Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 8: It's impossible for me to work, I'll never work in my life!
So, for this last one, Lu Chen stopped scraping it off bit by bit.

I decided to go all out and scrape it clean.

Since I'm already blessed with good fortune, I'll just leave it to fate.

then……

The smiles on everyone's faces in the store froze completely once again.

On the card, the three "fa" characters in a row looked like a beautiful woman waving at them.

So breathtakingly beautiful!

Some people screamed on the spot.

"My God, I won again! Another 100,000!"

"Heavens above! I bought four tickets, and all four won! Two first prizes and one second prize. What kind of incredible luck is this?!"

"Brother, please, tell me which deity is so powerful! I'll go bankrupt if I have to worship them!"

When Lu Chen saw that he had scratched out another jackpot, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wow, this feeling of being blessed with good fortune is absolutely amazing!

He didn't keep anyone in suspense and frankly admitted, "I worship the God of Wealth!"

"The God of Wealth? Which God of Wealth is this?"

Is there such a God of Wealth?

However, the men looked puzzled, as if they had limited knowledge.

Even Deng Jiajia frowned: "Is there such a God of Wealth? Aren't the Gods of Wealth Zhao Gongming and Guan Yu?"

"Some brothers, there really are."

Lu Chen briefly explained the origin of the God of Wealth.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

"I see, I've really learned something new. Okay, I'll have to give it a try. Any of you guys want to come?"

"Forget it, I won't go."

"why?"

"To receive such a rare deity's blessing is already incredibly lucky; I probably don't have that kind of fortune."

"I think so too. I'll continue researching the lottery."

Unexpectedly, after hearing about the origin of the God of Wealth, two of the men immediately lost interest.

Clearly, they have no interest in obscure deities.

Only one guy decided to give it a try.

Lu Chen was not surprised by this.

This is similar to going to a shopping mall to buy clothes.

Designer clothes cost a thousand.

Even generic brands cost a thousand.

Which would you choose?
Temples do not charge less for incense offerings just because the deities are not popular.

Since the price is the same, many people wonder why not choose the more popular deities?

This idea is normal and reasonable.

So Lu Chen didn't intend to persuade him. Whether someone believed it or not was their business, and he didn't want to force them to.

Just as Lu Chen was pondering this in his heart.

Suddenly, his whole body convulsed violently again.

In an instant, I felt as if I had been drained dry.

"Oh no, my luck with money... is all gone?"

Lu Chen quickly said, "Old classmate, give me another scratch card."

Deng Jiajia took out a bill.

Sure enough, I didn't win a single penny this time.

Lu Chen chuckled: "Looks like this wave of good fortune has come to an end."

He exchanged just 100 yuan for over 260,000 yuan.

What more could you want?!
"How much did you earn in total?" Deng Jiajia asked curiously.

"Including these, it's about 260,000 in total. I made 15,000 yesterday."

Lu Chen didn't hide anything.

"Amazing!! I met someone before who also prayed to the God of Wealth and won a third prize in the lottery, which is only 100,000 yuan."

Deng Jiajia's mood calmed down: "It seems that although your God of Wealth is unpopular, you are quite generous in bestowing blessings."

Lu Chen smiled nonchalantly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

The reason for starting a business in a cold market is simply to have a small initial investment but a large return.

Lu Chen then pointed to several scratch-off lottery tickets on the table: "Old classmate, what about these cards?"

Deng Jiajia picked up a few scratch-off lottery tickets and fiddled with them on the computer: "Wait a moment, I'll call you after I finish recording the system."

A moment later, a total of 261,000 yuan was deposited into Lu Chen's account.

Did you receive it?

"received."

Deng Jiajia laughed and said, "It's only early in the morning. If it were closer to noon, I'd definitely have to rip you off today."

With the large sum of money in hand, Lu Chen was overjoyed. He took out five hundred yuan in cash from his pocket and slapped it on the table: "Here, a red envelope, let's celebrate together."

Deng Jiajia waved her hands repeatedly, clearly not intending to actually accept the money.

The two started chatting across the counter.

Deng Jiajia: "Old classmate, how have you been lately? The Divine Servants Grand Competition is next week, what are your plans?"

Lu Chen shook his head: "I don't have any plans. It's just a regular competition, what kind of plans could I possibly have?"

Deng Jiajia shook her finger: "You've got it too simple this time, old classmate."

Lu Chen frowned: "What do you mean?"

Deng Jiajia looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them before leaning closer and whispering, "I have some news for you. Starting with our year, the academy is going to be restructured!"

Lu Chen: "Restructuring?"

Deng Jiajia: "I received news that the passing score for this competition is 2%. Students with a score below 2% will be forced to graduate." Lu Chen was taken aback: "Where did you hear that?"

Deng Jiajia: "I have a relative who works at the education bureau. I just found out about this a couple of days ago."

Lu Chen was a little shocked: "Why change it?"

Deng Jiajia pouted: "The external situation is putting a lot of pressure on us. I heard that several more SSS-level horror dungeons have appeared all over the country, and the number of demons and monsters is increasing. The country can't handle it."

The purpose of the restructuring is to improve competitiveness.

To put it bluntly, it's about selecting the best.

Continue to nurture promising talents.

As for the ordinary ones, just send them directly into society and let them shine and contribute.

Lu Chen: "Is the information guaranteed to be true?"

Deng Jiajia said seriously: "The restructuring will definitely guarantee authenticity!"

Lu Chen gasped: "That's a big deal! What kind of special support will those who stay receive?"

Deng Jiajia shook her head: "I don't know the specifics either. My relative didn't say it explicitly, but he did reveal that what's coming next will be an era of both opportunities and risks for us."

I doubt……"

"What do you suspect?"

"I suspect it's very likely that they'll ask us to go to the mission hall to accept the mission in advance."

"how you said that?"

Deng Jiajia analyzed: "Think about it, this time the changes are so big, and the country's goal is to select the best and improve competitiveness. Do you think they would let us continue to stay comfortably in school and enjoy life?"
They will definitely increase the intensity for us.

The best way to increase the intensity is simply to let us adapt to the pace of society in advance.

Therefore, getting exposure to various tasks in advance is the best way to hone one's skills.

This aligns with the purpose of the national reform.

What do you think? "

It must be said that Deng Jiajia's speculation is very convincing.

Lu Chen recalled that in the past, Deng Jiajia rarely answered questions in class, but whenever she did, her answers were always insightful and to the point.

Lu Chen nodded: "That makes sense. If that's the case, your relative is right. This will be a new era with both opportunities and risks."

Deng Jiajia nodded: "I've made up my mind. I'll pursue martial arts from now on. If I can take on missions ahead of time, I'll be happy with the rewards and military merits."

Running dungeons to vanquish demons and protect our homeland is the fastest way!

Seeing the burning gaze in her eyes, Lu Chen couldn't help but tease, "Aren't you afraid of dying? Going into a dungeon is a gamble with your life."

Deng Jiajia, however, didn't care at all: "Gambling with our lives? For people like us from the bottom, how can we succeed without gambling with our lives?"

Lu Chen was taken aback, then gave him a thumbs up in admiration: "Old classmate, you're amazing!"

Deng Jiajia waved her hand and laughed: "Just kidding. If I really encountered a vengeful ghost, I'd probably wet my pants in fear. By the way, how many years have you spent serving the gods?"

Lu Chen: "I am Wenchang Dijun, 0.5%."

Deng Jiajia: "It's so low, I have 2.6%."

Lu Chen changed the subject: "However, my God of Wealth's service level is 5%."

Deng Jiajia: "???!!!"

"Holy crap! You're insane! 5%! No wonder your luck with money is so incredible today. Tell me! How much incense money did you spend?"

"This one……"

Lu Chen scratched his head, deciding it was better not to say anything to avoid appearing pretentious.

"It was just a lucky break, and it didn't cost much money."

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk about it, Deng Jiajia didn't press him further: "Alright. I really didn't know you were so talented in matters of wealth, old classmate. I didn't expect you to be so gifted in this area. I think you could become a fortune teller, specializing in helping people pray for good fortune!"

The Wealth Transporter is an auxiliary profession derived from the God of Wealth.

Its function is to help people pray for wealth and bring them wealth.

Lu Chen shook his head and laughed, "Forget it, it's impossible for me to work. I'd rather start my own business than be someone else's money-making machine."

Deng Jiajia laughed and said, "Working for someone else is so much better, as the income is guaranteed regardless of the circumstances, and the pay is high. Starting your own business is ultimately too risky."

Lu Chen smiled and chatted for a few more minutes before realizing it was getting late.

Lu Chen also prepared to say goodbye: "Old classmate, I'll head back now. Thank you for telling me so much."

Deng Jiajia waved her hand: "It's okay, it'll be announced next Monday anyway, it's not a big secret. By the way, I'll have my dad put up a banner of yours to promote our shop, you don't mind, do you?"

Lu Chen: "I don't mind, go ahead and pull."

"okay!"

Lu Chen waved goodbye.

Just walked to the door.

A man walked in from outside, and when he saw Lu Chen, he was suddenly stunned.

Lu Chen found it a little strange, but didn't think much of it.

"Old classmate, take care."

"OK, bye!"

Lu Chen left the lottery shop directly.

"Jiajia, is this person your old classmate?"

The man who came in pointed in the direction Lu Chen had gone and asked.

"Yeah, Brother Zhang, you know my classmate too?"

Brother Zhang clicked his tongue: "This kid is something else. I ran into him at the Zhao Clan Temple yesterday."

Deng Jiajia asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Brother Zhang gasped: "He actually received the God of Wealth's blessing with just one incense stick's time, and even increased his God-serving ability to 5% in one go. I was completely stunned."

Deng Jiajia's eyes widened: "What did you say? One incense stick's time, 5%?!"

"Yes, the key point is that it's the kind that costs 100 yuan per stick, can you believe it?"

Deng Jiajia's mouth was so wide open that it could almost fit an egg.

A moment later, a shrewish roar erupted from the lottery shop.

"Lu Chen, it turns out you're the most amazing one all along!!!!"
