What do you mean I'm a ghost story?

Chapter 11 has no idioms.
"Are we still playing today?"

The bald middle-aged man stared at Xia Qing and raised an eyebrow provocatively.

Actually, judging from his conversation with the fat man in the floral shirt, it was clear that he came here today specifically to avenge yesterday's defeat.

"Play, of course I'll play. I've been wanting to settle that two hundred yuan debt with you since yesterday."

Xia Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, but quickly smiled brightly again.

They actually dared to come here today, and even took the initiative to provoke us. Considering what these two said before, there is obviously something fishy going on.

However, given his current mastery of the Money Dart Technique, he naturally has nothing to fear.

Rather, the bald boss's provocation suited him perfectly.

He finds it hard to justify actively sweeping up stalls belonging to unrelated people for his own benefit, as it's harmful to others.

But if someone invites you out on their own initiative, that's a different story.

Especially that bald head.

He hadn't forgotten that he'd been fined two hundred yuan by the park yesterday.

It was just a matter of selling some extra dolls on the side, taking less than twenty minutes. It was nothing to mention if it wasn't weighed, and nobody bothered with it.

The fact that they were so quickly and specifically targeted to be fined clearly indicates that someone reported them to the authorities.

And the whistleblower is undoubtedly this bald boss.

After all, he hadn't offended anyone else, and this matter couldn't be described as anything particularly egregious enough to incite public outrage. Only this person could have done it with a specific purpose.

Although the loss of two hundred yuan was due to the use of the "Money Dart" technique to spend money on in-game purchases, there are many ways to lose money.

The fine for reporting is a fine for reporting.

Even though it just so happened that the financial loss occurred, one thing is one thing, and ultimately it all stemmed from the bald man's malicious intent.

"Oh? Then you'd better be careful. If you do it a second time, the fine will be more than two hundred."

When the bald man heard Xia Qing's words, he didn't try to hide or defend himself at all. Instead, he deliberately pointed it out in a sarcastic tone.

What I want is to vent my anger!

"No need for you to worry about that. Same as always, just give me a hundred."

Xia Qing showed no anger whatsoever; instead, she smiled.

After all, compared to nightmares, being bald is just a slightly annoying daily occurrence, which can be considered a rare moment of leisure.

"A maximum of twenty at a time."

The bald boss was clearly reminded of yesterday's bad memories by Xia Qing's words. His face turned pale, and he said, "And since the prize has changed, the rings will naturally go up in price. Twenty yuan each, twenty rings for four hundred."

"Wow, four hundred for just a few rings?"

"It's so expensive, are you robbing me?"

Upon hearing the price quoted by the bald boss, Xia Qing hadn't even spoken when the others who had stopped to listen gasped in shock.

Most of these people are elderly. Four hundred yuan is already a huge amount of money, let alone just buying a few plastic rings to play with.

"What's so expensive about them? Look closely, these are all genuine free-range geese. The meat alone costs 30 to 40 yuan per kilogram, and each goose weighs 5 to 6 kilograms. I can easily sell them for 100 to 200 yuan."

The bald boss picked up a goose by the neck and began to argue.

After a thorough calculation, the crowd actually began to believe it.

A goose costs 200 yuan or more, and you can catch it with a ring that costs only 20 yuan. At first glance, it seems quite fair.

It even gives people the illusion that they can make a killing by picking up a bargain.

"What? You're broke? You almost couldn't even come up with two hundred yuan yesterday, and I heard you got fined for setting up an unauthorized mobile stall?"

Having gained everyone's approval, the bald boss looked at Xia Qing and began to be sarcastic.

"I really didn't have any money to begin with. To be honest, I almost didn't even have money for food yesterday."

Xia Qing smiled slightly upon hearing this: "But it's all thanks to you, boss. In the end, I managed to earn more than a thousand."

After saying that, he readily scanned the code to pay.

The bald boss's face turned even paler upon hearing Xia Qing's words.

However, his purpose in pressuring Xia Qing to pay was precisely that, and now he had achieved his goal. After receiving the money, he immediately counted twenty rings and handed them to Xia Qing.

"Hmm, that's about enough."

Xia Qing slung the hoop over her left hand and looked at the stall. There were actually only about twenty geese.

"Handsome, you'd better not be careless. I don't think these geese are easy to catch. Some unscrupulous vendors train them to dodge hoops."

The short-haired girl who initially wanted to play the ring toss game had wanted to dissuade Xia Qing from the start, but after hearing him say that he had earned more than a thousand yuan yesterday, she swallowed her words of dissuasion, and her eyes lit up slightly.

However, in the end, she couldn't help but speak up and offer a reminder.

"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation!"

Before the bald boss could even react to what the short-haired girl said, the fat man in the floral shirt got angry first.

"So that's what they were up to."

"I always said, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Who would do a business that's guaranteed to lose money?"

"Sure enough, all these stalls on the street are scams."

Seeing this unwitting confession, the onlookers immediately realized what was going on.

Twenty yuan for a ring is indeed not expensive.

But you have to apply it correctly first.

These twenty rings cost four hundred yuan. Not to mention that the geese will dodge them, even throwing them normally wouldn't be an easy task to hit a living creature by the neck.

Static targets and moving targets are not even in the same level of difficulty.

If these geese were also trained to use conditioned reflexes to avoid traps, ordinary people would have even less chance of catching them easily.

"Hehe, don't panic. I recognize this young man. He was a crack shot yesterday and emptied the stall of that unscrupulous bald Wu Qing."

A few passersby from yesterday did recognize Xia Qing, and they all looked on with expressions of anticipation and expectation.

Regardless of whether they win or lose, there will always be a good show to watch.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, but thank you for reminding me anyway."

As the center of everyone's discussion, Xia Qing wasn't too surprised, and simply smiled and thanked them.

At the same time, he slightly turned his body to the side, thus blocking the fat man who was about to lash out for the short-haired girl.

With Xia Qing stopping him and seeing the surrounding crowd pointing fingers at him, the fat man gave up.

Are you going to use a condom or not?

The bald boss glared and held the fort.

"Then you better watch out."

Xia Qing smiled slightly, said nothing, and casually tossed a plastic ring out.

The plastic ring fell right onto the head of a goose.

It must be said that these "reinforcements" invited by the bald giant were indeed quite capable.

Surprisingly, he instinctively shrank his neck the instant the plastic ring was about to hit him.

Animals are naturally fast and have quick reflexes, let alone something as light as a plastic ring.

If you train them to dodge instinctively, they can dodge with ease.

The first attempt was already doomed to fail.

But just then, another plastic ring suddenly appeared and arrived first.

The second plastic ring was easily slipped around the goose's neck just as it ducked away.

More importantly, the plastic ring collided with the first ring that had missed its target during its flight, causing that ring to change its trajectory and snag another goose next to it.

"it is good!"

“Wow!”

"Is this okay?"
