"Why only one chance? Come on, at least give me three—it's my first time," Lin Feng complained as he saw only a single spin available.
[Oh, your first time? How cute. Still only one spin. This isn't a charity wheel.]
The system replied with its usual sarcasm.
Lin Feng sighed and looked at the shimmering lottery wheel. There were about a hundred slots flickering with various colors and different sizes.
The most noticeable ones were small slots that flickered with golden, silver, and violet colors. Clearly the highest possible rewards.
[Driving Skills (Excellent)]
[Medical Skills (Elite)]
[Perfect Physique (Elite)]
[Intelligence Boost (Elite)]
Lin Feng glanced at the high rewards and his heart skipped a bit. The things inside the small slots were really good compared to the bigger ones, which only gave him a few hundred god coins.
If there was any good thing about this lottery wheel, then it was the lowest prize, which was not some trash but ten god coins. Maybe not much but at least something useful.
"Hey, system, what about the master-tier skills? Why are they not here?" Lin Feng asked.
The level of skills was divided into five tiers, and they were below average, average, excellent, elite, and master.
There were additional tiers, but first, Lin Feng needed to level up from being certified as poor.
[Master-tier skills? Those are locked behind something called financial credibility. Come back when your wallet stops crying.]
The system, as ever, mocked him for being poor.
Lin Feng could only curse in silence and spin the lottery wheel with hope.
Whrrrrrr!
Despite not having any mechanical parts, the lottery wheel spun with a sound and the slots became blurred with a whirlwind of colors.
Who knows why but when the wheel slowed down, it spun fast once again, almost making Lin Feng curse rapidly.
However, he calmed himself down, as it would be a bad idea to curse the system now.
Click. Click. Click.
The wheel finally slowed down, and the pointer passed through several big prizes before hovering on the small ones.
Click.
After a few seconds, the wheel came to a halt—its pointer landing within the golden slot by the width of a hair.
[Congratulations! You have won: Perfect Physique (Excellent).]
A golden glow flashed across the panel, and a surge of warmth spread inside Lin Feng's body, changing his muscles, bones, and even skin at a molecular level.
"Body Cleansing…?" Lin Feng muttered with surprise as a dark substance was expelled through his pores.
[Perfect Physique installed. Enjoy your new body, Mr. Formerly Fragile.]
The system did not let the chance go.

After winning the lottery, Lin Feng didn't waste any time—he headed straight back to his apartment to take a bath. The black substance, although not much, smelled horrible so he made sure to wash a few times.
Once he was done, he looked at the things he ordered today. There was not much but some clothes, a cheap phone, a second-hand laptop, and a few other essential things.
Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong!
Suddenly the doorbell to his apartment rang fiercely.
Lin Feng almost got a death scare because of this, as he thought his grandfather had arrived.
But thinking how he will just break the door rather than ringing it, he sighed with relief. Then he became puzzled at who would come here.
The apartment he lived in was in a well-known society with excellent security. There was no way someone unknown would come here and ring on his door.
Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong!
"Wait, I am coming," Lin Feng shouted and after donning some clothes, he opened the door only to become stunned.
"Little girl, did you lose your way?" He inquired, looking at the twelve-year-old little girl who was furious for some reason.
"Are you Lin Feng?!" The little girl clenched her teeth in hatred.
Lin Feng was once again stunned, but he nodded.
"Yes, I am, but who are you?" he inquired.
Hearing his reply, the little girl lost her temper.
"Who am I?! Aren't I the person you saved and that's why my grandpa transferred you to his school?" she said it angrily.
"Ah, so you are the granddaughter of Principal Yu," Lin Feng finally understood what was happening.
"Yes, I am Principal Yu's granddaughter, Yu Ziyan! And since you don't know me, tell me how you saved me!" Yu Ziyan questioned with an unpleasant look.
The rumor about Lin Feng saving her was false! She would not care too much since they were just rumors; however, even her grandfather and her parents said it was true— clearly trying to trick her, which made her furious.
"Little girl, go back home and sleep. The outside world is not for you," Lin Feng advised with a serious look.
Hell, even he did not know what happened. Since childhood, he had been homeschooled. Who knows what happened but the old man at home became angry and kicked him out in the name of experiencing the world.
This all happened yesterday and for some reason he was forced to become a student. Fortunately a system arrived so he did not care about this too much.
"You!" Yu Ziyan became furious and just as she was about to shout more, an old man with a long beard came running.
"Ziyan, why are you troubling student Lin Feng?" Yu Zhenhai inquired with a glare.
He was none other than the famous principal Yu.
"Grandpa…" The little girl pursed her lips with an unhappy expression and looked away.
Seeing her like this, Yu Zhenhai shook his head and looked at Lin Feng apologetically.
"I apologize on Ziyan's behalf. I hope yo—"
"No need. She is just a little girl; let her play and do whatever she wants as long as it is not something harmful," Lin Feng spoke before the principal could complete his words.
"I understand student Lin Feng," Principal Yu nodded humbly.
If anyone saw this, their jaws would definitely drop to the ground just like the little girl's.
"Little girl, don't run out at night all alone; there are evil people everywhere." Lin Feng smiled and pinched the little girl's small nose while giving her advice.
Yu Ziyan was furious once again, but she refrained from talking, as she felt this might cause trouble for her grandfather.
"S-student Lin Feng about school..." Principal Yu spoke with a difficult tone.
"I will attend but don't expect me to be obedient."
"Y-yes, yes, I understand this."
Principal Yu spoke and after saying a few more words, he left.
His apartment was just a few steps away from Lin Feng's; no wonder the little girl could come here to trouble him.
"It's time to sleep," Lin Feng said as he closed the door and after eating the takeout, he headed straight to bed.

The next day, Qinghe No. 1 High was just as serious as before. Many have even forgotten Lin Feng transferring to their school and skipping it midway.
Of course the class 3-A remembered him, even if they were focused on studying; however, not in a good way. Many thought Lin Feng was a coward who did not dare to face Zhao Ming, a school bully.
Ring!
The school bell rang and the class led by head teacher Qin Xiaoyu began.
"Where is Lin Feng?"
As soon as she entered, she looked for the boy who skipped school.
"Miss Qin, he did not come to school today," a female student replied.
Hearing this, Qin Xiaoyu frowned with an unpleasant look.
"Okay, take out your textbooks; we will continue from where we left off yesterday," she decided to forget about him for now and instructed everyone as she prepared to start the revision.
However, before she could do this, calm footsteps echoed from the corridor, after which a figure entered the class with a leisurely look, heading toward its own seat.
Who it was? Lin Feng!
Watching his arrival, everyone in the class was stunned. But Lin Feng did not care and sat at his desk thinking about the investment panel.
On the way to school, he started to experiment with investment functions; thus, he came late. If not for the fact he promised Principal Yu, he might not even attend it. Well, that was a lie because he still feared his grandfather.
"Lin Feng!" Qin Xiaoyu shouted with a cold look.
Yesterday, Principal Yu wanted to warn Qin Xiaoyu and Zhao Ming, but Lin Feng said not to, as there would be no fun, hence why she dared to shout and why Zhao Ming looked at him with a disdainful sneer.
"Hmm?" Lin Feng glanced at the beautiful head teacher and became a little surprised.
The reason was a few words hovering overhead.
[Detected Investment Potential: Can earn up to 1,000 God Coins per day.]
[Minimum Investment: 1 million yuan]
[Profitably: 50 percent still decreasing…]
'She is the highest investment potential I have ever met,' Lin Feng thought to himself.
The investment function would display such statistics for every person he met with or interacted with, and since there were not many he knew, Qin Xiaoyu was the highest.
