Level 1 Player

Chapter 104 lottery lottery

‘Hey, that’s great!’

Sales exploded.

In particular, the random box sales power of RPG games like Lee × G was beyond imagination.

‘Well, this is a random box because the mechanism is no different from gambling or the lottery.’

In fact, it was a legitimate scam.

‘The time has come for the point lottery to open soon.’

The lottery was also part of the gacha system.

It was planned to make and distribute various types of lottery-like tickets to instant lottery tickets.

Naturally, the sale and payment had to be done through a computer connected to the jewel of an alternating current.

“Once you have a lottery boom, you have to win big.”

The number of participants increases only when there is certainty that an instant payment is possible.

‘There is no need to pay taxes, so let’s eat only 20% of the operating fee.’

Then, Hyunseong’s share becomes 14% and Guest’s share becomes 6%.

The other 80%?

Everything belongs to the winner.

‘80% is enough.’

In the case of Korean lottery, 50% of sales are paid as winnings.

If the winnings are large, a 33% tax is levied.

Paying 80% of the sales as winnings literally meant that it was a very “beneficial” lottery.

‘If there is a problem, it is the amount of sales.’

Although the number of level 1 players is large, it is in the order of 10,000.

When tens of millions of people buy a lottery ticket and hundreds of millions of people buy a lottery ticket, the winnings increase.

But what if only 10,000 people buy a lottery ticket?

Even if the selling price per sheet was raised and assuming that one person purchased multiple copies, the winnings were bound to be small.

‘Then you have to make it as difficult as possible.’

February.

If you take out the strongest weapon called carryover, this problem is easily solved.

* * *

Gaktubuk was in great disappointment.

‘I spent too many points.’

The communication cost for multiplayer and the monthly game fee were not too burdensome.

However, the point I threw in the random box a while ago was very painful.

‘I’m crazy. To spend such a large amount of points on a game… … .’

I was blinded by the desire to have a jibpan sword.

If the jibpan sword had come out of the random box, I would not have felt this sense of loss.

But the jibpan sword didn’t even look at it.

‘I should have gotten out in the middle.’

My eyes returned to the message to acquire the jibpan sword that kept popping up.

I couldn’t give up halfway because the money I had invested in the random box was a waste, so I bought more.

‘The random box is not necessarily the item I want to get tens of thousands of.’

I fell into the illusion of common probability.

The random box is a new challenge to a rare probability every time whether 100, 1,000, or 10,000 are opened.

If you cut 9,999 random boxes, the jib sword did not come out of the last one random box.

I realized the obvious truth too late.

‘I should have stopped in the middle. If that was the case, I could have obtained a jibpan sword.’

Gaktoubk also lost points, but the fact that he didn’t have the spear that other players were carrying was even more tragic.

A lot of jibpan swords were released through random boxes.

At the same time, a jigsaw sword that can not be obtained no matter how many points appeared in the item × ×.The price of the jibpan sword was quite expensive.

However… … .

‘If I hadn’t built a random box, I would have bought a jibpan sword.’

I couldn’t buy a zipped sword because I had too many random boxes.

I tried to make up for it by selling the relatively large number of chapan swords for item × ×.

However, there were too many chapan swords in the random box, so the price plummeted.

‘I will never again play with these tactics.’

Gaktoubk firmly vowed.

Even if an event like this happens again, I decided to give up my urgency and wait calmly.

‘It is beneficial to collect points to purchase random boxes and purchase them from item × ×.’

With a little patience, you can get better items for less.

Gaktubuk thought he had learned this truth by paying a high tuition fee.

‘Let’s play a light game.’

Gaktubuk turned on the computer.

Gaktoubk was stressed by the game.

But I was trying to relieve that stress with a game.

Gaktoubk had already been reborn as a great game fanatic.

“uh?”

An advertisement for a lottery caught Gaktubk’s eyes as he was about to start the game.

“Lotto?”

A lottery ticket called lotto.

‘You just have to guess the numbers, right?’

I was curious.

But didn’t you just have time to reflect on yourself?

Gaktoubk forcibly ignored the lottery advertisement and started the game.

‘Huh? what’s this?’

I went to the store to buy a potion.

They also sold lottery tickets there.

It is equipped with a system that allows you to purchase lottery tickets even in-game.

Lottery sales were going pretty well.

Cumulative sales continued to increase in real time.

“Well… … .”

I got a little curious.

‘If you don’t buy in bulk like a random box, you’ll be fine.’

This is an opportunity to invest a small amount and get great fortune.

As long as you don’t pour a lot of points like a random box, the damage isn’t too big.

After thinking about it for a while, Gaktoubk bought 10 lottery tickets.

‘This is fine.’

Even if the lottery was lost, there was no damage to Gaktubuk.

It was just going out and throwing away a level of pennies that could be recovered by just catching one hero-grade monster.

A week passed like that.

“Hmmmm.”

He said he wasn’t expecting much, but for some reason, he was looking forward to it.

If I won 1st place, I thought about what I would do with it.

‘Well, even if you win first place, it’s not a big amount of money to turn your life around.’

However, the damage caused by purchasing a random box a while ago was enough to recover lightly.

Announcing the winning numbers started on a live broadcast.

Queen Gespit came out and turned the winning machine.

Gaktoubk looked at his lottery numbers floating on the computer screen without much expectation.

– The first winning number is 25.The first winning number came out.

‘uh?’

number one was correct.

Demon King Geth Pitt continued to call her winning number with a calm expression.

– The second winning number is 5.

hit again

My heart was pounding like crazy.

-The third winning number is 1.

‘What is this?’

The numbers continued to match up to the 4th and 5th.

gulp!

The dry saliva passed.

My heart was pounding like crazy.

‘What if the last one is right?’

1, etc.

– The last sixth winning number is 31.

“Ahhh!”

A sigh came out of nowhere.

Unfortunately, the winning number for Gaktoubk was 32.

They missed 1st place by one number.

– The bonus number is 33.

I also missed the 2nd one.

It was also a number one difference.

“what’s this?”

Gaktubuk’s face was distorted.

That was then.

-Congratulations on winning 3rd place for player Gaktoubk!

The computer gave me the 3rd prize with a congratulatory message.

I bought ten lottery tickets and won 3rd place.

I got more than 30 times the amount invested in buying the lottery ticket.

But he wasn’t happy at all.

‘If only one more number was correct.’

was 1st.

‘How can you become third place with just one number difference between first and second place?’

I felt so sad that I was about to cry.

That was then.

-Unfortunately, there was no 1st prize winner in the 1st round.

Queen Gespit announced that there was no 1st place winner in the 1st round.

-According to the terms and conditions, the 1st prize will be carried over to the 2nd round. The 2nd 1st prize winner announced next week will monopolize both the 1st and 2nd 1st prizes.

It returned to Gaktubuk’s eyes.

A huge amount of money flew right in front of my eyes.

Even with only one number difference.

– Double your luck on the second round.

With the last words of Guest, the live broadcast announcement ended.

‘Even if I bought 11 lottery tickets instead of 10.’

If it did, it sure seemed like he would have won 1st place.

‘I wish I bought more by combining numbers with the lottery I bought.’

It seemed like it would have been number one.

Gaktubuk bought lottery tickets in bulk.I bought it carefully considering all the combinations of numbers.

It’s as if you could even win 1st place.

Gaktbuk was still unable to escape the illusion of probability.

* * *

‘Its beginning is small, but its end will be great.’

A satisfied smile bloomed on Hyunseong’s lips.

lottery lottery.

Its beginning was small.

The winnings were too small to be called a lottery, and there were not many buyers.

However, as it has already been carried forward six times, the winnings have snowballed.

Carrying forward 6 times doesn’t make it 1+1+1+1+1+1.

It might have been 1 in the 1st round, but the 2nd round became 4 and the 3rd round became 20.

This is because as the winnings increase, the number of people who purchase the lottery ticket has increased tremendously.

Even those who did not purchase lottery tickets bought a few out of curiosity when the winnings went up.

There has been a huge increase in new customers.

‘I can afford the points spent on live broadcasting.’

With Hyunseong’s brushwork, Guest made a prototype.

The problem was the price.

The amount of points consumed to transmit a live video was so extreme that it was beyond imagination.

As a result, it was impossible to broadcast live e-sports for a long period of time.

However, live broadcasting of lottery numbers was possible.

‘In order to gain trust, it must be broadcast live.’

There was a high possibility of losing credibility by saying that it was a manipulation or something if it was recorded until the lottery wins.

‘It was a good idea to put in the terms and conditions that the first prize winner must be interviewed for the prize money.’

The first first prize winner had to impress many people that the lottery ticket was not a scam.

In reality, there would be many cases where interviews would be burdensome, but this was not the case here.

Level 1 players that exist independently in each dimension.

Even if you win a large sum, there is no way to harm or request a donation.

‘But the winner should come out soon.’

The fire ignited properly.

However, it was difficult even if the winner did not appear for too long.

It was because public opinion that it was a scam that could not have a winner in the first place was slowly gaining strength.

Some radical players even threatened that if the lottery was found to be fraudulent, they would collect points as a group to forcibly open the dimension gate and move to Hyunseong’s dimension to create a muddy field.

I asked Gespit just in case, and he said that if a high-ranking player consumes a lot of points, even allies can open the dimension gate.

It was terrible for Hyunseong.

Because he knew that monsters worse than himself could invade Earth.

‘Well, I heard that the penalty is so big that the probability of that happening is close to zero, but… … .’

The anxiety was unavoidable.

On the day of the announcement of the 7th lottery winning numbers.

Hyunseong looked at the guest with a tense expression.

“I will draw the 7th lottery winning number.”

The guest was quiet.

Guest turned the winning machine.

“The first number is 9. The second number is 29.”

Guest calmly turned the machine and announced the lottery winning numbers.

Hyunseong looked at the list of winners with an anxious expression.

Since the lottery was conducted by computer, the winners could be checked in real time.

“The last six numbers are 11. Bonus number is 17.”

After Guest’s words, all the lottery winning numbers came out.

‘It came out.’

Hyunseong’s eyes widened.

Finally, the lottery winner has arrived.

Hyunseong signaled to Guest.

“Ah, the lottery winner has finally arrived. Gald, congratulations on being the first first prize winner of the lottery.”

Hyunseong immediately sent an interview request to Guest’s announcement.

Player Gald luckily accepted the interview request right away.

He said he wouldn’t give the prize money if he didn’t do the interview, so he had no choice but to do it.

– Heuk! Such luck is coming to me! Thank you, Guest! Thank you, Hyunseong Choi!

The first winner of the lottery, Gald, exclaimed in a weeping voice.

Tears were dripping from Gald’s eyes, and his snot was dripping from his nose.

But the winner, Gald, seemed completely unaware of that fact.

– I had a really hard life. The dimension I was in didn’t have any specialties to sell to another dimension. I had a hard time believing that the lottery lottery was my only hope, but I never dreamed that this kind of luck would come to me… … .

There was no need to induce a positive interview with the winner Gald.

Gald confided his story in every word.

From the meaning of his own name meaning money in his own dimension to the story of his struggles in difficult family circumstances… … .

No matter who heard it, they could tell that they had a hard time and won the lottery with the lottery.

‘Mr. Guest.’

Hyunseong slowly signaled to end the interview.

If the interview is longer than necessary, the live broadcast will be longer.

Then the communication fee is too high.

Now was the time to end the live broadcast with the necessary closing remarks.

“Ah, Gald-nim, I heard your feelings about winning the prize. This time, you became the first lottery winner in all dimensions, what would you like to do first when you receive the prize money?”

“I will buy myth grade elixirs and skills! Oh, and I’ll buy myth grade weapons and armor too. uh? Not enough points to buy everything… … .”

“Yes, it is. Congratulations. Then we will end the interview here.”

Gespit interrupted Gald and announced the end of the interview.

Hyunseong also quickly disconnected from Gald.

“With this, we will end the live broadcast of the lottery winning announcement. Please give a lot of love to the 8th lottery, which will start next week.”

As soon as Guest could finish speaking, Hyunseong ended the broadcast.

“Whew!”

Hyunseong let out a long sigh.

I was very happy to have the 1st place winner.

It would have been a disaster if he hadn’t come out again this time.

‘You should make a request to make a review.’

If possible, I planned to ask them to take pictures of the items they bought with the winnings and upload them.

“Are you safe now?”

Guest, who showed the appearance of a skillful host, smiled and spoke to Hyunseong.

“Yes, Gespit. Indeed, if there was no winner this time, the dimension of my life would have been destroyed.”

“These are people who only spit out their words and do not have the courage or points to execute. Don’t worry about it.”

Guest said coolly.

“Still, just in case.”

“If it really falls, hit me and it’s over.”

“How do I beat those players?”

“Didn’t you earn a lot of points this time?”

At Guest’s words, Hyunseong was at a loss for words.

It wasn’t wrong.

Income from the introduction of the gacha system.

Income from lottery sales.

As a result, Hyunseong earned a staggering number of points.

“If you just use the points you have accumulated, you will become much stronger than you are now.”“I have a plan to use the points, but I don’t know if that will help a lot.”

“It seems that you are still not using the power of God.”

“Yes.”

The lava giant we fought recently was quite a tricky opponent.

However, it was the environment rather than the strength of the lava giant.

It was a situation that could be avoided as much as possible to avoid the body, so I did not feel any threat to my life.

‘Well, if that’s the case, that would be a big deal.’

If the passive skills he was learning to steal the power of God were activated, that was also a problem.

I was constantly buying and learning the mental defense skills, but it didn’t completely prevent the side effects that come when the buff skills are activated.

“There is no need to be too hasty. You are getting stronger quickly.”

“is that so?”

“Of course. I’ve lived for thousands of years, but I’ve never seen a player get stronger as quickly as you.”

thousands of years… … .

In front of the overwhelming number that came out of Guest’s mouth, my breath caught in my throat.

But it was also natural.

‘Actually, if you only have points, you won’t die of old age.’

If he continues to earn points, Hyunseong will continue to maintain his current look.

Hyunseong is over 30 years old.

But on the surface, he only appears to be in his late teens or early twenties.

He doesn’t feel much separated from his family now.

However, as time passed by 10, 20, or 30 years, the sense of disparity was bound to increase.

“Guest, do you know how long a player’s lifespan is?”

At Hyunseong’s question, the guest burst into laughter.

“No matter how many players you are, you cannot go against the flow of time. It is the natural principle of the world for the body to age and return to nature as we get older.”

“Aren’t you and Gespit going directly against the principles of that world?”

“That’s because there is a mission to bear.”

“Is that your mission?”

“I can’t tell you that yet.”

At the guest’s words, Hyunseong put on a sad expression.

The relationship between Hyunseong and Guest has improved tremendously.

Gespit liked Hyunseong in the first place, and it was also because their partnership led to a monthly game plan, a gacha system, and even lottery sales, where they hit a home run in a row.

“It is the rule of the world to go when the time comes. Unless it is a special case like us, it is only natural that we cannot live for a few hundred years at most.”

‘uh?’

I think I just heard something strange.

“How many hundred years?”

“Yes, there are differences depending on the race, but in the case of the human race, no matter how much players become players, they can only live that much.”

‘Isn’t it a very long life in a few hundred years?’

Although it is said that the 100-year-old era was opened with the development of new drugs using magic stones, most of the lifespans of ordinary people were only 70 to 80 years old.

“If it’s a few hundred years, you mean you’ll live for more than 100 years, right?”

“It depends on your stats and the skills you have learned. If it’s level 100, it won’t be much different from the average person, but if you’re roughly level 600, you can live for 300 years if you don’t.”

Hyunseong’s eyes flashed.

This was quite important information.

In the world where Hyunseong lives, there has not been a clear survey result on the lifespan of the player yet.

Although the prediction that they would live longer than the general public prevailed, it was difficult to accurately determine the body aging over time.

“There are a lot of people who grieve when their acquaintances pass away. Make sure you prepare your mind ahead of time.”

Guest said as if hundreds of years would pass in a blink of an eye at any moment.

But not for Hyunseong.

Even 100 years was a long time that could not be easily estimated.

Hundreds of years?

‘There is still a lot left.’Father and Baek Woo-shin are both players, so there is no need to worry.

Lucia will enjoy eternal life with Hyunseong.

‘I’m going to make my mom and my sister into players.’

After she learned that the recruitment skill and elixir also work for ordinary people, she worried a lot.

But now I have definitely made a decision.

Give her mother and sister an elixir.

So we will spend as long as possible together.

‘Of course I should ask.’

It seemed that my mother and older sister would not have much objection.

‘The elixir must be hidden.’

You can not only get the same strength as the player, but also get a long lifespan.

When this is known, non-Awakened people who are not players and grab money and power will not stand still.

Either way, he’ll try to get an elixir from Hyunseong.

Perhaps there will be a horrific war of death and killing between humans.

‘I’m confident I won’t be taken away, but I don’t need to risk exposing it.’

Fortunately, there was a legendary class lord, so I was relieved.

This is because, among those who took the elixir, no one has ever exposed it to the outside world.

* * *

After the lottery sales live broadcast, Hyunseong returned home and gathered his family.

“What are you doing today?”

Hyunseong’s mother, Ms. Park Mi-sook, asked with a puzzled expression.

Because this was the first time Hyunseong had called his family together.

“I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?”

At her mother’s question, Hyunseong cautiously opened her mouth.

“It is said that players live longer than ordinary people. Aging is relatively slow.”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

There are no exact research results.

But everyone knew that.

“It is resistant to disease.”

It doesn’t take it at all.

However, the magic in the body blocks all kinds of diseases.

“That’s why not everyone wants to be awakened like that.”

They earn a lot of money, have a healthy body, live longer, and don’t get sick.

Because of that, everyone dreams of awakening as a player.

“Does your mother want to be a player too?”

“Of course it would be nice. It’s scary to go into dungeons and catch monsters.”

“Uh-huh, even if you awaken, you don’t have to go into the dungeon to hunt.”

His father came out and cried.

“But if you don’t level up, players are no different from ordinary people.”

If you don’t level up, you can’t get undistributed stats.

Then, of course, there was not much difference in physical ability compared to the general population.

“Hump, that’s… … .”

His father clouded the end of his speech and looked at Hyunseong.

“I can fix it.”

Hyunseong received his father’s words.

“you?”

My mother asked with a puzzled expression.

“Please accept this first.”- You have proposed to Mi-sook Park, a non-Awakened person.

“Oh? What is this?”

“I will explain in a moment. My sister accepts it too.”

Hyunseong also cast the skill to recruit her older sister.

– You have proposed her appointment to Hyeon-ji Choi, a saint who is not awakened.

-Non-Awakener Park Mi-sook accepted the job offer.

– Non-Awakened Choi Hyun-ji accepted the job offer.

Both of them accepted Hyunseong’s appointment offer.

“Wow!”

“What is this?”

The two suddenly felt like they were getting stronger.

No, it wasn’t a feeling, it was actually.

Then Hyunseong opened his mouth.

“From now on, you must never tell anyone what I am saying. Don’t even talk to your family.”

At Hyunseong’s words, the two nodded.

“I can make you two more like players.”

With those words, Hyunseong took out a pre-purchased elixir and handed it to the two of them.

“Try it.”

“Are you going to eat this?”

Hyunseong’s mother asked with a puzzled expression.

“Eat it, it’s so precious.”

Her father was beside her.

“I will eat first.”

Hyunseong’s older sister, Hyeon-ji Choi, picked up her dust elixir and put it in her mouth.

“uh?”

Choi Hyun-ji’s expression turned into surprise.

“What is this?”

Choi Hyun-ji asked Hyunseong.

“Eat some more.”

At Hyunseong’s words, Choi Hyun-ji quickly ate the elixir.

“amazing!”

Choi Hyun-ji couldn’t help but be astonished to see her transformed body.

When she ate the elixir, the more she ate, the more her body shape changed.

As she passed her mid-30s, her skin, which had lost her elasticity, became firmer, and her flabby skin disappeared.

Again, energy ran through her body.

“Mom, I think this is great. Eat quickly.”

At Choi Hyun-ji’s words, Ms. Park Mi-sook put on a worried expression.

“If it’s that good, isn’t it very expensive?”

Choi Hyeon-ji’s expression turned into absurdity.

“My mother’s son, Hyunseong, is one of the richest men in the world. So don’t worry, just eat.”

At the words of local Choi, Misook Park nodded her head and swallowed her elixir.

“Ah!”

A groan burst out of her mouth as she bowed.

“Eat more.”

At Hyunseong’s words, his mother, Misook Park, ate the elixir without hesitation.

“This is really good. It feels like 20 years younger.”

It wasn’t just a simple feeling.

The outward appearance also looked younger than 20 years, if not at least 10 years.

Also, her always heavy body was as light as when she was a teenage girl.

No, even then, my body wasn’t that light and refreshing.
