Videogame: I Began With Top-tier Luck

Eat Something

Lin Shuang moved very quickly. He grabbed his wrist and bent it.

“Ahhh…” The hooligan’s scream resounded through the alley. He could not even hold the fruit knife in his hand properly.

Lin Shuang held the fruit knife in his hand and resisted the desire to kill that rose in his chest. He kicked the hooligan in the chest. The hooligan fainted before he could even make a sound.

In his previous life, ever since the God’s Race invaded Earth on a large scale, Lin Shuang, as a high-level player in the game, had also become a core force in defending Earth. He had experienced countless battles of various sizes and had long mastered all kinds of combat techniques.

These hooligans could not withstand a single blow from Lin Shuang.

“F*ck… You’ve trained before…” Fatty Tang was dumbfounded as he watched everything that was happening in front of him. The brick in his hand fell to the ground. The shock in his heart could not be any greater.

All the hooligans present were instantly downed by Lin Shuang. He and Lin Shuang had grown up together. How could he not know that Lin Shuang had such skills?

“Thank… thank you.” The girl in the corner walked to Lin Shuang’s side and thanked them repeatedly.

Lin Shuang shook his head and said, “It’s fine. A girl shouldn’t go out alone at night.”

“That’s right. Look, if my brother wasn’t here today…” Fatty came over and interrupted. Before he could finish speaking, he heard the girl shout in surprise.

“Lin Shuang! Tang Yu! It’s you two!”

Lin Shuang glanced at the girl. At this moment, the girl’s eyes were still red and tears still hung on her face, but her face was filled with surprise. He felt that this face was very familiar, but he could not remember it for a while.

“You are… Lu Wan?” Fatty asked.

“That’s right! Lu Wan, we were high school classmates!”

Lu Wan… Lin Shuang remembered. She was their high school classmate. In high school, Lin Shuang liked her. However, at that time, Lu Wan had many suitors. Moreover, Lu Wan had also clearly stated that her studies were more important and that she would not fall in love. Hence, Lin Shuang hid the crush in his heart.

Now that he saw Lu Wan again, she was even more beautiful than when she was in high school. Her figure had also matured and was full of charm.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you recognize your old classmate?” Lu Wan waved her fair hand in front of Lin Shuang and asked.

“N-No, of course I know you. You’re Lu Wan. You sat in front of me in high school.” Lin Shuang was interrupted from his recollection and quickly said.

At this moment, the sound of sirens came from the alley.

“Officer, over here!” Tang Yu waved his hand forcefully, and a few uniformed police officers walked over.

Lu Wan grabbed Lin Shuang’s hand and asked, “Have you eaten? I’ll treat you to a meal after recording your statements!”

...

It was almost nine o’clock in the evening when they left the police station after recording their statements. What happened was very simple. The hooligans were all repeat offenders, so they quickly settled the case. Originally, the police had wanted to publicize Lin Shuang’s heroic deeds, but he had rejected them.

“What do you guys want to eat? My treat.” Lu Wan said as the three of them walked on the street.

“Lu Wan, what do you do now? How’s your mother’s illness? Has she recovered? And your father…” Lin Shuang asked. He remembered that when they were in high school, Lu Wan’s family background was not good. Her mother was sick and needed to take medicine for a long time. Her father was also an alcoholic and could not do anything.

When he asked about her family’s situation, Lu Wan’s expression immediately darkened. “It’s still the same… but I’m already earning my own money. Although my salary isn’t high, it’s not a problem to treat you guys to a meal. If it weren’t for the both of you… so no matter what, I have to treat the two of you to a meal no matter what.

“Hey, Lin Shuang, I remember that you were quite thin in high school and didn’t like to move much. You actually have skills. I couldn’t tell! How did you train? You hid it too well.”

“That’s right, that’s right!” Fatty nodded in agreement. “Even I didn’t know that you were so good at fighting. I was so nervous today. If I had known that you were so powerful, I would have stood at the side and watched the show.”

Lin Shuang knew that Lu Wan was unwilling to talk about her family matters, so he smiled and said, “Actually, it’s nothing. I just learned it from the videos online when I had nothing to do. Besides, Fatty, weren’t you just watching the show from the side today?”

“I-” Fatty’s face instantly turned red as he said, “How am I standing by the side and watching the show? It’s because you attacked so quickly that I didn’t have time to exert my strength. Didn’t you see that I was holding a brick in my hand?”

“I saw it, haha. But to be honest, your moves look real. That bald man was kicked over by you! It’s just like in the movies.”

“Hahaha!”

The three of them played around and walked into a restaurant.

“What do you want to eat?” Lu Wan blinked and handed the menu to Lin Shuang, waiting for him to order.

Lin Shuang knew that Lu Wan was a strong-willed girl. He and Fatty had saved her today. If she did not treat them to a meal, she would not be able to sleep the entire night.

“Hmm… Anything is fine. I’m not very hungry. Fatty, what do you want to eat?”

“Me? I… I’m not that hungry. Lin Shuang, just order whatever you want.”

Lin Shuang casually ordered a few dishes, and the three of them chatted as they ate.

“Lu Wan, what do you do now?” Fatty asked.

“I graduated and entered a company. At the moment, I’m just a small company employee.”

“How much is it a month? Is it enough? And your mother’s medical fees…”

“4,000 yuan a month. It’s enough to use it sparingly.”

“4,000 yuan a month, so low…” Fatty mumbled.

Lu Wan was immediately displeased. She placed her hands on her hips, her face full of dissatisfaction. “If you say my salary is low, what about you two? What are you two doing now?”

Lin Shuang said, “Lu Wan, do you know Glory? It’s the latest game.”

Lu Wan said, “Of course I know. Who doesn’t know this game? It is so popular now. It was jointly developed by more than 100 countries. I heard that the scenes inside are real!” At the mention of Glory, Lu Wan’s eyes immediately lit up. It was obvious that she had been paying attention to this game for a long time.

“Fatty and I are playing this game now. We just established a studio and are preparing to earn money in the game.”

“Really? That’s good. I heard that this game is very profitable!”

Lu Wan said enviously, “I want to play it too, but a gaming helmet is shockingly expensive on the market. It costs 15,000 yuan each… Sigh.”
