Chapter 70 – The Evolution of Leeks
Chapter 70 – The Evolution of Leeks
"Everyone, please don't rush to grab the balls. Wait until everyone has registered, and then we'll proceed together!"
"Those who have registered can introduce their friends and family. For every five newcomers introduced, you'll get an extra free chance to grab a ball."
"We only have spots for two thousand people in this event, so don't miss out!"
The scene was lively. Those who had registered dashed out to find their friends, while those who hadn't were anxious, constantly urging the people in front to hurry up.
Two thousand people registered, but there was only one winning spot.
Everyone knew the odds of winning were even lower than finding a Xuantian Token.
But the reward was just too tempting!
Qin Yu's past life experience taught him one thing: no matter how low the odds, as long as the reward is rich enough, people will still rush to participate.
People always have a hopeful mindset, thinking they might be the lucky winner.
Besides, there's a free chance to try, so why not?
Soon, three to four thousand people gathered as everyone called their friends over.
Since they couldn't find the Xuantian Tokens anyway, they might as well try their luck here!
After spending a full hour, Qin Yu finally finished collecting the basic information of two thousand people.
"Alright, we've reached the limit. The rest of you can leave for now!"
Those who hadn't registered let out cries of disappointment.

"Please, let me register. I'm your family too!"
"Yeah, didn't you say this was a benefit for family? We're family too!"
Qin Yu clasped his hands together and said, "Sorry, everyone, this opportunity is limited."
"But our organization will continue to provide benefits in the future. I hope everyone will be just as enthusiastic next time!"
"I'll give you 10 Contribution Points. Can you let me grab once?"
Qin Yu gently shook his head.
Rules are rules. How could they be broken for a small immediate gain?
Qin Yu patted the large box and said to everyone:
"Let me reiterate the rules: if you grab a yellow ball, you get the right to purchase a Xuantian Token!"
"You can only rely on luck to grab, and using mental power or other means to cheat is prohibited."
"Those who haven't registered can supervise. If anyone is caught cheating, they will be replaced, and the whistleblower will get 3 extra chances to grab."
With these words, the unregistered 'family members' turned into hungry wolves, staring intently at those in line.
"Alright, everyone, line up according to the registration order and start grabbing!"
"This isn't fair!" complained someone at the back. "If someone in front grabs the yellow ball, won't our registration be in vain?"
"That's not true!"
Qin Yu explained, "The white balls that have been grabbed don't need to be put back in the box."
"Although those in front have an advantage, the chances of grabbing a yellow ball increase as you go further back."
"It's a trade-off!"
'Ah, I see!' Those at the back were secretly delighted.
'The yellow ball surely won't be grabbed easily. My chances are better being further back.'
'Let those fools in front go first!'
Meanwhile, those at the front were inwardly mocking.
'Hah, what good is a higher chance? Once I grab the yellow ball, those behind won't even have a chance to draw.'
'Watch closely, you poor souls at the back!'
"First up, Wang Kaiming, who invited ten newcomers, has three chances to grab a ball."
Wang Kaiming rubbed his hands together, adrenaline surging.
Having never participated in a lottery before, he found himself enjoying the thrill and excitement.
'It's starting...'
'Reaching in...'
'Got it...'
'So many little balls, which three should I choose?'
Wang Kaiming's mind was racing, his fingers lightly brushing over the small balls.
'The yellow ball, being the prize, must be at the bottom, so I'll reach for the very bottom.'
Wang Kaiming extended his hand down, grabbed three balls, and pulled his hand out.
"Phew, will I get it?"
Everyone focused on Wang Kaiming's hand, watching the box-opening moment with tense excitement.
Wang Kaiming took a deep breath and shouted, "Got it!"
His fist opened, revealing three white balls lying quietly in his palm.
To fit more balls in the box, Qin Yu had chosen the smallest size when purchasing them.
Each ball was only slightly larger than a mung bean.
"Didn't get it!"
"Great, we still have a chance!"
"That scared me for a moment. I thought he had it!"
"Hahaha... turns out he's a clown!"
Except for Wang Kaiming, who was disappointed, everyone else was quite happy.
"I... I'll pay ten Contribution Points. I want to draw again!"
Wang Kaiming said seriously, "I feel that yellow ball is close to me. It's a destiny!"
Qin Yu: "......"
'First-time lottery players always feel like they can hit the jackpot!'
"Paid draws can only happen after everyone has finished drawing. If you want to pay for a draw, please queue at the back!"
Those at the back urged, "Hurry up, don't waste everyone's time!"
"Destiny? Destiny has arranged for that yellow ball to be mine. You won't get it!"
Wang Kaiming puffed up and said to everyone, "That yellow ball is destined to be mine, and the Xuantian Token is destined to be mine. You're all just here to increase my odds!"
"Move aside and watch me draw the yellow ball right in front of you!"
The second person stepped up to the box and reached in.
Qin Yu said, "He Hao, you invited five people, so you have two chances to draw!"
"I feel the yellow ball is coming closer to me."
"Almost there, almost there..."
He Hao chuckled, his expression extremely sly.
One hand rummaged around in the box.
"Getting closer, getting closer, almost....."
"Wait, I want to report, he's cheating!"
Someone from the crowd rushed out, grabbed He Hao's arm, and pulled his hand out.
"What are you doing? Don't try to frame me!"
The person directly removed the ring from He Hao's hand and said to everyone:
"This ring, when worn, allows you to sense changes around you."
"His hand kept moving around just now because he was trying to cheat with this ring."
"Anyone can try wearing the ring to see."
He Hao snatched the ring back, angrily saying, "How did you know what this ring does when it's so discreet?"
The person chuckled, "What a coincidence, I made that ring."
"I'm an artisan from the Artifact Pavilion, and I took on the task you posted!"
"Just my luck!"
He Hao put the ring on and said to everyone, "There are at least tens of thousands of white balls in the box. Forget about randomly grabbing, even if they were spilled on the ground, you might not find them."
"Stop lining up foolishly!"
Qin Yu glared, about to speak, when someone in the crowd said:
"Oh, someone's just sour because they can't get the grapes!"
"Hah, what truth can a cheater speak!"
"You're just jealous of us, na-na-na-na-na..."
Hearing this, Qin Yu silently closed his mouth.
'Have the 'chives' evolved to this level now? They can find reasons and overcome difficulties themselves?'
