One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

A purple static electricity, imperceptible to the naked eye, shot directly into the claw machine's motherboard along the screw!

next second.

The claw machine, which had been displaying a scrolling light, suddenly shuddered.

"Splash splash splash!"

The baffle inside the machine, which was meant to block the outlet, went out of control.

The dozen or so giant Pikachu plush toys piled inside surged out of the exit like an avalanche!

Less than three seconds.

A pile of bright yellow dolls covered the ground, burying half of Chen Duo's body in them.

Zhang Tianyi dusted off his hands, turned around, looked at the dumbfounded Zhuge Qing, and raised an eyebrow:

Did you learn it?

Chen Duo peeked out from a pile of dolls, picked up the top one, and her eyes shone like stars in the sky.

She nodded emphatically:

"Master is the most powerful."

Wang Ye, standing to the side, covered his face and let out a long sigh:

"Second Master, we're here representing China in a high-level competition."

"Can't you... just follow the rules of convention for a little bit?"

Zhang Tianyi scooped up the three plush toys and shoved them into Wang Ye's arms, replying with an air of self-righteousness:

"In Master Dao's dictionary, happiness is the biggest rule!"

Chapter 323 A Passionate Youth's Vision

The streets of Akihabara are ablaze with lights at night, teeming with people.

Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing had more than a dozen bright yellow electric mouse dolls of various sizes hanging on their arms and necks.

The two young masters, who were usually treated with respect wherever they went in the circle, now followed behind with a look of utter despair.

Xiao Zizai and Hei Guan'er didn't escape either; they were also covered in stuff.

Passersby turned to look at the group with surprise in their eyes.

"Master, don't we have food sacs? Why do we have to carry these?"

Zhang Chulan was holding two oversized creatures in his arms, their heads struggling to peek out from the fluffy fur.

"This thing is cute, but when we go through security back in China, will customs officials think we're here to do wholesale business in Japan?"

"Nonsense! How would anyone know we won so many plush toys if you didn't hold them in your hand?"

"Besides, what do you know? This is called returning with a full load."

Zhang Tianyi took a bite of chicken and waved his hand without turning his head:

"If I come out for a trip and don't bring back some souvenirs, those kids in the mountains will start gossiping about me behind my back, calling me stingy."

Chen Duo seemed to be having a good time.

She was holding the largest Pikachu in her arms, and even puffed out her cheeks slightly, mimicking the expression on the toy.

"Hey, it's funny that so many people are gathered around trying to catch fish."

"Let's go! Let's go take a look."

Zhang Tianyi quickly led Chen Duo over.

"Left, left! Oh dear grandson, your technique is terrible! You have to use a little skill to catch goldfish, and you've completely torn your paper net!"

Zhang Tianyi squatted in front of the stall, holding a box of takoyaki in his hand, pointing at the food with a bamboo skewer.

Zhang Chulan squatted by the small pond, clutching a paper net with a large hole in it, on the verge of tears.

"Master, the boss has definitely tampered with the paper. It dissolves when it gets wet. How can anyone fish it out?"

"Get out of the way, look at my dog."

Feng Baobao squeezed through with a blank expression, holding a new paper net in her hand.

She didn't even look at the pool; she simply flicked her wrist across the surface of the water.

"Splash!"

The three plump goldfish were cleverly scooped into the plastic bowl next to them.

"Oh! Siguoyi!"

The stall owner's eyes widened in amazement, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Zhang Tianyi patted Feng Baobao on the shoulder with a smile: "Well done! Come on, let's go check out that shop up ahead, the billboard is really eye-catching."

The group chatted and laughed, carrying large and small bags, and continued their street sweeping in a grand manner.

However, it was behind a vending machine less than ten meters away from them.

A man in a gray suit, wearing a mask, and holding a newspaper was secretly watching the group of people.

He discreetly pulled out a miniature communicator hidden in his tie and lowered his voice:

"Moshi Moshi! Young Master! I am Sentinel Number Three."

"The target's current movements are...very strange!"

A calm, young male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Speak. Are they surveying the terrain, or have they met with someone special?"

"No...none of those!"

The sentry looked at Zhang Tianyi and the others who were queuing to buy cotton candy not far away, his expression strange.

"Young Master! Zhang Tianyi, who is known as a master of the Celestial Master's Mansion, just... just finished eating five crepes. He's currently queuing up to buy cotton candy."

"That guy named Zhang Chulan just spent three thousand yen to catch goldfish. And that girl with the backpack is staring blankly at a cart selling oden."

The sentry's voice carried a deep sense of existential doubt.

"Young Master, they bought a huge pile of Pikachu and Gundam models. We've analyzed it for a long time, but we really can't figure out what profound intentions are hidden in it. Please advise!"

"..."

There was a deathly silence on the other end of the communicator for ten seconds.

……

Inside a high-end Wagyu beef yakiniku restaurant in Shibuya, Tokyo, with a lively and bustling atmosphere.

The exhaust fan whirred, and the top-quality Wagyu beef on the grill sizzled enticingly.

The rich fat dripped down the meat's texture onto the charcoal fire, stirring up plumes of white smoke mixed with the aroma of meat.

"beep."

A young man with short black hair, sharp features, and a resolute expression turned off the Bluetooth earphone in his ear.

He took a deep breath and rubbed his temples, as if trying to banish the outrageous information he had just heard from his mind.

He is none other than the captain of the Japanese team this time, the young patriarch of the Abe family—Abe Genji.

"Yuanyi, what's wrong? What did your informants say? Is the Chinese team conducting some kind of secret training?"

A silver-haired young man sitting opposite him held a pair of barbecue tongs and twirled them in mid-air.

The young man's eyes were slightly upturned, revealing a rebellious and sharp spirit.

The genius of the Ashiya family, Ryo Ashiya.

Abe Genji glanced at him, sighed, and told him the truth:

"The informant said... they're catching goldfish in Akihabara and have bought a bunch of anime figures."

"..."

The barbecue table fell silent instantly.

"Pfft, hahahahaha!"

Ashiya Ryo paused for two seconds, then burst into exaggerated laughter.

"Goldfish scooping? Figurine buying? That's it?! This is the Chinese dream team that made those old men upstairs so wary?!"

Ashiya Ryo laughed so hard he slapped his thigh, his eyes filled with undisguised fighting spirit:

"I thought it was some kind of three-headed, six-armed monster! Turns out it's just a bunch of country bumpkins who've never seen the world coming here for tourism."

"Yuanyi, it seems that we don't even need to go all out in this competition to keep that [Longevity Elixir] safely in the country!"

"It's cold, don't be too careless."

Abe Genji picked up his teacup and took a sip. Although his tone was calm, his tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

"Since Grandpa and the others value this so much, the other party must have something special about them."

However... such a careless attitude of completely underestimating the opponent before the match is indeed a major taboo in military strategy.

"Oh dear, who cares about them! The meat's almost burnt!"

A cheerful voice interrupted their conversation.

A girl sitting to Yuan Yi's left had her hair styled in a cute bun and was wearing a bright yellow casual sweatshirt.

Sakura Miyamoto, the only girl in the team, is also a complete optimist.

Holding chopsticks in her hand, she stared intently at the golden-brown Wagyu beef on the grill, her mouth practically watering.

"I want this piece! This one is the fattiest!"

Sakura couldn't wait to reach out with her chopsticks and grab the sizzling, oily piece of grilled meat.

"Snapped."

A pair of chopsticks reached out from the side and gently tapped on Sakura's chopsticks, blocking her movement.

"Watch out, it's hot, you reckless fool."
