Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Every Shot Counts!

There was no helping it, street vendors just can’t stand people like Chen Wei who have no real talent yet love to show off.

The more they looked forward to seeing his expression after he fired ten bullets and realized he hadn’t burst a single balloon.

If Su Yumei felt disappointed in him and proposed breaking up, that would naturally be the best outcome.

Envy is something everyone has, and thinking about how he himself was just average-looking with no girlfriend to speak of, while Chen Wei was not only handsome but also had a stunning beauty as his girlfriend made his envy even stronger.

He badly wanted the couple to break up the next second, and for Chen Wei to have a car accident or something that disfigured him, just so he could gloat over his misfortune.

Seeing Chen Wei adopting a rather professional stance, the vendor couldn’t help but sneer inwardly—what’s with all the pretense? Just hurry up and finish shooting those ten bullets, keep getting it over your head, and keep giving me your money! Don’t waste time!

Bang.

As soon as the words fell, Chen Wei finally fired his first shot.

The sound wasn’t loud, but what followed was a second noise.

The vendor had been watching Chen Wei closely and was certain that he had only pulled the trigger once.

Moreover, with these toy guns, you could only load one bullet at a time; it was impossible to fire two shots in a row that quickly.

So, the second sound could only be... a balloon bursting!

Turning his head to look, sure enough, he saw a red balloon in the top right corner popped, its fragments still on the ground.

It must be a fluke! A blind cat running into a dead rat, that’s all.

Hitting one balloon only got you a consolation prize, a pack of tissues. To the vendor, it was no big deal. Even if he gave Chen Wei another pack, what of it?

Bang.

Bang!

Another shot, two sounds again.

The vendor’s expression began to falter, still reassuring himself, it was just a coincidence.

The third shot!

The fourth shot!

The fifth shot!

All five shots were hits!

With two hits, you get a car accessory; three, a small toy; four, a big toy; with five hits, a large living room ornament.

Added together, using just twenty-five bucks, Chen Wei made the vendor lose almost a thousand!

Could this guy be cheating?

The vendor watched Chen Wei’s every move with a hawk’s eye, finding nothing that suggested cheating.

With the sixth shot, the vendor lost a latest model game console, worth 2388 yuan.

The seventh shot! The vendor lost a sixty-inch TV, valued at 6888 yuan.

The eighth shot! The vendor lost an Apocalypse laptop, priced at 13888 yuan.

The ninth shot! The vendor lost a Kafeier luxury watch, worth 58888 yuan.

"..." The vendor’s face turned green, frozen in place, unable to speak.

Meanwhile, a crowd had gathered around.

Among them were quite a few regulars of the amusement park.

"Damn! This guy is a god, nine shots, all hits!"

"What? All nine shots hit? I’ve played at this rigged place twice. The guns are so weak, and the balloons so tough, you simply can’t pop them. Just wasted a few hundred bucks."

"This can’t be a commercial, right? It’s too fake, how could it be that amazing?"

Upon hearing someone say that he was in cahoots with Chen Wei for an advertisement, if it weren’t for the crowd and the need to maintain his image, the vendor really wanted to curse out loud, "Advertisement my ass! I’m truly losing real money here!"

In his heart, he was begging and pleading to all his ancestors, praying that Chen Wei’s tenth shot would not hit, otherwise, the money he would lose today would amount to nearly two hundred thousand!

The vendor had been running his stand at the amusement park for several years and hadn’t even made that much money, could he not be anxious?

Bang.

Bang!

Reality is often harsher than one’s imagination. Chen Wei taught the vendor a lesson with his skill, making it clear that in the face of absolute power, any little trick or scheme was futile.

Chen Wei asked the staff to keep all the prizes with them for now, and said he would drive them away after he and Su Yumei had their fill of fun in the amusement park.

Following orders from Xu Maolin, the staff member followed Chen Wei and Su Yumei. Wherever they needed assistance, the staff would immediately step forward, naturally not daring to refuse and treating the matter attentively.

Under the vendor’s eager gaze, they moved the expensive prizes away one by one.

"That jade bracelet, hand it over," Chen Wei said, extending his hand.

"..." The vendor’s heart was filled with bitterness, but he could only do as Chen Wei said. Under the watchful eyes of the public, he couldn’t possibly renege on his promises, could he?

If he really did that, he would probably be collectively attacked and severely rebuked.

Chen Wei took the jewelry box from the vendor’s hands and opened it.

Su Yumei was already prepared to wear the jade bracelet, but saw Chen Wei staring at the bracelet without reacting. Puzzled, she asked, "Is there anything wrong with this bracelet?"

She felt that, with Chen Wei’s level of expertise in jade, this mere hundred-thousand dollar bracelet shouldn’t have distracted him.

"This bracelet is fake," Chen Wei astonishingly said.

"Don’t spout nonsense, kid. I bought this at a big shopping mall; how could it possibly be fake jade!" In truth, the vendor had lied; he had bought the jade from a friend for over sixty thousand.

"What’s fake can’t become real, and what’s real can’t become fake – this is indeed fake jade," Chen Wei asserted.

"Hmph!" the vendor said defiantly, "You say it’s fake jade and it’s fake jade? Who do you think you are? You need to provide evidence, or watch out, I might sue you for defamation!"

"There are many ways to appraise jade, for example, by the sound. The sound of true jade when struck is clear and pleasing, while fake jade usually makes a duller sound when knocked," Chen Wei explained, and in front of everyone, he took the bracelet and tapped it.

The sound was indeed quite dull.

"But still..."

The vendor was about to speak, but Chen Wei cut him off, "Second, you look at the color. Artificially treated jade often has one characteristic: the color is unnaturally vivid. The color of true jade is always natural, while fake jade’s color is usually excessively bright, especially under light, it’s particularly noticeable."

"All you’ve said is just your speculation. I can say those things too. You need to show substantive evidence!" The vendor insisted, demanding Chen Wei produce concrete proof.

Chen Wei didn’t respond but instead raised his arm high.

"What are you trying to do!" The vendor realized something was wrong and wanted to stop him, but it was already too late. The bracelet was shattered into several pieces as Chen Wei threw it onto the ground.

Chen Wei picked up a piece, touched the broken area, and sneered, "Jade has a fine texture, but your so-called bracelet is so coarse—it’s comparable to marble, or should I say, colored marble, worthless!"

"Right, who has ever seen such a coarse jade."

"Using fake jade as a prize, you’ve really got no shame!"

"Shameless! Scammer! Who would dare play here again after this?"

...

Facing the chorus of accusations, the vendor’s expression was bitter, and his heart was a mix of emotions. What had he done to deserve this?

It never crossed his mind that his old friend had scammed him, costing him sixty thousand for a fake jade bracelet, only to be exposed by someone who knew jade.

Exposed on the spot, there was no chance for him to argue.

What could he do? What else could he do! He could only accept defeat and transfer a hundred thousand to Chen Wei.
