"You..." the haughty girl was left red-faced and speechless by the retort.
Then she blustered, "Catching one is nothing, see who can catch more if you dare!"
"I was just hoping you'd say that!" Lin Yifan responded with a sneer.
He had already sensed how advanced the haughty girl's boyfriend's realm was, a mere Breaking Mortal at the First Realm Peak, with only a tiny bit of cultivation power, no wonder he succeeded only three times out of five.
So, what he most wanted to hear was the haughty girl saying these words because then he'd have the chance to humiliate her thoroughly.
The haughty girl certainly couldn't achieve a hundred percent success rate, but he could; therefore, the final result would be the haughty girl's humiliating defeat, and Su Qingqing and the others would get a great sense of release.
"Then bring it on! Let's see how capable you are!" the haughty girl continued to taunt.
However, her boyfriend could no longer hold back; Lin Yifan openly accepting this challenge signified that his strength must be greater than his, and the likely losers would be them.
So, he tugged at the hem of the haughty girl's clothes, persuading, "Baby, let it go. Don't stoop to their level."
"What's there to be afraid of? Aren't you the self-proclaimed number one claw machine expert in the world? Do you need to be afraid of these nobodies?" the haughty girl challenged.
"It's precisely because I'm so good that I don't want to stoop to their level. It's the manner of a great hero, don't you understand?"
"I don't understand; I only know I'm very angry and upset right now," the haughty girl replied, then questioned, "Will you help me or not? If you won't, then don't come looking for me again, and don't even think about getting me tonight."
Faced with such a threat, the haughty girl's boyfriend was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
After struggling with the thought for a while, he gritted his teeth and agreed to the haughty girl's request.
For the sake of a night of passion, he was willing to gamble it all.
On the other side, seeing the haughty girl arguing with her boyfriend, Lin Yifan feigned ignorance and said, "Why do you ask him? Aren't you very strong and capable?"
"My boyfriend is my lucky star; with him around, whatever I do usually ends in success," the haughty girl shamelessly replied.
"Oh! I see, it seems the world is truly full of jokes," Lin Yifan couldn't help but sneer, utterly astonished by the haughty girl's explanation.
"Pfft!"
Zhou Jiajia and the others couldn't help but laugh.
Anyone with discernment could see that the haughty girl was extremely dependent on her boyfriend; to put it plainly, her ability to catch the dolls was all thanks to him.
Although it was uncertain how her boyfriend helped her achieve this result, the haughty girl's success was inseparable from his contribution.
Of course, this was just the perspective of ordinary people, Lin Yifan and Xiaofang knew how the haughty girl's boyfriend had helped her achieve the miraculous ability to catch dolls.
"If you don't believe it, forget it, I can't be bothered to explain to you," the haughty girl was so angered she was hopping, but there was nothing she could do about it; she certainly couldn't say that her ability to catch dolls was all her boyfriend's doing.
"Alright! No more nonsense, since you're so eager to make a fool of yourself, I'll let my girlfriend satisfy you," Lin Yifan didn't want to waste words and went straight to the point.
"Who's making a fool of themselves is yet to be seen," the haughty girl scorned.
"Then let's start, let's see who can catch more dolls," Lin Yifan suggested.
"Let's start then, who's afraid?"
Without further ado, the competition began. They set a time limit: within five minutes, whoever caught more dolls would win.
For the haughty girl's girlfriend, a five-minute competition was a challenge; she didn't know if she had the ability to last the full duration, and she couldn't help feeling anxious.
Lin Yifan was different, however. With his current strength, holding on for five minutes and succeeding with every attempt was a breeze, so he wasn't afraid at all.
Even though Zhou Jiajia's boyfriend was desperately trying to hide his inner panic, he still showed a hint of nervousness.
Seeing Zhou Jiajia's boyfriend's deeply furrowed brow and anxious demeanor, Lin Yifan couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth in a sneer.
To mock anyone else would be fine, but to mock his girlfriend? That would only lead to your public embarrassment.
The competition started quickly. Both parties inserted game coins and began to maneuver the joysticks, aiming to grab the dolls.
Lin Yifan instructed Su Qingqing to just aim for the areas with more dolls without being too careful to find the perfect spot, which would waste time.
Qingqing carefully heeded Lin Yifan's advice and straightforwardly maneuvered the claw toward the pile of dolls.
With each plunge of the claw, it brought up a doll.
Success after success made Qingqing even more fearless. She quickly inserted more game coins, moved the joystick, and grabbed at the dolls.
Seeing that her opponent was grabbing with unerring accuracy and speed, Zhou Jiajia was quite upset and internally restless.
"Can you pass me some luck? She has already grabbed five dolls, and I've only got three," Zhou Jiajia complained to her boyfriend, taking out all her frustration on him.
Zhou Jiajia's boyfriend responded with a look of aggrievement, "Damn it, I want to succeed with every try too, but my cultivation power is limited; I can't exercise it freely like our opponent. Can you blame me?"
Despite feeling utterly discontented inside, he held it in because he didn't want all that he had done before to be in vain.
"Baby! Don't worry, I will make sure you win!" Zhou Jiajia's boyfriend whispered comfortingly and continued to draw on his cultivation power to help Zhou Jiajia grab the dolls.
With this boost of power, Zhou Jiajia's rate of capturing dolls also increased.
In this way, the two sides were evenly matched, and it was hard to tell who would lose or win.
The commotion at the claw machine attracted many arcade customers and onlookers, both young men and women.
They were all shocked by what they saw. Normally, when they played the claw machine, they would miss nine out of ten times, but these two women were succeeding every single time, which was terrifying.
"My God! How are they doing this?"
"When did grabbing dolls become as easy as pulling up radishes?"
"I must be seeing things!"
Many customers couldn't believe what they were seeing and rubbed their eyes before looking again.
Only when they found that the scene before their eyes hadn't changed did they believe that it was all real.
The arcade owner also came to watch the battle. As he saw one doll after another being grabbed, his heart ached.
"My dolls! Why? Why is this happening?"
He was on the verge of tears, extremely distressed.
After conning people for so long, it was finally time to pay the price. This was karma.
As time passed, Zhou Jiajia's boyfriend became increasingly strained, struggling to cope with the heavy consumption of his cultivation power.
Three minutes in, he was sweating profusely, his complexion turning a bit pale, and the situation was very grim.
In contrast, Lin Yifan looked lively and unharmed, completely unaffected.
