The Strange Adventure of a Broke Mercenary Chapter 440

Chapter 171 Lottery Prizes

Jin re-entered the Dungeon Maker with a copy of the newly printed coupon booklet with him and asked the system to make a comparison between the one he had submitted with the current booklet he was holding. Jin wanted to know if any changes had been made and the system analysis came back in a jiffy.

"The quality of the coupon booklet has been compromised but the contents of the coupon booklet remain the same." The system informed Jin and he let out a sigh of relief. After this, Jin summoned Peppers into the dungeon maker although she was still in her pyjamas.

"Mind waking her up? I need her to do some work for me." This was the main reason why Jin had asked Yun to accompany him into the Dungeon Maker. He did not want to carelessly touch Peppers in any way in case it offended her. Besides, Yun had experience and was already an expert in waking up the members of the Morning Couch Club.

"Roger that, I thought you wanted me to prepare some of your lottery prizes." Yun smiled as she started to drag Peppers out of the Dungeon Maker to wake her up and get her changed.

"Well, if you are listening to my thoughts, then yeah. I would like your opinion on some stuff once I'm done with the creation of the prizes since I am targeting a diverse audience of both genders and I cannot be sure that I will get it right." Jin said.

The idea behind these lottery prizes was that if a customer bought more than 50 Yuan worth of items they would be entitled to a lucky draw ticket. The coupons along with the receipts were used as proof to enter the lucky draw. Despite this, unlike typical lucky draws, the customers would win a prize with every draw.

The idea was simple, there were several categories in the lucky draw. Mainly A, B, C, D, E and F. These 6 categories would be mishmashed into a box and customers would try their luck by picking a ticket out of the box. The ticket would correspond to the type of prize they would receive. Category A contained the best prize while category F contained something simpler.

So would Category A be easy to get? Nope. There were only three tickets in Category A since a smaller proportion of the tickets were allocated the higher categories. Maths and Logic stated that the probability of the customer winning a Category A prize was extremely small at the start of the event but the chance got higher when the box had fewer tickets in it. What's more was that once the tickets were placed in the box, they were fixed and could not be altered. Hence, it was all down to luck and simple probability.

Since Category F constituted the most of the tickets in the box, Jin decided to start with something simple. He decided to create straps with chibi versions of his monsters on them, something similar to what Jing Ru and Ren Wei had earned by completing their dungeon run.

Category E contained inkbrush paintings of random scenes in the dungeon, either of the landscape or random shots of the monsters which made good decorations at home.

Category D was actually the cups he used to serve the Black Ivory Coffee that had various designs of baby pandas tumbling around printed onto the cups.

Meanwhile, Category C were plush toys that not only came in the shape of pandas but also cute chibi versions of the Great White Snake, the Werebeasts' Faces and Mr Oink.

Category B was something special. He had purposely called various monsters to come into the Dungeon Maker once again, but this time it was for a photo shoot. He had recreated figurine poses using real life monster and the Dungeon Maker 3D-printed the entire picture as a figurine with a detailed background base that the figurine stood on.

For example, Ke Mi, the Zither Mistress, was stylised into a figurine that featured her sitting on the head of Great White Snake. The three goblins were grouped with Mr Oink into one figurine. Ripcaller, the dagger goblin, was lying on Mr Oink's head sleeping while the other two were sitting Mr Oink's back talking cheerfully to each other.

The leading werebeasts like Gold, Grey, Yellow, and Brown, were in a team fighting formation, each carrying their weapons as if they were being surrounded.

When it came to the zombie figurine, there were zombies coming out of the abomination's back while some zombies were being squashed by it. Last but not least, Jin made a figurine of Niu Lang and Zhi Nu holding both hands as if they had just rushed to meet each other on an old wooden red bridge. They even had magpies on both of their shoulders to signify the help of the Magpie Queen.

Lastly, for Category A, there were three unique prizes and similar to other categories, the prize-winner would not know which prize they had won until the ticket showed the name of the prize next to the prize category. One unique prize Jin had thought of was a booklet of tickets that contained one ticket to every dungeon instance ever made, excluding the arena and tickets to the service instances. The other prize was a secret prize for the cultivators but not for Jin as it is a figurine of Mr Derpy with the Deep Ones worshipping it. Not only would they receive this prize, but they would also receive each and every figurine that was in Category B.

The last prize was large. Very large. Jin had created a life-size adult Panda Plushie with premium quality synthetic fur that would not drop off easily while also having a nice texture to touch. He thought that the females and young girls would like it. The prize winner could actually use it as a sofa if he or she wished to, all they had to do was sit on the stomach and it would function as a beanie couch.

Jin did not know that could be done until… Peppers came in and comfortably slept again on top of the Panda's stomach. "Guess she did give her opinion in a way, even if it is a little unconventional. I guess I will let her off this time round." Jin smiled as he saw Peppers sleeping so comfortably on it. "Arggh! Don't drool!" Jin quickly took a tissue out from his storage watch and wiped Peppers' face but Peppers just continued to sleep like a log.

While all this might seem quite expensive seeing as how Jin had used quality materials for every category of prizes, he was quite unfazed by it. This was because everything would be paid for by the system since Jin had completed the mission where he would need to take a photo with a baby panda.

He passed the mission with flying colours and the system had no reason to reject him since the reward of that particular mission was to pay for the expenses incurred for the entire coupon creation.

"Looks all good," Jin was rather satisfied by the results of the prizes and decided to post them out today.
