"What does this mean?" Lu Nan pointed to Kohei wriggling to one side and Iori clinging to Kohei's leg and being dragged around frantically.

"Well...who knows?"

"Before we even realized it, he had already flipped over and jumped into the small window."

Kohei finally managed to pull himself out of the small window by kicking against the wall, and plopped down on Iori's head.

"Oh? It doesn't hurt?"

"You scum, get up right now! Of course it doesn't hurt because you're pressing on me!" Iori's face was pressed against the ground as she gritted her teeth.

Kohei stood up and tidied his hair: "I didn't expect you to be so loyal, worried I'd fall?"

Lu Nan stepped forward and put his arm around one of them: "Alright, alright, if you keep making noise, you'll get caught. Now that you're out, why don't you hurry up and leave?"

Upon hearing this, Iori immediately became excited: "You're right, a wonderful life, here I come!"

"For the female middle school student who reveres me like an older brother!"

"I told you there's no such thing!"

Chapter 71 The Arcade

"What did you say?" Iori's face was ashen, like someone blowing up a balloon only to find it had burst open instead of a balloon, and a used one at that: "What do you mean by 'cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances'?"

Senior Ashi glanced at his phone: "That's definitely right."

Iori swayed, nearly falling to the ground, feeling as if the world was spinning: "Then what exactly are we doing all this for?"

Lu Nan patted Iori on the shoulder: "Relax. Even though you can't go to the social event, you're still tired, aren't you?"

Iori was speechless for a moment, feeling only a headache coming on.

"So where are we going now?" Kohei seemed indifferent. He had already lost interest in the social event once he realized that the promises made earlier were just a lie.

"Since we're already out here, it doesn't seem like a good idea to just go back." Senior A-Shou stroked his chin and clapped his hands: "Alright! Let's go out for a drink then!"

Iori collapsed to her knees, utterly exhausted: "So, in the end, you still came out for drinks?"

"Drinking all the time is no fun, bros. Do you guys have any other entertainment?" Lu Nan was speechless. What kind of business is it to drink every day?

"Meow wants to play something else, meow." Silly Meow raises its hand: "I drank too much juice and want some soup, meow."

Senior Ashi scratched his head: "Even if you say that, it seems like things are still..."

He suddenly looked at the flashing neon lights on one side: "Hey, do you guys play video games?"

......

Lu Nan tossed the game tokens in his hand. It seemed that Iori had a change of heart today and actually bought all of his, Daimyo's, and Kohei's tokens.

The two seniors went straight to the arcade after exchanging their coins, and they're now playing a really intense game.

"Boss! Meow wants to play racing games!" Dumb Meow was carrying a small bag, a gift from the store, to hold the little guy's game tokens.

"Okay, I'll carry you up." Lu Nan carried Dai Miao to his seat and even helped him put in two coins.

Dai Miao excitedly turned the steering wheel, staring intently at the countdown on the screen.

As the green light turned on, all the surrounding race cars sped off, but Daimiao's car remained frozen in place.

The cat tilted its head in confusion and tried to adjust the steering wheel, but the race car still didn't move.

Suddenly, as if suddenly enlightened, the silly cat looked down and saw the throttle pedal splayed up.

Dai Miao fell silent. He wiggled his little feet, then jumped off the racing game seat and ran over to Lu Nan, who was playing the claw machine, and tugged at his clothes: "Boss, racing isn't fun at all, meow."

Lu Nan looked at the grappling hook, which was as weak and powerless as a husband in a Minotaur movie, with a pained expression. This BYD grappling hook was like it had ED, and its grip strength was roughly equivalent to that of an earthworm.

"What's wrong, Daimiao? Did you get into a car accident?" Lu Nan turned around and looked at Daimiao.

After a moment of silence, the silly cat said in a muffled voice, "No, I can't press the accelerator, meow."

"Pfft! Cough cough, then the boss will take you to play something else, okay? Don't be sad, don't be sad."

Lu Nan almost lost his composure, grabbing Dai Miao's little hand and preparing to take him to some game consoles that didn't require a certain height.

(The above plot is adapted from real events. When I was a child, I did the exact same thing. I thought the game console was broken, so I went to the owner, who gave me two coins back with a grim expression.)

Because it was quite late, there weren't many people in the arcade, and many of the arcade machines were empty. Little Meow's sadness came and went quickly, and soon she became interested in a fishing game.

It's probably because cats are naturally interested in fish.

A playful smile curled at the corner of Iori's lips. Hmph! He's a renowned pro player in this game!

You stupid, silly cat, you had newbie protection when you were fishing before, but there's no such thing in this electronic fishing game!

And I, Iori! Today, I will completely wash away this shame!

Let's fight, you silly cat!

Five minutes later...

Silly Cat jumped off the little stool: "What a weak game, meow. The fish I caught doesn't look appetizing at all, meow."

Iori silently stared at the golden mermaid in the silly cat's fish basket and the clownfish in her own, feeling that the Dao heart she had always maintained was probably shattered.

Damn it, I'm retiring!

Just as Daimyo was about to go find her boss, Kohei suddenly came over with a fawning smile: "Daidyo, can I talk to you about something?"

The silly cat tilted its head in confusion.

Kohei rubbed his hands together: "Look at this game coin..."

His gaze was fixed on Dai Miao's little crossbody bag.

The silly cat immediately became alert, turning to the side and protecting its small crossbody bag behind its back: "No! These are my cats!"

Kohei nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I know, I mean lend me some, lend me some!"

He pointed tearfully at a claw machine nearby: "If I don't get this 'Melting! Magical Girl Lala' collaboration plushie tonight, I'll have no face to go home and face my family and friends!"

He held the little hand of the silly cat, tears streaming down his face: "Silly cat, this is my lifelong wish. I have completely burned out my life, and I really can't make it!"

The little cat's face was full of hesitation, but in the end, it carefully opened its small crossbody bag: "Then, then don't take too much, meow..."

Gengping nodded happily, and was about to grab a handful of ruthless things when a gaze pierced his heart like a sharp sword.

Kohei froze, then turned around and saw Lu Nan staring intently at him. Beside him was a punching machine, its bright red full bar particularly eye-catching.

Kohei chuckled twice and carefully grabbed a few coins. After doing his good deed, the silly cat happily hopped off to find its boss, leaving Kohei standing there looking dejected.

His gaze suddenly swept towards Iori, who was watching the show from the side, his eyes flashing with a green light like a hungry wolf.

Iori broke out in a cold sweat: "Hey, what are you doing?"

Kohei lunged forward and grabbed Iori's leg: "I-ori! Oh no! My mother always told me that poor children learn to be independent early..."

Iori grinned awkwardly, "Fine, fine! Here you go! Stop howling like a jaguar!"

Kohei picked up the coins with satisfaction and turned to leave, leaving Iori stunned.

That's about enough. I've already spent a lot of money on that machine, and I've basically used up all the money I brought with me today. But as long as I can get the Lala doll, none of this matters!

As Kohei thought about owning a Lala-themed collaboration doll, his steps became lighter, but when he got to the claw machine, he found that someone was already there.

The pink-haired girl bent down and took out the doll she had been longing for from the retrieval outlet, her face beaming with joy.

"Lucky~ It was caught in one go, what great luck!"

Chapter 72 Fujiwara Chika Wants to Play (Bonus Chapter Sponsored by Stardust Walker)

Lu Nan is fighting zombies with Dai Miao. Dai Miao doesn't seem to have much talent for this, but she's having a lot of fun.

However, the sudden howl caught Lu Nan and Dai Miao's attention, especially since the howl sounded quite familiar.

Lu Nan rushed over with Dai Miao and immediately saw Chang Wei hitting... Geng Ping was crying on the ground, and the figure standing next to him looked very familiar.

"Fujiwara-kun?" Lu Nan was puzzled. What was going on? Why did Kohei look like he'd been bullied?

When her name was called, Fujiwara Chika turned around in a panic. When she saw Lu Nan, she looked at him as if he were her savior, and her panic was visibly palpable.

"Lu Nan! Uh, I... I don't know what happened, I just turned around and saw him!" Fujiwara Chika hurriedly explained, gesturing wildly, "Then when he saw me, he yelled 'Ah!' and immediately knelt down on the ground and started crying 'Waaah!' I... I don't know what happened!"

She was so anxious that her face turned bright red, and even her impressive figure began to pulsate with her rapid breathing.

secretary

Lu Nan waved his hand.

Fujiwara Chika panicked immediately. She had finally run into an acquaintance in this place, and she didn't know how to handle this strange situation.

"It's true! It really is! Lu Nan, you have to believe me!"

Lu Nan waved his hand again: "Waving my hand doesn't mean I don't believe you, it just means you don't need to say anything more."

Doesn't he know what kind of person Gengping is?

Daimyo poked Kōhei's sticking-out butt with a small stick, then said seriously, "Boss! Daimyo has already tested it! It's not an act, meow!"

Iori and the two seniors also arrived, looking at what was happening in front of them with puzzled expressions.

"What's wrong with him? He seemed pretty happy just now." Iori looked at Kohei, who was lying on the ground filled with remorse. "Why is he crying like he's heartbroken?"

Looking at the familiar-looking doll that Fujiwara Chika was holding in her arms with a panicked expression, and the coins scattered in front of Kōhei, as well as the way he had eagerly asked Daimiao for game coins, Lu Nan immediately understood most of the situation.

"Well, how should I put it? It's probably not a breakup. To be precise, it's more like their home was raided, right?" Lu Nan said with a bit of a laugh.

He remembered that Backkom was taken off the air, so how come there's still one here?

After Lu Nan's explanation, everyone understood most of it. It turned out that the guaranteed minimum payout had been intercepted by someone who had mistakenly joined the game, which was similar to the booming development of a server-wide guaranteed minimum payout.

You really can't blame anyone else; it's a matter of luck. They didn't know you'd used a pre-selection feature, and it just happened when they randomly drew it. What can you do about it?

However, Fujiwara Chika still felt quite apologetic, because she didn't actually like the character very much; she just happened to be passing by and decided to try her luck. As it turned out, a die-hard fan had been playing the pity system so much that she ended up getting the guaranteed pity.

Kohei had recovered by this time, and looked at Lala in Fujiwara Chika's hand with a mournful expression: "Lala, you must be happy! You must be well! Even without me, you must be well!"

Then she ran away crying. Iori clicked her tongue and followed her. Toki and Asou-senpai exchanged glances, gave Lu Nan a look, and then followed her out.

Just as Lu Nan was about to follow, someone suddenly tugged at his clothes. Fujiwara Chika felt incredibly embarrassed and handed the doll in her hand to Lu Nan: "If you can, please pass this on to that classmate for me."

She gave an awkward laugh: "I just randomly picked it... Now it seems like he's quite upset, but strictly speaking, it should have been his in the first place."
