Chapter 1001: Chapter 1001
"Name: Resentment Relics of the Black Carp Dragon (Single-use)"
"Effect: After use, there is a 1% chance of instant death and a 99% chance of gaining the 'Hongyun Qitian' status, lasting one hour."
"Note: I am not reconciled! I am not reconciled! Hate, hate, hate!"
"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"
Looking at the item description, Liu Zheng thumped his thigh hard.
"Why are you thumping me for your thrill?"
"Haha. Anyway, your skin is tough and thick, a thump won't break it."
Panda rolled his eyes and chose not to argue with him.
"Should I use the Resentment Relics or the Golden Lotus Seed?"
After the excitement, Liu Zheng was lost in thought once again.
Quickly, he made a decision.
Use the Resentment Relics.
After all, both items could actually be used as trump cards, and the Golden Lotus Seed, which is almost guaranteed to max out the Luck Value, is more stable than the 99% max Luck Value Resentment Relics.
Without hesitation, Liu Zheng swallowed the Resentment Relics.
"Item effect activated, player has obtained 'Hongyun Qitian' status, lasting one hour."
The system prompt sounded.
Liu Zheng didn't want to waste a second, charging into the lottery store and grabbing the tablet.
On the green screen, there was only a single bright red word.
He tapped it, and the word "DRAW" suddenly transformed into a large hand that reached out from the screen, slapped him on the face, and then reverted back to normal.
Three large question marks popped above Liu Zheng's head.
"Boss, are you messing with me?"
He prepared to go all out, activating the "Angry Fire Burning Body" state.
"Who's messing with you? Words shouldn't be spoken carelessly."
The store manager reached under the counter again.
"If that's not messing with me, then where's my scratch-off?"
"Isn't the scratch-off right on your face?"
The store manager pointed to the side of his face that had been slapped.
Liu Zheng touched it and indeed peeled off a scratch-off ticket.
"...Didn't you say electronic scratch-offs are randomly generated?" Fresh chapters posted on novel•fire.net
"Exactly. Each time you press the 'DRAW' word, an electronic demon is generated in the server. The electronic demon turns into a scratch-off ticket based on electronic noise, radioactive decay, quantum effects, etc. Isn't that electronic enough, random enough?"
The store manager retorted.
As expected, nothing in the Metropolis is normal.
Liu Zheng didn't waste any more time and began scratching with a coin.
The scratch-off looked similar to those in real life, mostly red in color, with "Metropolis Lottery" in gold letters in the upper left corner, and "Value 50 Yuan" written in the upper right corner.
The upper part features a gold depiction of the City Hall building, with the winning numbers area and my numbers area below it.
He scratched off the winning numbers area first, which were 88 and 66.
"These winning numbers are so auspicious, no wonder the Luck Value is MAX."
Liu Zheng sped up, using four coins at once to clean off the my numbers area.
A total of fifty numbers across ten rows were revealed.
He looked down the rows starting from the first number.
The second number was 88.
Below the "88" was a bracket containing the number 1000, which represented a reward of 1000 points.
Liu Zheng continued down and found six more winning numbers, scoring another 4000 points.
"You've got quite some luck there, kid."
The store owner frowned and said.
Winning 5000 points from one scratch-off is luck that customers might not see even in a week.
"There's even more luck to come."
With this initial victory, Liu Zheng felt a surge of pride and pressed the "DRAW" word once again.
To speed things up, he used all four hands: one for drawing, three for scratching.
He didn't look at the scratches, leaving them for Panda to hold, planning to check later.
The store owner didn't mind; every scratch-off has anti-counterfeiting and tamper-proof features, even a Legendary Mage couldn't use a Prayer Technique to duplicate one.
"Boss, give me another 5000 sheets."
Feeling the high, Liu Zheng placed stacks of cash on the counter.
"You have enough there for 10,000 sheets."
The store owner counted and said.
"Then 10,000 sheets it is, I'll stop when I'm done."
It took about half a second for him to handle a scratch-off, 7200 sheets in an hour, so over 2000 sheets wouldn't benefit from the 'Hongyun Qitian' boost.
But it didn't matter, he wasn't short of funds, he could treat it as a donation to the City Hall funds recovery.
"Draw them, let's see how many you can win."
The store owner didn't care, the prizes weren't coming from his pocket, HR wouldn't mark him down for a higher win rate at his lottery store.
In the fevered lottery atmosphere, an hour quickly passed.
"'Hongyun Qitian' status has been removed."
The system prompt pulled Liu Zheng out of his mechanical clicking frenzy.
"Ah Bao, count the lottery tickets."
He ordered, flexing his somewhat stiff hands.
"I've been counting all along, there are 6302 tickets in total."
"Looking at them one by one is too slow, is there a quick way to check the winnings?"
The store owner was absorbed in reading the newspaper, oblivious to his question.
"Looks like the boss wants to spend time alone with me. Fine, I'll stay here tonight. Ah Bao, go to the sanitation department and borrow a few flymen to serve me, remember, the smelliest ones."
He sternly instructed Panda.
The store owner put down the newspaper and said emotionlessly.
"Ah Bao, hand the scratch-offs over to him."
