Chapter 5

Fight!

In the digital store, the dozen or so onlookers immediately burst into excitement.

"Really a laptop. The grand prize!"

"Damn! This luck is just too insane!"

"That's the best-configured War God series laptop, worth 15,000 yuan."

"Bro, your luck is really unmatched, winning two grand prizes in a row."

…

The onlookers were all envious.

Chen Feng, however, was dumbfounded. He originally didn't believe he would be so lucky, but reality was just like that, and he was indeed incredibly lucky.

What's going on here?

Chen Feng was full of questions at this moment.

"Bro, go claim your prize!" someone kindly reminded him.

Chen Feng finally snapped out of his daze and nodded to the shop owner with a stiff smile: "Thank you, ma'am."

The shop owner was extremely frustrated. This was a high-end laptop worth 15,000 yuan, and she really didn't want to give it away.

But with so many people around, she couldn't deny it, nor could she cheat by giving him a low-end laptop. The model was clearly stated on the announcement board.

The shop owner reluctantly went to get the laptop, brand new, and placed it on the counter.

A dozen people gathered around to watch, and even more people outside heard the commotion and came to join in.

The shop owner, suppressing her pain, turned on the laptop in front of everyone and gave a detailed introduction of its performance, while also taking the opportunity to promote her store.

At the same time, she announced that they would continue to offer another laptop of the same model the next day, and anyone with good luck could win it.

With this announcement, everyone present believed it. After all, someone had already won a smartphone, and now someone had won the grand prize laptop. It couldn't be faked.

Some people had previously suspected that the red envelopes didn't contain the grand prize laptop, but now Chen Feng had won it.

Moreover, Chen Feng clearly didn't look like a plant. The shop owner's unwillingness couldn't be faked; otherwise, her acting could have won an Oscar.

Therefore, many people at the scene planned to come back the next day to try their luck again.

However, they would obviously be deceived. The shop owner, after much thought, had decided not to write the laptop prize in the red envelopes the next day, making it impossible for anyone to win.

If not for the sake of precaution, she wouldn't have even included the grand prize in the red envelopes, let alone display it openly.

Chen Feng, however, didn't care about the shop owner's thoughts. He stood there and listened to her talk, and finally, she gave him the receipt. Chen Feng, with the envious gazes of the crowd, left the store with the laptop.

Leaving the digital store, Chen Feng couldn't help but marvel at his good luck again.

This was really too dreamlike!

In the past two days, he had encountered more good things than in the past twenty years.

No one would believe it if he told them.

Of course, now that his good luck had come, it was a bit late for him. Because he could die at any time.

The doctor didn't tell him exactly how long he had left, but Chen Feng had searched online, and late-stage brain tumors generally meant a lifespan of two to three months.

So, for someone with only two to three months to live, being incredibly lucky wouldn't mean much unless it could extend his life.

However, now that he wasn't short of money, Chen Feng naturally wanted to enjoy himself.

He first took the laptop back to his rental apartment, then went out to drive to the nearest arcade.

In high school, he had loved video games, but as he grew older, he had no chance or time to play. But deep down, he had always wanted to come to an arcade and play to his heart's content.

Now that he was almost dead, he naturally wanted to fulfill this wish.

He first exchanged 100 game tokens, put them in a plastic tray, and went to play the claw machine.

Claw machines are a popular game that many people love to play, but few can successfully grab a prize.

This has less to do with skill and more to do with luck.

Most of the claw machines in arcades are rigged, making it very difficult to grab a prize with skill alone.

Otherwise, the arcade would only lose money.

Of course, to attract customers, the operators might sometimes lower the difficulty, allowing people to easily grab prizes, but this is rare and unpredictable.

Chen Feng's goal was just to play, not to grab prizes. So, he randomly chose a claw machine, inserted two tokens, and started playing haphazardly.

The first round, as expected, he didn't grab anything. The second round, still nothing. The third round, Chen Feng pressed the buttons randomly and managed to grab a cute teddy bear.

Seeing the plush toy fall out, Chen Feng was stunned again, wondering if this was another stroke of his good luck. Even playing this game, he had a luck boost?

So, Chen Feng continued. The fourth round, nothing. The fifth round, he got another prize, this time a monkey. The sixth round, a rooster…

In total, over ten rounds, Chen Feng managed to grab five plush toys.

Clearly, this wasn't due to his skill but his luck. He remembered the last time he played a claw machine was over two years ago, when he was dating Shen Lin, and they played a few rounds at a mall.

Apart from that, the last time he played a claw machine was during high school.

"Uncle, you're so amazing. Can you teach me?"

While Chen Feng was in a daze, a teenage girl around 15 or 16 suddenly spoke up, looking at him with admiration and envy.

Besides this girl, a crowd had gathered around him, mostly young people in their teens and twenties.

They all looked at him with admiration.

Chen Feng was really too good, especially towards the end, where he grabbed a prize every time.

"Uh, I don't really have anything to teach. I just have good luck."

"You're lying." The girl said, somewhat discontent, "I often come to play, but I never grab anything. And you grabbed so many at once. You're hiding your skills."

This brat! Chen Feng thought to himself, are young girls nowadays so impolite?

"Really, I'm not lying. I'm done playing. Do you want these plush toys? They're all yours."

Chen Feng didn't want to argue with the girl and directly gave her the five plush toys he had won.

"Ah! Really? Thank you, Uncle! You're the best!"

The girl was overjoyed and bent down to pick up the plush toys without any hesitation. She had to use both hands to carry all five of them.

By this time, Chen Feng had already left and walked to a coin pusher machine.

This thing is essentially a gambling machine. It looks like the coins on the edge are about to fall, but in reality, that's not the case.

Many people have been deceived by this, and some have even become addicted, losing everything.

Chen Feng wanted to test his luck again to see how insane it could be. He casually inserted coins into the "gold-eating beast," but nothing happened after a dozen or so coins.

Chen Feng wasn't surprised and continued to insert more, another dozen or so.

Just as Chen Feng was wondering if his luck had run out, suddenly, there was a loud clatter. The stack of game coins, which had been piled high, suddenly collapsed and spilled out.
