Chapter 20: Grand Prize

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Fan took out a 100 yuan directly and bought these six scratch cards, swiftly scratching them.

The first card, nothing. The second card, nothing. The third card, also nothing. It was not until the sixth card that a small prize of 500 yuan suddenly appeared.

Although Zhang Fan knew that the first five cards were losers, he could not just throw them away without scratching them. That would raise suspicion.

“Hey, young man, you’ve got some good luck there. How about getting a few more?” Xu Fei said with a smile. 500 yuan, a small prize, but he did not want to give away the 500 and tempt Zhang Fan to keep scratching more tickets.

Zhang Fan smiled. You want me to continue? Then I’ll continue!

With his X-ray Vision, Zhang Fan continued to sweep over the scratch cards.

Soon, he found his target.

A 1,000-yuan reward. And there were also two small prizes of 100 yuan each.

Zhang Fan pointed to the series he had chosen, and Xu Fei happily handed him ten scratch cards.

Zhang Fan smiled and started scratching.

The second card, 100 yuan. The seventh card, 100 yuan. When Xu Fei saw the 200 yuan prize, his expression became somewhat unnatural.

This kid, why is his luck so good? He can win prizes with just a few random selections?

When Zhang Fan scratched the ninth card, Xu Fei’s eyes widened.

1,000 yuan? Damn, this is already the highest reward today. 16 scratch cards, 80 yuan spent, and this kid actually made 1,700 yuan.

“Hehe, boss, 1,200. Add that to what I won earlier, 1,700, and still 20 left. Pay up,” Zhang Fan said. He was not greedy. After all, Ye Yanran was still waiting for him to buy pants.

It would be the same in the future.

Zhang Fan thought of a road to riches. With just this skill, he could live a worry-free life.

“Wow, 1,700! This kid has some incredible luck,” a man nearby exclaimed enviously.

He had already spent 500 yuan and only won 10 yuan.

Xu Fei’s lips trembled. “Little brother, you’re so lucky today. How about getting some more? If you miss out today, you won’t have this opportunity again.”

Xu Fei really did not want to give up these 1,700 yuan. He believed that this kid could not handle it at all. Judging by his appearance, he was probably only 17 or 18 years old. Xu Fei knew the psychology of a gambler.

Zhang Fan sneered inwardly, pondered for a moment, and tapped his fingers on the glass, pretending to hesitate.

You want me to continue? Alright then, today, if I don’t make you cry, you won’t understand the true meaning of greed.

“Little brother, I also have 50-yuan scratch cards. The prizes are even higher, and there’s a jackpot of 50 million yuan,” Xu Fei pulled out a stack of 50-yuan scratch cards and threw them in front of Zhang Fan, tempting him with the breathtaking number of 50 million.

Zhang Fan nodded. “Alright, I’ll choose ten cards first.”

When Xu Fei heard this, his eyes narrowed with a smile. Ten cards meant 500 yuan. After two more rounds, this kid’s money would be gone. How could he possibly make money at his place? Xu Fei knew the winning rate of these scratch cards, and as for the 50-million jackpot? Forget about it.

Zhang Fan spread out all the scratch cards and started selecting.

100 yuan? Too little, no.

500 yuan? Hey, not bad, but this series adds up to only 500 yuan. No profit in buying it.

Next, next. Zhang Fan took a long time to choose and finally fixed his gaze on a 5,000-yuan prize.

Hey, that’s the one.

“These ones, I’ll buy them this time. I won’t buy any more,” Zhang Fan said.

Xu Fei continued persuading, “Little brother, with a 50 yuan scratch-off ticket, you can win tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions as a reward.”

Zhang Fan sneered coldly. This guy really wants me to lose everything, huh?

Zhang Fan calmly began scratching the ticket, and the man beside him leaned over, his eyes bloodshot, staring fixedly at Zhang Fan’s hand.

“Winning ticket, winning ticket…” the man muttered softly, as if he were scratching the ticket himself.

Xu Fei glanced at Zhang Fan, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. He’s too young, unable to control himself, right?

Nine consecutive tickets, and none of them were winners. The man beside Zhang Fan could not help but feel disappointed. “No luck.”

With a flick of Zhang Fan’s finger, the next moment, the man’s eyes widened.

“What the hell, 5,000!”

“Huh? 5,000?”

The people around them gathered, 5,000 yuan, equivalent to their monthly salaries.

Xu Fei almost spewed blood. Damn it, he won again? Is this kid defying the odds!?

Zhang Fan held the scratch-off ticket in his hand, teasingly looking at Xu Fei. “This time you have to pay up!”

Xu Fei burst into laughter. “Little brother, with such luck, you’ve earned 6,200 already. How about trying your luck some more? Look, with 100 yuan, you’ve made so much. My monthly salary isn’t even that high.”

“Oh, really? I also think I’m having a lucky day. Give me some more,” Zhang Fan said, deliberately choosing ten non-winning tickets. After all, even if luck is on his side, he should not win every time.

“Xu Fei, I’ll buy these ten.” A middle-aged man quickly snatched the ten scratch-off tickets from Zhang Fan’s hand, took out 500 yuan, and slammed it on the glass counter. He looked extremely excited as he started scratching.

“I say, mister, it’s not nice to snatch them from me,” Zhang Fan frowned. Damn it, there are even snatchers?

The middle-aged man raised his head, his face trembling with fat. “What’s the matter? I’ve paid for them. If you’re not satisfied, come and bite me.”

Zhang Fan was speechless. He randomly chose ten tickets and started scratching. This time, he did not activate his X-ray Vision. He also wanted to see how his luck would fare without it.

After all, the exhilarating feeling of suddenly winning the big prize could not be compared to using X-ray Vision.

“Hey, 500.” Zhang Fan was somewhat surprised. He won 500 yuan on the first ticket.

The group of people immediately turned green with envy. Damn, what luck!

The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Fan winning again, his face full of satisfaction.

The first ticket was a loss.

The second ticket was also a loss.

The fifth ticket, still no luck.

The ninth ticket, still no luck.

When he scratched the last ticket, his expression changed. Damn it, nothing, absolutely nothing, what a crappy luck.

Meanwhile, Zhang Fan had already won eight times by the time he finished scratching.

“F*ck, 1,000!” someone exclaimed in astonishment.

The middle-aged man’s face turned pale, and he leaned closer.

After scratching all ten tickets, Zhang Fan smiled. He had earned 1,500 yuan, making a total of 7,700.

Xu Fei’s face could not hold up either. Damn it, how can he win every time?

“Little brother, I still have 100-yuan tickets here. Doyou want some?” Xu Fei’s laughter sounded somewhat unnatural.

“Sure.” Zhang Fan smiled and activated his X-ray Vision, focusing on the hundred yuan bill. The next moment, his gaze froze.

Damn it, 500,000?

Zhang Fan’s heart trembled. 500,000 yuan could buy him a 100-square-meter house.

However, Zhang Fan quickly suppressed his excitement, calmly took ten more tickets, and waved them. “Do you want them? Should I give them to you?”

Zhang Fan was not pleased with the previous fat guy. He was really afraid that the bastard would snatch away his 500,000.

“Of course we want them,” the middle-aged man snatched them eagerly, his expression fierce as he glared at Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan sneered. He had checked these ten tickets, and none of them had a prize. He then chose ten non-winning tickets again. “Do you want to snatch these?”

The group of people shook their heads. They could not be shameless like that fat guy.

This time, Zhang Fan also took the ten tickets worth 500,000 and started scratching.

Zhang Fan’s hands trembled. 500,000, f*ck, it’s really 500,000.

This time, Zhang Fan tore off the ticket directly and used his fingernail to scratch.

When the figure of 500,000 appeared before his eyes, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

500,000 yuan, secured.
