Chapter 1 Hit the jackpot

The weather in Los Angeles is as sunny and warm as ever. Shi Lei strolled alone on the seaside road, enjoying the feeling of the breeze gently brushing his face.

The beautiful women chatting and laughing on the beach in the distance, the palm trees swaying in the wind and the people doing various fitness activities on the plank road form a picture of a leisurely and comfortable life.

Shi Lei accompanied the leaders of his city's Animal Husbandry Bureau to various parts of the United States to conduct ranch inspections, and Los Angeles was already the last stop of the expedition. The first stop of this trip to the United States is also Los Angeles, so the last few days are free time, let the leaders buy some souvenirs, do some entertainment and so on, you know. And he didn't spend so much on American knives, so he took advantage of his free time to come out and enjoy the beauty of Los Angeles alone.

To be able to get such a hard-won opportunity to go abroad with the team, in addition to Shi Lei's English level exceeding the professional level of eight, I think what is more important is that the pair of superb panda goldfish that are now placed on the director's table are playing a role.

This pair of goldfish, which are now regarded as treasures by the director, are actually just ordinary goldfish that Shi Lei bought from the aquarium store for 5 yuan, but Shi Lei's unexpected ability to optimize and transform the animals allowed him to turn them into the best panda goldfish.

Shi Lei originally wanted to turn them into the legendary Vermilion Purple Robe, but he was afraid that the director would not dare to accept this pair of small things of 1.8 million.

This trip to the ranch really gave Shi Lei a lot of gains, and it also strengthened his determination to use his animal optimization ability to build his own ranch.

I was planning my own ranch route while looking at the scenery around me, until I got hungry in the afternoon, found a restaurant and had a cheap but very delicious steak (mainly good meat) and then returned to the hotel.

After taking a look around the hotel, he found that the leaders had not come back from going out for free activities, so Shi Lei took out the notebook he brought over and looked at it on the Internet.

The first time I came to Los Angeles, it was when the Powerball lottery prize exceeded $400 million, and all Americans were talking about this topic, so Shi Lei also took the opportunity to go to a convenience store to buy a random lottery ticket (foreigners can buy lottery tickets and claim prizes at local convenience stores with their passports).

Today happens to be the day of the lottery, although I don't report hope, but I can't help but want to take it out and take a look.

When Shi Lei took out the lottery ticket that he had never seen in his wallet, and after carefully reading the lottery results, he couldn't help but wipe his eyes vigorously, and after pinching his thigh to make sure that he was not dreaming, a ghost cry sounded in the room: "Ah...... Yes...... I won, ......I won, I won......, I won, I won, I'....... ”

Shi Lei jumped and jumped while shouting loudly what he didn't understand. After finally stopping this meaningless yelling, he couldn't help but look around like a thief, and after making sure that there was no one else around, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was such a big surprise experience as gaining the ability, so the recovery was relatively fast.

Holding this potentially fateful lottery ticket tightly in his hand, he couldn't help but grin and compare the numbers on the lottery and the lottery results over and over again, making sure that the six numbers are exactly the same (5 ordinary balls and a Powerball) and then looking up at the final winning amount, 590 million US dollars, after the single-digit count was confirmed, Shi Lei began to look forward to a better life in the future.

Even if there are other people who win the lottery, there will definitely not be many people, for fear that others will buy more lottery tickets. With such a surprise and a little worry (in fact, it is a lack of greed), in the end, Shi Lei didn't know how he slept through.

The next morning, Shi Lei, who was excited, woke up early, and learned from the morning news that the second largest prize in the history of the American lottery was 590 million US dollars from a convenience store in Los Angeles, and there was only one bet.

Shi Lei, who was finally sure that he had won the 590 million US dollar award, couldn't help but burst into a big mouth and laughed silently three times, letting go of that little bit of worry, and the rest was a surprise. Fortunately, I was mentally prepared not to become like a madman again.

This morning's routine summary and arrangement meeting became extraordinarily long in Shi Lei's eyes, and finally waited until the meeting was over, Shi Lei, who couldn't hold back his excitement, decided to take out the grand prize.

When he went out, he met the director, and Shi Lei politely took a step back and let the leader go first.

"Xiaoshi, are you happy today? Something good has happened, walking out in the spring breeze, is there a beautiful woman waiting for you? "The director has a look on my face that I understand as a man.

"Why? Leader joke I'm not. Isn't this going home tomorrow, I'm in a hurry to buy something for my family to take home, and my family, especially my niece, is still looking forward to it. Shi Lei tried his best to hide his joy.

"Little comrade, you are being dishonest. Do we have the opportunity to win glory for our country, and let the American people feel our warmth and friendliness? The director looked like you couldn't fool me, patted Shi Lei on the shoulder cordially after speaking, and left leisurely, I don't know if I went to find the American people for a cordial and friendly exchange.

Obviously, the pair of superb panda goldfish made the director treat Shi Lei as a cute guy and show his closeness in front of this man who can behave.

After the director walked away, Shi Lei tried his best to restrain his excitement and continued to walk out in a normal manner, saving himself from being seen by others again. Shi Lei doesn't want to be known that he has won such a big prize, as for why, you should understand.

Came to the door of the hotel, recruited a taxi with the help of the doorman, gave the doorman some tips and expressed his gratitude, and then Shi Lei got in the car and ran to the ** bureau of the city government.

The driver who drove the car was a black buddy, like most black brothers, this guy was not only very enthusiastic and talkative, but he was simply showing his rap talent, and his words were fast and urgent, and from time to time there were some black slang, which made Shi Lei listen very hard, and had to spend a lot of energy to focus on listening to people, but it relieved a lot of nervousness.

"Hey man, you're Chinese, right?" Before Shi Lei could sit down, the driver's rap-rhythmic voice was delivered to Shi Lei's ears, followed by a big enthusiastic smile.

Without waiting for Shi Lei to answer, the black brother began to say again: "Look, I know that you are Chinese." Now that the Chinese are old and rich, does the Beijing pound know? As he spoke, he rubbed his fingers together and made a money gesture.

"You Chinese live in such a luxury hotel, but it's really rare for Chinese like you to go to the city hall instead of running to the South Coast shopping plaza or Beverly's Rhodeo Avenue." The driver has a hellish expression, and he doesn't really condescend to be an actor with this expression.

"You know, in those places, you can often see Chinese piling up in front of luxury stores such as LV and Cartier as if they were waiting to buy special goods, as if they didn't want money, and kept holding all kinds of expensive things. So they coined the term Beijing pound.

I dreamed that one day I would become a Chinese myself, so that I would have a lot of money to buy whatever I wanted. The black brother was full of pilgrimage-like yearning, and even his eyebrows danced along with it, profoundly interpreting what it means to dance with eyebrows.

"And then I can learn the mysterious Chinese kung fu, you know, Bruce Lee is my idol," the black brother said, gesturing with his hand and saying, "Ah...... Da ...... Ahh......h

"By the way, buddy, you're also quite strong, do you know kung fu?" The driver looked curious.

Seeing Shi Lei shaking his head, the driver sighed with regret on his face.

"It's a pity, if I knew kung fu, I could learn from you, and then I could defeat the damn Cyclops Jack, the damn bastard. You know, I've been driving people for years, and that guy made me give him half of what I earned, let him die, bastard. ”

The driver obviously hated this guy named Jack, who was probably a gangster.

However, Shi Lei could only shake his head secretly when he looked at the black buddy's thin monkey-like figure.

Let's not talk about whether I will teach such an apprentice if I really know kung fu, even if someone is really willing to teach, unless this buddy can really practice to the level of Bruce Lee, it is impossible to beat this Jack, who knows that he is very big when he hears it, not to mention that Jack must have a few younger brothers.

It's just that it's not suitable to pour cold water on him at this time, so let him keep some expectations for kung fu.

Before Shi Lei could say a few words of comfort, the driver began to talk like a machine gun again.

Shi Lei had no choice but to watch the driver drive like a fish in the river of cars, while listening to his chattering and nagging. Well, whoever makes the buddy feel good today, he should listen to the live concert of black rap all the way. Don't say it, this black buddy's sense of rhythm is strong.

Finally arrived at the gate of the city government, Shi Lei was taking out the money, and the voice of the black buddy came again: "Hey, man, we are already brothers of different races, right, next time you need to use a car, call me directly, my rabbit Roger will definitely be able to send you to the place quickly and safely"

Waiting for Shi Lei to say "no need to look for it", Roger handed over a business card, and before Shi Lei's sentence of "Thank you, Roger" was finished, Roger's car had already disappeared.

Shaking his head, Shi Lei walked up the stairs and walked into the Los Angeles City Hall. It's not like many people imagine that there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, there is only one lady at the door to do a simple registration for you and then you can go in with a badge, of course, this is more than a set of security equipment in China. You must know that if Mi Di enters the government department with weapons such as knives and guns, it will be counted as an attack on the government, so the basic things are still there.

Under the guidance of this enthusiastic lady, Shi Lei climbed up and down, searched inside and out for a long time, and finally found the office with the lottery sign hanging at the door in a corner.
