The salesperson had almost used up all of her self-control and professionalism in order to barely maintain her smile.
âThe license plate number that has been drawn can not be changed. Mr. Lin, if you really donât like it and want to draw another one, Iâm afraid you can only do so by buying another car.â
âHowever, I still have to remind you that according to the current regulations, the license plate number that you have already drawn will be revoked by the system if it is not used within half a year.?Moreover, you will not be able to participate in the license plate lottery for the next two years.â
The salespersonâs words completely shattered the last glimmer of hope in Lin Baiâs heart.
He sighed gloomily and said, âIt seems that I have to use this then.?I wanted to keep a low profile. If I had known that I would get such a flamboyant license plate number, I would have bought a more expensive car.â
His last sentence was not loud, but the salesperson heard it clearly.
The salesperson looked at Lin Bai with mixed feelings. No matter how she looked at him, she felt that he was just an ordinary person who was full of books.
He probably did not have much work experience. How could he have the money to buy a luxury car?
However, although she was full of doubts, she still did not let go of any opportunity that might improve her sales quota out of her professional habit. She tried her best to sell another car to Lin Bai.
âMr. Lin, we also have a lot of mid-to-high-end cars here. If you want to buy another one, you might as well test drive it first.?There has been a rumor that in recent years, S City might adopt an odd-and-even-number license plate restriction system in the future.â
âIf you buy another one, you donât have to worry about the inconvenience brought about by the restriction in the future.â
Lin Bai thought about it and decided to forget about it.
He bought a car just so he could have a transportation tool. Luxury cars were really not practical.
Moreover, he was a novice driver. It was inevitable that there would be scratches and scrapes. It was not worth it.
Moreover, with his current extremely high luck value, he was really afraid that the next one would draw a license plate number like â666666â.
âForget it. Weâll talk about it later.â
Lin Bai rejected the sales proposal.
The sales person smiled and did not say anything else. She just thought that what Lin Bai said earlier was just to show off.
It was normal for young people to like to show off.
She thought so.
If she knew that Lin Bai had more than 20 billion yuan in his bank card, she did not know how shocked he would be.
After completing all the procedures and paying the full amount, Lin Bai drove his new car to the Department of Motor Vehicles?to get his license plate.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
When he submitted the information, the staff in charge of the audit was shocked.
âOh my God! Young man, you are so lucky! You actually got such a good license plate number!â
The staff in charge of the verification could not help but exclaim in surprise.
A few people nearby heard it and immediately came over curiously.
âWhat number is it?â
âOh my God! Six â8âs! Young man, your luck is really not ordinary!â
âYoung man, your hands are really god-like! Thatâs amazing! I think you should go buy a lottery ticket or something later!â
âRight, right, right. You canât waste such good luck. You really should buy some lottery tickets. Who knows, you might win a big prize!â
A few staff members gathered together and complimented each other.
They had all worked at the DMV for many years, and they had seen people with connections buying special license plates at high prices.
However, it was their first time meeting someone who could get such a nice license plate by pure luck.
In the face of their amazement and envy, Lin Bai only smiled wryly.
He even asked the staff members present, in a bid to try his luck.
âActually, I really want to ask if I can change it to another number? Anything is fine.â
When he said this, all the staff members present were stunned. The expressions on their faces were as if they had seen a ghost.
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
After a long while, someone finally snapped back to reality and asked with a complicated tone,?âArenât you satisfied with such a good license plate number? Why do you want to change it?â
Lin Bai explained, âIâm not dissatisfied. I just feel that it was too ostentatious and I donât want to attract so much attention.â
A car with less than 200,000 yuan wouldnât attract much attention on the road.
But if it had a license plate like â888888â, the effect would be different.
Lin Bai did not want to become the center of attention wherever he went.
After the staff member listened to Lin Baiâs explanation, he managed to understand his concerns a little, but he still could not quite believe it.
âThis is a top-quality number that others canât even buy with money. Are you sure you donât want it?â
Lin Bai nodded and his tone was very certain.
âIâm sure. If itâs possible, can you help me change it?â
The staff member was silent for a few seconds before he answered as if he had made up his mind:
âSure, but it can only be changed randomly. Thereâs no guarantee that youâll like the new number.â
Lin Bai smiled. âItâs fine. As long as it can be changed, Iâll like it.â
As long as it wasnât a number like â444444â, it was fine.
Although Lin Bai wasnât superstitious, if it was really a string of all 4âs, he would still find it a little inauspicious. (4 sounds like âdieâ in Chinese)
But on second thought, with his current luck, it would be even more difficult to draw such an unlucky license plate number.
With that thought, Lin Bai had nothing to worry about.
After the staff member confirmed it again and again, he retrieved the license plate number â888888â from the system and randomly drew another one.
âHere, this is the new number that was drawn.â
The staff member printed out the license plate number and handed it to Lin Bai to read.
Lin Bai glanced at it and was very satisfied.
This new number could not be more ordinary. There was no 4, no 6, No 8, and no special combination of numbers.
It could be said that it was the kind that had no memory points and could be forgotten at a glance.
âGreat, this is the license plate that I want! Thank you so much!â
Lin Bai thanked him happily.
The corner of the staff memberâs mouth twitched as he said, âYouâre welcome.âIn his heart, he still felt that all of this was extremely ridiculous.
He even thought to himself that if he had drawn such an excellent license plate number, even if he had to borrow money to buy another car at the last minute, he would still have to preserve this excellent license plate number.
Lin Bai, on the other hand, actually took the initiative to give up. It was really infuriating to compare people.
The staff did not even know what kind of mood he was in when he helped Lin Bai complete all the subsequent procedures.
Everything went very smoothly after that. After getting the license plate, Lin Bai finally got rid of a worry in his heart.
Perhaps it was because he finally had his first car, or perhaps it was the joy brought by successfully changing the license plate, but in short, Lin Baiâs mood was much better than before.
He even felt that with his current good luck, it shouldnât be too difficult for him to get rid of Wang Chenyu.
Of course, the prerequisite was that his luck wasnât affected by his superpowers.
Otherwise, he would only have the luck of an ordinary person.
As for whether or not he would be affected by his superpowers, he would have to see the results of the lottery draw tomorrow.
