A dull thud echoed, drawing everyone's gaze to the wooden board.
There, the tip of a nail was just visible. The stall owner was completely bewildered. How could this be? It shouldn't be like this!
Could it be... that he had misaimed the nail just now?
Recalling the scene, the stall owner's thoughts raced, and the more he thought, the more likely it seemed!
Bang!!
While the stall owner was lost in thought, before he could ponder further, another dull thud sounded. He saw a second nail head appear on the wooden board. "What!"
"It hit again!!"
The stall owner's eyes widened, and a sense of dread washed over him. The surrounding tourists' eyes lit up. Wow, this guy is a master.
If the first one was luck, then the second one spoke volumes.
Luo Tianyi blinked, clearly surprised by how skilled the man was at hammering nails. Anyone would think he was a seasoned veteran of the carpentry trade.
Bang!!
And then, just like that...
The third one!
The fourth one!
The fifth one!!
Soon, all seven nails were driven in perfectly, executed in one fluid motion without the slightest pause. The stall owner was utterly stunned.
Oh my god!
Seven consecutive hits, this maneuver... it's ruinous! If this guy kept going, he'd lose more than just his pants.
Leave some room for others, and you might meet again!
The stall owner was truly terrified, petrified.
Seven straight hits, the stall owner's expression was like a chrysanthemum that had bloomed seven times, utterly devoid of life.
"Whoa, seven consecutive hits!"
"One hundred yuan for the first, two hundred for the second, four hundred for the third. So seven hits would be... 6400 yuan!"
"Holy cow, in less than two minutes, that's more than my monthly salary, damn it!!"
"Tsk tsk, if this guy goes for an eighth try, won't it exceed ten thousand, reaching 12800 yuan directly!"
"Hey, not only that, the ninth try would be 25600, the tenth 51200, and the eleventh 102400..."
Listening to the surrounding tourists, the stall owner's lips twitched, and his face instantly turned pale. Damn it, eleven tries and it's over a hundred thousand! This is at least half a year's, or even more than a year's, income! Mother of pearl!
He can't keep going!
He absolutely cannot let this guy keep hammering!
Taking a deep breath, the stall owner forced a smile, more like a grimace. "Sir, seven consecutive hits total 6400 yuan. I... I'll get the money for you now."
As he spoke, the stall owner began to rummage for his meager savings. He had lost so much, lost to the ends of the earth. *Sob sob sob...*
"Heh, no need."
Seeing the stall owner's miserable state, Ye Xuan smiled slightly. "It's not easy for anyone to set up a stall. Consider this 6400 yuan as my payment for the next 640 tourists."
The surrounding tourists: "Uh..."
"Ah, handsome guy, you... Thank you! Thank you!!"
The stall owner was completely won over by Ye Xuan's actions. If he were a woman, he felt he would have kissed him on the spot. Mother, this guy is a lifesaver!
Seeing the stall owner's grateful expression, Luo Tianyi smiled. This guy wasn't so bad after all. Even if he had taken that money, no one would have said anything.
"Heh, thank you, handsome guy."
"It's rare to find someone so capable and kind these days."
"Wow, this handsome guy is not only good-looking but also so kind. I'm in love!"
"Handsome guy, do you need a pendant? Take me with you, *ying ying ying*~~~"
The surrounding tourists chattered their thanks, and among them were many admiring girls. Looking at the nails on the wooden board, *mother dear*, this handsome guy has so much strength and is so accurate. Being with him must be incredibly blissful. *Mwah mwah*...
Hearing this, the stall owner breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, then for the next 640 challenges, I won't charge any money!"
Not only that, but the stall owner dared not try to trick people anymore. At the very least, he would increase the frequency of his special steel nails. He would earn less himself; he was truly scared by Ye Xuan's performance.
"Ding! Host consumed 6400 yuan."
He wasn't a fool. One song earned him 30 hectares of land in a prime location, plus 2 points of physique. This was an incredibly worthwhile deal!
Swish~
As the voice fell, all eyes turned towards him, including Luo Tianyi and Aunt Shen. Even the three little ones blinked their eyes and waved their tiny arms and legs, as if they knew their dad was about to show off, or rather, sing.
"Wow, what a handsome guy!!"
Even Su Xiaomo on stage's eyes lit up. That guy was so handsome. Su Xiaomo's classmates also had stars in their eyes. *Mother dear*, seeing this handsome brother made all the young idols they chased seem bland.
