Song Lele and Xu Xinling were the first to react. The two beauties immediately hugged each other and leaped continuously with joy.
“We have two tickets now. Since the young master has no need for his one, so that effectively means that both of us have secured our entry!”
“That’s right. I can’t believe we got into such a huge quarrel earlier. With this, we no longer need to fight.”
The two girls who were fighting over Tang Feng’s entry ticket only just moments ago were now besties once more.
This left Tang Feng flabbergasted.
Aren’t they changing tunes a lil’ too fast?
“Hey, I’m the one who drew the tickets for you two? Shouldn’t you be hugging me instead?”
Tang Feng wanted a piece of the action as well. “What are you hugging my best friend for?”
“Let go of him and come at me instead!”
“Screw you. Dream on.” Xu Xinling blushed slightly as she responded.
“Young Master Feng, just how on earth did you manage to pull it off? Getting one ticket alone is already a miracle in of itself, but you managed to get not just one, but two!” Song Lele had already recovered from her excitement and she was now scrutinizing Tang Feng closely.
Xu Xinling’s face was also full of curiosity. “Lele told me that you were luck incarnate, but I didn’t believe it back then. Things are different now though, I can boldly claim that you’re the luckiest man alive.”
It was not just the two of them. Even the people lining up at the back of the queue were staring at Tang Feng with shock and jealousy.
The odds were only one in fifty, but Tang Feng had somehow managed to get two of them in a row.
With that kind of luck, he should not be opening blind boxes, but participating in lotteries instead!
It was like using a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken!
However, before the revelation could properly settle in, the host’s voice rang out once more. “Congratulations to this handsome young man! He… He has won another entry ticket!”
The host’s voice was trembling with excitement.
“Didn’t he already make the announcement just a moment ago? Why is he repeating it again?”
“Yeah, is there a need to announce it twice? Is getting stabbed in the heart once not enough?”
“The host must’ve been shocked silly. He probably repeated the announcement cause he didn’t come to terms with it.”
“I mean, honestly, who could blame him? He did actually won two tickets in a row. His luck is simply too good…”
Everyone thought that the host was repeating the result of Tang Feng’s second ticket, and thus, the response was rather lukewarm.
However, the host suddenly raised his voice. “Congratulations for winning your third entry ticket, young man!”
As he spoke, the host revealed the third ticket’s contents.
The words “entry ticket” were in full display before everyone’s eyes.
The originally rowdy square went dead silent.
Everyone stared at the ticket in a daze, before quickly turning their attention towards Tang Feng.
To be able to win an entrance ticket with a one in fifty odd was considered to be very lucky.
To be able to draw two tickets in a row was simply a miracle.
However, to actually draw three tickets in one go, now that was definitely suspicious.
Someone shouted out, “Drawing three entry tickets in one go? How is this possible? Could this kid be a paid actor?”
The moment they heard this theory, something seemed to have clicked within the minds of the event-goers.
“This kid must surely be in the organizer’s pockets.How could he be this lucky?”
“Yeah! No one managed to win until this guy came along and snatched three tickets in one go! This can’t possibly be attributed to luck!”
“There are only two explanations for such a scenario. The first is that he’s the very manifestation of luck. But how can such an entity even exist? So this brings us to the next possible explanation, which is that he’s a paid actor from the organizers!”
“Hehe, could the manipulation be any more obvious? Do they think us fools?”
The thousands of participants present immediately questioned the fairness of the event.
The voices of dissent started off soft, but as more and more individuals spoke up, thebut as more and more people questioned, everyone became bolder and bolder, and their voices grew louder.
What started off as a small ruckus soon turned into a thunderous cacophony.
Although Song Lele and Xu Xinling were both beneficiaries, they too, harbored some doubts over Tang Feng’s luckiness.
“Lele, what are the chances of the young master being friends with the organizers? I find it hard to believe that he managed to draw three entry tickets in a row.” Xu Xinling turned around and whispered into Song Lele’s ear.
“It’s… Unlikely, I hope.” Song Lele was not too sure herself.
She really wanted to believe in Tang Feng, but his luck had gone from being miraculous to downright scary, suspiciously so.
There was fair reason to believe that he was colluding with the organizers.
However, Tang Feng was in no hurry to explain himself. After all, he had nothing to lose, unlike a certain organization.
Sure enough, the host hurriedly grabbed his microphone and attempted to assuage the audience below the stage. “Everyone, please rest assured. There is no conspiracy taking place here! Everything you see here is done completely fair and square!”
Naturally, his guarantee meant little to the angry mob.
“Why should we believe you just cause you said so? How would you explain him winning three tickets in a row, then?”
“That’s right. You had better give us a satisfactory explanation or we’ll lynch you alive!”
“I refuse to accept this…”
Everyone was still filled with righteous indignation.
Especially those who had already lost their draws earlier.
The host’s face immediately turned pale from fear. He was at a loss for words.
He too was in the darknot know what was going on either. The organizers had never told him that there was a daycare arranged for this event.
Since there was a daycare arranged, why didn’t they tell him earlier? Why did they have to make it so obvious?
While the host was mentally panicking, a well-dressed middle-aged man quickly walked up to the stage and took the microphone from his hand.
“Hello, everyone. I’m Zhao Xu, the manager of Pop Mart’s Zhonghai branch. I can assure you that this event is to repay everyone’s support towards Pop Mart. I guarantee you that there are no shady dealings going on behind the scenes!”
Although his words were the same as the host’s, they had come from a person of a different status. The words he spoke carried a different weight.
It was only then did the crowd’s emotions subside a little, but only a little.
Immediately after, a boy asked, “Then how would you explain the fact that he won three tickets in a row?”
“Yeah! Many have tried and failed, so why did the first person to win any tickets at all win three at one go?
“You’d better give us a good reason…”
