"Congratulations, you won! First prize!"
At the lottery booth on Commercial Street, the clerk looked enviously at the man in front of him. The man wore sunglasses, pulled the hood of his tracksuit over most of his face, and had a missing ear.
Just a minute ago, the man had spent five yuan on a scratch-off ticket and won on the first try... His five yuan had become thirty thousand yuan in cash.
Although it was a first prize, the prize money for this type of scratch-off was fixed, and the amount was not particularly large. He could cash it out directly instead of going through the trouble of claiming it somewhere else.
However, this gentleman in the tracksuit seemed to be unbelievably lucky today. After that, he bought several more tickets in a row, and every single one had a winning number.
No one had ever seen anyone so lucky. It was almost as if the Goddess of Fortune had favored him—someone could not resist starting a livestream on their phone.
"A true European!"
"He's a walking lucky god!! Whatever he scratches, he wins!"
"Let me absorb some of that luck!!"
But the lucky winner surrounded by the crowd merely lowered his head and quickly slipped away, seemingly with no intention of continuing to buy tickets... In fact, he had not won all that much money. What people were curious about was simply his incredible luck.
After ducking into the back alley behind a restaurant on Commercial Street, Liu Zixing finally lifted the hat from his head... There was no other choice. Walking around in public with one ear missing would attract far too much attention.
The cash he had just won was stuffed into his pocket. For ordinary people, it would be enough to celebrate for several days,
