Chapter 424: Let's Draw Lots!

~9 min read 1,672 words

"Holy crap, this old man... why is he here?" someone exclaimed on the spot, in disbelief.

"He served as Prime Minister for two dynasties, helping two emperors govern the Water Origin Kingdom!"

"But didn't he resign and retire? It is said that he had no hope of breaking through and his lifespan was coming to an end!"

"Then why didn't he go buy burgers? With General Zhuge's burgers, eating just one would instantly increase a small realm, and his lifespan could also be increased!"

"Sigh, this old man is different from others. He is too kind-hearted and has been incomparably honest for many years. Even if he had Spirit Stones, he would have donated them to help those poor scattered cultivators. How could he afford a 500,000 Spirit Stone burger?"

"But why is he here now? And wanting to save his granddaughter? Isn't his granddaughter unable to cultivate because she has no spirit root?"

"It's not just that she has no spirit root; I heard she also suffers from a serious illness that cannot be cured at all, unless she can cultivate to change her physique, then the illness will be cured without medicine!"

"Then it's over. With General Zhuge's personality, if you don't pay Spirit Stones to apply for a Supreme Membership, you can't buy it at all!"

"Exactly. A businessman opening his doors for business must also value integrity. If he said he only serves Supreme Members, he can only serve Supreme Members. If he doesn't collect Spirit Stones, wouldn't he be smashing his own signboard?"

"Indeed, not to mention General Zhuge's personality, which you all know. He is called a great demon king, and he always says he has principles, but in fact, he is just money-grubbing!"

"Sigh, old man, you'd better go back. Without a Supreme Membership, it's impossible to enter!"

Everyone shook their heads, even if they sympathized with the old man in their hearts, they were powerless.

After all, a Supreme Membership wasn't something just anyone could get.

"Damn, what are you all saying? Do you take me for transparent? I'm still sitting here, and you're talking bad about me? Do you believe I'll go knock on your doors, fellow villagers?"

At this moment, Xu Que stood up abruptly from his chair, pointing at the crowd and cursing angrily.

This group of people wanted to go to heaven, right? Actually talking bad about this King of Acting Cool to his face? Did they not take this King of Acting Cool seriously at all?

Is this King of Acting Cool the kind of person who is money-grubbing? Impossible, this King of Acting Cool is a person with love.

Immediately, Xu Que's expression changed again, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and he shouted:

"Come, come, come, fellow villagers, don't miss out as you pass by. Our shop is newly opened today, let's draw lots! We will draw a lucky person on the spot and reward them with a Supreme Membership card! Does anyone want to participate?"

The entire crowd was instantly stunned.

Draw a lucky person?

Reward a Supreme Membership card?

Holy crap, did the sun rise from the west?

Did the great demon king change his nature? Actually, there's such a good thing?

Must participate!

"General Zhuge is truly generous! I want to participate!"

"I want to too!"

"Add me!"

……

Immediately, everyone present raised their hands enthusiastically and shouted loudly, having long forgotten about the old man and his granddaughter.

Xu Que raised the corner of his mouth: "Good, since everyone is so active, let's start drawing lots now! Counting down five numbers, five, four..."

"Three, two, one!" Everyone in the audience followed and shouted, very excited.

After shouting, everyone locked their fiery gazes on Xu Que, expecting his next lottery activity.

Everyone was eager to try, holding expectations.

If they were drawn, they would save 100 million Spirit Stones!

However, just after counting the numbers, Xu Que didn't even look at the crowd, and suddenly stretched out his finger, pointed at the old man in the crowd, and shouted: "Come, let's congratulate this old man for winning the first Supreme Membership card of this shop, and he can enjoy the ice cream hot pot family bucket of this shop for free. Come, come, come, please come in!"

In an instant, everyone in the audience was dumbfounded!

Xu Que walked toward the crowd with a smile, personally leading the old man and the young girl, and walked into the shop under the stunned gazes of the crowd.

"Bang!"

The moment the door closed, everyone reacted and almost spat blood with anger!

Damn!

Zhuge Liang, your sister!

Is this how you draw lots?

You didn't draw at all, yet you shouted you were drawing!

Are you playing with us?

"Forget it, forget it, I knew this guy wouldn't be so kind!"

"So he was playing with us!"

"Eh, that's not right. He really gave that old man a Supreme Membership card!"

"Exactly, it turns out this guy was helping that old man!"

"I'm dizzy, so that's why they say this guy is despicable. He doesn't even forget to annoy people while helping them!"

Everyone shook their heads speechlessly, but their eyes also began to scan the "Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream" shop.

Xu Que had decorated the shop front like a modern one, with glass walls, and everyone could see clearly by looking in.

The old man and the young girl were both confused, and were led by Xu Que to sit at a table. Subsequently, that guy was busy running around, really moving a boiler over, and then took out several colorful ice creams from a frozen box.

The crowd outside was confused.

"Is this ice cream?"

"It looks like it's just some ice dregs kneaded together!"

"Exactly, although the colors are a bit strange, it looks really ordinary!"

"Just these things, can this sublimate the spirit root?"

"No, don't forget, the old man's granddaughter has no spirit root!"

"Could it be that he wants to rely on that slim probability to derive another spirit root? Is this possible?"

"How could there be such a thing in the world?"

"Referring to the food General Zhuge made before, I think it's possible that it can sublimate the spirit root, but I don't believe it if I'm beaten to death that it can derive a spirit root!"

"I think so too!"

"Deriving a spirit root, he must have exaggerated it!"

"Wait a moment, focus more on that old man. His talent isn't high. If he can sublimate his spirit root this time, maybe he will break through on the spot without consuming a burger!"

……

Everyone believed that deriving a spirit root was impossible to achieve.

But as for sublimating the spirit root, they didn't believe it before, but after witnessing those burgers and coffees from Xu Que, they also began to be half-believing.

And at this time, in the ice cream shop.

Xu Que had already prepared the ice cream hot pot, and the old man and the young girl were also looking at the strange ice cream pot in front of them, confused, seemingly unable to figure out the situation.

Especially the old man, who originally held the idea of trying it, came to beg this "General Zhuge" who was known as a great demon king.

He didn't have any expectations originally, just wanted to try it with his old face.

Who would have thought that Xu Que would directly say draw lots, and without drawing, he designated him as the winner, led him in, and personally prepared a pot of strange things.

This enthusiastic and gentle look really caught the old man and the young girl off guard!

This...

Is this the great demon king?

The great demon king who likes to raid homes and kill without blinking?

Doesn't look like it!

Could it be that he found the wrong person?

Both of them were a bit confused.

"Old man, little sister, don't be polite, eat quickly! You are the first Supreme Member of this shop, eat as much as you want. If it's not enough, I'll give you more for free!" Xu Que greeted enthusiastically.

For an old official like this old man who is honest and for the people, Xu Que is of course helping with all his might, helping if he can, anyway, there's no loss.

And the old man and the young girl were stunned for a moment before they finally came back to their senses and thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you, General Zhuge!"

"This time, regardless of whether I can derive a spirit root for my little granddaughter, I owe you a favor."

Xu Que waved his hand: "Eh, old man, don't say that. This is all a fair, just, and open lottery activity. Since you were drawn, just eat as much as you want! Come, come, come, little sister, brother will feed you!"

Xu Que said, and really scooped up a spoonful of ice cream, sending it to the young girl's mouth.

The young girl's face instantly turned red, and she hurriedly took the spoon, shyly saying: "Tha... thank you, Brother Zhuge, I'll do it myself!"

"..." Xu Que's mouth twitched instantly.

You are the pig brother! I am so handsome and dashing, where am I a pig brother?

"Whoosh!"

However, just at this moment, the young girl opened her small mouth and carefully contained the ice cream, and a radiance instantly bloomed from her mouth!
