UGB Chapter 131 The Red String Bracelet!
Chapter 131 The Red String Bracelet!
Jiang Bai glanced at the system panel.
Thanks to the continued popularity of "The Voice of China", his popularity score has rebounded to 250,000!
"Money talks!"
"Master! Strike him! Strike him to death!"
"Objective: An item to increase luck!"
Jiang Bai gritted his teeth and issued the order directly:
"Let's start with 300 shots! Just to test the waters!"
slam-la-
The virtual roulette wheel left afterimages as it spun, and system notification sounds came one after another.
Thank you for your patronage.
Congratulations on winning 500 yuan in cash.
Congratulations on obtaining: [One-Time Strength Pill] (Doubles strength for 10 seconds).
Congratulations on receiving: [Glamour Perfume (Sample)]
.......
Three hundred shots were fired, consuming 30,000 popularity points.
The items that came out filled a corner of the system inventory.
There was money, miscellaneous items, and even a few spare pairs of disposable stockings.
but!
There was absolutely nothing related to 'luck'!
"This is outrageous!"
Jiang Bai was so angry he almost wanted to overturn the row of empty seats.
"Three hundred shots! And not a single lucky shot?"
"This is just too unlucky! Did the luck boost from white sneakers and white stockings stop working?"
He doesn't believe in superstitions.
The gambler was overcome with envy.
"Again!"
"Add two hundred more rounds!"
"I refuse to believe it! I have 200,000 yuan, and I still can't get a lucky item?!"
Another 20,000 points were spent.
The roulette wheel spun wildly once again.
Thank you for your patronage.
Thank you for your patronage.
.......
Just when Jiang Bai was about to despair and was about to give up,
Ding!
A faint, pale red light finally flashed by.
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a special accessory: [Lucky Red String Bracelet].]
[Attribute: Increases luck by 10% when worn.]
[Note: This is an ordinary red string, but it's said to have been blessed. Wearing it will dispel bad luck and bring good fortune.]
"call......."
Jiang Bai let out a long breath, feeling completely exhausted.
"Five hundred shots..."
"A whole 50,000 yuan, and all we got in return was this tattered rope?"
"Only 10% more?"
Although the price-performance ratio is outrageously low, it's better than nothing.
Jiang Bai didn't dare to complain anymore. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he tucked his hands into the large pockets of his black trench coat.
With a thought, he took out the thin red string and fumbled to put it on his left wrist.
just now.
White sneakers (10%) + white silk (20%) + red string (10%) = 40% luck value.
"40% certainty..."
"That's about it."
Jiang Bai touched the red string on his wrist, forcing himself to comfort himself:
"Actually, maybe I was just too nervous."
"How easy is it to be unlucky?"
"Although Lao Zhang is shrewd, he has been completely fooled by my 'dear younger sister' rhetoric."
"My roommates are gossipy, but they would never guess that the brother they spend every day with is a cross-dresser."
"calm!"
"As long as I stay calm, no one can see through my disguise!"
Jiang Bai closed his eyes, took a deep breath in the dark corner of the auditorium, and tried to calm his racing heartbeat.
Two hours left.
The decisive battle is about to begin.
.......
Time seems to have been fast-forwarded.
4:30 PM.
The notification sound of my QQ account suddenly rang out; it was a message from the class group chat, a death knell.
[Class Monitor Chen Jie: @All members, please pay attention! Gather at the steps of the auditorium entrance for roll call at 5:30 sharp!]
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
The previously closed side doors of the auditorium were pushed open.
Although there was still an hour before the official start, the restless youthful energy of the freshmen was palpable.
One after another, students from various departments began to swarm in like bees returning to their hive.
Some people peeked out to watch the rehearsal, while other couples specifically sought out corners to whisper sweet nothings.
In the shadows of the last row of the auditorium.
Jiang Bai, wrapped in a black trench coat, looked through the gaps in his sunglasses at the ever-growing crowd at the entrance, feeling as if the chair beneath him had turned into a branding iron.
"I can't take it anymore..."
"This place is unbearable!"
Although this place is remote, as more and more people come, who knows, some sharp-eyed student or someone who's just bored might wander over here.
Once someone gets close, they see six men in black wearing fox masks, and a strange person wearing a trench coat with half of their white-stockinged legs exposed...
That's like mud falling into your crotch—even if it's not poop, it's still poop!
"Retreat! Change positions!"
Jiang Bai stood up abruptly and, in a low voice, gave orders to the six guardians beside him:
"This place is too conspicuous! It's not safe!"
"Come backstage with me! Let's find an empty storage room to hide in!"
Although the six delivery guys and girls were wearing masks and their expressions couldn't be seen, they still breathed a sigh of relief.
It's really embarrassing to be sitting here and being stared at like a monkey.
then.
Led by Jiang Bai, this group of men in black with an unusual style, taking advantage of the fact that the main group had not yet fully entered, scurried along the wall like a group of mice and quickly slipped into the side door leading to the backstage area.
Upon entering the backstage corridor.
The feeling of being constantly watched by thousands of eyes has finally disappeared.
Jiang Bai leaned against the wall and patted his chest.
"Phew... I'm alive again."
"Just stay backstage until the finale, then run away after your performance!"
Victory is within reach!
.......
at the same time.
Dormitory 404.
Su Ze stood in front of the mirror, sprayed half a bottle of hairspray onto his head, and styled his already flamboyant hairstyle into a messy, windswept mess.
"handsome!"
"Tonight, I'm the coolest guy in the audience!"
He glanced back at his phone, but there was still no reply from Jiang Bai.
"cut......."
Su Ze pursed his lips, looking utterly disappointed:
"That third brother of mine, he's really something else."
"He wouldn't reply even after I asked him to take a few photos; it's like he's vanished into thin air."
"No wonder he's single!"
Gu Dapeng carried a huge backpack filled with bottled water, sunflower seeds, and even two folding stools, intending to sit in the front aisle of the audience seats.
"Second brother, don't worry about the third brother, he's just destined to be a hard worker."
"Let's hurry! The class will have to assemble if we're late!"
Lin Le pushed up his glasses and took out their secret weapon from the cabinet.
Those were three LED light boards that were rushed out overnight.
Large, pink fluorescent letters flashed above:
[Angelica dahurica, fly bravely!]
[My brother will always be with me!]
[404's strongest support team!]
"Walk!"
Su Ze waved his hand and raised the light board:
"Set off!"
"Tonight, we must let the goddess feel the passion of 404!"
Three roommates, each with their own set of gear and an even stronger sense of affection, strode out of the dorm room with great pride and high spirits.
