[Name: Lucky Rabbit’s Foot]

[Quality: E]

[Usage: Increases luck for the wearer by a small margin]

Back in the real world, that mysterious voice and the so-called character panel were absent. Zhang Heng stared at the card with the bartender’s handwriting, speechless.

Such short and simple words cost him five game-points?

Even though he had a decent amount of points, he could tell that it was not cheap having seen how excited the bartender was when she’d received the points.

Zhang Heng was not the least bit surprised by the results of the identification. A rabbit’s foot was an amulet believed to bring good luck in many cultures. This item was probably responsible for how his wound remained uninfected back on the island.

His doubled time aside, this was the first supernatural item he possessed.

Taking into account its positive effects, Zhang Heng decided to wear it as a keychain.

Who would know how much that little bit of luck actually was?

Since he had nothing else to do, Zhang Heng decided to experiment with something. He went to the Wumart next to the library and bought two scratch cards costing him 20 yuan. One of them won him 10 yuan and the other 5 yuan.

After subtracting the principal, he sustained a 5 yuan loss.

After that, Zhang Heng went to another supermarket. Out of the two he bought, one said, ‘Thanks for your patronage’ and the other one won him 20 yuan.

He had broken-even.

Now, Zhang Heng had now somewhat understood the lucky rabbit’s effectiveness. He had initially hoped that his earnings would be higher than average, but alas, he still sustained a loss. Although his luck did improve, it was nothing to rave about. Any intentions of using this little bit of luck to earn money would prove to be quite the challenge.

As he was leaving the supermarket after completing the experiment, Zhang Heng spotted a young couple under a tree nearby. The guy was trying hard to explain something, but the girl kept shaking her head. When the guy reached out to pull the girl in, she sidestepped him instead.

Zhang Heng looked away. He was not about to meddle in other people’s business. Things like that practically happened every day in school. The university was the gathering of a cesspool of hormones, where all kinds of drama occurred all the time.

That being said, Zhang Heng did not have to worry about the guy doing anything beyond the pale because it was broad daylight, and they were within school grounds. Any scream whatsoever would draw the scents of overzealous young men, pouncing to save the damsel in distress.

So off to the library, Zhang Heng went.

At noon on Friday, Zhang Heng bought some snacks and outdoor supplies, its contents some mosquito repellent spray, towels, and band-aids. Wei Jiang Heng had already rented the camping gear and car; its cost split evenly among those who were going. It was 300 yuan a piece. Any overpayment was refunded, and imperfections reimbursed.

Zhang Heng was checking his camera to make sure the batteries were full when Chen Huadong and Wei Jiangyang walked into the room carrying large and small bags.

“The girls bought these. It’s tonight’s dinner. Help us load them into the car later.”

“Sure! Thanks,” exclaimed Zhang Heng, who was pretty much all packed up.
