YM778.TV Chapter 510 - Here We Go!
In the meantime, they proceeded with the distribution task of the remaining fliers. During the entire process, in spite of a few individuals looking for trouble, none of them actually succeeded in their attempts since the cultivation level of none of them really exceeded the Liberation stage itself.
That was because those with a cultivation base higher than Liberation didn\'t need a mere Low-Human level technique and even the money they could earn through selling it didn\'t really garner their greed since they could earn even more if they wished to. In fact, they deemed it far beneath themselves to make a move for such a trashy technique.
Albeit, one\'s trash was another\'s treasure.
…
During the next fifteen days, all Virus did was commute between the shop, the brothel, and the inn.
While his main reason and concern for going to the brothel was to stalk Blaze, it would be a lie to say he did not enjoy the company of the seemingly innocent yet unlucky Aily.
Nonetheless, in these past fifteen days, Virus had observed Blaze so much that he could easily predict how he was going to behave and respond in a variety of circumstances. That was how well he had gotten to know the guy by occupying the empty room beside him.
And in regards to the inn, Virus only went there to sleep. In fact, a week ago, Luca and Luna both decided to watch over the shop together with Archibald and Augustus. They did not want to remain a burden any more than they had been already.
As for how Luna could go back and forth to the shop, that had to do with the wooden wheelchair Virus had constructed specifically for him. How he could accomplish that was extremely easy, to be frank. All he had to do was to draw its precise blueprint and there were numerous skilled carpenters throughout the city to bring life to the blueprint.
Last but not least, in the past half a month, one person after another came to the Dead Pool district with the sole motivation of signing up in the lottery that was going to be held today.
Amongst the participants, while most of them were common people, a lot of them were cultivators as well.
"Boss! It\'s amazing! Look at our crowded store! I bet most citizens of Ricando have heard of our shop already." Pointing at the tens of clients window shopping in their store, Archibald could barely prevent himself from screaming in sheer joy.
Indeed, not only did they have a lot of regular customers and sales now, but a week ago, having obtained enough capital, Virus had purchased the shop for three thousand Qi Ingots of first-grade which was frankly a thousand Qi Ingots more expensive compared to the initial selling price the desperate owner had demanded.
Nevertheless, not really minding the shop getting a mere thousand Qi Ingots more expensive, Virus outright bought it.
Furthermore, two days ago, after his earnings touched the ceiling of twenty thousand Qi Ingots, Virus commanded Archibald and Augustus to buy the cheapest shops he could in the Dead Pool district without any ado.
Overall, Virus now had nine more empty stores in the Dead Pool region without anyone occupying them.
\'Alright. Everything\'s going according to the plan. To be truthful, things have progressed so smooth so far that I\'m gradually starting to get worried.\' Although he was pondering that internally, outwardly, he was busy putting his hands inside a dish filled with thousands of names.
"Here we go, everyone! With you few people as everyone\'s trusted representatives, we\'re going to start the lottery now. Let\'s see who\'s the lucky winner of this event." He stated.
Messing up the names inside the bowl, Virus mixed them up again and again until everyone was reassured that there was no possibility of intentionally picking a specific name out of the bowl.
Next, closing both eyes, Virus pushed his fingers through the bowl before randomly picking a small piece of paper out. Unwrapping it next, he took a sneak peek at the name before making a declaration.
"And today\'s winner is…"
Intending to add more suspense to the event, Virus stayed quiet for a while before opening his mouth at last and announcing, "The winner is no one but… Yejil with the identity number of 52365! Congratulations!"
"Damn! Why was it not me?" Messing up his hair, in absolute frustration, one of the customers that had been busy praying to heavens earlier vocalized.
"Fuck, I was sure I was gonna get it. Ahhh!" Another was disappointed to the point of despair while shouting out loud.
Most others, however, were chill about their loss. "Ah, I kinda knew I had no chance considering there were thousands of other participants, but I still had some hope, sigh…"
Every kind of reaction ensued in the shop. However, the vital detail was that none of the people present right now was the winner.
Of course, after the word spread around soon, it didn\'t take long before the awestruck Yejil rushed over. "I-I really… won?!"
"Yes, you lucky bastard, haha. Here\'s your reward." Uttering that out loud, Archibald brought and presented the promised book to Yejil with an envious look in his eyes as if he couldn\'t be more jealous of him.
Internally, however, Archibald was busy laughing uproariously at all the fools in his surroundings.. \'Hahaha, you fools! We\'re the true winner of this game.\'
