Chapter 25 Probability

Li Teng was also somewhat surprised; he remembered that his card could only be used to buy on credit for up to 100 points.

"After 100 points of credit are used up, a new limit will appear, ranging from 100 to 1000. At that point, borrowing one point means repaying two," the young girl answered for the female white-collar worker.

"There's such a thing? Then how many points did you spend? It must not be a small amount, right?" Glasses Man looked over the young girl. The outfit she wore appeared quite upscale, and she was adorned with many beautiful accessories.

"It seems to be over thirteen hundred. For any amount over a thousand but within ten thousand, the repayment is four times the borrowed amount," the girl responded to Glasses Man. Clearly, after depleting a thousand points, she continued to purchase on credit for over three hundred more.

"Women truly are creatures of consumption, utterly unconcerned with the consequences! If you guys don't draw a full refund, it'll be the end for you right away," Glasses Man clicked his tongue a few times.

"When I first came in, I didn't receive any sort of notice. If I had known the punishment was this severe, I surely wouldn't have spent like this," said the female white-collar worker standing in front of the lottery machine, anxiously looking at the screen with furrowed brows.

Similarly, under the director's urging, the female white-collar worker pressed the lottery button.

The roulette within the screen began to slow down.

The female white-collar worker covered her eyes, not daring to see the outcome.

If the final result was 100 points or no points at all, then her performance today would have been for nothing, and she would, just like Guo Zhipeng, be sent directly to the wax museum.

Her chances of being sent to the wax museum were not low, standing at forty percent!

It seemed that reckless spending really wasn't a good habit.

"Wow!" exclaimed the young girl.

"What is it?" The female white-collar worker, with her eyes still covered, asked with a trembling voice.

"You're really lucky! You actually drew 100 points! I wanted to draw 100 points, but I didn't manage to," said Glasses Man for the young girl.

"What?" Upon hearing Glasses Man's reply, the female white-collar worker's body went limp, and she nearly fell to the ground.

For Glasses Man, drawing 100 points was a gain, but for her to draw 100 points meant certain doom!

"Don't listen to that contrarian, what you drew is a full exemption," Gao Fei quickly informed the female white-collar worker with good intentions.

Just as the female white-collar worker was about to collapse, she heard what Gao Fei said and quickly opened her eyes to see the roulette on the screen.

The pointer indeed stopped where Gao Fei mentioned, on the sixty percent full exemption, not the thirty percent for 100 points.

"You bastard! Trying to scare me to death?" The female white-collar worker lashed out with a kick at Glasses Man, who laughed heartily as he dodged away.

The female white-collar worker narrowly escaped danger, and next up was the young girl's turn.

The young girl had spent over thirteen hundred points and, just like the female white-collar worker, would undoubtedly be wax-sealed if she did not draw a full exemption.

However, the young girl did not seem as fearful as the female white-collar worker. She walked straight over, nonchalantly hit the lottery button, and then watched as the roulette on the screen gradually came to a stop.

It stopped at...

The sixty percent area for a full exemption.

"You're really confident, aren't you!" The female white-collar worker, who had narrowly escaped death, admired the young girl's calmness during her draw.

"I've always been lucky; I'm not worried about not drawing an exemption. A sixty percent chance! If I couldn't draw it with such high odds, then I'd be incredibly unlucky! I might as well be dead," the girl said with an indifferent expression.

Last of all, it was Li Teng's turn.

"How much did you spend?" Glasses Man asked Li Teng.

"Judging by his clothes, he shouldn't have spent much. Adding food, it probably didn't exceed 100 points," the female white-collar worker deduced.

"I think no more than 30," the young girl also chimed in.

"I spent a total of only 18 points," Li Teng declared in front of the lottery machine.

"I guessed right, didn't I?" The young girl's expression showed her pride.

"18! Aren't you too frugal? If you draw 100 points, that's a huge profit!" The female white-collar worker's eyes widened.

"Haha, if he draws a full exemption, that would be such a waste," Glasses Man said, looking forward to seeing Li Teng's disappointment.

"Hurry up and start! Aim for 100 points, that would be a big win!" the young girl encouraged Li Teng from the side.

"What are you hesitating for? You only spent a little, so you're not worried about going into the negative. Draw now!" the female white-collar worker urged Li Teng.

"It's definitely going to be 100 points, I believe in your luck!" Gao Fei also encouraged Li Teng.

"Just don't draw the ten percent," Glasses Man added. Although it was intended as a blessing, it sounded awkward to the others.

After hesitating for a while longer, Li Teng finally extended his hand and firmly pressed the lottery button.

He didn't have high hopes for drawing 100 points and profiting 82 points. He just hoped not to draw the ten percent, the option that offered not a single point.

If he were to draw the ten percent with no points awarded, his account would be negative 8, rendering his performance today meaningless, and his meticulous plan to counter-kill Guo Zhipeng would have been for naught.

The rapidly spinning roulette in the screen slowed down, with the pointer alternating between the three options until it finally stopped at...

It stopped at...

The full exemption area.

The lottery couldn't be rigged, all fixed to this one probability, could it?

Li Teng felt somewhat disappointed; had he known it was all going to be exemptions, he should have spent more.
