Chapter 468: You're Also Here to Claim a Prize?

"Team Leader Xu? Why are you also here?"

A familiar voice came from the Snow King doll.

"Wang Dachuan?", Xu Mo instantly recognized the voice's owner.

In the next second, the Snow King placed its bulky arm by its mouth and made a 'shh' gesture.

"Team Leader Xu, don't make a scene, I'm here to claim a prize; this way you easily expose my identity! Prize redemption must be kept secret!"

Xu Mo was startled.

From that, Wang Dachuan won a lot?

Xu Mo knew that Wang Dachuan had won; when he checked this issue's winning numbers last night, he saw that Wang Dachuan had won a Second Prize.

But Xu Mo didn't know the prize amount, because he didn't know how many times Wang Dachuan had multiplied that Lottery Ticket.

If it were like last time, multiplied a hundred times, then based on this issue's Second Prize amount, it would be... twenty-five million!

Xu Mo even thought that Wang Dachuan might have multiplied two hundred times, which would be a fifty-million prize!

If so, dressing like this is indeed understandable; over ten million is certainly a huge fortune.

Xu Mo moved next to the Snow King, lowered his voice and asked, "How much did you win?"

The Snow King wiggled its plump body, glanced left and right, then leaned toward Xu Mo's ear and whispered softly.

"Two hundred fifty thousand!!!"

Xu Mo: "..."

Two hundred fifty thousand, after tax leaves two hundred thousand.

Coming to claim a prize dressed like this?! In this scorching summer, aren't you afraid of suffocating?

People who come here to claim prizes often win two or three hundred thousand; who is as exaggerated as you?

Wang Dachuan, hidden inside the Snow King doll, didn't notice Xu Mo's speechlessness.

He was also somewhat curious about Xu Mo's reason for being here.

"Team Leader Xu, you haven't said yet, what are you here for?"

"I'm also here to claim a prize," Xu Mo replied concisely.

"You're also here to claim a prize? How much did you win?"

The moment the words fell, Wang Dachuan regretted it.

Seeing Xu Mo's casual demeanor, he guessed he hadn't won much, maybe only ten or twenty thousand, just the amount the Lottery Shop couldn't redeem, so he came to the Prize Redemption Center.

He thought to himself, as someone who had won a massive 250,000, asking a person who only won ten or twenty thousand how much they got—wasn't that heartless?

Unfortunately, words spoken are like water poured out, impossible to take back.

Wang Dachuan could only regret in his heart, regretting that he shouldn't have asked.

"No worries, Team Leader Xu, keep it up; you're so skilled, you'll win a big prize again sooner or later!"

But Xu Mo's next reply left him a bit stunned.

Xu Mo said lightly, "Seven million."

Wang Dachuan: "???"

How much?!

Seven million!!!

At that moment, Wang Dachuan only felt a bit ridiculous.

The Clown turned out to be himself!

He, who only won a little over two hundred thousand, had just been comforting someone who won seven million?

Wait, why did Xu Mo also win seven million? Didn't he already win seven million in the previous draw?

Two times together make fourteen million!

Wang Dachuan felt numb, his head buzzing.

His mind kept echoing Xu Mo's "seven million".

He only felt that what he wore wasn't the Snow King doll costume, but a Clown outfit...

Staff separately escorted the two to claim their prizes.

Only the two received different treatment.

When Xu Mo claimed his prize, several cameras surrounded him click-clicking, and reporters asked him about his feelings after winning.

As for Wang Dachuan, he didn't get such treatment.

A 250,000 prize wasn't enough to warrant a reporter interview.

When he claimed his prize, only staff guided him through the procedure.

After showing his ID, bank card, and donation, the process ended, and the prize was quickly transferred to his bank card.

The scene he had imagined before arriving, surrounded by dozens of cameras and reporters, never occurred.

On the contrary, no one cared about him at all!

It seemed that a prize of a little over two hundred thousand counted for nothing in the eyes of the Prize Redemption Center staff.

And yet he wrapped himself so tightly to claim the prize...

Wang Dachuan felt that regret deep inside.

Putting on this damn outfit, just one step, you'd be ridiculed for life!

What a sin!!!

Thinking of his earlier conversation with Xu Mo, Wang Dachuan felt a wave of embarrassment.

So after receiving the prize, he left immediately, choosing not to wait for Xu Mo.

He feared Xu Mo would mock him for wrapping himself so tightly over such a 'small' prize...

After Xu Mo cashed in his prize, he headed straight to his private museum, which he and Han Fei's father-in-law had agreed upon beforehand.

They would meet at the private museum, where Xu Mo would take Han Fei's father-in-law and his friends to view the missing forty chapters of Dream of the Red Chamber, and in the process let these esteemed Redology experts spread the news that the Cao Xueqin Original Manuscript of the missing forty chapters had already been published.

The private museum.

Today Xu Mo deliberately had the museum close for a day, so there was no long queue at the entrance like yesterday.

When Xu Mo arrived, he found a group of middle-aged and elderly people already gathered at the entrance.

The leader was none other than Han Fei's grandfather—not because he was the head of these Redology experts, but because he was the host and the one spreading the news.

Upon seeing Xu Mo, the grandfather immediately called out.

"Young man, over here!"

At the same time, he introduced Xu Mo to the people around him.

"This is the Xu Mo I told you about—the Cao Xueqin Original Manuscript of the missing forty chapters of Dream of the Red Chamber is in his hands, passed down from his ancestors."

The crowd swarmed forward, hoping to get acquainted with Xu Mo.

After a brief introduction, Xu Mo then led everyone into the museum and into his office inside.

Before leaving the previous night, Xu Mo had placed the contents of the missing forty chapters of Dream of the Red Chamber into an antique box and locked it in the office safe.

"Please wait a moment, I put the items in the safe; I'm taking them out now."

Although they had already seen the contents of the missing forty chapters in photos beforehand, these Redology experts were still extremely excited at this moment.

After all, seeing it in a photo and seeing it in person are two different things; they're not comparable.
