A Batkid, Just Living an Ordinary Life

My name is Kaluo. My surname is Ka.

The orphanage director named me Kaluo after seeing me crawl over to a flowerpot and nibble on its pothos when I was three.

I was an orphan for fourteen years. On the first day after the college entrance exam, I suddenly got a call from overseas, from Gotham City, America.

Scammers these days are so stupid. They actually use an address that screams "pouring their heart out" to make scam calls.

After I picked up, a man introduced himself in very fluent Chinese. He said he was Bruce Wayne.

Me: "Oh, what a coincidence! I'm Tony Stark, the Stark who's the richest man in New York. We went to the same kindergarten and got into a fight when we were little, remember, Wayne?" (seductive voice)

There was a long silence on the other end before he finally spoke.

He said he was my dad.

My real dad.

I was astonished. I never knew scammers these days were so into pretending to be people's dads.

"You've got pretty up-to-date information. Actually, I've been looking for a dad, and you're the 101st person to send in a resume. How about this: if you want to be my dad, send me 50 yuan on WeChat first to prove you're the real deal. After all, as the old Chinese saying goes, any dad who won't let his kid enjoy Crazy Thursday is a fake dad."

There was an even longer silence on the other end, but a few moments later, five million appeared in my bank account.

In US dollars, too.

This wasn't a scammer. This was a bodhisattva.

"Daddy~ I didn't know you had this kind of money~~ Everything your good girl just said was a lie, actually. Your good girl is just a little silly~~~"

"Your good girl isn't a Stark at all~ The person your good girl likes most is a Wayne~~~"

"Daddy, to make it up to you, your good girl has a surprise for you too~~~" (cutesy voice)

After saying that, I hung up with a snap and blocked him immediately.

Bruce: ...

Ten minutes later, newly rich me was escorted to the police station.

My bank account had suddenly received a large overseas transfer, so they suspected me of money laundering.

Me: ?

I've learned my lesson.

The next day, my hapless dad, who had just transferred money to me before I blocked him, came to bail me out.

So he really was my dad.

So I really was the daughter of the richest man.

Does that mean I can quit school from now on, play video games at home every day, and live off my dad until I die?

"Daddy~ Your good girl loves you most~"

"...First, take me off your block list."
