Li Teng was also a little surprised. He remembered that his card could only have a credit of 100 points.

“After the 100 points are consumed, a new limit will appear. Any advance credit from 100 to 1,000 credits means paying back two points for each point you borrow,” the teenage girl answered the spectacled man’s question on behalf of the white-collar female.

“Is there such a system? How many points did you spend? Surely it won’t be insignificant?” The spectacled man looked at the teenage girl. The outfit on her looked very high-end, and she wore a lot of very beautiful accessories.

“I think it should be around 1,300. For those who spent between 1,000 to 10,000, the points have to be repaid four-fold,” replied the girl. It was obvious that after she had spent 1,000 points, she continued to advance 300 more.

“Women are such spendthrifts and do not care about the consequences! If you are unable to repay in full, you are doomed,” muttered the spectacled man.

“When I first came here, I didn’t receive any prompts at all. Had I known that the punishment was so severe, I would definitely have not dared to spend like this.” The white-collar female standing before the lottery machine frowned and looked worriedly at the screen in front of her.

Similarly, at the urging of the director, the white-collar female pressed the lottery button.

The wheel on the screen gradually slowed.

The white-collar female covered her eyes, afraid to see the result.

If the final result was 100 points or 0, her performance today would be in vain, and she would be sent directly to the Waxwork Museum just like Guo Zhipeng.

The probability of her being sent to the Waxwork Museum was not low. It was around 40%!

It seemed that careless consumption was not a good habit to have.

“Wow!” exclaimed the teenage girl.

The white-collar female who was covering her eyes trembled as she asked, “What is it?”

“You are really lucky! You actually got 100 points! I couldn’t get 100 points even if I wanted to,” the spectacled man answered for the teenage girl.

“Ah?” When the white-collar female heard the spectacled man’s answer, she couldn’t help but almost collapse to the ground.

If the spectacled man drew 100 points, that was good for him. But if she drew 100 points, she was dead for sure!

“Don’t listen to him who likes to sing a different tune. You have gotten a full waiver.” Gao Fei quickly told the truth to the white-collar female out of kindness.

The white-collar female was about to fall, but quickly opened her eyes when she heard what Gao Fei said and saw the wheel on the screen.

The needle was at where Gao Fei had said. It had stopped on Full Waiver, where she had a 60% chance of drawing that, instead of 100 points, where the probability was 30%.

“You bastard! Are you trying to scare me to death?” The white-collar female tried to kick the spectacled man, but he laughed and dodged.

The white-collar female had made a thrilling escape. It was now the teenage girl’s turn.

The girl had spent more than 1,300 points. Like the white-collar female, she would undoubtedly be sealed by the wax if she did not draw a Full Waiver.

However, the teenage girl was not as scared as the white-collar female. She walked over right away and smacked the lottery button, her eyes on the wheel as it began to slow.

It stopped at Full Waiver.

“You are quite confident!” The white-collar female who had just escaped from death admired the teenage girl’s calmness during the lottery draw.

“My luck has always been very good. I did not worry about not getting the full waiver at all. There is a 60% chance! If one can’t win with such a high probability, that will be very sad! I might as well die,” the teenage girl said with a disapproving expression.

Finally, it was Li Teng’s turn.

The spectacled man asked Li Teng, “How many points did you spend?”

“Looking at the clothes he wears, they shouldn’t cost much. Together with the food, he shouldn’t have spent more than 100 points.” The white-collar female analyzed.

“I think it’s not more than 30.” The teenage girl also commented.

“I only spent 18 points in total,” Li Teng announced as he stood in front of the lottery machine.

“So I was right?” The teenage girl had a proud expression.

“18! Aren’t you too much of a saver? If you draw 100 points, you will make a big profit!” exclaimed the white-collar female with wide-opened eyes.

“Haha, if he draws a full waiver, that would be a loss to him.” The spectacled man wanted to see Li Teng making a fool out of himself.

“Let’s get started! Try to draw 100 points, and then you will make a killing!” The teenage girl encouraged Li Teng as she stood beside him.

“Why hesitate? You only spent so little, and there’s no need to worry about having a negative balance.” The white-collar female urged Li Teng.

“Definitely, it will be 100 points. I believe in your luck!” Gao Fei also gave Li Teng a few words of encouragement.

“You must not draw the 10% probability,” added the spectacled man. Although these were also positive words, it gave others an uncomfortable feeling.

After hesitating for a while, Li Teng finally reached out and gave the lottery button a heavy smack.

He did not dare to have the extravagant hope of drawing 100 points and making a net gain of 92 points. He just hoped not to draw the 10%, an outcome where he would not receive any points.

If he drew the 10% probability of not having any points, his account’s points would remain -8. In that case, his scene would be in vain, and his deliberate plot to kill Guo Zhipeng would be meaningless.

The spinning wheel on the screen slowed, as the pointer repeatedly swung through the three options in turn before stopping at… Full Waiver!

The lottery shouldn’t be a scam with all outcomes being Full Waiver, right?

Li Teng was a little disappointed. Had he known that his points would be free, he would have spent more freely.
