224: Jealousy makes people unrecognizable

Another social butterfly couldn't suppress their curiosity, walked straight up, and asked the only "person in the know" at the scene:

"dude, what is a Golden Ticket?"

"Oh, you mean that? That's a surprise event specially held by Lego headquarters to reward players worldwide. It's just that the quantity is limited; I don't even know if there are twenty of them in the world."

"Are the prizes for this event very generous? Why are you and the shop assistants so surprised?"

After coming back to his senses, the man noticed that the gazes of the people around him were fixed on him, their eyes revealing curiosity as they waited for his explanation. The man's vanity swelled a little.

Clearing his throat, the man then proceeded to explain to the few people gathered around with the air of one "showing off in front of others":

"Besides winning the Golden Ticket, whether the prize is rich or not actually depends on the winner's luck.

Because the prizes for these tickets are all the Lego sets currently on sale from a major series.

If you're lucky enough to draw the [star wars] series, which has over a hundred types of sets, including the most expensive UCS series, it's worth at least one or two hundred thousand.

If you're unlucky and only draw a standard introductory series, it's only worth around ten thousand."

"So that's how it is."

After hearing the man's explanation, the people around generally understood what the Golden Ticket was.

However, after knowing, they became even more curious about which series the Golden Ticket in Ye Su's hand could actually be redeemed for.

"Looking at how calm that person is, I guess they probably drew a small series."

"Probably. If it were me, and I had drawn a popular series worth tens of thousands, I would have jumped for joy long ago; I wouldn't be standing there chatting slowly with the shop assistant."

The onlookers who said this naturally wouldn't admit that they actually didn't want to see someone be so lucky and win a big prize in front of them.

As for the other shop assistants, after hearing the commotion on this side, those who had nothing on hand also flocked over.

"So this is the Golden Ticket the manager talked about!"

At the same time, the manager heard the commotion and came out to receive Ye Su:

"Hello, I am the manager. You are Mr. Ye, right?"

"Yes."

Ye Su smiled and shook hands with the manager.

"Could you please let me verify the Golden Ticket first?"

"Of course." Ye Su handed the Golden Ticket directly to the manager.

The manager took the Golden Ticket, placed his phone against it, and an interface immediately popped up on the screen.

[Verification Successful!]

[Congratulations, you have won a complete set of [star wars] Lego!]

"star wars!"

The shop assistants craning their necks nearby saw that not only did Ye Su win the Golden Ticket, but he also won the most popular [star wars] series. Their eyes were instantly filled with envy as they looked at Ye Su.

They, of course, all knew that this series of Lego could sell for at least around two hundred thousand.

That was equivalent to more than a year's income for them!

Being handsome and rich was one thing, but even his luck was this good!

Sure enough, money always flows into the pockets of the rich in various ways!

Not to mention the shop assistants, even the manager, after confirming that the Golden Ticket in Ye Su's hand was genuine and had won the [star wars] series, looked at him with undisguised envy.

A complete [star wars] series!

Even among veteran Lego players, very few people could collect the entire series!

"Did I hear that right? He won the most expensive [star wars] series!"

"This luck is simply heaven-defying!"

"That guy just said a whole [star wars] series is worth one or two hundred thousand!"

Hearing the shop assistant say that Ye Su had won [star wars], the onlookers in the store erupted. The looks they gave Ye Su were filled with nothing but envy and jealousy.

"This luck is just too heaven-defying!"

"Another two hundred thousand!"

"What do you mean, another two hundred thousand?"

"When I was scrolling through short videos, I saw in the comments section that a while ago, Guangzhou Hui held a lucky draw, and someone won the grand prize, which was a 200,000 dongdong e-card."

"No way, that actually happened!"

"Damn it, there are so many people winning big prizes, why can't I be one of them!"

Upon hearing this news, the onlookers wailed, so jealous they were practically falling apart.

Little did they know, the number of people winning big prizes wasn't actually as "many" as they imagined.

"Mr. Ye, it's like this." After regaining his composure, the manager explained to Ye Su:

"We currently don't have a way to assemble the entire [star wars] series in our store. Some out-of-stock toys need to be transferred from other locations by headquarters. Would you like to take a portion now, or wait a few days until headquarters transfers all the stock so you can take it all at once?"

"I'll take half now, and for the rest, I'll come back to pick it up once you've gathered all the stock."

Ye Su hadn't planned on moving the entire series all at once anyway.

With over a hundred boxes of Lego, it would be tough for him to move them all at once by himself.

"Okay." The manager used his phone to scan the QR code on it, verified the Golden Ticket, and then handed it back to Ye Su:

"You can keep this Golden Ticket as a souvenir."

Being able to keep the Golden Ticket was great.

If he met a collector who wanted it, he could probably sell it for another thousand or so.

"Thank you." Ye Su didn't hesitate and took the Golden Ticket.

Then, under the envious gazes of the crowd, Ye Su picked out sixty boxes of Lego of various sizes, which almost piled up into a mountain of toys.

In the end, with the manager's help providing two carts for moving goods, they managed to load the sixty boxes of Lego onto the carts.

"Mr. Ye, once the remaining Lego sets arrive, I will contact you."

"Thank you, Manager."

"You're welcome, this is what we should do."

After exchanging pleasantries, the Female Sales Clerk who had been serving Ye Su for the past two days volunteered to help Ye Su push the toys to the parking lot and helped load them into the trunk.

The remaining part that couldn't fit was piled onto the back seat.

After much effort, the two of them managed to stuff all sixty boxes of toys into the car, using the Audi A6 like a cargo van.

"Thank you. If you hadn't helped, I don't know how long it would have taken me to move them by myself."

"You're welcome."

The Female Sales Clerk had originally wanted to take the opportunity to add Ye Su on social media.

But when she thought of the beautiful woman who had come with Ye Su yesterday, who was surely Ye Su's girlfriend, the Female Sales Clerk, knowing she couldn't compare to Chen Xinyi, had to give up that idea.

"Haha, Mr. Ye, don't mention it. Just remember to look for me next time you come to our store."

"No problem."

After the polite pleasantries, Ye Su drove off and left Jiajia Plaza.

With so many Lego toys, it was obviously impossible to put them in the house where he lived.

So Ye Su had to take everything to the house he had rented privately, and then use a handcart to transport the toys upstairs in several trips.
