"Hey, wait, don't jump to conclusions so quickly... Bernice, hey, Bernice, say something..."
Paipai called out to Bernice softly, indicating that she should say something. The latter understood what she meant and gave her a confident look.
Chapter 315 If it really doesn't work, I'll play a few games with her
"You're right, there's no need to pay! We didn't even think about that when we saved you. Just take care of yourself and live to be 90 in good health!"
"What...?! Bernice..."
Paipai opened her eyes wide, somewhat in disbelief, but she felt it was natural for her to look at Bernice, and in the end she said nothing.
When the old woman heard what she said, she thought Bernice was a really nice person, so she gave her a good thing that could bring her luck.
"Is this...a lottery ticket?"
Paipai, who often buys lottery tickets, recognized the small piece of paper at a glance, and the old woman nodded affirmatively.
"I bought it casually when I passed by a lottery station. The friendly clerk helped me choose the number. When I bought it, I felt my palms warm. It felt great...
Having lived this long, I understand very well that feeling is nothing but a sudden blessing! This bet can win at least 200 million!
"Wow! Two million! I want to rent a full-sized swimming pool, fill it with fuel and drink, and have Zhe teach me how to swim!"
Bernice was very excited after hearing what the old woman said. Her little expression seemed to indicate that she had begun to imagine the wonderful life after redeeming the prize.
Seeing this, Paipai on the side was also a little helpless.
"...Swimming in fuel?...Are you already getting high?"
Afterwards, Bernice stayed in place to guard the supplies, while Zhe and Paipai sent the old woman to the nearest cave exit. At this moment, Paipai suddenly spoke.
"Zhe, are we thinking the same thing?"
"Was it the lottery ticket that got Bernice in the head?"
"Of course. Bernice's irresistible optimism is her endearing quality. I really like that about her, and I'm sure you do too... so I don't want to see her depressed."
Reality is always depressing, isn't it? Although it is troublesome, I still want to remind her of the reality. "
Paipai acted like an adult and was sober, while Zhe was thinking, what if the lottery ticket really won 200 million?
While they were thinking, the two had returned to Bernice's side, and the latter spoke excitedly when she saw this.
"Hey! You're back! Guess what I was thinking about? Three, two, one—you guessed it, I was thinking about how to divide the 250 million bonus between the three of us!"
"What? We were only gone for 10 minutes and my imaginary bonus has already increased by half a million? I wish my stocks were like that too."
Paipai was surprised to talk about adult topics that made people feel a little sad, but seeing her like this, Bernice felt a little puzzled.
"I thought Paipai would be very happy. Don't you usually like chatting about lottery with other truck drivers?"
After hearing this, Paipai temporarily put away the sad expression on her face and instead explained to Bernice very seriously.
“We like lottery tickets, not because of the small piece of paper that makes us spend money, but because of the prize money behind it.
Bernice, listen to me…buying lottery tickets is science, but also metaphysics. But in the final analysis, it’s 95% science mixed with 5% social darkness. Understand?”
Paipai spoke in a serious tone, pointing his index finger at Bernice, but the latter just slapped her forehead and smiled optimistically.
"Haha! I don't understand at all!"
"Alas, I hope you never understand. The waters are too complicated, I can't explain it in detail. Zhe also knows, right?
Whether you place a bet casually or have the numbers chosen by the store, the chances of winning a small or medium prize are still very small, but the jackpot? Absolutely impossible."
Paipai looked at Zhe beside her, trying to ask him to help persuade Bernice, but the latter had already started thinking that if she really didn't win the prize, she should coax her with a few glasses of fuel drinks.
After all, no matter how sad Bernice is, all he needs to do is give her a few glasses of fuel drinks. If that doesn't work, he can just play a few games with her, Zhe thought to himself.
At this time, Bernice was still confident in refuting Paipai's words, but the latter was still not optimistic about the rejection.
"Hasn't the prize draw yet? It's too early to say it's impossible now!"
"Don't use lines like 'Even though it's match point, we haven't lost yet' from sports comics. Anyone who's ever placed a bet knows that miraculous comeback victories are most common in comics."
As she was speaking, Paipai took the lottery ticket from Bernice's hand and saw that the redemption time was tonight. After hearing this, Bernice decided to wait for the live broadcast.
"Tsk... Zhe, let me discuss something with you. It's almost impossible to win this lottery ticket, and I don't want Bernice to be alone when she's disappointed, so..."
Paipai didn't finish his words, but Zhe, who heard it, understood the meaning and naturally couldn't refuse it, so after receiving a positive answer, he spoke again.
"Bernice, let's go to the video store on 6th Street and watch the lottery show together, okay? We'll be right there with you."
After deciding this, the three of them left the cave with the supplies and soon returned to Liufen Street together.
When passing by the grocery store, Bernice suddenly wanted to buy a bottle of fuel drink. After opening it, she found the words "Another bottle" on the bottle cap.
Seeing this, Bernice was very happy, and even became more determined to decide which lottery ticket would win the jackpot. She completely ignored Paipai's advice and even figured out how to spend the prize money.
Seeing this, Paipai gave up the idea of pouring cold water on Bernice. She compared the latter to a sauna. The more cold water was poured on her, the hotter she became.
Not long after, as the sun set, the time for the lottery draw arrived, and the three of them returned to the video store together.
Paipai and Bernice snuggled up to Zhe on either side, while a lottery program was playing on the TV in front of them.
"Now let's announce the winning numbers for this period—"
Listening to the host's voice, Bernice also began to compare the numbers on the lottery ticket in her hand. For a lottery like this, the more numbers that match, the higher the prize.
"The first few digits are all there! Is this lottery ticket really going to win the jackpot?"
"Don't be too happy yet. The bonus is still a small amount, barely enough to buy three cups of tea and milk."
"Only three cups of tea milk? That's not enough for the four of us. No, no! Increase the bonus! Increase it to at least four cups of tea milk!"
As Bernice spoke, she clasped her hands together and began to pray. Seeing this, Zhe couldn't help but feel that his previous worries were a bit unnecessary. After all, the former was so easy to satisfy and didn't seem to be disappointed at all.
But as the next number was announced, Zhe discovered that there was another number that was the same as the one on the lottery ticket, but seeing this, Paipai became excited.
"...Hey, wait a minute...are there only the last two digits left...and are all the other digits the same?"
As Paipai was speaking, the host on TV announced the last two winning numbers, and at this time Bernice also looked a little surprised.
"Eh? Isn't this the same as our lottery?"
Chapter 316: To celebrate, let’s not sleep tonight!
Paipai was stunned for a moment after hearing what Bernice said, but what was even more shocking was the voice of the host on TV.
"To those who have lost out on the lottery, don't lose heart. To the lucky winners, congratulations! It's reported that the first prize this time is as high as 300 million Dhs!
Let us once again give flowers and applause, blessings and envy to those lucky ones who have been selected!!!"
Zhedun was surprised after hearing this, while Paipai was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Wha-wha-wha what?"
"I actually won the lottery, and it's a 300 million jackpot..."
I didn’t expect that this lottery company was so conscientious that they would actually give out the grand prize.
Although when you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be the case. The old lady didn't take Dinny seriously at all, and it was even the clerk who helped her choose the number.
Furthermore, considering the other party's confident tone, could it be that he already knew that he would win, so he said that?
Regardless of the doubts in Zhe's mind, Bernice on the side was extremely happy when she heard it, and raised her hands excitedly.
"Three million dinnies! Wow, that's a great number! The three of us get exactly one million each!"
"No...wait a minute...you said you'd split the prize money with us, were you serious?"
Paipai looked at Bernice in surprise, while the latter responded as if it was natural.
"Of course! The old lady was thanking the three of us. Since she gave us the lottery ticket, the prize money should be divided three ways!"
"Bernice..."
Paipai's tone was very touching, and seeing her like this, Bernice was a little caught off guard.
"Oh? What's wrong?"
"…Nothing. Our Bernice is such a good child!"
"Yes, but considering Bernice's personality, it seems normal for her to do this."
As Zhe spoke, he reached out and touched the head of Bernice beside him, and the latter giggled happily.
"You're all praising me all of a sudden... I just did what anyone would do! If you two had this lottery ticket, would you do the same thing?"
Bernice is really such an innocent and adorable girl! This is the most direct thought in the hearts of the two people at this moment.
"Well, I don't know what Zhe will do. I can't really say. My heart is probably as filthy as a truck's exhaust pipe, right?
Bernice's heart is still shining like the truck's headlights."
Paipai said this with some self-mockery, but Zhe didn't quite agree when he heard it. He reached out and grabbed Paipai's little face and rubbed it.
"I don't think so."
"That's right, the sexiest part of a truck isn't the headlights, it's the engine! When will my heart be able to rumble like that engine~"
Wow, my heart is beating like an engine. What kind of emperor engine is this?
"Bernice, that's not what I meant. Although you are indeed very sexy, what I want to say is that Paipai also has a sense of responsibility that many adults don't have."
"Well, after hearing that, I feel a little embarrassed. It's great to be young... Let's not talk about this anymore. I just watched the show, and it seems that the prize money won't be paid out for a while."
Paipai changed the subject with a slightly red cheek, and Bernice nodded when she heard it.
"Oh, so, can Paipai and I stay here tonight? Okay, okay?"
Bernice looked at Zhe expectantly, and the latter naturally could not refuse. After receiving a positive answer, she immediately hugged Zhe's neck happily.
"Great! A big, soft bed. Hehe, to celebrate, let's not sleep tonight!"
"Don't you want to sleep? It's so good to be young..."
Paipai couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the energetic Bernice, who also began to look forward to it with the lottery ticket in her hand.
"Such an important lottery ticket, I will definitely keep it safe with me and won't lose it... mmm..."
Before she could finish her words, Paipai beside her quickly stood on tiptoe and covered her mouth with her hand.
"Don't say such unlucky things! --To be on the safe side, I'll keep the lottery ticket..."
Ling, who was watching this scene, felt a little surprised at this time. This was not a dream. Her brother was allocated 100 million dinars just by accepting a commission!
But what would I do? Never mind, now is not the time to think about that!
"Brother! Shouldn't we have a small celebration tonight for this one million yuan income?"
As Ling spoke, she had already come to Zhe's side and spoke to him in a coquettish tone. Zhe had always been unable to refuse his sister's request.
"Okay, in that case, I'll go buy some delicious food later and come back for a midnight snack."
"Yeah!"×3
Compared to Ling, Zhe seemed relatively calm about the unexpected income of 1 million Dinny, not to mention that 39000 emotion points in the system can be exchanged for Dinny at a rate of 100:10000.
The income from his novels and comics would not be enough to be spent in a short period of time, but he had never told Ling how much money he had.
After all, money can make people lose their minds, but he will buy whatever Ling wants anyway.
……
Because there were still a few days before the lottery draw, Bernice and Paipai stayed in the video store for one night and then returned to the outer ring.
When the time came for the three of them to claim the 300 million grand prize, Zhe, who was waiting at the door, only saw a breathless Bernice.
The latter claimed that she had an accident, but she had no say in the matter. Seeing that she couldn't explain it clearly, Zhe took her back to the room on the first floor of the video store.
Then he placed his hand on the fruit in front of her. Bernice was a little confused at first and was about to say that now was not the time to do such a thing.
But suddenly I felt my breathing become steady and the uncomfortable feeling in my chest had disappeared.
While she was surprised, she did not forget to talk about the accident she had just mentioned.
"I'm sorry, I may have been a little excited just now, and the matter may not be that serious—
It's just that Paipai disappeared for a day with our lottery tickets, and no one could contact her!"
Judging from Bernice's tone, she didn't seem to care much about the lottery ticket, and Zhe breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what she said.
"So that's how it is. I thought it was something else."
