Chapter 114 - 114: Making a Good Profit
When Wataru and Sato arrived at the lucky guy's slot machine, there was already a crowd around it.
The boy, with an ordinary appearance and a somewhat clumsy expression, stared intently at the machine in front of him. His hands were on the machine and only moved when he needed to insert coins, proving that he was alive.
"Wow, wow, he really is lucky; he's won quite a lot."
"So, you can play this way, just keep inserting coins, and even if you don't win the jackpot, the small prizes keep coming."
"Wow, he's won more than I make in a year! Sometimes fools are lucky..."
"Hey, I'm just curious... could he be cheating? That winning rate seems a little high..."
"Are you dumb? If he were cheating, those guys in black would've already caught him. Besides, there's someone else over there who's won even more..."
The crowd murmured around him. Sometimes, when you can't get something yourself but see others achieve it easily, you feel a bit resentful.
"Did you call the technicians? Is the machine okay?" asked Wataru, noticing nothing unusual about the boy. His hands were visible on the machine, with no way to cheat.
"They already came and checked it out, and they're still watching. They also adjusted the machine this morning; there are no issues," replied Sato quietly.
However, as the crowd grew, the boy's luck seemed to run out. He inserted more than a hundred coins without winning anything.
