"What the hell is going on?"
Lin Fan suddenly froze in place as he walked along the bustling street. He rubbed his eyes and shook his head in disbelief.
The people behind him hadn't expected him to stop so suddenly and bumped into him one after another.
"What's your problem? Why'd you just stop like that? There are so many people around—watch where you're going!"
Lin Fan ignored the complaints and continued to rub his eyes and shake his head, seemingly trying to wake himself up from a dream.
Passersby shot him strange looks.
"Did he go crazy after losing everything?"
"Probably. This is Vietnam's biggest raw stone gambling market—people go bankrupt here every day."
"You think that's surprising? The vendors here are all slick. Word of advice—if you're going to gamble on stones, focus on the stones themselves. Never trust the seller's sweet talk."
People walking by whispered among themselves.
Those familiar with the raw stone scene shook their heads with pity.
---
But at that moment, Lin Fan couldn't care less about the onlookers' gossip or their strange glances.
He was in a complete daze.
He had only just adapted to this new body, and as he walked, strange text and sounds suddenly appeared in his mind.
Even more bizarrely, lines of glowing text had started to appear above the things he looked at.
The flickering made his vision blur.
He thought he was hallucinating and tried to clear his mind by rubbing his eyes and shaking his head. But no matter what he did, the text remained—and began flashing faster.
Forcing himself to stay calm, Lin Fan walked over to a nearby bench and sat down.
Just as he prepared to examine what was happening, the floating text suddenly disappeared.
Stunned, Lin Fan sat on the bench, staring blankly into space.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind again.
At the same time, a transparent, rectangular screen popped up in front of him.
---
[Would you like to activate the system?]
[If no response within 10 seconds, the system will activate automatically.]
---
Before Lin Fan could react...
---
[Divine Value System activated automatically!]
[Current function: Allows the host to view the actual value of any object in this world.]
[As long as the host wishes to know, the system will provide the corresponding value.]
---
"I can see the true value of anything in the world? Like what I just saw earlier…?"
---
[Correct. For now, you can view the value of any object within the current day. Use this wisely.]
---
"If I can see the current value, can I also view future values—like a week or a year from now?"
---
[Not at the moment. The current system level only supports real-time value assessment for today.]
---
That's right—Lin Fan had just transmigrated.
From the merged memories, he learned he now inhabited the body of someone with the same name.
Thankfully, this world's basic rules were similar to his previous one.
The original Lin Fan was also an orphan, quiet and withdrawn from an early age—borderline autistic.
On every national holiday, he would travel alone, refusing to stay cooped up.
Because he traveled often, he regularly received ads related to tourism.
One day, while browsing attractions on his phone, a pop-up for a free seven-day Vietnam tour appeared.
Out of curiosity—since he'd never been to Vietnam—he clicked on it and surprisingly won.
Skeptical at first, he made a phone call just to check, only to confirm it was real.
Not being much of a talker, he accepted the prize and went alone to Vietnam.
The first few days of the trip were great.
But on the last day, things went south.
The tour guide led their group to Vietnam's largest raw stone gambling market, claiming it was a "must-see cultural experience."
They said it was just for fun, to broaden their horizons.
In reality, it was a trap set by the tour guide and local vendors.
They walked the group through the market, showing off people "winning big" by gambling on raw stones.
But it was all a setup.
The guide, the vendors, and the onlookers were all in on the con.
They lured Lin Fan's predecessor into buying a raw stone for 10,000 yuan, swearing up and down that it would yield jadeite worth at least 100,000 yuan.
They praised the stone to high heaven.
Of course, when it was cut open, it turned out to be worthless junk.
Heartbroken and humiliated, the original Lin Fan wandered the streets in despair.
And then—Lin Fan transmigrated.
---
"What an obvious scam. And the guy didn't even suspect anything? Didn't he have an anti-scam app or something?"
---
Lin Fan couldn't help criticizing his predecessor.
But even more than the victim, what he truly hated were the heartless scammers behind it all—the tour guides and vendors who profited through deception and manipulation.
He'd seen stories on TV of innocent people being scammed, left bankrupt, or even driven to suicide.
Those scammers had no conscience. They didn't care if their victims were old, sick, or poor—they only cared about money.
Lin Fan clenched his fists.
He decided—he'd make those people pay.
---
"System, you already stole my newbie gift pack. At least tell me what functions you have!"
Having read dozens of transmigration novels in his past life, Lin Fan was no stranger to this sort of setup.
Once the initial shock passed, he quickly accepted the situation.
---
[The core function of the system is to determine the true value of all things.]
[As long as the host looks at something, the system can analyze its value.]
---
"As long as I look at it, the system can analyze it?"
Lin Fan's eyes lit up.
"Then can it tell whether there's jadeite inside a raw stone?"
---
[This system currently cannot assess the internal composition. It can only analyze the stone's overall value.]
[However, additional functions may unlock through continued use and exploration.]
---
"Even if it can't tell me exactly what's inside, being able to see the stone's true value is enough."
A sharp gleam flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.
He looked toward the vendors and tour guides not far away—still smiling as they deceived other tourists.
A cold, ruthless determination appeared in his gaze.
