Chapter 26: Scratch Lottery, The Last Supper
Valon carbon arrows, the arrow shaft is made of carbon fiber, which is light and not easy to explode. The inner diameter is 4.2, the deflection is 700, the straightness is +/-0.006, and each arrow weighs 18g. The water drop feathers with high elasticity and high recovery are used to effectively improve the stability of the arrow. The metal target arrow head is inserted, which has a certain lethality. It can barely be called an arrow for competitive competition. The disadvantage is that the wind deviation correction is not excellent. If there is wind outdoors, there may be a certain degree of deviation.
——The above is the most cost-effective arrow that is most suitable for Zhu Shijiu's budget introduced by the clerk of the bow and arrow equipment store.
300 yuan bought 12 pieces, which can be said to be quite expensive.
After Zhu Shijiu came out of the store, he went to the nearest lottery shop to buy scratch cards.
The clerk of the lottery shop was a young girl. She pointed to a stack of scratch cards on the shelf and let Zhu Shijiu choose it himself.
In order to prevent deviations caused by different return time points later, Zhu Shijiu chose to start from the bottom to brush the scratch cards.
He chose the simplest ticket, a scratch-off ticket worth 10 yuan. If the numbers match, there will be a prize, ranging from 1 yuan to 10,000 yuan. It is said that the return rate is about 65%, which means that the probability of winning after scratching is as high as 65%. For Zhu Shijiu, this mathematical calculation is meaningless.
Zhu Shijiu bought 20 tickets at once, and then sat in the seat in the store to scratch.
The first one...didn't win.
The second one...won 2 yuan, a loss.
The third one...didn't win...
The fourth one, won 20 yuan.
...
All 20 tickets were opened, and the final prize amount reached a pitiful 54 yuan.
Zhu Shijiu accepted the result calmly, and then bought 5 more tickets with the money, which surprised the clerk girl: "Brother, do you want more?"
"Yeah."
It was the first time that the clerk girl saw someone so calm when buying scratch-off tickets, so she looked at Zhu Shijiu a few more times, and then saw the long strip wrapped in a black package at Zhu Shijiu's feet.
The clerk swallowed her saliva and pretended to be indifferent and chatted casually: "Brother, what are you carrying next to you?"
"Arrow." Zhu Shijiu answered casually while opening the lottery.
"Sword?" The clerk's face changed.
Having seen many customers who have experienced ups and downs in lottery, the clerk felt a little touched by their hysteria. There are also people who get angry when they buy lottery tickets but don't win, and she is used to such customers' noise.
But there is a kind of customer she is most afraid of, that is, people who are neither sad nor happy after buying lottery tickets, and have a stern face with almost no expression.
There is a saying that a biting dog does not bark, and that kind of customer is the most terrifying when he goes crazy. A few years ago, there was even news of a knife-wielding person in a lottery shop.
The clerk was trembling with fear, and looked out the window. It was bright in the daytime, broad daylight, and she would not run into such bad luck, right?
Zhu Shijiu didn't know the inner struggle of the shop assistant. He opened five scratch tickets and won 16 yuan.
It happened that he won 54 yuan before and spent 50 yuan, and the remaining 4 yuan made up 20 yuan.
"Don't transfer the money to me, I want 2 more."
Zhu Shijiu was so calm that the shop assistant was scared.
"Brother, there are many unfair things in life, there is no need to compete over scratch tickets." The shop assistant's face was pale and she persuaded him implicitly.
Zhu Shijiu didn't understand what she meant and continued to scratch the scratch tickets in order.
This time, all the prizes were empty.
In total, he bought 27 tickets. There were quite a few scratch tickets that could win prizes, but most of them were negative returns. In the first 20 tickets, only one won 20 yuan with a positive return, and the rest were single-digit change that could not even recover the original cost.
In the second 5 tickets, one won 15 yuan.
The third one didn't win at all.
In summary, scratch tickets are really a rip-off!
200 yuan fell down, not even a splash came out.
Zhu Shijiu sat in his seat and took a deep breath, then picked up his phone and called Li Hua.
"Hello? Huazi, can you lend me some money?"
Li Hua was very surprised: "Borrow money? Brother Zhu, what happened?"
Zhu Shijiu sighed: "I went out and scratched a BMW, it was quite serious. The other party claimed 2,000 yuan, and I only have 1,000 yuan on me. Can you lend me 1,000?"
"Oh my god, Brother Zhu..." Li Hua was speechless.
Zhu Shijiu lied calmly: "I am embarrassed to ask my family for money. Don't worry, I will pay you back immediately when the living expenses arrive next month."
"Hey! Why are you saying that!"
Ten seconds later, Li Hua transferred 1,000 yuan to Zhu Shijiu.
Zhu Shijiu felt guilty and said solemnly, "Thank you."
"Don't be like that, it's so corny, I'm hanging up!"
Li Hua was actually saving money, so one thousand yuan was still affordable for him, and this was the amount Zhu Shijiu quoted after considering Li Hua's own financial ability.
The clerk girl was tingling with fear watching from the side.
But this was not enough, Zhu Shijiu called his family.
"Mom and Dad, I hit a BMW when I went out..."
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Shijiu's card had another two thousand.
With Li Hua's one thousand, the total was three thousand.
Zhu Shijiu looked at the clerk girl with a pale face and said, "Another three hundred tickets."
...
After walking out of the lottery shop, Zhu Shijiu's legs and feet were a little weak.
This was the first time in his life that he had seen money pouring from his hands into a bottomless pit.
He spent three thousand on Brother Pian, which was worth the money. Brother Pian's ability perfectly met his expectations and became an excellent fishing tool. He spent fifteen thousand on the bow and arrow, which was the foundation of his future survival against the black-clad man. Although Zhu Shijiu felt distressed, he could accept it.
But this scratch card...
"What a pit!" Zhu Shijiu cursed.
He looked at the long string of numbers on his phone, and his heart was a little calmer.
With these numbers, he would not be short of money for his next death rollback.
Although each positive return earns little, this thing is completely zero cost for Zhu Shijiu who can roll back, and each one has positive returns, which means that he can only buy more scratch cards with positive return value, and the positive returns will grow like a snowball.
As long as there are two or three such rollbacks, it is enough to clear out all the scratch cards with positive return value in a lottery shop. It is even possible that after a rollback, the money is saved up to buy all the equipment. Night vision goggles with a price of tens of thousands are no longer a dream, and you can also buy arrows of better quality. Bulletproof vests, gas masks, bulletproof helmets... these are no longer extravagant hopes.
Zhu Shijiu once again experienced the horror of his ability.
If the world was not about to be destroyed, he should be able to make a billionaire from scratch cards with this ability, right? It's a pity that he doesn't know how to trade stocks, otherwise a stock god will appear out of thin air in this world.
Even at the end, the clerk's expression looked very scared, and he didn't know what was going on.
After calming down a little, the sky was gradually getting dark, and he touched his empty stomach.
"Have a good meal before you die."
There was still a little change left in the card, and Zhu Shijiu walked into a Western restaurant and ordered a steak of more than 70 yuan.
The soothing music echoing in his ears gradually relaxed Zhu Shijiu's mood. As time went by, he finished chewing the last piece of steak in his mouth.
He wiped his mouth while looking at the guests chatting and laughing in the western restaurant, and sighed in his heart.
Those people who don't know tomorrow, enjoy this last happy time, and then die ignorantly.
I will go to save the world after dinner.
