A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 351 Small Steel Balls

Sha Danshan let go of the panda doll in his hand, picked up the steel ball and looked at it carefully in front of his eyes.

On the smooth and round surface of the sphere, you can clearly see strange patterns that look like water waves and flames. Even if it is just a work of art, it is quite exquisite and beautiful.

However, the reason why Sha Danshan was so obsessed with it that he was even willing to risk exposing Jie Zhai Xue Zi and ask her to help him find the steel ball was certainly not just for a work of art.

This steel ball is a special product made of twelve small steel balls that are melted and then solidified, which is why it has such gorgeous patterns.

"This is..." Seeing her elder sister's fascinated expression, Jie Zhai Xue Zi said softly, "That level 5..."

"Yes, this is the result of Accelerator's superpower." Sha Danshan couldn't hide his joy. "His 'Vector Operation' is extremely advanced, and he doesn't need any additional props. However, his ability makes it difficult to obtain his personal belongings. Even worse, Vector Operation directly manipulates the vectors of objects, leaving almost no additional traces..."

Therefore, even Shadanshan did not expect that he would have the opportunity to obtain Accelerator's superpower "token".

"That is to say, Onee-sama..."

"No, I probably can't control its power right now." Sha Danshan suddenly regained her composure. She bent down to pick up the panda doll, opened the zipper on its back, and hid the steel ball inside. "I still need more practice."

Then, Sha Danshan returned the sachet to Jie Zhai Xue Zi and patted her head: "Thank you, you really helped me this time. Jie Zhai Xue Zi, I look forward to the day when you come to Tokiwadai Middle School."

"Yes, I will try my best!"

……

"This is not something that can be solved by hard work. Just give up!" Misaka Mikoto looked helplessly at Shokuhou Misaki, who was also at level 5.

The latter seemed to be having a dispute with a coin-push game machine and was stuffing coins into the machine in a fit of anger.

But I don’t know if it was luck or simply because of the machine settings, but in any case, the coin tower that had been piled up at the outermost edge just refused to fall down.

"No, that's unscientific!" Shokuhou Misaki, who had already invested a lot of sunk costs, refused to give up. "This machine must be set up wrong. I know that arcades always set it up like this to make a profit."

"Now that you know, don't waste time anymore! You didn't spend any money anyway, so just forget about these coins!" Misaka Mikoto said helplessly.

Because they paid for the autographed photos, the waitress gave them a lot of chips, so they didn't need to exchange them for game coins.

Then, the five of them dispersed and started their own activities...

The main thing was Lin Wuming, who was immersed in the pachinko machine by the wall and didn't pay any attention to the other girls at all.

So, having lost the key role of hub, the remaining four girls simply went their own way and chose the projects they liked.

Gufa Meiwei is addicted to various racing games; Hufeng Toumi is obsessed with claw machine and lottery games; Misaka Mikoto doesn't have any particular preference and chooses to experience every game - including all the projects in the simulated casino area.

After turning around, Misaka Mikoto discovered that Shokuhou Misaki was still in front of the original machine, and was even competing with it.

She put in almost all of the two hundred or so coins she had.

Unable to bear watching it any longer, Misaka Mikoto stepped forward to stop her impulsive and foolish behavior.

But Shokuhou Misaki, who was already in a state of excitement, seemed unwilling to give up.

As a last resort, Misaka Mikoto looked around and quietly activated her superpower.

The tower of coins that Shokuhou Misaki had coveted for so long finally collapsed, all falling into the exit below.

"Hmm..." Shokuhou Misaki glanced back at Misaka Mikoto behind her, "Well, forget it."

——Since we are out here to have fun, there is no need to worry too much!

After counting, the coins she earned were actually about the same as what Shokuhou Misaki invested, which means she spent more than an hour and ended up breaking even.

"Tsk, what a waste of time," Shokuhou Misaki said. "No wonder the teachers say that playing in the arcade is a waste of time and life..."

"Isn't a game hall just this kind of place? We didn't waste any money today, which is already a good result." Lin Wuming also finished the game and came to them with a basket full of small steel balls.

"So many?" Several girls looked over in surprise, and then all showed the same expression - he must have cheated using telekinesis!
"Ahem, that's really not the case!" Lin Wuming coughed dryly and quickly explained, "Maybe it's because I have a connection with them?"

Lin Wuming did not use his superpowers to cheat. He didn't even look at the rules. He just picked a machine and started playing.

Perhaps because of the novice protection period, the final result was that Lin Wuming won a whole basket of more than 300 small steel balls in one go.

Similarly, Shokuhou Misaki was holding a basket of more than 300 game coins in her arms.

As for the other three, they were just playing, so the game coins in their hands had been almost used up.

Only the tiger bee was looking for honey, holding a huge plastic bag in her hand, which was filled with a lot of her spoils.

"It's almost time to go back." Seeing that everyone was having a great time, Lin Wuming suggested.

"Okay," the first person to respond was the waitress who had been keeping an eye on them. "Excuse me, would you like to store these small steel balls and game coins?"

The main reason why this game hall has not become a "casino" is that it does not provide reverse exchange services - players can use money to exchange game coins, chips or small steel balls, but the reverse is absolutely impossible, and there will be no indirect exchange in the form of prizes or vouchers.

The only use of all the game coins, chips and small steel balls is to use them up next time you come here to play.

In order to avoid cash exchange between players in the secondary market, the game hall even prohibits players from taking these game coins, chips and small steel balls out.

Instead, free hosting services are provided.

"No, I want to take them away." Lin Wuming of course refused the service.

After all, his original purpose was to play these little steel balls! If it weren't for them, how could he have sat in the pachinko room for over an hour? Lin Wuming didn't like this game.

So, how could he neglect the main point and apply for a storage service? Unless these small steel balls were used up, Lin Wuming had no intention of coming here again.

"But," the waitress said with an embarrassed expression, "there are rules in this store..."

"Don't worry, we won't make things difficult for you," Shokuhou Misaki handed the game coins in her hand to Misaka Mikoto, then took out the remote control. "We will pay you well, just think of it as selling it to us~"

Five minutes later, a group of five people walked out of the game hall with a lot of stuff.
