Chapter 166 Welfare Lottery
The matter of the Heavenly Dao Sect wanting to arrest the important people of the mysterious organization, in addition to the great forces being very concerned, the scattered cultivators of the entire cultivation realm are paying close attention to the news inside, and there are even many people who have organized the scattered cultivators to resist the Heavenly Dao Sect together.
Chen Laoshi is one of them, he is an ordinary Qi refining period cultivator, his qualification is only a pseudo-spirit root, he is already over seventy years old this year, and it is estimated that this life is almost over. Although a Qi refining period monk has been tempered by spiritual energy because his body has been tempered by spiritual energy, it is not a problem to live past a hundred years old, and if he is lucky, he can live to one hundred and fifty.
Because he knew that his qualifications were not good, since the beginning of his cultivation, Chen Laoshi had never hoped that he would be able to make a good reputation in the cultivation world. At that time, because of the problem of qualifications, no sect was willing to take him in, and in the end, he had to seek basic cultivation exercises from some more generous casual cultivators, and began to explore himself step by step.
After rolling in the cultivation realm for so many years, Chen Laoshi's stumbling came like this, no adventures, no dangers, no enmities, just a very dull life. When he was fifty years old, Chen Laoshi began to get tired of this life, found a small city, got married, had children, and settled down.
Although this is only a small city, it is also a city in the cultivation realm, and there are a lot of monks who come in and out every day, Chen Laoshi opened a grocery store in the city, and used the incomplete alchemy method he got to refine some healing pills for sale, and the small life was finally good, and there were hundreds of lower grade spirit stones every month.
A few years later, Chen Laoshi's newly married mortal wife gave birth to a white fat son named Chen Dawen, whose name was a little more ordinary, but it was easier to remember. This son's qualifications are much better than his father's, and he is a three-spirit root monk, if he can get a better training. There is no problem in becoming a monk of the Yudan period.
Since getting such a great son, Chen Laoshi has become more attentive to the operation of the grocery store, not only healing pills, but also began to try to refine other different pills, hoping to earn more in his lifetime, so that his son can have more resources in the future.
That's it. Chen Laoshi has been working hard for more than ten years, getting up early and working greedily, and finally raised a good amount of money, and sent his son to a relatively well-known middle sect of the righteous path nearby.
Although he had successfully sent his son to the sect for cultivation, the expenses would become even greater in the future, so Chen Laoshi did not dare to relax, and his working hours exceeded seven or eight hours every day. Fortunately, he has always insisted on cultivating, otherwise he would have died long ago after working for so many years.
A few years ago, Chen Laoshi found that the business volume of the store had actually decreased significantly, and even the monks in the city began to decrease, and there were tens of thousands of people every day, but one day, the flow of people was already very remarkable. Reduced foot traffic. The most profound impact on the city is shops such as Chen Laoshi. Business plummeted, and even the monks who entered the city did not take a second look at the nearby shops.
Chen Laoshi has been immersed in running his own grocery store, of course, he doesn't know why this happens, but his son Chen Dawen thought of it. Not long after, Chen Dawen took a break. He returned to the city and brought his father a mobile phone.
When he first came into contact with the mobile phone, Chen Laoshi still had a little resistance in his heart, after all, it was this thing that caused his business to become so bad, but under the patient teaching of his son. Chen Laoshi began to understand the extraordinaryness of this thing little by little, and soon fell in love with it.
The term Internet began to appear in Chen Laoshi's life, and soon he opened his own store in Taotao Mall, and the name of the store was Honest Grocery Store, which was very personal to him. The pills he had refined himself were still sold in the shop, and although they were not precious pills, they were cheaper, and many monks would become repeat customers after using them.
Because it is sold online, you can buy it if you like it, even if you don't like it, Chen Laoshi has saved a lot of effort, and he no longer has to please those picky guests, plus there are more customers online, from all corners of the Xiuzhen world, although Chen Laoshi's store is not famous, but it finally makes more money than before.
The work is relaxed, the time is abundant, and the income has increased, Chen Laoshi found that the mobile phone is so good, and the most important thing is to be able to communicate with his son anytime and anywhere. For the two of them, the son who is alone is everything, and after having a mobile phone, although they still can't see each other often, at least they can know the recent situation of their son at any time.
At that time, Chen Laoshi also thought that his future life would be like this, earning mobile phone bills through online stores, and then transferring them to his son's mobile phone, which he used to exchange for the spirit stones needed for cultivation. But he never thought that the only luck in his life was still to come.
Two years later, after an update of the mobile phone system, there was an additional program for the welfare lottery, and Chen Laoshi clicked in and looked at it out of curiosity.
This procedure, called the Welfare Lottery, is to provide the majority of monks with a small opportunity to make a big difference, and the lottery is drawn twice a month, on the first and fifteenth day of the month. The welfare lottery is transformed according to the principle of two-color balls, because there are too many people in the cultivation realm, and if you don't increase the number of some two-color balls, it is easy to win the jackpot.
So the rule is to pick seven numbers from the forty-four red balls and one number from the twenty blue balls to form a special combination. If the numbers drawn in the current draw are the same as all the numbers you bought, then you have won the first prize.
According to the program, the income of the first prize is seventy percent of the prize money raised in the current period, and if there is more than one first prize, then everyone will share it equally. If all the red balls are guessed correctly, it will be the second prize, and you will also get the remaining 30% of the prize. The remaining third, fourth, and fifth prizes only set up fixed bonuses, which are 50,000 mobile phone bills, 20,000 mobile phone bills, and 5,000 mobile phone bills.
At that time, Chen Laoshi looked at the bonus accumulation in the bonus pool, and it rose to one billion mobile phone bills in just one hour, which is converted into a top-grade spirit stone! Chen Laoshi, who had never even seen a high-grade spirit stone in his life, suddenly found that he had the opportunity to get the best spirit stone, how could he not be moved, if he could help his son earn so much mobile phone bill, would I still need to work so hard to alchemy?
Although Chen Laoshi was very interested in the generous prize money in the welfare lottery, after looking at the winning rules inside, he quickly calmed down, just picked some numbers at random and bought two lottery tickets.
To guess the final draw numbers from so many number balls, you can't do it without a lot of luck. If you want to invest in multiple lines, it is not impossible, but each bet costs 10 points of mobile phone bill, and all combinations are bought, and the mobile phone bill you spend is almost equal to the total amount of the prize pool.
Those who want to fight for luck are interested, and even people like Chen Laoshi who hold the idea of not buying for nothing are also interested, and the welfare lottery industry has gained a firm foothold in the Xiuzhen world.
At that time, many people were worried about whether the mysterious organization was making money, after all, the lottery numbers were still announced by them, and they had the final say on whether they did anything or not. So when the first welfare lottery went on sale, not too many people participated in it, and in the end, the prize pool only accumulated more than 5 billion mobile phone bills, not a lot, but for those who are at the bottom of the loose cultivation, it is better to have the opportunity to fight than not.
In order to show justice, when the lottery was drawn, the mysterious organization did not directly announce the winning numbers, but made two large bead drawing machines, which were made of materials that isolated the aura, just to prove to everyone that they would not be affected by the influence of foreign aura, which was absolutely fair and open.
The two balls were filled with red and blue balls, and for justice, the camera was specially slapped against all the balls, so that there would be no duplicate or missing numbers. When the time was up, all the balls were immediately thrown into the drawing machine, and the three large bars inside kept spinning, disrupting all the balls.
The audience in front of the mobile phone kept staring at the operation of the bead drawing machine, and some excited people kept shouting the numbers they chose, eager to go to the scene to watch in person. When it is almost done, every thirty seconds, a red ball will fall outside, and this is the current number.
As more and more red balls appeared, many people let out a sigh, this time there was no hope. Although many people are very disappointed, the tension and anticipation that appear when looking at the numbers is so exciting, and many people can't help but like this kind of thing.
Sometimes, luck will not patronize those who care, but find those who don't care about the gains and losses, Chen Laoshi won the second prize of the first welfare lottery in a daze, and it was a one-vote winner, and he got a three-percent bonus of the prize pool, that is, 1.5 billion mobile phone bills.
Although the mysterious organization that sold the welfare lottery charged a 10% bonus as an operating fee, he still got 1.35 billion mobile phone bills in the end, and he also had thirteen top-grade spirit stones, which was a huge amount of money for a Qi refining period cultivator like him.
After Chen Laoshi became a rich man, he was very grateful to the mysterious organization, and at this time, when he knew that the people of the Heavenly Dao Sect were going to deal with the mysterious organization, of course he was nervous.
These sects like to compete for power and profit, and they don't care about them at all, and now they still want to get involved in this conscientious force that favors the vast number of loose cultivators, which is inseparable from the vast number of loose cultivators.
Therefore, Chen Laoshi immediately anonymously accused the Heavenly Dao Sect of injustice on the Internet, and called on the vast number of scattered cultivators to unite and boycott the Heavenly Dao Sect together, and if they did not apologize for their actions, they would no longer patronize the stores they opened on the Internet in the future and deal with them financially.
