Chapter 22 - Heavenly Rewards

"You little brat, stop spewing nonsense!"

"I, Liu Changhong, may not be a wealthy person, but I would never be someone who cheats and plays tricks!"

"I still have the most basic professional ethics!"

"Besides, am I an idiot? These reporters were all notified by me in advance!"

"If I dared to do something like this openly, wouldn't that be like walking into a trap?"

Boss Liu Changhong's face changed drastically.

These words could not be said carelessly; otherwise, the reporters present could ruin him in an instant!

Many reporters nodded in agreement.

Even if there was a shady deal, it was impossible to have them present.

There shouldn't be such a foolish person in the world!

"Who knows? You can know a person's face but not their heart; maybe you all enjoy this kind of thrilling feeling!"

"Anyway, just bring in a rich kid, and whatever you say goes; others wouldn't dare to say anything!"

Bai Zihao retorted with righteous indignation.

"This friend, you can take your medicine randomly, but you can't talk nonsense!"

"If you have evidence, then present it, instead of just spouting off here!"

"I have records of the lottery tickets my butler bought, and the lottery station also has surveillance video!"

"Spreading falsehoods and defaming others is a crime, and you could end up in jail!"

Mu An also spoke up.

Although he was smiling, there was a hidden threat.

Since the other party had come knocking so ungratefully, he naturally had to seize the opportunity to cut down the protagonist's luck!

"That's right, I have the purchase records here! You better not slander me!"

Boss Liu Changhong seemed to remember this and immediately became more assertive.

"I... I don't know if you just privately exchanged my ticket with his!"

"These are all your one-sided claims; who would believe that?"

Bai Zihao frowned, still debating.

Because he suddenly remembered that the lottery tickets purchased now wouldn't have records on the computer.

This meant that regardless of who bought the ticket, the lottery station only recognized the ticket stub!

So there was room for manipulation!

"This joke sounds really funny!"

"Since you say the winning ticket is yours, do you remember the numbers on the ticket you bought?"

Mu An said casually.

As soon as he said this, Bai Zihao was stunned for a moment, and then his expression turned ugly.

He only knew that he had intercepted the person in his memory who had won the lottery.

So this time, the winner would become himself.

Confident, he hadn't paid much attention to what the winning numbers on the ticket were!

So, how would he know the specific numbers on the ticket?

"I... I..."

Bai Zihao stammered, unable to spit out a single number after a long time.

Seeing his inner turmoil, Mu An couldn't help but smile.

"You don't even know the winning numbers of the ticket you bought, yet you dare to shout that the lottery is yours?"

"Do you know?"

Bai Zihao was still stubborn.

But under his desperate gaze, Mu An casually recited a set of numbers.

The boss also nodded, confidently saying,

"That's right, the numbers this gentleman mentioned are indeed the winning numbers!"

The reporters secretly checked the winning numbers.

They found that not a single digit was off!

"Unfortunately, I also have evidence to prove that this is my lottery ticket!"

"I originally wanted to commemorate my first lottery purchase, but unexpectedly, it became evidence of my innocence!"

As he spoke, Mu An shook his head and took out his phone.

On it was a photo of him with the lottery numbers!

It was proven that due to current technological limitations, photos couldn't be edited!

This meant that this was most likely real!

Now the facts were very clear!

It was evident that this sneaky person was trying to scam the lottery prize!

And he even dreamed of claiming it for himself!

A typical case of the thief shouting to catch the thief!

All the reporters looked at Bai Zihao with changed expressions.

In an instant, he became the target of public criticism, the kind that everyone pointed fingers at!

The boss didn't forget to deliver the final blow.

"The ticket you just gave me, I also checked; it only won a small two dollars!"

"How dare you try to scam someone out of a two hundred million prize!?"

- [Hahaha, I knew this guy was no good! What kind of normal person would dress like that on a hot day? Sneaky and shady, it's obvious he's up to no good!]

- [Yeah! I've had my sharp eyes for so many years, and I almost blamed the wrong person! It's not my fault for being incompetent; I can only blame the enemy for being too cunning!]

- [He's quite brave too! What normal person would dare to do this? If he successfully pulls off a scam, it would be the greatest injustice to the real winner!]

*Click! Click!*

Some reporters were already taking pictures of Bai Zihao with their cameras.

They had already thought of the headlines for the news in their minds, which would be titled:

"Masked Bystander Boldly Claims the Prize is His, Attempting to Distort the Truth—Is This Moral Decay or a Loss of Humanity?!"

"Shocking! A suspected mentally ill person openly slanders others and falsely claims to have won a hundred million, only to become furious when exposed!"

Bai Zihao was so angry he almost spat blood.

Two hundred million in prize money turned into two dollars—a gap as vast as heaven and earth.

How could he accept that?

How could he possibly accept it!

He instinctively took a step back, his finger trembling as he pointed at Mu An, who was surrounded by everyone like a star.

That spotlight should have been his!

But now Bai Zihao was so furious that he could barely speak, his teeth clenched tighter than ever.

"You... you all!!!"

——————

Mu An couldn't help but grin, feeling secretly pleased.

A gold mine explosion!

This was a complete gold mine explosion!

It can only be said that he truly deserves to be the protagonist!

The rewards that exploded out were indeed enticing!

Not only did he gain the first god-level skill that was incredibly powerful, but he also obtained a game library, a bug reward that could be considered a dimensional strike!

If he continued to lay out his plans, how could the protagonist possibly compete with him?

And on what basis could he compete?

"I wonder, sir, now that you have won a prize worth two hundred million, what do you plan to do with it?"

A reporter seized the opportunity and was the first to ask Mu An.

All the reporters' attention was successfully diverted.

Clearly, interviewing the winner of the largest lottery prize in history was the biggest headline for tomorrow's news!

Everyone was also curious about what this young man would do with the money!

Mu An's gaze gradually deepened as he began to speak eloquently.

"For me, two hundred million is not much; it can only be considered small change."

"But I have a dream. I hope..."
