At the entrance to the arcade.
Jun Zeye looked helpless as a cute little girl dragged him in.
"Brother Zeye. Pretty please." The little girl clasped his hand as she pouted and pleaded with him in a soft voice.
Jun Zeye looked at her and nodded.
"Yeah! I love you, Brother Zeye!" The little girl happily went up to hug his waist. Then she held his hand as they walked over to the counter. She pointed at the biggest Little Red Riding Hood plus.h.i.+e on the gift cabinet.
"I want this!" The little girl cried out in a silvery voice.
The male staff at the counter smiled, poked his head out, and said to her, "Little girl, this plus.h.i.+e goes for a thousand points."
The little girl flattened her mouth and asked him, "Mister, can we use money to buy it?"
"No, you must acc.u.mulate points in order to exchange for the plus.h.i.+e." The male staff smiled cordially and replied to her in the same cutesy voice.
The little girl grabbed Jun Zeye"s hand with both hands, her eyes limpid as she looked at him, pleading..
"Brother Zeye… I really want this…"
Jun Zeye looked at the male staff and asked in a deep voice, "How do we get the points?"
The male staff pointed to the machines in the arcade. "You get points depending on the score that you get for each game. In other words, the better you are at each game, the more points you can get."
"What"s the maximum number of points I can get in one shot?" he asked methodically.
The male staff said straightforwardly, "For example, the most points that someone has gotten for that shooting game was about… fifty points."
"Wow! Fifty at once? That"s a lot!" Hearing that, the little girl"s mouth opened wide in awe.
She tugged at Jun Zeye"s arm and said to him, "Whenever I come and play with my cla.s.smates, we only can get about eight to ten at a time."
Jun Zeye took a quick look at the shooting game and saw that it needed two tokens for every attempt. Thus, he said to the male staff, "Give me forty tokens."
"Forty?" The male staff was startled. He did some mental calculations and seemed as though he realized what he was up to.
Did he want to get the highest score on every attempt?
How could that be possible!
The male staff member smiled. "Actually, you can also play other games, for example, the pinball game where there is some luck involved. If you are lucky, you can get thirty to forty points."
Jun Zeye interrupted him, his resolute expression unchanged. "Please give me forty tokens."
With that said, he took out forty yuan from his wallet and handed it to him.
The male staff looked at the money and said, "Well… if you buy fifty tokens, you can get an additional ten for free."
"No need. Just forty tokens." Jun Zeye had no intention to change his plan.
Seeing that he couldn"t be persuaded, the male staff had no choice but to give him forty tokens.
Nearby, Mu Xiaoxiao had bought the drinks. As her hands were relatively small, it was hard for her to hold the three drinks in her hands so she clasped the three bottles together to carry them. But the three bottles seemed as though they were not doing as she wished. They turned about and one of the bottles fell out of her hand.
A hand reached out and grabbed it as fast as lightning.
Shocked, Mu Xiaoxiao looked up.
