Chapitre 444: Fruit Ninja
"Hanmei, Yinjiang, today we're not studying academics. I have something very special to study today."
At Aizi's house, after dinner with her two best friends, the three of them ran to the bedroom on the second floor to prepare for a study session.
Usually, Aizi would teach the other two, as she had the best academic performance among them.
But today, she decided to break the norm and not hold a study session.
Hanmei was very happy because she had been hating studying lately, thinking every day about having an exciting love affair with a boy.
Yinjiang, known as the easygoing one, didn't mind either way.
Curiously, Hanmei asked, "What's the special thing?"
Aizi took out the handheld console confiscated from Tian Chong and showed it to the two.
"Do you know what this is?"
"Isn't this the game console those stupid boys love the most? How come you have one?"
"I confiscated it from a male classmate in a cram school. He doesn't study well every day, and his mom begged me to teach him more. If it weren't for our good relationship when we were kids, I wouldn't bother with him."
"Oh, you mean Tian Chong, right? He's a huge gaming enthusiast."
Tian Chong was somewhat famous at school.
Because he once won a million yen in a amateur gaming competition, he became quite famous among the students. Later, his passion for gaming became well-known throughout the school.
As Aizi's close friends, the two immediately thought of the boy they had seen before.
"But why bring this thing out?"
"Because I made a bet with that guy. If I win, he promises to do anything I ask, so he should study honestly, and I won't have to bother with him anymore. So, no matter what, I have to win."
"What if you lose?"
"Then I'll have to agree to anything he asks."
Hanmei and Yinjiang glanced at each other.
"Why do I suddenly feel like not helping you? It seems more fun this way."
Their eyes sparkled with gossip.
"You two, help me quickly! Otherwise, my family won't welcome you two anymore! You'll never get to eat my mom's delicious food again."
The motivation of delicious food seemed to slightly surpass their gossip, so after thinking seriously for a moment, they nodded.
"What's the specific bet?"
"That guy Tian Chong has to complete the study tasks I assigned him, and I'll test him. Meanwhile, I have to achieve a certain score in a game before he finishes his tasks. By the way, have either of you studied electronic games before?"
Hanmei raised her hand. "I actually have, because a boy I have a crush on loves playing video games, so I want to learn how to play too, so we can have a topic to talk about."
"Oh? Hanmei, have you found a new love?" Yinjiang teased.
"So what if I did?" Hanmei retorted unkindly.
Aizi interrupted them, then said, "Let's not discuss who Hanmei likes now. Since Hanmei knows how to play electronic games, teach me quickly how to achieve the score in that game. The sooner, the better!"
"Did that guy Tian Chong say what game it is?" Hanmei took the handheld console and asked while playing with it.
It was a brand new game console, and she wasn't very familiar with it. She had only tried playing GBA a few times at the neighbor's house.
She quite liked a few casual games on GBA, especially the dress-up games.
But these types of games usually didn't hold her attention for long. They were just a temporary interest.
Aizi thought carefully and then said, "It seems to be something about ninjas."
"Found it, it's called Fruit Ninja. Huh? What a strange name. Why is it called Fruit Ninja?"
Although she hadn't experienced the GSL handheld console, the purpose of electronic products was to make them easier to use. Hanmei, who had experience playing handheld games, quickly became familiar with the operation.
This game, Fruit Ninja, and several other casual games were all thrown into a subfolder by Tian Chong, and Hanmei had to search a bit to find this game.
At the same time, what caught Hanmei's attention was several cute icons in the casual games folder.
The Angry Birds icon depicted a chubby red bird, looking very squishy.
There was also a crocodile who loved to bathe, reminding Hanmei of the crocodile plushie at home. It looked very similar, but it was cute instead of fierce.
Then there were several other casual games like Cut the Rope.
Each icon alone captured Hanmei's attention.
She hadn't heard of these games before. Could they be new games released on this new console?
Hmm, maybe she could try them out later?
But for now, let's enter Fruit Ninja.
Hanmei skillfully entered the main interface of Fruit Ninja, where there were only a few very simple icons.
The most prominent three icons were multiplayer mode, single-player mode, and the world leaderboard.
At this point, Yinjiang and Aizi also leaned over, their faces full of curiosity.
"Um, it looks like it's not a game about fighting. The art style isn't so brutal. Could Fruit Ninja mean the characters are fruit-shaped ninjas?"
Hanmei shook her head. "It doesn't seem like it. Look at these icons, they're all different kinds of fruit. I just don't know how to play. I pressed a button, but there was no response."
She tried randomly pressing the buttons on the console based on her memory of playing games before, but there was no response from the game interface.
But then, a cartoonish old man appeared on the screen.
"Ninja apprentice, welcome to the Fruit Ninja Academy. Here, you will challenge yourself continuously to become a Fruit Ninja Master. Please swipe the screen now to slice the fruits in the middle."
"Huh? What does swipe the screen mean?" Hanmei was somewhat puzzled.
This was different from any game she had played before.
At this moment, Yinjiang had a clever idea. She reached out her finger to touch the screen while saying, "Could it be like this, swiping the screen?"
Hanmei instinctively said, "That's impossible, there's no... "
Click!
A crisp sound of slicing fruit rang out, followed by a splatter of fruit juice spraying on the background wall of the screen, which was very impactful.
Hanmei opened her mouth wide. "It really is swiping the screen? What kind of game is this?"
