CHAPTER 132: CHAPTER 132: ANOTHER LOTTERY?

"Um."

Su Yi, who was standing to the side, had been quite interested at first. But after hearing the latter half of the explanation, she couldn’t help muttering, "At those odds, you don’t actually want to give it away, do you?"

Hearing her words, the viewers in the livestream chat couldn’t help but complain as well.

"Exactly! The odds are even worse than winning the lottery! The grand prize for the lottery only requires seven numbers."

"Yeah, the jackpot for the Double-Color Ball lottery is one in 21.42 million."

"Isn’t this way more terrifying? You also need the numbers to be in the exact same sequence. Are the odds one in a hundred million?"

"Jeez, if someone actually won this, they’d have to be the chosen one."

"But why... do I have this feeling that Summer God Hao could actually win it?"

Hearing Su Yi’s words, Qin Fen felt somewhat embarrassed. The whole thing was, admittedly, just a publicity stunt. Of course, that wasn’t to say it was impossible. After all, if someone really won, they couldn’t just refuse to give away a car worth at least a hundred thousand yuan.

However, Xia Liang didn’t care at all.

"Fine! Let’s give it a try! Do you have a car in the 200,000 yuan price range? Get me one. I’m ready to try my luck at the prize draw."

"Um."

Clearly, Xia Liang’s casual mention of that amount for a car made Qin Fen pause for a moment, but he quickly concealed his surprise. After all, Xia Tian’s car was the real deal and couldn’t be faked. Perhaps this gentleman just wants to have some fun with the prize draw.

The thought of Xia Liang spending 200,000 yuan for a single attempt at the draw made Qin Fen shake his head. The rich sure have their own way of having fun.

Naturally, there were no cars at that price point in the Lamborghini display area. Qin Fen led Xia Liang over to the Audi section.

There, they saw a man weighing over two hundred pounds, dressed in a suit, with a shiny, greasy face.

"Old Qin, aren’t things busy in your section? What brings you over to mine? Eh, and who are these two?" Anyone Qin Fen personally brings over must be wealthy. The chubby manager quickly shot Qin Fen a meaningful look, silently urging him for an introduction.

The two had a good private relationship, so Qin Fen knew his friend wouldn’t try to set him up for failure. He made the introductions immediately. "This is Mister Xia and Miss Su. They’re here to look at some cars."

Look at cars?

Hearing this, the manager’s eyes lit up instantly. His smile grew even more radiant as he extended a hand. "Mister Xia, Miss Su, a pleasure to meet you. I’m the manager of the Mercedes-Benz showroom. My name is Li Chi."

"Hm," Xia Liang returned the handshake with a nod and said casually, "Do you have any cars here in the 200,000 yuan price range?"

"Ah? Yes, yes, we do." Li Chi was a bit puzzled at first, but he quickly put on a professional air and began his pitch. "For 200,000 yuan, Mister Xia, I’d recommend the Audi A3L. This car..."

A sale’s a sale. Just as Li Chi was preparing to persuade Xia Liang with his much-vaunted professional knowledge, he saw the man wave his hand dismissively.

"No need to explain. I’ll take this one. Ring it up."

Everyone present was stunned into silence.

Did I hear him correctly? Li Chi was dumbfounded. Ordinary people would at least look the car over, then maybe sit inside for a test drive. But this gentleman was ready to pay before the introduction was even finished. Good grief, aren’t you even going to take a single look?

It wasn’t just him; the livestream chat felt the same way.

"Damn! Is... is this how a God of Wealth buys a car?"

"Do all Gods of Wealth buy cars like this?"

"My goodness! Is he buying a car or a head of cabbage?"

"Bro, you’d at least glance at the cabbage before buying it!"

"Summer God Hao is just doing this for the prize draw, so of course, the faster, the better."

"Is this an all-or-nothing gamble?"

"Summer God Hao, buy one for 100,000! That way, you can at least get two draws!"

Snapping back to reality, Li Chi glanced at Qin Fen. He didn’t immediately process the payment. After all, Xia Liang was Qin Fen’s guest, and he couldn’t let him make such a rash decision. He steeled himself and said, "How about this, Mister Xia... why don’t we take a look at it first before you decide?"

Now everyone was stunned again. What was wrong with the world? The customer was incredibly decisive, while the salesperson was the one hesitating.

Xia Liang was also a little surprised. "No need. I’m just buying it for the lottery ticket."

Huh... Buying it for the lottery ticket? Bought it just for fun. So that’s how it is! Hearing Xia Liang’s confirmation, Qin Fen couldn’t help but feel a wave of superiority.

A similar sentiment flooded the livestream, with the chat exploding with comments like, "I’m speechless..."

Since Xia Liang had made himself clear, Li Chi certainly wasn’t going to insist. He immediately took Xia Liang to sign the contract and process the payment.

Ten minutes later, everything was settled. Throughout the entire process, Xia Liang hadn’t glanced at the car, not even once.

The group arrived at the prize draw stage, just as another customer who had just bought a car was taking his turn. The man on stage slammed the button, and instantly, the eight digits on the big screen began to spin wildly.

At this point, many eyes in the crowd turned to the screen to see what prize the middle-aged man would win. However, most knew he wasn’t likely to win a major prize. They were just watching to see if he could snag one of the smaller rewards offered to those on stage. Combinations of identical numbers, like 8888 or 6666, could also win something, though they were only minor prizes.

CLICK.

The man hit the button again, and the numbers on the screen instantly froze.

32888872

A buzz went through the crowd.

"Holy shit! Four eights? I think that’s the third-place prize!"

"Damn, that’s awesome! I’ve been watching all day, and this is the biggest prize I’ve seen!"

"I remember the third-place prize is an Alienware computer!"

"That’s badass!"

Su Yi couldn’t help but voice her envy. "Wow, he’s so lucky! He actually drew the third-place prize. An Alienware computer has to be worth tens of thousands of yuan."

"Just third place?" Xia Liang waved his hand with an air of supreme confidence. "Watch me. I’m aiming for first place."

Although Qin Fen and Li Chi weren’t optimistic, they played along. "Well then, we wish Mister Xia the best of luck!"

"Thanks for the kind words!" With that, Xia Liang stepped forward.

Considering Xia Liang’s outrageous luck earlier, maybe he really could win the grand prize. Thinking this, Su Yi blurted out, not caring who was listening, "Go for it, Xia Liang! Win the first-place prize!"

"Hahaha."

Hearing this, several people in the crowd chuckled lightly, but there was no mockery in their laughter. After all, every single person who stepped up to that stage had entertained the same thought: Wouldn’t it be amazing to win first place?

Xia Liang walked onto the platform and handed his raffle voucher to the host. The host glanced at it, then spoke into the microphone with a wide smile. "Alright! We have another friend joining us for the prize draw! Will he be as lucky as our previous contestant? Let’s wait and see!"

He then gestured for Xia Liang to press the button.

Xia Liang didn’t waste any time. He pressed it lightly.

In that instant, many people’s hearts pounded with anticipation. The majority of them, naturally, were the viewers in Su Yi’s livestream. On one hand, they secretly hoped he wouldn’t win. On the other, they desperately wanted to see him create a miracle.

Seeing Su Yi holding her breath with tension, Qin Fen and Li Chi exchanged a look. Of course, we don’t believe he can actually win. We’re just wondering what he’ll do after he loses. Will he keep buying cars for the prize draw, or will he go find a car he actually likes? The thought set their minds racing.

Li Chi even started to wonder, If Xia Liang gets carried away, would he actually buy a hundred Audi A3Ls?
