Chapter 78 One Hundred Million

Listening to his words, Xia Wanqing recalled carefully.

It was true; Xia Wanrou had been dependent on her since they were children.

She wanted to share everything with her,

and she never fought her for anything.

When she had said those words back then,

her eyes were sincere, without the slightest hint of reluctance.

Thinking of this,

the grudge in the depths of her heart instantly vanished into thin air,

and her sense of guilt disappeared without a trace,

leaving only a heart full of bashfulness and a hidden sense of relief.

【System Notification: Detected Xia Wanqing's current favorability: 90. Both sisters' favorability has reached 90 points. Reward: Lucky Wheel Spin Opportunity ×2!】

Just as the cold system notification finished echoing in his mind,

a virtual screen that only Lin Chen could see popped up before his eyes,

its light soft yet exceptionally striking.

In the center of the screen,

a vibrantly colored circular wheel was slowly floating,

with six colored segments clearly demarcated,

though various amounts were mixed and arranged multiple times throughout.

They were printed with the words 10,000, 100,000, 1 million, 10 million, 100 million, and 1 billion,

each number marked in bold, gilded font, dazzling enough to make one's eyes blur.

Lin Chen suddenly clenched his fists,

his throat bobbing unconsciously,

his tone filled with unbelievable ecstasy,

as he lowered his voice and let out a curse:

"Damn!"

"Isn't this just a pure lucky grand wheel?"

"System, you really know how to play!"

He leaned forward slightly,

staring fixedly at the numbers on the wheel,

his fingertips trembling slightly,

muttering incessantly under his breath,

as if cheering himself on, or perhaps talking to the system:

"Winning money based on luck?"

"The highest prize can actually be one billion?"

"Am I seeing this right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but click his tongue,

the expression on his face slowly shifting from shock to disdain,

his lips curling:

"Shit!

"I used to think ten thousand yuan was a lot,"

"but looking at the numbers on this wheel now, never mind ten thousand,"

"even a hundred thousand doesn't seem that appealing anymore!"

These words were sincere.

In the past, he had to budget carefully for just a few hundred yuan in living expenses,

but now, with a reward of up to one billion sitting in front of him,

ten thousand yuan indeed seemed insignificant.

He took a deep breath,

suppressed the agitation in his heart, and raised his hand,

lightly making a gesture of spinning a pointer in the air,

his tone carrying a hint of tension:

"Spin for me! It has to be the grand prize!"

"Luck, you better come through for me!"

Following his movement, the pointer on the wheel instantly seemed to have its acceleration button pressed,

spinning at high speed as a 'whooshing' blur swept across the screen,

the six values churned into a mass of blurred colors,

without a single outline being visible.

Lin Chen held his breath,

staring at the pointer without blinking,

his palms sweating as he chanted in his heart:

"Slow down, slow down, don't stop on small change,"

"Go for ten million, one hundred million!"

After a moment, the pointer's speed gradually slowed,

the range of its rotation getting smaller and smaller,

the blur slowly becoming clear,

approaching the numbers below bit by bit.

Lin Chen's heartbeat also slowed along with it,

his heart thumping violently,

almost jumping out of his throat.

Finally, the pointer's speed dropped completely,

it wobbled and came to a steady stop in the 100,000 yuan segment.

The expression on Lin Chen's face faltered for a moment,

not overly surprised, nor overly disappointed.

He just let out a soft sigh of relief and patted his chest:

"Not bad, not bad, not too much of a loss."

"There's still one more chance!"

"This time I'll definitely hit something bigger!"

Not daring to delay, he raised his hand again,

waving it in the air even harder than the last time,

his tone becoming even more urgent:

"One more time! This time it has to be a hundred million! A hundred million is fine, but ten billion would be best! Please!"

The pointer spun rapidly once more,

and this time, Lin Chen watched even more intently than before,

his eyes fixed on the pointer, his brow furrowed tightly,

muttering prayers non-stop,

his body unable to resist leaning forward slightly,

wishing he could press his face against the virtual screen.

The pointer gradually decelerated,

first sweeping past the 10,000 segment,

then quickly gliding past the 100,000 segment,

slowly entering the 1 million segment's range.

Lin Chen's heart instantly leaped into his throat,

his eyes wide as saucers as he murmured:

"Stopping here is fine too, one million isn't bad..."

But the pointer didn't stop,

it only became slower and slower,

approaching the edge of the 100,000 segment bit by bit.

Lin Chen's heart sank along with it,

a hint of disappointment appearing on his face,

as he let out a soft sigh, his tone full of regret:

"Sigh, what a pity, it almost stopped on one million?"

Just as he finished speaking, the pointer gave another slight turn,

instead slowly crossing the line of the 100,000 segment,

moving toward the adjacent 100 million segment.

At this, Lin Chen's spirit instantly surged,

his disappointed expression swept away,

light reigniting in his eyes,

his mouth hanging slightly open, almost crying out in surprise,

before he quickly covered his mouth, afraid of being noticed by others.

The pointer was still moving slowly; with every tiny increment it moved,

Lin Chen's heart rate quickened by a notch,

he bit his lip hard,

the sweat on his palms soaking his clothes as he screamed in his head:

"Stop!"

"Stop already!"

"Just stop right here!"

Finally, the pointer gave one last wobble,

and came to a steady stop in the 100 million segment, motionless.

"Holy shit!"

"I hit it!"

"I won one hundred million!"

Lin Chen could no longer hold back,

trembling all over with excitement,

his hands clenched into tight fists,

the smile on his face impossible to hide.

His eyes were filled with wild joy and disbelief,

and he nearly jumped for joy.

Right then, the system's notification sounded in his mind again,

clear and loud:

【Congratulations Host, you have won a total of one hundred million and one hundred thousand yuan (100,100,000 yuan) from two spins!】

【100,100,000.00 yuan has been deposited into your bank account ending in XXXX. Current account balance: 102,618,122.80 yuan.】

Hearing this, Lin Chen froze instantly,

the wild joy on his face slowly turning into deep emotion,

he slowly unclenched his fists,

his eyes filled with sighing sentiment as he murmured:

"One hundred million... I've finally become a rich man with a nine-figure bank balance!"

He leaned against the wall,

calming the excitement in his heart, thinking to himself:

One hundred million in cash,

this is no joke,

this is a genuine leap in social class!

Many people seem rich and might have fixed assets worth hundreds of millions,

but those who can actually produce this much cash are very few.

Moreover, people with over a hundred million in cash are even rarer than phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh again,

the smile at the corners of his mouth impossible to conceal,

his tone full of pride:

"From now on, I'll never have to worry about money again. I'll eat whatever I want,"

"buy whatever I want, and I'll never have to look at anyone else's face again!"

He eased his excited yet happy mood.

Lin Chen noticed that the still-dazed Xia Wanqing had already relaxed somewhat,

his eyes full of pride,

he lowered his head and gave her a light kiss on the lips,

this kiss was gentle and lingering,

carrying a bit of comfort and a bit of possessiveness:

"Alright, don't overthink it. Let's go,"

"Wanrou is really waiting anxiously."

Xia Wanqing nodded gently, her cheeks still flushed red,

her eyes carrying lingering blurred confusion and bashfulness,

obediently letting Lin Chen lead her by the hand,

the warm touch from his fingertips,

causing a throb of emotion in her heart.
