Chapter 95

"Mr. Nekomus?" Jiang Li noticed the new guest: "You are here to participate in the Winter Snow Festival as well?"

The Demon King nodded.

After he had visited Dore City so many times, the residents of Dore City had long been familiar with him. When the city began to prepare for the Winter Snow Festival, the shop owners of the shopping street mentioned him and invited him to participate.

Jiang Li pushed the lottery box over and motioned for Nekomus to take the scratch card from it. He casually said, "Is there anything you want?"

Nekomus reached into the lottery box and looked straight at the dragon sculpture on the shelf.

Jiang Li turned around and followed his line of sight, and was stunned: "You, you want this sculpture too?"

"Yeah."

Serego on the side raised his head sharply.

Who? Who wants the dragon sculpture?

Who wants to compete with the great holy flame dragon Serego for what he has set his sights on? !

The dragon glared at the black-robed man, his golden eyes filled with flames and anger. The people who were scratching the lottery tickets excitedly felt it and stiffened their bodies. But Nekomus was unmoved. Under the terrifying dragon's might, he quickly took out a scratch card from the lottery box and scratched off the gray coating on it.

"Thank you for participating."

Nekomus threw away the piece of paper and continued to draw the next one.

Serego: "?!"

Serego hurriedly said: "Wait!"

Nekomus did not even raise his head and started to draw the third card.

"Wait!" Serego held his hand: "I want this dragon sculpture, give it to me, you can name your price."

Nekomus struggled out of the dragon's claws and scraped off the coating without changing his expression.

Serego: "Hey!"

"No." Nekomus said: "I want it too."

"I'm negotiating with you..."

"It depends on your ability." The demon king raised his eyes, and his scarlet eyes fell on the red dragon: "I follow the rules set by the supermarket owner, and the rest depends on your luck."

Serego inexplicably felt a little familiar with the black-robed man in front of him, especially the pair of eyes as cold as blood, but the inspiration flashed through his mind quickly and he didn't catch it.

But there was no time to care about anything else. Seeing the man in black robe start to draw the fourth card, Serego hurriedly took out the gold coin, fearing that if he was a step slower, the dragon sculpture would be drawn by someone else.

Boss Jiang Li said, only this one!

This dragon sculpture must be his!

Anyone who participated in the scratch-off game has the opportunity to draw the sculpture. A magic circle to prevent magic is set up nearby, as well as anti-see-through and anti-search anti-cheating magic, so cheating is impossible. Everyone has an equal chance of winning the lottery, and the chance will not increase because of someone's preference. Even, maybe some people don't want the dragon sculpture, but they will be lucky enough to draw it.

In order to prevent their beloved sculpture from falling into the hands of others, Cerego and Nebos each occupied a lottery box and quickly scratched the gray coating on the scratch cards. Soon, the papers piled up at their feet. But unfortunately, the dragon sculpture was still on the shelf and no one got it.

Jiang Li distributed the prizes they had drawn to them, and two more gold coins were thrown into the money box.

The two said in unison: "One hundred more!"

Then they looked at each other and reached into the lottery box in front of them.

Scratch cards fell at their feet one after another, and the other people who came to scratch the prizes around them also changed several batches.

During this year's Winter Snow Festival, Jiang Li's stall was the most popular. The new way of playing had fascinated all the residents of Dolei City. There were always a lot of people in front of the stall, especially when someone won the grand prize. The successful case of winning the grand prize also attracted more passers-by. Everyone who stopped in front of the scratch-off stall couldn't help but empty their pockets.

However, later on, everyone stood aside and watched.

There was no other reason, because the momentum of those two people was too strong.

At their feet, the pieces of paper had piled up like snow, but no one stopped.

As the cards were scratched one by one, the desired dragon sculpture still did not appear. The more they could not get it, the more they wanted it, especially when there was another person competing with them. The desire to win and lose was aroused, and the momentum was almost tangible, making others dare not approach.

In order to deal with the people of the entire city-state, Jiang Li prepared a large number of scratch cards, enough to cope with the whole night. When these scratch cards, which were so huge that they were a little scary, fell on the heads of the two people, the repeated mechanical movements, with the dragon's natural strong physique, Serego felt his wrists numb.

But no, we can't stop!

Looking at the competitors who were scratching the cards quickly beside them, the two people thought in unison in their hearts.

If they stop, then the only dragon sculpture in the world will fall into the hands of the other party!

This must not happen!

Jiang Li stood in the stall, checking the contents of the cards they scratched out, putting away the prizes they drew, and waving his staff to clear the pile of cards at the feet of the two people.

He couldn't help but think whether he had put the card with the dragon sculpture in.

Otherwise, why hasn't anyone drawn it yet?

The dragon sculpture is a handicraft of the earth. If the exchange rate is converted on both sides, it is not even as expensive as those magic props. But at this moment, under the attack of quantity and money, those most expensive magic props have been drawn out. Seeing that the lottery box is getting emptier and emptier, there is still no trace of the dragon sculpture card.

A gold coin was put into the cash box.

"Another hundred." Nekomis said.

Cerego also dropped a gold coin: "Me too!"

Jiang Li: "Okay."

He said, picked up the last card that Cerego scratched, scanned the text on it, took the prize from the shelf and handed it over: "This is your skateboard."

Then he picked up the card that Nekomus had just scratched, and picked up a bottle of magic potion from the shelf: "This is your prize."

Neither of them had the extra energy to take them, and Jiang Li helpfully helped them sort them out, and the magic potion was also placed in the safekeeping potion box to prevent it from being broken.

In order to enrich the prize pool this time, he bought many strange potions from Morton's Pharmacy. The magic potions he put into the prize pool included most of the contents in the "Classic Potion Collection", including many poisons.

It is worth mentioning that Morton expressed his disappointment when he learned that there would be no banned potions in the prize pool.

Jiang Li thought: He doesn't want to experience the prison life in another world...

Suddenly, the devil was about to draw a scratch card and paused. He picked up the light golden potion that he had just put into the potion box and remembered the content on the card just now.

"Lucky potion?"

"Yes." Jiang Li added, "I bought it from Morton's Pharmacy. It's guaranteed to be authentic. No need to test it... eh? Wait!"

Before Jiang Li could stop him, the person in front of him had already opened the potion bottle, and the light golden potion quickly flowed down his throat.

In order to ensure fairness, the scratch-off stand was set up with magic circles and various anti-cheating methods. Countless people have tried it. Magic will fail here, and magic props that can see through or detect will also be ineffective. Everything depends on luck.

However, is a magical potion that can temporarily improve a person's luck considered a means of cheating?

Not only Jiang Li suddenly thought of it, but Serego, who was struggling with the scratch card next to him, also thought of it.

But before any of them could stop him, Nekomus had already pulled out another scratch-off ticket from the lottery box.

Serego took a step forward in panic: "Hey..."

The silver coating was scratched off, revealing the words "Dragon Sculpture" written in the common language of the continent. Nekomis raised his lips slightly, with an obvious smile on his pale face. He handed the card over: "I want the sculpture."

Jiang Li didn't know whether to take it for a moment. Serego had already strode forward and snatched the card over: "It doesn't count!"

The devil said calmly: "I drew it."

"You cheated." Serego bared his fangs at him, with flames flickering between his teeth, and the color of fire dancing in his golden pupils: "This is not a fair competition, and this sculpture cannot be given to you. I disagree."

Nekomis said calmly: "I drew it by luck."

"You drank the lucky potion!"

"I'm just using my prize reasonably. There's no such rule in the rules. My luck allowed me to draw this potion before you." Nekomus looked at Jiang Li: "What do you think, owner of the supermarket?"

Jiang Li: "..."

Jiang Li was also embarrassed.

Lucky potion is not a common potion, and it is not usually sold in pharmacy. In order to enrich the content of the prize pool, he asked Morton to make potions according to the content in the "Classic Potion Encyclopedia" and then sneaked into the prize pool. He regarded this potion as a prize, and due to negligence, he forgot the function of the lucky potion.

The rules of the scratch-off game are to draw prizes based on luck. People's luck is inherently good or bad. Some people can win the grand prize, while others can only thank you for participating. But this lucky potion was handed over to him personally, and Nekomus was able to draw the dragon sculpture, but it was not without the effect of this lucky potion.

If it doesn't count, the card has been scratched off, and the dragon sculpture can't be put back into the prize pool. If it is auctioned at a high or low price, the previous lottery will lose its meaning...

Before Jiang Li could think of a reasonable solution, Nekomus had already reached out and took the dragon sculpture from the shelf.

"Wait!"

Serego was anxious and rushed towards the black-robed man. The pressure of the dragon was exposed. Although he still maintained his human form, people who were close to him seemed to feel the overwhelming pressure of a giant dragon. Their legs suddenly became weak and they didn't even have the strength to move their fingers.

But Nekomus was not frightened. He nimbly dodged the red dragon's attack and walked out of the crowd holding the dragon sculpture. Although he had sealed himself in advance, he was not a real human after all. As a demon who ascended the throne in the purgatory of the survival of the fittest, in addition to his powerful strength, he also had a body that had been tempered by thousands of hammers.

He had experienced the power of the dragon countless times when playing with his pets.

Although he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, sorry, he really wanted this sculpture.

"Stop!" Serego growled angrily, his clothes on his back bulged uncomfortably, dragon scales climbed up his cheeks, crimson dragon horns began to emerge from his head, and his fingertips turned into sharp dragon claws: "You dare to fool the dragon, human, you will pay the price for angering the dragon!" The

huge dragon power was centered on the scratch-off stand, and the pressure was like a substance, spreading out in all directions. The snowflakes falling in the air were picked up by the strong wind and turned into a howling blizzard that swept across the entire city-state.

"Oh my God!"

The onlookers cried out in surprise, their faces pale with fear.

Jiang Li immediately set up a defense to protect the ordinary humans around him, and pointed his staff at the two people in the center of the chaos. Not far away, the guards of Dolei City rushed over here, and the silver-haired elf also pulled out his staff from the vegetable basket.

Serego arched his back, and his human form began to change into a dragon form. He was ready for battle, and his golden vertical pupils were firmly locked on the black-robed hunter in the distance.

The dragon's keen sense of smell allows him to clearly smell the different smells in the air, the aroma of food, the coolness of snowflakes, and a lot of fear and sadness... The fighting instinct belonging to the monster allows him to subconsciously distinguish the part that belongs to the enemy.

The smell of the black-robed stranger was not hard to identify. The cold and bloody smell had already followed his soul like a shadow, and...

Serego's face suddenly changed: "Why do you smell like Savile?"

The devil's eyelids twitched.
