I confess, I am the Mr. Richest

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: “Three, two, one, we’ve got the money for a Mercedes.

Editor: Henyee Translations

Certainly, looking handsome was indeed a kind of responsibility.

As a good young man with a sense of duty, the more of this responsibility he could bear, the better!

Under the admiring gazes of the crowd, Chu Chen, along with Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian, left.

When they reached the outside plaza, they happened upon a small stand selling scratch-off lottery tickets.

Before getting the system, Chu Chen had played scratch-offs a few times, but unfortunately, with his negative Luck God value, he hadn’t won even once.

Now armed with the Luck God Experience Card, Chu Chen decided to give it another try and redeem his past failures.

He didn’t dare to say he’d hit the jackpot, but recouping his past losses shouldn’t be a problem.

Thinking this, Chu Chen led Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian to the stand.

Neither Bai Lingling nor Zhou Qian had played scratch-offs before, so each picked up five tickets.

“Win something, win something…”

Fixated on the first ticket, Bai Lingling muttered under her breath.

Unfortunately, the first card didn’t win a single cent.

After five in a row, Bai Lingling only won 20, which was just the amount for one scratch-off.

Zhou Qian didn’t fare much better either.

…

As Chu Chen and the others were playing scratch-offs, a female live-streamer was walking around with her phone, doing interviews on the go.

“How long do you need to save to buy a Mercedes?”

She had taken money from the nearby Mercedes dealership to promote their store.

“Around five years, I guess.”

This white-collar worker would need five years, assuming an average Mercedes costs around half a million.

“Three years for a Mercedes.”

When the female streamer interviewed a couple, the guy, wanting to impress his girlfriend, patted his chest and said.

“Three years, okay.”

“As a token of thanks, I’ll give you a little gift.”

With that, the live-streamer handed over a coupon.

A 50-yuan Mercedes discount coupon.

Seeing this coupon, the guy’s smile froze. He thought he would get a little present.

Damn it!

What he lacked wasn’t that 50, but that 499,900.

That’s right, he only had 50 left in his pocket.

After interviewing many passersby, most said they would need five to ten years to save for a Mercedes.

The best among them, a middle-aged man, needed a year.

“Nana, look, there’s a super handsome guy over there!”

“Hurry and interview him.”

“Nana, those two beautiful girls look pretty too, quickly go check them out.”

When the camera briefly flashed past Chu Chen, many viewers in the live stream started flooding the screen with comments.

Having looked around, Nana noticed Chu Chen.

“Wow, such a handsome guy.”

Nana’s heart involuntarily raced as she looked at Chu Chen’s profile.

The next second, Nana headed toward Chu Chen.

Bai Lingling and Zhou Qian had finished scratching their five tickets; together, they only won 30, losing 170.

“Give me one.”

Chu Chen said to the stand owner.

“Just one?”

“Just one.”

Hearing the confirmation, the owner casually handed a ticket to Chu Chen and stopped looking at him.

Just one ticket, how poor.

“Hey handsome, can I interview you?”

At that moment, live-streamer Nana walked over with her selfie stick, smiling as she asked.

“That handsome guy, quickly ask him.”

“He’s so handsome, he must be rich, right?”

In the streaming chat, some female viewers fawned over him.

“How long would you need to save for a Mercedes?”

Hearing this, Chu Chen didn’t answer immediately.

One second.

Two seconds. @@novelbin@@

Three seconds.

After waiting for three seconds without a response, Nana was puzzled.

“Is the handsome guy too shocked?”

“Such a pity, a handsome guy like that, and no money.”

“He was scared just at the thought of buying a Mercedes. If my future boyfriend is like that, I swear I’d never marry him.”

In the live stream chat, many viewers, seeing Chu Chen’s dumbfounded expression, began to make snide remarks.

“The money is enough.”

Three seconds later, Chu Chen spoke calmly.

Huh?

Hearing Chu Chen’s words, Nana didn’t react immediately. What did this mean?

“Could you explain? I don’t understand.”

“What I asked was how long you need to save to buy a Mercedes.”

Nana asked again.

At this, Chu Chen shook his head helplessly.

“Three, two, one.”

Chu Chen explained.

“I have the money to buy a Mercedes.”

Instantly, Nana was dumbfounded.

A common Mercedes costs around half a million; counting to three gets you the money for one?

“How is that possible?”

Countless bullet comments exploded in the live stream, everyone was astonished.

“Is the handsome guy really that wealthy?”

“Handsome and rich, Mom, I’m in love.”

However, soon the viewers regained their composure.

“Wait a minute, how old is this guy? He barely looks twenty.”

“Having the money for a Mercedes in three seconds, who does he think he is, the richest man?”

“Exactly, such an outrageous boast.”

“He must be trying to show off and run, Nana, keep an eye on him, don’t let him escape.”

Seeing the bullet comments, Nana also snapped back.

Her impression of Chu Chen became worse; she thought he was just bragging nonsense.

Chu Chen ignored her and began scratching his ticket.

“I won.”

“Chu, you won!”

Zhou Qian was the quickest to react and noticed it first.

“Ones, tens, hundreds… a hundred grand, is this a hundred grand?”

The next second, Zhou Qian screamed.

A hundred grand?

Hearing this, everyone on the scene set their sights on Chu Chen’s scratch-off ticket.

1,000,000

A one followed by six zeros.

“This isn’t a hundred grand; it’s a million!!!”

Bai Lingling took a deep breath and said, trembling.

A million?!

Everyone was stunned.

A million is the biggest prize in the scratch-offs, something not even Bai Lingling and her companions had seen before, let alone the stall owner, who had been in business for years.

No, perhaps there aren’t many in the whole country who have seen this.

“Gasp!”

“Scratching and seeing the prize money, that must take only a few seconds, right?”

“In a few seconds, he got the money for two Mercedes cars. So, he… he wasn’t bragging?”

In an instant, all the live stream viewers went mad.

How is this possible?

“Chu, you’re awesome.”

“Brother Chen, you’re so lucky.”

Zhou Qian and Bai Lingling excitedly told Chu Chen.

Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled faintly.

“Not bad, not bad.”

It wasn’t that he was lucky or skilled.

It was because the system was just too incredible!

Of course, with a powerful system, he was incredible too.

After some formalities and verification, Chu Chen’s scratch-off was confirmed authentic, and a million was deposited into Chu Chen’s account.

“1,000,000 credited, balance: 148,890,000!”

Chu Chen’s phone notified him.

Over a hundred million?

Hearing the balance, Nana was thoroughly dumbfounded.

“Insane, totally insane!”

“With such a huge balance, I doubt I’ll earn even one percent of it in my lifetime!”

In the live streaming chat, countless viewers were also shocked.

After the money was credited, Chu Chen and Bai Lingling, along with Zhou Qian, walked away.

Leaving in quiet triumph, concealing glory and fame.

He was just that humble.
