Turns out it was a balloon-shooting game, with plush toys as prizes. The ultimate reward was a massive two-meter-tall stuffed bear.
The owner, trying to draw a crowd, divided the balloons into two sections. Two people could compete at the same time; whoever burst all the balloons in the shortest time would win the round's prize. If someone won ten consecutive rounds, they'd get the giant bear.
The contestants were mostly young men, eager to impress their girlfriends and going all out.
Unfortunately, these young folks were too hooked on online games and lacked exercise. Their physical strength left much to be desired, and their arm strength was downright abysmal.
Over two hours after opening, the owner still hadn't seen anyone succeed in claiming the giant bear.
Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes were glued to that giant bear, practically drooling.
She rubbed her palms together, visibly itching to give it a try.
"Boss." Zhang Xiaoyu raised her hand and walked over. "I want to join."
