Chapter 862 - 862: Best Luck

In most software when people grab red envelopes, the amounts each person gets are directly revealed, with the luckiest shown at the top.

However, the software designed by Lu Yao is different. When users choose not to reveal their amounts, the default is to hide them, only showing the "luckiest" person.

Simply put, like if there are three red envelopes and three people grabbing them.

One grabs five yuan, another grabs ten yuan, then the crown symbolizing best luck would appear above the avatar of the person who grabbed ten yuan.

If a third person grabs fifteen yuan, the crown would automatically transfer to their avatar.

Xiao Feng attracted attention because there was a crown on his avatar.

"Boss, how much did you grab?" Old Har couldn't resist gossiping.

Xiao Feng chuckled: "Anyway, you all got a bit more."

The words were obviously as good as unsaid, so Old Har had to turn his attention to others and sneakily asked: "How much did you grab?"

The others naturally didn't want to disclose and kept deferring, asking others to reveal first.

Just then, Xiao Feng said: "Don't waste time guessing back and forth. I bet that the most anyone grabbed here was less than five yuan."

Everyone looked at each other speechless for a while.

Finally, the little girl couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Feng ge, how are you so sure?"

"Everyone should know, with this software, regardless of how many parts the red envelopes are divided into, only ten thousand yuan can be sent at most at once, while I..."

At this point, Xiao Feng paused, long-pressed the screen. When the prompt "Do you want to reveal the amount?" appeared, he unhesitatingly chose "Yes."

At the same time, he continued: "Sorry, I grabbed nine thousand nine hundred ninety-five."

"..."

Everyone present stared at the number shown on the phone, feeling somewhat tricked.

Damn it, there's just ten thousand in total, and you alone grabbed nine thousand nine hundred ninety-five, are you sure there's no foul play?

Also, is this supposed to be just a little more than ours?

Originally, quite a few suspected their low amounts were because the red envelopes Du Qingyue sent were too small.

But facts proved it simply wasn't the case!

"How is this possible, too unfair, isn't it?" The little girl pouted, somewhat dissatisfied.

Lu Yao raised a hand to her nose, rubbed it, and dryly coughed: "It could be a program error. When I designed this software, I mainly considered communication functions.

The entertainment part is still in the testing phase, not particularly stable yet."

"No problem, I'll send another one, everyone can grab again." Du Qingyue tried to smooth things over.

With that, she sent another big package.

"Ding!"

Hearing the notification sound, everyone instinctively picked up their phones, ready to grab.

But before they pressed, Xiao Feng sighed: "Don't bother, no matter how you grab this time, it's unlikely you'll get over one yuan."

At that moment, time seemed to freeze.

Everyone stayed put, watching Xiao Feng turn his phone screen.

That number made of four nines was glaring like the dawn just peeping from the horizon.

"No way, no more, a ten thousand yuan red envelope, divided into thirty pieces, grabbing just a few cents each time, doesn't that make it more frustrating!"

The little girl tossed her phone onto the table, her crescent-like brows furrowed, clearly agitated.

The others also lost interest and put away their phones.

The fun of grabbing red envelopes lies in no one knowing how much they can grab and who has the best luck.

Xiao Feng being lucky enough twice to seem like cheating, where's the fun in that?

Du Qingyue was quite helpless about it, looking to Xiao Feng she said: "How about you leave the group for now?"

"What does leaving or not leaving the group have to do with it?" Xiao Feng looked innocent: "Grabbing red envelopes depends on character and luck.

I'm probably having good luck because I saved so many people.".

Old Har and others wore constipation-like faces, implying our character's just worth a few cents?

"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"

From their pockets, phone notification sounds rang.

Everyone pulled out their phones to check, each sporting a brilliant expression.

The message came once again from Lu Yao's developed app, saying Du Qingyue started a "vote to kick out" the one who had best luck twice.

"I must remind you, people sometimes need to look further ahead, be mindful when voting, think thrice before acting." Xiao Feng openly threatened.

Then they saw the screen showing the vote passed, with a blue box saying: You are now restricted from certain functions for 24 hours.

Of course, this was Lu Yao's designed mini-program. The so-called "vote to kick" doesn't actually kick someone out of the group.

The kicked-out still receives group messages, it's just as the system prompts, most functions are restricted.

The person can't actively send messages, nor can they grab red envelopes.

"Ding!"

The crisp notification sounded, and those who had been waiting eagerly began to tap their screens like mad.

"Got it, got it!" Hui Yi excitedly said: "I got three hundred sixty, how about you?"

"I only got two hundred!"

"Hehe, sorry, I got four hundred fifty."

Everyone eagerly revealed their amounts won from the red envelopes, but none got less than two hundred.

"Old Har, how much did you grab?" Aspergillus oryzae, noticing Old Har's odd expression that he'd yet to speak, couldn't help but ask.

"About the same, about the same as everyone else." Old Har hid the truth.

Aspergillus oryzae showed little reaction on the surface, but after a moment seized Old Har's phone, seeing the number he burst out laughing.

"Hahaha!" Aspergillus oryzae laughed loudly: "Two hundred fifty? Haha, that number suits you perfectly."

Old Har's face darkened, he said to Lu Yao: "Miss, better change this red envelope function quickly."

"Okay." Lu Yao nodded in agreement, her eyes full of apology.

Yet, objectively speaking, it's not entirely her fault.

Software development is like this, technically skilled or not, without testing, it's impossible to guarantee it's bug-free.

Whether Xiao Feng grabbing cents while others got pennies was due to a software problem or luck still needs investigation.

But this is just Lu Yao's thoughts.

To everyone else, it surely seems like a program issue.

After receiving their "taxi fare," Hui Yi and others cleared the tableware happily bidding farewell to the rest before heading together to the gathering.

Old Har and Aspergillus oryzae went home, resuming their unfinished chess from last night.

Lv Ziming didn't leave, but turned to Xiao Feng: "Boss, I'll practice the movements you taught me a few more times, can you watch and see if there's anything I'm doing wrong?"

Xiao Feng nodded with a smile, showing admiration.

Just based on diligence alone, Lv Ziming shows promise, though how far he can go can't be solved by diligence alone.
