Soon, the lottery center verified the authenticity of the scratch card.
The grand prize of one million yielded over eight hundred thousand after taxes.
But for Tang Feng, whose purse was nearly deflated, this was undoubtedly a tremendous sum!
Now, I finally count as a half-wealthy man!
...
After the eight hundred thousand was credited to his account, Tang Feng had no intention of lingering at the lottery stall and left with Song Lele.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the mentality of this young man is incredible. He won such a big prize and didn't even think about gambling a few more times. I definitely couldn't do that."
A middle-aged uncle who often played scratch cards marvelled.
"Give it up Mr. Huang, with your rotten luck, you're still dreaming of hitting the jackpot?"
The lottery stall owner was obviously familiar with the uncle and couldn't help teasing him.
"Psh, I was never destined to strike it rich in this lifetime, so much for winning the jackpot. I'll just play for fun."
The uncle grumbled a few words and casually bought a few scratch cards with a face value of five yuan each.
"Holy shit, I won too, one hundred..."
Everyone at the lottery stall turned their heads.
Could it be another million-dollar prize?
"One hundred yuan, wow, I'm raking it in!"
Everyone rolled their eyes.
While someone won a million, you celebrate over a hundred yuan, what's this fuss about?
...
On the side of the road, Tang Feng walked while looking at the balance on his phone, a satisfied smile creeping onto his face.
Indeed, this was the right way to use the All-Seeing Scanning System — in just a few minutes, it turned him from destitute to modestly well-off.
Awesome!
"Ale, you really are my lucky star. We just met today and you helped me scratch such a big prize!"
Tang Feng happily slipped his phone back into his bag, grinning from ear to ear at Song Lele.
"It's got nothing to do with me; it's your own luck. It was you who chose the scratch cards, all I did was scratch them."
Song Lele humbly shook her head, not taking any credit.
"Hahaha, without your scratching, where would I get such good luck? No more talk – I'll cover all expenses today! Let's enjoy ourselves to the fullest, just the two of us!"
Tang Feng heartily threw his arm around Song Lele's neck, laughing out loud and drawing the attention of pedestrians.
Song Lele was naturally happy for Tang Feng, however, she glanced at his hand resting on her body.
Tang Feng's hand was almost touching her chest!
How many times had they been in close contact today?
Song Lele felt a bit hazy.
Suddenly she regretted disguising herself as a man; there was no way to complain when taken advantage of, and it was infuriating!
With no other choice, Song Lele had to forcefully push away Tang Feng's hand and quickly moved aside.
Tang Feng looked at her, puzzled.
"What's wrong?"
Song Lele was speechless. She didn't want to make up any more lame excuses about not wanting physical contact.
"It's nothing, just felt a bit hot after walking a few steps."
Tang Feng, who was in high spirits, didn't think much of it. But he pondered for a moment before asking slowly, "Ale, given our luck today, do you know anywhere else where we can make money based on luck?"
After saying that, he added, "I mean the legal kind."
Song Lele: "?"
"Are you serious, young master?"
Tang Feng nodded confidently: "Of course."
Song Lele thought carefully:
"Legal, something that relies on luck to make money... what do you think about betting on stones?"
"I've played around with that a few times before with friends. You can make money if you're lucky, but most of the time it's a loss."
"Young master, you..."
Song Lele was about to say something more, but Tang Feng's eyes lit up upon hearing her words: "Then what are we waiting for!"
"Our luck is so good today, I feel like it could work."
"Where's the stone gambling venue? Let's head there right now!"
Song Lele: "..."
She felt like a bad person, leading a good friend astray.
No matter what, anything related to gambling isn't really a good thing!
This is it, the young master won't get addicted, right? If that happens, I'd be to blame!
A sense of foreboding rose in Song Lele's heart.
But seeing Tang Feng so excited, she didn't know what to say.
Sigh, forget it. Let the young master suffer a few losses first, then I'll give him a good talk, and everything should be fine, right?
However, what she didn't know was that for someone exploiting a system, things like odds and luck were irrelevant.
I'm already cheating, why bother with metaphysics?
It doesn't exist, alright!
Tang Feng mused to himself.
If the scratch cards could be scanned to find out whether one has won or even how much, then the stone betting should likely be no problem.
Not to mention anything else, just being able to scan whether there's something inside the stone means it's basically a no-lose deal.
Besides, stone betting is different from scratch cards.
The prize pool for scratch cards is limited at best.
Stone betting, on the other hand, has no limit!
If played big enough, the gains can be massive, which is something scratch cards can't compete with!
The rumored heaven with one cut, hell with one, isn't just an unfounded rumor.
The only thing Tang Feng was worried about now was whether this move could meet the funds needed for the system upgrade.
That is, the small goal of ten million yuan.
If the level 1 system is already this awesome, then the upgraded system would certainly take off!
Stone gambling venue, your emperor is coming!
