Holding the gun in one hand, he casually fired a shot at the white cloth, but to everyone's shock, he didn't hit a single balloon. The plastic bullet flew off target beyond the white cloth.
This made Luo Chao frown as he casually inspected the sights and the gun body, realizing that someone had tampered with it. If you followed the standard operation, it would be impossible to hit the target.
However, ordinary people don't understand this; they just want to have fun and spend money to enjoy themselves.
But Luo Chao was quite annoyed by this way of deceiving customers. Looking at the young guy, he said with a hint of sarcasm, "Quite the businessman!" Then he took out a coin from his pocket, and with a flick of his thumb, sent it flying into the young guy's hand. "This one doesn't count, I'll do it again."
This time, Luo Chao didn't even bother to aim and just fired, but this time, a balloon burst instantly. Then came another series of bangs, and in the blink of an eye, ten bullets were fired without missing a single one.
Throwing the gun back into the young guy's hands, Luo Chao looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Reload."
You're kidding me, Luo Chao has played with all kinds of guns in the military and encountered all sorts of tricky problems. How could a toy gun with tampered sights and trajectory possibly trouble him?
When the first shot missed, he had already figured everything out. Now, with just a five-meter shooting distance, hitting the target with every shot was a piece of cake, even if it were at the gun's maximum range.
The young guy now couldn't figure out what was going on with Luo Chao. It wasn't that nobody could hit ten consecutive shots before, but never as easily as he did. All he could do now was pray that Luo Chao was just lucky, not actually skilled.
Otherwise, he'd take a big loss. A plush doll costing several hundred could be won for just two bucks, a loss he'd cry over.
But reality gave him a hard blow. As soon as Luo Chao got the gun, he started firing like a bamboo tube bursting open, and before the guy could even lower his hand, Luo Chao had already handed the gun back over.
Mechanically, he reloaded the bullets again.
The continuous sound of balloons popping drew a crowd, much like the sound of firecrackers. Among the crowd were two slender and charming girls.
One of the girls, wearing a baseball cap and black sunglasses at night with a somewhat eccentric style, said, "Cousin, that man is amazing! We spent a hundred bucks earlier and couldn't even burst a dozen." Her voice was sweet and light, sending shivers down one's spine.
"Maybe he's had some practice. Alright, let's not watch anymore. There are too many people here, and if someone discovers your true identity, we're in trouble," the other girl, obviously older, said affectionately to her cousin.
"No way!!" The girl whined to her cousin, "I worked so hard to sneak out from Sister Li to play with you; can't you let me enjoy it a little longer? I really want to see if he can get that plush toy."
Then she turned her head to continue watching Luo Chao's performance, exclaiming in surprise, "Cousin, look, forty already! That's amazing!"
The young guy managing the stall looked utterly downcast. After loading the bullet for the last time, he hesitated to hand it back to Luo Chao and said softly, "Brother, I know you're skilled. How about this: from now on, you can play here anytime you like when you're in the mood. Let's just call it a day for today!"
If Luo Chao really took the item, he'd have worked for nothing for a few days.
"No way. I'm here just for that," pointing at the plush toy on the ground, "specifically to give it to my girlfriend, so c'mon, hand over the gun."
Luo Chao wanted this guy to take a loss so he would appreciate doing proper business and stop engaging in shady practices.
In the end, the young guy couldn't escape, and it turned into a losing deal. He regretted it deeply, wondering why he had to involve this guy in the first place.
Feeling exasperated, he handed over the more than one-meter-tall plush bear to Luo Chao.
Luo Chao casually gave it to Tang Yan, seeing her face lit up with happiness. He said, "Let's go! Let's have fun somewhere else."
He didn't care about the young guy's feelings; as the saying goes... in the end, you always have to pay for your actions. Although it's not entirely appropriate here, that's the general idea.
"Ah!! A thief!!"
Just then, a sharp scream diverted Luo Chao's attention.
Turning around, he saw two girls pointing in panic at a skinny man holding a woman's handbag, sprinting away.
"He stole my bag, can anyone help me...?"
Among the two girls was someone Luo Chao surprisingly recognized as their class teacher, Dong Jie.
Gopher was a small-time thief from the God Thieves gang, looking very much like a gopher. His role was to find targets and steal in the Liuhai Night Market.
Today, as he was just starting his "work," he spotted a prime target. To him, these two fashionably dressed but secretive women were cash cows—likely mistresses of some wealthy boss, with bags full of cash.
If he succeeded tonight, it would equal a few days' worth of spoils.
Following the two women closely, he waited for an opportunity to strike. But for some reason, they kept avoiding crowded areas as if they were hiding something, making it hard for him to make a move.
Finally, the two women stood still, seemingly attracted by some exciting event, making them pause to watch. This excited Gopher immensely. He slowly approached them with the crowd.
The two women were now watching Luo Chao's shooting performance, unaware of the figure creeping toward their bag.
Suppressing his excitement, Gopher carefully unzipped the handbag and reached inside.
But then he saw someone noticing his action, opening their mouth to alert them.
He then put on a fiercely aggressive expression, glaring at the person. He knew that ordinary common folks were typically too scared to offend thugs like him, so simply scaring this person should suffice.
As expected, the middle-aged man was immediately silenced by his intimidation, turning his head aside, feigning ignorance. He understood that if he spoke out, life would become difficult. These loafing thugs didn't have much capability but were persistent; if they harassed him, his family wouldn't have peace.
Hmph, smart choice. Gopher thought smugly, casting another glance at him, before continuing his reach into the bag.
"What are you doing?!" An enchanting female voice startled Gopher. He looked up to see the bag's owner staring at him blankly through sunglasses, her red lips forming an inviting "O" shape.
The next moment, the girl realized what was happening, and a sharp scream pierced the air. "Ah!! A thief."
