party didn’t want to believe him, he wouldn’t have been able to help further. But these neighbors were pestering him for their fortunes to be read and that gave Lin Fan a headache. He had previously done it for them and there was nothing significant worth mentioning.

“Ladies and gentleman, I have already done it for all of you yesterday. There’s really nothing much!” Lin Fan said as he waved his hand as he tried to brush them aside.

“Ugh, we’re begging you, Master Lin, please help us once more.”

“Yeah, just once more! Do it more specifically for us.”

Lin Fan did not want to waste any more time on them, “I’m exhausted, I will be busy with the opening of my fortune-telling stall. You guys can come show your support then!”
