Chapter 94

Dusk.

Jiang Li pushed out the electric tricycle that he had used to set up the stall before, and put the things he had prepared on the tricycle. The remaining things were packed into other magic backpacks. Finally, he put two specially made boxes on the tricycle and drove the electric tricycle towards the central square.

In the central square, neon lights were hung everywhere, and the gorgeous ice sculptures reflected colorful arcs of light. Behind each small stall, the stall owners put out their goods one after another, and the residents who arrived early were browsing. In the central open space, there were even banners for Tetris and Snake Battles, and many people were holding game consoles and jumping for a try.

When Jiang Li arrived, many people gathered around him before he even put out his things.

"Boss Jiang Li, what are you going to sell today?"

"Are you going to sell mixed-grain pancakes again? The pancakes you sold last year were so delicious!"

"I heard from my cousin who is a clerk in the City Lord's Mansion that Mr. Jiang Li doesn't seem to be selling food during this year's Winter Snow Festival, but is setting up a game."

"Game?"

Everyone looked at each other, and some people raised the game console in their hands with interest: "What game is it? Will it be as fun as Tetris?"

"But... this game doesn't even require a game console?"

Jiang Li raised his staff, and a simple metal storage rack was assembled at the back of the stall. The space backpack on the car was opened, and the goods stored in it flew out one after another and placed themselves in the appropriate positions.

Familiar magic potions with various effects, strange magic props, gorgeous jewelry, weapons and tools made by dwarves, a bicycle parked next to the counter, and the most familiar thing is the various commodities sold in the supermarket, including food and daily necessities, and various small appliances.

There are too many unfamiliar things. When a teddy bear doll as tall as a person flew out of the magic backpack, the children surrounding the stalls all shouted with joy.

Looking at these neatly arranged things, people are more confused. Is this really not a supermarket branch, but a game?

After filling the shelves, he also placed large items at the foot of the surroundings. Jiang Li opened the book on magic circles and arranged several anti-magic magic circles near the stall according to the instructions. Finally, under everyone's gaze, he carried two heavy boxes onto the table. The boxes were covered, and there was a dark hole at the top, about the size of a hand.

Just in case, he also cast a few anti-cheating magic spells on the boxes.

The light bulbs circled the stall and lit up the surroundings. The banner automatically flew up and tied itself above the stall. Everyone looked up and saw three big words written on the banner in the common language of the mainland - Scratch-off!

"Scratch-off?"

"What is that?"

"Is that the name of the game?"

"What game can use these products?"

The long-awaited people couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Jiang Li, what is a scratch-off?"

Jiang Li replied with a smile: "The rules are very simple, just draw a piece of paper from the box, scratch out something on it, and you can get the corresponding prize. One silver coin for one chance to draw a prize."

"So simple?"

Jiang Li nodded: "It's that simple."

Someone pointed to an expensive gemstone necklace on the shelf and asked: "If I only draw once and win, will I get the necklace?"

"Of course." Jiang Li said generously: "Any product here, as long as you can win it, even if you only spend one silver coin, it will belong to you. Please note that I have set up a magic circle here. You are not allowed to use magic or any props to cheat. Once discovered, you will be disqualified."

The crowd burst into laughter: "What?! Only one silver coin?!"

"You can buy expensive magic props with one silver coin?! I've seen it in a magic shop, and that prop costs one hundred gold coins!"

"You can buy a product that originally costs 100 gold coins for just one silver coin?!"

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more excited and talking more and more outrageous, Jiang Li had to raise his voice to remind them: "It's a lottery! You can only get it if you win! Not everyone can win. In addition to these prizes, there are many, many consolation prizes."

"Most of the prizes only have one, and if you lose them, you lose them." Jiang Li looked around: "So, who wants to be the first?"

Everyone raised their wallets: "Me!"

"I'll go first!"

Bang, a coin was thrown into the cash box first, and the cash box said the amount: "One silver coin."

The fastest one was an adventurer, who rubbed his hands nervously and asked: "What should I do?"

Jiang Li pointed out the location of the lottery box for him: "Just draw a card from it."

Under everyone's attention, the adventurer put his hand into the hole of the lottery box. He whispered: "I want the weapon made by Eugene, I want the weapon made by Eugene..." as if to bless himself with luck.

The adventurer soon felt a pile of paper, so many that he could hardly move them. He tried to sneak in and grab a handful, but when he clasped his hands together, the extra paper slipped through his fingers like a slippery goldfish. The adventurer

took out the only remaining piece of paper. He looked down and saw only a long gray strip on it. He wondered, "What is this?"

Jiang Li picked up the card scratching tool and handed it to him: "Scratch it off."

The adventurer scratched off the coating as he said, and the words appeared in front of him: "This is... cold medicine?!"

Jiang Li said in surprise: "Wow, you are so lucky."

God knows, although he put out a lot of prizes, he also put out many times more thank you for participating. It was really lucky to win the first time.

Jiang Li took the cold medicine from the shelf and handed it over.

The adventurer looked at the cold medicine in his hand with suspicion. He gritted his teeth, opened it and drank it all. The familiar taste of horror soon spread from the tip of his tongue. With his face pale and steam coming out of his head, the adventurer said in shock: "It's real!"

Jiang Li: "..."

Jiang Li said depressedly: "Of course it's real, I bought it from Morton's Pharmacy. Have I ever sold fakes?"

No, but...but he only spent one silver coin!

In Morton's Pharmacy, such a cold medicine would cost twenty silver coins.

He only spent one silver coin, and with this scratch-off, he got a product worth twenty silver coins!

Not only the adventurer who drew the lottery, but all the onlookers were stunned.

Some of the prizes that Jiang Li put into the lottery box were native products of the alien world, so everyone was very clear about the value of these products. The clearer they were, the more shocked they were. What

if what they drew was not cold medicine, but other products on the shelf?

Those magic props, jewelry, or home appliances?

They only spent one silver coin, but they could draw something several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds or thousands of times the value? Can those magic props worth hundreds of gold coins also be obtained by spending one silver coin? !

What kind of game is this?

It's like Mr. Jiang Li is doing charity!

The adventurer who started the lottery quickly took out the second silver coin and threw it into the safe: "I want to draw again!"

Silver coins were thrown in one after another.

"I want to draw too!"

"I want to draw too!"

"..."

Soon, the second scratch card was also scratched.

The person who drew the lottery looked down at the words above: "Thank you for participating?"

Jiang Li grabbed a mint candy from the bag beside him and gave it to him as a consolation prize for participating. "Sorry, it looks like your luck isn't very good."

"..."

The person who drew the lottery looked at the other people who won prizes around him, then looked up at the precious prizes on the shelf. He gritted his teeth and took out another silver coin: "One more time!"

...

Perhaps because the population has increased a lot this year, the Winter Snow Festival in Dorey City is particularly lively this year, and Lord Dean also decided to open the city gates at night to welcome people from other cities and other races to participate. Of course, the magic circle at the city gate was not removed, and the patrol guards became more strict to prevent dangerous demons from sneaking in.

Nekomis skillfully sealed himself, wrapped in a black robe and blended into the crowd entering the city.

There was a detection magic array, and the black dragon who refused to accept the purification magic was still waiting outside the city.

It was his first time to participate in a human festival. Neon lights were all over the city. Ice sculptures, colorful flags, and decorations with the characteristics of Duolei City were hung all over the city. Not long after entering the city gate, he saw the vendors setting up stalls. The closer to the central square, the more lively it was.

Nekomis didn't come early. When he arrived, the central square was already full of people. There was a long line in front of each stall. It was bustling and noisy.

The devil walked through the crowd, and soon, he found his destination in front of a crowded stall.

Jiang Li's booth was the most popular booth in the entire winter snow festival. Everyone was crazy about this game called scratch cards. People threw silver or gold coins and rushed to the lottery box to take out the scratch cards. Every time someone won a high-value prize on the shelf, people would be more enthusiastic.

Can't stop! Can't stop at all!

There are so many lucky cases in front of us, not to mention so many people drawing together. From time to time, other people's exclamations will ring in my ears: "I won! I won!" Watching others take away precious prizes, in such an atmosphere, everyone is reluctant to put down the scratch cards in their hands.

Maybe the next lucky person will be me?

Especially the prizes prepared by Jiang Li are really rich, not just pretentious, but really valuable and rich in variety. Not long ago, he asked many people for their opinions, and the answers he received at that time are now on the shelf.

Seeing your wish in front of you, and only one silver coin away, who can resist being tempted?

What if you win next time?

There are also many acquaintances crowded in front of the stall.

Augustus, who had just sneaked out of the banquet at the City Lord's Mansion, was wearing a formal suit and was taking the time to scrape the coating. He complained while scraping: "Jiang Li, can't you just sell the skateboard to me directly?"

Jiang Li: "Sorry, this is the rule of the game."

Augustus: "But, but..." But he really couldn't scratch it!

Too cunning, Jiang Li is really too cunning!

The prizes are specially placed on the shelf for everyone to see. When there is something you want but can't buy, you can only choose to join in. But even if you scratch the prize, you can't stop, because the one you scratch may not be the one you want.

Scratch cards piled up like snowflakes at Augustus' feet, but the skateboard he wanted was still on the shelf, always one silver coin away from him.

Augustus muttered, "With only one silver coin, you can win a prize worth hundreds of gold coins. Jiang Li, you really won't lose money this way?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Isn't today a holiday? It only happens once a year."

Moreover, he really put a lot of thanks for participating.

The guard next to him reminded, "Young Lord, time is running out."

Augustus could only stop with hatred.

He took a deep look at the skateboard, picked up the prize he had won before, and squeezed out of the crowd with regret.

On the other side, Messenner also stopped.

He handed the stack of cards he had scratched out to Jiang Li: "Potatoes."

Jiang Li put a large amount of "a bag of potato chips" in the prize, which was only higher than "Thank you for participating". There were also small snacks of the same type such as "a bag of spicy strips".

After counting the number of cards, he put the corresponding number of snacks in a large shopping bag and handed it to the silver-haired elf.

After confirming the number was correct, Messenner squeezed out of the crowd with an empty pocket and a large bag of snacks.

"Teacher, are you going home?" Jiang Li called him: "Is there too many people here?" Elves don't like crowded places.

Messenner shook his head coldly: "No, I'm going to set up a stall."

"Set up a stall?"

The silver-haired elf said seriously: "Selling vegetables."

Jiang Li: "..."

He watched the silver-haired elf's back disappear in the crowd until a customer shouted: "Mr. Jiang Li, I won!" Jiang Li retracted his gaze.

He went to help the customer get the prize and said: "Congratulations."

The customer took the prize and left the stall happily without any lingering.

"Mr. Jiang Li, are these prizes really in there?" Irene couldn't help asking while holding

a mint in her mouth, "The best I can get so far is a piece of soap, and the rest are just thanks for participating." Before Jiang Li could answer, Chris next to him retorted while holding a mint in his mouth, "Of course they are in there. Someone just scraped out a magic item. Irene, your luck is just too bad."

Irene: "Don't blame me, Chris. It's the same for you. The best you can get is just a bottle of antidote!"

Chris: "I thought there would be mixed-grain pancakes today, but this scratch-off is also fun... Alas, thank you for participating again."

Jiang Li handed over a mint skillfully.

Their companions stopped the two people who couldn't stop: "Forget it, forget it, Chris, Irene, if this goes on, we won't have enough money to buy other things."

Irene said madly: "Damn it! I want that electric hot pot!"

"We can save some money and buy it later..."

Chris and his companions said as they walked away.

There are many people like them. Although they really want the prizes on the shelf, they are short of money. The money in their pockets is not enough to support them to scratch endlessly, so they can only invest the limited money in other places.

After walking out, they were shocked to find that they only stayed at the scratch-off booth for a while, but the money was lost at a terrifying speed!

Of course, after they left, more people approached the scratch card booth.

Avoiding the young city lord of Dolei City who was returning to the city lord's mansion, bypassing the silver-haired elf's booth, and passing by Chris and others, the demon king Nekomus walked through the crowd and stood in front of the scratch card booth.

He stood aside and watched for a while, and after understanding the rules of the game, his eyes fell on the shelf behind Jiang Li. Countless expensive prizes were placed on it, and under the light, they seemed to be endowed with a decadent glow.

For Nekomus, such a game was not as exciting and interesting as the game machine. Looking at the enthusiastic faces of the humans around him, he only felt disappointed. It was

a low-level means of temptation. I didn't expect the owner of the supermarket to play such a trick.

But soon, the demon king's eyes fixed on a decoration.

It was a decorative sculpture that Jiang Li bought from Earth. The reason why it was included in the prizes was because it had a strong otherworldly style - it was a dragon. The

jagged horns, the ferocious face, the smooth lines of the body, not only the strong physique, but also every scale on the back was incredibly delicate. It opened its mouth slightly, spread its wings behind it, and had an extraordinary momentum. Its whole body was as dark as the night, full of mystery. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the appearance of this sculpture was very much like a giant dragon from another world.

In the eyes of the demon king, it also looked very much like his own pet.

Nekomis looked at the sculpture and quickly made up his mind.

He took a step forward and squeezed into the crowded crowd: "I..."

"What, what is that?!" A clamorous voice interrupted.

Nekomos subconsciously lowered the brim of his hood and looked sideways calmly. A guy with red hair and golden eyes stood not far away, exuding a familiar strong dragon smell with a breath of fire.

Serego was deeply fascinated by the exquisitely crafted dragon sculpture.

The heroic posture and beautiful lines, although no one knew what material it was made of, were vivid and lifelike, almost a miniature version of its original prototype.

What a lifelike sculpture! Even the most skilled craftsmen can only use stone when carving. Even if they can carve out the charm of a dragon, they cannot create the color and texture of dragon scales like the sculpture in front of you.

The only drawback is that it is not a red dragon.

But this is not important.

Serego looked at the dragon sculpture with fascination: "I want to buy this!"

Jiang Li said skillfully: "Sorry, Mr. Serego, you have to win the lottery to get it."

"Lottery? So troublesome?" Serego frowned: "Can't I just buy it directly?"

Jiang Li: "Sorry, no."

Serego: "Can't I add money?!"

Jiang Li: "Yes."

Serego muttered a few words, and finally said reluctantly: "Then I want to change to a red dragon. Hey, Jiang Li, there are no black dragons in Dore City. I am red!"

Jiang Li: "Sorry, there is only one of this kind of sculpture, and there is no color option."

Only one?

A gold coin fell into the cash box first.

The guest in black robe said calmly: "I'll take 100 first."
