Zhang Heng did not know if he was hallucinating. He stood up from the bench and was about to confirm it when Hayase Asuka and the boy ran out of the haunted house.
The girl patted her chest and said, "That scared the hell out of me. I was walking along the aisle when a face suddenly popped out and stuck its tongue out at me. After that, I ran out of the haunted house. I shouldn't have entered it in the first place. You are the wisest."
Zhang Heng looked at the boy who majored in Japanese, and the latter shrugged with a bitter look on his face.
Visiting a haunted house was supposed to be a good opportunity. Girls would subconsciously lean on the boys around them when they were frightened, but Hayase Asuka did not play by the rules. She ran out of the haunted house, and he chased after her for a while, but nothing romantic happened.
After being interrupted by the two, Zhang Heng knew that he would not be able to find Hayase Asuka even if he chased after her. However, he did not dwell on it. There were people who looked similar in this world, and one look was not enough to prove anything. So, Zhang Heng asked the girl, "What are we going to play next?"
"Can I choose?" Hayase Asuka pointed at an oversized bear stuffed in front of a window not far away. "Can I have that?"
It was the amusement park's self-operated arcade, and there were all kinds of mini-games. The three of them walked over and asked the staff in Christmas clothes, and the latter told them that the stuffed bear was the prize for the mini-game.
So, the boy who majored in Japanese said, "Let me try."
He wanted to prove himself in front of Hayase Asuka. He turned around and looked around, and finally, his eyes fell on the shooting game.
Most of the boys had played some FPS games online, and they were more or less experienced. After watching others play a round and understanding the rules, he put in the game token and picked up the laser gun.
After taking a deep breath, he pressed the start button in front of him.
The game itself was simple. All players had to do was hit the balloons on the screen. Different colored balloons represented different points, and the final score was determined by the two-minute game time.
At first, it was quite easy. The boy from the Japanese language major kept hitting the most valuable colored balloons. He even found time to harvest the second most valuable red balloons and the third most valuable yellow balloons. His points rose quickly. If this continued, he might be able to get the grand prize in less than two minutes.
But as time passed, the balloons rose faster and faster. There were also black balloons that deducted points from the points. The boy from the Japanese major began to struggle. His points rose at a slower rate. Seeing that he was running out of time, he started to panic. At the last moment, he accidentally hit a black balloon. In the end, he only got the last consolation prize — a Christmas sticker.
This result made him feel a little embarrassed, so he decisively started the second round of the game. However, he did not know if it was because he was mentally unbalanced or because he wanted to show off too much, but his score this time was not as good as the first time. He actually hit the black balloons a total of four times, causing a burst of laughter behind him.
From the looks of it, the group of people seemed to be students, probably from a nearby sports school. They all looked very muscular. Although the boy from the Japanese major was a little upset when he heard the laughter, he did not say anything.
What really started the argument was that one of them blurted out the word 'weakling'. The guy's voice was not loud, but it was just loud enough for the people around him to hear. So, the group of people burst into laughter again.
Although Hayase Asuka did not understand what they were talking about, she could feel that the atmosphere was not right. So, she took the initiative to suggest that they play something else instead of the teddy bear.
Zhang Heng did not object to her suggestion. The Japanese major saw that there were only three people on his side, and Hayase Asuka was a girl. He was not a sporty guy, and Zhang Heng looked average. If they were to get into a fight, he would be at a disadvantage. So, he had no choice but to swallow his pride for the time being.
So, the three of them went next door to play darts. Meanwhile, the group of people took the laser guns and started shooting.
Hayase Asuka's luck was off the charts tonight. She did not receive any professional training, but she managed to throw three ten-points in a row. Although the last dart dragged the target, she still managed to get a fourth-tier prize.
When the staff handed her a mug, she was obviously in a better mood. The Japanese major, however, seemed a little distracted. Most of his attention was still on the group of people next door. When he saw that they only got a consolation prize after two rounds, he could not help but mock them. "I thought you guys were good."
His words were heard by one of the guys who looked like he was playing basketball. He turned around and smirked. "Yo, it's you guys. You haven't left yet. Why? Do you want to play a round?"
The Japanese major did not expect his whisper to be heard by the other party. However, he did not want to appear too cowardly. So, he bit the bullet and asked, "What do you want to play?"
"Since we look down on each other, why don't we have a competition?" The guy who was playing basketball paused for a moment. "We won't make things difficult for you. The loser just has to shout 'weakling' three times here."
When he mentioned the Japanese major again, he was immediately angered.
He had seen the score on the other party's screen, and it was not much different from his previous two rounds. He felt that if he was careful, he should have a good chance of winning. So, he finally couldn't help but agree. "Okay, come on!"
Seeing that he accepted the challenge, the people on the other side seemed to get excited. They all looked at the Japanese major, but their eyes were not looking at their opponent. Instead, they were looking at a clown who was overestimating himself. Someone whistled and chuckled. "Wang Bin, you are too mean. Are you bullying a fool?"
The guy named Wang Bin, who was also the guy who practiced basketball earlier, spread his hands and said, "What can I do? They think we are weak, and they want to teach us a lesson so that we can look good in front of our girlfriends."
After that, he gestured to the Japanese major. "You guys or us first?"
The latter also felt that the atmosphere was a little strange at this time. These guys in front of him were too fearless. Their level was obviously very average, but they were completely confident that they could beat him.
Psychological warfare? Although the Japanese major thought so, he still felt a little unconfident. He was already a little regretful, knowing that he had gone too far. In fact, Hayase Asuka did not understand what 'weakling' meant at all. However, he felt a little embarrassed. In a sense, the guy named Wang Bin was right. He was indeed trying to show off in front of Hayase Asuka.
