Too Bad I Take Things Seriously

Chapter 189: 130


Afterward, he continued to stroll through several lottery shops. It was as if they had conspired, coming up with various excuses when they saw him. This scene... it feels familiar, he thought. Just a few months ago, when I was buying and selling houses... it seemed exactly the same!

Finally, he found a lottery shop and patiently explained, "You may have some misconceptions about me. I'm here today to sincerely buy lottery tickets, not to cause trouble."

The owner of the lottery shop, Ye Yuntian, swallowed, his face turning very unsightly, almost on the verge of tears. "Mr. Qin, why don't... you try another shop?"

He had also been following the drama these days and had a fair understanding of the whole process of Chen Ping being sent away. In Chen Ping's lottery shop, Qin Mu had bought only about a dozen entries at most. This time... he wants to buy two hundred entries! If this is targeting me, wouldn't it mean I'd be sitting in prison for good? Ye Yuntian thought frantically.

Qin Mu kept a straight face. This time, he refused to leave. "What's the reason you can't print the tickets this time?" he asked. "Is it because your wife is giving birth, you forgot to turn off the gas at home, or is the ticket machine broken?"

Ye Yuntian smiled wryly. So the excuses I just thought of... have already been used by others, he realized.

"You... are you really just here to buy tickets?" After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask again. Buying two hundred tickets in one go was already a big order for his shop.

Qin Mu's mouth twitched slightly, almost not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Am I really that frightening?

"Ahem, well... then give me your numbers, and I'll print the tickets," Ye Yuntian said after taking a deep breath. Clenching his teeth, he took on the order.

"Numbers? I'll read them; you just punch them in," Qin Mu said, somewhat taken aback.

"Huh?" Ye Yuntian's mouth hung open, looking as though he had learned something new. He had been running the lottery shop for several years. Those who bought multiple tickets at once always studied the numbers at home and brought them written down on paper. But Qin Mu's method of making them up on the spot... this is the first time I've seen it. Such a haphazard approach to buying lottery tickets!

"You... go ahead," he managed.

Then, he focused all his attention, listening to Qin Mu's numbers and printing the tickets, utterly concentrated. Before printing each ticket, he confirmed it repeatedly. I can't have another tragic incident of 'wrong tickets.' Others were buying one ticket; this is two hundred!

And so, Qin Mu carelessly invented numbers, reading them as they came to him. It took half an hour to print all two hundred tickets.

After printing, Ye Yuntian cautiously checked the two hundred tickets against the surveillance footage, counted them thoroughly, and handed them to Qin Mu. "Mr. Qin, please check them," he said. "Once this is settled, you'll know I haven't taken any of your tickets."

Qin Mu: "..."

After buying the lottery tickets, he took them back to the Mountain and Water Garden District. This time, he hadn't only bought the Double Color Ball but also other popular welfare lotteries like the Seven Star Lottery and Super Lotto. These lotteries usually stopped selling by 8:00 p.m., and the drawing was broadcast on television around 9:30 p.m. It wasn't a case of the drawing happening immediately after sales stopped.

After getting home, he waited patiently until 9:30 p.m. Once the drawing was over, he picked up the lottery tickets he had bought and started to carefully compare them.

"No prize."

"Fifth prize."

"Sixth prize."

"Fourth prize."

"Third prize."

"Second prize."

It took nearly an hour for him to finally compile the results for all the tickets. Out of two hundred tickets, 189 had won. The remaining 11 had not. Among these 189 winning tickets, most were third, fourth, and fifth prizes. Thirteen of them won the second prize. As for the first prize... none at all!

Is it that hard to hit the jackpot? Qin Mu was somewhat surprised after summing up the situation. I've personally added 1,300 luck points, so winning these small prizes of a few dozen or a few hundred bucks shouldn't be a big problem. I thought I'd win a first prize this time too. But a jackpot evidently requires too much luck or some other ingredient.

However, even the second prizes were worth several hundred thousand each. Altogether, from the two hundred tickets, he had made over three million in one go.

Still a bit short. Looks like I need to buy more lottery tickets tomorrow, Qin Mu muttered to himself as he gathered up the tickets. If luck is conserved, one more purchase should be enough to gather the 'lawsuit fund.'

「Meanwhile, at a certain lottery shop.」

"DAMN!"

"Third prize, won again?"

"Second prize?"

"Fourth prize?"

Exclamations of shock from Ye Yuntian were occasionally heard in the shop as he compared the numbers Qin Mu had bought that day. These numbers were recorded in his ticketing backend. He was just curious to see how many Qin Mu could win with two hundred tickets.

Unexpectedly, after tallying up, he discovered that out of two hundred tickets, 189 had won. That meant only 11 tickets hadn't won anything!

Is this guy's luck just too heaven-defying, or what? He swallowed hard. It quickly reminded him of the case involving Chen Ping. When they were busy gossiping, all they knew was that Qin Mu had bought a lottery ticket in Chen Ping's shop and forgotten to pick it up, and later, it won a jackpot. As for the details, they were unclear. But now it seems... Qin Mu is like a walking jackpot machine! Just casually reciting two hundred sets of numbers can win 189? I even suspect Qin Mu is some director's relative. Otherwise... how could he win whatever he buys?

In the aftermath of his shock, he took out his phone, opened a chat group, and sent a message: "I'll tell you all a secret. Qin Mu came to my shop today and bought two hundred lottery tickets. Guess what happened?"

It wasn't long before the other lottery shop owners in the group sent 'concerned' replies.

"HISSS! Two hundred tickets? You've got guts! Are you so crazy about money that you forgot how Chen Ping ended up?"

"I seriously suspect he's fishing. Are you sure you didn't make a mistake issuing the tickets? Did you give all of them to him? What if one was omitted..."

"Based on my many years of experience, you're probably screwed."

"Lucky me! When he came to my shop, I straight up told him I'd left the gas on at home."

"..."

Reading the responses, Ye Yuntian let out a wry laugh and told everyone the results of the lottery tickets.

Then, the entire chat group fell silent for several long minutes. The owners of the various lottery shops all sent question marks.

"It's true, they all won! Even the second prize was hit a dozen times! That means his two hundred tickets won him several million!" Ye Yuntian explained again. Such an outrageous event; I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.

And in the group chat, after a brief silence, it became noisy once again.

"Well played! What sort of luck is this? Did he save the galaxy in his past life?"

"A big loss, several million! He was even in my shop. If I had known, I would have followed his bets and bought the same numbers!"

"I wonder if he'll buy again tomorrow? Which shop might he go to..."

"God of Wealth! This is definitely the God of Wealth! Follow his bets, and you can't go wrong!"

"..."

These lottery shop owners completely changed their previous attitudes, now vying to praise Qin Mu. This kind of luck had truly opened their eyes. An opportunity to get rich overnight had once been right in front of them, but they hadn't cherished it. If they were given another chance, they would definitely seize it firmly and not let go, even if it killed them! As for the so-called 'risks,' they threw them all to the back of their minds. Compared to striking it rich, these 'minor risks' were something they were willing to take!
