So Pure, So Flirtatious

The game dealer had seized this psychological strategy, placing the red card in the most conspicuous place, but it was the most impossible place. Isn’t there a saying? The most dangerous place is the safest place!

At this moment, Lin Zhiyun finally made up her mind. She wanted to use the hook to catch the bag from the second row.

“Wait.” Yang Ming stopped her.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Zhiyun stopped and asked.

“Let’s catch a simple one. That is too far away. I’m afraid you won’t be able to hook it, and then it will fall off. It might just waste a chance.” Yang Ming said.

” Ah ? Which one should I catch?” asked Lin Zhiyun.

“This one!” Yang Ming pointed to the bag in front facing the two of them.

“This… Do you think there is a card in this?…” Lin Zhiyun shook her head with some disbelief. “That will be a waste of an opportunity…”

“Good girl, listen to me.” Yang Ming said.

” Oh …” Lin Zhiyun heard Yang Ming’s tone which sounded like a couple. She suddenly was dazed as she picked up the hook and caught the bag that Yang Ming pointed out.

She grabbed the bag in her hand and opened it. Lin Zhiyun couldn’t help but exclaim, “Yay! We got the prize! Yang Ming, we caught it!”

“Yes, just as I said. You should listen to me. Look. You didn’t go wrong listening to me, right?” Yang Ming smiled.

” En …” Lin Zhiyun nodded and happily handed the red card to the staff.

The staff member didn’t expect someone to get a big prize shortly after they just opened their business in the morning. All the money they had earned wasn’t enough to cover it. But, they had no other way to go about it. Credibility came first to them. There were still a few days left for the temple fair. If the promise wasn’t fulfilled on the first day, then the business would be done for after that! Moreover, this temple fair was personally supervised by the Consumers Association. The boss didn’t dare to act rashly.

He handed the super big bear to Lin Zhiyun and said a few words of blessing. Then, the boss changed the grand prize. It was a big toy, too.

Lin Zhiyun was very happy as she took the prize. She left the game booth with Yang Ming.

“Yes, Yang Ming, how did you know that there was a red card in the bag?” Amid her happiness, Lin Zhiyun asked in bafflement.

“I didn’t know.” Yang Ming naturally wouldn’t expose the matter that he had a special ability. Lin Zhiyun and he hadn’t reached the same level as Xiao Qing yet. Hence, he couldn’t just simply say it out. “But, I guessed it would be a high probability!”

“How did you guess it?” Lin Zhiyun asked curiously. “Why couldn’t I guess it?”

” Hehe , it’s actually simple.” Yang Ming said with a smile. “I’ve observed a lot of people’s habit of playing this game. They always looked at the second row of bags. They tended to ignore the first row straight away.

“So, I used reverse psychology here. I was thinking, if I was the boss, what would I do? The customers would lay their eyes on the second row, so then I would put the red card in the first row!

“In the first row, the most unlikely position would be the bag that is facing the customers! Since it was so obvious, everyone would see it at first sight, but it was also the first one to be excluded.

“Most people didn’t think that the bag in front of them contained a red card, so the most dangerous place was often the safest place. The boss was using this reverse psychology. I was just applying reverse psychology again on the boss’s strategy!”

” Ah ?” Lin Zhiyun was full of surprise and admiration after hearing that. “Yang Ming, you’re amazing! You can even think of that!”

” Hehe , it was my impromptu thoughts.” Yang Ming said, “I noticed you were so distressed over the ten coins. A sudden inspiration came to me!”

“Nonsense!” Lin Zhiyun shook her head helplessly.

The two of them continued to move forward. Although there were some mini-games to play on the roadside, because the price was cheap, there were a lot of people waiting in line. So, the two of them didn’t wait.

These mini-games didn’t matter much. There wasn’t much fun to it and the prizes weren’t ample enough.

” Ya , is that rock climbing?” Lin Zhiyun pointed to an artificial rock wall not far away and asked, “I saw it on TV. It was said to be a very special game project launched this year.”

” En , I have seen the introduction. This thing is very popular in the southern cities. We just got it here recently.” Yang Ming nodded. “Let’s go and take a look!”

“Okay!” Lin Zhiyun said. She was also curious about this novelty that she had never seen before.

Along the crowd, Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun came to a big air cushion. In front of the air cushion was a very steep stone wall that was almost ninety degrees from the ground.

The rock climbing trend originated in Europe in the eighteenth century and became an independent sport in 1970.

Free climbing means not relying on any external assistance, and only relying on the climber’s own strength to complete the climbing process. Free climbing requires people to carry out thrilling movements such as turning, pulling-up, tossing and even jumping on the rock climbing wall of various heights and angles. It is a thrilling and beautiful extreme sport. It is known by the world’s rock climbing fans as “Ballet on the Cliff.”

Although rock climbing has gradually become a popular outdoor extreme sport in recent years, more and more people have experienced unique pleasures from rock climbing. The requirements for physical fitness, courage, body coordination and flexibility in free climbing are extremely high. It is undoubtedly dangerous for beginners who have not undergone systematic professional training.

However, rock climbing here wasn’t so dangerous because the stone walls were artificially made, so there were no sharp edges on the top. Moreover, people who play games would wear special climbing gloves and clothing so that they wouldn’t hurt their bodies. Even if they fell from above, there was an air cushion to support them.

In this way, the risk factor was reduced to a minimum. But even then, there would be accidents. If a person fell down headfirst, the person might be injured.

Therefore, those who participated in this game must sign an agreement separately. They couldn’t participate directly in the game through coins, but rather, they were required to purchase tickets and insurance separately.

However, people who climbed to the highest point would be rewarded highly with the prize. It was a pair of cartoon Taurus necklace pendants made of pure gold. This year was the Year of the Ox [1]. Also, it was obviously a couple’s accessories which made it very popular.

Since rock climbing was a new game in Song Jiang, the boss wasn’t trying to make money. He just wanted to make it famous, so he had spent gold to create several sets of pendants, which would be awarded to those who could climb to the highest point.

However, the boss overestimated those who hadn’t played these projects. From the morning to the present, there were very few people who could climb up to half the height.

But even then, many people were still eager to try. They did it for nothing else but just to show off in front of their girlfriends. If they could get the prize on their own, and then present it to their girlfriends, it would be something they could be proud of!

The advertising words in the TV commercials were especially provocative. Are you really a man? Are you brave? This game is for the brave. The winner will get the grand prize, and personally give it to his girlfriend … and other words that stirred up emotions.

Therefore, after many couples came here, the man would take the initiative to try for it. Even if he failed, there was nothing to be embarrassed about, since everyone was on par with each other. But if he emerged victoriously, then they could shine!

Everyone was holding this kind of thought. Rock climbing was unusually hot.

Lin Zhiyun naturally also watched this TV commercial. Seeing other couples, the man had taken the initiative to win the prize for his woman. She couldn’t help but look forward to it deep down in her heart.

But Lin Zhiyun also knew that this game was dangerous. She also didn’t want to have Yang Ming take the risk for her.

It was a glorious thing to get the grand prize for his girlfriend. There were always people who failed in the front. There were new people rushing from the back. Looking at the women who cheered for the men on top, Yang Ming laughed at Lin Zhiyun and asked, “Do you want the little Taurus?”

” Ah …” Lin Zhiyun was caught by surprise before she said, “You mean… you want to participate, too?”

” Ya , what do you think? If you want it, I will get it for you.” Yang Ming said.

After Yang Ming said it, many people next to him directly took it as a joke. It was because many people also said this to their girlfriends before, and their results ended in failure.

This rock climbing seemed to be quite simple, but it wasn’t easy to do it! However, that was only for ordinary people. For Yang Ming, this was simply too easy!

Not to mention that there were so many safety precautions. There was also a handcuffed position on the rock climbing wall. When Yang Ming was at school, he didn’t use anything and climbed up to Chen Mengyan’s dormitory with just his bare hands!
