Looking at the content of the text message, Chu Yu was surprised and had to sigh at Luo Shishi's magical power. However, Chu Yu thought about it and began to worry. Since Luo Shishi knew that he had come to the empire and knew Wang Hao's mobile phone.
Does the number mean that he and his group are under their surveillance? Thinking like this, Chu Yu took the phone and told Wang Hao and others the content of Luo Shishi's text message.
"What does this bitch want to do?" After Chu Yu finished speaking, Wang Hao put down his chopsticks and said, "She is from Qisehua, and we are enemies rather than friends. I think it is probably not a good thing."
"What if she is lonely?" Li Ge took a sip of milk at the side, his mouth full of foam: "Most people look down on women like her, but maybe they have fallen in love with Brother Yu. This is the rhythm of asking for a meeting.
"
As soon as Li Ge's words came out, not only Chu Yu frowned, but also Cao Huiti glared at Li Ge: "Li Ge, if you do this again, don't blame me for being rude to you."
"Brother Cao, you still want to deal with me now? Let's wait until your injury is healed." Li Ge chuckled, no longer poor in speech, and said to Chu Yu seriously: "You ask her what she has first.
It’s okay.”
Chu Yu hummed and replied with a message, and soon Luo Shishi's text message came back. Chu Yu frowned at the content of the text message, and then said to Wang Hao and others: "She asked us
careful."
"Let us be careful?" Wang Hao was confused: "What? The colorful flowers are going to deal with us?"
"Who else besides Qise Hua?" Li Ge said and glanced at Cao Huiti: "Since Qise Hua has taken action against the Cao family, and Brother Yu is still killing Bai Zizai, their forces in the empire may not let us go."
"It seems that it's not safe for us to live here." Wang Hao continued what Li Ge said: "I'm looking for a house today. Let's rent a two-bedroom apartment."
Chu Yu said hello, and with his cell phone in hand, he sent a message to Luo Shishi. He asked Luo Shishi what he was worried about, but this time he sent the message but did not get a reply. Chu Yu thought about it, and he
I wanted to call him, but in the end I gave up the idea. Luo Shishi must have a reason for not replying to the text message, otherwise she wouldn't have sent her a message.
Putting the mobile phones back in their pockets, the four of them continued to eat. After finishing the meal, today's affairs were arranged. Cao Huiti continued to stay in the hotel to recuperate, Wang Hao went out to look for a house, and Li Ge and Chu Yu went out for a casual walk.
Let's see if we can find a job. After all, the four of us have to live in the empire. They need money for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, even if they go to the Sin Domain to get information.
After clearing the dishes, Chu Yu, Wang Hao and Li Ge went downstairs together. When they came downstairs, Wang Hao, Chu Yu and Li Ge separated and walked north with a map. Chu Yu and Li Ge walked south.
After taking two steps, Chu Yu noticed something and turned around. He glanced upstairs at the hotel where he was staying and found that Cao Huiti was standing by the window looking over. He waved to Cao Huiti, and Chu Yu took him with him.
Li Ge continued walking on the street.
The sun was hanging warmly in the sky, and people were coming and going on the street. Chu Yu and Li Ge were not in the mood to enjoy the scenery on the street. They walked aimlessly. In Chu Yu's opinion, Nancheng was similar to Phoenix City, with many tall buildings.
, mixed with some low-rise houses, and some advertisements for waiters posted in front of some restaurants. The two walked for a while, and Li Ge frowned: "Brother Yu, this is not the way for us to continue like this."
"Then you can think of a way to come up with it?" Chu Yu, who already had an idea in mind, said with a smile.
After hearing Chu Yu's words, Li Ge thought seriously: "It depends on what kind of job we are looking for."
"What do you mean by this?" Chu Yu was stunned.
"It's not enough to live a serious life. We can't earn a few gold coins even if we work hard for a month." Li Ge said for a while: "I would like to do something risky."
"Exchanging lives for money?"
"Not really." Li Ge frowned: "I couldn't sleep last night and I studied the biographies of celebrities in the empire and found that many of the rich and powerful people in them followed crooked ways. This is the principle of seeking wealth through danger, right?"
Chu Yu hummed. He took out the map and looked at it twice. Then he smiled at Li Ge and said, "I have a way here, but I don't know if it will work in the empire."
"What way?" Hearing Chu Yu's words, Li Ge asked in surprise. After saying that, he suddenly turned to look at the intersection - at the intersection in front, there was a store. There was a group of people surrounding the store entrance. They were holding hands.
Everyone was holding money and squeezing into the store door with different expressions.
"This is where lottery tickets are sold?" Looking at the lottery store, Li Ge looked at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu nodded, and Li Ge pulled Chu Yu toward the store door: "Let's go, I'll buy two bets too, bang bang luck."
Seeing Li Ge's curious look, Chu Yu did not hit him, but just followed Li Ge to the lottery betting station. When he arrived at the lottery betting station, Li Ge asked the price. When he saw that it was ten copper coins per bet, he took one.
A silver coin, ready to buy ten bets, while Chu Yu stood at the door and watched.
A ragged old man appeared in Chu Yu's sight. The old man came to the betting machine. The clerk at the betting point took a look at the old man and punched out a set of numbers for him.
Holding the number in his hand, the old man looked at it several times, then carefully took out a handful of copper coins, counted ten coins and handed them over. Chu Yu could see clearly that there were three copper coins left in the old man's hand. Looking at the old man's
Chu Yu frowned. Looking at the old man's clothes, it seemed that he could hardly eat a meal, but he still bought lottery tickets? Seeing Li Ge waiting in line, Chu Yu became curious about the old man in front of him. The old man passed by Chu Yu.
At that time, Chu Yu took out a cigarette and handed it over and asked: "Old man, everyone else reports numbers, why don't you choose a set of numbers yourself?"
The old man glanced at Chu Yu and was not angry because Chu Yu blocked his way. After taking the cigarette, the old man first put the cigarette under his nose and smelled it. When Chu Yu handed over the lighter, the old man took it and lit it.
After taking a sip, the old man said: "I chose the numbers myself because I always buy lottery tickets here. They know which set of numbers I want. So, as long as I come, they will give me the numbers I chose before.
Knock it out."
"According to you, the numbers you choose are the same every time?"
The old man smiled: "Yes, they are all the same. I have bought lottery tickets with this set of numbers for forty years, and they have come every week for forty years." The old man said and looked at the lottery tickets.
The lottery man said: "Spend ten copper coins every week to buy a hope."
After hearing the old man's words, Chu Yu quickly calculated in his mind, there are fifty-two weeks in a year, forty years is twenty-eighty weeks, ten copper coins per week... Looking at the old man's tattered clothes, Chu Yu's
His face was full of shock. He was shocked that the old man could persist for so many years: "Have you ever won a prize?"
Seeing Chu Yu ask this, the old man suddenly became embarrassed and murmured: "I never won. Once, there was only one difference between the big prize and the number I chose."
"Then why don't you change the numbers?"
The old man shook his head firmly: "I never thought about changing."
Chu Yu frowned: "I've heard of the empire's lottery industry before, and today is the first time I've seen it. Don't be offended if I'm wrong." Chu Yu glanced at the old man's expression as he spoke, and saw that he nodded.
He continued: "In my opinion, the probability of the set of numbers in your hand appearing is extremely low. Why not change the set of numbers to change your luck?"
The old man smiled, and after taking a puff of his cigarette, he said, "If I change a set of numbers, wouldn't the probability remain the same?"
Chu Yu didn't know how to answer. In his opinion, the old man was in ragged clothes and looked haggard. Although he didn't have much money to buy lottery tickets every week, he kept buying them week after week, and he accumulated a lot of money from buying lottery tickets over the years.
It's not a small sum. He can actually use the money to buy himself a pair of clothes to protect himself from the cold, or to have a full meal.
What Chu Yu didn't understand even more was why he would stubbornly repeat the same set of numbers and never change them. This was definitely not a wise move in Chu Yu's opinion. Looking at the old man, Chu Yu didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.
Li Ge had already arrived in front of the betting machine and was reporting the numbers. After the old man finished smoking a cigarette, seeing that Chu Yu was silent, he took the initiative and said, "You must really want to know what kind of numbers that is, right?"
"
Chu Yu nodded: "I'm a little curious."
The old man took out the lottery ticket he bought, and there was a trace of blush on his face. He looked down at the lottery ticket and said to Chu Yu in a low voice, which was a little shy: "This set of numbers consists of the birthday of my first girlfriend. Every week I
Whenever I come here to place bets, I will think of her." The old man said, looking at the distant sky: "Thinking of her makes my heart warm."
"What about the day when the lottery is drawn? Will you feel sad when you know you didn't win?"
The old man smiled again, and some of his teeth had fallen out: "No. Because I didn't win this lottery, I can buy a new lottery ticket right away, and hope will grow again." The old man said and looked at Chu.
Yu said: "I am very poor. You don't know that in the empire, the hope of the poor is very limited. I can buy a week of happiness with such a small amount of money. This kind of opportunity, in this world,
It’s really not much.”
The old man said, stroking a set of numbers on the lottery ticket with his hand: "This set of numbers entrusts my memories. If the set of numbers I chose wins the jackpot, she will definitely notice it, because it is her birthday."
At this point, the old man's face showed a hint of cunning, as if he had been rewarded: "If she knew that someone won the prize on her birthday, do you think she would be curious about who won the prize? She will be able to see it then.
My name." The old man said and put the lottery ticket back into his pocket: "She will understand immediately that I have never forgotten her in this life, and I have so much money, she may come to me..."
After saying that, the old man glanced at Chu Yu, gave Chu Yu a friendly smile, then turned around and walked away slowly.
Looking at the back of the old man, Chu Yu was silent on the spot. It was Li Ge who came back to him and called out before he came back to his senses. Looking at Chu Yu who was deep in thought, Li Ge asked aloud: "What's wrong? Are you with me?"
What did the old man say?"
"Nothing, just a casual chat." Chu Yu replied with a hint of bitterness in his heart. After saying that, he looked at the lottery ticket in Li Ge's hand, made a few jokes and rushed towards his destination——
The place Chu Yu was going to was the largest perfume mall in Nancheng, and the person he was looking for was the boss behind the mall. As Li Ge said, wealth can be found in danger, so Chu Yu decided to use his own skills to make money in the empire first.
The first pot of gold.
Arriving at the shopping mall called Xiangpiao Wanli, Chu Yu saw a dazzling array of perfumes and various cosmetics for girls. After finding the security staff of the shopping mall, Chu Yu went up to inquire about something and looked at Chu Yu and the security guards.
During the conversation, Li Ge was confused. He couldn't figure out what Chu Yu was doing here.
"You liar!" The security guard pushed Chu Yu after hearing what Chu Yu said: "Where do you come from and where do you go? You can meet the boss whenever you want?" Looking at Chu Yu's dress, he looked down upon others.
said.
"As long as you tell me where your boss works, he will know if I am a liar when he sees me."
"Do you believe I can arrest you with just one phone call?" The security guard looked disdainful: "Let me tell you, I have seen many salesmen like you. You have perfume? Do you think I'm crazy?"
Chu Yu frowned and looked at Li Ge who came to him. Just when he was about to leave, a woman looked at Chu Yu from the second floor and shouted: "Hey, what are you arguing about?"
The security guard looked up and saw an unknown woman, so he ignored her.
Looking up at the bejeweled woman, Chu Yu showed a smile on his face: "I'm here to sell perfume."
"Oh?" the woman said and looked at the security guard: "Let him come up. If anything happens, I will explain it to your boss."
"Who are you? We can't just let him in."
"Who am I?" Hearing the security guard's question, the woman smiled and said, "Your boss and I are friends."
"It doesn't matter if you are a friend. The company has regulations and unknown persons are not allowed to enter without permission." The security guard frowned.
"Forget it." Chu Yu glanced at Li Ge: "Since we can't enter this place, there will always be a place for us to go." After saying that, Chu Yu smiled at the woman, turned around and left with Li Ge.
.
As soon as the two of them arrived outside the shopping mall where fragrance spreads thousands of miles away, they heard a voice from behind: "This is the first time I've seen a man selling perfume. Let me see your perfume. If it's good enough, I'll pay a big price for it."
Exit. If you are liars, I guarantee you will not be able to leave Nancheng."
