Chapter 891 Instant Lottery Instance
"HAHAHAHAHAH WHAT THE HECK IS THIS!?" Qiu Yue laughed hysterically when they were teleported right into the instance and saw a giant panda figure in front of her. Claire, Lynn and even Pei burst into laughter despite the threat and immediately understood why Jin had been too embarrassed to show that creation to his monsters.
It was not just any giant panda statue sitting casually in the middle of an empty service instance but one whose pose was reminiscent of a Maneki-neko or Zhao Cao Mao.?With the posture of a sitting beckoning cat, the lifelike Panda Statue too held its right hand up and started to beckon money continuously while making a slightly low pitch screech during an interval.
On its left paw, the beckoning panda held onto a large coin that resembled a Panda Medal with the only difference being that it was diamond minted instead of the standard gold medal. To suit the Chinese New Year Theme, Jin had already dressed up the panda in a traditional red Chinese costume and even gave it a pair of round sunglasses to complete the style of a fussy, money minded panda.
"I honestly do not believe you only created this in such an empty service instance. This is not how you usually create your instances." Qiu Yue pointed out, and the System took the initiative to activate the instance.
True enough, the blank white background that they were standing on started to dissemble as if the spatial space itself came alive from a long slumber of inactivity. Stage lights began to appear above them, and rows of seats like an indoor stadium theatre rose from a distance as if the instance can be calibrated to suit the size of the stage. If anything, Jin made sure that the indoor stadium can be adjusted to suit even more people while ensuring that everyone can have a brilliant view no matter where they were seated.

"User was worried that minions waiting for their turn to receive their red packets would get very bored, especially at their current capacity. This indoor theatre was meant as entertainment for the people who were waiting for their turn." The System explained, and the Sub System Users nodded their heads.
"Because, to make it fair, I created a huge lottery ball drawing machine where they would have to turn the wheel themselves, and only luck would allow them to get the highest red packet value," Jin added as he showed the lottery machine at the side of the stage. "Well, the odds are actually out of their favour since all lottery machines are rigged...still it will give them a decent amount of System points as rewards, since I placed the minimum to be at least 300 points."
"I see, then you can also announce those super prize winners on stage and let everyone get jealous about their System points." Kraft saw through the scheme while scratching his chin, most definitely considering ways on how to rig the lottery machine even further.
"I swear that was not my intent, but yes, announcing them as winners were part of my plan," Jin replied. "For this new year, I had to prepare over 8000 red packets, and it was only possible because of Claire's investment, so I thank you for that."
"No wonder you gave me a little more than Lynn and Qiu Yue..." Claire said out loud, and the Sub System Users stared at Jin. He had been prepared for that matter to eventually come to light, but to his surprise, that stare had only been momentary. Both Sub System Users were of the same mindset as Jin, and agreed that credit had to be given when credit was due.
Besides, their own bonus was extremely generous, and it was more than the total sum they would have earned in five years of leading their normal lives.
"So, what kind of entertainment are you showing the monsters when they arrive?" Kraft asked, and Jin scratched his head.
"It's a bit dumb, but I had been considering something similar to a talent show, where Bear Cub One and Mr Patsu would be the announcers. However, since I wanted to scrap the whole because of how odd it was, I really have nothing planned. Perhaps, we can just do some anticipated 1 vs 1 fights or maybe team-based fights, obviously with some restrictions as the entertainment." Jin suggested. Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\
"You should let the winner take part of the points of the loser, that way you will have more than enough volunteers. How about some betting? That would make it even more interesting for those looking at it, and I mean people do have to spend their System points somewhere. After all, there's a need to regulate System Points. Otherwise, our internal economy might be due for inflation." Kraft questioned with a mischievous smile.
"That sounds more like a colosseum idea rather than an indoor theatre stadium idea…" Claire remarked though she could not deny that from an economic point, what the Bellator said was true.
"Nobody is gonna fight Peppers though. She would just bomb the whole indoor stadium into kingdom come. Haahha!!" Milk teased the small bellator, who she saw was still eating a packet of chips without sharing with her. (How did she even bring that bag of chips into the scene?!)
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Please, if you were to fight, you would win, simply because of your large saggy mountains. Those monsters would be too distracted to concentrate." Peppers tried to spite Milk, but instead, she turned it into a compliment.
"Beauty itself is also a weapon. If I can use that to my advantage, why not? If you are lucky, perhaps there might actually be someone who would bow down to that flat chest of yours.- ARGH! Why are you spitting out your half-eaten chips onto me! Disgusting! My wonderful white cheongsam dress will get ruined by you!" Milk cried out as she tried to evade the next barrage of Peppers' spit attack.
Meanwhile, the others ignored their shenanigans that had become quite frequent in recent time. Given their interaction, it might be better to avoid physical (or magical) fights and instead turn it into game show fights.
Immediately Qiu Yue and Lynn put their hands up as they had some ideas for entertainment purposes. Thus, they immediately brought out some quick play ideas that they believed would be simple enough for group team games. One of them was to reuse the dodgeball game as the monsters had really enjoyed it, and many would love to have a rematch.
"I guess that can really be a time waster while they wait for their turns for me to distribute the red packets." Jin was happy to leave it to them, as he looked at the time. "Prize wise, it is simple enough, I can just pass them another set of red packets. Obviously not on the lottery again."
"It would be real funny if someone struck the top prize twice," Kraft said out loud, prompting Jin to quietly inform System to take note of any hampering of the lottery machine.
*Cough* "Can we make it in an hour's time? I did set the announcement thinking that it would just be a simple red packet giveaway."
"An hour? Please, Jin. You've tortured us with way less time." Qiu Yue winked at him, and she held onto Lynn's hand while teleporting to an undisclosed location to prepare the entertainment for the minions.
