95: I want to change cells

Seeing this, the clerk immediately put on white gloves, carefully took out the item, and began the introduction.

"Miss, you truly have excellent taste. This pair of earrings is named 'star river dreamscape.' The main stones are two rare Type IIa diamonds, each weighing 8 carats, internally pure and flawless, boasting a top-tier D color and Flawless clarity."

"Their uniqueness lies in the use of nano-level micro-engraving technology to etch the pattern of a vast star river inside the diamonds, which reflects a dazzling, dreamlike radiance under specific lighting."

"The platinum setting is also paved with over two hundred gradient-sized sapphires, symbolizing the boundless universe. This is a unique piece that took the master three years to complete, priced at 50.1 million dragon country currency."

Lei Jun looked very satisfied.

Without much hesitation, she signaled directly: "I'll take them. Wrap them up."

She immediately swiped her card, paying fifty million, and casually put the 'star river dreamscape' earrings on her earlobes.

The people in the store instantly fell silent, followed by various sounds of astonishment.

"Fifty million... bought without even blinking?"

"Mommy, that older sister's earrings are so beautiful, like stars dropped onto her ears!"

"This is what true jewelry owners should look like..."

"If only I had a tenth, no, one percent of her wealth!"

Lei Jun felt much better after putting on the earrings.

Hmm, spending money really does cure everything.

Walking out of the jewelry store satisfied, she noticed a small crowd had gathered outside, holding pens and paper, excitedly surrounding the entrance.

Lei Jun frowned slightly. What a bother.

She subconsciously thought they were coming for her again, and was about to tell Lei Ying to block them and refuse autographs.

However, those people walked right past her and enthusiastically surrounded Attorney Lei Yue, who was beside her.

"Attorney Lei Yue, please sign an autograph for me!"

"Attorney Lei Yue, I watched the live broadcast this morning, you were amazing!"

"You are my idol, may I take a photo with you?"

"Attorney Lei Yue, the way you refuted Yao Ze in court this morning was so cool! I recorded it and watched it several times!"

"The legal profession needs lawyers like you!"

"Attorney Lei Yue, those cat abusers deserve a heavy sentence. Thank goodness for you, otherwise Yao Yuan would have gotten away with it!"

"Attorney Lei Yue, I'm from a pet rescue station. Could I ask you to write a message for us, encouraging everyone to protect animals?"

Lei Jun stood nearby, finding it somewhat amusing.

So they were here for Lei Yue all along.

Was the morning's court hearing live stream that popular?

It had spread all the way to Shanghai, and even ordinary passersby recognized Lei Yue.

After Lei Yue finally finished signing autographs for everyone, they quickly left.

Upon returning home and pushing open the door, Pet Name "meowed" and darted out from under the sofa, rubbing against her feet, its tail standing up like a small flag.

Lei Jun bent down and picked it up. The little creature immediately licked the back of her hand with its barbed tongue.

After playing with Pet Name for a while, she opened the system interface.

[Congratulations, host, system level has increased to Level 12!]

[Source of Funds: As a Godly Tycoon, you receive a cash reward of 2 yuan for every second you live on Earth.]

[Upgrade Experience: 0/60000000]

[godly tycoon coins: 6000]

[Detected that the host completed a large consumption, triggering a critical reward. Congratulations, host, you have gained one lottery opportunity!]

It upgraded.

Two yuan per second—that's over sixty-two million a year.

This feeling of wealth automatically growing at a visible rate gave her a strong sense of security.

Lei Jun rubbed her hands together and started the lottery draw.

Fifty million in exchange for one draw. She hoped it would be worth the money.

With a hint of anticipation, her thoughts moved slightly, and she activated the draw.

A flash of light passed, and the prompt sounded:

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the skill: Luck Control]

[Skill Description: Can be used once daily. You can choose to increase or decrease the designated target's luck. The strength of the effect is positively correlated with the amount of funds invested by the host, up to a maximum investment of 5 billion.]

Luck Control?

Lei Jun's eyes gradually lit up.

This skill... it's a bit heaven-defying!

She immediately realized the infinite possibilities contained within it.

Increasing luck.

If Lei Yue had an important case in the future, she could boost Lei Yue's luck to make the case proceed more smoothly.

Decreasing luck was also excellent.

If she saw someone unpleasant, like that disgusting Yao Ze, she could secretly reduce his luck... making him trip while walking, and ensuring everything went wrong for him.

Excellent. This was an invisible weapon of mass destruction, much more civilized and effective than resorting to direct violence.

What a great skill!

She just didn't know the specific effect. The difference between investing ten thousand and ten million would surely be vast.

Looks like she needed to find an opportunity to test it out.

Lei Jun's eyes brightened, and she suddenly thought of a very suitable test subject.

Yao Yuan!

He's the one!

She would use him to test the skill's limits.

Selecting Yao Yuan as the target, she immediately used the "Luck Control" skill and set it to decay luck.

She directly invested 5 billion in funds, maxing out the amount.

Hmm, luck is an intangible thing; she would only know the result after some time.

She'd check the results tomorrow... Meanwhile, at Dragon City Prison.

Yao Yuan lay on the hard bunk, pounding the wall with malice.

That bitch Lei Jun!

That dirty whore!

If it weren't for her, how would he have ended up in this situation!

Relying on her stinking money to ruin him like this!

Just you wait!

He needed to endure first.

He planned to behave well, strive for a reduced sentence, and get out early.

Once he was out... he would capture Lei Jun, torture her using every means possible, and keep her alive, making her wish she could die but unable to.

Yes, he couldn't let her die too quickly. He would make her suffer for the rest of her life and regret ever messing with him!

Just then, Lei Jun's skill began to take effect.

Yao Yuan went to the toilet.

He finished a number two, and as he was about to pull up his pants, his foot somehow slipped in a daze, and he fell headfirst into the toilet bowl, choking on a mouthful of "good stuff."

Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!

Damn it!

What the hell happened?

He climbed out, utterly miserable, gagging from the nausea.

He tried to spit out the "good stuff," but somehow swallowed it instead.

Halfway through swallowing the "good stuff," the "good stuff" got stuck in his throat, nearly choking him to death.

Fuck!

Seriously, fuck!

After finally cleaning up, he was parched and wanted to pour a cup of water, but the thermos cap seemed welded shut. When he twisted too hard, the stopper popped out with a "bang," splashing hot water onto his hand, scalding him and making him grimace in pain.

Shit!

Was he cursed today?

He started to feel uneasy. These consecutive unlucky events were too bizarre.

He fearfully scrambled back onto his bunk and huddled under the quilt, but he kept feeling chills.

In a trance, he seemed to see countless pairs of green glowing cat eyes lighting up in the darkness. The cats he had tortured to death had all transformed into ferocious ghosts, baring their teeth and lunging at him with endless resentment!

Ah!

Terrified out of his wits, he trembled like a sieve.

Ghost!

There's a ghost!

So many cats!

They've come to take my life!

Help!

He stumbled and crawled off the bed, frantically pounding on the cell door, crying out hysterically.

"Guard, guard!"

"Change cells! I want to change cells!"

"There are ghosts in this room, cat ghosts!!!"
