Chapter 362 - Rigged! (2/2)

Wasn’t everyone only supposed to have two chances to win prizes? What’s more, each person could only win the same prize once, right?

Everyone paused and immediately burst into laughter.

“Hahaha, is Brother Bao a professional tourist now?”

“His name was picked all three times?!” “My heart hurts-he’ll be gone for another half a month!”

Pei Qian turned to Assistant Xin, who said in a low voice, “Boss Pei, it looks like a bug appeared in the program…”

Once again, Pei Qian was at a loss for words.

Bao Xu, who was seated across from him, was dumbfounded. He nearly dropped their chopsticks onto the table as he quickly said, “Boss Pei! I have already gone overseas many times. I’ll pass this prize onto someone else!”

Pei Qian turned to Assistant Xin and said, “Ask the technical staff to repair the system and pick new winners.”

The program was created by the technical staff of Zhongdian Chinese Network, who quickly whipped out their laptops to repair the program.

Assistant Xin took the microphone and explained briefly that a bug had appeared in the system. She invited everyone to try the capsule machines and other games first. When they were about done, the winners for the last prize would be picked once again. Since the program had not been affected by bugs before that, the other prizes that had already been distributed naturally would not be taken back. Instead, they remained effective.

Everyone cheered, grabbed their game tokens, and started to go their respective ways

The original plan was for everyone to try the capsule machines and claw machines after all the lucky draw prizes had been distributed. Once they were more or less done, they could then make their own ways home.

Now, a minor problem had arisen in the original plan. Still, it did not pose a huge problem. The winners of the final prize would just be selected at the end of the program.

Very quickly, crowds formed at the surrounding claw machines and capsule machines.

With game tokens in hand, Wu Bin hovered behind the crowds, not knowing which game he should start with.

The plush toys in the claw machines and the little figurines in the capsule machines all looked equally good!

Obviously, these gifts had been carefully selected so that nobody would feel like they were at a disadvantage.

Ladies were hogging the various machines with many game tokens in hand. It looked like they were going to keep trying their luck at the claw machines, and every last toy had been won.

There were fewer people at the ring toss and toy gun stands since ladies did not fancy such games.

Adamant on trying his luck, Wu Bin walked towards the ring toss stand.

A waiter dressed in the hotel’s uniform was already waiting there. He greeted Wu Bin as the latter handed him a game token. Then, he passed Wu Bin one ring.

“Whoa.”

The ring was many times bigger than the ones Wu Bin was used to seeing!

Other rings were very small-more or less the size of a bracelet. Yet, this ring looked about as big as a plate.

Wu Bin could be prepared to kill himself if he missed this time.

He picked a better-looking figurine, took his aim, and then tossed the ring as well as he could!

He misaimed and missed!

Wu Bin felt light-headed. The ring was so big, and yet he still missed! How could he face his own elders?!

No way, I can’t walk away like that!

Wu Bin retrieved many more game tokens, prepared to buy more rings.

However, at that same moment, the waiter picked up the figurine and placed it inside the ring at lightning speed.

“Congratulations, Sir! You’ve got it!” “Pfft!”

Wu Bin nearly choked on his saliva. How could he do that?

Was he really moving the target based on where Wu Bin’s ring landed?

This was obviously rigged!

However, looking at the waiter’s knowing smile, Wu Bin suddenly understood what was happening. Boss Pei had set this up on purpose! Wu Bin quickly took a handful of game tokens and bought ten rings at once. Then, he tried his best to aim for any figurine he wanted.

He won something every single throw! There was no way he could not. Even when he missed, the waiter would quietly move the figurine or chibi doll into the ring.

Soon, Wu Bin walked away with his arms filled with eleven figurines and chibi dolls.

The waiter very considerately placed all the figurines and dolls into a bag for Wu Bin, so that he could carry them around easily.

Other people began to realize that their chances of winning were extremely high as well. It was almost as if they were being showered with gifts for nothing!

As long as one aimed well at the claw machine, they would win something.

Every figurine that came out of the capsule machine looked good.

Other games were based on chance, but the probability of players winning prizes was ridiculously high as well!

They were receiving so many prizes like chibi dolls, capsules, stuffed toys, pillows, and the like at absolutely no charge!

Everyone became more excited as they played. Each person carried bags of gifts, and some carried so many bags that they hardly could carry any more. Wu Bin could not help but feel emotional. It was so invigorating! Why hadn’t these mini-games felt so good before?

Soon—with everyone’s ‘hard work’, nearly all the prizes were swept clean, and nearly all the game tokens were spent.

At that moment, the names on the screen began to roll past once again. Three lucky winners were chosen.

Everyone’s hopeful gazes were fixated on the huge screen.

Chen Kangtuo. Ye Zhizhou. Bao Xu!

Bao Xu’s expression darkened.

What’s happening?! Why is this lucky draw system picking on me?! Even after redoing the lucky draw, I’m selected?!

Bao Xu quickly turned to Boss Pei. “Boss Pei, I really don’t need to go on another holiday. Give this opportunity to someone else!

“Who wants to swap prizes with me? I’ll take any prize!”

Pei Qian sniggered and shook his head. “You can’t give it up since you’ve already been selected.

“There’s still some time. Think about which city you haven’t visited yet…”

Bao Xu was speechless. “…”

Not all three winners had been sitting at Pei Qian’s table. Pei Qian guessed that this was because Tang Yishu’s halo effect had been spread out after everyone went off to play the capsule machines and claw machines—it was no longer concentrated on his table alone.

Bao Xu had not won a prize yet. Therefore, the high probability of him being selected aided him after he left the range of Tang Yishu’s halo effect. That was probably why he was selected again.

The other two had been chosen based on pure luck.

Once again, Pei Qian confirmed that Tang Yishu’s halo effect was strong and reliable.

However… it seemed like Tang Yishu herself had not won anything.

Was she destined to be unlucky no matter how the luck of the people around her changed?

That was weird. It was not what Pei Qian had expected.

However, Pei Qian did not think too much of it.

Poor child… I should give her a pay raise when we get back…
