Chapter 60: Crooked Ways
An hour later, the four of us had put together a clearing near the middle of the trading street, surrounded by players watching the excitement.
The most eye-catching thing in the clearing, apart from the big beauty Violet, is a garbage whiteboard armor placed in the center, which I bought from the system store.
Of course, the armor is not valuable, the content is all in the armor.
It was originally hollow for wear, but now I've used it as a temporary box full of notes. Each slip of paper has a number written on it, and so on, starting with the first player to sign up "1", and then throwing in a number for each additional player who registers, and giving that player a corresponding number note.
After the final registration deadline, we will invite the beautiful Violet to personally select a number from the armor as the lucky player of this event.
Speaking of which, most people should understand what we're going to do - yes, it's a lottery!!
As for the prize, there is only one, that is, the piece of building materials in my hand, the market price is estimated to be 1,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 100 gold coins according to the gold coin exchange rate.
It's very simple to participate in our lottery, as long as each person pays two gold coins from me, you can get a chance to win the lottery, if you have a good face and a white character is hard enough, then congratulations, this thing belongs to you, otherwise, thank you for your support.
We solemnly promise that all proceeds from this event will be used for a charity event – a donation for an extraordinary watermelon for the innocent handsome deceived.
When everything was ready, I asked the Brute Bull to hold my staff aloft, with a piece of my carefully crafted rag tied to the top of the staff, with a large line crooked in writing on it: The First Violet Cup Draw.
Greeting Xiao Zhengtai to hand me a makeshift speaker handmade from cardboard, I cleared my throat and shouted to the crowd around me, "Hey! Feed! Note! Note! ”
Hearing my shout, the noise around me gradually subsided, and they all quietly looked in my direction. I nodded with satisfaction and continued to shout: "Don't pass by, the freshly baked Violet Cup lottery will start soon!" I believe you have already understood the specific lottery rules, and if there are any players who want to participate, please quickly go to my assistant, the big beauty Violet, to pay the fee!
Everyone, hurry up and take a chance to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle! Don't miss the opportunity! All you need is two gold coins for a chance to win a mega prize worth 1,000 dollars! ”
As soon as the words ended, the crowd suddenly became noisy again. There are those who are eager to try to sign up and pay, some who disdain to see jokes, some who wait and see silently, and those who want to plug in a lever to find fault and make trouble.
All players, whether they come or not, are welcome. And for those who make trouble for no reason, then I'm sorry, they will all be killed by the mascot of this event, Violet, one by one!
After Violet cleanly hacked a few players who were having a good time, the other players who were ready to make a move had to give up the idea of making trouble after weighing their strength. Among them, those who are willing to participate can only pay obediently, and those who are unwilling can either watch the excitement or leave silently.
The crowd returned to order again and the activity continued.
Seeing the number of participants increase, my heart is already happy. Even if you can't get back the 5,000 yuan you were cheated in the end, you can at least minimize the loss. Tsk, I'm still very satisfied.
"Hey......" The bull held the "flag" and elbowed me, and asked, "Big watermelon, how did you come up with such a crooked and evil method?"
"Watch the words!" I gave the brute a disdainful look, then raised my right hand and tapped my temple with my index finger, meaning that it was the crystallization of wisdom.
"Oh~~" The brute bull suddenly realized, and he didn't know if he understood it. "And how many people do you expect to sign up eventually?"
"It's hard to say...... "I scanned the pergola with my hand, "how can there be one or two hundred people?" After all, two gold coins are not expensive, and it is still acceptable to bet on luck, and you will know when the registration deadline is to look at the final number. ”
"Brother Gua, it's time." Xiao Zhengtai, who was in charge of recording the numbers, pulled me in the back and reminded me that it was time to sign up. This time cannot be delayed, otherwise it will easily lead to riots.
Ignoring the numbers, I picked up the megaphone again and shouted at the crowd, "Everyone! It's time to register! Please stand in your place after a while, and we will announce the results immediately! ”
As the words fell, the crowd began to bustle back and re-empty the middle.
"Now, we invite our most beautiful and touching violet beauties to draw the lucky players of this event!" I shouted by the neck and beckoned the reluctant Violet up.
She is still more reluctant to show up on this occasion, saying that she always feels like a circus monkey being watched by people, which is very unhappy. But at this time, if she picks the child, it will be the end of the calf, so I said that I had to say that the saliva was dry before she agreed.
After Violet came, she no longer grinded, and met the hot eyes around her, stretched out her slender jade hand in the midst of the ups and downs, and slowly took out a folded note after a few times in the armor.
At this time, the surroundings couldn't help but be quiet, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at Violet's thighs, and only a few of them were paying attention to the number in Violet's hand.
Violet picked up the note, opened it, looked at it, raised her hand to show the note to the surrounding players, and shouted, "Number 197!"
The people around were stunned for a moment, and after a second, they all scolded in unison: "......"
Only one of the archers jumped up excitedly, laughed wildly and rushed over, shouting "I'm hit, I'm hit," and quickly shoved a crumpled note to me.
I opened it and looked, and the number was indeed 197, which was good luck.
Looking up at this lucky person who was in a state of excitement, dressed in novice equipment, it was estimated that he had just entered the game. It was also thanks to him that he had the courage to spend two gold coins to gamble on luck, which should be all his belongings.
"Good luck." I smiled at him and handed him the stone. "That's the prize, now it's yours."
"Hey, luck!" The guy took it from my hand and looked at it a few times, and after confirming it, he didn't say anything more, thanked us, and turned away.
After the lottery was over, the surrounding players also began to disperse, and the upgraded friends went out of the city, selling things and setting up stalls again, and the enthusiasm just now quickly dissipated like smoke.
Now comes our main event: some money!
There were many people here, so I beckoned the three of Violet to go to a secluded place, and then eagerly urged Xiao Zhengtai to take out the gold coins and count them.
"What is there to count." Violet glanced at me with disdain and asked Xiao Zhengtai, "Quail, how many people have signed up?"
"Sister Huilan, today I finally got to No. 275, that is, 275 people signed up, two gold coins per person, that is, a total of 550 gold coins." Xiao Zhengtai replied seriously, which reminded me of the dead eunuch in the queen mother's bedroom in the TV series.
"Then you earned the watermelon!" Manniu calculated it and said: "550 gold coins is 5500 yuan, you were cheated of 5000, and you still earned 500, you can do it!"
"That must!" After listening to the final figures, I couldn't help but get carried away, "If it weren't for the magic of my big watermelon, how could there be such a result?" This is the loss of the horse, who knows if it is a blessing! ”
"Cut!" The violet trio struck at me with contempt at the same time.
"OK, that's the end of it." Violet snapped her fingers and said, "Now it's time for us to get on with our business." After speaking, he turned his head and looked at me: "Big watermelon, do you really want to continue to spend money to buy equipment?"
I touched my pocket, remembered what I had been hunted down, and nodded firmly. Anyway, this money is also obtained from the game, I will continue to arm myself with it, and I will definitely get more rewards in the future, which I am confident in.
"That's good, then head to the auction house!" Violet said no more, waving us to go.
