NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5 Scratch
Hearing this, Li Pu opened the drawer of the cash register, and there were only a few banknotes inside.
This massage shop has been open for more than a year, and there is basically no business.
But the two teenagers no longer have to worry about the source of living expenses, because there are other ways to make money.
Get my newspaper and let's go.
Grabbing his guide stick, Li Pu stood up.
Li Jie was overjoyed and hurriedly followed suit.
Soon, the two boarded the bus.
A blind man, a strong man with a large stature and a fierce appearance, no one will give up his seat.
The strong nephew took up half of the seat, so crowded that Li Pu was almost stuck to the wall.
However, he has long been used to it. With the bumps of the vehicle, he quietly touched the Braille newspaper in his hand.
One piece of news caught his attention.
【The eastern outskirts of the city were brutally attacked by monsters, and 53 people were killed. 】
The originally soft concave-convex Braille suddenly felt a little awkward.
The memories that I don't want to recall are brought back.
Just as humans may be summoned to foreign lands, monsters occasionally break out.
Their once harmonious family was destroyed by a similar disaster.
Uncle, how many stops are you sitting today?
Li Jie's question interrupted the memory.
13 stops.
He casually said a number.
...
When they got out of the car, night had already fallen quietly.
There is an old city in front of you. The mottled old walls have been exposed to the wind and sun, revealing the background color of the bricks.
When Li Pu lost his sight for the first time, he thought about a problem.
If you have the ability to predict the future 15 seconds, how can you make money?
gamble? Of course not.
Nothing like this involving 404s is allowed on Harmony Bluestar.
Uncle, there is a city lottery over there.
Li Jie pointed to an alley and gave the answer.
City lottery sites are located all over the western city. It is managed by a public charity, and most of the income is used to benefit the people. It is absolutely legal and compliant.
Boss, here are ten scratch cards!
As soon as he entered the door, the big man came to the counter with ease.
Okay, what kind do you want?
The store owner took out his key and opened the glass counter.
Li Jie randomly picked the most expensive one and spread it out on the table.
You are usually lucky, help me pick ten.
He looked at Li Pu, deliberately speaking very loudly, with the feeling that there is no silver three hundred taels here.
A bald middle-aged man next to him heard this and shook his head with a smile.
Several other people in the store also laughed without saying a word.
Because in the eyes of old lottery players, scratch games are the most elementary games.
Li Pu put his hand on one of the lottery tickets and opened his eyes slightly.
The eyes swirled, and the hazy scene began to appear.
He saw his nephew holding a small spatula in his thick hands, scraping off a corner of the coating:
This one won't work.
He decisively changed to the next target.
This one won't work.
This one won't work. xN
When he saw a certain picture, Li Pu paused slightly.
This one... doesn't work either.
He tapped it with his fingers calmly, and the breathless nephew next to him immediately focused his eyes.
Let's go, don't waste money.
With a sense of dizziness, he scanned all the dozens of lottery tickets, and finally Li Pu waved his hand to pretend to dissuade him.
The big guy understood, and seemingly randomly picked out ten scratch cards, including the one that was hit hard just now.
After paying, he sat aside and scratched.
For a while, Li Pu felt a little idle.
In fact, with his half-baked approach, he can't make any money doing massages.
Opening a shop is just to pass the time and deceive people.
The real source of living expenses for the two is the city lottery shop.
Of course, Li Pu has always been cautious about this behavior.
He didn't want to be discovered, caught and sliced.
Bored, he began to check his current situation in his mind.
[LV1 attack head] + [LV1 round] + [LV1 foot kill]
The upper, middle and lower attack methods are available.
[LV1 Standing God] + [LV1 Wangchen]
There is also a means of resistance and escape.
In the storage space, there is also a newly purchased double-barreled short gun.
【inch sand】
Grade: ★★
Attack power: 15~22
attack range:

○■■

(Note 1: The side length of each square is 2 meters, ○ is the weapon user, ■ is the strikeable range, and the strike blind area)
(Note 2: I just found out that due to the different layout and fonts set by each person, the above picture may be displayed incorrectly or sorted in confusion. This part of friends can skip here directly, and it will not affect reading.)
Additional attributes: The closer the distance to the target, the higher the damage.
Explanation: Under the correct use method, it does not need to be aimed at all.
Among the firearms that Li Pu has browsed, [Inch Sand] is considered to have a relatively narrow attack range.
Only weapons with more than two stars will have additional attributes. This gun is considered to be of relatively good quality.
He looked at the experience panel again. After the previous battle, his experience bar has exceeded half.
It is estimated that if he can kill another LV3 elite monster, he will be promoted to LV2.
In general, he is quite satisfied now.
At this time, the bald middle-aged man from before came over.
Young man, you're right. You can't make money with scratch-offs. He stroked his Mediterranean bald head and said, Hurry up and persuade your uncle.
Li Pu smiled when he heard the words: Judging from your tone, it seems that you have a lot of experience.
Of course, I have studied trend charts for more than ten years! The middle-aged man was a little proud.
That should make a lot of money.
As a result, when this question came out, the other party was speechless.
On the contrary, a few old neighbors next to him taunted and booed, exposing the old background of the middle-aged man.
Him? The most he ever won was only 50 yuan, haha!
I didn't make money, but I spent a lot.
Hurry up, or your mother-in-law will come and pull your ears later!
Li Pu smiled without saying a word, opened his eyes and glanced at the middle-aged man.
Sure enough, the opponent's wife was expected to arrive at the battlefield in 10 seconds.
Fuck! It's developed! 5,000 yuan!
At this time, Li Jie who was beside him suddenly exclaimed that he was not acting this time.
5,000 yuan is enough to cover their living expenses for more than two months, and such a large denomination has never been scratched before.
Oh no?
Ouch! If I had known earlier, I would have gone to shave too!
It's the first time I've seen 5000 in scratch games in this store. This is really lucky...
Old, wife, listen to my explanation! I just stopped by to rest my legs! Really!
Look at the others! Why didn't you get hit! Wait for my old lady to break your leg, and rest as you want!
Everyone was stunned on the spot, and there was someone's screaming among them.
All amounts within 10,000 were exchanged in the store, and a thick stack of banknotes entered Li Pu's pocket.
Everyone seemed to have lost 5,000 yuan, and watched the uncle and nephew leave in frustration.
Standing in front of the lottery shop, Li Pu touched his thick pockets and decided to eat some good meat.
But after walking a few steps, I heard my nephew's breathing became farther away.
? He turned back, Why don't you go?
At this time, Li Jie was still standing there, staring at the entrance of the alley across the road.
There is a small door half-hidden by a hanging curtain, and four words are written on a dimly lit pink light box beside the door.
【Regular massage】
Uncle, I thought about it. He swallowed his throat, hesitated to say: Instead of taking advantage of that bear lady, it's better...
Li Pu: Why not?
Li Jie: Don't ask so many questions, just give me 500 yuan if you are a brother.
It's not big or small. Li Pu muttered, but still took out five big bills: Why do you want money all of a sudden?
I found out about your competitor, and I plan to spy on it.
The big boy looked serious.
Li Pu didn't understand what he said, but he opened his eyes, and the future scene suddenly appeared in front of him.
I saw the figure of my nephew quickly crossing the road with the money and slipping into the door curtain.
Ten seconds later, he came out in shame and indignation...
... Let's go, don't waste money.
He withdrew the hand that handed the money and walked away.
Li Jie was taken aback: Eh? Don't go! What did you see?
Li Pu thought for a while, Have you heard the song Princess Milk Tea has?
Li Jie: What song?
Li Pu: Can you give me time for a song?
Li Jie: ???
The big guy who was rejected was at a loss and could only follow Li Pu to the bus station.
At this time, when the lights are on, the old town is also starting to become lively.
In fact, this is not the first time they have come to this area, and it can even be said that they are quite familiar with the surrounding area.
Because the blue number stickers on the rows of white street light poles were pasted by the uncle and nephew when they were working during summer vacation.
This job seems easy, but it is not easy for them who are still young.
Posting a code can get 10 cents, and they need to post from early morning to night to earn dozens of dollars.
Li Jie is a little better, because he only needs to stand on tiptoe to reach the designated height when he is tall, while Li Pu needs a bench.
Once, the two of them posted a whole street only to find that a number was missing in the middle, which resulted in spending several hours tearing it up and starting over again.
At the end of each day, repeated peeling off of the stickers would cause blood to ooze from the crevice of the index finger.
Although those days were bitter, they were also very valuable memories.
At this moment, the two teenagers had feelings in their hearts, and they walked silently through the crowd.
Suddenly, passers-by around raised their heads and exclaimed.
Li Jie followed their gazes and looked towards the sky: Uncle, there are shooting stars.
The originally starless and moonless night sky suddenly became slightly brighter, and a meteor-like light seemed to be getting stronger and closer.
Li Pu raised his head and took a look.
It's not a meteor, it's a monster.
