Chapter 415 Going around in circles and coming back again
"The Chen family relies on the bodyguard team to escort the bodyguards, and including other miscellaneous family properties, it may not be possible to earn 300 million gold even if it takes a year."
"But what about Brother's Tianqibao Pavilion? From the opening to now, in less than an hour, more than 300 million gold coins have been made in net profit, which should far exceed the economic lifeline controlled by the elders of the Chen family.
"
"System Spirit, you've crashed again? Come out and give me an explanation!"
…
However, no matter how Chen Shen shouted, the spirit of the system never solved his doubts.
Fortunately, the mask on the young man's face concealed his expression at this moment.
Otherwise, those guests who came close to him would be shocked by his dark complexion...
Second floor, left wing.
The mysterious weapons refined by Shun Lao are also selling like hot cakes.
"I want this mountain-breaking axe. I've been searching for a low-grade Xuan-level axe-shaped weapon for many years, and now I finally found one that suits my taste, hahaha..."
"Huh? There are actually shields for sale!"
The second elder, Chen Qibing, said with excitement on his face: "I want this middle-grade Xuan-level shield!"
Speaking of which, among the many mysterious skills that Chen Qibing has in the Chen Family Library, the one he is best at is a low-level mysterious skill called "Shield Control Cangyuan". Unfortunately, he has never found a mysterious skill that is highly compatible with this mysterious skill.
shield.
Just because shield-type mysterious skills are so rare, the vast majority of mysterious weapon masters will not waste time, effort and materials to forge a shield, let alone one above the mysterious level...
After everyone had swept away all the hard goods such as Xuan Dan, Xuan Talisman, and Xuan Bing, none of the six thousand guests left. Instead, they rushed to the second and third floors to taste Xuan food.
Fortunately, Ling'er used a week's preparation time to make enough mysterious food and hid it in the space mysterious ring, so it would not spoil.
Whatever the customer ordered at this moment, she would take out a ready-made portion from the Space Xuan Ring, then heat it up in the pot.
If not, Xuanshi for thousands of people, even if this girl has divine blood and can cook Xuanshi far faster than Xuanshi masters of the same level, will definitely not be able to satisfy the ordering needs of so many people.
As Chen Shen said before, today is the opening ceremony of Tianqibao Pavilion, and every hour, he will hold a lottery.
Under the reminder of Xiang Nanren, the general manager of the Department of Affairs, Tianqibao Pavilion’s first prize was officially launched.
Chen Shen had to put aside the task of "the economic lifeline of the Chen family" and organized the lottery event himself.
He first passed the glazed box to the hands of the guests, allowing them to turn the paper with the number inside according to their own preferences.
When no more guests had any doubts, Chen Shen took back the glass box and asked Xiang Nan to roll up his sleeves, put his hand in and grabbed a handful of notes, and lined them up on the mahogany table in the middle of the hall.
The reason why Chen Shen didn't draw the numbers himself was because he was afraid that after he rolled up his sleeves, some interested people would notice something strange——
He is only fifteen or sixteen years old, his skin is relatively delicate, and the bones of his arms and wrists are also different from those of adults. How can this match his status as an "old senior" as a four-star Xuanwang?
"Everyone, the first prize will be opened first, the winning prize will be second, and the last prize will be opened next. Which one do you want to open first?"
As soon as Chen Shen finished speaking, the crowd of guests exploded: "The one on the far left!"
"No, no, no, the middle one!"
"In my opinion, the third one from the right is better!"
…
The guests rushed to express their opinions.
Even though they are all powerful people, they usually carry their own money, but once their own interests are involved, and the interests are huge, these people are no different from hawkers on the street.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as Xia Yuanlong, Xia Caiyue, and dozens of people who hold the title of second- and third-rank officials.
Thousands of guests debated and couldn't come up with a result. In the end, it was decided by a show of hands to decide which one in the middle would be opened first.
Chen Shen twisted the note, facing the guests' direction, and slowly opened it——
"It's No. 567!"
"Oh, what a pity! There is only one number missing, I am 566!"
"Hey, it matches my number, hahahahaha..."
The winner of the first prize is Wang Jitian, the Minister of Rites of the Great Xia Kingdom. He is also the grandfather of Wang Dun and Wang Xiaopang.
Chen Shen smiled slightly: "Congratulations!"
After that, with a look from his eyes, Xiaosi presented six kinds of prizes to the other party.
"You are the first to win the jackpot, and you have priority to choose. Take whichever one you like!"
Wang Jitian has been in the officialdom for sixty years and is a minister. At this moment, his eyes are shining because of the huge prize in front of him. He joked: "Everything represented by your first prize is a big deal. I was really bad for a while."
Decision, I really wish I could move them all back home!"
"Hahaha……"
Everyone burst into laughter. But everyone also knew that this was just a joke made by Wang Shangshu.
Although the six first prizes awarded by Tianqibao Pavilion are all eye-catching, after a comparison, there are still differences between them.
Sure enough, after Wang Jitian pretended to hesitate for a while, he still chose the most valuable high-grade Xuan-level Xuan Weapon: the Jade Blood Sword.
Immediately, the old guy drew his sword out of its sheath on the spot, and in conjunction with the profound energy of his eight-star profound master, the sword surface screamed, and the cold light prevailed, as if the surrounding temperature dropped to freezing point...
Countless people are jealous, countless people's hearts beat faster, and countless people are envious and jealous.
But at this moment, they still shouted two words in unison: "What a sword!"
"The entrance fee is one hundred thousand gold, and I won a high-grade Xuan-level Xuan Weapon that cannot be bought with millions of gold! Tsk tsk... Mr. Wang is really lucky!"
"After excluding one of the six jackpots, there are still five left. We still have a chance!"
"That's right! No matter how bad it is, there are still middle prizes and final prizes. The entrance fee is one hundred thousand gold. Even if you can't make a hundred times as much as Wang Shangshu did, it's still good to make three to five times."
…
Not long after, the first round of prize redemption ended, and still no one left.
Even the person who won the prize never went first——
Their one-hundred-thousand-gold admission ticket has now been earned back several times. After earning such a fortune in front of everyone, they will definitely treat their friends to a feast of mysterious food.
Those who win the big prize can spend dozens or millions of gold coins on a meal without batting an eye; even those who win the first prize or the last prize can spend eighty thousand gold coins at this time without even blinking.
Feeling distressed.
In the next six draws, the winners will all do favors and have a banquet.
The Xuanshi business on the second and third floors is more prosperous than before.
Unknowingly, the money given out for prizes went in a big circle, and in the end at least half of it returned to Tianqibao Pavilion.
Even if the guests saw through this, they would still be "cheated" happily——
Tianqibao Pavilion made money, and they entertained high-ranking officials and nobles to gain favors, so everyone got what they needed...
