I am the one running the game

Chapter 746 This place is really a small temple with a lot of evil spirits
"Xiao Cao, take this thousand federal coins first." The village chief said, stuffing the money into Lu Xingshi's arms: "I have something I want to discuss with you."

Lu Xingshi was a little confused, but he did not take the money.

He was not very familiar with the village chief, after all, he was just a replacement.

As for his predecessor Cao Wan, he had starved to death long ago, and it was not Lu Xingshi who did it.

"Village chief, please tell me. I will try my best to help you." Lu Xingshi asked cautiously. Before, one thousand federal coins were not even a fraction of what Lu Xingshi needed. However, in this deep mountain, it was already a huge sum of money.

Anyway, Cao Wan, whom Lu Xingshi replaced, had never seen a full thousand federal coins even at his age.

"Then I'll tell you." The village chief put the money on the table: "I know you have good grades, Xiao Cao. Without saying too much, it won't be a problem for you to get into a college."

"But given your family's situation, even if you pass the exam, is it possible that you can still study?"

"In this way, you take the exam, and then let my grandson go to the academy. This thousand federal coins will be regarded as compensation."

Hearing this, Lu Xingshi’s first reaction was: Are you kidding me?
Cao Wan's academic performance is indeed as the other party said, but the problem is that it is useless even if you buy it. This thing is not an object and you can't buy it just by saying so.

"Village chief, this is not a good idea. They will check my ID. If I take the test on behalf of your grandson, I will be exposed." Lu Xingshi said tactfully.

He knew the village chief's grandson. The two were completely different. Cao Wan was tall and thin, with a face that looked like a horse. In addition, due to his life as an orphan, his skin was also very bad.

But the village chief’s grandson is different. He is a short, fat and white boy, and the invigilator is not blind.

So it is definitely not okay to take the exam for someone else.

As for changing the ID? Do you really think they are fools?

"Take the exam for someone else? Is there a way to take the exam for someone else?" The village chief was stunned. Why didn't he think of this good idea? He just looked at Lu Xingshi's Cao Wan's appearance again and shook his head: "That's too troublesome. You are right. It will be easy to be exposed."

"Just take the exam normally, and when the admission letter comes, give it to my grandson and let him report."

"Anyway, the school doesn't know what you look like." The village chief's thoughts shocked Lu Xingshi even more.

If it was the original Cao Wan, there would still be a chance to implement it, but after Lu Xingshi changed into the other party's identity, he planned to take the entrance exam for Jingzhou Federal College, and he planned to get in in a high-profile manner with full marks.

Even if Lu Xingshi is willing to give it, there will be two situations when the village chief's grandson reports it. One is that he will be discovered and dealt with severely, and the other is that he will be directly and vigorously rectified.

After all, even the first place could be replaced. The federal top brass would definitely not think that this was just the work of a small village chief, but rather that there was interference from family forces.

"It's not enough. You need more money. I want ten thousand." Lu Xingshi said without hesitation.

Since he has inherited Cao Wan's identity, in order to infiltrate the core of the federation, Lu Xingshi must clean up his traces.

"How much!" The village chief's voice immediately became sharp. These ten thousand federal coins were his annual income. Lu Xingshi opened his mouth and wanted to leave.

"Only 10,000, or I won't sell it."

"As long as the admission letter is in my hands, your grandson can't go." Lu Xingshi said in a cold voice, deliberately saying that the admission letter is very important.

Actually...it doesn't matter if it's lost. Just go there and the school will verify your identity.

"No, you are a good student, but it's just to get into a college. It's not worth ten thousand." The village chief shook his head. Since an admission letter is enough, why should he pay money.

I can completely stop it and give it to my grandson.

He didn't even give her a thousand federal coins and just pocketed it.

"I won't buy it. It's too expensive." The village chief got up and left.

Anyway, all the mail coming from outside the mountain will pass through the hands of him, the village chief. If he just says there is no mail, what can an orphan achieve?

In this village, he is the local tyrant and he can say whatever he wants.

Lu Xingshi was not worried at all that the other party might play any tricks. In his opinion, he had been out of touch with the outside world for too long, deep in the mountains.

In fact, Cao Wan's academic performance is good only relative to his peers. In fact, in the federation, his scores are not up to par at all and he cannot enter any good college.

However, this is also the only way for Cao Wan to turn things around. At least this small village has never produced a college student.

The village chief's idea was very simple, which was to arrange for his grandson to have the title of a college student so that he could take over his position when he returned to the village. With this identity, no one would dare to object to the passing of the position of village chief.

"The exam is in three days, so we need to prepare in advance."

The exam will not be held in the mountains, but in the nearest city. There will be someone to pick you up and send you back after the exam.

After all, he has a student record and it involves federal selection, so naturally he has to take it more seriously.

In fact, Lu Xingshi didn't need to prepare much, just a pen, which he could buy in the city.

As for the money, Lu Xingshi searched the small house with only four walls and quickly found forty-five and sixty federal coins, both in small and large amounts.

Cao Wan preserved them very carefully, so these federal coins were not damaged at all.

These federal coins were earned by Cao Wan from selling grain every year and constituted his entire fortune.

"Fuck, there's not enough money for the train ticket to Jingzhou."

According to his estimate, the ticket from Xizhou to Jingzhou would cost three thousand yuan, plus he would have to provide his own food and drink, so about three thousand three would be enough.

However, this was also a huge sum of money for Cao Wan, at least it could not be raised in the short term.

If he gets first place in the exam, there might be rewards from Xizhou, but they may not necessarily reach him.

He certainly would not wait until the results were announced before setting off. It would take more than a few days to get from Xizhou to Jingzhou. It would take at least three or two months.

"There is still a gap of 3,200. What a mess..." If Lu Xingshi wanted to earn this money through formal channels, it would be impossible within three days.

"It's not that there is no solution." Lu Xingshi quickly found a way to solve his money problem.

The federal welfare ticket, also known as the lottery, is an excellent means of making money passed down from the first generation of the federation.

If Lu Xingshi only wanted 3,300 federal coins, with his ability, it would not be a problem for him to win a vote.

If you want a grand prize of nearly one million or tens of millions, you will definitely not be able to get it.

For a small amount like 3,300 yuan, it really depends on luck rather than internal selection.

This is his fastest and most formal way to make money. As for relying on hard work, Lu Xingshi is afraid that he will not be able to get it.

"Oh, yes, there is also the issue of tuition fees."

"But it shouldn't be much. I can win some federal welfare tickets when I get to Jingzhou."

As long as the amount he wants is not too large, he basically doesn't have to worry about any shady dealings.

People don't think highly of your little tricks.

"The next thing is..."

Lu Xingshi suddenly noticed the fluctuation of the timeline again. The other party did this once a day.

However, as Lu Xingshi continued to observe, he also discovered that this fluctuation did not seem to be the timeline of the entire world, but belonged to a certain person.

The reason why such a big fuss was caused is that this person can have an impact on the entire world.

Just like an ordinary person, even if he can change the future, it will not cause much change unless he takes action on some important nodes in the future.

But if the person who possesses this ability is a powerful person who holds a high position, then after he knows the future, the impact it will cause will be far from insignificant.

This has resulted in the future of the world being in constant uncertainty.

It may be one way today and another way tomorrow.

Therefore, the validity of the fortune-telling type will be very short, and it will not be effective for the general situation or even the top leaders.

No wonder these fortune tellers are like trash. It’s not their problem, but they have been messed up by someone.

As for who this person is, Lu Xingshi initially guessed that he was most likely a destiny master from the Federation or the Destiny Organization.

After all, if you want to cause such a big commotion, strong strength is the foundation. It’s not that Lu Xingshi looks down on the Great Fortune Master’s ability, but they don’t have that kind of strength.

Furthermore, a fortune teller does not have sufficient status to indirectly influence the entire world by changing his own future.

...

Zheng Zhu looked a little dazed. He thought he would do as Zeng Hu said and beg for food all the way to Jingzhou.

But the fact was quite the opposite. After he arrived in the big city, relying on his innocent eyes and outstanding appearance, he soon boarded a plane to Jingzhou.

That's right, he didn't take the train, but took a plane directly.

This made him even more uneasy.

It seemed that his luck had changed after meeting Zeng Hu, and his journey was extremely smooth, making him feel elated.

There was even a moment when he didn't plan to go to Jingzhou. After all, as long as he stayed, he would live a good life with his eyes and looks.

But when he thought of Zeng Hu breaking the skull with his bare hands and the power of the fortune teller and the chosen one described to him, he finally gave up wealth and honor.

'If my luck still exists, please bless me to become a fortune teller and the chosen one.'

He wants wealth and honor, but if he has power, he will not only have wealth and honor, but also authority, and more importantly, he can save his life.

After all, he was being targeted by his family and the Destiny Organization. Even if he fled to a remote location, there were still terrifying creatures like the Destiny Ghost that were omnipresent and could penetrate everywhere, watching him.

Looking at the white clouds outside the window, his ambition began to grow.

Before, he might have just wanted to send the skull back and stay in Jingzhou, but now, after experiencing the popularity of the big city, he wants more.

"My friend, your eyes are so pure. Let's take a photo together." A sudden voice came, bringing Zheng Zhu back to his senses.

He smiled shyly: "This...is not good."

Although it was not the first time that he was asked to take a photo, he should not be shy, but he knew how to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Innocence combined with shyness is a killer combination, and with a good appearance, one can plan enough benefits for oneself.
