Chapter 4: Underground Lottery
Wen Jing appears to be quiet and gentle, yet her character is extremely persistent; once she has made a decision, no one can change it
Thinking of the ninety-two thousand dollars about to fall into his hands, Wang Chun felt a wave of regret. If only he had thought of it earlier, he should have raised a bit more money. Unfortunately, the order deadline was approaching; otherwise, he would have informed Wenjing and Shi Xiaobao to buy a little as well.
As the setting sun descends in the west, the heartbroken wanderer roams the ends of the earth
Finally, after enduring much hardship, Wang Chuan has reached the moment of the lottery draw
Yesterday, I broke up with my girlfriend. Tonight, I am going to have a late-night snack and engage in a brawl with Wenjing, Shixiaobao, and the others
"No, no, that's not necessary." Wang Chun quickly stood up and pressed Shi Xiaobao back into the chair
Ah... haha... even the foolish brother has a time to prosper, congratulations!" Shi Xiaobao immediately offered his congratulations, but his face was filled with disdain, more like mocking Wang Chun for being inexperienced.
Wang Chun has a particularly vivid memory of tonight's events, as the three of them were beaten black and blue by a group of thieves engaged in a black-on-black robbery. It is precisely for this reason that he is not enthusiastic about tonight's late-night snack
"What the hell, are you slaughtering pigs? Over 8000, with over 8000 you could buy a whole trainload of shirts like this," Shi Xiaobao mocked.
23 ! '' Wang Chunmeng slapped his thigh.
Wang Chun suddenly felt a surge of passion; he remembered that he had been traversing for 60 days. Each day now was a repetition of his past life.
Forget it... let me think...
Unfortunately, Wang Chun's intervention did not alter the course of the script's development
"If I don't let this out, I, Shi Xiaobao, will have no face to meet anyone... Wuwu..." Shi Xiaobao gulped down another bottle of beer and suddenly began to cry uncontrollably without any warning. A grown man crying immediately drew the attention of the surrounding diners.
It is clearly impossible to place a bet on the Double Chromosphere, however, one can reminisce about the underground lottery with images and books.
Reliable and trustworthy
Oh ... ...
Hmm, then I will bet 2000 yuan... no, no... once I finish betting, I will have spent all the money I have on me. Wang Chun took all the money out of his pocket.
Wang Chun and Wen Jing exchanged a glance, a faint bitter smile appearing at the corners of their mouths. Both of them knew that Shi Xiaobao could not drink alcohol; once he did, he would lose control of his emotions
Hehe, I have some insider information. The special number for this issue is 23, Manager Chen. We are all brothers here, so don't blame me for not telling you. You can also place a bet, preferably a few hundred thousand. You could get rich in one go.
"What is it?" the lobby manager raised his head and asked
Once, a gangster boss, in an attempt to please his girlfriend, placed a razor against a quiet woman's neck and demanded that she style his girlfriend's hair. However, the woman remained completely silent and seemingly unconcerned, leaving the gangster boss utterly embarrassed.
In Wang Chuan's memory, his elementary school grades were exceptionally good, ranking among the top in the entire school. It is unreasonable that his name contains the character for "fool"!
As long as it is reliable. Wenjing, who was not fond of speaking, asked a question and then fell silent, carefully wiping the greasy table with a tissue
How much did the old man at the phone booth pay? Wang Chuan still needs to confirm this
Over ninety thousand... well, enough to buy two sets of decent-looking clothes. Wenjing appeared even more nonchalant.
Where is Yan Gun?" Wenjing stood up
The man who lassos horses is mighty and strong, and the galloping steed rushes like the swift wind
Wang Chun began to rack his brains, trying to find any clues in his mind
"Wang Chun, please bring me a pen; this one is out of ink." The lobby manager was engrossed in writing something.
Brothers, I have an exciting announcement to make: I have won the lottery, with a prize of over 90,000 yuan from mhetushu.com. Today's meal is on me. Wang Chun just sat down and immediately began to share the joyful news with great enthusiasm
Wang Chun felt a wave of irritation and restlessness. All along, he had never understood why, after only graduating from elementary school, his mother insisted that he drop out. What puzzled Wang Chun even more was why his mother had chosen the name "Wang Chun" for him.
After the lobby manager took the order, he disappeared. However, Wang Chun was not worried that the lobby manager would run off with the order, after all, he was the lobby manager here, and his reputation had always been impeccable.
Since I am able to prevent two accidents from occurring, and I can also win the lottery, then I can change the outcome this time
Moreover, Wenjing is exceptionally agile and decisive. It is precisely because of him that in the last battle, despite the overwhelming numerical advantage of the opponent, it still ended in a mutually destructive stalemate
Shakespeare, he has indeed been heard of, but it is merely that, just heard of.
Forget it. Wang Chun immediately stopped Shi Xiaobao from continuing, as he was aware of the script's development. Next, Shi Xiaobao began to express his grievances about the mobile phone issue, and then he and Wen Jing were filled with righteous indignation. After three rounds of drinks, the three of them planned to negotiate with a group of thieves who prey on each other to reclaim their territory. Ultimately, the conclusion was that the three of them were beaten black and blue by a group of thieves, resulting in mutual injury.
The lobby manager usually takes on some side jobs, handing over orders to the dealer and earning a small commission for himself. Wang Chun knows nothing about betting on horses, but occasionally he might spend three or five yuan to try his luck. However, Wang Chun has extremely bad luck and has never won anything.
Tell Wang Chuan that it was not the lobby manager who won the prize, but rather the loud-voiced old man at the entrance kiosk, Liu Bo, who is essentially the loudspeaker of the entire street. Whenever there is any slight disturbance on this street, he is always the first to know
In a state of ecstatic joy, Wang Chuan once again endured until the end of the workday and the arrival of the book.
Special code 23
Wang Chun has no specific concept of time; however, he can pinpoint the events that occurred today before his time travel through a few significant incidents.
In his lifetime, Wang Chun had never seen more than ten thousand yuan in cash. His largest savings amounted to just over two thousand yuan, which he had saved up before buying a mobile phone. Most of the time, Wang Chun lived paycheck to paycheck. This time, if it weren't for that old Taoist who was willing to accept the bet and provided him with 2,000 yuan, he wouldn't have had so much cash to wager.
By the time work ended, it was already past midnight
Brother Bao, our search for Yan Gun on Gaoshan Street can yield only two outcomes: first, we do not find him; second, if we do find him, we will be beaten up due to the sheer number of his accomplices. Regardless of whether it is the first or the second outcome, there is no need for us to seek revenge on Gaoshan Street. Wang Chun's only option is to persuade Shi Xiaobao to return home, making one last effort.

Good brother! Shi Xiaobao grabbed Wenjing's arm, pounded twice on her thin chest, but his gaze was fixed on Wang Chun.
"Who?" Wenjing asked
Not bad, how about buying a few to try your luck? The lobby manager did not even look up, one hand continuously dialing the phone while the other hand kept accounting
Wen Jing and Shi Xiao Bao had been waiting outside the door for a while. After the three of them met, they walked to the nearby "Brother Barbecue" to have a late-night snack
I want to challenge 23! Wang Chun had an excited expression on his face as he recalled the special number that was drawn today. This was because Uncle Liu at the newsstand had placed a bet of 10 yuan and won the special number. At that time, the old man held onto Wang Chun and rambled on for a long time, constantly regretting that he had bet too little, which left a deep impression on him
"What a pretentious outfit!" Shi Xiaobao said sarcastically, tugging at Wenjing's pristine white shirt. "How much did this shabby shirt cost you?"
"Chun Ge, where is your phone?" asked Shi Xiaobao, addressing the book king Chun.
Throughout the journey, Wang Chuan was contemplating how to prevent the tragedy from recurring
"Chun Ge, I have been blackmailed by someone." Shi Xiaobao said angrily, biting open a bottle of beer, and gulping down the entire bottle in one go. His small eyes turned blood red, resembling a furious carnivorous beast
With a forty-fold odds, two thousand three hundred yuan amounts to ninety-two thousand yuan in total. This is undoubtedly a substantial fortune for Wang Chun.
"That bastard deserves to be killed a thousand times. He steals wallets, lacking any real ability, and specializes in opportunistic theft. Last time, he took my spring bag, which is slang for a woman's wallet. This time, he snatched away the iPhone 5S that I had worked so hard to obtain. " Shi Xiaobao's face was filled with murderous intent
Hehe, how much to order?
Hehe. The lobby manager smiled and did not take it to heart. In this world, there are at least eight thousand people like Wang Chun who claim to have insider information. If everyone had insider information, it would spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the speculators would have long since been unable to continue. Wang Chun's confident demeanor is likely due to having fallen for a scam call, and he naturally does not care about such trivial matters.
The three of them drank a few more bottles of wine to bolster their courage, then devoured the beef skewers and chicken wings, leaving nothing behind. Swaying unsteadily, they linked arms, sang loudly, and headed towards "Gaoshan Street"
Ten yuan
Wang Chuan walked out of the hall of Greek mythology and picked up a ballpoint pen from Liu Bo at the kiosk by the entrance, with the bill naturally charged to the lobby manager
Who is Nietzsche
No one understands Wenjing's character better than Wang Chun. Since Wenjing is determined to stand up for Shi Xiaobao, it means that no one should expect to persuade her otherwise
Hehe, of course, as long as my dear brother is willing, I can easily get a few Apple phones... Stupid brother, just wait, I can stroll around the book circle here and get you a phone to use... Shixiaobao, with his brain fried by alcohol, stood up unsteadily.
"This shirt is not expensive, only a little over 8000." Wenjing swatted away Shi Xiaobao's hand and said, "Don't touch it, you'll get it dirty, and you won't be able to afford the compensation."
If I get beaten, so be it; after all, it will be a mutual loss, and it is not shameful.
Waiting is a form of torment
Oh dear, what a pity, my phone has been stolen...
From Brother Barbecue to Gaoshan Street, there are two miles. The three did not take a taxi, but took a shortcut to walk there
Lü Jiaojiao's words always linger in Wang Chun's mind
Wang Chun watched as the shadow of the streetlight pole gradually tilted under the setting sun, feeling an inexplicable sadness
Unfortunately, I have never paid attention to the welfare lottery, and I am also indifferent to the underground lottery that occurs around me every day
"The ignorant are fearless." Wenjing seemed unwilling to dwell on the matter of clothing and shifted the topic, asking: "Wang Chuan, is the dealer reliable?"
It fell.
"So much?" The lobby manager was taken aback; he knew Wang Chun all too well, as his bets had never exceeded five yuan.
The draw will take place around 9 o'clock
How is today? Wang Chuan doesn't even need to look to know that the lobby manager is registering the list for the underground lottery.
What troubled Wang Chuny was that whenever he sought revenge, he would inevitably be beaten, as the opposing side was numerous and outnumbered him by more than four times
Wang Chun repeatedly organized the numbers from the underground lottery during this period
Watching the tragedy about to unfold with wide eyes, Wang Chun wore a look of deep dejection
If one could buy the Double Chromosphere lottery, it does not mean that one would become wealthy immediately
"If you take it, so be it. With your skill in skinning, it's not a problem to take not just one Apple phone, but even eight or ten. " Wang Chun is now determined to prevent history from repeating itself
The lottery draw time is around 9 o'clock, and during the subsequent working hours, Wang Chuan is lost in fantasies about how to manage the enormous prize money
