Chereads / The Jackpot System / Chapter 12 - The Real Jackpot

Chapter 12 - The Real Jackpot

Even without counting all the gold coins in the white space one by one, Eirik could already estimate that they would be more than a billion. After all, it occupied the whole Trial Space until it could reach up to his waist.

"If I can get all the Gold Coins out... I will be rich!"

Then he recalled the lottery that he won before he got jailed, should he still get it?

"After all, money is money. Since I will be rich anyway, receiving more money is still good."

Looking forward to what kind of life he will be living after coming out of the jail, Eirik relaxed.

However, as soon as his body laid down on the floor, his intestines started moving loosely.

"F*ck, Warden! Warden! I need to go to the bathroom!"

As his cell does not have its own bathroom, Eirik needed to call the Warden so he could be escorted to the bathroom.

When he first came here he thought that his cell not having its own bathroom was good, but in cases like this... He was really hoping that the bathroom was just within his reach.

***

After coming out of the common bathroom of the prisoners, Eirik met the Doctor again.

"You As$hole! You are working for Lorcan!"

The doctor gave him a smirk and then acted innocently.

"Aren't you Lorcan? Why should I be working for you?"

The doctor really knows how to act. He could even go as far as winning the Oscar for how he was acting.

Yesterday Eirik didn't even notice that something was wrong with the doctor, if not for the phone call that he received.

"Hey! This is a warning! If you verbally attack a staff member again, you will be put on the Prisoner Level 7 detention."

Hearing the Warden, Eirik just gave an angry look towards the Doctor as he walked away from the bathroom. He didn't want the trial to be pushed back just because of the Doctor.

***

When the night fell, Eirik prepared himself to go back to the Trial Space. He emptied all his pockets in order to give space for the gold coins.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he found himself lying on the countless valleys of gold coins.

Greedy, Eirik started filling his pocket. These were all real gold coins. If he could smelt it or exchange it to the bank for the currency of Eldoria, he would become extremely rich.

As soon as his pocket was filled, all the excitement he got as soon as he set foot in this space was gone.

After filling up his pockets, he didn't really have anything to do. Just like yesterday, he went back to sleep.

***

It was a new day again. As soon as he woke up from his sleep, Eirik checked his pockets.

He wanted to see if he could take the huge amount of gold coins from the Trial Space.

When he put his hands inside his pocket, he didn't get disappointed. They were all full of gold coins.

"This is the real jackpot! F*ck!"

Due to the adrenaline rushing up through his whole body, Eirik started shouting and dancing of joy.

However, he was interrupted by the Warden giving the breakfast.

"Are you that happy to receive your croissant breakfast?"

Being heard by the Warden, Eirik was embarrassed but he still went to the door in order to take his breakfast.

"Obviously, I didn't get any chance to eat this before I came here."

The Warden didn't pity him and just gave him his breakfast.

"By the way, I want a roasted chicken with fries for lunch. For dessert I want... Let's see... Egg tart?"

"Hmm, there's an Egg Pie available. Would you rather have that?"

"Okay!"

Having received his order for lunch, the Warden closed the small door and went to give the breakfast of the other prisoners.

Having won the soccer game the other day, Eirik was able to eat the delicacies of his dream.

Like the croissant for his breakfast.

Back when he was a child, he saw on TV a family that would eat croissants dipped in hot chocolate coffee. Because he wasn't a child anymore, he requested a coffee as a partner for his croissant.

"If the accommodation on this cell was good, I feel like I would be staying in a hotel for free."

Not long after he ate his breakfast, a Warden came in front of his cell.

"Mr. Grimhawk, the court trial will be taken 3 days from now. Please prepare for it."

After saying that, the Warden left.

"Another trial..."

However, compared to other trials this was something that would decide his future.

If he gets a verdict as a criminal, he would spend his whole life in prison or mine Mana Stones.

If the worst case scenario would ever happen to him, the jackpot he possessed would not be able to bail him out of jail.

Government didn't bother with having a hidden amount of Gold Coins. They would rather have more manpower in mining Mana Stones.

After all, in order to buy a single Mana Stones one would need to for out at least 10,000 gold coins for poor quality Mana Stones.

Being one of the major monopolies of Mana Stones in the whole country, the Government was the richest. Due to that, the public welfare is also the best compared to other countries.

He really hoped that the trial would end up in his favor. After all, he didn't want to stay here. He wanted to be a free man without any crimes attached in his name, and his current biggest goal was to get into ASU.

"Dear God, please guide me in this trial!"

Because he felt that it was God who helped him in the Trial Space back then, he started believing in him a little bit.

Well, nothing will happen to him even if he believes in god. After all, the only thing that he was free to do right now was praying.

"But which God am I praying to?"

When these words left his mouth, something appeared in front of him.

[You have been praying to me but you don't even know me?! Hmph!]
