However, this lottery item was different. It could be placed directly in the shop. If one needed to buy it, they could go to the grocery store to buy it. The final lottery would also be held in the grocery store. It was very safe, so there was no need to worry about safety. That meant there was no need for the System to intervene.
Mo Tiankong was not stupid. Wouldn't he be letting the System take his Spirit Stones for nothing? There was no such thing.
In any case, he had been running the shop for so long. He was no longer a business newbie.
In general, this lottery was an entertainment game. Of course, it was also a money-making tool. Mo Tiankong decided the number of tickets sold each week and what the prizes were. Although the lottery numbers were not set by him, it did not matter.
Lottery games were only fun when there was randomness. Otherwise, there would be no point in doing things behind the scenes. If the person who set the lottery every time won the lottery, the time would be up, and no one would buy it.
Moreover, the final prize had to be more attractive to motivate warriors to buy it. After all, there would only be one winner. There would not be any second or third prizes.
The key was that the prize was also decided by Mo Tiankong. There was a lot of room for manipulation. As long as the value of the prize was controlled well and the number of tickets sold was several times higher, they could make a lot of money.
Moreover, it was different from the lottery on Earth. There was no such thing as not winning. As long as the tickets sold each week were sold out, they would definitely win.
There were tens of thousands of people in Sentry Town alone. In addition, after the cities were connected, a large number of warriors came every day. As long as the price of a single ticket was low, there was no need to worry about selling.
After all, for a martial artist, if there was a chance of winning a Ferghana Horse Card with one Spirit Stone, it was certain whether one would buy it or not. One Spirit Stone could not even buy a Wang Zai, so what if one won it?
This probability was still very attractive. It was also why many people on Earth habitually bought a few tickets. It was ten or twenty yuan. It was not a big deal if it did not win.
Therefore, this was also very promising. It was much more reliable than the Gatling gun. Because it was a group weapon, very few warriors would rent it. As a result, it was still displayed in the window.
Only Mad Lion was rented more. The rest of the time, it was displayed in the window. Mo Tiankong's strength had increased quickly, so it was not needed now.
Unless it was used during a sea monster riot. There were still many low-level monsters. However, the Spirit Stone consumption was still not a big deal.
Mo Tiankong felt that as long as it was released, many warriors would buy it. Moreover, this was also considered as an entertainment game........
It could be considered as bringing a leisure game to the Tianxuan Continent. Otherwise, it would be earning spirit stones to raise one's cultivation and then repeating the same boring life. It was a little boring.
Although he did not get what Mo Tiankong wanted, it was still acceptable. After all, cultivating the Auspicious consumed a lot of Spirit Stones. In addition, Mo Tiankong also wanted to play with the Gatling gun when he had nothing to do.
The next time the sea monster riot happened, he would drag the Gatling gun and shoot without restraint. Just thinking about it made him feel good. His current assets were still not enough. 300,000 Spirit Stones. If he kept shooting, 1,000 Spirit Stones per minute, it would only take him a little more than five hours.
Mo Tiankong still felt that it was a lot. Although the shop seemed to have a lot of income, most of it was from the System. He only had a 10% share. Moreover, it was directly converted into martial arts. Mo Tiankong's real income was only the Spirit Stones from the free items he received every week.
If it weren't for the fact that he sold the Eight Trigrams Saber Technique, Mo Tiankong's net worth was not as high as Fatty Tang and Zhang Tiannan's net worth.
These two guys were mostly equipped with groceries. Ferghana Horse Cards, Tang Sword, even Wangzai didn't know how many of them they bought. Thousand Island Lake Beer and so on, plus some rare treasures, they had a lot of money.
Considering their cultivation, if they were to rank their spending power, it was estimated that they could surpass 99.9% of the young warriors in Sentry Town. Some Wuzong level warriors could not even spend as much as them.
There was basically no one who could match their luxurious equipment. The only ones who could compare were the third generation warriors of the other two families and the mercenaries like the Kuang Tie.
The mercenaries' spending power was also considerable. Thousand Island Lake Beer was not cheap. They had bought it many times. In addition, half of the warriors had Ferghana Horse Cards, Tang Sword, and so on.
If there were some items that required Spirit Stones in the shop's update or the next update, the System had a precedent. The Treasure Hunting Compass was one of them, although the consumption of Spirit Stones was very small.
However, if there were new items like airplanes in the next update, Mo Tiankong would definitely want to try it. Airplanes were clear. How could one play without Spirit Stones?
Therefore, in conclusion, Spirit Stones were still a necessity. There were places that needed Spirit Stones everywhere. The road to making money would never stop.
After studying the items that he had drawn, Mo Tiankong got up. He ignored the Auspicious's expectant gaze and directly put them back into the card space.
Master Mo was getting lazier and lazier. After drawing the lottery, he was in a very good mood. He didn't want to cook or anything, so he walked upstairs.
.....
Tuesday
Mo Tiankong woke up early. When he was lying down at night, he was thinking about how to use the lottery items.
The time of the lottery and the time of the sale of the lottery tickets had to be fixed. This would attract a steady stream of people.
Then there was the problem of the prizes. He could use items from the shop as the prizes. Forget about Wangzai. It was not expensive and was not attractive.
If he used Wangzai as the prize, how much would a lottery ticket cost? One gold coin or one silver coin. Mo Tiankong felt that it was better not to earn money. The items that the shop received for free every week would be sold for a large amount of Spirit Stones. It was meaningless.
There were still many choices for the lottery items. There were also many items in the grocery store. Ferghana Horse Cards, Tang Sword, and some items that Mo Tiankong did not need.
When he opened the door of the shop, there were many martial artists outside. There were still many martial artists in the first two days of each week. Of course, this was in the past. Now, there were many martial artists coming to the grocery store every day.
With such a large population base like the Aquamarine Empire, there were dozens of cities and hundreds of towns. Even if ten or a hundred people came every day, there would be thousands or even tens of thousands of people. With the addition of the martial artists in Sentry Town, there was no need for any promotion.
There were many martial artists who came to his door. Of course, there were no missions now. After every main mission was completed, the System would release a mission after a period of time.
Mo Tiankong returned to the cashier, but there were two little tails behind him. They were Zhang Tiannan and Fatty Tang.
"I say, what are you two doing here every day?" Mo Tiankong asked casually when he saw the two of them come early in the morning.
"I haven't seen you for a day and I miss you, Store Manager Mo." Fatty Tang's mushy words came out of his mouth.
Mo Tiankong looked at the jiggling fat on his face. 'Like hell I'll believe you. Fatty, you're very bad.'
Furthermore, he was being remembered by a man. Just thinking about it gave him goosebumps. It was terrifying.
"Store Manager Mo, we're here to see if there are any new items in the store." Zhang Tiannan was still very simple and honest. He honestly stated the purpose of his visit.
In that case, Mo Tiankong understood. He came here every day to see if there were any new items in the shop.
After thinking about it, the store was already being upgraded. These people would know tomorrow. There were many martial artists in the hall now, so it was better to tell them.
"Cough cough, everyone quiet down." Mo Tiankong poured his Yuan Qi into the hall, and his voice echoed in the hall.
When the group of martial artists saw that it was Mo Tiankong who spoke, they all quieted down. Other than Mo Tiankong, no one dared to speak like this in the general store.
"Let me tell you something. There will be new items in the store tomorrow." Mo Tiankong continued when he saw that the noisy crowd had quieted down.
As soon as he finished speaking, the quiet hall burst into discussions and became noisy again.
"Hey, Store Manager Mo will be putting new items in the store tomorrow. Can you at least reveal it now?" Fatty Tang asked from the side.
As for why Fatty Tang was so persistent, if there were good items, he could go back earlier to swindle some spirit stones.
Mo Tiankong rolled his eyes. This guy was a bit stubborn. However, he didn't know what items he would get before the upgrade was completed.
"We'll know when the time comes."
"Store Manager Mo, can you reveal what the items are?" Just as Mo Tiankong finished speaking, many martial artists also asked. Clearly, their curiosity had been aroused.
"Cough cough, we'll know tomorrow." Mo Tiankong once again said to the martial artists in the hall.
Seeing that Mo Tiankong was still unwilling to reveal, Fatty Tang and Zhang Tiannan were a bit disappointed. However, at least they got the news that there would be new items in the store tomorrow.
"Store Manager Mo, we'll take our leave first." As usual, the two of them didn't buy anything and left.
Mo Tiankong also responded.
The two of them really did come to see if there were any new items in the store. However, it made sense. The two of them had already bought a lot of items before. When it was half price, Wangzai also had a lot of items. At the very least, Wangzai, who had cultivated to the Martial General Realm, would definitely have enough, provided that the two of them didn't sell them.
After the two of them left, the hall didn't quiet down. Once the martial artists from the various cities bought the items, the news would probably spread out. There would definitely be a lot of martial artists coming tomorrow.
At noon, Lin Shangren and Lin Si 'er, who hadn't come for a long time, also came. It was unknown if the news had spread to Yuanfang City or something else.
"Store Manager Mo." Lin Si 'er sweetly greeted.
"Store Manager Mo." Lin Shangren quickly followed.
"Oh, you two are rare guests." Mo Tiankong also responded.
"It hasn't been that long." Lin Shangren scratched his head. Sometimes, he would go into seclusion for ten days to half a month. Indeed, it hadn't been that long.
However, for Mo Tiankong, a week was already considered a long time. Furthermore, the two of them hadn't come for almost half a month.
"Hmph, isn't it because Grandpa told us to stay at home and cultivate? We haven't come out for so long." Lin Si 'er pouted.
