"Boss, how much stock do you have left today? Will there still be a limited purchase?" Two weeks before Boss Jia arrived in the United States, Little Fatty ran to the door of a grocery store and asked curiously.
"There's no limit. It's completely open today. I can finally see some of the machines that can't be sold!" The grocery store owner sighed. If he saw something that couldn't be sold normally, the owner would be anxious.
But now, the owner only felt touched. It was the biggest miracle in two months that he could see that the Pocket Electric Pets couldn't be sold. He was really touched.
Because the Pocket Electric Pets were selling too well before, and there were too many scalpers coming to buy them, the Daqian had to issue a limited purchase order. All grocery stores could only sell at most two Pocket Electric Pets to each player.
It was also because of this limited purchase order that Little Fatty didn't come to buy a new Pocket Electric Pet after buying only two. Little Fatty planned to wait until there were fewer people and the limit was lifted before selling.
In fact, Little Fatty's plan was very simple. That was to buy all 20 different Pocket Electric Pets in this issue. As for Fantasy, Little Fatty still didn't have any thoughts about it.
Although now with the continuous sales of "Gaming Life" magazine, Little Fatty was also a rich person and had become a little celebrity in the circle. He actually had 100,000 USD in savings.
But Little Fatty still understood the principle of spending money carefully. He had heard too many stories of people who spent tens of thousands of USD or even hundreds of thousands of USD without getting a Fantasy.
However, the little fatty also knew one thing, and that was that a little kid who lived only two houses away from his house actually spent only 9 dollars to buy a fantasy.
Later, the kid sold the Fantasy for 50,000 USD. His family's living standard skyrocketed, but this money was said to be deposited in the bank by his mother in the form of a university fund.
Well, it was precisely because of the influence of these deeds that the little fatty admitted that he was lucky. He felt that perhaps he was a lucky guy. As long as he bought 20 full sets of pocket electronic pets, he would be able to obtain a fantasy.
"Full set?" The owner scratched his head and said, "The others are easy, but I don't have any more Pikachu. Pikachu is the best seller. As soon as it arrived, it was sold out in the blink of an eye. I really don't have any more!"
"Then let's start with the other 19!" Little Fatty sighed. The boss chuckled and neatly placed 19 electronic pets in front of Little Fatty.
"Dreamy!" Little Fatty muttered, then activated an electronic pet in his pocket.
Logically speaking, only when the pet egg hatched would they know whether the bag contained Dreamy or not. However, as more and more players obtained Fantasy eggs, a rumor began to spread among the players. It was said that all pet eggs looked the same, but the Fantasy pet egg was different. The Fantasy pet egg had an auspicious cloud symbol at the bottom left corner of the eggshell.
The symbol wasn't big, but one didn't need to look at it carefully to see it. As long as one could see the symbol of the auspicious cloud, one would know that what was inside was a dream.
This was an urban legend to other players, but to Little Fatty, the editor of a game guide magazine, he had collected a lot of information to prove the authenticity of this urban legend.
He even received a video. It was a rich player who used a video camera to record the process of him opening an egg. It was a bit like the current VLOG.
In the video, the rich player opened nearly 60,000 USD worth of electronic pets. Finally, on the 6831st egg, he opened a Fantasy egg.
As the camera was pointed at the screen of the electronic pet, Little Fatty was sure that he saw the white cloud symbol.
Therefore, when the pet egg hatched, Little Fatty immediately looked for the white cloud symbol on the eggshell of the pet bag.
Of course, Little Fatty only received disappointment.
After that, Little Fatty opened all 19 of the electronic pets one by one, but he didn't see a single 'Hello, hello, hello, hello' mark.
However, this was normal. After all, the rich player opened more than 6,000 eggs. Little Fatty was dreaming if he thought that he could get a Fantasy egg with just 19 eggs.
"Sigh! Forget it! " Little Fatty muttered in his heart. According to the agreement he made with himself, if he didn't get a Fantasy egg from the egg he bought this time, he definitely wouldn't continue. Otherwise, it would be a waste of money.
Although that was what he thought, Little Fatty was still a little unwilling. When he was about to turn around, the boss of the grocery store suddenly said, "Little guy, can you wait for 20 minutes? I just received a call. The Daqian has already delivered the goods. Is there a Pikachu in those goods? "
"Oh! Then I'll wait a little longer! " Little Fatty immediately said. He remembered that his agreement with him was to open 20 pockets of electronic pets. This Pikachu had not arrived yet, so naturally, the agreement was not over yet. Who knows, there might be a Fantasy hidden in that Pikachu!
However, the waiting time was long. The boss of the grocery store said 20 minutes, but Little Fatty estimated that it had been 30 to 40 minutes. The Fantasy egg still hadn't arrived. Little Fatty looked at the other electronic pets in the store and fell into a constant struggle.
"Little brother, do you want to buy an electronic pet?" Just as Little Fatty was struggling, a shifty-eyed young man suddenly jumped out and asked.
"I can buy it here!" Little Fatty immediately said vigilantly.
"Don't, my pet is cheaper than the grocery store!" The young man immediately said, "My pet is only 8.50 USD. Do you want it?"
"8.50 USD? Are you for real? " Little Fatty was shocked at first, then he reacted and said, "You're a scalper, right? There's no shortage now. You want to sell the goods in the store. This one is cheap, right?"
"Little brother, you're so smart. That's right!" The young man nodded with a bitter smile. "I'm a scalper, yes, but these electronic pets are all genuine goods. They're 50 cents cheaper, and all of them haven't been opened. They're all brand new. Maybe there's a Fantasy inside!"
"It's true that they haven't been opened. In your store, there are some Pocket Monsters like mosquitoes and frogs that can't be sold!"
"Nonsense, if it's easy to sell, why would I sell it to you for 8.50 USD? How about it? Do you want it? If not, I'm leaving! "The scalper said.
"Well, since it's cheaper than the normal price, I can't miss this opportunity. There's no other shop like this after a while. I'll take a small gamble!" Little Fatty said to himself in his heart. Then he took out 10 USD from his pocket and said, "Then I'll take one!"
The young man's eyes were sharp. He saw the 100 USD in Little Fatty's wallet. He rolled his eyes and said, "How can you buy one? How about this? You buy 12 and I'll sell it to you for 100 USD. You can save a lot of money! "
"100 USD … 12 … According to 8.50 USD for one, that's 102 USD. I've indeed saved another 2 USD!" Little Fatty felt that he had made a profit. Therefore, he took out 100 USD and bought 12 Pocket Monsters.
Then, he activated the pet eggs one by one. In the end, his face turned pale. He still didn't see a Fantasy.
"Little brother, do you still want it?" The young man saw that Little Fatty didn't open a Fantasy and asked with a smile.
"I don't think so …" Little Fatty was a little distressed for his USD.
"How about this? I still have 118 here. I'll sell them all to you for 1,000 USD!"
"1,000 USD!" Little Fatty licked his lips.
"If it's 118, then you really have a high chance of opening a fantasy. Yesterday, I sold 100 to a little girl, and she opened a fantasy on the spot!" The young man said solemnly. The little fatty was shaken again.
"Anyway, I still have 100,000 USD. 1,000 USD isn't much to me. If I can get a Fantasy …"
"Alright, I'll buy it!" After struggling for five minutes, Little Fatty took out another 1,000 USD and bought all the Pocket Monsters in the young man's hands. The young man left happily.
Three minutes later …
Little Fatty sat paralyzed in front of the grocery store. Looking at the table of activated Pocket Monsters in front of him, he fell into a deep depression.
"Little guy, your Pikachu is here. Do you want it?" The grocery store owner finally brought the Pikachu over and asked.
"Yes!" Little Fatty sighed and bought the Pikachu. When he opened it, there was still nothing. Then, Little Fatty stared at the hundreds of Pocket Monsters on the table in a daze.
"You should go! You won't get a Fantasy! "A rational voice in his heart said.
"But I've already spent 1,000 USD!" Another voice said.
"But you might have to spend more than 50,000 USD to open a Fantasy. 1,000 USD is just a lesson!" The rational voice said.
"No, maybe if I have another 1,000 USD, I can get it!" Little Fatty touched his face and then said to the store owner, "Boss, I want to buy 100 of them!"
"Okay!" After that, the store owner happily handed the 100 unopened Pocket Monsters to Little Fatty.
The result was self-evident. None of them were there.
"Forget it. You've already wasted 2,000 USD. Hurry up and go home!" The rational voice persuaded.
"But I've already spent 2,000 USD … Let me try spending another 1,000 USD!" Little Fatty muttered.
…
"Sigh, another crazy one!" Looking at Little Fatty who had already bought more than 10,000 USD, the store owner shook his head pitifully. Then, he immediately called the Daqian and asked them to send another 2,000 Pocket Monsters.
The store owner was experienced. If Little Fatty didn't open a Fantasy, he wouldn't give up.
But the problem was that all 2,000 Pocket Monsters were activated. Little Fatty's eyes were a little sore, but he still couldn't find a trace of Fantasy.
"Let's go! Let's go home! I've already spent 30,000 USD! "The rational voice in Little Fatty's heart was about to cry.
"But I've already spent 30,000 USD. If I don't get a Fantasy, won't I lose all the 30,000 USD?" Little Fatty was about to cry. Then, he bought another 100 Pocket Monsters.
