What's Wrong with Just Wanting People to Take My Stuff for Free?

Why did Zheng Yu appear in all three lottery draws?

Zheng Yu provided a detailed explanation of this issue.

"Gentlemen... the Vast Heaven Sect would never cheat. This lottery event is being held in full view of everyone; how could the Vast Heaven Sect possibly cheat?"

"Then why were you able to win three times?" Fan Sheng asked, looking unconvinced.

We're both unlucky, and yesterday we were both down on our luck, unable to win anything. Today you've won three times in a row! How can you face us, the unlucky duo?

"Junior Brother Fan Sheng, the reason I was able to win three times is very simple... I just put in a few more spirit stones. The more I put in, the greater my chances of being drawn. Don't you understand?"

On site. "???"

Chu Xinghe: "???"

"Zheng Yu, you are utterly shameless! Isn't this cheating?" Fan Sheng said angrily.

Chu Xinghe expressed his support for his junior brother Fan Sheng. Isn't that cheating? Zheng Yu, you're shameless!

Soon, Zheng Yu took out the rules that had been given to everyone when they were planning the lucky draw, and then pointed to them and began to speak.

"Everyone here can read, right? It's clearly written here that all guests can participate in the lottery by throwing in spirit stones imbued with their own aura. Is there anything wrong with me, Zheng Yu, throwing in a few extra?"

"Is there a note saying that you can't put in more than one spirit stone?"

After Zheng Yu said those words, the scene was silent for a full half minute.

Although Zheng Yu's words were incredibly shameless, you have to admit that what he said made sense...

These rules were issued by the Vast Heaven Sect, and everyone received a copy. The content was identical for everyone, and the rules didn't mention anything about not being able to invest more than one spirit stone...

So what's wrong with Zheng Yu's approach?

Chu Xinghe burst into tears.

Zheng Yu, how the hell did you come up with such a grotesque thing?

Are you trying to play the rules game with me?

The odds are so clear, you can see them all too clearly...

But Zheng Yu's statement wasn't wrong... His own rules didn't specify that each person could only invest one unit.

So Zheng Yu, you're just waiting for me here, aren't you?

But Zheng Yu, just how many spirit stones did you throw in like a mad dog?

Chu Xinghe quickly learned the answer. Zheng Yu held up one finger to indicate, "I didn't invest many spirit stones, just a mere ten thousand..."

Goodness... there really aren't many...

How many guests actually came? And you each invested 10,000 yuan? No wonder all three of them were you. You've really mastered the law of probability...

But you're breaking the rules, you know that?

Actually, I don't care that you broke the Senior Brother Xinghe, since I just wanted to give away the Flute of Space and Time for free. But you've set a very bad precedent...

If Celestial Person follows your example, Zheng Yu, and starts throwing spirit stones into this industry like crazy tomorrow... tell me how I'll suffer a huge loss?

No way! This despicable and shameless behavior must be stopped, or this lucky draw is doomed!

But before Chu Xinghe could speak, Zheng Yu spoke up.

"Last night I went to the Spirit Crane Palace to ask the Grand Elder, and he personally told me that this was not against the rules, so my actions were legal."

After Zheng Yu finished speaking, the Grand Elder nodded to everyone.

Good heavens, Chu Xinghe's eyes welled up with tears... Um... Am I your disciple, or is Zheng Yu your disciple, Elder? You're really too kind of you to team up with Zheng Yu to trick me like this!

The Grand Elder ignored the discussions among his subordinates and turned his gaze to Xinghe, who remained calm. Only then did the Grand Elder realize Xinghe's true purpose in organizing this lucky draw.

When Xinghe first proposed this lucky draw, even he himself thought it was going to be a huge loss.

But it's a happy occasion after all... so what if we lose money?

But it turns out I underestimated Xinghe... With Xinghe taking action, how could the sect possibly suffer a loss?

When Zheng Yu came to him and asked if he could invest more spirit stones, the Grand Elder immediately knew Xinghe's secret tactics!

The rules set by Xinghe deliberately left such a loophole, so that as long as Zheng Yu invested a large number of spirit stones to obtain more Flute of Space and Time, wouldn't everyone else immediately follow suit?

Therefore, all parties who want to obtain the Flute of Space and Time will have to continuously increase their investment. What?

You say investing in spirit stones is too expensive?

You have no idea of the value of the Flute of Space and Time. Look at Zheng Yu, he only invested 10,000 spirit stones today, but he's already got three Flute of Space and Time. However, this is only because Zheng Yu got there first. If it were tomorrow, with everyone investing like crazy, how would you possibly win?

Therefore, you can only increase your investment to get the Flute of Space and Time, but no matter how much you invest, as long as you can get it, it will definitely not be a loss.

Xinghe's move was essentially a calculated maneuver that manipulated everyone, exploiting a gambler's mentality...

I invest a lot, but if I win just once, I can turn things around... And those who win will think they're incredibly lucky and want to try again... The more attractive Flute of Space and Time is, the more people will invest.

All the spirit stones invested will eventually go to the Vast Heaven Sect. Although the individual contributions from each party may not be enough to buy a single Flute of Space and Time, the sheer number of people involved makes up for it... With so many people contributing, the total value will definitely exceed ten Flute of Space and Time themselves...

This is a sure-fire deal... and the most brilliant thing about Xinghe is that the rules stated that if the prize is not won, the Vast Heaven Sect will keep the spirit stones as a way to bring good luck to Senior Brother Feng Fei.

The scene was in complete chaos... Although Zheng Yu's actions today were outrageous, you have to admit that there's nothing wrong with the method.

Cheng Xiaotian said with a delighted expression, "Hey, don't look at Zheng Yu like that. This kid is just a little quick-witted, that's all..."

Chu Xinghe wondered if Zheng Yu was really that quick-witted... Chu Xinghe just wanted to say, "Zheng Yu, you really have a unique ability to trick me, don't you?"

I've kept all my lucky charms far away, afraid something might happen to them. I just want to be taken advantage of... But you suddenly suggest this way of playing? Are you trying to defy the heavens?

What annoyed Chu Xinghe even more was that if Zheng Yu had just asked me one question, I would have fixed this bug on the spot!

But you went directly to ask the Grand Elder, and now he's agreed. Am I supposed to jump out and slap him in the face? Is that really appropriate?

That's not the worst part... The worst part is the rule I proposed that said I'd leave these spirit stones to bring good luck to Senior Brother Feng Fei.

At the time, Chu Xinghe didn't think much of it. After all, these spirit stones came from various powerful figures, and the quantity was extremely limited. In this situation, keeping them as a souvenir wasn't a bad idea. Later, when there were any big events, they could randomly select a few lucky winners to give away something – wouldn't that be another opportunity to profit?

But now, let alone losses... with this rule being announced, everyone's throwing spirit stones in haphazardly, what are we going to do...?

Zheng Yu... you're simply inhuman! You're so good at calculating, why did you learn martial arts? Wouldn't it be better if you sold cabbages? You'd definitely make a fortune selling cabbages.

But it was no use saying anything now. After Zheng Yu successfully found the bug, Chu Xinghe continued to draw lucky winners with a sense of despair.

At this point, Chu Xinghe could only pray that fewer Zheng Yus would be drawn next, or even none at Zheng Yu, so that everyone could see that investing more might not actually make it so easy to win.

As it turns out, fate was on Zheng Yu's side...

Of those ten Flute of Space and Time, Zheng Yu took nine, and the last one was drawn by Cheng Xiaotian...

This is absolutely outrageous, the main point is just how outrageous it is!

You promised that as long as I don't use tricks, tricks won't trick me?

The schemes didn't work on me, but you, Zheng Yu, did...

This lucky draw caused a complete uproar; the eyes of the big shots from Martial Emperor City who won ten Flute of Space and Time turned red with envy.

Now, they're all holding their Qiankun Rings, saying they want to participate in tomorrow's lottery. The rules can't be changed. Zheng Yu has invested a lot, so we don't need to worry about a few pennies!

Then chaos erupted... This person invested 30,000... That person invested 50,000... It doesn't sound like much.

But you can't handle such a large population base... Soon, a Qiankun Ring was completely filled with the large amount of spirit stones that had been invested.

Chu Xinghe watched as everyone continued to throw spirit stones into their new Qiankun Rings, and tears welled up in his eyes... What the hell am I going to do now?

I just want to lose big... but you guys just throw in spirit stones like mad dogs without warning, all shouting that as long as you win just one, you won't lose...

I don't know if you guys lost out or not, but all I want to do right now is die, you know that?

"Junior Brother Xinghe, so that's your plan... I admire you!" Feng Fei looked at the calm-faced Junior Brother Xinghe with a joyful expression.

Then, Senior Brother Feng Fei gave Junior Brother Xinghe a detailed breakdown of the costs.

Based on the amount of spirit stones everyone invested today, the total number is terrifying! This amount of spirit stones is more profitable than selling the Flute of Space and Time...

Moreover, Junior Brother Xinghe, you're exploiting people's psychology. Those who invest feel like they've made a killing... Tomorrow I'll invest even more and make even more money.

Those who didn't win are even more upset...

Holy crap, I invested so much and I didn't win! Can I get a refund?

I have to turn things around... I'm increasing my bet; if I win, I'll break even...

Therefore, with this mindset, Feng Fei believed that in the big lottery over the next few days, the number of spirit stones invested by the participants would keep doubling. By this calculation, not only would there be no loss in the seventy Flute of Space and Time, but it would be even more profitable than selling them!

Junior Brother Xinghe, you've used the Flute of Space and Time as your chessboard, and everyone else is just a pawn on it!

Junior Brother Xinghe's every imaginable move is indeed a testament to his strategic planning and decisive victory!

Chu Xinghe had no idea what strategic planning or winning a decisive battle meant, nor did he know if others were merely pawns on his chessboard. All he wanted to do right now was die...

I feel like I'm the chess piece on the board, okay?

I just wanted to be taken advantage of... What did I do wrong?
