As evening settled in, the Jiangnan night market gradually grew lively. Lights flickered on one after another, and the once-quiet street slowly filled with people wandering between food stalls and small vendors.

  Lucas stood behind his roadside stall, shouting with exaggerated enthusiasm. Surprisingly, his performance actually worked. A small crowd began gathering around him, curious about what he was selling.

  Two girls passing by slowed down and whispered to each other.

  “Hey… isn’t that the bald guy from yesterday?”

  “Wait, it really is him. Honestly… he’s kinda cute.”

  “What, you into him?”

  “Please. Bald guys aren’t my type. But if he had hair, I’d definitely ask for his WeChat.”

  Lucas heard every word and silently suffered.

  Behind the girls stood a tall, handsome guy who rolled his eyes impatiently.

  “Stop messing around. Enjoy tonight while you can. Tomorrow our team enters the Spirit Ruins.”

  One of the girls pouted.

  “Way to ruin the mood. Come on, let’s go see what that stall is selling.”

  The three of them walked over to Lucas’s stand. Some of the items on the table instantly made the girls blush slightly.

  Lucas glanced up casually—and immediately noticed something interesting.

  When the tall guy bent down to examine the goods, a bright red waistband peeked out from the back of his pants.

  Lucas’s eyes lit up.

  “Yo, brother… zodiac year or something? Wearing red underwear for luck?”

  The man’s face darkened instantly.

  “I sell premium red underwear!” Lucas continued enthusiastically. “Guaranteed no color fade! Ten yuan for two!”

  The tall guy, Zheng Wei, nearly exploded.

  The girls followed Lucas’s gaze and immediately saw the red waistband as well.

  They burst out laughing.

  “Hahaha! Zheng Wei, it really is your zodiac year!”

  “That red is intense…”

  Zheng Wei’s face turned green with embarrassment.

  Lucas smiled brightly.

  “Listen to the boss—buy two pairs. Red underwear brings good luck during your zodiac year!”

  Grinding his teeth, Zheng Wei scanned the QR code and paid.

  Ten yuan transferred instantly.

  Still fuming, Zheng Wei grabbed a bottle from the stall and frowned.

  “‘Farmer Three Punches’? What kind of drink is this?”

  Lucas suddenly looked very excited.

  “Brother, clearly you don’t understand quality products.”

  “This is ancestral Farmer Three Punches mineral water.”

  “Drink one bottle and your strength increases tenfold!”

  “Defeat any enemy with just three punches!”

  Zheng Wei stared at the bottle suspiciously.

  “This bottle’s already opened.”

  “And what do you mean ancestral mineral water?”

  Lucas ignored the doubt and continued with absolute confidence.

  “Before drinking this stuff, I couldn’t even walk upstairs without getting tired.”

  “But after drinking it?”

  “I smash bricks with my head and tear bottle caps with my hands!”

  “Don’t believe me?”

  Lucas casually picked up a red brick from the ground and slammed it straight against his forehead.

  CRACK.

  The brick shattered instantly.

  The two girls screamed in shock.

  “Ahhh!!!”

  Lucas calmly brushed the dust off his forehead as if nothing had happened.

  “So? Believe me now?”

  Zheng Wei swallowed nervously.

  “How much?”

  Lucas wiped the brick powder from his forehead and smiled.

  “Not expensive.”

  “Ten thousand yuan per bottle.”

  Zheng Wei nearly spit blood.

  “Ten thousand?! For mineral water?!”

  Lucas shrugged.

  “But it works.”

  The two girls suddenly looked excited.

  “Zheng Wei, just try it!”

  “Yeah! The guy literally smashed a brick with his head!”

  Under their expectant gazes, Zheng Wei finally gave in.

  WeChat Transfer: 10,000 yuan.

  Lucas quickly added,

  “Hold on, brother. You still owe me one more.”

  Zheng Wei blinked.

  “What do you mean?”

  Lucas pointed at the broken brick.

  “The brick costs money too.”

  “One yuan fifty.”

  [Rage Points from Zheng Wei +666]

  Zheng Wei nearly lost control.

  “You smashed the brick and I have to pay for it?!”

  But under the girls’ watchful eyes, he could only grit his teeth and open the bottle.

  He gulped it down in one breath.

  The effect came instantly.

  A violent surge of energy exploded through his body. Zheng Wei’s muscles tightened, his veins bulging as his face turned bright red.

  “Holy shit… it’s real!”

  Ten times strength.

  Zheng Wei clenched his fist.

  The air exploded with a loud pop.

  “Boss! This stuff actually works!”

  “Your ancestral mineral water is insane!”

  Lucas smiled calmly.

  “See? Would I lie to you?”

  But suddenly the girls stared at Zheng Wei in shock.

  “Zheng Wei…”

  “You’re bald.”

  “Completely bald!”

  Zheng Wei slowly reached up and touched his head.

  A cold night breeze swept across his scalp.

  He froze.

  Zheng Wei exploded with rage.

  “YOU SCAMMED ME!”

  “WHERE DID MY HAIR GO?!”

  Lucas casually patted his shoulder.

  “Relax, brother.”

  “Don’t worry about minor details.”
