Shi Lei was confused. Did the Scepter malfunction? He only had one chance and he used it already, so why did the Scepter tell him to draw again?
Although he wanted to and even reached out to press the button, he hesitated.
It was fine if the Scepter only malfunctioned, but what if he finished drawing only to have it say that he broke the rules? Whether it was a malfunction or not, Shi Lei didn’t have the power to make another draw. If the Scepter was going to punish him for that, wouldn’t Shi Lei be wrongly accused in the worst way possible?
He should still ask. When facing black technology that possessed super powers, it would never hurt to err on the side of caution.
Shi Lei took a deep breath and asked, “Didn’t I only have one chance? Oh, I still have two, but I have to wait until I do it with Yiyi! Don’t lie to me!”
“If I told you to do it, then do it! Don’t talk so much!” The Scepter replied coldly.
Shi Lei became even more suspicious, even taking a step back. “No, you must tell me clearly. I don’t have the guts to make the draw if you don’t. This thing affects my life!”
“You stupid marmot!” The Scepter became frustrated again. “Don’t act like this when you’re earning something from me! How can someone as noble as myself possibly scam you? I’m letting you do it because you have one more chance! No, three chances! As you said, the other two will be eligible when you do it with Sun Yiyi as per the agreement. And now, you have one more!”
“Just tell me clearly. Where did I get this chance from?” Shi Lei frowned and asked nervously.
“Stupid marmot, you are really annoying! Last time, you drew the prize that doubles your chances. Because you didn’t finish using those chances at the time and you didn’t want to proceed onto the second half of the process yourself, that card’s effects will continue until you finish drawing the prizes for the five star consumption.”
Shi Lei was shocked but quickly became overwhelmed with joy. He hadn’t expected something like this to happen and laughed loudly.
This was a bug. This was definitely a bug. Shi Lei, who had a certain understanding of computer programming, quickly understood what created it.
Because of Sun Yiyi, he gained two chances to draw prizes and the first one he drew doubled his reward. Hence, the command “double” was added to the program and would activate whenever he drew a prize. This command was obviously set when he had the chance to draw as part of the first half of the agreement and would end after he had finished the total reward of four draws.
But because the Black Card set it this way, if Shi Lei wanted the other two chances, he had to wait until after he had sex with Sun Yiyi. The time limit was one year. Because of this, the command “double” was kept. He still couldn’t use the other two chances to draw a prize at the moment, so now that he received another chance to draw, due to the existence of the “double” command, his chance was automatically doubled!
Which meant that as long as he didn’t use those two chances, every time Shi Lei received a chance to draw a prize, it would be doubled!!
Hahahaha, how could Shi Lei not be happy?
He suddenly understood why the Scepter was so gloomy when it reminded him earlier to come again at midnight!
And the entire time he was talking with it about leveling up, it had acted like an angry bird. Shi Lei knew that he hadn’t offended the Scepter, and yet it was behaving so strangely.
And now, Shi Lei finally realized why the Scepter was so irritated. It was because of the existence of this bug.
Hahaha! Shi Lei was so happy that he could die. Receiving another chance to draw wasn’t the main cause of his elation. It was the Scepter’s unhappiness! The key point was that as long as Shi Lei didn’t complete the agreement, then his chances would be doubled. Although it could only last for a year at most, it had only been two months, and Shi Lei had already gained three chances. There were ten months left. During these ten months, if Shi Lei gained another three or four chances, then he could have double that amount!
“So you were angry because of this!” Shi Lei stopped laughing crazily and teased the Scepter.
The Scepter was helpless and could only clench its teeth. “Hurry up and draw the prize, you stupid marmot!”
Alright, the Scepter’s vocabulary was really limited. Saying “chipmunk” was definitely exceeding that limit.
Shi Lei tried to contain his laughter and smashed the button on the screen. Then he pressed it again.
This time, the needle gradually stopped and a shocking scene occurred. Another burst of crazy laughter exploded in the self service bank.
Except this time, it wasn’t Shi Lei who was laughing, but the Scepter.
“Hahahaha, stupid marmot! You thought you received another chance to draw a prize! Hahaha, you idiot! You drew Ancient Times’ Martial Arts again! Hahaha, this, at most, doubles the chances you can be possessed by a martial arts master per month. Hahahaha, congratulations! Now you have four chances to be possessed by a martial arts master! Hahaha, this noble Scepter is about to die from laughing!”
Shi Lei felt as if he had been struck by lightning and was on the verge of a breakdown.
What the hell!? What kind of luck was that? Picking the same grid twice?
No, Shi Lei wouldn’t let it go easily. “No! This won’t do!” He yelled hysterically. “This doesn’t count! I already drew this option, so you should take it away and replace it with another one, according to the rules. But you didn't!”
The Scepter suddenly stopped laughing. It was indeed a problem. The Black Card’s prize-drawing system made it so that the prize that was drawn had to be replaced.
But a moment later, the Scepter burst into a fit of laughing that was even more violent than before.
“Stop laughing!” Shi Lei yelled furiously. “What the hell are you laughing about? Why are you laughing this time?!” Shi Lei thought that he had found a loophole and could draw again, but now that the Scepter was laughing like that, he knew it was a bad sign.
“According to the system, after the level two employee drew the option of ‘Ancient Times’ Martial Arts,’ this option would be deleted and replaced by a new, random option. But the level two employee’s luck really is amazing, and after it was randomized, the same card appeared. Hence, what the level two employee drew this time abides perfectly by the rules,” The Scepter explained in between laughs.
Shi Lei’s face turned dark. Was his luck supposed to be considered unbelievably good or unbelievably bad? Although he didn’t know how the system randomized it, the Scepter said that it didn’t break any rules, so it shouldn’t be a lie. The Scepter couldn’t lie, meaning that Shi Lei could only accept this outcome.
“Stop laughing! Why are you so happy? I have ten months left to gain more chances and have them double. Hmph, I don’t believe that I will be this…er…lucky every time!”
The Scepter suddenly stopped laughing again. Shi Lei only lost one chance to draw a prize. He would have more in the future.
“Anyways, at least you didn’t get anything useful this time!” The Scepter managed, with difficulty, to laugh again.
