Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 44 - 43: Are You Serious?
Chapter 44: Chapter 43: Are You Serious?
Wen Nan is certainly not Grandpa God of Wealth, and he isn’t a wasteful spender of money either.
He simply believes that more friends mean more opportunities.
Judging from the task settings in this trial map, although the four players are not exactly cooperating, they are definitely not in a competitive adversarial relationship either.
They were destined to meet during this newbie trial, like classmates having studied together.
Therefore, for Wen Nan, lifting a hand to help them costs him nothing.
Someday in the future, if Wen Nan falls on hard times, and just so happens to encounter them, maybe they would lend him a hand because of his current generous deed?
Of course, that’s just one aspect of it. The main thing is, Wen Nan isn’t hurting for money; giving it away to make friends doesn’t cost him much.
Wen Nan looked back and forth between Shao Ling and Huang Tao. Not only did he refrain from acting like a creditor, but he even asked with concern, "Is it enough?"
Both of them waved their hands repeatedly, thanking Wen Nan for his generosity.
It was a win-win situation; only the chubby guy was a bit unhappy—the title of the official’s one-and-only treasured grandson had been revoked, making him somewhat disappointed, and now, the special privilege of giving gifts was not so special anymore.
Feeling a bit miffed about it was inevitable.
Fortunately, his self-adjustment abilities were strong, and that negative emotion flashed in his mind and was quickly suppressed.
He was perfectly clear about his position and knew he was different from players like Huang Tao and Shao Ling who were only after one or two favors from Ye Jiu. He was determined to cling onto Grandpa Ye’s thigh for good, cementing his position as the one who holds on dearly to the big boss’s leg hairs.
So, with his spirits lifted, the chubby guy cheerfully sidled up to Wen Nan again, asking what his plans were next and suggested, "The four of us, we could form a poker table?"
Huang Tao asked how we would play cards in a dormitory that only had empty drink bottles and instant noodle containers.
At this point, the chubby guy pulled out a deck of playing cards from his pocket and raised it, saying, "I have some!"
The other three looked at the chubby guy in surprise.
These playing cards were obviously brought from the real world outside the game, but, who the heck carries playing cards around with them? Doraemon?
The chubby guy ignored the looks from the other three and walked to the table in the middle of the room, "Come on, shall we play ’Guandan’?"
Four people gathered around a table and played Guandan until half the night was gone.
It wasn’t until Huang Tao and Shao Ling were so sleepy they kept making mistakes with their cards, that the table finally dispersed.
Wen Nan glanced at the account balance, which was finally unlocked.
He went to his desk and summoned the familiar lottery wheel from the system.
9527: [Below are the player lottery rules—
1. Each draw costs the player 100 Gold Coins;
2. The player’s task rating this time is excellent, with the highest level extra rewards, no limit on the number of draws;
3. The winning rate of the wheel is one hundred percent;
4. ...]
The lottery rules were exactly the same as before, so Wen Nan glanced over them and directly skipped ahead, taking a deep breath and then clicking the start button for the lottery.
The chubby guy sat beside Wen Nan, watching the wheel spin rapidly, and kept shouting, "Gold! Gold! Gold!"
However, as the wheel stopped, a familiar shiny golden treasure chest dropped out.
[Congratulations! You’ve drawn a "White" prize—a Money Pouch!]
[Contents of Money Pouch: 51 Gold Coins.]
[Do you accept?]
Indeed, it’s another Money Pouch.
Wen Nan’s luck remained as non-existent as ever.
Once the lottery started, it couldn’t be stopped, so he quickly clicked for a second round, dropping another Money Pouch. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Wen Nan, who had long been prepared for an endurance battle, was not discouraged this time, rolled up his sleeves, and continued to draw.
After consecutively drawing 38 Money Pouches, finally—
[Congratulations! You’ve drawn a "Yellow" prize—Lubricant!]
Wen Nan: ?
This lubricant isn’t what he’s thinking, is it?
[Lubricant: For human use only, can enhance *** experience for smoother and more lasting **.]
[Do you accept?]
Wen Nan: ...
He silently clicked accept.
Here, Wen Nan solemnly declared, it has nothing to do with the item description, it’s purely because "Yellow" isn’t considered a low level.
He clicked to continue the lottery, the wheel started again, and one Money Pouch after another fell down.
After collecting another 42 Money Pouches, the treasure chest changed again—
[Congratulations! You’ve drawn a "Yellow" prize—Nylon Rope!]
[Nylon Rope: A rope made of nylon material, useful for binding in various scenarios.]
[Do you accept?]
Wen Nan: ??
The scenarios you talk about better be the normal kind that can be broadcasted.
Wen Nan clicked accept again, and restarted the wheel.
After consecutively gathering 39 Money Pouches and 2 Nutritional Supplements, a new treasure chest dropped—
[Congratulations! You’ve drawn a "Yellow" prize—A Little Whip!]
[Little Whip: 30 cm long, weighing about 600g, made of top-layer cowhide, with a scaly texture on the surface, perfect for home travel, a must-have item.]
[Do you accept?]
Wen Nan: ???
What a so-called ’must-have item for home travel,’ who takes a little whip on a trip?!
Wen Nan cursed inwardly as he clicked accept, quickly moving on to the next round of lottery.
As expected, the unexpected happened again—
[Congratulations! You’ve drawn a "Yellow" prize—Sheep|Eye|Ring!]
[Sheep|Eye|Ring: A daily item made by drying and disinfecting the upper and lower eyelashes of goats, handmade for a wide range of use, like...]
The product description was halfway read before Wen Nan closed it.
Continuing to read just seemed impolite.
He clicked confirm with a complicated feeling.
Had he poked the hornet’s nest of "Yellow" prizes? All the boxes were "Yellow" prizes?
He was seriously doubting now if the prize pool in this game was a legitimate one?
After drawing five "Yellow" prizes in a row feeling Wen Nan’s noticeably restrained actions, the chubby guy appropriately stood up.
"Well, I’m suddenly a bit sleepy, I’ll go lie down for a bit. Ye, you keep drawing."
With that, the chubby guy quickly climbed into his bed.
Leaving Wen Nan alone, sitting at the table, with mixed feelings, rolling in the "Yellow" prize pool until dawn.
Finally, an alert from the suspended light screen overhead, counting down to its last seconds, rang out in the air.
[00:00:04—]
[00:00:03—]
[00:00:02—]
[00:00:01—]
[Beep!]
[A new player task has arrived, please check it out!]
The other three roommates all got up from bed early, solemnly walking beneath the light screen, and then skillfully receiving the final task from the system.
[Main Task 3: Kneel down, call me Daddy!]
Huang Tao: ...
Shao Ling: ...
Chubby Guy: ...
Wen Nan: ...
