In the future chat group, I'll become the richest man by just eating gossip.

Chapter 1 Leisurely Town
【Ding dong! 】

【Ding dong...】

In early June, as summer arrived in northern China, the heat was like an oven. Feng Nan, holding half an ice-cold watermelon, sat on the sofa watching a popular TV series.

Suddenly, a message notification popped up on her phone screen, interrupting her enjoyment of watching the revenge-themed historical drama.

Feng Nan's face fell. She took a wet wipe, cleaned her hands, and then picked up her phone from the stand.

"This phone is terrible. You get what you pay for..."

Actually, this phone isn't broken at all; on the contrary, it's quite valuable. It was the grand prize she won in a shopping mall raffle last month when she and her best friend were shopping together.

The latest domestically produced models this year are far ahead.

Feng Nan was very happy at the time. Her phone had been used for several years and often lagged, so she used the new phone right away.

But when she got home, she regretted it.

This one is far ahead; it looks like a knock-off.

She felt this way because...

There's a built-in app on the phone that other leading apps don't have.

And it cannot be uninstalled, not even by flashing the ROM.

This app is called: Leisure Town.

Feng Nan originally thought it was just an ordinary casual game.

Out of curiosity, I clicked on it, wanting to try it out.

But the result was...

This is actually a dating app!

No way, what dating app is called Leisure Town? It has absolutely nothing to do with the content!

What made Feng Nan even more amused and exasperated was that this app had only one group chat function.

The comments shared by the viewers were mostly irrelevant gossip videos and fake news!
Why is Feng Nan so certain that it's all fake news?

Because the news they're talking about will happen five years from now!
How could anyone possibly know what will happen five years in advance? That's outrageous.

Are these people just making things up to pass the time because they have nothing better to do?

Feng Nan wasn't interested in the news they were talking about. She glanced at it, treated it as a bit of fun, and then turned it off.

I would come home from get off work in the evening, wash up, and then take out my phone to relax.

The "Leisure Town" APP automatically popped up a notification.

The real culprit in the June 628 murder case has been found!

Feng Nan's favorite short videos are those about murder cases, so she immediately clicked on one.

There were hundreds of messages in the group, and the viewers were chatting enthusiastically.

[Check the trending topics! Check the trending topics now!]

[Oh my god, my baby has finally gotten his revenge!]

Is this the same person who killed the online novelist five years ago, the one who ate peanuts?

It's her, it's her, it's definitely her! She's finally paid for my baby's life; my baby can rest in peace now.

This person deserved to die. He killed my precious child, and yet he stubbornly resisted, appealing for so many years, always trying to overturn his confession.

[What news? What writer's murder case? I don't recall it. Do you have a link?]

Yes, yes, yes, I'll share it...

Looking at the constantly scrolling chat history, Feng Nan blinked, her eyes filled with curiosity (and a desire to gossip).

"A murder case from five years ago?"

"Isn't that today?"

Feng Nan became even more curious and couldn't wait to hear about this gossip.

[The murder of novelist Wo Bao on June 628th!]

A news link appears in the chat interface.

"Pfft~"

Upon seeing the news headline, Feng Nan immediately spat out the soda she had just drunk.

While frantically wiping up the spilled cola, Feng Nan complained, "Goodness, I thought all those guys in the group were readers of this author, and 'Bao' was his nickname. Turns out, this guy's pen name is 'Bao'?"

After wiping the cola off the floor, Feng Nan sat back down on the soft, large bed.

Feng Nan picked up her phone, but instead of immediately clicking the link to read the gossip, she first opened Baidu and searched for the novelist named "Wo Bao" to see if such a person actually existed.

[My darling, a struggling author on a certain website, has written...]

"Oh~"

"There really is such a person!"

"These guys in the group are getting more and more outrageous. If this gets out, aren't they afraid of being sued?"

Feng Nan muttered to herself as she clicked on the link.

On June 28, 2034, a heinous murder and dismemberment case occurred in Room 201, Unit 1, Building 5, Tianfu Residential Area, Lubei District, Tang City…

Upon seeing this address, Feng Nan was stunned.

"no……"

"Downstairs from my apartment?"

Watching for laughs, and now you're seeing your own doorstep?

Feng Nan looked completely bewildered.

She lives in this community, in this building, in apartment 302.

Feng Nan blinked, then continued reading...

On the morning of the 28th, unable to contact his tenant, the landlord went to room 201 to collect the month's rent. After knocking on the door for half an hour, the impatient landlord opened the door with his key and found blood all over the floor. He then called the police. When the police arrived, they searched room 201 and confirmed that a novelist named Wo Bao had been brutally murdered, and his body had been dismembered...

The news article even included several photos of the scene: a blood-soaked living room, a blood-soaked bed…

The images and news content, strung together, sent a chill down Feng Nan's spine. She felt a chill run down her spine, and a scene automatically appeared in her mind.

"Ugh~"

Feng Nan couldn't help but gag.

"This……"

"This is fucking insane..."

Feng Nan took a sip of cola to calm her nerves.

Despite the psychological and physical discomfort, Feng Nan continued scrolling down her phone.

[Forensic examination indicates the deceased was murdered in the early hours of the 27th...]

"Tsk tsk..."

"What a pervert..."

Seeing this, Feng Nan shook his head and muttered to himself.

Although she knew that the news in the group chat was mostly fabricated, Feng Nan still found herself unconsciously drawn in by the combination of pictures and evidence.

Especially that deathly pale human head.

His eyes, bulging out of their sockets, were filled with despair and resentment, and Feng Nan felt a chill run down her spine.

Feng Nan took a deep breath and continued watching.

After tireless investigation, the police finally identified the perpetrator as Feng Nan, a female college student living alone in apartment 302 of the same building. Furthermore, they found the victim's missing body parts in her refrigerator…

"Wang Defa?"

Upon seeing this, Feng Nan exclaimed in surprise.

I almost smashed my phone.

Who is that murderer who deserves to be punished long ago, the one that people in the group were discussing so fiercely just now?
Isn't that the unlucky girl?
"I have no grudge against this author, so why should I kill him?"

"This is absolutely outrageous! It's outrageous to the extreme!"

Feng Nan cursed and closed the app, threw her phone on the bed, and went to sleep.

She's not a rich woman; her family is in debt. She should go to bed early and get some work tomorrow.

Time passes minute by minute.

Feng Nan quickly put the outrageous news out of her mind and fell asleep.

In the stillness of the night, the ticking of a clock suddenly broke the silence.
