Grabbing a red envelope worth 100,000 yuan is exciting, exhilarating, and awe-inspiring.

Getting two is awesome, amazing, crazy, and exhilarating.

But the third, fourth, fifth... 16, 17, and 18th.

I'll start to feel scared and my hands will shake.

So many large red envelopes were scrolling by in a long row that it was harder to grab them than to receive them.

I just finished grabbing one and hadn't even had a chance to say thank you or report my win when another red envelope popped up.

The group of five hundred people was like a giant dragon awakening.

Besides those who entered the tower at the exact time, everyone outside the tower, regardless of what they were doing, picked up their phones and joined the group to check.

Once they checked it, they couldn't pull it out anymore.

Because the number of random red envelopes is only 18, many people who are not fast enough will miss out and can only admire the "glorious" achievements of others.

Normally...

Slow hand speed is acceptable.

It's just a group red envelope, how much money could it possibly contain?

The meager Point were divided into dozens of random packages, and everyone was so enthusiastic that in the end, even grabbing 0.01 yuan wasn't enough to cover the electricity bill for their phones during that period.

But right now.

A daily package worth 100,000!

Anyone who is slow to react will lose at least several hundred dollars.

I missed out on hundreds of millions by rounding up.

Anyone who stopped to nod didn't have time to open the next red envelope.

Soon everyone understood, and without saying a word, they frantically tapped on the red envelopes.

Even some intelligent people have started using high technology.

After all, most of the people in this group are "smart people".

Half an hour later.

Jia Zixin sent out a total of 20 full-amount red envelopes.

Someone in the group quickly announced the number "2 million".

The screen was filled with bright red, making everyone participating in this red envelope rain feel slightly cold and their scalps tingle.

Words of gratitude filled the air.

Even Chen Hansheng and Mi Lailai were alerted and came out to express their gratitude.

Chen Hansheng: "Thank you for the red envelope, Mr. Jia! I've received 888! It seems Teacher Wang's benefits are pretty good!"

Mi Lailai: "Why do I only have 112 points? No way, Xiao Jia, you have to make up for it with a private gift!"

The next second.

Mi Lailai: "I'm not kidding, how come you actually sent it? @Jia Zixin sent me 100,000 yuan separately, how much did you earn? I'm a little jealous!"

The group chat was filled with screams and howls.

"Little Jia, no, Brother Jia, Grandpa Jia, Daddy Jia! Please, please open a few more random packs! My reflexes are too slow, I really can't get any!"

"There are 20 red envelopes in total, with 18 envelopes in each category. That means at most 360 people can get one each time. Besides, some people are using cheats to grab them repeatedly, so there will definitely be many people who don't get one."

"I suggest the group admin kick out all the tech-savvy members!"

Chen Hansheng: "Everyone's grabbing red envelopes is just for fun. Since we're all old colleagues, let's not use those high-tech methods, okay?"

The boss of Universal Love spoke up.

Some people who repeatedly grab the item or manage to grab a large sum of money will eventually find it hard to hide.

He stepped forward and said, "Sorry, I grabbed too many at once. Let me send a gift too as a token of my appreciation."

The person who spoke sent out a red envelope containing several thousand yuan, which was then divided into one hundred portions.

This red envelope stayed in the group for more than a second.

It took almost half a minute to collect them all.

Some latecomers managed to snag a late-night snack.

I was just about to happily offer my thanks.

One after another, the bright red ones started rolling around again.

Everyone clicked on it.

The number of random packets displayed this time is:

The number of people who have already grabbed a red envelope is on average double digits higher than the previous 100 red envelopes.

The person who previously grabbed 15 Point got several hundred from this red envelope.

The person who previously managed to grab 0.1 yuan in this red envelope ended up grabbing over 10,000 yuan.

Full!

And one for everyone!

Group member. "..."

"Father Jia is so powerful and domineering!"

"Thank you, Mr. Jia!"

My God, another 20 super-sized packages in a row!

"Did no one leak this time?"

"That's outrageous! Someone managed to snatch over 10,000 yuan worth of 500 random packs? Did they step in dog poop?"

"What happened? I was sleeping soundly and was suddenly woken up by a barrage of red envelopes!"

"Brother, sleeping has made you miss your chance to get rich."

"I'm so excited! I've never grabbed a red envelope like this before! My hands are shaking!"

"Is there anything else? Mr. Jia, perhaps you could take a break and let me clean up this mess? It's almost done."

"I'm numb!"

My mom asked me why I was kneeling while using my phone.

"..."

The vast majority of group members were engrossed in this red envelope extravaganza.

Among those intelligent people who were dismissed, some were amazed, some regretted their decision, some were envious, and some pleaded for forgiveness.

In addition, there are those who ask cautiously or offer sarcastic advice.

Several people even left the group without saying a word.

They probably aren't very old.

But a similar voice began to emerge from among the remaining people:

"How much money did Jia Zixin actually make?"

Everyone is curious.

How much money do you need to squander like this, giving away red envelopes?

"If I remember correctly, this time it was Jia Zixin and Song Ping'an who went into the tower with Teacher Wang."

"I arrived late, but I did a quick calculation and it must have made several million in such a short time, right?"

"Do I even need to calculate the full-amount package? 40 packages for four million!"

"God, tonight is terrifying! This is the first time in my life I've ever seen anything like this!"

"Speaking of which, it seems someone just left the group? Does that mean Boss Jia won't be able to send out the round number 100,000 red envelopes?"

"What's the group owner doing? Hurry up and invite more people to fill the group!"

"Yes! Such slow movements are delaying Boss Jia from distributing 100,000 packages!"

"The two people mentioned above can go to the finance department to settle their salaries tomorrow, hehe. Group admin Chen Hansheng"

Chen Hansheng, unusually, cracked a joke, "I'll spare your lives for Boss Jia's joyous occasion today."

"What? Mr. Jia is overjoyed?!"

"What? Mr. Jia got married??"

"What? Mr. Jia is pregnant??"

Everyone was overwhelmed by the red envelopes.

They played, laughed, and fooled around without any restraint.

At the food stall, Song Ping'an, who was almost full, looked at Jia Zixin was glowing.

He shook his head speechlessly.

It's wonderful to be young.

He spent four million just for a moment of pleasure.

Indeed, youth is wasted without youthful exuberance.

He stood up, patted Jia Zixin was engrossed in the group messages, and gestured for him to take his time and go home first.

Then I went to the robot cashier at the food stall to pay for my meal.

The Yoruichi Point total of 595 points.

Normally, Song Ping'an would never be willing to host such a huge banquet.

They wouldn't even participate in such dinners.

That's terrifying! Even splitting the bill is too expensive!

But today, he can.

Because there were more than 90 million in personal accounts.

He just snagged tens of thousands of yuan worth of those 500 limited-time offer packages in the group chat.

That's right.

He was the lucky guy who managed to snag over 10,000 yuan worth of tickets with only 500 available.

They robbed so much money.

It shouldn't be a problem to spend a tiny bit of money to treat the restaurant owner who gave out red envelopes to a late-night snack.

My wife shouldn't be angry.

Thinking of this, Song Ping'an quickened his pace to get home.

He suddenly felt emotions that were not appropriate for someone his age and status.

I want to jump.

I want to jump.

I want to cheer.

I want to laugh out loud.

I want to roll around in the snow.

I want to scream at the edge of a cliff.

I want to hug my wife and kids and spin them around the house.

They wanted to use piles of Fuel Card as firewood.

At this moment, Song Ping'an seemed to recall the taste of his youthful recklessness.
