The man was, apparently, confident of his result. He did a rough mental calculation and reckoned that he had punctured about 30 balloons, which was better than his previous record!
There should be no problems this time!
As the staff tallied the points, he looked at where Yichen was. The kid was eyeing the toy panda on the display shelf with his hands on his rear. The board, which was initially filled with balloons, was now surprisingly barren; none remained hanging off the board.
This… What's going on?
Did he pop all the balloons?
How's that possible?
The two staff members added up the last of their points and stepped forward to announce the results to the crowd.
"We will now announce the results! This gentleman here popped 35 balloons for a score of 400 points!"
Upon hearing his result, the man's fist punched the air as he judged that victory was in the bag!
