Cheating

"Fine, fine, you've forced me to use my ultimate move."

Li Yan glanced at the stool where Aura was sitting with a cold smile. He would stop at nothing to win; this was his martial way.

The Tier 3 Priest Heiter is indeed no match for the Tier 0 Schlacht. In a two-on-one situation, Li Yan's Heiter's Priest bar instantly dropped to one bar. If he gets hit again, he will be completely dead.

"Watch this, the off-field jinchūriki!"

Li Yan pulled out the stool that Aura was sitting on, and Aura, who was controlling the character to burst into laughter, suddenly sat down on the ground. Li Yan then started to use basic attacks, and while Schlacht, Li Yan instantly used a triple attack.

"Holy crap, you cheated, meow!"

Aura frantically tried to use a basic attack again, but Li Yan's combo rendered her immobile. Aura tried to overturn Li Yan's chair, but Li Yan's physique was far superior to Aura's. Finally, with a powerful ultimate move from Heiter, Schlacht was completely defeated.

"You lost, Aura."

Li Yan's lips curled up slightly. How lonely it is to be invincible. As a strong person, he found it rather boring to bully the weak.

"That doesn't count, you cheated, meow."

Aura was so angry that her teeth itched, and her finger trembled with anger as she pointed in Li Yan's direction.

"If you're bad at the game, practice more; if you can't handle losing, don't play."

Li Yan raised an eyebrow in Aura's direction. They knew there were no rules governing their match, and no reason why they couldn't use cheats outside the game.

"Hmph, I'm not playing this game with you anymore, meow."

Aura angrily walked towards the racing simulator, a device that simulates real racing scenarios, allowing players to experience the thrill of driving a race car.

As a few game coins fell in, Aura activated racing mode. The thrilling speed and interesting maps excited Aura, and a smile of enjoyment appeared on her face.

After playing the racing game, Aura set her sights on the dance machine on the side. This is a rhythmic and energetic entertainment facility where players move to the rhythm of the music. Aura was clearly interested in the combination of music and dance, so she immediately inserted a coin and joined in.

But clearly, she overestimated herself. After several mistakes, Aura jumped off the dance machine in frustration. Aura eyes lit up when she saw some children playing with a claw machine in the distance. How could she miss such a technologically advanced gadget?

The claw machine works by controlling a mechanical claw to grab plush toys. Successful players can win cute dolls as prizes. Some children put in several coins but failed to grab a doll. This made Aura, who was learning from the experience, feel a desire. There were quite a few cute dolls in the claw machine, and a few of them were quite to her liking. It would be nice to grab them and hug them to sleep.

Because the children couldn't get the dolls they wanted, they had to give up on the dolls in the claw machine and turn to play other games. Taking advantage of this, Aura monopolized the claw machine, as she didn't really like the dolls in the other claw machines.

As game coins were inserted, Li Yan curiously stood next to Aura and watched her operate the Aura. Aura aimed at one of the green crocodile plushies and pressed the capture button, but unfortunately, the moment she lifted the crocodile plushie, her claws weakened and the plushie fell to the ground.

"Damn it! How could this happen? This claw's grip is so weak, meow."

Aura stared wide-eyed at the claw in the claw machine, her face contorted with rage. She wanted to smash the damn claw to pieces; it couldn't even grab the toys she aimed at properly—it was utterly useless.

"Don't rush, take your time."

Looking at the familiar claw strength, Li Yan had already thought of the corresponding method, which was the rotating claw technique. As long as the angle was right, using the Pythagorean theorem, Lu Xun's third theorem, the AWM sniper perspective, and the principle that the shortest distance between three points is a straight line, this doll could be grabbed easily.

Seeing Aura's repeated failures and her face filled with anger, Li Yan chuckled and patted her fluffy hair, officially taking over Aura's position at the claw machine. "Don't be impatient. Bullying my cat is simply courting death."

As Li Yan found the right angle, his claws rotated continuously. At the opportune moment, Li Yan suddenly activated his Foresee the Future. In countless Future Sight, the corners of Li Yan's mouth turned up slightly. He had already seen the future where he would grab the crocodile toy.

As the claw descended, it grabbed the crocodile plush toy, specifically its leg. The combined force of the claw lifted the toy, sending it plummeting into the exit gate.

"Wow, that's amazing, Li Yan. I acknowledge you now."

Aura's eyes widened, his face filled with surprise.

"No problem."

Li Yan raised an eyebrow, took out the crocodile plush toy, and handed it to Aura. Aura smiled as she received the toy.

"Let's go play the basketball machine, it's been so long since I played basketball."

Li Yan looked towards the area where the children were gathered, shooting basketballs. It was a basketball machine area where players could challenge their shooting skills and score points.

"Shoot that basketball? It's easy."

Aura also became somewhat interested and walked towards the basketball machine while carrying the crocodile plushie.

"Then let's see if we can surpass the first place."

Li Yan looked at the rankings on the basketball machine. The first place had 9213 points. There were 10 levels in total, with one minute allotted for each level. A basketball was worth 10 points, a swivel was worth 30 points, moving the basket was worth 50 points, and moving the swivel basket was worth 100 points.

"Hmph, it has to surpass that."

Aura nodded confidently, and Li Yan stepped forward to hug the basketball. The two began their second game, in which they became number one on the leaderboard.

With the coins inserted, Li Yan skillfully held the basketball and began shooting. The first shot was a clean swish, falling directly into the basket, adding 30 points to his tally.

"Don't underestimate me, meow."

Aura looked at the basketball machine with disdain, then threw the basketball directly. The basketball landed squarely in the center, clearly showing that Aura had an exceptional skill level in shooting.

The two's competition quickly attracted the attention of other children who were also shooting hoops. As they passed the fourth and fifth rounds simultaneously, their scores were very close, prompting the children to exclaim, "They're so good! They've both scored three thousand points!"

With the appearance of the moving basketball hoop, the score began to rise sharply again. As the seventh and eighth levels were passed, the score was about to surpass the first place on the leaderboard. All the children were stunned and dared not speak. Experts were rare, but they did not expect to see two of them.

In level 9, Li Yan's score has reached 9888, not far from 10,000, while Aura is far behind with only 8877.

The tenth level consists entirely of moving basketball hoops, and not in a simple left-right motion, but rather in instantaneous, unpredictable movements. Making a shot is purely a matter of luck.

Li Yan was confident in his ability to Foresee the Future as he moved the basketballs around as if they were going home. The children dared not even blink.

Three balls in a second, all swishes, the score was increasing at an exaggerated rate. Aura stopped playing, staring at Li Yan's score. She had already surpassed the leaderboard leader, but at the moment, it seemed she had no chance of winning.

As the score reached 15,000, it went up to 20,000, then 25,000, and finally, with the last second of time stopping, the score jumped to 30,000.

"No way!"

"Scored 20,000 points in one level!"

"Monster!"
