99: Sorry, offal is not for sale today.

...

Half an hour later, Chen Kai walked slowly into an office building.

Looking at the plaque of the Jiangnan City Welfare Lottery Center, he couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

Scoring a Bargain was one thing, but he had never been this formal before, having to go to a designated place to redeem prizes and pay taxes.

After all, ninety percent of people might never have the chance to set foot inside the main entrance of this Welfare Lottery Center.

There weren't many people in the office, just a few staff members sitting at their posts, looking rather desolate.

Chen Kai walked quickly to a Counter and locked eyes with the young lady on the other side.

"Hello, I'm here to redeem a prize. I won 150,000 on the Football Lottery."

The young lady behind the Counter with cold, clear eyes raised an eyebrow, "Please show me the lottery ticket."

"Okay."

Chen Kai took out the well-preserved lottery ticket from his pocket and slid it through the glass window of the Counter.

"Can I get the money for this right now?"

The young lady behind the Counter examined the lottery ticket carefully and showed a slightly surprised expression.

Hearing Chen Kai's question, a sorry smile appeared on her cold face.

"I'm sorry, sir. It has to go through tax deduction calculations first. Please leave your contact information and show your ID. I will register it on my end, and the prize money, after tax deductions, will be transferred to your account within three days."

Chen Kai nodded. He hadn't expected it to be so troublesome; he couldn't just take the money and leave.

He took out his ID card and Bank card, left his contact information, and after confirming that the money would arrive within three days, he slowly stood up and walked outside.

The whole process took less than twenty minutes, which was relatively efficient in comparison.

At least they didn't ask a bunch of questions and waste an hour.

Walking out of the Sports Lottery Welfare Center, he sat on his little electric donkey and checked the time; it was already past one o'clock. He thought carefully and called the buyer from Idle Fish using the number left in advance.

"Hello, I'm the one selling the jersey. Can I go to the agreed location now?"

A pleasant female voice came from the other end of the line, "Yes, you can come over. The address is my shop. Just come in and find me."

"Okay, I'm heading over now."

Chen Kai acknowledged and hung up the phone. He copied the address sent by the Idle Fish buyer into the map and rode his Electric Scooter slowly toward it.

In less than a ten-minute ride, Chen Kai parked his vehicle in front of a storefront.

He looked at the plaque, [Xiaofan Jersey Collection Club].

This was also a second-hand jersey dealer, well... a slightly more high-end second-hand signed jersey dealer.

He took the signed Real Madrid No. 7 jersey out of the food delivery insulation box, draped it over his arm, and walked quickly into the room.

As soon as he entered the shop, Chen Kai was stunned by the numerous signed jerseys on the wall.

There were also full-team signatures from Blue Moon and Barcelona teams.

A woman wearing a JK skirt was sitting in front of the Counter; she looked slightly familiar, but he couldn't quite remember her.

"Hello, I'm the one from Idle Fish selling the signed Cristiano Ronaldo jersey. Please check it."

He walked quickly to the Counter, placed the jersey on the tray, and carefully examined the woman who was buying the jersey.

This woman's looks were not bad; if a perfect score was one hundred, she could probably score a 93 or 94.

She could compete with the looks of Liu Yunshang and Tang Yunshu, but her figure was hard to see since she was sitting in a chair, and he couldn't exactly stand on tiptoes to check her out.

"Okay, let me check."

The woman wearing the JK outfit stared at Chen Kai's face for a full dozen seconds before lowering her head as if nothing had happened.

She picked up the jersey and casually checked the signature.

Less than two minutes later, she nodded, "I'll confirm receipt then. The jersey is fine, it's very authentic."

"Can we exchange contact information? You can sell good jerseys to me in the future."

A trace of something unusual flashed in the woman's cold eyes as she displayed her WeChat QR code.

Seeing this, Chen Kai couldn't really refuse. Who knew if the next intelligence might involve Scoring a Bargain on another jersey or something?

He took out his tri-fold phone and scanned the woman's QR code.

"Added. Remember to click confirm receipt."

"Okay."

Chen Kai nodded, exited WeChat, and checked Idle Fish. As expected, the money had arrived and could be withdrawn at any time.

He walked out of the shop, quickly withdrew the money, returned to WeChat immediately, and clicked on his balance. A smile he couldn't suppress curled uncontrollably at the corners of his mouth.

"It's already 1.4 million. Once the lottery money arrives, it will be 1.5 million."

Unfortunately, the lottery didn't count toward the system's total Scoring a Bargain amount, and neither did the Mercedes-Benz GLE; only selling second-hand cars counted.

He was still about 600,000 to 700,000 short of the first million-level intelligence, which he could achieve in less than half a month.

He exited WeChat and checked the time; it was two-thirty. It was time to go Score a Bargain on some bezoar.

Chen Kai got on his Electric Scooter and accelerated toward the vegetable market.

After he left, the woman sitting in the storefront accepted his friend request and added a note.

【Brother Chen Kai】

Her cold eyes revealed a hint of tenderness as she stared unblinkingly in the direction he had left.

...

An hour later, Chen Kai arrived at Xushui Vegetable Market. After parking his Electric Scooter in a random spot, he dove headfirst into the market.

"My goodness, there are so many people in this vegetable market."

Chen Kai was immediately dumbfounded. A vegetable market at three in the afternoon, and there were still this many people?

There were quite a few Old Men and Old Women carrying vegetable baskets, shopping.

He quickly locked onto three beef stalls among hundreds of stalls; without exception, there were many people buying meat in front of them.

He walked over quickly and discovered that at one of the beef stalls, they were butchering an entire ox on the cutting board.

"Fresh grass-fed beef! Raised by ourselves, affordable price! Beef is 45 per jin!"

The boss waved his butcher knife, skillfully separating the joints between the ox bones, while shouting energetically.

Quite a few Old Men and Old Women were queuing in front of the stall, chatting and laughing while praising the boss.

"You can tell this is grass-fed beef, it's really good! At forty-something per jin, it's much cheaper than other markets! Give me two jin of beef brisket."

"Boss, your knife skills are quite good, so practiced?"

"Oh my, this technique, cutting up an ox in minutes! If my daughter wasn't still young, I would have wanted to recruit you as my son-in-law, hahaha."

Chen Kai took one look and immediately joined the queue in silence.

There were quite a lot of people; it wasn't easy to make a move. There were more than ten Old Men and Old Women in front of him, and people kept coming over one after another.

"How much is the Tripe per jin?"

"How much is the beef offal per jin? It wouldn't be the same price as the beef, would it? I wanted to buy some beef intestines for my grandson to eat!"

"What's there to eat with beef offal? Might as well buy meat. The meat here is really cheap, and it's grass-fed ox. I really Scored a Bargain today."

"My grandson just loves eating Tripe; young people have picky tastes."

The butcher knife in the boss's hand paused, and he suddenly laughed a bit embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, but the beef offal is not for sale today."
