I Am A Prodigy 177 Unbelievable

Clang!

More clanging noise continued!

He scored all the hoops with perfect accuracy!

The little kids surrounding him got excited, all of them rushing forward and begged Ye Lingchen to help them throw the hoops in their cute and sweet voices. The repeated sounds of “Big brother” sounded like music to his ears.

It made Ye Lingchen feel extremely satisfied too.

“Come, children. What do you want? Don’t be shy with me. Today I’ll be the Chinese Santa. Name your wishes!” Ye Lingchen laughed out loud. ‘There is joy in helping. The wise words of the old never lie to me.’

The other students with Ye Lingchen were also filled with joy, benefitting by association. They received the idolizing gaze of the children as they helped Ye Lingchen distribute the gifts.

“Stall owner, what’s the matter? Why are there fewer and fewer prizes as we win them?” Ye Lingchen could not help but ask.

“Brother, please, I’m really out of stock. My prizes have all been won by you. Have mercy!” The stall owner’s eyes were red, on the verge of tears.

“I saw him take his things out from that box at the back. There’s still a lot of them,” A little kid said in a crisp voice with an innocent look on his face. “You’re lying. You’re a bad uncle!”

“He even said he doesn’t cry earlier. Now he’s crying. What a shame.” Another kid interjected.

“Misunderstanding. It’s all a misunderstanding!” The stall owner rushed over and lay on top of his box. His tears streaming down from his face, dripping on the floor. He cried pitifully, “No more, I beg you to stop throwing hoops. I have family and kids at home. I’m a poor man!”

He was unbelievably regretful by then. How could such a monstrous person exist in this world? It was impossible!

If he knew such a person was in this group, he would not have dared to provoke them.

Terrible!

Horrifying!

“Alright, let’s go.” Ye Lingchen decided it was a good place to stop. The gang had vented their frustrations and enjoyed themselves. He knew not to push others over the edge.

“Ye’zi, you’re amazing! That felt great!”

“That’s right. I’ve never felt so exhilarated in my life. That felt so good, hahaha…”

“We’ve made a killing this time! We students from Capital University are not to be crossed so easily!”

“Ye’zi, you must have a cheat activated in your life. That was just too heroic!”

The gang laughed along their way. They held onto the prizes they won from throwing hoops. Crystal swan, golden pig, big plushies, and so on. They returned with a full load, yet nobody felt tired.

That commotion attracted a number of looks from the people around them.

Right then, Zhu Changdong and four others walked over dejectedly. The four guys went on a roller coaster ride with a girl.

“Rob? Do you think we’re that low? We won them using our skills!” Little Gen showed off arrogantly. He then asked, “Changdong, why are you guys so dejected? What happened?”

“Don’t mention it. There were dart throwing and ball throwing stalls. We gave them a try, but ended up winning nothing.” Zhu Changdong waved his empty hands. At first, the four boys wanted to show off in front of the girls but ended up failing miserably.

“Damn! Which insolent stall is that? Are they looking down on us Capital University students?” The gang immediately got angered. They put on quite a show, marching over in a grand fashion.

The dart game gave out rewards based on the points scored. The closer to the bullseye, the better the prize.

The ball throwing game was instead much more straightforward. One only needed to throw the ball into the red bucket. The more thrown inside, the better the prize.

Both stalls were situated next to each other.

The gang’s arrival caused quite a commotion as they had a lot of prizes in their hands after all.

Both stall owners exchanged glances, a serious look creased their expression. There was a high probability of an expert in there.

“Everyone, do you want to give it a try?”

“Let’s start with 20 balls and 20 darts?” Hao Jian suggested.

“Alright! Let’s try!” The gang felt countless gazes locked onto them. Their motivation received a sudden boost. Was that the feeling of being an expert?

“It seems my secret lineage as the descendent of Flying Dagger Li[1] can’t be kept silent any longer.” Potato’s eyes glowed suddenly, showing off the flair of a hidden master.

Holding onto a dart with his hand, he launched it with full force. “Behold my perfect accuracy!”

Thud!

The dart flawlessly hit the wall, bounced off, then hit the floor.

“Hot damn! Potato, where were you aiming? That’s off by a mile!” Little Gen was stunned, then stepping forward to take his place.

However, 20 darts later, the gang had at most grazed the target. The results were painful to watch.

On the other side, 20 balls bounced out of the bucket. None had stayed inside.

Such disastrous results.

At that moment, they had a reality check.

“This is too difficult. What a scam.”

“Sigh, we’ve just wasted another buttload of money.”

“Luckily Ye’zi just won us quite some prizes.”

Right at that moment!

All of their stares shifted towards Ye Lingchen.

“Ye’zi, you like to hide your abilities. How about showing us a thing or two now?” Little Gen started immediately.

“Ye’zi, I think you can do it. Stop pretending!” Potato added.

“Ye’zi, if you’re a man, you should act when the time comes!” Xiang cheered from the side.

Ye Lingchen rubbed his nose, “It’s fine. You guys enjoy yourself.”

“Ye Lingchen, just give it a try if you can do it. Their special prize is a barbeque grill. Coincidentally we don’t have that prepared. We can have an outdoor barbeque with it,” Gao Wen suggested.

“Wah, barbeque!”

“Ye Lingchen, just do it. Take it as doing us girls a favor!”

Once the female classmates heard about the barbeque, their eyes glowed excitedly and locked onto Ye Lingchen.

“Uh…alright.” Ye Lingchen nodded helplessly.

The surrounding audience realized that Ye Lingchen was the hidden expert.

He casually grabbed a dart and threw it!

Bullseye!

Without waiting for the owner to take it down, the second dart shot forth!

Bullseye again!

Following that, third, fourth, fifth…

20 darts short forward one after another. Each of them deeply embedded on the bullseye tightly crammed together. The sight stunned all those watching.

“F*ck, this is cray cray.”

“Is he a mutant? Maybe this world has secret weapons? Or could this be a martial arts expert?”

“OMG, amazing! Unbelievable!”

Although they were mentally prepared, they were still shocked by the sight. Their eyes popped wide open and their jaws dropped wide enough to fit an ostrich egg.

“Ye’zi, you’re the b*stard child of heaven right? Tell me now. Is there anything that you can’t do?”

“This is so unfair. Why did the heavens bless you with good looks and still give you such abilities? Comparisons can be devastating!”

“Ye’zi, are you a superman? Tell me now. Did you come from Mars or the moon?”
