Chapter 112 - Why Is It Hard To Make Money? (2)
Unlike the amusement park, it was the first time Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng had been to an arcade. They were aware that this place was being frequented by other students like them, but neither of them had expected that the place would be as crowded and as lively as this.
The two shared a knowing look, but Su Xiaofei could only shrug as they watched Qiao Yuhan's eyes sparkle with delight. He was obviously happy to be brought to this place.
"Have you been to one before, Xiao Han?" She asked the young boy.
"En!" The little boy nodded his head and grinned widely at Su Xiaofei. "Dad brought me once to an arcade in Shenjing. Actually, it was a huge building with five floors on it. A day wasn't enough for us to play all the games there."
"Wow, that sounds amazing." Su Xiaofei commented. She supposed Qiao Yuhan was very lucky that their father was able to spoil him to such an extent, despite Qiao Fengying's busy schedule at work.
"Fei Jie, if you ever come with Brother Lu and Qian Jie to Shenjing, I will give you a tour." Qiao Yuhan promised her.
"Then, I'll hold on to your promise, Little guy." Su Xiaofei smiled at him, before taking his hand as they entered the arcade and bought tokens at the counter.
She and Qiao Yuhan tried several games, while Lu Qingfeng followed the two, making sure no other guys would dare to hit on Su Xiaofei. She was currently preoccupied with Qiao Yuhan, so she didn't realize that there were a few young men who stopped whatever they were doing to check out the beautiful elder sister who was playing with her little brother.
Lu Qingfeng shot them an icy look, effectively chasing them away. With such a handsome young man accompanying the pretty girl and her little brother, most of them naturally assumed that he was Su Xiaofei's possessive boyfriend.
"Xiao Feng, aren't you going to play with us?" Su Xiaofei asked, when she noticed that Lu Qingfeng's attention wasn't on the game she and Qiao Yuhan were playing and was looking around them instead.
"No need. I'm just here to accompany the two of you." He coolly replied.
"Oh? Does that mean Brother Lu isn't playing because he's chickening out? You aren't afraid to lose, right, Brother Lu?" Qiao Yuhan grinned at Lu Qingfeng, igniting another round of competition between them.
"Little guy, are you really asking me to kick your butt this time?" Lu Qingfeng replied.
Qiao Yuhan huffed and puffed his cheeks as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"I might be young, Brother Lu, but that doesn't mean you can easily beat me, right, Fei Jie?" The little boy replied with such confidence about his playing skills.
Lu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes on the young boy. He wasn't planning to entertain his future brother-in-law's teasing, but he didn't like how Qiao Yuhan clung onto Su Xiaofei's arm as if he was afraid to lose her.
"Feifei, let's switch. I'll play with Xiao Han." He said, earning a giggle from Su Xiaofei.
"Aiya, how can you easily be provoked by a little boy, Xiao Feng?" Su Xiaofei laughed as she vacated her seat, allowing Lu Qingfeng to take over the game she was playing with Qiao Yuhan.
Meanwhile, Su Xiaofei took this chance to look around and observe other people playing games in the arcade. It seemed like students weren't the only ones here, there were also adults who were playing games using real money to win.
As she observed the adults play and win money, the gears in her mind started to roll as she thought of how she could earn the 100 million she needed to save Bluemedia from Mo Yuchen.
Her attention then drifted to the casino that was right in front of the arcade. Su Xiaofei shook her head as she thought that it's not worth gambling the money she currently had.
'It might lead to addiction.' She thought. 'I don't want to end up like that scum.' She was thinking about her adoptive father.
The more she thought of it, the more options popped in her mind, but there's one thing that piqued her interest.
Lottery.
How could she not have thought of that earlier? She could win the prizes, using the winning numbers she remembered in the past.
In her previous life, there was this episode on TV that she'd seen during her stay at Qiao Yuhan's villa. The theme of the episode was about lottery winners who easily lost their fortune and how they regretted it.
The reason why Su Xiaofei was able to remember it was because at that time, she wondered if she had won a lot of money like them, she would rather use it on several investments to earn more money rather than spending it like a one-day millionaire.
However, there was a problem, though. The tickets for the lottery would cost her at least 180 each and the top prize she could win was only 5 million, which was a lot of money for common citizens of the country, but not that much for Su Xiaofei, especially so for Lu Qingfeng.
Su Xiaofei sighed. Having five million was better than nothing. She thought. Perhaps she should consider other options to raise money and how she could grow that five million somehow.
As she glanced at Lu Qingfeng's way, she wondered if she should ask for his help.
"Brother Lu, are you sure you know how to play this game and not just guessing which button you should push to attack?" She heard Qiao Yuhan's laugh, pulling her back to reality.
Su Xiaofei saw that the frown on Lu Qingfeng's face had deepened, indicating that he wasn't pleased with the little boy's teasing. She rested her folded arms over his shoulder and grinned.
"Young Master Lu, you're going to lose at this rate." She teased him.
"I'm just not used to the controls yet.." He reasoned.
