Chapter 364: Chapter 270: Run, Why Aren’t You Running Anymore? (5200 words) Chapter 364: Chapter 270: Run, Why Aren’t You Running Anymore? (5200 words) Xue Yuantong was ecstatic to death.
She really hadn’t misjudged Jiang Ning, the guilt that arose from losing the ga earlier, at that mont, completely disappeared.
Jiang Ning would never deceive her.
Bai Yuxia stood there, her attractive face registering surprise,
“Yes, all of them?”
With just one throw, all 10 cans fell, including the four extrely stable sand jars at the bottom, which were now also rolling on the ground.
It was utterly beyond common sense; based on her theoretical calculations, under normal circumstances, one could only knock down 8 cans, and with extre luck, perhaps 9.
Now the scene before her was of all 10 cans knocked down?
It was simply too illogical, no longer just a matter of good luck.
The vendor Shen Xu’s face was filled with amazent, “Really? For real?”
Previously, whenever soone threw at the sand jars, he would expect greatly, hoping to see the image of all 10 cans collapsing, but each ti it failed to co true.
Now this magical result had actually appeared before him.
It wasn’t just the impact of the 10 cans, but also the 500 yuan prize.
500 yuan, enough for several als at a hotpot, or a month’s worth of braised chicken if one so preferred.
His gaze towards Jiang Ning changed.
A certain expectation surfaced in Shen Xu’s heart; since Jiang Ning could achieve it, could he possibly do it too?
If he could, that would be 500 yuan.
The reaction of the people present, each was inconceivable.
Lin Zida stepped forward two paces, changed to a better position, in order to closely inspect the sand jars on the ground.
He turned and called out, “Jianhui, all 10 have fallen.”
Zhuang Jianhui, over 1.8 ters tall with a wide field of view, had already seen it clearly.
He could not hide his embarrassnt, nothing was worse than comparing oneself with others.
Just now, he had given it his all, only daring to aim for the top can, yet in the end, he still failed and even lost money.
“That’s not right, is it?” Zhuang Jianhui frowned, he couldn’t figure out how Jiang Ning had done it.
Ding Shuyan didn’t speak; she silently recalled the scene just now.
The basketball spun at high speed, changing direction the mont it touched the sand jar, grinding sideways over the four cans at the bottom, knocking them all over.
The principle sounded simple, but achieving it seed as tough as scaling the heavens.
The delicate control over strength was terrifying.
Ding Shuyan beca even more convinced of Jiang Ning’s exceptionality.
Li Shi glanced at the sand jars, then looked at Jiang Ning sideways, and blurted out,
“Did you just guess?”
Jiang Ning frankly admitted, “Yes, I got lucky.”
Upon hearing this, Li Shi was at a loss for words; if Jiang Ning had claid it was skill, she might have retorted, but he had plainly attributed it to luck.
Xue Yuantong chid in from the sidelines, “I told you, Jiang Ning would win it back for .”
Her little face was flushed with excitent, her braids bobbing with her exuberance.
Li Shi’s astonishnt turned to irritation, and she thought angrily,
‘Is having help so great!?’
Compared to the buzzing of the crowd, the owner of the sand jar stand was almost dumbfounded.
He had been conning people at his stall for years and had never encountered soone who could knock down all 10 sand jars.
The owner was bitter; facing so many people, he couldn’t deny it, otherwise he would surely be caught by the clients who had lost money, and might even get beaten up.
“10 sand jars, a reward of 500 yuan,” the owner called out.
His words resounded like a hamr striking everyone’s ears.
“500 yuan!” This was different from winning a lottery, which depended entirely on luck, and only had a one-ti scratching process, whereas throwing at sand jars involved skill and took place under everyone’s gaze, inevitably provoking discussion.
The owner, despite the frustration of losing money, 500 yuan, he would need to set up the cans 50 tis to earn it back.
Forget it, 50 tis was 50 tis, as long as he could make it back, that was fine.
The owner called out, “Young man, you have another chance, I’ll settle the account with you after your throw, maybe your next ball will win too.”
Let him play one more ball; once this ball missed, could he really resist the urge not to continue throwing?
Then he would fall into the trap, and all the money won would be lost back.
“Sure,” Jiang Ning accepted the basketball.
Li Shi, also a contestant, hadn’t thrown yet; she wanted to see whether Jiang Ning could win again.
Not just her, most of the people present harbored this thought.
Shen Xu, in particular, watched earnestly, trying to glean the essentials from Jiang Ning’s throwing process.
This ti, nearly everyone’s attention was on him.
Xue Yuantong cheered him on, “Jiang Ning, let’s go eat after you throw!”
She said to Chen Siyu and Bai Yuxia, “Jiang Ning has made money, I’ll treat you.”
Chen Siyu quickly agreed, “Mm, that’s great.”
It wasn’t that she was coveting a free al, but rather she believed that if Jiang Ning stopped throwing after this ball, he would actually make a profit.
At most, she and her sister could offer to pay for the al, considering Jiang Ning had helped them a lot in the past.
‘Eat after the throw?’
The owner twitched at the sound, if you run off after throwing, what will I earn?
Li Shi couldn’t help saying,
“After winning money, why not play a few more rounds?”
Chen Siyu wanted Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong to leave; now hearing Li Shi’s words, she felt very uncomfortable, wasn’t this harming soone?
On the outside tall and beautiful, who would have thought she was so wicked, you can’t judge a book by its cover!
Chen Siyu retorted, “Why keep playing, isn’t it good to stop early?”
Xue Yuantong folded her arms across her chest, boasting arrogantly,
“I’m scared the owner will go bankrupt.”
Li Shi laughed dryly, “So it seems you really trust Jiang Ning’s skills.”
Not far away, Lin Zida said to Ding Shuyan,
“Li Shi seems really upset.”
Ding Shuyan replied, “That’s normal, she lost money and got provoked.”
In terms of ntality, Ding Shuyan was much more mature than Li Shi, and she was very aware that calm people like her cousin Lin Zida were a minority.
Most peers were prone to impulsiveness, including her friends in An City.
