There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

Isn't it unfair to let players of purple rank or higher participate in the Big Eater event?

Thinking this, Lu Qing took a look around the fast food restaurant.

This fast food restaurant is quite large, and they even set up a temporary performance stage specifically for this competitive eating event. However, even so, they can only accommodate about ten people at a time.

Lu Qing felt that this eating contest might have some kind of preliminary rounds, but these preliminary rounds wouldn't let you eat too much; it would probably be a competition to see who could eat a hamburger the fastest.

Probably not. What if there are people who eat a lot but eat slowly?

Lu Qing remembered that in her previous life, the stories she read were all written like this: the protagonist participated in a competitive eating contest, eating slowly but steadily, and in the end, to everyone's astonishment, ate far more food than a normal human could eat.

"Although I'm not a purple-level player, when it comes to the amount of food I eat..."

Lu Qing glanced at her skills and felt that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she had already secured the championship for this event.

However, this doesn't seem to make much sense. The champion only gets three thousand yuan, and now that she has a large family and business, she doesn't really care about such a small amount of money.

“Are we just going to sit here and wait for an hour? That feels so stupid,” Muir said suddenly, leaning on the dining table.

"How about... we go out for a walk?" After thinking for a while, Lu Qing replied after hearing Muir's words.

“Great! There’s an arcade not far from here, we can go play there for a while and then come back,” Fang Qingrou said enthusiastically.

"Arcade?" Hearing Fang Qingrou's words, Lu Qing also became slightly interested.

She's never been to an arcade before, and since she's rarely out, it doesn't seem like it's a bad idea to give it a try.

"What about Hao Meng and Mu Er? Do you want to go?" Lu Qing asked the two of them.

"I can do it, it's better than just sitting here doing nothing."

"Yes, yes, that's fine!"

The two answered together.

"Since no one objects, let's go." Lu Qing nodded, then led the three of them out of the fast food restaurant.

"Xiao Rou, you lead the way. I've never been to an arcade before," Lu Qing said to Fang Qingrou as they walked out of the store.

When she turned her head, she saw her younger sister floating behind her, still showing no signs of waking up, and felt a strange sense of unease.

She had completely forgotten about it until now, when she remembered that there was a ghost floating behind her.

"Little Deer, what are you looking at?" The perceptive Fang Qingrou noticed her unusual behavior and asked.

"It's nothing," Lu Qing said, shaking her head as if nothing was wrong.

She was now somewhat afraid to look directly at Fang Qingrou, because the original owner's consciousness was floating behind her.

In fact, after the Dark Forest incident, Lu Qing's soul had already merged with the original owner's soul. Logically speaking, she is now both the transmigrator and the original owner, while the younger sister floating behind her is just a wisp of consciousness.

How exactly does the cabin manage to protect the spiritual entity on its own, without any support from the soul?

Aren't the spirit and the soul the same thing?

Lu Qing had too many questions in her mind, but she was not a scientist and did not have the relevant knowledge, so she was destined not to get the conclusion she wanted.

After following Fang Qingrou to the arcade and spending money to buy a bunch of game tokens, Lu Qing finally shook off all her doubts.

Don't dwell on things you can't understand; try to relax as much as possible right now.

"What's here?" Lu Qing asked Fang Qingrou.

"Hehe, don't ask any more questions, you'll know when you see it," Fang Qingrou chuckled.

The four of them arrived at the racing simulator, where two children were playing. Lu Qing glanced at it and found that it was very easy to operate. All they had to do was turn the steering wheel and press the accelerator and brake pedals at the bottom of the simulator to control it.

"Want to give it a try?" Fang Qingrou asked when she saw Lu Qing staring at the racing simulator.

"Forget it, it doesn't seem very fun," Lu Qing said, shaking her head.

What's the difference between this and a regular racing game? It's just that it has a realistic steering wheel and accelerator/brake.

"How will you know if you don't try? It's not expensive, just one game coin." Fang Qingrou smiled mysteriously, then half-pushed and half-pulled Lu Qing into her seat.

Fang Qingrou then sat down next to her and put a coin into the game machine.

Because the other two spots were taken by other people, Hao Meng and Muir could only watch the two of them play from the back.

"Let's play in two-player mode," Fang Qingrou said to Lu Qing.

"Hmm... let's play a round then." Lu Qing also inserted a game coin into the game machine, and then entered the two-player mode under Fang Qingrou's guidance.

3, 2, 1 – Start!

As the countdown on the screen ended, she and Fang Qingrou stepped on the gas at the same time and sped off from the starting line.

The game's AI wasn't very strong, and it wasn't long before the two of them left the game behind. At this point, Lu Qing was in the lead, while Fang Qingrou was right behind her.

For some reason, Lu Qing felt a sense of urgency and was very worried that Fang Qingrou would catch up with her from behind.

However, she maintained her lead until near the finish line, which put her at ease.

However, at the last bend, Fang Qingrou's car suddenly performed a very cool float, moving almost along the edge of the wall, instantly leaving Lu Qing behind and taking first place by half a body length.

"........."

Lu Qing remained silent for a moment, suppressing the urge to spend another coin and start over.

"Let's play a different game," Lu Qing said somewhat awkwardly.

Fang Qingrou had clearly been deliberately letting her win, only suddenly attacking at the last moment. Lu Qing felt that she would probably lose anyway if she continued playing, so she might as well switch games. Finally, she added:

"This game isn't fun..."

Chapter 441: Throwing a Tantrum?

PS: Thank you to reader Haoxia Chaomu for the 1500 Qidian Coins!

Leaving the racing simulator, the group continued deeper into the arcade.

Along the way, they passed some machines that involved gambling, such as slot machines, and another machine whose name Lu Qing couldn't recall.

It's a glass case with a movable metal block underneath, and game coins are spread all over the top and bottom of the metal block.

According to Fang Qingrou, this thing is called a high-stakes gamble, but in reality, it's impossible to push down the game coins without betting a certain amount. Just throw in one or two occasionally as a token gesture, and don't rely on this thing too much.

Lu Qing didn't care about the cost, since she didn't need the game currency anyway.

Then they encountered a claw machine, but skipped it because none of the toys inside were the type they were interested in.

Then there's a pinball machine. You just insert a coin and the metal ball inside the machine bounces upwards. The score based on the height the ball reaches is then used to reward you with a small card.

Well, you need a hundred tickets to redeem a small prize, and even with incredible luck and a perfect score, you only get thirty tickets. The small prizes aren't worth much, so it's no wonder nobody plays this game...

Lu Qing tried once and got twelve small cards, which she couldn't exchange for anything, so she just treated it as a test of luck.

Along the way, they passed a shooting game. All Lu Qing had to do was hold two simulated guns and aim at the zombies on the screen. She found it very easy, since the bullets wouldn't deflect at all, and the distance was so close to her. If she couldn't get headshots every time, she might as well dig a hole and bury herself.

"Hey, Little Deer, let's try that!" Fang Qingrou suddenly saw something and said to Lu Qing with some excitement.

"What is that?" Lu Qing looked in the direction Fang Qingrou was pointing with some confusion, and saw several machines with a historical feel standing there.

"This is... an arcade game?" This was the only answer Lu Qing could give given her limited knowledge of various gaming devices.

"Ah."

Fang Qingrou nodded and then said, "Let's give it a try. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a fighting game."

"Fighting games?"

Lu Qing's face fell as she recalled how Fang Qingrou had easily defeated her when they were playing the racing simulator.

This girl must come here to play games all the time. Playing fighting games with her is just asking for trouble, isn't it?

However, Lu Qing was also very curious about fighting games. She had played online fighting games before, but this was her first time playing one in an arcade.

Moreover, the fighting games on arcade machines are probably very old games that she has never played.

"Then... let's give it a try." After hesitating for a moment, Lu Qing nodded.

"Hehe, let's get started right away!" Fang Qingrou took Lu Qing's hand and slowly ran to the arcade machine, inserting the game coins.

"Watch the time, there are only a dozen minutes left before the fast food restaurant's promotion starts," Muir reminded them from behind.

"It won't take more than a few minutes to get back, don't rush," Fang Qingrou said nonchalantly, waving her hand.

Lu Qing first played the tutorial solo, then played a couple of matches against the AI ​​to familiarize herself with the controls, before officially PK'ing with Fang Qingrou.

When choosing a character, she selected a beautiful girl wielding a long spear, whose black ponytail made the character look very cool.

As for Fang Qingrou, she chose a character that looked a bit strange. She had no weapon and was very thin, making her seem easy to deal with. Lu Qing had used her before when she tried the game and felt that the character's skills were not easy to use. Her arms were too short, and she didn't know how to connect the skills.

But since this was Fang Qingrou's choice, Lu Qing dared not be careless and put all her energy into the duel with her.

Half a minute later...

“Hmm…” Lu Qing pouted, looking at the character lying on the ground on the screen, feeling very unwilling.

"At least let me touch it," she thought, looking at the health bar of the character Fang Qingrou had chosen, which hadn't decreased at all.

"Want to play another round?" Fang Qingrou asked Lu Qing with a smile.

“Again!” Lu Qing nodded without hesitation.

She felt that the previous game was just because she wasn't familiar with the controls, but this time she definitely would!

Then, within twenty seconds of the game starting, she was easily knocked to the ground by Fang Qingrou's combo attack...

After that, they restarted several more games. Each time, Lu Qing felt that she had improved, but she was still easily defeated by Fang Qingrou. Just when she was feeling a little uneasy and was about to quit, a voice appeared.

"You're so bad, do you need my help?"

"???"

Lu Qing was startled by the sudden sound, and her actions immediately faltered. Fang Qingrou seized the opportunity and launched a full combo attack.

Fortunately, Lu Qing had learned some skills after so many matches and managed to break free from Fang Qingrou's combos, but looking at both sides' health, it seemed unlikely that she would win this match.

Turning her head to look behind her, Lu Qing immediately realized that her younger sister had already woken up.

Before she could say anything, her sister transformed into a cloud of smoke and surged into the arcade machine's control panel.

Suddenly, the joystick in her hand started moving on its own. The character who had been struggling against Fang Qingrou's attacks suddenly turned the tables and started beating Fang Qingrou's characters.
