The last class is Friday afternoon.
Gao Heshuai got a new car and was in a very good mood, which resulted in his teaching efficiency being much slower than usual.
The class lasted for a full ten minutes before ending, amid the vicious curses of countless classmates, this long and sinful class.
Gao Heshuai walked out of the classroom and saw Yan Tianpeng from Class 9 standing in the corridor. He smiled at Yan Tianpeng.
Gao Heshuai's smile always seemed to be full of sarcasm, which made Yan Tianpeng feel cold.
"Why is he looking at me?" Yan Tianpeng was puzzled.
Before he could think more, Zhang Chi came out of the classroom.
Yan Tianpeng came over and put his arm around Zhang Chi's shoulders, and walked to the corner. He looked embarrassed:
"Brother Zhang, I have something to do today so I have to go home first. I'll leave the purchase of the router to you."
Zhang Chi was unhappy when he heard this:
"What's the meaning?"
In order to do business, the two of them each pooled three hundred yuan and agreed to go to the city together to buy a router.
"There's nothing I can do. Something really happened at home," said Yan Tianpeng.
Zhang Chi: "Okay, give me the money and I'll buy it for you."
"If we buy more together, we can bargain with the boss," he thought.
After hearing this, Yan Tianpeng's eyes moved. He was not confident about Zhang Chi's character and worried that he would take advantage of the situation.
So he found an excuse and said vaguely:
"No, Brother Zhang, I asked for the money from my family, so you have to take it home with you."
Zhang Chi asked, "Can you bring it back? Don't let me be the only one paying for it. I won't give you an equal share if I do that."
Yan Tianpeng said: "I will definitely bring it when school starts. I will come early on Sunday afternoon so that I won't be late for buying the router."
Zhang Chi thought about it and felt that it was a good idea. The idea of the router was proposed by Yan Tianpeng. He had not thought much about it before, but now he thought that if Yan Tianpeng did not participate in the business, he could make more money.
"Okay, I'll go buy it today." Zhang Chi didn't want to delay too long.
Buy a router earlier, make a lot of money earlier, and pay off your debts earlier.
His current starting capital of 300 yuan was borrowed from someone else. This money was not like the money he borrowed from the squad leader, so he had to pay it back early.
While the two were chatting, Ma Shicheng and Wang Longlong rushed outside.
Zhang Chi saw Ma Shicheng and said:
"Go out and play games?"
"Yes." Ma Shicheng asked again, "Together?"
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "No, no."
Now in his opinion, Ma Shicheng playing games is not doing his job properly, but he is running his own business while others are playing games.
What is progress? This is progress!
So he is an ambitious man. Zhang Chi chose to suffer first, and then live a carefree life after making a lot of money.
Ma Shicheng chatted with him for a few words and prepared to leave.
But Zhang Chi suddenly shouted, "Wang Longlong, I want to ask you something."
Wang Longlong stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Chi stood in the corner and waved.
Wang Longlong looked puzzled.
Zhang Chi said, "Your router is pretty good. Where did you buy it? I'm going to check it out at the computer mall in the city."
Wang Longlong often follows Brother Ma, and he has a say on this type of electronic products.
Wang Longlong sincerely suggested: "Don't go to the computer mall. The routers sold there are very bad. You can buy them directly online. The same router can be at least ten yuan cheaper."
He is not lying. This is based on the experience gained by Ma Ge, Guo Kunnan, and Shan Kaiquan when they shop online.
Zhang Chi listened to his words and retorted:
"It's only a dozen bucks cheaper, that's impossible, right? I guess the ones sold online are fakes."
Wang Longlong said: "If you choose the right store, there won't be fakes. Besides, routers are not expensive to begin with, so who would want to fake them?"
Zhang Chi said: "I called a store in the city and they said they had a new router with fast speed, good quality and cheap price."
Wang Longlong asked back: "They own a shop, can they still say their products are bad?"
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Don't they know more about running a shop than you?"
Damn it, Wang Longlong, who has always been honest, got furious when asked by Zhang Chi. He just wanted to say that he understands, but will he let you understand
As a result, Ma Shicheng next to him urged:
"Let's go, I've got the machine ready."
Wang Longlong left with Ma Ge without saying a word.
When they got downstairs, Wang Longlong cursed:
"What the hell is Zhang Chi? He asked me how to buy it. I kindly told him it was cheaper online, but he still argued with me."
Ma Shicheng said: "Don't argue with idiots."
…
Most of the students in Class Eight have left.
Even Chen Siyu, who always liked to procrastinate, went out with her sister Chen Siqing.
Xue Yuantong started to set off. It was time to explore the snack street on Friday again.
However, today, Xue Yuantong was not very happy. She tugged at the corner of Jiang Ning's clothes, as if she was afraid that he would run away.
"Jiang Ning, are you leaving tonight?"
"Okay, I'll go out for a while and come back tomorrow." Jiang Ning went to the northernmost city tonight to personally scout for materials for refining flying swords.
Xue Yuantong was unhappy and followed behind in a depressed mood.
With Jiang Ning's observation skills, he certainly noticed her abnormality.
So he said, "The high-speed train is at 9 pm. Go to bed early tonight. Maybe I'll be back early tomorrow morning."
Xue Yuantong: "I stay up late every day."
Jiang Ning thought that she was quite clingy. He thought for a moment and said:
"Why, you're not used to me not being here?"
Xue Yuantong immediately cheered up and hummed:
"How is that possible? You're not at home, and all the meals mom cooks are mine."
These words were originally used to deal with Jiang Ning, but Xue Yuantong thought about it and found them quite wonderful, as all the food was hers.
Jiang Ning felt relieved to see that she was no longer disappointed.
He looked towards the main road of the campus. Because Gao Heshuai stayed in class for ten minutes longer, he missed the peak school hours and the number of students on campus was sparse.
Jiang Ning pushed the bike forward, and occasionally there were students riding bicycles at high speed around him.
Bicycles are not allowed on campus, but today is Friday, a day off, so some students are brave enough to ride bicycles on campus.
Jiang Ning pushed the cart to the intersection outside the school. Xue Yuantong jumped on the back seat, holding the corner of his clothes with both hands.
Under normal circumstances, unless it was raining, windy, or racing, Xue Yuantong would not hug Jiang Ning.
Otherwise, if she was sitting on a bicycle and hugging him fearfully, wouldn't it make her, Xue Yuantong, look timid
Jiang Ning's mountain bike stopped before it had gone 200 meters.
Beside the road, there was a large empty concrete area with a group of people gathered around to watch. From time to time, there were sounds of pointing, exclamations, and sighs.
Chen Siyu was holding her sister Chen Siqing's arm, and next to them was Bai Yuxia who was carrying a white schoolbag. They greeted Jiang Ning.
Xue Yuantong, who was sitting in the back seat, pointed at the crowd of people gathered over there and shouted:
"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, it looks like so much fun!"
Based on Jiang Ning's many years of experience, everyone he meets likes to watch the fun, even him now.
Jiang Ning parked the car without locking it, and took Xue Yuantong closer to the crowd.
In the past, there were often two stalls in the open space here, one was a three-wheeled truck selling fruits, and the other was a mobile phone film stall, and occasionally there were other stalls.
However, today, there are more stalls selling fried skewers and rolled noodles.
Of course, the stall with the most people is the 'game' stall in the center.
Xue Yuantong read out: "Basketball hits sand pot."
Chen Siyu said: "Yes, yes, this is very difficult."
Chen Siqing said: "The basketball clearly hit the can, but the can didn't fall over at all."
Jiang Ning looked over and saw 10 Red Bull cans piled on the ground.
The jars are arranged in a pyramid shape, with 4 jars at the bottom, 3 standing upright on top, and 2 and 1 above that.
At this time, a boy spent 10 yuan and got a chance to smash the jar.
“Chen Xu, it’s not easy for you to make money, don’t spend it on this!”
Some people around laughed.
Chen Xu made his money from selling small commodities.
He said: "It doesn't matter whether I lose money or not, the main thing is to have fun."
The owner of the jar stall was a middle-aged man, and next to him was a fat middle-aged woman with a mean face.
The middle-aged man shouted:
"Knock down 10 cans and you'll get 500 yuan. Don't miss it if you pass by. Spend 10 yuan and try it once!"
Chen Xu held the basketball and stood outside the line.
He bent over, gestured with the basketball, shook it back and forth twice, and then threw it forward suddenly.
The basketball rolled forward quickly and hit the pyramid of cans accurately.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Several neatly arranged cans were knocked down in an instant, and the basketball hit the curtain behind them.
Shen Xu clapped his hands and blurted out:
“It’s over!”
The middle-aged man announced: "A total of 6 cans were knocked over, no reward!"
The middle-aged woman went up and put the jars back in place.
The onlookers shouted:
"It's so funny, whoever plays this game will be fooled!"
Bai Yuxia said to Jiang Ning and the others:
"The rules of the game are very clever. There is no reward for knocking down 4 to 7 cans. This perfectly avoids the easiest number of cans to knock down."
Chen Siyu saw through her boss and said:
"The four jars at the bottom must be filled with sand. They are too hard to break! It's impossible to get 500 yuan."
Chen Siqing said: "There are rewards for knocking down one, two, three, eighty, ninety or ten jars, but they are all very difficult. Except for ten and nine jars, the other rewards are very small."
Bai Yuxia analyzed: "Look carefully at the overall distance between the four jars below. It's about 40 centimeters, and the diameter of the basketball is about 24 centimeters."
"Even if you aim at the very center, there are still two jars at the bottom that you can't reach."
Bai Yuxia made a judgment: "That is to say, theoretically speaking, at most 8 jars can be knocked down."
Xue Yuantong just wrote down the reward rules:
"But if you knock down 8 cans, the reward is only 10 yuan."
Bai Yuxia: "It's almost like not making any money."
After listening to Bai Yuxia's analysis, Chen Siyu and her sister looked at her in surprise:
"Yuxia, you are so smart and amazing!"
Bai Yuxia said implicitly: "Just good at analysis."
They have already cracked the rules of the game, but there are always people willing to pay to play. 10 yuan becomes 500 yuan, a jackpot of fifty times, too many people can't resist the temptation.
Bai Yuxia and the others watched for a while. Seven or eight customers came and the cans that were knocked over were all between 4 and 7.
Even though the probability is so small, there are still customers playing.
Bai Yuxia was helpless: "The only lesson mankind has learned from history is that mankind does not learn lessons from history."
The lively atmosphere attracted more passers-by.
Lin Zida, Zhuang Jianhui, Ding Shuyan, and Li Shi from Class 1 of the Experimental Class of No. 4 Middle School happened to pass by.
Lin Zida always liked to join in the fun, and when he saw so many people, he immediately led a few people over.
Ding Shuyan glanced over there with a smile on her lips, and she found that Jiang Ning was there too.
Li Shi said, "Little Fatty Lin, don't join in the fun. Shuyan plans to go back to study early."
"It's okay." Ding Shuyan said softly.
She had given her best effort in this monthly exam and thought she could be among the top three in the school. However, when the results were announced, she found that she had underestimated the four middle school students.
To be precise, he underestimated Du Chuan, the 'college entrance examination warrior' personally invited by the principal.
Du Chuan still holds the third place in the school with an absolute advantage.
"Let's try again next time." Ding Shuyan is not the type to give up easily.
During this time, Chen Siyu suddenly glanced and saw Li Shi among the people.
"Sister, look, that girl is so tall."
Chen Siqing looked over and suddenly saw that tall figure:
"Not only is she tall, she also has a great figure, very slim."
"He's almost ten centimeters taller than me." Chen Siqing said enviously.
Chen Siyu chirped: "It's okay sister, she's not as tall as the two of us put together."
Chen Siqing frowned: "It seems to make sense."
"Sister, look at the girl next to her!" Chen Siyu was surprised, "She's so pretty!"
Bai Yuxia looked at the girl and suddenly said:
"She is Ding Shuyan."
All the students in the first year of high school, and even in the second and third years of high school, know what these three words mean.
Lin Zida said hello:
"Jiang Ning, you are here too!"
Ding Shuyan endured the feeling of being watched from all directions and nodded slightly.
Lin Zida found an empty spot, watched for a moment, then came back and shouted:
"Jianhui, your strong point, why don't you try it?"
Zhuang Jianhui is tall, with an angular face and is quite handsome.
Just now, a few girls were secretly paying attention to him.
Zhuang Jianhui smiled brightly and confidently: "Let's give it a try."
He shouted, "Boss, give it a shot."
The middle-aged man walked over with a smile, and the onlookers around him automatically made way for him.
Zhuang Jianhui handed over a brand new 20-yuan note.
The boss fished around and pulled out a wrinkled, worn 10-yuan note.
Zhuang Jianhui's eyes twitched, "Okay, stop looking, I'll give it two chances."
He held the basketball and stood a few meters in front of the sand tank. He read the rules of the game and understood them clearly.
The maximum reward is 500 yuan, which is not much for someone like him. The shoes he is wearing now cost 1,600 yuan a pair.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't care about 500 yuan at all. It would definitely be a happy thing if he could win 500 yuan.
Zhuang Jianhui seeks to maximize benefits and strives for the biggest reward.
Chen Siyu whispered, "I know him. He's really good at playing basketball. He even performed a slam dunk during military training."
Chen Siqing said: "Someone in the next dormitory has a crush on him."
Bai Yuxia said: "You are really good at playing basketball."
After hearing this, Xue Yuantong asked curiously, "Is he as good as Wu Xiaoqi from our class at playing basketball?"
Bai Yuxia looked strange: "It's not a question of whether Wu Xiaoqi is powerful or not, he is that kind of person who is very special..."
She didn't know how to express it.
"Hey, Wu Xiaoqi is here." Xue Yuantong said.
Across the street, Wu Xiaoqi was walking alone, holding a basketball.
He suddenly stopped and sniffed.
At this moment, Wu Xiaoqi smelled the scent of basketball.
He set off again, approaching the sand pot stall.
…
Zhuang Jianhui swung the basketball forward gracefully, and it rolled forward in a straight line.
A master can tell whether you have it or not with just one move.
The basketball hit the sand can pyramid, "Bang", knocking the can over.
Chen Siyu counted the jars: "1, 2...7, 8, a total of 8 jars."
She looked at Bai Yuxia: "Theoretically, the most jars that can be hit."
"Yeah, that's right." Bai Yuxia felt that Zhuang Jianhui was indeed good at playing basketball. He scored with every shot.
The boss came over and said, "Congratulations on hitting 8 jars, you get a reward of 10 yuan!"
There was a cunning light in his eyes: "Brother, do you want to continue playing, or do you want me to give you 10 yuan?"
Zhuang Jianhui thought of the boss's crumpled 10 yuan note and of course chose to continue.
After the ball loss just now, Zhuang Jianhui also found that it was a bit difficult to hit 10 of them.
However, this did not pose a problem for him. He held the basketball with his hands across his chest and rubbed his palms together violently. The basketball rotated under the force and flew forward at the same time.
Lin Zida: "Spin the ball!"
"Bang!" 6 cans were poured out, and there was no reward.
There was a burst of boos all around.
Chen Xu shouted, "It's very difficult. The spinning ball doesn't work. You can try to smash the top jar. The reward is 50 yuan."
He just lost the game, but he didn't leave yet. He wanted to see if anyone else could win the prize and gain some experience.
After all, the grand prize was 500 yuan, and he worked so hard and sold goods for half a month but still couldn't earn 500 yuan.
Zhuang Jianhui is not a stubborn person. This time he changed his playing style and made an aerial throw, trying to knock down the top can.
Zhuang Jianhui threw the ball forward with the same accuracy as he usually does when playing basketball.
The basketball accurately hit the only jar at the top of the pyramid, but when the jar fell, it also knocked over the two jars below it.
The boss shouted, "Knock down three cans and you'll get a 10 yuan reward! Do you want to continue playing?"
As soon as these words fell, a sonorous and powerful voice came from the outside:
"I'll do it!"
Everyone looked outside and saw a boy about 1.6 meters tall striding in with a basketball in his arms.
The boss looked at the basketball in his hand and reminded him:
"You can only use the basketball we provide."
Wu Xiaoqi: “No problem.”
He paid 10 yuan and came to the vicinity of Zhuang Jianhui.
The sand pot stall opened two sets of tracks at the same time, which can accommodate two customers at the same time.
So, the group on the left is Zhuang Jianhui, and the group on the right is Wu Xiaoqi.
Xue Yuantong clenched his fist and said, "A battle between the strong."
Zhuang Jianhui still planned to aim at the top jar. He stood up straight, took a deep breath, and found it quite interesting.
Amidst a burst of noise, Wu Xiao started up.
He actually sat on the ground!
Just sitting down was not enough. Wu Xiaoqi ignored the dust on the concrete floor and slowly lay on his back. In the end, his shoulders were only the distance of an egg from the ground.
He stretched his head forward, holding the ball in both hands, and stared at the sand pot.
Zhuang Jianhui was annoyed: "...Brother, you are making it very difficult for me."
It makes him look unprofessional.
Immediately, Zhuang Jianhui ignored him and planned to shoot.
Wu Xiaoqi stared at the sand pot. He was not playing games, he was participating in a professional competition.
What he smashed was not the sand pot, but his glorious life!
Two balls were thrown.
Zhuang Jianhui's basketball knocked over the top can and then knocked over another one.
Wu Xiaoqi's performance was perfect. The basketball brushed past the cans like a lover's caress, knocking over only one can.
The sand pot owner looked unhappy and announced:
"Knock down 2 cans, get 30 as reward, knock down 1, get 50 as reward!"
Then he shouted to the people around him: "Look everyone, we are not kidding, we can really hit it!"
Chen Siyu said: "Wu Xiaoqi is amazing."
Bai Yuxia: "Indeed, he has a very good control over the basketball, just like his hands."
Xue Yuantong asked again: "Is Wu Xiaoqi better at playing basketball?"
Bai Yuxia explained awkwardly: "Playing basketball is not just about shooting accurately, there are other factors."
After Xue Yuantong asked her, he asked another person:
"Jiang Ning, can you play basketball?"
"A little bit." Jiang Ning said.
Xue Yuantong's eyes sparkled, and she rubbed her hands together:
"I want to play."
Jiang Ning took out a 100-yuan note and gave it to her, saying generously, "Play as you like."

PS: I wanted to give the leader more chapters to finish this story in one go, but I didn’t… Sorry
