Chapter 99
Because it was the weekend, the two of them simply ran to the shopping mall in the city center and decided to eat out.
“I’m craving some barbecue…”
Barbecue at home is too smoky and inconvenient, so it’s just right to eat out.
"Let's go, get a number first."
The barbecue restaurant was doing very good business, so the two of them took a number and sat at the door waiting for a table.
"Hello, sorry to bother you. We're a knowledge and science team, and we're running a quiz challenge. Anyone who answers 10 questions correctly can go to the first floor to participate in our lucky draw. I wonder if you two are interested in joining?"
When Jiang Zhinian heard there was a raffle, he took the flyer handed to him and found that the prizes were very good.
"Shi Ye, there are robot vacuums. Wow, there's also this brand of stroller. Look, the body of the stroller can be removed and used directly as a baby safety carrier. I've read reviews online before."
This baby stroller has no other problems except that it is expensive. Jiang Zhinian has been thinking about it for a long time.
"Yes, we are cooperating with shopping malls for a promotion, so many brands in shopping malls have sponsored us. There is no need to worry about the authenticity of the products. Moreover, we have a 100% chance of winning. The worst prize is a 100 yuan shopping card."
Shi Ye saw the excitement in Jiang Zhinian's eyes and nodded: "Then we will join."
"Okay, but our event will be held in the atrium on the first floor, and it will be broadcast live. Do you mind?"
When Jiang Zhinian heard that it was going to be a live broadcast, he was a little hesitant.
"Wait for me backstage." Shi Ye didn't care. Generally, not many people watched the live broadcasts in shopping malls.
Before their turn came, the two followed the group to the first floor to prepare for the event.
Before going on stage, Jiang Zhinian raised his hands to encourage Shi Ye: "Shi Ye, come on!"
Shi Ye sensed the other party's enthusiasm for the prize, smiled and tapped her forehead with his finger: "Got it."
The questions in the activity were not difficult, but they were very diverse, ranging from history to aerospace. However, Shi Ye usually read a lot of different books, so he could answer some questions that Jiang Zhinian found difficult after just a little thought.
After answering all 10 questions correctly, the host received a reminder from the director to keep everyone for a while, and quickly said, "We actually have a hidden game, with the chance to take home even more prizes. I wonder if you're interested in participating."
Hearing that there were more big prizes, Jiang Zhinian's eyes lit up in the audience.
Shi Ye glanced at her and asked, "What?"
"If you can answer 10 more questions correctly, you can skip the lottery and take away an extra item from all the prizes. But you have to bet on the chance you already have. If you lose, your chance will be gone."
Shi Ye thought of the baby stroller that had been in Jiang Zhinian's shopping cart for a long time and nodded.
"Okay, go ahead."
"Alright, then our mysterious challenge begins. Let's cheer for this brave warrior who takes part in this challenge."
As the competition gets more and more popular, more and more people are watching from the audience.
The director standing by was delighted to see the number of people in the live broadcast room continue to rise.
"I just saw him at the entrance of that barbecue restaurant and recognized him. Isn't he the fox-eared man who went viral online a while ago and then disappeared? Pulling him over to answer questions is really popular."
"I'll tell the host to increase the difficulty. If he continues to answer correctly, we'll give him a bigger reward. He alone will be worth ten people, so we won't lose out."
Looking at the barrage of comments that flashed by, the mall manager was grinning from ear to ear.
"Oh my god, the male god is back."
"I'd say he's a professional influencer. Last time he went to the amusement park, and this time he came to the mall, it was all arranged by someone else."
"Pah, have you ever seen an internet celebrity disappear after becoming an internet sensation? They're just ordinary people, okay?"
"Ahhhh, the idol got it right again. How does he know so much?"
"There's something fishy going on."
The second round of questions ended, and as expected, Shi Ye passed it perfectly. The host wanted to keep him there longer, but Shi Ye politely declined.
"Let's draw the lottery first."
All Jiang Zhinian wanted was a sweeping robot and a baby stroller. If they could draw either of them at once, there would be no need for them to waste time here.
The host thought that the lottery could delay the time anyway, so he didn't force it and just asked the staff to bring up the lottery box.
"Come, let's interview you. What prize would you most like to win?"
"A baby carriage."
"Ah? A baby...stroller?" The host was dumbfounded. The grand prize is a mobile phone worth nearly ten thousand yuan. Don't most people say they want the grand prize? How can a baby stroller worth more than three thousand yuan compare to a mobile phone worth ten thousand yuan?
Shi Ye nodded: "My baby will be born soon, and the stroller will be just right."
As soon as he said this, the barrage of comments was heartbroken.
"Fuck, now I believe he's an amateur. Which internet celebrity would say they have a child?"
"Wow, I'm heartbroken before I even fall in love."
"Dad, Dad, I am your long-lost daughter."
Although Shi Ye said this, strangely enough, the popularity of the live broadcast room increased instead of decreased. Everyone was looking forward to seeing whether Shi Ye could win the baby carriage as he wished.
The exciting moment is about to arrive, Shi Ye's hand reaches into the lottery box...
Jiang Zhinian stared closely at the lottery ticket held between Shi Ye's two fingers, muttering "sweeping robot" and "baby stroller" in his mind.
The host took it and smiled slightly: "The winner is - a stroller. Let us congratulate this future father for getting his wish!"
After saying that, the host handed the lottery ticket to the staff in the audience, indicating that Shi Ye could go and collect it later.
The barrage of comments suddenly became lively.
"Wow, what kind of luck is this? I must be possessed by a koi fish. I wanted a stroller and I actually got one."
"The host didn't even announce the lottery tickets in the end, so I suspect there's something fishy going on."
"I answered the questions based on my own abilities. What's the shady deal? If you have the ability, come on ahead."
"Okay, now that the prize you want most has been drawn, you can choose any prize to take away."
This time it’s the mobile phone’s turn, the host is secretly looking forward to it.
In the end, Shi Ye just said, "A sweeping robot."
"Oh, ok, by the way, we actually have a hidden gameplay. If you can complete all 10 questions again, you can take away two extra prizes..."
Shi Ye took out his phone and looked at it: "No need, our number will be called soon."
The next table at the barbecue restaurant is theirs, and if they exceed their number, their reservation will be invalid.
Ignoring the host's lobbying, Shi Ye nodded to Jiang Zhinian in the audience and turned to leave the stage.
"Leave the prize with them first. We'll come over to claim it after we finish our meal."
Jiang Zhinian's face flushed with excitement, and she threw herself directly into Shi Ye's arms: "Shi Ye, you looked like a shining golden koi just now."
