143: Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers
Yu Zhenzhong gave Yue Yifei a look before saying, "It's nothing much. I was just thinking you usually have pretty good luck, so I wanted to see if there was a chance to just go for it this time."
When Yue Yifei heard what it was about, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"My luck is pretty average, actually. Let's not talk about it anymore, or we'll hold up other people's time."
Yu Zhenzhong saw the anxious expressions of the others in the line, gave an awkward smile, and then stepped aside, saying no more.
Yue Yifei walked to the red line and took a few deep breaths.
He looked at the mud balls neatly arranged haphazardly in front of him, and his eyes grew serious.
If Yu Zhenzhong's superb ring-tossing skills couldn't conquer these mud balls, he didn't believe his own amateur efforts would make any difference.
Since that was the case... he no longer hesitated, and threw all forty of the rings in his hand out in one go.
Let luck decide if he was fated to eat this beggar's chicken today!
Seeing the rings scattered all over the sky, Yu Zhenzhong was startled and couldn't help but blurt out, "No way, is he really relying on luck?!"
The rings flying wildly in the sky created too much commotion.
It immediately attracted the attention of the people lining up for ring toss in the other three directions.
In the crowd, an old man stared at the scene with wide eyes, unable to stop himself from repeatedly saying, "Holy cow, holy cow, holy cow! This young man, holy cow, he's playing so big! Holy cow, what kind of family background does he have to throw rings like that, holy cow!"
Listening to the old man's exclamations and sentiments, the people around him also deeply empathized.
Who plays ring toss by throwing them like this? Even if one ring only costs one yuan, you can't be so wasteful! What's the difference between this and throwing money away?
Besides, the little boss's rings are incredibly bouncy; even if you throw them carefully, you might not be able to get one!
The kind of person who can do this is probably some landlord's foolish son, right?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the forty rings scattered like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, then fell one after another like rain on banana leaves.
Some landed on the ground, some hit the mud balls, and dull thudding sounds continuously echoed in the field.
Yu Zhenzhong nervously scanned back and forth, trying to discern the trajectory of each ring.
But as more and more rings weakly fell to the ground, his face grew increasingly ashen.
Until the last two remaining rings in the field, moving in a north-south direction, wobbled and "rolled" out of the area where the mud balls were located.
He finally sighed, "It seems trying to rely on luck to get the little boss's beggar's chicken isn't going to work."
Yue Yifei, however, was quite calm and not particularly disappointed at this moment.
His personality was inherently laid-back, advocating for everything to happen as fate dictates; what was his would be his, and there was no use forcing what wasn't.
"Let's go."
He said to Yu Zhenzhong, then turned to leave.
Just then, Lu Yu suddenly shouted excitedly, "He got one! He got one!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Yue Yifei and Yu Zhenzhong quickly turned around, looking at the field in confusion.
They found that the two rings that had previously "run away from home" had, for some unknown reason, returned to the field and were now each on a mud ball.
...
Before Yu Zhenzhong could ask, Lu Yu, full of the desire to share, began to describe, "These two rings had originally moved away from the mud balls, but one hit a broken stone halfway, and the other encountered other rings blocking its path, so they both slid back..."
That works too?!
After listening, Yu Zhenzhong looked at Yue Yifei with a face full of surprise, appearing as if he wanted to say something but held back.
He knew Yue Yifei had been lucky since he was a child, but sometimes was his luck a bit too heaven-defying?
Yue Yifei was also somewhat taken by surprise by this turn of events, but he quickly accepted it.
After shrugging at Yu Zhenzhong, he prepared to go forward and retrieve the two mud balls he had gotten.
However, Lu Chuan and He Jingrui had already entered the field, each carrying a mud ball and walking towards him.
"That 'celestial maiden scattering flowers' technique was truly impressive! Here, these are your spoils of war!" Lu Chuan said with a chuckle.
"Thank you."
Before Yue Yifei could reply, Yu Zhenzhong had already taken a step ahead and received the two mud balls.
However, as soon as the mud balls were in his hands, they pulled his palm downwards.
They were quite heavy!
Yu Zhenzhong was a little surprised, but then he became happy.
There was a formula to prove it:
The heavier it is, the bigger the chicken.
The bigger the chicken, the more meat there is.
The more meat there is, the happier one is eating it.
Therefore, the heavier it is, the happier one is.
Thinking of the delicious beggar's chicken made by the little boss that he would soon enjoy, Yu Zhenzhong couldn't help but drool.
Yue Yifei felt a little embarrassed, and after thanking Lu Chuan, he pulled Yu Zhenzhong away.
At this moment, the customer behind them in line also started tossing rings.
He held over fifty rings in both hands, muttered something to Yue Yifei's retreating back, then suddenly threw all the rings out in one go, shouting at the same time, "Hit, hit, hit! Hit for me, ahhhhhhh!!!!!!"
At this moment, almost everyone's gaze once again focused on the rings flying wildly in the sky, and a single thought simultaneously appeared in their minds.
Would a similar miracle happen again?
The rings fell very quickly, bouncing up after hitting the ground and then landing in other positions one by one, only to bounce off again.
In the blink of an eye, the field was filled with a continuous flurry of flying rings, dazzling everyone.
Lu Chuan watched this scene with interest.
He was actually quite curious: was this method of purely relying on dumb luck actually feasible?
Clever people like Hua Hanyao, who could quickly come up with a solution, were, after all, a minority.
Most people could only rely on so-called skill, attempting to challenge the hell-difficulty ring toss game.
The most typical example was Yu Zhenzhong; his self-created 'Eighteen Forms of Ring Toss' looked very flashy, but after repeated dashed hopes, it ended in a broken dao heart... As Lu Chuan pondered, the dust had already settled in the field.
Under everyone's nervous yet expectant gaze, a spinning ring, after wandering across most of the field, finally stopped contentedly, then tipped over towards a nearby mud ball.
...
Everyone fell silent for a moment, then their eyes became incredibly fervent.
And the customer who had emulated Yue Yifei was now swaying happily.
It wasn't until Lu Chuan handed him the mud ball that he reacted, then excitedly took it with a beaming face.
After seeing off this customer, the next customer immediately walked to the red line.
Then, without thinking, he threw all the rings out in one go.
With two consecutive wins, who would dare say that relying on luck was not feasible?
And even if it didn't work, to settle it all at once, if it succeeded, great; if not, he wouldn't be too disappointed.
At least it was better than throwing rings one by one, only to have hope shattered repeatedly, which was both mentally and physically exhausting, right?
This customer, who chose the "celestial maiden scattering flowers" technique, watched intently as the rings flew across the sky.
