Earth.

Lin Fan was dumbfounded...

He had been very angry at first, after all, Qi Zixiao had crippled his Inner Force, how could he not be angry?

But after he discovered that his strength and everything else were even better than when he had Inner Force, he wasn't angry anymore.

Obviously, this 'King-level Booster' Qi Zixiao had done something with his account that he, the 'newbie,' couldn't understand at all.

But this 'something' should have more advantages than disadvantages, so naturally, there was no need to be angry.

However, after chatting with the owner of the phone store for a while, and after the owner checked the phones, he was dumbfounded.

He looked at the phone store owner: "You're saying that both of my phones have water damage?"

"Don't you know if your phone has water damage?" The owner's words carried a strong local accent: "Are you kidding me?"

Lin Fan: "..."

Good!

He began to ponder in his heart.

No wonder both phones were broken, so they were soaked in water by that spendthrift woman?! What exactly did she do?!

Qi Zixiao had no idea that her position in Lin Fan's heart had been completely 'upgraded.'

From Tigress to spendthrift woman.

Seeing Lin Fan looking dumbfounded, the owner pondered: "Bro, these phones, they aren't stolen, are they?"

"One of them was bought from you." Lin Fan glared: "Do I look like that kind of person?"

"Yes!" The owner nodded repeatedly.

Lin Fan: "..."

"Don't you have surveillance cameras? Play it back and take a look, I bought it just a few days ago!"

"That thing is just for show, just to scare people."

Damn it...

Lin Fan was dizzy, rubbing his brow: "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me if you can fix it."

The phones had to be repaired.

After all, no matter what you do, you have to contact people, right?

Even moving bricks requires confirming with people whether there are bricks or not, how can you contact them without a phone? A public phone? But you have to remember the phone number.

"The motherboard isn't burned, but the various components are severely waterlogged, it's really hard to say."

The owner stroked his chin: "Don't mention it, I've been in this business for over ten years, I've repaired no less than a thousand water-damaged phones, but I've never seen one as severe as yours."

"Even if you threw it in the washing machine and washed it for half an hour, it wouldn't be this bad..."

"???"

Lin Fan was even more dumbfounded.

This severe?

So what exactly did that spendthrift woman do?

The owner didn't know what Lin Fan was thinking, and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "It's like... how should I put it, being submerged in dozens of meters of water for half a day?"

"So... kid, where did you get these phones?"

"I bought them myself!"

Lin Fan was overwhelmed.

How is he supposed to deal with this?

"Alright, I won't ask how you got them, just tell me if you want them repaired, 300 each if they can be fixed, 100 if they can't."

"You want money even if you can't fix it?"

"Of course? Even if I can't fix it, I still need to charge for labor, right?"

"Fifty if you can't fix it!" Lin Fan felt it was too expensive and started to bargain.

Then, the boss grinned.

"Deal."

"..."

"Alright, you sit aside and play for a while, it'll be done in an hour or two at most."

The boss got busy.

Seeing this, Lin Fan could only wait.

Good thing he earned a few hundred after bricklaying, otherwise he really couldn't afford to fix it...

Bored while waiting, this guy started grinding his teeth again.

"So what the hell did that spendthrift Tigress go do? It's one thing not to lay bricks, but how did she manage to soak the phone dozens of meters underwater?"

"Could it be related to my changes?"

Thinking of this, Lin Fan didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Or... should he laugh?

After all, people say that handsome guys who smile have good luck?

While waiting, the TV next to him started playing local news...

A beautiful anchorwoman sat upright in the 'center of the TV', broadcasting the news.

But suddenly, a news item caught Lin Fan's attention.

"It is reported that there is new progress in the case of a man who committed suicide by jumping into Swan Lake a few days ago, but it is not that the body has been recovered.

The police are still sealing off the scene, and the body has not yet been recovered. The police have even offered a reward of ten thousand yuan to hire professional divers to retrieve the body, which shows that the matter has encountered trouble.

And today, we want to talk about another thing...

According to our station's understanding, about half a day after the man committed suicide by jumping into Swan Lake, a taxi driver encountered a 'man' soaked to the bone near Swan Lake.

According to his description, the man was about twenty-five years old, with short hair, relatively handsome, but with a pale face, without a trace of blood, and said he was going to Green Mountain Town.

However, he suddenly disappeared from the car a few kilometers away from Green Mountain Town...

Taxi driver Master Chen connected this matter with the man's suicide by jumping into Swan Lake and was so frightened that he developed a high fever and was bedridden...

Next, please watch the relevant video."

The anchorwoman's voice stopped, and the news screen switched to a video with text annotations above.

'Relevant surveillance records the scene of the man committing suicide by jumping into the lake. It can be seen that after jumping into the lake, the man did not struggle and did not reappear.'

In the picture.

A man climbed over the fence and then sat there.

Then, something attracted his attention, he glanced back slightly, and then... resolutely jumped down, disappearing from sight.

Next is the second video.

In-car surveillance in a taxi...

It can be seen that a man soaked to the bone got into the car and sat in the back row on the left. Because of the seat's obstruction, his face cannot be seen...

After a while...

Bang!

The door opened, and the person disappeared. The driver got out of the car urgently, appeared in the camera, and ran to the back of the car to check, but saw nothing...

After watching this news, Lin Fan was dumbfounded!!!

At first, looking at the back, he just felt it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

But when he 'turned his head' and saw half of the face...

Isn't that freaking me?!

So, that spendthrift woman went to 'drown herself in the lake'?!

Then she took a taxi, but because her phone was broken and she had no money, she had to jump out of the car, scaring the driver half to death, thinking he'd encountered a ghost!

Understood!

Lin Fan understood everything.

But the problem is...

How do I explain this?

Especially when he turned around and saw the boss looking at him with a very strange expression, Lin Fan felt a headache coming on.

"Boss, why are you looking at me?"

"Bro..."

The boss shuddered, "Debts have debtors, grievances have those responsible. I have no grievances or enmity with you, you, you, you... don't be impulsive."

The boss recognized Lin Fan too!

No full face? A profile is enough, after all, the person is right in front of him...

Besides, there's the phone as 'evidence'?

Lin Fan almost rolled his eyes when he heard that...

But at the same time, he felt amused and annoyed...

"No grievances or enmity? If you can't fix the phone, that might not be the case."

The fellow spoke with a faint smile, his voice eerie.

The boss's scalp tingled, and he was almost scared to pee.
