The subsequent plot had little to say. The second set of blind box "Hua Huang Prize" was sold out in less than five minutes. This was because every customer in line bought the maximum of five tickets at once, no one would foolishly buy just one ticket anymore. If it weren't for this five-ticket limit rule, many players would probably have bought more than ten tickets each.
Although the second sale was different from the first version of the script, it had its own excitement. First, the very first player drew an A prize from the box, drawing the only A ticket out of seventy-five tickets, once again causing a stir throughout the venue.
Immediately after, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, worth 8,000 yen, was pulled out by the third player, causing a sensation.
Then came the B and C prizes. After only nine players and forty-five tickets sold, all the grand prizes had been drawn. The remaining thirty tickets in the boxes were all minor prizes.
This left the tenth customer with a frustrated expression. With his five tickets, aside from a gamble on the hidden reward, he had almost no chance of winning. Buying now, he would most likely lose money.
His five attempts would only benefit the subsequent buyers. This put him in an awkward position. After hesitating for a while, this player directly chose to give up.
The following players naturally fell into the same predicament and chose to give up one by one. At this point, the onlookers suddenly discovered a weakness of the blind box "Hua Huang Prize": once someone with extremely good luck drew all the A, B, and C grand prizes in advance, almost no one would be willing to be the next buyer, and the blind box "Hua Huang Prize" would inevitably suffer a significant loss.
From this perspective, the merchant was an idiot and unlucky. They could "pluck wool" from the merchant. Thinking this, the onlookers' moods suddenly improved for some reason, while Boss Huang's expression became somewhat awkward and uncomfortable.
However, Boss Huang was already prepared for such a situation. He decided to buy twenty tickets himself, leaving ten tickets in the box, which would trigger the rule of collecting all ten tickets. For 5,000 yen, he would have a chance to get the L prize.
At this crucial moment, the beautiful shrine maiden once again stepped forward. She was originally at the back of the line, but as the players in front of her gave up one by one, when it was finally her turn, she said decisively, "I intend to spend 15,000 yen to buy all the remaining tickets. Who agrees? Who opposes?"
Well, this beautiful shrine maiden had lost quite a bit before and was determined to break even on the second day. Thus, she kept an eye on the queuing speed and calculated her way to become the fifteenth player in the line.
In the beautiful shrine maiden's view, the fifteenth player had a high probability of being the last player, thus getting a chance at the L prize. Even if all the earlier prizes were gone, she would at least get a grand prize, perfectly escaping her bad luck.
Unexpectedly, the luck of the first few players was so good that they drew all the grand prizes thirty tickets in advance, forcing the beautiful shrine maiden to face this dire situation.
However, the determined beautiful shrine maiden, who was dead set on a big win, could only grit her teeth and choose to spend the inevitably losing 15,000 yen to buy all the remaining tickets, just to get an L prize.
In a way, her luck was truly terrible.
As a result, no player was willing to snatch up the blind box "Hua Huang Prize" anymore, so the beautiful shrine maiden successfully acquired all the tickets. However, when she finally received the L prize, she didn't feel much joy, but rather a heart full of frustration.
"I'll never play this blind box 'Hua Huang Prize' again!" the beautiful shrine maiden muttered to herself. Then she heard Boss Huang announce that since everyone was so enthusiastic today, he would continue to play with them.
He would prepare ten more sets of the blind box "Hua Huang Prize" just like today's second set. That is, 500 yen per draw, for a total value of 37,500 yen for the blind box "Hua Huang Prize."
Tomorrow, at the same time and place, all interested players were welcome to come and draw prizes again.
"Tomorrow! I will definitely draw an A prize tomorrow!!" the beautiful shrine maiden clenched her fist and vowed to the heavens, then walked out of the Akihabara building.
"Miss, shall we return to the mansion?" As soon as the beautiful shrine maiden came out, a beautiful girl dressed in a maid outfit immediately asked her.
Because Akihabara was full of girls in maid outfits, the appearance of this maid was not out of place. However, a Porsche parked by the roadside was particularly eye-catching.
"Yes, we'll come back tomorrow!" the beautiful shrine maiden said, then the two of them walked towards the Porsche parked by the roadside. However, halfway there, the beautiful shrine maiden suddenly stopped, a look of realization and embarrassed anger on her face.
"Wait... I think I've been tricked!" the beautiful shrine maiden mused to herself.
Then she immediately took the witch and changed direction, heading back to the Akihabara building. By now, most of the players had dispersed, as the day's activities were over. Only Huang He and other staff were cleaning up near the stage, preparing to leave.
"Hey, what's your name?" The beautiful shrine maiden stepped onto the stage and asked Huang He unceremoniously.
"Are you asking me?" Huang He was stunned for a moment, then noticed the beautiful shrine maiden's angry gaze. He smiled and retorted.
"That's right, I'm asking you. Are you guys plotting against me!" the beautiful shrine maiden asked angrily.
"Plotting? Why would I plot against you?" Boss Huang couldn't help but laugh.
"Wait, aren't you his plant?" Mutou Game, who was observing from the side, asked.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be a plant!" the beautiful shrine maiden became even angrier, that someone would question her as a plant!
"Although I did arrange for several plants, this lady is indeed not among my plants. But to be fair, she is more like a plant than my plants! However, I truly don't know what I've plotted against you!" Boss Huang said with a laugh, then unhesitatingly admitted that he had prepared plants.
Mutou Game, listening from the side, had his eyes light up. If these words were written into his article, they would sell like hotcakes.
However, considering Boss Huang's status, he gave up. If he dared to write such an article, perhaps the magazine could make a fortune, and he might suddenly jump off a bridge, or lie on the railway tracks, or run into the forest to hang himself, and so on. In short, there were many ways to die by suicide, so he wouldn't lack a suitable one.
"Yes, perhaps you weren't plotting against me, but against all Yu-Gi-Oh! players!" the beautiful shrine maiden said loudly. "I just realized that everything that happened the day before yesterday and today was arranged by you."
"You deliberately chose a time with many people, went to the shop with the most Yu-Gi-Oh! players, bought all the card boxes in the shop in front of a large number of players, and then held a lottery, all with the aim of attracting the attention of Yu-Gi-Oh! players like me, and then giving yourself an opportunity to hold this 'Hua Huang Prize' blind box event today!" the beautiful shrine maiden explained.
"Cough, cough, Miss, there's something you might have forgotten. If you hadn't come to talk to me the day before yesterday, none of today's events would have happened, would they?" Boss Huang coughed and defended himself.
"No, I just happened to be there. Even if I hadn't spoken, you would have had plants ready to speak and create opportunities and excuses for you!" the beautiful shrine maiden countered.
"That's right, I said you were a plant! Can someone who isn't a plant do this?" Mutou Game muttered from the side, earning a fierce glare from the beautiful shrine maiden.
"And then there's today's event. Judging by the story you're trying to create, this seems to be just a coincidental event, and this 'Hua Huang Prize' blind box is also a random game mode you came up with, just to win a bet with me!"
"But in reality, all of this is a meticulously planned conspiracy. You've long thought of the 'Hua Huang Prize' blind box strategy and gameplay, and you've long planned today's event."
"The most obvious evidence is these lottery tickets. These tickets are printed very beautifully, with anti-counterfeiting designs, and even the words 'Hua Huang Prize' are printed on them. These are definitely not tickets that an ordinary enthusiast could produce. You would need to find the most professional special printing factory and spend several days designing the template to print these tickets. Two days is simply not enough!"
"And your acrylic card boxes. They look like ordinary card protector boxes sold on the market, but their thickness is different. The thickness of these protector boxes is about two centimeters, otherwise, they couldn't hold more than ten cards. Acrylic protector boxes of this size are not sold on the market at all and need to be custom-made by a specialized manufacturer. These are also props that cannot be produced by a casual hobbyist's idea!"
"And finally, the biggest flaw is your venue. I was originally wondering why the first floor of the building, which is usually packed, was so empty today."
"Only after the crowd dispersed did I realize that there were originally several counters and a temporary shop here, all of which had been moved. And no security guards came to drive us away today, which is 100% abnormal!"
"The only possibility is that you've paid to rent this space in the mall to hold activities. This can be proven by the fact that you're asking everyone to come to the same place at the same time tomorrow for the event. If you hadn't made prior arrangements with the mall, this would be impossible to achieve!"
"In conclusion, I am convinced that all of this is your scheme. You are not a Yu-Gi-Oh! enthusiast at all, and this 'Hua Huang Prize' blind box is not a spontaneous activity. Instead, it is a marketing campaign that you have meticulously prepared. Your fundamental goal is to promote this obscure new product, the 'Hua Huang Prize' blind box, through these activities, and then to sell your 'Hua Huang Prize' blind box massively in the future. These are all your business plans, and you have tricked all of us!" the beautiful shrine maiden said, hands on her hips, her considerable pompadour standing tall.
"Wow, this girl isn't stupid!" Boss Huang muttered to himself.
