Chapter 46 Old Man Stickers



In the restaurant, the two of them ate in silence. Or rather, they were silent only in words, because during the meal, although Lin Xi said nothing, her overly lively big eyes were always roaming around Chen Chu.

Chen Chu sighed: "If there is anything I want to ask you, just ask, but I may not tell you."

"..."Lin Yan.

She was just happy about the first half of the sentence, but the second half made her feel cold all over.

Chen Chu was immediately amused by Lin Ping's resentful expression.

"Actually, I don't want to gossip about you. I'm just worried about myself." Lin Xi put down her chopsticks and sighed.

Chen Chu glanced at her and thought, isn't your forced worrying too obvious? But he still cooperated and said, "What are you worried about?"

"I'm worried that I'll end up in the Soul Locking Tower." Lin Yan didn't wait for Chen Chu to speak, and said directly, "Don't think I'm worrying for no reason. You know my luck. If the space door really opens, I will definitely be swallowed up."

Chen Chu frowned. He really had no right to question Lin Xi's bad luck. If the Soul Locking Tower really opened in the imperial capital, the probability of Lin Xi going in was really high.

"The conference lasts for three days, but we can actually leave after two days." Chen Chu also put down his chopsticks and thought seriously, "The third day of the conference is an exchange meeting for the official organization's internal personnel. It is mainly for everyone to exchange some materials or intelligence that are not sold in the conference. We don't need to participate. After the auction tomorrow, we can leave directly."

"Is the Soul Locking Tower really going to be opened?!" Seeing Chen Chu's serious analysis, Lin suddenly panicked. She said she was afraid that she would enter the Soul Locking Tower in order to find a way to get some gossip about Senior Chen Chu, but she didn't really want to go in.

Chen Chu saw that the girl's face had turned pale with fear and she could no longer hold it back. He smiled and said, "I was kidding you. The headquarters has scheduled the exchange conference at this time, which means that no sub-space will be opened in the imperial capital within these three days. Otherwise, if so many people were swallowed in at once, even an S-level sub-space would not be able to handle it."

"That's good." Lin Xi was frightened and patted her chest to calm herself. This was an S-level sub-space, she would be dead if she went in... Wait, why did it feel a little wrong? Lin Xi looked up at Chen Chu, but saw that someone had picked up the chopsticks again and was concentrating on eating.

Are you trying to scare her on purpose?

When Lin came to her senses, she felt disappointed, but there was nothing she could do. She could only turn her anger into appetite and eat a big meal.

The next day.

The auction was held on the 20th floor of the hotel at 10 a.m. Lin and Chen Chu arrived at the entrance of the venue half an hour in advance. Before they even reached the entrance, Lin saw a lot of people gathered at the entrance. Out of curiosity, Lin also went over, but as soon as she approached, the lottery box began to shake.

[Liang Han, male, 29 years old, perfectly won the remaining 5% in a lottery box with a 95% winning rate.]

95% of the winning rate is not winning, this is too unlucky, it can compete with her. However, who holds a lottery with such a high winning rate?

While Lin was sighing, several people finished the lottery one after another.

"Look, what did you win?" A 95% winning rate is roughly equivalent to a 100% chance of winning, so when people see someone coming to participate in the lottery, they ask what they won instead of whether they won or not.

"One hundred wood energy stones."

"I have more than you, one hundred and fifty fire energy stones."

"Liang Han, what about you?" someone asked the third person who had been silent for a long time after the prize was drawn.

"...Thank you for your participation." Liang Han's face was dark.

"Hahaha..." The crowd burst into laughter.

"No way, you can't even win with a 95% chance of winning. This is too bad. You are not the chief."

"Go, go, go, stay away from me, and don't pass on your bad luck to me."

"Why did your department send you to the auction? Hurry up and get someone else to go, or you won't be able to buy anything."

"Get lost!" Liang Han was so angry that he wanted to curse, "Does your lottery box really have a 95% winning rate?"

"Liang Han, you can't blame the organizers for your bad luck. At least fifty people have been drawn here just now, and you are the only one who didn't win a prize." And this lottery box was originally used by the organizer to warm up the auction, so the winning rate is so high. To put it bluntly, it is to give a small gift to each superpower who comes to participate in the auction.

"That's not right. With a 95% winning rate, there must be two people out of the fifty who won't win," Liang Han said unwillingly.

"Are you looking for unlucky teammates? Give up. Those who can come to our conference are all lucky ones from various departments. Unlucky people like you are rare among thousands. Did you offend a curser before you came here and get cursed?"

"You are so vicious. You are still looking for a non-African teammate. Who is willing to be your teammate?"

Some things, how should I put it, may not be a big deal at first, but once there are a few people adding fuel to the fire, it suddenly becomes a big deal.

"You want to hold me back, right? Fine! I'll wait here. I don't believe I can't find the second 5%. Whoever wins the same 5% as me, thank you for participating. I will personally give him 200 energy stones." Liang Han was filled with enthusiasm and vowed to find a non-African like himself to prove that he was not the most unlucky one.

"Only 200 energy stones, that's too little. If it were 2,000, I would go find a curser to curse me right now so that I can be your teammate for once." Someone said.

"Roll, roll, roll! How can the curses cast by the curser be the same?" Liang Han was a little reckless, but he was not stupid.

"That's difficult."

"I, I, I want to enter the lottery!" Lin Yan couldn't hold back any longer after hearing this. She kept raising her hands behind the crowd, almost jumping up. She originally wanted to try to find Liang Han in the crowd to complete the task of occupying the loot, but before she found him, the prize was drawn, so she couldn't complete the task of occupying the loot in time and was deducted a point of merit. Just when she was feeling upset, she heard Liang Han say that he would give her 200 energy stones...

Yes, the person Liang Han was talking about was her. Lin Xi was so confident in her luck that she was resurrected in an instant.

Chen Chu came here with Lin An, so he naturally noticed what happened near the lottery box just now. Suddenly seeing Lin An become extremely excited, he was slightly stunned at first, and then seemed to understand something. The smile on Qingjun's face could no longer be concealed, and he followed Lin An silently and squeezed through the crowd.

"Do you have an invitation to the auction?" the staff in charge of the lottery reminded, "Only those with special abilities who come to the auction are eligible to participate in the lottery."

The Special Power Material Exchange Conference, departments that can participate in the high-end material auction on the second day need to meet one of the following two conditions. First, in yesterday's material purchase, the points spent by the department must reach more than 3 million. Second, there must be an S-level special power in the department to participate in the conference.

Only if you meet any of the above conditions can you get the invitation letter for the auction.

"Here." Before Lin Yan could say anything, Chen Chu handed over his invitation. Chen Chu was an S-class psychic, so the organizers of the conference sent the invitation directly to his room.

When the staff saw Chen Chu's invitation, they were surprised and admired, and then they said politely, "You two have a chance to participate in the lottery. The winning rate of this lottery is 95%. 99% of the prizes are energy stones, and 1% of the prizes are small fire energy crystals. They have not been drawn yet."

In short, 95% of the people who came to the lottery could get energy stones as prizes, but the quantity varied slightly. But to be honest, everyone who could come to the auction would have energy stones (except Lin Xi), so the only prize that was a bit attractive was the fire energy crystal.

"Good luck to both of you." The staff member indicated that they could start drawing the lottery.

Lin Xi glanced at Chen Chu.

"You draw first!" Chen Chu let Lin Yan draw first.

Lin Yu didn't hesitate to reach in and randomly picked one out. Chen Chu waited until Lin Yu finished drawing, then reached in and randomly picked one out as well.

"Did you win?" Liang Han looked at the two of them excitedly.

"Liang Han, what are you so excited about? It can't be...Thank you for participating?!" The tone of the person who spoke suddenly changed, because he saw the words "Thank you for participating" clearly written on the slip of paper that the girl who had just won the lottery unfolded.

Oh my god, this is possible? Did Liang Han's luck change, or did he suddenly become unlucky?

There was an eerie silence in the field for a moment, followed by Liang Han's excited shout: "I told you, I can't be the only one with bad luck. Look, isn't there someone else who is as unlucky as me?"

The only two calm people in the scene were probably Lin Xi and Chen Chu.

Lin Xi looked as if she hadn’t expected it: I really lived up to my luck value of -99.

Chen Chu's emotions were a little complicated under his expression: Lin Xi had bad luck, but the amazing thing was that she not only accepted it calmly, but also learned how to use it. She had a really good attitude.

After Liang Han finished shouting, he realized belatedly that his behavior was inappropriate. It was bad enough that the girl didn't win the prize, but he was still so excited. It was really inappropriate.

"I'm sorry, I just..."

"It doesn't matter. Does what you just said still count?" Lin Wen interrupted the man and asked with bright eyes.

"ha?"

"200 energy stones." Lin Xi reminded.

"Yes, of course." He had just said this, how could he forget it?

"Then if you give me the energy stone, I will be considered a winner. Thank you, you are such a good person." Lin Xi's thanks came from the bottom of her heart and were the most genuine. The strong emotion made the tall and burly man on the opposite side feel a little embarrassed.

"No." Liang Han took out 200 energy stones from his space props in a daze and gave them to Lin Yan happily. It was strange, he didn't win the lottery, but he still gave away 200 energy stones, why was he so happy?

Lin Yu collected the energy stone and then turned back to ask Chen Chu: "Senior, how many energy stones did you get?"

Chen Chu then remembered to look at the note he had drawn. He opened his palm, unfolded the paper, glanced at the words on it, his eyes slightly stunned, and then handed the note to the staff.

The staff exclaimed in surprise: "Fire energy crystal?!"

Lin Xian was immediately envious: "How come we are in the same branch but have such a huge difference in luck?"

"See, see, bad luck is not contagious." Seeing this, Liang Han excitedly went to catch the colleague who had just avoided him for fear of being infected with bad luck.

His colleague rolled his eyes and thought, "Idiot, I was just joking with you, but you took it so seriously."

The fire energy crystal was drawn, so the lottery lost its appeal. In addition, the auction was about to start, so the crowd quickly dispersed. Lin Xian walked into the venue, took a look, and couldn't help but sigh silently, an auction is an auction, the specifications are different.

The auction was completely different from the market stall layout in the auditorium yesterday. The layout of the auction was much more high-end. In the center of the venue, next to each chair was a small round table covered with a pure white tablecloth and placed with various fruit snacks. As long as someone sat down on a chair in the venue, a waiter would come over and pour wine, just like a banquet.

"We're located over there." Chen Chu pointed to the center of the venue and walked over with Lin Xi.

"Chen Chu." Tang Lanyue spotted Chen Chu when passing the third row.

When Chen Chu saw her, he just nodded lightly and continued walking forward without stopping until he sat in his seat, never looking back.

However, Tang Lanyue's gaze was always following Chen Chu, and she was reluctant to look away.

"Yueyue, the auction will start soon." Li Jiamu glanced at Chen Chu in the distance and reminded Tang Lanyue in a low voice, with a dim light in his eyes.

Tang Lanyue then withdrew her gaze and stared at the auction catalog in her hand with a somewhat lonely look, but from time to time, her eyes would involuntarily glance back again.

In the back row, the waiter poured red wine for the two people who had just sat down, and just as he stood up to leave, Lin moved her wine glass, put her elbows on the table and walked over, asking, "Senior, have you always been so lucky?"

Chen Chu looked at the envy in Lin Yan's eyes and decided not to provoke this unlucky girl. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. I rarely participate in lotteries. Maybe I just had better luck today."

“That’s enough!”

"Hmm?" Chen Chu looked at the girl in confusion. Enough, what is enough?

"Senior, can you help me with a small task that will only take up a little of your time?" Lin Yan looked at Chen Chu hopefully.

Chen Chugang picked up a black grape from the fruit plate and was caught off guard by the girl's wet eyes. Suddenly he couldn't bear to eat it. He looked away, put down the grape in his hand, picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite.

"What help?" Chen Chu asked.

"Wait a moment." After getting Chen Chu's reply, Lin Xi immediately turned around and started communicating with the system.

"System, I want to draw a prize." Yes, Lin Yu wanted to draw a prize, and she wanted to borrow Chen Chu's good luck to help her draw a prize. This idea came to her mind the moment Chen Chu drew the energy crystal, and once this idea came to her mind, she could not get rid of it.

During the two days of occupying the trunks in the amusement park, Lin Xi's merit points exceeded 300 points again, of which 166 points were deducted for repairing the ruler, 2 points were deducted for the system operation in the past two days, and an additional 3 points were deducted for the failure of Tang Lanyue, Li Jiamu and Liang Han's occupying the trunks just now. Lin Xi now has 151 points of merit points left, which is just enough for her to draw a prize without being too embarrassed.

Lin had actually wanted to participate in the lottery a long time ago, but due to her bad luck, she had never dared to do it, fearing that she would draw a thank you for participating again, wasting 99 merit points. So she wanted to wait until she had accumulated more merit points before doing the lottery together, so that maybe she could win by quantity, for example, if she drew it more than ten times in a row, she would win once.

But it’s different for someone else, such as Mr. Chen Chu from Jinli today.

After the system mall changed to the lottery mode again, Lin Yu turned back and faced Chen Chu. Then, under the other party's surprised gaze, she gestured with her hands and said, "Senior, suppose there is a huge turntable in front of you with many prizes. Which one would you choose?"

Chen Chu listened to Lin's words in silence and understood her gestures. But what was he doing? Was he asking him for help just to do something childish like this?

"You can pick any one, right here, it's this big circle." Lin was afraid that Chen Chu would point to the wrong place, so she pointed her hands around the lottery ticket and made another circle.

Chen Chu could see that Lin Xi was serious.

Although he didn't know why Lin Xi wanted to do this, he knew that the girl would be disappointed after being rejected, and would even be disappointed for a long time. Compared to just clicking casually to get by and ending the matter immediately, Chen Chu decisively chose the latter.

"This one." Chen Chu randomly pointed at one within the range that Lin Nan was pointing at.

Lin Ping had been prepared for a long time. After seeing Chen Chu's choice, she acted decisively and directly clicked on the position where Chen Chu clicked. The speed was so fast that Chen Chu had no time to react.

"Congratulations to the host, you have won item No. 015, the old man sticker. Please go to the inventory to check the product properties."

"YES!" Lin Xi clenched her fist excitedly. She really did absorb some good luck.

The heat from his fingertips startled Chen Chu. He looked at Lin Yan, but saw the girl suddenly clench her fist in excitement. She seemed to be happy for something and didn't notice anything at all. Was it an accident? Chen Chu stroked his fingers and unconsciously reached for another piece of cold watermelon.

Lin Xi didn't realize that the moment her fingertips touched, her attention was drawn to the system's notification sound. Not just now, but now, Lin Xi was still immersed in the joy of winning the item. Although the name "Old Man Sticker" didn't sound like a powerful item, it was better to have it than not.

Look at the properties, look at the properties, and see which family this old man belongs to. Lin Nan excitedly clicked on the prop properties.

【Name: Old man stickers.】
