Chapter 3: A Million-Yuan Reward
【If you hadn't bought this set of numbers, the final first prize numbers wouldn't have changed.】
The answer given by the gray mirror was very concise.
It also shattered Su Yuan's idea of achieving sudden wealth by relying on the lottery.
"Is this shooting first and drawing the target later?"
Su Yuan also realized it.
First of all, the gray mirror definitely wouldn't make a mistake.
Since transmigrating to this world until now, the questions he had asked the gray mirror numbered at least eight or nine hundred, if not a thousand.
The answers finally given by the gray mirror covered all aspects, even encompassing those powerful civilizations deep in the universe.
There was no need to deceive him over mere lottery winning numbers.
Calming his emotions.
Su Yuan looked at the gray mirror and started asking again.
"How can I get money quickly?"
"Limiting condition: The money obtained must not have any risks, hidden dangers, or perils."
"Limiting condition: The method to get the money must be simple, something I can easily do."
After asking the question, Su Yuan stared at the gray mirror surface, waiting for a reply.
【Method One: At 7:45 PM\, in the corner of University City No. 63\, find a small white dog. Put the dog in your backpack\, call this number 1232*** to inform them that 'Wangcai' has been found\, and then wait on the spot. Ten minutes later\, the dog's owner will arrive. Hand the dog over to the other party\, and you will receive a reward of one million.】
【Method Two: Arrive at Yunfu Antique City at 11:00. At 11:15, stand in front of stall D18 and buy the wooden Buddha in the bottom right corner for twenty yuan. Inside this wooden Buddha, there is a golden Buddha from the Tang Dynasty, with a market price of 1.86 million.】
【Method Three: At the bottom of the Pujiang River...】
The gray mirror surface blurred and surged, and words continued to emerge one by one.
"One by one."
The gray mirror surface blurred and surged, continuously displaying words one by one, making Su Yuan's eyes dazzled.
"I'll go find that dog first."
Su Yuan looked at Method One, prepared a little, brought his backpack, and went straight out.
It was only 6:14 now, a ways away from the 7:45 given by the gray mirror.
Time-wise, it was still quite abundant.
"University City No. 63."
Su Yuan opened his phone's navigation and searched for the destination.
52 minutes later.
Su Yuan smoothly arrived at University City No. 63.
"Fortunately, there's still a bit of money left on my bus card,"
Su Yuan thought to himself. He had already gone all-in with his entire net worth on the Double Color Ball. Now he was penniless, with his pockets cleaner than his face.
"This should be the place."
Su Yuan arrived in front of a storefront.
This place probably hadn't been open for business in a long time. Weeds were growing in the cracks between the bricks at the entrance, and coupled with the lack of lighting, it looked gloomy and terrifying.
Su Yuan didn't mind, though.
The prerequisite he set for the gray mirror was that in the process of acquiring the money, he would be absolutely safe and there wouldn't be any hidden dangers.
As long as he followed the steps given by the gray mirror, there wouldn't be any accidents.
"Where's the dog?"
Su Yuan searched nearby for a long time but didn't find any trace of the small white dog mentioned by the gray mirror.
"Right, it should be at 7:45."
Su Yuan remembered the specific time given by the gray mirror.
It was at 7:45 PM that a small white dog would be found at this location.
And right now, there was still more than half an hour until the specified time.
Realizing this, Su Yuan casually found a step to sit down and wait.
At the same time, he unlocked his phone and looked at one of the 'hot searches'.
The 'hot search' title was: Whoever can find this little dog, the reward is one million.
And below the title was a photo of a small white curly-haired dog.
On his way here while riding the bus, Su Yuan had roughly figured it out.
The reason behind 'Method One' given by the gray mirror.
It originated from this 'hot search' from three days ago.
In fact, this 'hot search' had caused a huge stir in the Modu circle.
After all, as long as you found a dog, you could get a reward of one million. Who wouldn't be envious of that?
Moreover, those who spread this 'hot search' were basically well-known big bloggers, so there shouldn't be any problems regarding credibility.
When Su Yuan saw this 'hot search' back then, the thought of finding the dog also crossed his mind.
But he ultimately gave up.
Modu was so big, wanting to find a dog in it?
What was the difference between that and finding a needle in a haystack?
Maybe this dog had died long ago!
Every day, stray dogs were run over and killed on the road opposite Su Yuan's school.
Among them, there was no shortage of white curly-haired stray dogs.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was 7:44.
Su Yuan had long been observing the surroundings intently.
Not letting a single movement slip by.
Right at the exact moment the time reached 7:45.
"Squeak~"
A faint sound came from a corner not far away.
Su Yuan's spirit lifted, and he immediately approached.
This was an area covered by weeds.
Su Yuan pushed the weeds aside and found a dog hole at the bottom of the wall.
Right at this time.
A white dog's head suddenly popped out from the dog hole.
The white dog head had just started to look around when it noticed a huge figure staring fixedly at it.
"Awoo..."
The white dog head immediately sensed something was wrong and wanted to shrink back in.
But right after.
A large hand descended from the sky and pulled it out.
"Trying to leave?"
Su Yuan looked at the small white curly-haired dog he had hoisted up.
Actually, it couldn't really be considered a white curly-haired dog. Because its body hadn't been washed for a long time, it looked more like a gray curly-haired dog.
"Awoo..."
The curly-haired dog looked timid.
"Hmm?"
Su Yuan noticed that there was a nameplate hanging around the curly-haired dog's neck, with the word 'Wangcai' written on it.
"So this dog's name is actually 'Wangcai'?"
Su Yuan thought to himself.
"Don't worry, you'll be going home soon."
Su Yuan gathered his wits and quickly put the one million—I mean, the curly-haired dog—into his backpack.
Then he immediately took out his phone and dialed the phone number given by the gray mirror.
Inside a luxurious hotel room.
"Miss, Wangcai will definitely be fine."
"You've already contacted major bloggers to issue the reward, nobody can refuse one million."
A middle-aged woman said in a low voice.
Sitting on the sofa in front of her was a young woman.
The young woman had exquisite facial features, but at this moment, she appeared haggard.
Wangcai was exactly the dog she raised; having been together for many years, their bond was very deep.
Only a few days ago, when she was strolling in the mall, she accidentally let Wangcai get lost.
In order to find Wangcai back, she didn't hesitate to put up one million as a reward.
"I hope so."
The young woman sighed.
Logically speaking, it was true that no one could refuse to exchange a dog for one million.
But her fear was that Wangcai might not be recognized, or had died due to other unexpected reasons.
"Wangcai..."
The young woman closed her eyes.
Even though the middle-aged woman didn't say it out loud.
She also feared the worst for the Wangcai she raised.
Even though with the spread of the reward poster, people were calling every day.
Saying they had found Wangcai.
But when she rushed over, it was basically all fake.
Some people even dyed a black curly-haired dog into a white curly-haired dog.
Having no news of Wangcai for such a long time, the outcome was basically set.
Just as the young woman was grieving inwardly.
The phone next to her rang again.
The young woman rubbed the center of her brows but still picked up the phone.
The moment the call connected.
The young woman heard a deep voice coming through.
"Your Wangcai has been found by me."
"The address is University City No. 63."
The young woman froze absentmindedly on the spot.
"Miss, is there news of finding Wangcai again?"
The middle-aged woman next to her immediately spoke up, "Where is the address? I will have someone go confirm it right away."
These past few days, too many people had falsely reported finding Wangcai in order to get the one million reward.
In the beginning, the young woman even went to confirm it personally.
But later on, there were too many pieces of fake news, so she let her subordinates go and identify it.
"No need."
"I will go personally."
The young woman abruptly stood up, her beautiful eyes showing excitement.
"Go personally?"
The middle-aged woman couldn't quite understand.
"This time it might be real."
The young woman looked at the middle-aged woman, "He knows Wangcai's name!"
