Chapter 2: Mystery Prize – Ten Free Lucky Draws!
Ling Yue extended her hand, trembling.
As her finger hovered in mid-air and touched the cold orange button, the large wheel began to spin clockwise with a whir!
It started fast and then slowed down.
The pointer slowly came to a halt on the purple triangle: [100x Cash Back].
Immediately after, a line of small text appeared below, like an instruction manual: "Complete 1 payment, and the cash back will be automatically deposited into your bank card. Please rest assured that all income will be reasonable and legalized."
Ling Yue licked her dry, tear-stained lips and bit down hard!
"Hiss, that hurts!"
The wheel in front of her disappeared; only her wild heartbeat and the pain in her lip proved that everything just now wasn't fake.
"Complete 1 payment, is it?"
"That means I need to spend money."
"Right."
"The tissues at home are out, so I might as well buy some on Pinduoduo."
If it was a prank, she wouldn't lose out, since these were things she needed anyway.
Besides, tissues were cheap; even without the cash back, it wouldn't significantly shrink her current savings.
She casually picked a brand of tissues, entered her password, and placed the order.
Buzz buzz buzz!
[Bank card ending in 4456: On January 26 at 12:32, an expenditure of 59.9 yuan occurred. Balance: 5430.1 yuan.]
The next second.
Buzz buzz buzz!
[Bank card ending in 4456: On January 26 at 12:32, a transfer income of 5990 yuan was received. Balance: 11420.1 yuan.]
"It's real!"
"59.9 yuan times 100 in cash back... that's exactly 5990 yuan!"
Ling Yue's eyes turned red with excitement!
"Wait..."
"The messages that popped up just now said: resentment value."
She remembered seeing that when the resentment value reached 100%, a message appeared saying '1' lucky draw chance, and then the resentment value reset to 20%.
So, every time the resentment value reached 100%, she would get 1 lucky draw chance, and then the resentment value would reset.
Ling Yue felt like she had uncovered the truth.
She was no longer troubled by the pain of her illness or the despair of seeing through her family; her only focus was to try accumulating resentment value.
Now there was one more question: was the resentment value collecting her own resentment, or someone else's?
"Makka Pakka, Akka Wakka, Mikka Makka, Moo!"
Her phone vibrated wildly in her palm.
Caller ID: Ling Hui.
Ling Hui, her younger brother by the same parents.
Just as she was feeling sleepy, someone handed her a pillow; wasn't this the perfect test subject?
Ling Yue pressed the answer button.
"Ling Yue, are you crazy! Hurry up and recall the group messages! It's just 80,000 yuan, is it really worth making such a big deal out of it!"
Ling Hui demanded sharply from the other end.
Ling Yue was prepared and retorted calmly: "If 80,000 yuan isn't a big deal, then why don't you pay me back.
You can't even afford your own bride price and you steal my hard-earned money; you're trash. You might as well stay a bachelor until you die. Doesn't your conscience hurt from ruining some poor girl's life?"
[resentment value: 24%]
Ling Yue almost shouted out in excitement.
The voice on the other end sounded irritable: "I'm your brother, what's wrong with using a little of your money? When did you become so petty?"
Ling Yue looked at the report in her hand. "That's right, you're my brother. So, can I cut out the tumor in my stomach and feed it to you? Since you like drinking my blood so much, you should probably like eating the meat from my tumor too.
You're not answering, are you too scared to eat it? You're my own younger brother! If you don't even dare to eat the meat from my tumor, and are being this petty, do you even deserve to be my brother!"
[resentment value: 32%]
Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, Ling Hui simply changed the subject: "Ling Yue, do you really have to be so sarcastic? Mom has been angered to the point of fainting! Do you have any heart at all!"
"Ling Hui, you are absolutely despicable! Mom fainted from exhaustion trying to scrape together money for your bride price, and yet you still have the heart to argue with me! It seems you don't care about Mom's life at all; in your heart, money is your real mother and father!"
[resentment value: 40%]
Ling Yue's sallow face flushed with excitement.
She felt great after scolding him; clearly, this wasn't absorbing her own resentment value.
Therefore, the resentment value came from the other person!
That made things easier.
After a few rounds, Ling Hui realized that his previously gentle and affectionate sister seemed to have suddenly turned into a different person, with words so sharp that he had no idea how to respond.
Seeing her precious son losing round after round, Guan Xuemei, who had been groaning on the sofa, couldn't keep up the act anymore. She snatched the phone and unleashed a furious tirade:
"Ling Yue, you're wishing for my death, aren't you!
Are you even my daughter anymore? Do you even deserve the surname Ling? You're pushing your mother to death over a little bit of money!
You know I don't get along with your Aunt and the others, yet you instigated them against me.
Will you only be satisfied if I'm angered to death today!"
She experienced the delight of having no inhibitions.
Ling Yue got back into the zone quickly: "Stop talking about being angered to death at every turn. Can't you have a smaller temper and save my brother some worry?
He's about to get married, and if you get angered to death, do you want him to observe mourning for three years?
If you don't want to take care of your grandchild, just say so."
[resentment value: 78%]
Whoa!
Is this what soaring resentment looks like?
It seems that angering Guan Xuemei is more profitable than angering Ling Hui!
"Huff, huff, huff!!!"
Heavy wheezing came from the other end of the line.
For a moment, Guan Xuemei's mind went blank.
She had never been retorted to so directly by Ling Yue before.
Her lips quivered for a long time, but she simply didn't know how to respond.
Just as she organized her thoughts and prepared to speak again—beep.
The call was hung up!
[resentment value: 93%]
[resentment value: 100%]
[Lucky draw chances: 1]
[resentment value: 11%]
Guan Xuemei's eyes were bloodshot, and she was hysterical: "She dared to hang up on me! Call! Call her again!"
Ling Hui called back.
Clack!
It was hung up.
He called back again.
Clack!
It was hung up again.
Finally, Ling Yue simply set her phone to silent.
[resentment value: 22%]
[resentment value: 34%]
[...]
[resentment value: 46%]
Watching the numbers rise, Ling Yue giggled.
So, anyone who has nowhere to vent their anger will generate this much resentment!
So satisfying, too satisfying!
The main thing is that she gained another lucky draw chance!
No, she couldn't help it: "Hahahaha!!!"
The demonic laughter echoed through the hospital corridor.
"Mom, is this person crazy? One moment crying, the next laughing."
"Wuwuwu! Mom, there's a weird big sister here, she wants to bite me!"
The child's mother rushed over and hugged the child away. "That big sister has been driven crazy by anger! Let's go, stay away from her."
Ling Yue awkwardly scratched her neck. "Cough, cough, cough."
It seemed she had been a bit too exaggerated.
Ling Yue jogged all the way to the restroom and opened a stall.
She locked the door firmly.
Small space, no one around, safe!
Amidst the bombardment of smells from the neighboring stalls, Ling Yue silently recited the words 'lucky draw' in her heart.
A large wheel appeared out of thin air, and the orange button below showed: [Lucky draw chances: 1]
Oh ho ho~~~
Ling Yue pressed the orange button hard.
Her finger touched the cold panel, and the orange button sank in half an inch.
The wheel spun quickly clockwise!
Ling Yue stared intently, watching the pointer go from fast to slow.
"100x, 100x, 100x!"
Ding—
The pointer hovered on the silver triangle: [Mysterious Prize]
Mysterious prize? What kind of thing is that?
Ling Yue rubbed her hands in anticipation.
As a few small fireworks burst, a redwood treasure chest appeared before her eyes.
She tapped the redwood treasure chest lightly.
The chest shook a few times, very coquettishly, as if it were being teased.
As the chest opened, a card popped out from inside.
The card hovered above the wooden chest, with a few red characters on it: 10 Lucky Draw Chances Card!
Below, there were two options: 'Use', 'Don't Use'.
!!!!
Is it what she thinks it means?
Use, use, use!!
The large wheel appeared again.
Orange button below: [Lucky draw chances: 10]
Ling Yue gasped with excitement.
Ugh!
Good grief, she almost sent herself to the afterlife.
While being gagged by the foul odor, she clicked the orange button.
The large wheel spun with a creaking sound~~
Under Ling Yue's expectant gaze, the pointer finally stopped on the purple triangle: [100x Cash Back]
"Hahahaha!"
The laughter was a bit boisterous.
The person in the next stall was so startled they cut off their stool, and a resentful voice came through the partition: "Sister, are you panning for gold in the poop? Can you stop laughing? I'm a little scared."
Ling Yue hurriedly covered her mouth.
She had forgotten she was in public.
"Sorry, uh, go ahead, continue!"
"I've been constipated and finally managed to squeeze one out, wuwuwu..."
"No, why are you crying?" Ling Yue said, panicked but sincere: "Should I compensate you with a bottle of glycerin enema?"
"Get out!"
"Sister, I've never dealt with this kind of thing either, what do you suggest? Sister, sister?"
Why wasn't the person next door talking anymore?
Forget it.
She'd better go.
She was afraid the person next door would rush out and strangle her.
Ling Yue ran out of the restroom at top speed.
She couldn't be this emotionally expressive in the future; it was too easy to be mistaken for a lunatic.
But who could hold back on something like this!
Thinking this, Ling Yue found an empty seat and sat down.
She had to hurry and scrape together the medical expenses.
She opened Pinduoduo.
She typed into the search bar: Luxury goods!
A 16.9 yuan LV bag... a 168 yuan high-imitation Van Cleef & Arpels?
What kind of junk is this!
She exited.
She reopened Taobao.
She typed into the search bar: Luxury goods.
Filter: 9000-11000 yuan range.
The first product that appeared: Prada leather phone bag.
Price: 9600 yuan.
Tsk tsk tsk, so expensive.
Buy!
Buzz buzz buzz.
