Chapter 1: Seems to have won the jackpot

"Huh..." In a small dim room, a figure lying on the ground seemed to move and let out a low moan.

In the sound of rubbing clothes, the man sat up barely on the ground with one hand, rubbed his forehead with the other hand, and looked around in confusion.

This is a room of about 20 square meters. Except for a single bed and a computer desk under a small window, there is only one room placed against the wall, which is similar to a pharmacy filled with medicinal materials. Cabinet.

The difference is that the drawer is much larger than the medicine cabinet, and it is made of transparent acrylic.

Each box contains a low-wattage night light bulb, emitting a dim dim light.

There is a fish tank alone in the corner of the wall, not knowing what it is for.

The man sat there for a few more minutes, and his pale face and slightly blank eyes could be seen through the faint light.

A car was speeding past the street outside the window. The strong light shone through the glass on his face. He subconsciously raised his right hand to cover his eyes. Then he stared at his right hand as if thinking of something.

"My name is Shao Zifeng, I am 20 years old this year, and I am a sophomore at Sucheng University. My major is advertising and exhibition..."

"No, the major is cultivation studies..."

"Today is Wednesday, February 19th..."

"No, today is Tuesday, February 18..."

"There is another order that hasn't been processed, but...I was bitten by a round viper?" Shao Zifeng muttered to himself, staring blankly at his white right hand with slender and slender fingers, and there was nothing in the memory. The bite marks, and then irritably scratched the messy hair with both hands.

Shao Zifeng is a student at Sucheng University. In addition to his current student status, he also works part-time as the owner of a certain treasure shop. However, the things in his shop are quite special, selling some relatively small pets.

For example, those in the cabinet against the wall, the upper floors are the snakes of various species, and the lower are a few lizards. If the customer needs him, he can also help order curious pets such as spider centipedes.

He received an order when he was in class today. The customer was introduced by someone else and asked him to secretly raise a viper by name.

This thing is commonly known as the Kidney Snake and the Widowmaker. If it is bitten by it, it will cause irreversible damage to the kidneys even if you are lucky enough to survive. It is as horrible as men and women are tired.

Of course, this is not the reason why he kept secretly. The reason is that this snake is included in the "National Biodiversity Red List" and he dare not sell it.

was bitten to eat in the whole village.

sells jail time.

letting go and reluctant to let go.

In the end, Shao Zifeng compromised. He wanted to refuse, but the other party gave too much. He was just a poor student who had to rely on his hands to support himself.

Shao Zifeng hurried back to the rental house after school, and bought dinner and two-color **** on the way as usual.

Yes, since he first bought a scratch-off piece of 300 yuan under the bewitching of a friend, Shao Zifeng has always felt that he could win the big prize and move to the pinnacle of his life.

Lived the retirement life of mixing food and waiting to die in advance. By the way, he could also buy a large room with a yard for his mother, and hire a few people to help take care of the stray pets taken by her old man.

But reality gave him a heavy slap in the face. Even so, he would still buy a bet of two-color **** per issue, what if?

After returning to the rental house, Shao Zifeng picked up his laptop before dinner and got busy.

went to the snake cabinet and opened a drawer, carefully holding the snake inside and carefully watching it.

This is a small milky white snake with golden patches. The smooth and slender body is densely covered with fine scales. There is an arrow-shaped pattern on the top of the head. The direction of the arrow points to the tip of the nose. The upper and lower lips are lighter in color and the scales on the lips. It forms scale-like patterns with different color bands. The pupils are round and have ruby-like eyes.

"Albino corn snake, sub-adult, the temperature in the box is 23 degrees Celsius..."

Put the snake back in the drawer, Shao Zifeng bit the cap of the pen in his mouth, and carefully recorded in the notebook with his pen.

This is a habit that he has developed since he came into contact with climbing pens. For the pets he has raised, he will record everything from the individual species to the development status and even the feeding time.

After recording all the items, feed the snakes that are up to the feeding time according to the number.

The food is a little white mouse cubs specially bought on the Internet. Of course, they are dead. After all, he thinks he is little caring and he can't feed him with live food by himself.

Snakes can eat fairly easily. The larvae are fed twice a week, and the sub-adults once a week. The adults will have a firm skin, just a few days.

After waiting for the uncles in the snake cabinet, Shao Zifeng came to the square fish tank in the corner.

The bottom of the fish tank was covered with a thick layer of yellow sand, and several rockery-like rocks and animal bone models were randomly placed on it. A lizard about 20 centimeters in length was watching his large hand with a vigilant face.

South African armadillo lizard, the whole body is dark yellow, there are 6 large and obvious scaly scales juxtaposed on the back of the head, and the body and tail also have obvious scaly scales arranged in ribbons.

This is a very interesting lizard. Once encountered danger, it quickly hides in a crack in the rock.

If caught accidentally, curl the head and tail into a ball to protect the soft abdomen.

Because of the difficulty of breeding, South African armadillo lizards are difficult to export, so they are often sold at high prices in China (a Chinese water dragon is only a few hundred yuan, and South African armadillo lizards are like playing with tens of thousands).

This is only a client who has intentions. Shao Zifeng sought help from a relationship in the circle. The hateful thing is that the client has never appeared since then.

Shao Zifeng watched as the South African armadillo lizard biting his tail into a ball continued to stare at him cautiously, poked his rough scales with his finger, and threw a little food next to him.

South African Armadillo Lizard: (°ー°〃)

After finishing all this, he stretched his waist heavily. He didn't even want to eat and fell onto the bed. He pinched the bridge of his nose with his hands to relieve the soreness of his eyes. He always felt that he had forgotten when he was empty of himself. what.

picked up the phone and checked the time...

"Oh, I forgot to ship it to someone."

"Well...it's okay one day later? After all, he didn't set a time." Shao Zifeng muttered comforting himself, and then lay heavily on the bed.

After closing his eyes for half an hour, it was almost nine o'clock. He turned on the mobile radio and tuned to a frequently listened radio channel. As for why he listened to this channel often, of course it was because of the sweet and lovely voice of the anchor lady...

will broadcast the winning numbers for each issue.

Putting the mobile phone and the lottery ticket on the table, Shao Zifeng expressionlessly, as the sweet announcement of the young lady came to the drawer of the snake cabinet where the round viper was raised, he looked at the round viper that had coiled himself in a corner. He just raised a smile.

To be precise, he did not buy this snake from the channel. It was given to him by a greasy uncle in the circle when he was handling the inventory when he left the circle. At that time, Shao Zifeng, who had just opened the shop, took over many young snakes from the greasy middle-aged man. , The greasy middle-aged man was very happy, saying that the bottom box contained a good thing for him, which was a personal gift.

Shao Zifeng still remembers the fright he received while searching for information and writing notes.

"Little guy, how about finding you a new owner tomorrow."

Shao Zifeng squeezed the triangular snake head of the viper with his fingers tightly. The viper was pinched with its big mouth open. Two crystal clear fangs protruded out of the soft flesh, as if venom was flowing, making a hiss The sound, the slender body was tightly wrapped around his forearm, UU reading snake tail wrapped around his body again, locking and strangling Shao Zifeng.

Shao Zifeng was unmoved, and even looked at it with a smile, as if he was looking at his own wealth treasure balance.

"Listen friends, unknowingly, it’s time to say good night again. According to the usual practice, before saying good night, Xiaoxin will broadcast the new two-color ball winning numbers for everyone. The winning numbers of this issue are 03, 06, 17. 22, 25, 27, the last number 08... repeat 03, 06..."

"Om"

Shao Zifeng felt a burst of blood rushing to his forehead, and the number announced by the anchor Xiaoxin’s clear voice echoed in his ears. This was clearly the one he was chasing.

"Hey! Alright! I won!" Shao Zifeng quickly ran to the table and picked up the lottery ticket. The numbers on it were the winning numbers of this issue. Excited Shao Zifeng didn't even notice that the viper on his right hand was early. When he let go, he bit his tiger's mouth with one bite, and the venom rushed to the heart faster due to the excitement of the fast-flowing blood.

The sudden dizziness interrupted Shao Zifeng who was in ecstasy. After he recovered, he felt a sense of weightlessness. He looked down at his right hand, and the viper was still biting tightly. On the tiger's mouth, a pair of emotionless snake eyes stared at him, and he could even feel the viper still injecting venom into his body.

wants to raise his right arm, but it is too heavy.

After staggering a few steps, the whole person fell heavily to the ground.

My thinking is getting blurred as if frozen, I can only vaguely feel my hands holding the viper and the winning ticket.

"I... I seem to have won the jackpot..." And... this is the famous kidney-deficient snake Cyclops viper!

"My kidney..."
