Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 7: From Now On, Get Rich!
Pushing open the shop door, although it was still early, there were already two or three customers sitting there studying.

Lu Chen casually walked to the counter, where there were various scratch-off lottery tickets.

"I'll buy two scratch-off tickets to try, boss!"

Seeing that no one was at the counter, Lu Chen yelled.

"coming!"

A response came from the inner room.

The door was pushed open, and a girl of similar age to Lu Chen walked out, with a very capable figure.

The two of them were stunned for a moment when they saw each other.

"Lu Chen?"

"Deng Jiajia? What are you doing here?"

Deng Jiajia closed the door behind her and laughed, "Shouldn't I be asking you that? What are you doing here?"

He pointed behind him and said, "This is my family's shop."

"Your shop."

Lu Chen was quite surprised.

The girl in front of him was also his classmate, but she transferred from Jiangdu No. 3 Middle School to another school two years ago.

I never expected to run into you here today, and I never expected to buy a lottery ticket at my old classmate's house.

"You came to buy lottery tickets so early in the morning?"

"Yeah, give me two scratch-off tickets, how much?"

Which one do you want?

"Anything is fine, as long as it has the highest prize money."

Deng Jiajia pulled out two scratch-off tickets: "Here you go, the top prize is 100,000 yuan, 21 tickets."

Lu Chen: "Only 100,000? That's so little?"

Deng Jiajia chuckled: "Old classmate, you're so arrogant! You think 100,000 isn't enough?"

Lu Chen chuckled: "Alright, 100,000 it is, let's give it a try."

Deng Jiajia chuckled: "Look at you, acting like you've already won. If you really do win, I'll refund you the money you spent on the scratch-off ticket, consider it my treat."

Lu Chen waved his hand: "No, no, no, I'll pay for it myself."

After paying, Lu Chen took the scratch card and immediately sat down to scratch it with coins.

The game is very simple: if you collect three "发" characters on a card, you can win a prize of 100,000 yuan.

Collect two and you'll receive a prize of 50,000 yuan.

If there is only one, then the amount of money corresponding to the character "发" will be awarded as prize money.

Deng Jiajia watched as Lu Chen scratched the card.

"So, is there any writing on it?"

Two-thirds of it was scraped off.

The character 【发】 is nowhere to be found.

Lu Chen clicked his tongue: "That shouldn't be the case, there shouldn't be none at all?"

Deng Jiajia chuckled: "It's normal that there aren't any. If every single one had one, the company would have gone bankrupt long ago."

"No rush, there's still one last word to scrape off!"

Lu Chen took a deep breath and slowly scraped away the last square.

As the characters reveal their strokes.

Deng Jiajia's body, which had been relaxed, suddenly tensed up.

"Hmm, this last one looks a bit like it!"

Lu Chen's heart was also racing.

He continued scraping slowly.

When half of the lettering is scratched off.

Deng Jiajia exclaimed, "So alike! So alike!"

Hearing the commotion, the other customers in the store all rushed over.

With a forceful scrape, Lu Chen completely removed the last of the paint, revealing the words.

"Wow, this is really delicious!"

"I won! I won! A thousand yuan!"

"Lu Chen, you're amazing! You were right on the very first one!"

Both Deng Jiajia and the customer were quite excited.

Lu Chen, on the contrary, was somewhat disappointed.

"Only a thousand yuan."

"Isn't a thousand yuan enough?" Deng Jiajia said with a playful laugh.

"Yeah, twenty dollars for a thousand, kid, you're really lucky."

Lu Chen took a deep breath and picked up another card: "I hope this one is better."

Deng Jiajia: "You've already won one and you still want to win another? Old classmate, if you can really win two, I'll have my dad put up a banner for you."

Lu Chen: "You said it yourself."

Deng Jiajia patted her chest and said, "I said it."

"Okay! I'll give it a try!"

Lu Chen picked up the coin and continued scratching.

I just scratched open the first square.

A bright and clear character, 【发】, immediately caught my eye.

Corresponding amount: 5000 yuan.

"Fuck!!!"

“Another hit!!!”

"You got lucky on the first one! Young man, your luck is incredible!"

The surrounding customers were stunned.

Even Deng Jiajia's eyes widened.

"That's incredible? No way, could it be..."

Only then did everyone realize what was happening and they all looked at Lu Chen.

"Blessings from the God of Wealth?"

Lu Chen made a "shh" gesture, signaling everyone to be quiet. Those around him tacitly kept their mouths shut and continued to watch.

As the second card was scratched halfway through, the character "发" (fa, meaning "to prosper") appeared.

"Hit again!"

"Another one!"

"Damn, I got 50,000!"

"Young man, hold on! One more time and you'll have a fortune! That'll be 100,000!"

The people around exclaimed excitedly.

Lu Chen shouted, "Send it!"

The people behind them shouted in unison, "Send it!"

When all the remaining paint has been scraped off.

Everyone took a closer look.

But then he exclaimed, "Oh dear!"

"Still a bit unlucky."

"Yes."

The third character, 【发】, did not appear.

"That's alright, fifty thousand."

"Yeah, winning second prize is incredibly lucky."

"Handsome guy, were you blessed by the God of Wealth? Which temple, which God of Wealth is so effective?"

The surrounding customers couldn't help but inquire.

Lu Chen reached out to stop the group's enthusiasm and said with a smile, "Everyone, I'll buy two more tickets. If I can get three of them, I'll tell you where to worship. If I can't get any, it means that fate is hard to defy."

"OK, no problem."

"Jiajia, hurry up and get two more tickets for your old classmate."

Deng Jiajia said "Oh," and took out two more scratch-off lottery tickets from the counter, exclaiming, "Lu Chen, what kind of deity did you pray to? It's so effective!"

It's not uncommon for people in their shop to win thousands of yuan; some even win tens of thousands.

But this is the first time I've ever won a second prize.

The key point is that this person was a former classmate of mine.

Lu Chen just smiled.

If he really told these people that they were worshipping the God of Wealth, I wonder what their expressions would be.

Lu Chen took the scratch card and was about to scratch it again.

Suddenly, it twitched unexpectedly, as if it had lost something invisibly.

"This is... a loss of fortune."

Lu Chenfu arrived with a heart full of joy.

Although the God of Wealth said he would be blessed with two days of good fortune.

However, this fortune is not actually calculated based on time, but rather on the "amount" of fortune itself.

Yesterday it was 15,000, and now it's 51,000.

Lu Chen has already earned over 60,000 through the blessing.

Clearly, much of their financial luck has already been depleted.

"Alright, let's keep up the good work and go all out!"

Lu Chen scratched the third card.

Everyone stared wide-eyed.

As the paint was scraped away little by little.

"I won! I won again! I've won again!"

"Damn, two more have been blanched!"

"There's hope! This time there's a real chance of getting three!"

"You're amazing, handsome! Another guaranteed second prize."

Seeing Lu Chen score three consecutive goals, he was incredibly brave.

The customers behind them were all excited.

There are only three paint compartments left.

Lu Chen took a deep breath: "Don't rush, everyone stay quiet!"

Everyone immediately covered their mouths and stared wide-eyed.

Lu Chen scratched the first one, but there was nothing there!

I scratched open the second one, but still nothing.

"Oh no, we're doomed, there's only one left."

"You have to prove yourself this time!"

At this moment, time seemed to slow down, and the air seemed to freeze.

Lu Chen closed his eyes: "Whether I live or die, it all depends on this!"

He scraped it open forcefully.

"I won!!!!!"

"Three fires!!!!"

However, the first response he received was the hysterical, excited screams of several men behind him!
Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

In the last section, the character "发" (fa) stands tall and upright!

"Holy crap! It really is the jackpot! The jackpot has been won!"

Deng Jiajia felt her head buzz.

Their store has produced a jackpot winner for the first time ever!

"Young man, your God of Wealth is amazing! Now can you tell us where to worship him?"

"Yes, share it quickly! Which temple?"

Lu Chen gave an OK sign: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll definitely tell you. But please allow me to finish scratching the last one."

With 150,000 yuan in hand, Lu Chen felt much more relaxed than before.

After all, this money was definitely a considerable windfall for him!
