Grand Theft Liu

A lucky cat named Lao Liu has waved on this counter since GTA V. It was never saying hello. It was waiting for 六.

found these on its paw. not mine.

It was never waving.

Lao Liu sits next to the register of a 24 hour store on a Florida highway. Since September 2013, the week GTA V came out, its paw has gone up and down at every customer.

People rub its head for luck. Truckers nod at it. Kids wave back. Nobody notices that its eyes never look at the door. They look at the till.

In Chinese gaming slang, 老六 lǎo liù is the player who hides in a corner and gets you when you walk past. The cat has been in that corner for thirteen years, waiting for one number.

8 days to 六

Every Chinese store has a tear-off almanac by the register. Each page tells you what the day is good for and what to avoid. Lao Liu's only counts to one date: GTA 6, November 19.

Pull a page down to tear it off.

Shake the cup.

Next to the register there is a cup of bamboo fortune sticks. Shake it until one falls out. Lao Liu reads it for you.

Tap or hold the cup to shake it

签 No stick yet

The stick that falls out is yours. Its number is printed on it. Lao Liu reads it here.

Go on, shake it.
