Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches Chapter 115 - Yay!
At the milk tea shop, the two of them couldn't just sit still.
HuMing and Ye QiuXue decided to head to the mall and do so shopping. However, this ti was different; Ye QiuXue had brought up going to the arcade inside the mall.
Over the years, most arcades around the city had closed down as ti passed.
Those old arcade machines had long beco obsolete, but there were still plenty of people who occasionally wanted to spend a few coins for so fun.
As a result, many arcades chose to integrate with malls and beca part of the mall itself.
Before coming to this world, HuMing had actually played on these machines a few tis, though mostly as a cover while carrying out surveillance missions.
However, when he heard Ye QiuXue saying wanting to go to the arcade, HuMing couldn't help but be surprised.
He even wondered if he had heard wrong.
"President, are you sure you didn't an the bookstore but the arcade?"
On the way, HuMing glanced at Ye QiuXue.
In response, Ye QiuXue stuck out her tongue at HuMing, seemingly displeased with the stereotype he had of her.
"What's that supposed to an? I can't go to places like that? I'm not the student council president right now, so I can do whatever I want! Also, stop calling president; call Ye QiuXue, okay?"
Ye QiuXue was unhappy with HuMing still addressing her as president on a day off, making her feel like she was still at school.
Faced with Ye QiuXue's displeasure, HuMing imdiately surrendered!
Only in monts like these, he could see a different side of Ye QiuXue.
Ye QiuXue was too perfect at school, and everyone's impression of her was incredibly high.
But HuMing knew very well that people's excessive expectations only created an invisible pressure.
Ye QiuXue had endured all of this high pressure while also dealing with the pressure of her family.
He couldn't even imagine how she had managed to bear it all these years.
When the two of them arrived at the arcade inside the mall, it was bustling with people. Most of them were young, trying out the experience for the novelty, and there were quite a few couples playing co-op gas together.
As HuMing looked at the scene before him, he felt a sense of nostalgia stir in his heart.
Aside from the lack of a smoky and chaotic atmosphere, these places all seed to feel the sa.
Ye QiuXue's eyes sparkled as she walked straight over to the whack-a-mole ga, then excitedly called out to HuMing.
"HuMing, look! It's whack-a-mole!"
"It's just whack-a-mole, not a slot machine. Why are you so excited?"
"No, no! When I was little, my grandma bought a whack-a-mole toy, but after playing with it for a while, it broke! This is the first ti I've seen such a big machine!"
Ye QiuXue's eyes were brimming with longing as she placed both hands on the machine, her gaze gleaming.
Watching this, HuMing seed to rember sothing. The smile on his face gradually faded, and he quietly watched her.
Even such a simple ga could evoke such excitent from her. It seed that aside from studying, Ye QiuXue really hadn't had any other form of entertainnt over the years.
"HuMing, do we need to insert coins to play this?"
Ye QiuXue pointed at the coin slot, her face full of curiosity.
HuMing nodded and then turned toward the counter.
The girl at the counter had a lollipop in her mouth, her hand on the directional keys as she swayed her body with the rhythm.
When HuMing got closer, he realized that she was playing a racing ga, and the music playing was the latest pop hit.
Noticing soone approaching, the girl quickly pressed ALT F4 to close the ga, then greeted him with a smile.
"Hey handso, how many coins do you need?"
"Fifty."
HuMing took out his phone to scan the QR code just as Ye QiuXue walked up beside him.
She curiously glanced at the price of the ga tokens and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, why is it so expensive? One coin costs a whole dollar?"
Ye QiuXue imdiately felt conflicted. Buying fifty coins would cost fifty dollars? In her mind, fifty dollars could last for a long ti!
With that much money, she'd rather treat HuMing to a al!
But HuMing lightly knocked on her head, and Ye QiuXue let out a startled cry, covering her head in response.
"Today's on . Consider it a thank you for helping study all this ti."
"But."
"It's fine, it's fine. Let's go."
HuMing took the coin box from the girl at the counter, and they returned to the whack-a-mole machine.
Unfortunately, soone else was already playing.
"How about we play sothing else first?"
Ye QiuXue pointed to an arcade machine not far away, where several young people were shaking the joysticks.
They walked over to one of the machines and sat down.
"tal Slug? It looks pretty simple," Ye QiuXue remarked, brimming with enthusiasm.
However, the ga soon delivered a harsh lesson. The small enemies seed easy at first, but the ga's hit detection was unforgiving. A single mistake ant death.
Although each coin gave her two lives, Ye QiuXue's character kept dying repeatedly. In contrast, HuMing hadn't lost a life since his first coin drop.
Most of the coins in the box were spent by Ye QiuXue, and after a while, she stopped inserting them.
Sensing her behavior, HuMing instinctively turned his head and saw Ye QiuXue looking slightly dejected, clearly upset with her performance.
HuMing blinked, still deftly maneuvering his character to dodge bullets, but he eventually let himself get hit by a missile and died.
"Hey, why aren't you putting in any coins? Hurry up and help beat this boss!"
The screen displayed a countdown to continue. If no coins were inserted in the next ten seconds, the ga would end, and all their progress would be lost.
As he spoke, HuMing quickly fed coins into both slots.
Just as Ye QiuXue was about to stop him, HuMing said, "Don't tell you're going to drag down. The Ye QiuXue I know isn't like that. Besides, this ga is only fun when played with two people!"
With the ga restarting, Ye QiuXue's determination reignited. Her slender fingers danced rapidly across the controls.
By now, a small crowd had gathered, watching the two of them play.
HuMing focused on the large screen and continued to dodge bullets, drawing gasps of awe from the onlookers.
When they reached the final stage's boss, HuMing's character nearly got hit by a bullet, but Ye QiuXue's character jumped in front of him just in ti, shielding him from death.
HuMing's character threw its last grenade, finally taking down the boss!
"Yay!"
Sweat covered Ye QiuXue's forehead, but the sight of the victory screen made her feel more exhilarated than she ever had before.
She turned to HuMing, her face full with excitent, and HuMing smiled back at her.
"Co on, high five!"
Their hands, large and small, slapped together in a satisfying clap. For the first ti, Ye QiuXue felt this kind of pure joy.
