The middle-aged driver waved his hand repeatedly. “No, no, no. How can that do!?”

As he spoke, he was about to return the lottery ticket to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai quickly got out of the car and said with a smile, “Just take it. It only cost me two yuan. Just treat it as a bonus.”

“You've persuaded me all the way. I think it makes sense. I won't waste money on this thing in the future.”

“Take this last card as a small gift. Thank you for letting me stop my daydreaming.”

Hearing Lin Bai's words, the middle-aged driver no longer declined.

“It's good that you can listen to what I say. You're still so young. Use your money properly. Don't be like me in the past.”

“By the way, Buddy, what's your number? The app has a privacy protection function so I can only see the last few digits of your phone number. Although I don't think it's very likely that I'll win the lottery, let's exchange numbers, just in case. That way, if I really win, I can return the lottery prize to you.”

Lin Bai refused with a smile. “No need. I've already said it just now. If this turns out to be a winning ticket, then all of the lottery prize will be yours.”

After a slight pause, Lin Bai specially emphasized, “No matter how much it is, it's all yours.”

The middle-aged driver said, “I can't accept that…”

“Hey, we're talking as if it's really going to be a winning ticket. I've bought lottery tickets for so many years, but I've never even won the last prize of 10 yuan.”

Lin Bai went with the flow and said, “So, this is actually just a small piece of paper. It's not worth much. It's not even considered a gift.”

“Don't waste your time here with me. Hurry up and accept the next ride.”

The driver nodded. “Okay, I'll be leaving now.”

“Okay, bye.”

Lin Bai said goodbye to him with a smile and turned to walk towards the entrance of the car dealership.

He was very sure that the lottery ticket he gave out would definitely be a winning one.

After all, with the luck of the system reward, even if it was a random lottery ticket, it was impossible for the driver to not win anything.

As for how much money he could win, he would have to wait until the lottery draw results tomorrow to find out.

Lin Bai could also use this to determine how much luck he actually had.

Then, he would be able to find out if his luck was affected or suppressed along with his special ability.

He would just have to wait for the lottery draw results tomorrow.

Lin Bai silently recalled the number on the lottery ticket.

Although he had only glanced at it briefly before sending it out, the numbers on it were clearly imprinted in his mind.

He didn't know when it started, but his memory skills, just like his physical fitness, had reached a level that far surpassed that of an ordinary person.

Presumably, it was also a modification brought about by the system.

The salespeople at the car dealership were very enthusiastic. As soon as Lin Bai entered, they immediately welcomed him.

“Hello, Sir. What kind of car do you want to look at?”

Lin Bai asked straightforwardly, “Anything that costs below 200,000 yuan. Do you have any recommendations?”

The salesperson smiled and replied, “You can take a look at this one. It's a new Chevrolet model that was launched last month. Including the taxes, the actual price is 188,000 yuan. It's very in line with your budget.”

“If you're interested, I can introduce its performance and characteristics to you in detail.”

Lin Bai took a look. The snow-white body of the car was very smooth, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

As for the performance, he didn't know much about it, so it was a waste of time to listen to it.

“Can I test drive it?” He asked.

The salesperson nodded repeatedly. “Of course.”

Lin Bai directly sat in the car.

The salesperson also quickly got in the car and sat in the passenger seat, introducing the interior of the car non-stop.

Lin Bai ignored her words and started the car by himself. It felt good to drive around.

“I'll take this one.”

“… Huh?”

The salesperson was introducing the car endlessly. When she suddenly heard Lin Bai's words, she could not react in time.

Lin Bai repeated very nicely, “I said, I'll take this one.”

The salesperson's eyes immediately lit up. She said hurriedly, “Okay, okay, I'll help you with the administrative procedures! Would you like to pay by credit card or by bank transfer?”

“Mobile payment transfer.”

“Okay, okay.”

The salesperson jogged all the way to the contract.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Bai took out his phone and logged into the local government's license plate raffle page. After filling in all the information, he clicked submit.

S City had been developing quite well in recent years. There were more and more private cars, so the government had started to limit the number of cars.

The available license plate numbers would be released once a month, and the results would be announced on the 16th.

It was the 16th today.

In another half an hour, it would be time to announce the results.

Lin Bai followed the salesperson through various procedures, and it was about time.

The salesperson asked casually, “Mr. Lin, this is your first time buying a car. Did you manage to get the license plate number?”

Lin Bai said, “Yes, I did just now. Wait for me to see the results.”

He unlocked his phone and received a text message before he could log in to the website.

Just as he expected, he shook it.

But this license plate number..

S888888!

Lin Bai looked at the string of digit “8”on the text message and felt dizzy. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He had deliberately bought a car at a cheap price just to try to keep a low profile and not attract too much attention.

In the end, he had randomly chosen a number, and it was string of six '8's!

How could he keep a low profile with such a license plate?

Not to mention a Chevrolet that cost nearly 200,000 yuan, even if the license plate was on a bicycle, he would not be able to keep a low profile!

He was really worried.

The salesman saw Lin Bai's worried face and thought that he did not manage to get a license plate number. She smiled and comforted him, “It's very normal to not get a number in one try. My colleagues and I only got one after several attempts.”

“Mr. Lin, don't be discouraged. There's still a chance next month.”

Lin Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he asked her, “Then if I've already gotten a number, can I try again next month?”

“Ah?”

The salesperson was stunned again. It wasn't that she didn't hear what Lin Bai said clearly, but she couldn't believe her ears.

To be more precise, she couldn't believe Lin Bai's luck.

Lin Bai simply showed her the text message.

“I did get a number, but I don't really want this number. Can I change it?”

The salesperson focused her eyes and took a look. A series of “8s”appeared on the text message notification. She immediately felt dizzy and seriously suspected that she was dreaming.

He got a license plate with a string of six digit '8' s and yet, he didn't want it. She thought, 'Is he kidding!?!'

Lin Bai was still waiting for her answer.

“I haven't really understood the rules of the license plate lottery. Can I change it or not?”

The salesperson's mouth twitched. “Hahaha, Mr. Lin, you're so humorous.”

She would never believe that this was true!

She could believe that he had obtained a number. After all, there were some colleagues who were lucky enough to win it in one go.

But a string of six eights??

And he still said that he didn't want it? ? ?

She wouldn't believe it, over her dead body!

Lin Bai took his phone back from her and said very seriously, “I'm not joking with you.. I really want to know whether this license plate number can be changed or not.”
