The warm, damp sensation on my chest spread rapidly; it was the feeling of tears soaking through my T-shirt.

Chen Zhi's hand froze in mid-air, his fingers opening and closing, and finally he sighed as if resigned to his fate, gently placing it on Lin Wanwan's trembling back.

This little girl is really strong.

"So you're already feeling wronged?"

Chen Zhi patted the thin back, the movement a little awkward, but unexpectedly gentle, "You're a human, it's a dog, what's the point of comparing them?"

Lin Wanwan didn't look up; her forehead remained pressed firmly against his sternum, as if she wanted to unleash all the grievances she had ever held in her life.

"The way you looked at it just now, you practically worshipped it... You've never even looked at me like that."

The sound was muffled inside the clothes, sounding muffled and with a hint of sobbing at the end.

Chen Zhi chuckled to himself.

"It's just a puppy. We celebrated its full moon together. Why are you so angry?"

Chen Zhi tried to reason with him.

"I won't listen!"

Lin Wanwan suddenly raised her head, her once bright eyes now red and swollen, like a bullied little rabbit, a red mark on the tip of her nose. "You're so fickle! I'm going to tell Aunt Zhang you bullied me!"

Chen Zhi felt a chill run down his spine.

If Zhang Guifang knew this, tonight's braised pork would probably turn into "bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork".

"No, no, no, my ancestors, I was wrong, okay?"

Chen Zhiju surrendered with both hands, his brain racing, and he unleashed his ultimate move: "Alright, to compensate for your wounded heart, I'll take care of all the homework this week."

Lin Wanwan sniffed and looked at him suspiciously: "Really? You even do math problems?"

"I'll not only write it, but I'll also provide the problem-solving strategies, ensuring the teacher won't be able to tell it's been ghostwritten."

Chen Zhi patted his chest and assured him.

Lin Wanwan's tears stopped instantly. She wiped her face and tried to suppress them, but the corners of her mouth still turned up uncontrollably.

"Also, I want to eat two little puddings."

"purchase!"

"I also want to drink Coke."

"Drink! The big bottle!"

Chen Zhi gritted his teeth and agreed, wondering how long his precarious little savings could last.

Just then, there was a rustling sound under the bed.

The little husky that had just caused trouble poked half its head out, its blue eyes darting around mischievously. Only after confirming that the emergency alarm was off did it waddle out on its short legs, wagging its tail and trying to rub against Lin Wanwan's legs.

"noob!"

Lin Wanwan burst into laughter through her tears, bent down and picked up the puppy, her previous bitter and resentful expression completely gone.

She rubbed the dog's head and made a face at Chen Zhi: "Xiaobai is innocent, it's all your fault."

Chen Zhi: ...

Is this what women are like?

Even in a child's body, the speed at which their expression changes is faster than turning the pages of a book.

"Dinner's ready! What are you two little rascals dawdling around in the house for?"

Zhang Guifang's loud voice once again pierced through the door, wafting in along with the aroma of food.

"They're here!"

Chen Zhi responded and pushed Lin Wanwan out, "Go wash your face quickly, wipe your tear-stained cat face, or my mom will interrogate me again."

Lin Wanwan, carrying the dog, walked ahead triumphantly, like a general who had won a battle.

Chen Zhi followed behind, looking at the back of the woman in the pink dress, and shook his head helplessly.

Having been given a second chance at life, I originally thought I could become a heartless money-making machine, but I never expected to fall into the hands of my childhood sweetheart.

but……

When she bumped into my arms just now, my heart seemed to skip a beat.

That feeling was even more unsettling than a drop in Bitcoin's price.

Chen Zhi shook his head, clearing those chaotic thoughts from his mind.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat strange.

Zhang Guifang, holding a plate of braised pork ribs, scanned Chen Zhi and Lin Wanwan's faces with sharp eyes.

Lin Wanwan's eyes were still a little red and swollen. Although she had washed her face, the traces of crying were still visible.

"Wanwan, why are your eyes red?"

Zhang Guifang placed the largest piece of pork rib into Lin Wanwan's bowl, her tone so gentle that it gave Chen Zhi goosebumps. "Did that brat Chen Zhi bully you? Tell Auntie, and Auntie will beat him up for you."

Chen Zhi buried his head in his rice, pretending not to hear, but secretly kicked Lin Wanwan under the table.

Lin Wanwan blinked her big eyes, glanced at Chen Zhi, then at the ribs in her bowl, and smiled sweetly: "No, Aunt Zhang, I got some sand in my eyes just now, and Chen Zhi blew it out for me."

"sand?"

Zhang Guifang glanced suspiciously at the tightly closed window. "Where did the sand come from?"

"I find that strange too."

Chen Zhi quickly chimed in, his face full of righteous indignation, "It's probably because the window cracks weren't closed properly. The sandstorms are getting worse and worse these days. Environmental protection is an urgent issue."

Chen Jun, who was taking a swig of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) at the time, nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the news broadcast today also mentioned strengthening greening efforts..."

The topic was successfully steered off course.

Chen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and, taking advantage of Zhang Guifang's inattention, quickly put the two pieces of lean meat from his bowl into Lin Wanwan's bowl.

Lin Wanwan accepted the offering with a clear conscience and even winked at him, the meaning of which was obvious: You did a good job, I am very pleased.

Chen Zhi smiled wryly. This wasn't raising a green plum; it was clearly worshipping an ancestor.

After finishing her meal, Lin Wanwan played with the dog for a while longer until Lin Shuxian called to urge her to leave. Only then did she reluctantly carry Xiaobai back to the next room.

After seeing the big Buddha off, Chen Zhi immediately went back to his room and locked the door.

The world is finally quiet.

He sat back down in front of the computer, the dim light from the screen illuminating his slightly youthful face.

In the blink of an eye, my savings were gone; I had to find a way to earn them back.

Chen Zhi opened his browser and skillfully entered a URL: 5173.

This was the largest online game trading platform at the time.

In this era, online games are the spiritual opium of young people, and also one of the most lucrative gray areas.

Countless people spend money like water there, while countless others work hard to make a fortune.

Chen Zhi's fingers tapped on the keyboard, logging into a long-dormant account.

Dungeon Fighter Online.

This is commonly known as DNF.

2008 was the golden age of this game, which had just been released for public testing and was a huge hit across the internet.

Countless people have devoted themselves to this game, even skipping breakfast to spend all night in internet cafes.

[Verifying account...]

Login successful.

The webpage redirected, displaying the character information under the account.

A level 60 max-level Ghost Knight with the ID "What Can I Do?"

Chen Zhi opened the warehouse.

【Meteor Shower Blade】.

A pink katana, with a long, slender blade, radiating an eerie glow.

In the early days of version 60, this was the ultimate dream for countless Ghost Knights: a cool appearance, an extremely long attack range, and that attribute that drove countless people crazy—a chance to summon a meteor when attacking.

He got this knife while farming because he'd been incredibly lucky lately.

Chen Zhi quickly searched for the price of the "Flowing Star Meteor Blade" on the trading platform.

Page refreshed.

A series of numbers popped up.

[Shandong Region 1, Meteor Shower Blade, +0, Fixed Price: 1800 RMB.]

[Beijing Zone 1, Meteor Shower Blade, +10, Fixed Price: 2500 RMB.]

Chen Zhi's breathing quickened instantly.

These aren't weapons, they're clearly gold bars!

Moreover, the current price is not the peak.

He remembered clearly that in another month, with the PK arena being revamped, the price of this knife would be driven up to an astronomical level.

Besides this knife, there were also several Brahma-style coats and bamboo bracelets in the warehouse...

Chen Zhi, like a miser counting his treasure, estimated the price of every piece of equipment in the warehouse.

Chen Zhi's gaze fell on the file titled "GSD's Ultimate Wave Blade".

That was the prototype of an automatic map-farming script that he wrote when he was bored in his previous life.

Although it's not technically sophisticated, in this era before scripts are so common, it's definitely considered cutting-edge technology.

With just a few minor improvements and the addition of an anti-ban mechanism...

A wicked smile curled at the corner of Chen Zhi's mouth.

Who says you have to rely on physical labor to make money?

Knowledge is money.

Technology is productivity.

He flexed his fingers, and his knuckles made a crisp popping sound.

"Pat-pat-pat..."

The sound of keyboard typing filled the room like a dense raindrop.

Lines of code flowed rapidly across the screen, constructing ingenious logical loops.

Time passed second by second.

Chen Zhicai stopped what he was doing late at night.

He looked at the small program that appeared on the screen, named "DNF Fully Automatic Gold Farming Assistant V1.0.exe", and nodded in satisfaction.

Next, it's time to find a sucker... oh no, I mean, a discerning buyer.

He opened a game forum called "Duowan Grass Flying", registered a new alias, and named his ID "Deep Blue Savior".

Then, he skillfully posted a message.

[Title: Exclusive Cutting-Edge Technology! Fully Automated Solo Zombie Farming at King Level, No Bans, Doubled Efficiency! Free Trial for the First Ten!]

Less than a minute after the post was published, the private message icon in the lower right corner started flashing wildly.

Players of this era have an almost fanatical pursuit of "cheats".

Chen Zhi opened the first private message.

[Bro, really? If it's true, I'll cover it!]

Chen Zhi smiled.

The fish has taken the bait.
