2: Chapter 2 Daily Intelligence System

"I possess a system that only a novel protagonist would have?" Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment, then struggled to contain his inner excitement.

He actually had a system that supposedly leads one to the pinnacle of life and allows one to marry a wealthy, beautiful woman.

Uh! That last part isn't necessary.

After all, his wife is quite good.

Although she isn't some wealthy, beautiful campus belle, she is petite and cute, can be salty or sweet, and most importantly, she can even do roleplay.

Tsk tsk!

Thinking back to how, because he lacked connections and resources, the promotion opportunities that should have been his were given to others, but now...

So what if he lacks connections or resources? He can still reach the pinnacle of life.

Following the knowledge instilled in his mind, Chen Sheng silently thought "System," and a transparent light screen, which supposedly only he could see, appeared before his eyes.

host: Chen Sheng

Level: 1

Upgrade Experience Points: 0 / 100

Unread Intelligence Count: 2

Once the light screen expanded, Chen Sheng, still following the strange knowledge in his mind, lightly tapped the intelligence section with his finger, and lines of text immediately appeared before him.

【Daily Intelligence 1: The welfare lottery shop located at 58 Simaqiao Street will scratch out a 200,000 prize today; this prize comes from a 'Lucky Ten Times' lottery ticket.】

【Note 1: This intelligence is valid until 12:15 PM; after 12:15 PM, this intelligence becomes void.】

【Note 2: This intelligence is a beginner's bonus intelligence.】

【Daily Intelligence 2: Qicai Technology boss Lai Yong and his Sister-in-law Qiu Guilan are currently staying at the Fulong Hotel, which is located at 98 Yongshun Street, Wuhou District, Shu City.】

【Note 1: Includes the phone number of Lai Yong's wife, Qiu Guilan: 158xxxxxxxx.】

【Note 2: This intelligence is valid for 2 days; after 2 days, this intelligence becomes void.】

"F*ck!" After reading the intelligence, Chen Sheng couldn't help but curse out loud.

Nothing else! Qicai Technology is exactly the company he was at... no, his former company.

Lai Yong, that Lai Gouzi, is his former boss.

He had previously said he'd run off with the bucket, but it turns out the guy is still in Shu City, and most crucially, the intelligence shows he has to stay in Shu City for at least two more days.

"What a damn good case of being hidden in plain sight." Chen Sheng gritted his teeth while simultaneously entering 58 Simaqiao Street into the car navigation system. "Just you wait for me. Once I get the big prize, I'll settle the score with you properly."

Chen Sheng checked the time; it was nearing 10:30, and the screen showed it would take nearly an hour to get to 58 Simaqiao Street. Chen Sheng hurriedly started the car; he didn't dare to delay even a bit, fearing that if he went too late, that winning lottery ticket would be bought by someone else.

Along the way, Chen Sheng absolutely brought out the highest level of driving skill of his career, weaving left and right. He didn't know how much verbal abuse he received, but he finally successfully arrived outside the welfare lottery shop located at 58 Simaqiao Street at 11:37:43.

Since today was a workday and it was nearing lunchtime, there was no one in the shop except for the owner. Seeing this, Chen Sheng quickly caught his breath to make himself look less 'rushed,' and only then did he walk into the shop at a steady pace.

"Handsome Guy, playing scratch-offs or picking numbers?" The owner saw a customer enter the shop and greeted him lazily.

"I'll take a look first." Chen Sheng first scanned the environment inside the shop, and finally, his gaze settled on the counter. The scratch-off lottery tickets were arranged by category inside the counter, with denominations ranging from 10 yuan to 50 yuan.

Very quickly, he discovered his target in the middle.

Chen Sheng pointed his finger at the 'Lucky Ten Times' in the counter and asked the owner, "Boss, help me see how many of these 'Lucky Ten Times' are left?"

"Handsome Guy, you've got a good eye; this is one of the best-selling lottery tickets in our shop." The owner took out all the 'Lucky Ten Times' from the counter, and after counting them, said, "There's only this half-stack left in the shop; stock will only be replenished in the afternoon."

The owner pointed his finger at the lottery tickets next to them and continued, "This is the newly released 'Koi Fortune.' They're having a promotion right now: win 1,000 and get 1,000 free. Do you want to try this one too?"

"I'll play this one first." Chen Sheng grabbed all the 'Lucky Ten Times' tickets in his hand, counted them quickly, confirmed there were 20, and after confirming the quantity with the owner, quickly pulled out his phone to scan and pay 400 yuan.

There is a little trick here: generally, when scratching lottery tickets, you should pay first and then play to avoid disputes if you win a prize afterward.

There have been reports before of someone scratching a million-dollar prize at a lottery shop, but because they hadn't paid beforehand, the lottery shop owner directly reneged, saying the person hadn't paid and the ticket didn't count.

Even if it eventually went to court, the owner would latch onto the point that the customer hadn't paid and forcibly tear a huge chunk of meat out of the customer's hands.

Therefore! Paying in advance is very necessary.

After paying, Chen Sheng grabbed the tickets and the scraper and found a random seat to sit down.

Before coming, he was solely thinking about rushing to the destination before the intelligence deadline, but now that the tickets were in his hands, Chen Sheng suddenly felt inexplicably anxious and hesitant.

What if the so-called intelligence system is just a joke?

For example, a hallucination caused by excessive pressure from being unemployed?

That's 400 yuan, after all; these 400 yuan of secret savings, every cent is blood and tears.

"Hoo..." Taking a few deep breaths to calm his mood, Chen Sheng picked up the scraper and prepared to scratch the tickets.

For 'Lucky Ten Times' lottery tickets, as long as the numbers scratched out in the scratch area match the winning numbers area, you can win the amount under the corresponding number; you can win multiple prizes, and the top prize is 500,000.

The first ticket: the winning numbers scratched out were 11 and 18.

Subsequently, he scratched open the entire scratch area and then looked for 11 and 18 among the pile of numbers.

"None!"

Alright! Apparently, he didn't have the luck to win the big prize on one ticket.

After checking all the numbers and confirming he didn't win, Chen Sheng threw the ticket aside and continued to scratch the second one.

The second ticket's winning numbers were 23 and 34; comparing them with the numbers in the scratch area, there were similarly no matching numbers.

The third ticket, still nothing.

The fourth ticket finally won, but unfortunately, it was only 20 yuan, just breaking even.

"As expected, my hand is as dark as ever." Chen Sheng couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Because An Xiaonuan likes playing scratch-offs, and with no money-devouring beasts like children or mortgages, the two would occasionally buy some lottery tickets while out for a walk after dinner, just as a meager contribution to welfare causes.

The investment was already uncountable; the biggest and only income was when they had just graduated, winning five hundred.

Chen Sheng used the five hundred from the prize plus two thousand three from his card to buy a ring, successfully winning the beauty's heart.

He originally thought it was the beginning of a dream, but it turned out to be a glorious end.

Perhaps because he had won the beauty's heart, from then on, the highest prize the two won every time they played scratch-offs was less than one hundred, which led to the current situation where Chen Sheng only enters a lottery shop when accompanying An Xiaonuan.

Anyway, he won't go in alone now.

Very quickly, the fifteenth ticket had been scratched; 300 yuan invested, 80 yuan won. If there was no big prize, it would be another day of losing his shirt.

The sixteenth ticket.

Before scratching, Chen Sheng similarly prayed in his heart once, "This one must have the big prize."

He scratched open the lottery ticket, revealing the winning numbers 19 and 42, and subsequently, he quickly scratched open the area below, but this time he stopped halfway through.

The position where the scraper stopped was exactly 42, and the amount below was 200,000 ¥.

Chen Sheng blinked his eyes hard, and after confirming he hadn't misread, he swallowed hard, and then a sincere smile appeared on his face, "It's in the bag!"
