A Beautiful Day Begins with Being Deceived

Magic City Pinxixi Headquarters

When Wang Tao entered the office for work, a night shift staff member came over to tell him some shocking news.

"Manager Wang, the person who was blocked and took away 200,000 yuan by clicking 'chop a knife' last night, he... he successfully placed another order for a fruit phone for nine dollars and ninety cents."

"What? Successful again? Have all the loopholes and bugs been checked?"

Wang Tao frowned and sat in his chair, not showing much concern. For such a large company, this loss was nothing.

"Manager Wang, we've checked countless times and can't find any loopholes or bugs. Moreover, that person took all ten Fruit Sixteen phones at once, and only paid ninety-nine yuan in total."

"What? All... successfully chopped? Is the other party a streamer? How many chops did it take?"

"O... one chop. The other party just had one person chop once and it was successful. And it was the same person for all ten times..."

"I..."

Wang Tao's eyes widened instantly. He opened his mouth to curse, but then remembered that he himself had led the development of this "chop a knife" program. Was he going to curse himself?

"Damn it, why didn't you notify me earlier? There must be a loophole you haven't found. I'll go check with the tech department first."

Wang Tao left in a hurry. After more than an hour of checking, he couldn't find any issues.

"Manager Wang, should we ship the fruit phones? Or should we just block his account and not send him the phones?"

An employee's voice came from behind him. Wang Tao's mind was a mess at this moment. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said:

"No, a company as big as ours reneging on tens of thousands of yuan for phones would severely damage our reputation. Ship them!"

"However, lock that person's mobile account. Don't send him any more 'chop a knife' links in the future. He must have mastered some unknown loophole in 'chop a knife'."

Lu Fan slept until past ten in the morning. If he could have slept any longer, he wouldn't have gotten up.

He opened his phone and sent a message to Top Campus Belle Liu. Then he checked his Pinxixi account and found that all ten Fruit Sixteen phones had been shipped.

"I knew it. How could such a big company haggle with me over tens of thousands of yuan? Pinxixi really has some class."

Just as he was about to open "chop a knife" to earn some breakfast money, he discovered that all the "chop a knife" activities on his Pinxixi were gone. The interface was so clean that he suspected his phone had a virus.

Not only were the "chop a knife" cash-grabbing activities gone, but the link to get a fruit phone for nine dollars and ninety cents was also nowhere to be found.

"Damn it, I take back what I said earlier. I only scammed you for over 200,000 yuan, is that enough to give my account special treatment?"

Seeing that his plan to "farm the sheep" was ruined, Lu Fan glanced at the system panel in his mind. The system had previously indicated that he could draw a prize once his points reached ten.

He currently had three points, meaning he still had to be scammed seven more times to be eligible for the draw.

"While my reputation as an idiot is still intact, I should hurry to school and see if I can accumulate these ten points."

Looking forward to the prize draw, Lu Fan quickly got up and washed.

His Aunt Lu Fanghua, afraid that her nephew wouldn't take care of himself, had stuffed his wardrobe full of clothes and shoes. She also told him to throw his dirty clothes into a large hamper.

Every weekend, she arranged for work-study students to help him clean his clothes and tidy up his living space. The washed and dried clothes and shoes were then neatly arranged for him again, which was why his place, as an idiot's residence, wasn't that messy.

Dressed neatly, Lu Fan looked at his handsome reflection in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

"A beautiful day begins with being scammed!"

As soon as he entered the campus, Lu Fan saw two girls walking past him, chatting and laughing, carrying a pile of food.

Without a word, he blocked their path and reached into the bag, taking out a box of bread and a bottle of AD calcium milk.

Amidst the bewildered expressions of the two girls, Lu Fan gave them a silly smile and turned to leave.

"Yinyin, that scoundrel stole our food!"

"Forget it, he's just that idiot Lu Fan. A box of bread and a bottle of milk aren't worth much.

I saw on the forum that Qin Shousheng from the computer science department scammed him out of all his money. He's probably starving and desperate for food.

Actually, he's quite decent. Look, I have so many snacks in my bag, but he only took bread and milk. He's not greedy at all.

Compared to those who scammed him out of his money, his character is already very good."

"You're right, Yinyin. I heard that Qin Shuguang scammed him out of over two thousand yuan yesterday. He even took all his change. That person is truly wicked. Compared to him, this idiot is indeed a great person."

Lu Fan, who hadn't gone far, was beaming. He never imagined that the identity of this idiot would be so useful. He stole their food, and the two girls actually praised him.

Not long after walking away, a tall guy with a girl wrapped around his arm blocked his path. Lu Fan looked up and his face instinctively showed a silly smile. His first business deal had arrived!

He vaguely remembered this guy's name was Liu something. He had borrowed money from him a few times before. This guy blocking his path now was probably just running into him and trying to probe him.

"Classmate Lu Fan, did your aunt give you your living expenses again? My mother's diabetes has relapsed, and she needs a lot of money every day. I haven't eaten for three days. Can you lend me some if you have any money?"

The classmate let go of his girlfriend and stood in front of Lu Fan, playing the victim. However, the sly smile on his face didn't match his words at all.

Behind him, his girlfriend had a look of resignation, and her eyes were filled with disdain and mockery when she glanced at Lu Fan.

Lu Fan put on his signature silly smile, his heart blooming with joy. This was how the plot should unfold! If no one came to borrow money, how could he accumulate ten points?

"Borrow money? But... my aunt just transferred me two thousand yuan, and I only have this much left."

"You just transferred two thousand?"

Classmate Liu's eyes lit up. He turned around and pinched himself hard, forcing a tear to well up in his eye. Then, he looked pitifully at Lu Fan.

"Classmate Lu Fan, I haven't eaten in three days. I'm starving.

My mom's diabetes has gotten worse, and she needs hospital treatment every few days. Our family really can't afford it.

As a classmate, shouldn't you show some compassion and help me out?"

"This... I should definitely help. We're classmates, after all!"

Lu Fan tried his best not to laugh, but if he had to laugh, he'd look foolish and clueless.

"That's right, we're classmates! Classmate Lu Fan, hurry up and lend me the money!"

Classmate Liu impatiently pulled out his phone with a QR code. His girlfriend, standing behind him, walked over with a smile. Lu Fan's gaze immediately locked onto the girl's impressive chest.

Damn, does this girl's family raise cows?

His eyes darted around, and a mischievous idea popped into his head.

"Classmate, my aunt just told me not to lend money to classmates easily. If I'm going to lend money, I need something in return."

Lu Fan put his phone, which was ready to scan the code, back into his pocket, covering the payment interface with a foolish expression.

Classmate Liu watched his chance slip away and desperately wanted to curse.

"Classmate Lu Fan, what do you want in return? All the money in my family goes to my mom's medical treatment. I don't have anything valuable."

"Uh..."

Lu Fan's gaze swept around, finally settling on his girlfriend's chest.

"I want to eat steamed buns, buns made of white flour!"

"Ah! You idiot, where are you looking?!"

The girl, caught by Lu Fan's stare, angrily covered her chest and started yelling. Classmate Liu's face instantly darkened.
