Volume 9 – Chapter 76: Making a Comeback

“Congratulations, you won the prize! It’s the first prize!”

At the lottery retailer in the commercial street, the clerk looked enviously at the man in sportswear; the man used sunglasses and hoodie to cover his face.

Just a minute ago, this gentleman used five yuan to buy a scratch ticket [1]. He won the first prize at once. Five yuan had turned into 30,000 yuan just like that.

Although it was the first prize, a scratch ticket had a fixed reward, and the amount would not be significant. Hence, it could be cashed out directly. It would not be troublesome; the winner was not required to visit a particular place to redeem the prize.

However, this gentleman in sportswear seemed to have superb luck today. After this, he continued to buy a few tickets consecutively. He had acquired all the winning tickets without exception.

I have never seen such a lucky person. Lady Luck seems to be smiling at him. Some witnesses couldn’t help but stream the event with their phones.

“Emperor Ou [2]!”

“A walking Emperor Ou on Earth! He gets what he wants.”

*Gasp!*

The lucky guy bowed his head and quickly got out of the crowd. It seemed that he no longer planned to buy anymore. There was not much money gained. What people were curious about was his insane luck.

After hiding in a back alley in a restaurant on a commercial street, Liu Zixing removed the hoodie covering his face. Otherwise, he would be too conspicuous as he walked on the street.

At this moment, he had the cash he just won in his pocket. For ordinary people, they would be celebrating for several days. For Liu Zixing, this little money was not even enough for his usual meal.

Of course, the lack of money was only one aspect, but it was not the main reason. Liu Zixing found his luck superb, so great that he also found it incredible, worthy of the mysterious club boss’s service.

But, Liu Zixing could only win, but he couldn’t specify the prize.

We got to go with it inefficiently. Even if he won two yuan, it was a win and also a manifestation of luck.

Liu Zixing wasn’t good at anything else. He was blind in the jewelry business, but he was unexpectedly proficient in gambling, including mahjong, a poker dice game, roulette, and even stone gambling [3].

Liu Zixing was dissatisfied with how his superb luck won the prizes for him because he knew well that this luck would disappear today.

“It must be more specific, more profitable, and faster to come in...” Liu Zixing’ was fanatical.

He had decided on how to use his superb luck today. With such superb luck, besides gambling, what else could he do to make a lot of money quickly?

“It’s a pity. Those big lotteries with jackpots are not available today, or else...” Liu Zixing shook his head. Winning a huge lottery was naturally safer, in theory. At the very least, it appeared like honest money, eliminating many troubles.

Nevertheless, he went to another lottery retailer and bought many lottery tickets with high prizes one by one. What if he also won the lottery?

Liu Zixing once again covered his head with a hood, called a taxi, and said the name of a place; he seemed a little impatient.

If this luck could continue forever, he would be calm as he plans slowly on how to maximize its effect. The problem was that he only had one day. Since the early morning, he had wasted more than 9 hours.

There was no other way. If the world did not function normally, it could not be helped, no matter how lucky he was.

Time... I have to cherish the time for the superb luck. God knows next time I gamble with that boss, will I be lucky? He won the superb luck in the first attempt. In fact, in comparison to the gamble for his escape, he had to lose four times first!

Each gamble required betting one month of lifespan.

...

Liu Zixing took a deep breath. With his head down, he appeared in a sorry state.

Things had already come to this. He had nothing left with nothing to be afraid of.

I want to win everything back!

“Come here! The bigger you buy, the more you win! Buy it and keep your hand away...”

I want to win everything back!

...

“En... I won a lottery too.”

In a lottery retailer with a certain someone winning lotteries in a streak, Boss Luo used the lottery retailer’s scratcher to scratch off the scratching area of ​​a scratch ticket.

He didn’t intend to use any unique means. The boss just bought it for 5 yuan and asked the clerk to draw one lottery for him.

“Look, 10 yuan.” Luo Qiu smiled slightly.

“I won a lottery too.”

The maid also played this scratch ticket game along with the master at this time. Each ticket cost five yuan. She who had won 5 yuan actually gained nothing.

The boss cashed out 10 yuan and used it to buy two packets of lemon tea at the nearby canteen. The meticulous maid inserted a straw into the packet before sending it to Luo Qiu.

The lazy Boss Luo, on his daily routine, was relaxing.

The leisurely duo in the club was sipping lemon tea on the commercial street. The maid suddenly said, “Master, Liu Zixing has gone to the underground casino again, but it’s another one. He didn’t dare to show up in the casino where he was in debt. It seems that he made the most of his superb luck this day.”

“It’s quite interesting, isn’t it?” Luo Qiu smiled lightly, “From the moment he proposed an environment where the gamble takes place fair, things became interesting. From the outsider’s perspective, Liu Zixing seems like a prodigal. He thinks of such a way.”

“This is probably the nature of a gambler.” You Ye smiled slightly... In the memory of the maid, there were many cases of family ruin because of gambling.

“Other than that?” Sitting on a nearby bench, Luo Qiu played with You Ye’s flawless fingers, smiled, and asked, “Other than that, is there nothing else?”

You Ye whispered, “That should be tremendous pressure. His mentality is a little different.”

After entangling with her fingers for a while, Boss Luo let go as if he had just finished playing a work of art and was content, “After he started thinking about how to win more by betting against me, what’s on stake is naturally more than the money at the gambling table.”

...

Two days have passed since Liu Zixing sold off the peculiar black diamond.

Many things happened to Professor Trevor in the past two days too. For example, the repeated expenditure of his wealth in his home country was exposed. His wife and daughter even went to the court and applied to freeze his account temporarily. They suspected that Professor Trevor might have encountered some dangerous situation abroad, which was the reason for his account’s abnormal behaviors.

But, it was not important to him anymore. What was important was that he had acquired this black diamond. With the help of “Book of the Dead”, Professor Trevor discovered that he could finally operate magic alone as long as he was holding this black diamond.

Just like what Wang Yuechuan mentioned.

However, this black diamond was probably just a consumable. The power it contained would eventually be used up one day.

Professor Trevor continued the translation of “Book of the Dead” at this time, while Wang Yuechuan was now concentrating on the basic magic training, in particular the chapter about manipulation. He had soon become more adept.

This young body...

The immortality mentioned in “Soul Script”...

A strange glitter flashed in Professor Trevor’s eyes.

At this time, Wang Yuechuan stopped, frowned slightly, and looked towards Professor Trevor abruptly, “Is there any discovery?”

What a keen sense of touch!

Professor Trevor nodded calmly with a wild idea in his head, “Wang, I just decoded a paragraph that is important for you and me to master the magic power. I feel that we need to try it out.”

“Oh? Tell me more.” Wang Yuechuan nodded as he approached Professor Trevor.
