Honestly, I am Mr. Richest - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: “Three, Two, One, Money for One Mercedes-Benz”

The more handsome one was, the more responsible one had to be.

He considered himself a very well-behaved young man, and it was good for him to bear so much responsibility!

Gazed at by the audience who admired him tremendously, Chu Chen left with Zhou Qian and Bai Lingling.

On the square outside, they ran into a stand selling lottery tickets.

Before he got the system, Chu Chen tried the lottery many times, but he failed to win a prize because his Luck Value was almost below zero.

Now that he had the Good Luck Experience Card, Chu Chen decided to try lotteries again so as to exorcise his terrible past.

He might not be able to get a huge prize, but it was not going to be a big problem to compensate for what he had lost before.

As he was thinking, Chu Chen and the two girls came to the stand.

Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian had not tried the lottery before, so each of them bought five tickets.

“Prize, prize, please!”

Bai Lingling mumbled as she gazed at the first ticket.

Unfortunately, she failed at the first ticket.

Five tickets in a row and Bai Lingling only got twenty yuan, which was the price for just one ticket.

Zhou Qian was no better.

…

When Chu Chen and the girls were buying the tickets, a girl livestreamer was interviewing people as she walked around.

“How long will it take before you are able to afford a Mercedes-Benz?”

She had just gotten paid by the Mercedes-Benz 4S store not far away, so her mission was to promote the store.

“Maybe five years.”

If one ordinary Mercedes-Benz car cost 500,000 yuan, a white-collar worker would need five years to afford one.

“Mercedes-Benz… three years.”

As the livestreamer came to a couple, the man spoke confidently just to show off in front of his girlfriend.

“Three years… all right.”

“Here is a small thank-you present for you.”

She said as she gave the coupon to the man.

A coupon for buying a Mercedes-Benz—worth 50 yuan.

Seeing the coupon, the man stiffened—he thought that it was going to be an actual present.

Damn it!

He did not lack 50 yuan, he lacked the remaining 499,900!

Yes, he only had 50 yuan left in his pocket.

Many passersby had been interviewed along the way, and most of the interviewees expressed that they needed five to years before getting enough money for a Mercedes-Benz.

The best answer she got was from a middle-aged man, who claimed that he only needed one year.

“Nana, there is a very good-looking man over there!”

“Go and interview him!”

“Nana, those two girls look pretty too, go and check them out!”

As Chu Chen flashed by the camera, many viewers in the stream chat started to write such messages.

Nana looked around and noticed Chu Chen.

“What a good-looking man!”

Nana could not help but feel excited at the sight of Chu Chen’s profile.

The next second, Nana walked toward Chu Chen.

Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian had just revealed the five tickets in their hands and earned 30 yuan in total, losing 170 yuan.

“One ticket please.”

Chu Chen said to the stand owner.

“Just one ticket?”

“Yes, just one ticket.”

Hearing the positive answer, the boss gave Chu Chen one ticket and stopped giving him any more attention.

Just one ticket… what a poor guy!

“Hey, can I interview you?”

At this point, Nana approached with the selfie pole and a smile.

“What a good-looking man, please ask him the question!”

“He is so handsome, he must be rich too!”

Some girls in the stream chat said with fascination.

“Please, how long will it take before you can get enough money for a Mercedes-Benz?”

Hearing the words, Chu Chen did not answer directly.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Three seconds later, Chu Chen still did not answer the question. Nana got slightly surprised.

“Could he have been startled?”

“Unfortunately, the man has just the looks, not the money!”

“He got startled by one Mercedes-Benz! I will never marry a man like this!”

Much of the audience started to complain seeing Chu Chen’s shocked face.

“Now.”

Three seconds later, Chu Chen replied calmly.

What?

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Nana did not understand what was going on for a second.

“Can you explain what you mean? I don’t get it.”

“What I asked was how long you need to get enough money for a Mercedes-Benz.”

Nana repeated the question.

Hearing the words, Chu Chen shook his head helplessly.

“Three, two, one.”

Chu Chen explained.

“Enough money for a Mercedes-Benz.”

Instantly, Nana became transfixed.

One ordinary Mercedes-Benz cost around 500,000 yuan, and what he did was count to three—so he had enough money for a Mercedes-Benz.

“How can that be possible?”

Numerous messages popped up in the stream chat. Everyone was shocked.

“Is he so rich?”

“My god, he’s good-looking and rich, I’m falling for him!”

But soon, the audience in the stream chat calmed themselves down.

“No way, this boy is in his 20s, right?”

“Three seconds and he gets enough money for a Mercedes-Benz? Who does he think he is? The richest guy ever?”

“He’s bragging!”

“He must be boastful! Watch him, Nana, don’t let him run away!”

Seeing the messages in the stream chat, Nana calmed herself down too.

She started to think little of Chu Chen now—this boy was just bragging.

Instead of speaking with her, Chu Chen started to scrap the lottery ticket.

“The lottery!”

“Brother Chu, you just won the lottery!”

Zhou Qian reacted fastest—she noticed the point before everyone else did.

“Hundreds, thousands… is this 100,000?”

Zhou Qian screamed the next second.

100,000?

Hearing the words, everyone present all turned to the lottery ticket in Chu Chen’s hands.

1,000,000.

Six zeros after one.

“No, it is one million!!!”

Bai Lingling took a deep breath and spoke with a trembling voice.

One million?!

Everyone was so shocked that they could not move.

One million was the biggest prize of the lottery. Bai Lingling and the girls had never witnessed such a prize before, nor had the stand owner, who had been in the business for years.

Few people could win such a prize throughout the entire country.

“Oh man!”

“It took just a few seconds before he noticed the prize.”

“A few seconds, and he got the money for two Mercedes-Benz. So he was not bragging…”

For a minute, all the livestream viewers went crazy.

How could that be possible?

“Brother Chu, you’re amazing!”

“Brother Chen, you’re just so lucky!”

Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian said to Chu Chen in incredible amazement.

Hearing the words, Chu Chen smiled.

“Just so-so.”

It was not his luck or anything.

It was the system that was incredibly great.

But when the system was amazing, he was amazing too.

After some processing and verification of the authenticity of the ticket, Chu Chen received the one million in his bank account.

“One million to the card, the balance is 148.89 million!”

Chu Chen’s phone announced.

More than 100 million?

Hearing the balance, Nana was completely shocked.

“That’s mental!”

“That’s money I’m never going to make in my entire life, not even 1/100 of it!”

Numerous viewers in the stream chat were also shocked.

As the money entered the account, Chu Chen left with Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian.

He left without saying much about himself.

After all, he always kept a low profile.
