Chapter 179: Knocked Down a Whole Row
After Mo Bolun walked away, the owner quickly reached into his pocket, pulled out a small gadget, pressed it lightly, and then quickly hid it again.
Mo Bolun picked up the little white dog with one hand, then looked at it and it seemed there was nothing unusual. It fell off with a slight touch. Why didn’t it budge at all when I used so much force just now?
"Isn’t there something fishy about this? Why can’t I knock it down even with all my effort?"
Mo Bolun said, a bit frustrated.
"Young man, you need to look carefully. There’s nothing on it, and others have knocked it off before. It’s your problem, don’t slander me, or I’ll sue you."
The owner was evidently annoyed too. Why did this young guy out of so many people have to cause trouble?
"You..."
Mo Bolun suddenly found himself at a loss for words. He had looked earlier and indeed found nothing wrong. But he definitely hit it just now.
Thinking about this, Mo Bolun walked back dejectedly.
"Dear, let me try." His girlfriend, seeing Mo Bolun fail and embarrass himself, felt a bit ashamed as well.
Mo Bolun nodded. He was out to please his girlfriend today, and later that night, he’d let her have her way. So he tried to fulfill her requests as much as possible.
The woman grabbed a sandbag ball, squinted to aim, and then threw it with all her might. With a thud, she missed the little white dog, but knocked down the little black cat beside it.
"Oh yeah, I hit it... Too bad I didn’t get the little white dog!" the woman exclaimed excitedly.
"Huh?"
Seeing his girlfriend easily knock down a plush toy, Mo Bolun’s face burned red, feeling humiliated.
"Again!"
Mo Bolun was out to vent his frustration, and now even a plush toy was getting on his nerves. How could he not be angry?
The owner was startled but immediately reacted, smiling as he said, "Sure, you must have missed earlier. Look at your friend, she tossed one right away, very accurate."
Mo Bolun shot the owner a glare but didn’t say anything further. He was determined to knock down the little white dog to give to his girlfriend.
Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing.
Mo Bolun took a deep breath, gathered all his strength in his hand, and threw the ball with full force.
This time, with much more force than before, with a "bang," the ball hit the little white dog directly, but the dog seemed to bend backward as if nodding, and after the ball flew past, it rebounded to its original position.
"Damn, this is obviously cheating. How can it stay on with such a hit? It must be tied down. I don’t believe this, I’m going to check."
Mo Bolun didn’t believe in such tricks today, and he walked over briskly and grabbed it.
"Huh?"
He was immediately stunned; there was nothing there. It was just that the backside of the plush toy was slightly weighted. It was designed to sit stably, nothing really special.
"What’s going on? Am I really jinxed today?"
Mo Bolun couldn’t believe it. A martial arts practitioner like him couldn’t even manage to knock down a plush toy, and his girlfriend beside him was getting a bit annoyed, making him anxious.
"Hey, kid, don’t deliberately mess with me, alright? I’m just running a small business. Why do you have to give me a hard time? You cool kids, if you don’t want to play, just leave, but don’t hinder my business. You know, I have to pay for this stall."
The owner was anxious too. This kid was too unreasonable. You say you can’t play? Just leave it, for ten bucks, what’s it costing you?
"Boss, let me try."
Chen Tianlong had pretty much figured out the owner’s little trick, so he decided to teach him a lesson. Plus, seeing the expectant look in Lu Xiaoyu’s eyes, Chen Tianlong wanted to win it for her.
Mo Bolun was stunned for a moment. Isn’t this Chen Tianlong? Why is he here too? He quickly glanced at the two people beside him, then suddenly realized.
Chen Tianlong was probably like him, out with a girl for a stroll, and planning something for later in the evening. But this guy was too bold, bringing two girls along.
"Oh? This young man also wants to try? Sure, you’re welcome." The owner was naturally delighted, thinking he had another sucker on his hands. "Here, take these five balls, ten bucks total!"
Chen Tianlong smiled slightly, not immediately taking the balls the owner offered, and said casually, "I do want to see why this little white dog is so hard to knock down."
The owner was slightly stunned but didn’t stop him from looking. After all, once is a look, twice is still a look.
They wouldn’t figure it out anyhow. Underneath the platform, there was a magnet tucked into a custom-made compartment and sealed. The whole row was uniformly elevated, making it impossible for them to detect any trickery.
As usual, the owner pressed the remote lightly as Chen Tianlong walked over, making the magnet lose its magnetism, so Chen Tianlong easily picked it up.
"Wow, it was indeed easy to pick up. Was that guy just now starving or something?" Chen Tianlong mocked deliberately.
"Damn it, are you swearing at me indirectly? Why don’t you dare speak directly? It’s not manly to backstab like this." Mo Bolun was having a particularly bad day and now being mocked by Chen Tianlong, had a killing urge.
"Clearly you’re useless yourself and blame the toy for having issues, does this count as a man?" Chen Tianlong laughed coldly, teasingly.
"Hmph, if you’ve got the skills, throw one for me to see."
Mo Bolun had already clashed with Chen Tianlong. Though Chen Tianlong was formidable, the Mo Family wasn’t a pushover either. This was Nanhai City; he didn’t believe Chen Tianlong would dare do anything to him here.
"I didn’t need you to say it. Wasn’t I about to throw? Step aside, don’t block my way, watch me knock down this entire row of toys."
As Chen Tianlong waved his hand, though it seemed like he was taunting by pointing at the entire row, he had already used force to disable the activation device on top.
Now, without the magnet activating, the remote control in the owner’s pocket was useless, and these toys would fall with a simple toss from Chen Tianlong.
Yet, the owner wasn’t aware that his high-tech super magnet had been rendered ineffective by Chen Tianlong.
At that moment, the owner was secretly laughing at Chen Tianlong, believing he was just a big-talker.
But suddenly, there was a buzz around, and the owner snapped out of his complacency, looking at everyone’s shocked expressions, he was a bit confused and quickly looked at his stall.
"Huh?"
The owner was instantly dumbfounded. This scene was truly unbelievable; his entire row of five plush toys was all lying on the ground.
"This... How is this possible? It’s unscientific!" After a long pause, the owner finally caught his breath, speaking with a bit of a stutter.
"Oh? Then what should be considered scientific?" Chen Tianlong asked calmly.
"Uh? I mean... This young man, you threw with such precision, it truly defies science, haha... unscientific."
The owner realized his slip of the tongue and immediately corrected himself.
