Chapter 264: Chapter 242 I slap my own face

Ultimately, Li Chen’s score settled at 9450, the result of a staff member coming over to stop him. After all, if the game continued, the record would be too high, discouraging other players. Keeping the score not too high was also a strategy.

At the same time, as compensation for Li Chen not playing this game, the staff promised he could play for free all day.

Li Chen hadn’t anticipated this outcome, but he didn’t plan to play anymore either, as the repetitive actions were somewhat tiring.

After shaking his hands, Li Chen walked up to Lin Xiaoxiao and smiled slightly.

"Maybe you were just naturally good at shooting basketballs, Brother-in-law. It’s no big deal. Let’s go play something else," Lin Xiaoxiao said, pulling Manman along as they began to look for another arcade game.

The arcade was quite crowded, but there were many machines available, and this time, the two chose a dance machine.

The dance machine had several different directional keys, and falling patterns would appear on the screen in front. You just needed to step on the corresponding keys as the patterns crossed a certain line. The concept was simple, but it was also quite challenging. If a difficult song was selected, the patterns would fall rapidly and in large numbers, making it hard to react in time.

The dance machine allowed for two players to compete, and Lin Xiaoxiao and Manman were a pair.

They stepped onto the dance machine and started dancing.

Watching them, Li Chen couldn’t help but note that Lin Xiaoxiao and Manman both had slim figures and a natural interest in dancing, so compared to the previous basketball game, they had significantly improved.

As the patterns fell, they started stepping on the platform, mimicking the virtual characters on the screen with various movements.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Manman were quite talented in dancing; they could simulate the character’s moves to a good extent.

The two danced on the machine, moving continuously with the rhythm. Their graceful figures attracted many onlookers.

Two girls dancing, and beautiful ones at that, were definitely a huge attraction!

Lin Xiaoxiao and Manman indeed danced beautifully, and many people gathered around, mostly men. Some even contemplated hitting on them, waiting for a chance to approach when the girls finished.

At that moment, a few thugs with Sha Ma Te hairstyles and tattoos walked over, cigarettes in hand and looking around arrogantly, clearly swaggering like delinquents.

One of the thugs spotted Lin Xiaoxiao and Manman dancing and his eyes lit up.

"Brother Liang, look, those two chicks."

The thugs all looked toward Lin Xiaoxiao and Manman, their eyes gleaming as they watched.

"Damn, these chicks are hot. Wouldn’t it be awesome to get with them?" Brother Liang and his group were eyeing them intently.

Soon after, Lin Xiaoxiao and Manman stepped off the dance machine, and the group of thugs pushed through the crowd towards them.

"Make way, make way."

The surrounding people had some complaints initially, but after seeing the group’s appearance, they dared not speak.

"Hey girls, how about hanging out with us for a bit?" Brother Liang and his crew directly approached Lin Xiaoxiao and Manman, blocking their path.

Lin Xiaoxiao frowned as she looked at them and said irritably, "Who wants to hang out with you? Move aside, don’t block our way."

"Hey, still got a temper, huh?" Brother Liang chuckled, "If you don’t hang out with us today, you’re not going anywhere."

As he spoke, Brother Liang even reached out, trying to lift Lin Xiaoxiao’s chin.

But just then, a hand reached out from nowhere and firmly grasped his hand.

Brother Liang struggled momentarily, but found himself unable to break free. Turning his head, he saw that it was Li Chen who was holding his hand.

"You’re asking for it, kid," Brother Liang frowned, his face fierce, while several thugs immediately surrounded them, causing the bystanders to keep their distance.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Manman both hid behind Li Chen. After all, Lin Xiaoxiao knew just how formidable Li Chen was; these guys were no match for him.

"Brother-in-law, beat them up, make them incapable of looking after themselves," Lin Xiaoxiao said indignantly.

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoxiao’s words, the thugs scoffed disdainfully, "Little girl, it’s your buddy here who’ll be left unable to look after himself after we’re done, you mean?"

"Haha, looks like she still doesn’t get the situation."

"Forget it, I won’t pile on anymore once I’m done here, I hate to see many picking on a few, sigh." Another one feigned a sigh of resignation, though even without him, he thought they had enough hands.

Li Chen asked coolly, "And you think you guys can score chicks like this?"

"Oh, getting cocky now, are we? You think you can take us on your own? Should I just use one hand then?" Brother Liang turned his head, and the thugs laughed loudly, confident since they always had the run of the Arcade.

But as Brother Liang turned back, a fist flew straight towards his nose, catching him off guard and sending blood streaming from it.

Brother Liang felt a bit dazed and touched his nose, only to realize it was bleeding. Bleeding?

Enraged, Brother Liang and the other thugs screamed, "You’re dead, kid, guys—attack!"

Brother Liang immediately reached for the spring-loaded dagger from his waistband, but before he could even move, another punch landed on his face, sending him stumbling backward several steps.

Li Chen was actually holding back; otherwise, one punch would have been deadly.

The other thugs tried to join in, but Li Chen stood unmoving. His left hand swung out, slapping the first one to charge at him to the ground, and the second one as well.

After four continuous slaps, four of them were already on the ground groaning, and the last thug, just realizing what happened, found his comrades already down and was stupefied.

Seeing Li Chen’s right hand raised, the thug looked terrified, "No, I’ll hit myself, I’ll do it myself."

As he spoke, he began to retreat, raising his hand to slap his own face.

Li Chen shook his head and delivered a slap to the thug’s face.

"And you call this hanging out?" Li Chen shook his head, while the bystanders were stunned by his prowess.

Manman looked at Li Chen with eyes full of admiration, and Lin Xiaoxiao snorted proudly, thinking about the audacity of anyone daring to mess with her knowing how tough her brother-in-law was.

"All of you, get on the dance machine," Lin Xiaoxiao pointed at the thugs, "Don’t come off until you score passing marks."
