Chapter 468: There are no good people in Nansang Middle School, and the good ones are not human either
Facing the boy's sincere and simple smile, Lin Li's mouth twitched slightly——
"Good buddy, this is the most ordinary dollar."
Stop this kind of misprinted coins!!
I feel like this guy is the kind of person who would say to the customer service, "Boss, there's something wrong with the cup you sent me. The place where you're supposed to get in is sealed, but the place where you're supposed to keep your juice from splashing has a crack. The quality is terrible."
"If you think so, then I can't help it." The boy chuckled and said the words that scumbags love to say the most.
Lin Li didn't feel angry or annoyed when he heard this. Instead, he found it very funny, especially when he realized that the students in Class 20 around him were still clapping in unison. So he asked helplessly:
"So, your class came up with this statement to make customers feel the emotional roller coaster?"
"That's not entirely true. If it's an ordinary dollar, the transaction is a bit shady. But if it's a misprinted coin, it's not a transaction, it's a collection. It's a transfer, and it's legal. This is our class's determination to avoid all risks and stay on the right path."
The boy said solemnly.
Is there any such consideration?
Lin Li gave a thumbs up, which was very law-abiding.
"But, buddy, you're really unlucky. One dollar is indeed the worst prize in the hole-in-the-wall game. Most of the prizes are either equal to or greater than three dollars. This one dollar is just to make up the number."
The boy scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then showed the enthusiasm of a sales champion and entered the next step of the sales promotion:
"Hey, buddy, I suggest you use this dollar to play a lottery. Did you ever play lottery when you were a kid?
It's the one where you tear open the lottery paper, and if you don't say thank you for your patronage, you'll get a reward of the corresponding amount. Look, it's on the table over there.
Let me tell you, when we bought this box of prize paper, we found that the manufacturer directly separated the grand prize and the ordinary prize. In other words, if we were a little insidious, we could completely throw away the grand prize.
I guess many of the vendors did this when I was a kid, so the winning rate was so low. But our Class 20 didn’t do that.
I can swear on my life, and our teacher has also specifically supervised and instructed us that our class put all these big prizes in it, so the winning rate of this box is definitely higher than when we played as children!
In addition, because the coin you have is a precious misprinted one-yuan coin, you can exchange one for two! ! ”
Lin Li raised his eyebrows at the boy's enthusiastic introduction.
However, after Lin Li noticed something out of the corner of his eye, he pondered for a moment and took out a coin from his pocket: "Brother, I have an ordinary coin in my pocket that is not precious and is not a mistake. How many can I exchange for one?"
The boy's momentum weakened a bit, and he smiled awkwardly while avoiding Lin Li's gaze: "Haha, two too."
Lin Li: “☉_☉.”
"Isn't that the same thing?!"
"Why don't you just say you can buy one for 50 cents? What does that have to do with a precious misprinted one-yuan coin?! What's so precious about it?!"
If I hadn't just observed someone throwing a dollar to the students in Class 20 and then drawing two tickets, I would have been fooled.
"Hehe, you've been discovered. I think saying this will make you feel less at a disadvantage." The boy was a little embarrassed again, but then he smiled and said:
"Well, let me decide. You can exchange this coin for three to show our special respect for it!"
"That's pretty good." Lin Li nodded in satisfaction after hearing that.
He didn't go over to play the lottery right away. Lin Li returned to the turntable and watched Bai Bufan start spinning.
Bai Bufan, who was waiting for the audience to return, turned the turntable only after seeing this.
"诱辱辱辘——"
The pointer stops.
Bai Bufan's luck was also pretty good, as he also stayed in the golden area. However, unlike Lin Li, his was a "gift blind box lottery opportunity."
"Congratulations, classmate, you have a chance to draw a blind gift box!"
The boy had also returned and immediately picked up a lottery box from the ground nearby. He shook it, and a rustling sound of paper slips rustled inside.
"Come on, students, draw a prize slip and you'll get the corresponding prize! The top prize is the gold piece taped to the door!"
"good--"
Bai Bufan nodded, licked the corner of his mouth, and even pulled up his sleeves to show respect, then reached into the lottery box expectantly.
"Don't hit the gold, don't hit the gold, don't hit the gold..."
Lin Li, who was standing aside, replicated Bai Bufan's behavior just now, muttering resentfully.
Remember, nothing is more heartbreaking than your own failure than your brother's success.
Bai Bufan simply ignored Lin Li's curses. After rummaging through the box for a while, he pulled out a prize ticket, but complained with some regret:
"I thought you'd hide a few in the corner or on top of the raffle box, but there's nothing."
"I've already said that we don't play tricks, we just rely on luck," the host smiled with some pride and smugness, and then urged Bai Bufan: "Classmate, open the prize paper and take a look."
“…Crystal Ball.”
Bai Bufan spread out the prize paper, displayed it and read out the contents.
"Congratulations! This is really a good reward!" The students in Class 20 immediately applauded again to provide emotional value, and the boy then took Bai Bufan to another prize redemption area next to the classroom pegboard.
The girl in charge of this area took out a not-so-small crystal ball from the pile of gifts around her and handed it to Bai Bufan.
It is an ornament, crystal clear. Even if it is wholesale, its value should be more than three yuan.
Bai Bufan made money.
This means that Lin Li lost money.
Big failure!
"Classmate," However, when the girl handed the crystal ball to Bai Bufan, she stared into his eyes seriously. Of course, this was not love, but just a reminder:
"No matter what happens, when you are not at home, be sure to cover the crystal ball with a cloth. The same applies to the classroom. Otherwise, something very dangerous may happen."
Bai Bufan: "oO?"
"If it's left uncovered...will something supernatural happen? Is this a divination crystal ball?"
Since the girl was so serious, Bai Bufan didn't want to spoil the fun, so he took the crystal ball carefully and solemnly. Since he didn't have any social anxiety because of the table between them, he asked curiously.
So metaphysical?
"No," the girl's voice suddenly became much calmer as she explained:
"This is because the spherical structure of the crystal ball is equivalent to a convex lens. If direct sunlight shines on it from a specific angle for a long time, the light will be focused through the sphere to produce a high-temperature focus. This focusing effect may cause combustible materials at the focal point - such as curtains, paper or wood products - to heat up rapidly, reaching the ignition point and causing a fire. Therefore, for safety and fire prevention reasons, it is recommended to cover the ball to avoid light when not at home."
Bai Bufan and Lin Li: "(゜▽゜)?"
Damn, is this the scientific reason?
"I, I understand. I'll pay attention."
Bai Bufan nodded, speechless and choking. After playing with it for a while, he noticed someone's sour gaze, so he turned his gaze to the receptionist:
"Hey, if I want to exchange this crystal ball for some precious misprinted coins, how many can I get?"
Boy: “…”
Why is this guy chasing and killing his classmates?
Sensing someone's gaze that was even more resentful and even a bit hateful, the boy said seriously:
"I can't exchange it, not even one. My friend, you know this is a precious misprinted coin. It's not for sale. Its value is inestimable. Only those who are destined to receive it can obtain it."
Bai Bufan: "Lin Li is amazing, he's definitely the king of luck!"
Lin Li: "(へ╬)!"
"I haven't lost yet, just wait for me." Lin Li cursed with a smile, then put his arm around Bai Bufan's shoulders and walked to another area of the classroom.
The project of Class 20 does not revolve around the turntable, but around luck, and the turntable is just one of the projects.
In this area, there are not only small games of luck such as winning prizes, but you can also buy snacks or drinks at prices higher than the market price.
Here, iced black tea is sold for 6 yuan a bottle. You should know that the 3 yuan iced black tea is Guojiao, and the 6 yuan one can only be horse urine. This is a provocation to all Kobes.
Class 20 naturally wouldn't do that. In fact, you can roll the dice after buying snacks, drinks or small gifts here.
The bigger the number on the dice, the bigger the discount you will get. If you are lucky and roll a 6, you can take it away for 1 yuan, but if you are unlucky, you can only get the original price.
It can be said that it implements the concept that luck is king.
I feel like if the gas delivery guy came to the 20th shift, he would be able to make a lot of money.
After all, they have always relied on luck to make money.
Professional and corresponding.
Overall, it is still very interesting. No wonder the flow of students in Class 20 is much higher than that of other classes.
However, although there are so many people, it is hard to say whether they can make money, because their class really does not seem to be doing anything scheming, and you can often hear the laughter of the "customers".
None of the students in Class 20 felt annoyed when they saw the customers "making money".
Obviously, everyone in this class, just as Xue Jian had once instructed, was not aiming to make money, but to enjoy the garden party.
Lin Li and Bai Bufan came here to win prizes, and squeezed into the corresponding area in a few steps.
The prize-giving system here is very classic. It consists of a square card the length of your index finger with a "X" notch in the middle. You can use this notch to flip open the prize paper, and underneath are pictures of banknotes of different denominations. If you don't thank your patronage, you will get the corresponding reward.
Using precious misprinted coins, Lin Li got three prize tickets. After giving one to Bai Bufan, the two began to open them.
For this kind of lottery paper, the words "Thank you for your patronage" that determine whether you win or not usually appear in the lower right corner, so some people like to directly remove the lower right corner to see the result, but Lin Li still prefers to remove the upper left corner first, then the lower left and upper right, leaving the lower right for last, leaving the moment of decision for last.
But after Lin Li removed the upper left corner of the first one, he threw it away.
——Because they took out a red Mao Zedong note.
You can tell without even looking at it that you won't win the prize. With a 50-cent ticket, you can't win even 10 yuan, let alone 100 yuan. The maximum prize is only 5 yuan.
But I was lucky with the second one and won a dollar.
After seeing that Bai Bufan's ticket didn't win, Lin Li was satisfied, because this was his victory.
Just as Lin Li was considering whether to exchange the dollar for two more draws or cash in the prize directly, he heard someone's trembling wail, the voice was desperate.
— “No — no — it’s gone again —”
Lin Li glanced over and found that he was actually an acquaintance - Fang Tianyou.
To be honest, ever since he stayed in the last examination room, Lin Li's circle of friends has indeed become much wider than before. He often meets people he can say hello to when walking on the street.
Fang Tianyou was also a buddy I met at the last exam room. He was quite loyal and was willing to take the risk of being punished to work for the team.
"Tianyou, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Lin Li greeted him with a smile.
"Hmm? Oh, it's Lin Li, you're playing too," Fang Tianyou nodded after seeing that it was Lin Li. Then, with trembling hands, he showed another unwinning ticket with a thank you for your patronage on it:
"I lost again... I, I lost everything again..."
"How much did you lose to end up like this?" Lin Li asked, finding it even more amusing.
"Three pieces... three whole pieces!" Fang Tianyou closed his eyes in pain, as if he didn't want to recall the sad past.
"I borrowed this money to buy steamed buns so I could survive until nightfall, but I couldn't resist and used it all on lottery tickets... What should I do?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Li immediately patted Fang Tianyou's shoulder gently and pointed out a clear path with concern:
"Tianyou, my parents' salary card, my younger siblings' tuition, and my grandparents' pension are all good money for turning things around."
Fang Tianyou: “?”
Damn, is he so cruel right from the start?
The boy in charge of running this area suddenly said, "How can a child cry every day, or a gambler lose every day?"
"Indeed," the male waiter who had come with Lin Li to prove that the precious misprinted coin in his hand could win three prizes also nodded in agreement.
"Eating, drinking, whoring and gambling all result in losses, only gambling has returns. My classmate, no, brother, brother, nine out of ten gambling losses, but you have already lost nine times. I think you can really seize this chance to win."
"Yes, yes," Lin Li added, "Tianyou, remember, the money you lose is just saved, but once you quit, it's all gone."
Seeing Fang Tianyou was still silent, Lin Li turned his gaze to Bai Bufan who was silent, raised his chin and said, "Bufan, you should also persuade my buddy."
Bai Bufan waved his hands repeatedly:
"Me? I don't dare to persuade him. I had a friend who got into over 800,000 yuan in debt from lottery betting. I tried to persuade him to continue, but I was actually full of malice, wanting him to fall into the abyss. He actually believed me and sold a kidney to try lottery betting. As a result, my god, he made back everything he invested with interest and is now a multi-millionaire. Not to mention that the lost kidney was quickly transplanted back, and now he has seven kidneys. I'm so envious of him, how could I dare to persuade him anymore?"
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Li asked in surprise, then immediately looked at Fang Tianyou and changed his words:
"Nianyou, please stop gambling. Don't be involved in major decisions as sunk costs. If you lose, you lose. It's not too late to quit gambling now."
Fang Tianyou: “(゜▽゜)?”
This kid didn't let me go either.
Oh my god, there are no good people in Nansang Middle School!
They're all demons, right?
But the atmosphere was already like this, Fang Tianyou resolutely took out his cell phone——
The flames of war are reignited again!!
…
"Four dollars...my four dollars..."
Thirty seconds later, Fang Tianyou left Class 20 in a daze, probably to sell his kidney.
Lin Li looked at Fang Tianyou's back, then looked at the one-dollar winning ticket in his hand.
Okay, no need to worry about it.
"Hello, I'm going to claim my prize and stop playing."
