Chapter 34: [34] It turns out that there really are people with incredible luck in this world!_1

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just when the atmosphere on-site had reached fever pitch, the event finally began.

First, a host stepped onto the stage to thank everyone for attending, then he “blah blah blah” explained the rules of opening the blind boxes.

According to what this host said, the organizers had prepared a total of five thousand lottery tickets, and among these five thousand tickets, only one hundred were for the chance to purchase blind boxes.

In other words, there was only a one in fifty chance.

And that was just the chance to participate in buying a blind box.

As for how many of the one hundred blind boxes might contain a hidden edition, it was anyone’s guess.

In any case, the vast majority of people today were destined to be disappointed.

Once the host had finished introducing the rules, staff immediately organized the crowd to line up.

There was a lottery box on stage, and everyone needed to queue up to draw from it.

Drawing tickets, Song Lele and Xu Xinling were so nervous they couldn’t stop chattering away to each other.

“Lele, I’m so nervous. I’ve never won anything in my life, I hope I have better luck this time,”

“I’m the same, I’ve never even won a ‘try again’ bottle cap. I hope Lady Luck blesses me and lets me use all my good luck on this one.”

“Same here, I really want to get that hidden edition…”

Tang Feng rolled his eyes upon hearing this, “It’s just a toy. Are you guys serious?”

His words were akin to stirring up a hornet’s nest.

Not only did the two girls give him a resentful glance, but even the others in line cast annoyed looks his way.

“Ahem, what I meant to say is, leave it to me. I’ve always had good luck,” he quickly assured them, thumping his chest.

Song Lele and Xu Xinling exchanged glances and both shook their heads, smiling.

They didn’t take his words seriously.

In this kind of random drawing, there was simply no opportunity to take a shortcut; it was all down to luck.

Anyone claiming to have a hundred percent certainty of drawing a winner now would merely be joking.

While the three were chatting, the queue in front had started to draw lottery tickets.

After drawing, the host would announce the results on the spot.

The first person took a slip of paper from the lottery box and handed it to the host.

“Thank you for participating.”

After unfolding the slip, the host announced the result with a smile, comforting him, “Those who didn’t draw a winning ticket, you can take this ticket over there to get a souvenir.”

The first person to draw pounded his chest in frustration and regret.

But there was only one chance; if you didn’t draw a winner, there was nothing you could do.

The queue behind continued to draw their lots.

“Thank you for participating.”

“Thank you for participating.”

“Thank you for participating…”

After a dozen people had gone by, not a single one had drawn a winning ticket.

The murmurs in the crowd grew louder.

“What a joke! Not even one among these people has drawn a winner? Do they even have tickets in there?”

“Come on, how can it be that after a dozen people, no one has drawn a winner? Isn’t this just toying with us?”

“Could it be that the organizers forgot to put those hundred spots in there? How come after more than a dozen tries, not a single one is a winner?”

“It is a bit strange, they haven’t done something sneaky, have they?”

Upon hearing the crowd’s questioning, the host quickly tried to explain, “Ladies and gentlemen, please rest assured, I guarantee that this event is public and transparent, with absolutely no hidden manipulation.”

Though somewhat skeptical, everyone had already come this far and could only continue to stand in line to draw.

After another six or seven people went by, still no winners.

Finally, it came to the turn of Ye Feng and the others.

“Lele, you go first,” Xu Xinling, who had been in front, started to back out when it was her turn.

“I… I’m nervous too, you draw first,” Song Lele also began to shrink back.

Both were so polite that neither wanted to draw first.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The people lined up behind them were growing impatient seeing the two push and shove, not willing to go first.

If Xu Xinling hadn’t been so pretty, there probably would already have been angry outbursts.

“Let me go first then,” Tang Feng finally took the initiative as he couldn’t stand watching any longer.

Song Lele and Xu Xinling were only too happy to step aside, letting him draw first.

Tang Feng shook his head with a smile and leisurely reached his hand into the lottery box.

The lottery box was wooden, with only a small hole big enough to fit a hand through, leaving its contents completely obscured from the outside.

As he reached in, he activated his scanning system.

The information from the heap of lottery tickets in the box was laid out before his eyes.

Which were the ‘thank you for participating’ tickets and which were the entry tickets were clear as day.

“This one,” he suddenly said, grabbing one of the tickets and slowly pulling it out.

Song Lele and Xu Xinling’s hearts had risen to their throats.

“You have to draw a winner, big guy, come on.”

“Yeah, if one of us three could just draw one, coming today would have been worth it.”

Both were nervously watching the lottery ticket in Tang Feng’s hand, their palms sweating.

Tang Feng handed the ticket over to the host, waiting calmly for the outcome.

The host slowly unfolded the ticket after receiving it, “Thank you for partici…”

Having read the phrase “thank you for participating” for dozens of people, it had become a reflex.

But as soon as he saw clearly what was printed on the ticket, his expression changed dramatically, and he hastily glanced at Tang Feng.

Song Lele and Xu Xinling had kept their attention on the host’s expression, and the moment they saw it change, their hearts started pounding.

Could it be…

As the same thought surfaced in both their minds, the host spoke out, confirming their speculation.

“Congratulations to this gentleman, you’ve got our first entry spot for today.”

While he spoke, he showed the unfolded ticket.

On it were written the words “Entry Ticket.”

“Hooray, we really won? Big guy, you’re amazing.”

“Big guy, your luck is truly explosive, the God of Fortune is with you!”

Song Lele and Xu Xinling each grabbed one of Tang Feng’s arms, jumping around excitedly.

They had both already given up hope, but Tang Feng, once again blessed by fortune, actually drew a spot.

“Xinling, didn’t I say so? I told you the big guy’s luck is incredible, but you didn’t believe me,” Song Lele boasted excitedly to Xu Xinling.

“I finally believe it now. There really are lucky ones in this world!” Xu Xinling’s excitement turned her face apple-red, making her extremely cute.

Behind them, the rest of the queue cast envious glances their way.
