"Hmm, I'd like to give it a try."

Xu Zhiyi nodded, took out her phone, and scanned the QR code on the stall.

What are you doing?

Tang Qingxi hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and said irritably, "So all I told you was for nothing? There's definitely something wrong with his balloon; it can't be popped!"

"Who are you saying has a problem?" The stall owner was displeased, glaring with his triangular eyes and saying, "If you think there's a problem, come on, scan my 10,000 yuan now, and you can inspect any of the balloons here!"

If the test reveals a problem, I'll give you ten thousand!

Do you dare?

"What wouldn't I dare to do!" Tang Qingxi said proudly and confidently.

"Here you go, scan the QR code!" The stall owner confidently showed off his QR code.

"...I have no money."

Tang Qingxi softened.

Where would she, a sophomore in college, get 10,000 yuan to gamble with him?

The stall owner, as if expecting this outcome, sneered twice. "If you don't have money, get out of here! Don't delay my business! If you keep causing trouble, don't blame me for being impolite!"

A commotion broke out again from the crowd of onlookers.

"If the boss isn't going to hold it against you, then you should just leave."

"And he's a college student? He doesn't know anything."

"I……"

Tang Qingxi was furious. Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked around, determined to find the person who had been making snide remarks behind her back.

At this moment, Xu Zhiyi had already scanned ten yuan.

Upon hearing that the ten yuan had been credited to his account, the stall owner casually handed over a box containing darts. "You can choose any darts you like, but ten yuan only gets you one chance to play. Whatever you hit is what you get."

"OK."

Xu Zhiyi rummaged through the box, picked up a dart and examined it carefully.

He discovered that the darthead wasn't made of metal, but of plastic, and the tip wasn't a sharp needle point, but rather slightly rounded. He tried pressing the tip with his finger and found that its hardness was also quite average.

However, even with this kind of dart, there's no reason why it wouldn't pop a balloon.

Therefore, the problem must lie with the balloon.

With that thought in mind, he looked again at the foam wall covered with balloons.

With his keen eye, he could clearly see that most of the balloons were normal, but a small number of them had the problem of being "insufficiently inflated".

Anyone who's ever played with balloons knows this.

The more air inside a balloon, the easier it is to burst.

Conversely, if the balloon is not inflated, its outer skin will be loose, and a dart with a plastic dart head will bounce off when it hits it, making it difficult to puncture.

Moreover, the issues here are not that simple.

Xu Zhiyi also noticed that some balloons looked very thick, as if they had more than one layer.

To verify his guess, he pinched the dart, aimed at a relatively thick green balloon, gradually slowed his breathing, and then flicked his wrist.

He played with darts when he was a kid, and although he wasn't as skilled as with a slingshot, his accuracy wasn't bad either. Moreover, his [Spirit] attribute is now a whopping 9 points, the highest among his four attributes.

His current shooting percentage is ridiculously high.

Now, let alone the darts he's already familiar with, even if he's just throwing a stone or shooting a basketball, his accuracy is absolutely terrifyingly high!

Because these things are essentially the same.

Just like a master who has practiced with a spear for ten years, even if given a stick without a spearhead, he can still wield it skillfully and will not be much worse.

"call out!"

The dart blurred into a blur, instantly traversing a distance of more than two meters, and accurately struck the green balloon.

Although the dart hit the balloon, it failed to pop it. Instead, it bounced off to the side and eventually fell to the ground.

"See!" Tang Qingxi exclaimed, "I told you his balloon was impossible to pop!"

The stall owner, however, remained unfazed, replying with a forced smile, "That's because you're not strong enough, or your angle is wrong. Lots of people win here every day, how come they all succeed, but you don't?"

"That's just sophistry. Who knows if what you're saying is true?"

Tang Qingxi wanted to argue her point, but the stall owner didn't want to waste any more words with her. He simply waved his hand and said, "Are you still going to play? If not, hurry up and leave. Don't delay my business."

"Play? Of course we'll play!"

As Xu Zhiyi spoke, she took out her phone and scanned ten yuan.

"What are you doing?" Tang Qingxi looked at him in confusion. "This stall is a scam, and you're still giving them money? Get out of here, I'll take you home!"

"Don't rush." ​​Xu Zhiyi gave her a look to reassure her, then picked up a dart, aimed it briefly, and threw it.

He didn't use any special techniques.

Pure and powerful!

The main feature is a powerful brick flying!

Most people don't know the proper technique for throwing darts, so their darts are generally weak and ineffective, and they tend to go off course after three meters.

But Xu Zhiyi is different.

Not only is his accuracy ridiculously high, but his strength is also far beyond that of ordinary people.

With a sudden burst of force, the dart flew so fast that it was completely invisible.

"Whoosh—smack!"

The balloon popped!

This time, Xu Zhiyi shot a red balloon.

A shower of firework debris fell from the bursting balloon, along with a small card bearing a series of numbers.

The stall owner picked up the small card from the ground, glanced at it, and then held it up to show the crowd.

"The prize for number 26 is... an authentic Disney plush toy worth 79 yuan."

As the stall owner spoke, he picked out number 26 from the many prizes on the table. It was a Judy Hopps plush toy from Zootopia.

It looks quite well-made, and the packaging is also quite presentable.

Although Xu Zhiyi had hit a pretty good prize, the stall owner seemed very happy and sneered at Tang Qingxi and the others: "How about it, do you still say there's something wrong with my balloon now?"

"You all know this handsome guy, how come he got such good stuff? I'm telling you college students, when something happens, you should really look for the reasons within yourselves first!"

"..."

Tang Qingxi and her companions were furious, but they didn't know how to refute her.

After all, the darts and balloons hadn't been changed, and Xu Zhiyi had indeed only thrown the darts twice before winning a genuine Disney plush toy worth 79 yuan.

Is it really just bad luck for them?

Xu Zhiyi took the plush toy, but her gaze lingered on the other prizes. "Since each balloon corresponds to a prize on your stall, if I pop all the balloons on this wall, then all the prizes here, including the game console and the robot vacuum cleaner... will be mine, right?"

Upon hearing this, the stall owner's eyes lit up, like a hungry wolf spotting a lost lamb, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He immediately realized that a fat sheep was about to be delivered to his door!

"This handsome young man has quite the nerve!" The stall owner's laughter was hearty. "I've always been honest and fair in my business dealings. If you can pop all the balloons on this wall, all these prizes are yours!"

That being said, he didn't believe anyone could actually do it.

Just as Tang Qingxi and the others had guessed, some of the balloons on the foam board looked ordinary, but they were actually specially made thickened latex balloons, 2-3 times thicker than the ordinary ones, and ordinary darts couldn't pierce them at all.

Some balloons containing the key prizes also have a small piece of transparent tape attached to the inside, making it impossible for those blunt, round plastic darts to penetrate.

"OK."

Xu Zhiyi nodded, took out her phone, and scanned the payment code on the table: "I just counted, you have 125 balloons left on this board, so I'll take 125 more darts... Can you give me a discount?"

The moment those words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.

Tang Qingxi's eyes widened, and she forcefully dragged him aside, saying with some heartache, "Xu Zhiyi! Are you crazy? Ten yuan for each dart throw, that's 1,250 yuan!"

I don't care where you got so much money.

Even if you just luckily hit one plush toy, you can't possibly hit them all, right? This shopkeeper is a liar. Take my advice, go home now!

"How can you talk like that? Calling me a liar all the time, are you getting addicted to it?" The stall owner frowned, looking at Tang Qingxi with displeasure. "If it weren't for the fact that you're a young girl, I would have slapped you across the face!"

"Come on, try touching me!" Tang Qingxi said without backing down.

The stall owner snorted coldly, ignored her, and turned to Xu Zhiyi, saying, "Young man, you're a straightforward person. I won't charge you much... 1200 it is."

"OK."

Xu Zhiyi nodded and prepared to pay.

But Tang Qingxi grabbed his phone and frowned, saying, "Xu Zhiyi, listen to me..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Zhiyi gave her a wink.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Tang Qingxi was stunned for a moment.

She saw a strong sense of confidence in this big boy's eyes.

It's not the kind of blind confidence that comes from being ignorant of one's own limitations, but a kind of confident composure, like the confidence unique to those successful and mature men on TV, who have everything under control.

While she was still in a daze, Xu Zhiyi had already paid.

When the announcement "Received 1200 yuan" was heard, the surrounding crowd erupted in uproar.

"Holy crap! This young man!"

"Kids these days really don't know how hard it is to earn money... They squander the little allowance their families give them."

"Sigh, this kid still looks like a student, he's too naive."

"..."

The stall owner was also slightly taken aback.

He didn't expect this young man to be serious.

Happiness came so suddenly!

Finally, a fat sheep has taken the bait!

The stall owner's eyes flickered, then a greedy and hypocritical smile spread across his face: "Young man, you've got guts! But let's get this straight! You've paid, here's your dart. If you miss, you can't renege on your debt, and you certainly can't cause trouble like those girls!"

"certainly."

Xu Zhiyi nodded, looking indifferent.

Tang Qingxi was extremely nervous.

She knew Xu Zhiyi's situation very well and was well aware that more than a thousand yuan was by no means a small amount for him.

I really don't know what he's trying to do.

Where does he get the confidence to buy all the prizes with just one dart and one balloon?!

Her companions looked at each other in bewilderment.

The boy cosplaying as a ninja shook his head quietly, "I think he just has too much money to burn. Isn't he just giving it away?"

"Shut up!" Tang Qingxi rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "Why didn't you speak when it was your turn? Now you're just making sarcastic remarks!"

The "ninja" was embarrassed by her retort, but couldn't think of anything to say in response, so he could only obediently shut up and continue being his "ninja".

"Young man." The stall owner, afraid that Xu Zhiyi might change his mind, quickly placed several boxes of darts in front of him after receiving the money. "Here are fifty darts for you. I'll pick them up for you later."

Anyway, everyone's watching, it's absolutely fair and just, no deception of anyone, young or old!

After saying that, he leisurely crossed his arms, ready to see how this hothead would lose everything and finally slink away.
