528: Chapter 527 Lucky Koi for the New Year! A Double Success!

"The past is the past, the present is the present!"

Ma Jinlun shook his head with a wry smile.

His voice was tinged with helplessness.

"Last year, it was my great-grandmother watching over me from above; out of the whole country, only two spots were drawn, and both managed to land on me."

"But who can be lucky for their entire life?"

Though he said that, the way Ma Jinlun stared fixedly at the screen betrayed his true inner thoughts.

Ever since Ma Jinlun was hailed as the "Moon-Landing Koi" last year and sent to the moon by the Xuan-Nu Fighter Jet, the gears of his life had started to turn.

After returning from the moon,

he leveraged that phenomenal popularity to start gaming livestreams on the Douyu platform, using his old Alipay username "Little Sima" as his ID.

With the blessing of his "Koi" luck,

he relied on his masterful "Ma-style Triangle Kill" Lee Sin signature move,

and quickly became a household name.

In just a few short months, he had become a red-hot streamer across the entire platform, with monthly gift income consistently reaching seven figures.

The current Ma Jinlun was certainly not lacking in money.

However, the Kunlun Generation II Exoskeleton Armor, especially that beta testing ticket to the "Nanke Dreamscape," was something that money simply could not measure.

As one of the very few ordinary people on Blue Star who had personally experienced the military version of the "Kunlun" Exoskeleton Armor and ridden the "Xuan-Nu" Aerospace Fighter to the moon, Ma Jinlun knew better than anyone just how mind-blowing the new technological achievements led by Chief Designer Lin really were.

Missing the first batch of beta tests for the "Nanke Dreamscape" was, to him, far more than just a simple regret.

"Stop thinking about it, let's leave it to fate."

Ma Jinlun forced down the turmoil in his heart, patted the back of Zhang Xiaoya's hand beside him, and comforted her with a feigned air of relaxation.

"Besides, Chief Designer Lin said there will be a lottery every month from now on, and at most, there will be a public beta for everyone within a year, so it's no big deal if we get in a little later."

"Mm…"

Zhang Xiaoya nodded gently, but the disappointment in her beautiful large eyes could not be hidden.

Just then,

the host's voice on the television suddenly rose.

"Dear viewers!"

"The exciting moment is here!"

"The list of the first ten million winning users has been finalized!"

"The system is sending notification text messages to the winning users' mobile phones one after another; please pay attention and check them!"

The moment the voice fell,

Ma Jinlun and Zhang Xiaoya's hearts jumped into their throats at the same time.

The two of them simultaneously picked up the phones on the coffee table and stared fixedly at the screens.

Time ticked by second by second.

One minute… two minutes…

The living room was terrifyingly quiet; they could only hear each other's increasingly heavy breathing.

Ma Jinlun's heart sank little by little.

Indeed, a one-in-a-thousand probability was still too low.

Did the "Koi" halo finally have a time when it failed?

He was just about to open his mouth to comfort Zhang Xiaoya, who was on the verge of tears beside him,

when his phone suddenly vibrated with a "ding!"

Ma Jinlun shuddered.

He pulled out his phone almost reflexively.

On the screen,

was a text notification from [Huaxia Future].

[Respected Mr. Ma Jinlun, congratulations! You have successfully obtained the first batch purchase qualification for the Kunlun Second Generation Civil Exoskeleton Armor (Space Exploration Edition - Top Configuration)! Please log in to the "Huaxia Future" APP within 24 hours to complete the payment. If payment is not made within the time limit, it will be deemed as an automatic waiver of the qualification.]

Ma Jinlun looked at every word in the text message.

His mind went blank.

"What's wrong? Old Ma, did you win?!"

Seeing that his expression was off, Zhang Xiaoya hurriedly leaned over.

"I… I won…"

Ma Jinlun's voice was floating.

"Top configuration, Space Exploration Edition!"

"Ah!!!"

Zhang Xiaoya instantly burst into a shrill scream.
