Hearing this, Xia Ruofei stopped and turned back to ask with interest, "Challenge activity? What kind of challenge? "
The shop assistant made an inviting gesture and said, "Please follow me!"
The shop assistant led Xia Ruofei and Lin Qiao to the other side of the shop. There was a basketball machine by the door. It was the kind of machine that was used in shopping malls or gaming parlors.
The shop assistant said, "Sir, we have a promotion in our shop recently. Customers who spend more than 20,000 yuan in our shop can get a chance to challenge the basketball machine. You can get different rewards if you pass different levels. If you get a high score, you can get more rewards!"
Xia Ruofei and Lin Qiao looked at each other and smiled. "Oh? Tell me more about it. "
There was a sign next to the shooting machine. The clerk pointed at the sign and said, "Sir, the specific rules of the challenge are here. You can take a look first. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me at any time."
Xia Ruofei nodded and looked at the sign.
The basketball machine had four levels and nine basketballs were used.
The first level took one minute. If you got 40 points, you would pass. The prize was a mouse pad.
The second level took 50 seconds. If you got 150 points, you would pass. The prize was an original Apple data cable.
The third level took 40 seconds. If you got 250 points, you would pass. The prize was an original Macbook wired mouse.
The fourth level took 30 seconds. This was the last level. If you got 400 points, you would get a Macbook Bluetooth wireless mouse.
The prizes ranged from dozens of yuan to 500 yuan. The prizes couldn't be stacked. You could only get the most valuable prize.
This was, in fact, a marketing campaign. Xia Ruofei had played this kind of basketball machine that was commonly seen in shopping malls and game halls before. Many people could play to the third or fourth level, and it was not too difficult. Therefore, the prizes set were not very high-end.
People spent more than 20,000 yuan. Giving away a mouse that cost 300 to 500 yuan was nothing. Even if they didn't play games, they would often give away similar accessories when they bought such expensive computers.
However, Xia Ruofei noticed that in addition to the reward mentioned above, the merchant also set up a record reward.
After finishing all four levels and scoring more than 400 points, one would be able to obtain a reward for clearing the level. The reward was an original Bluetooth wireless mouse.
If the total score exceeded 500 points, the prize would be upgraded to an iPod nano worth around 1,000 yuan.
If the total score exceeded 600 points, the prize would be upgraded again, becoming an iPod touch worth around 1,500 yuan.
Once the total score exceeded 700 points, the prize would be upgraded to an Apple smartwatch worth around 2,200 yuan.
With a total score of more than 800 points, the level of the prize was raised all of a sudden. It became an iPad Pro worth about 5,000 yuan.
The reason why there was such a high value prize was mainly because 800 points was actually very difficult to achieve. Many people who played basketball games only got 600 to 700 points at most.
Although there were rumors on the Internet that some amazing people could score more than 1,000 points, they were very rare.
The threshold for this challenge was very high. One had to spend more than 20,000 yuan in the store to have a chance. Among these consumers, there was suddenly a basketball player. The probability was too low. Therefore, the 700 to 800 points prize was actually more of a gimmick. People who could really take it away could only be said to be a phoenix's feather or a unicorn's horn.
In fact, this event had been going on for more than ten days. The most expensive prize given out by the store was an iPod touch.
No one would be able to get a prize of 700 or 800 points.
800 points was not the final level.
The sign showed that if the total score exceeded 900 points, one could get a 13.3-inch Macbook Pro worth 15,000 yuan.
With a total score of more than 1,000 points, one would be able to win the ultimate prize — a gift package of the Apple series, which included a Beats Studio headset worth 2,300 yuan, an Apple smartwatch worth 2,200 yuan, an iPhone 7 Plus worth 7,000 yuan, a 12.9-inch iPad Pro worth 8,500 yuan, a 13.3-inch Macbook Pro worth 15,000 yuan, as well as accessories such as a Bluetooth mouse and a Bluetooth keyboard. The total value was nearly 40,000 yuan.
Of course, this so-called ultimate prize was just a pie in the sky painted by the store. It was only theoretically possible to break through 1,000 points. Although there were legends on the Internet of amazing people who played basketball games and scored more than 1,000 points, there were probably only a few people in the world who could reach this level.
Therefore, this was just a big gimmick for the store's promotion.
When the store assistant saw Xia Ruofei carefully studying the ultimate prize of 1,000 points, he could not help but feel a little amused. However, Xia Ruofei was a customer who had spent more than 20,000 yuan in the store, so he could not rush him. He just waited patiently by the side.
After Xia Ruofei finished looking, he asked, "Can I start the challenge now?"
"Please wait a moment!" The store assistant said, "Please give me the receipt."
Xia Ruofei took out the receipt and handed it to the store assistant.
The store assistant took out a small stamp and stamped the receipt, indicating that the receipt had enjoyed the opportunity to play the basketball game.
Then, he said, "Sir, once you are ready, you can start the challenge at any time!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said to Lin Qiao, "Qiao 'er, how about I win an Apple gift pack for you?"
Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, okay! Brother Ruofei, wait a moment! I want to record the whole process of your challenge! "
After that, Lin Qiao immediately took out his phone and opened the camera app. He switched to the recording mode and said, "You can start now!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. He put aside the laptop box in his hand and signaled to the store assistant.
The store assistant immediately came over and operated the machine. Normally, the basketball game would start by inserting coins. However, this was not a game hall, so the store assistant could directly adjust the parameters of the machine and it could start.
The basketball game made a sound and showed that it was the first stage. Then, it started a five-second countdown.
Some customers who were passing by, as well as customers in the Apple store, saw that someone was challenging the basketball game, so they all gathered around.
Soon, the five-second countdown ended. The board of the basketball game rose and nine basketballs rolled down. A sixty-second countdown appeared on the board. This was the time for the first stage.
Xia Ruofei picked up a basketball and threw it with one hand without even looking. With a "shua" sound, the basketball hit the basket and scored two points!
When the first ball was thrown out, Xia Ruofei's other hand had already picked up the second basketball. He almost did not hesitate to throw it with one hand.
Again, it hit the basket and scored a total of four points!
Next, Xia Ruofei shot left and right. The interval between each shot was very short, and each shot accurately hit the basket.
The "shua shua shua" sound of the basketball hitting the basket sounded. The score displayed on the basketball game quickly rose and soon reached 180 points.
When the onlookers saw Xia Ruofei's shooting posture and the continuous shooting of the basketballs to the basket, they could not help but exclaim.
Some people noticed that Xia Ruofei had not missed a single shot so far. Every shot was a hollow basket. It was really pleasing to the eye.
The store assistant was also a little stunned. We met a master! This guy can't really break eight hundred points, right? Then wouldn't we have to give out an iPad Pro?
As for the thousand-point mark, the store assistant did not think about it because it was simply an impossible task!
Soon, the clock entered the 20-second countdown. At this time, the score for every shot was three points.
Xia Ruofei was still shooting left and right with both hands. Moreover, he made consecutive shots. There were no mistakes at all. The score rose even faster.
If it were not for the fact that there were only nine basketballs and that it took time for the ball to roll down from the top after entering the basket, Xia Ruofei could even shoot faster.
Soon, the first minute of the first level passed. The baffle slowly rose, leaving the basketball on top.
Finally, the score on the basketball game came out — 323 points!
Everyone could not help but gasp. Many people might not have such a score after shooting the fourth level, but Xia Ruofei actually achieved it in the first level!
This score had already exceeded the score for the third level. In other words, even if Xia Ruofei did not shoot, he could smoothly enter the fourth level. It would be easy for him to get the reward.
When they heard that there was a good shooter here, many people gathered around. Now, there were more and more onlookers.
When the store assistant saw that the situation was not good, he quickly ran into the store and called out the store manager and the manager.
When the store manager saw the score for the first level on the basketball game, his face almost turned green.
It was the first time he saw someone who was so good at the basketball game. Could this person be the legendary basketball player who deliberately came to win the prize?
However, the store manager thought about it and quickly dismissed the idea. He also noticed that Xia Ruofei was about to leave after buying the items. It was the store assistant who stopped him and told him that there was such a challenge. This meant that before he bought the laptop, he did not know about the basketball game at all!
Moreover, even if Xia Ruofei was a pro who deliberately came to win the prize, the store manager could only pinch his nose and accept it. He spent more than twenty thousand yuan to participate in the basketball game. It was completely within the rules!
Lin Qiao watched and recorded. He was also very excited and could not help but shout, "Brother Ruofei, go for it! Go for it! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and looked back at Lin Qiao.
After the first level ended, there was another five-second countdown. Then, the second level would start immediately.
Soon, the countdown ended and the second level began.
This level had a total of fifty seconds. Because Xia Ruofei's shooting speed was very fast, all nine basketballs were left on the top of the backboard.
Xia Ruofei waited for the backboard to open and the basketballs to roll down. Then, like lightning, he picked up a basketball with one hand and threw it out without even looking.
The difficulty of the second level had increased. The basket would move left and right.
However, Xia Ruofei's basketball seemed to have eyes. He accurately predicted the direction of the basket's movement and it still went into the net with a swoosh.
After the basketball was thrown out, Xia Ruofei picked up the second basketball with his other hand and threw it out quickly again.
It went into the basket!
Then, there was a continuous performance. The basketball kept flying to the basket and going into the basket. It was very pleasing to the eye.
That works? The onlookers could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
The basket had started to move left and right, but Xia Ruofei still did not need to look at the basket. Moreover, he still maintained such a high shooting speed and 100% accuracy.
The score was rising rapidly.
Was this guy a human or not? All the onlookers couldn't help but have this thought in their minds.
The store manager and the staff looked even more dignified. It looked like they were going to spend a lot of money today!
Only Lin Qiao tried to keep the phone steady while cheering for Xia Ruofei loudly.
In the last twenty seconds, the score for each shot became three points. The score was rising even faster.
After the second level ended, the total score reached an astonishing 568 points!
It was only the second level, but he had already broken through the level in advance. It was far more than the 400 points reward for passing the level. It was even more than the 500 points for the iPad Nano!
Everyone could not help but have a thought. He might really be able to get more than a thousand points!
However, the store manager also comforted himself. The last two levels only had seventy seconds. According to his accuracy and shooting speed, getting eight or nine hundred points should not be a problem. However, to get more than a thousand points, the possibility was too low …
Just as everyone was having their own thoughts, the third level's countdown ended and the level officially opened!
This level only had forty seconds. Xia Ruofei started to shoot continuously again. Moreover, everyone felt that Xia Ruofei's shooting speed seemed to be faster. Especially in the last twenty seconds of the three-point mode, Xia Ruofei's shooting speed was obviously much faster.
Moreover, until now, he had maintained a 100% accuracy. It was a miracle.
After the third level ended, the total score reached a terrifying 791 points.
Everyone calculated. Although the third level was ten seconds shorter than the second level, Xia Ruofei's score was actually not much different from the second level!
'Doesn't this guy get tired?' Did his arms not get tired after shooting so many shots? How was it possible for him to maintain such a high speed and hit rate all the time?
This was too scary!
There was no doubt that he would get more than eight hundred points. That meant that the iPad Pro that was worth more than five thousand was basically in his hands.
Moreover, with Xia Ruofei's consistency, it seemed that it would not be difficult for him to get more than nine hundred points. That meant that the 13.3-inch Macbook Pro that was worth fifteen thousand was also in his bag!
