Chapter 363 -269 I’m Calling for External Support Now (5000 words)_3
She couldn’t figure out why Jiang Ning kept watching Xue Yuantong lose.
“Could it be, he plans to go up and win back everything at the end?” Bai Yuxia had this thought in her heart.
Then immediately, she denied it. Impossible, it was far too difficult to win back the money that was lost.
So far Jiang Ning had already spent 100 fifty yuan, even if he could precisely knock down only one jar with each throw, he would still need three tries just to break even.
But that was simply impossible. Zhuang Jianhui and Wu Xiaoqi, who were so good at basketball, still couldn’t change the outcome of losing money.
Bai Yuxia had only seen Jiang Ning fight people, she never saw him play basketball, presumably, he wasn’t good at it.
She speculated as such.
On the other side, Ding Shuyan was exceptionally quiet, her eyes tranquil as water, watching Xue Yuantong’s performance in the game.
She was waiting.
…
Li Shi lost eight times in a row, Xue Yuantong nine times.
The surrounding audience thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Li Shi was beautiful and stood tall, the curves revealed when she threw resonated with the watching men, making them reluctant to leave.
Moreover, from another sinister perspective, if they couldn’t win the favor of the beauty, then seeing the beauty run into bad luck was also a pleasure.
Meanwhile, the onlooking crowd felt regretful and couldn’t help but fantasize. If they possessed superb skills at the sand jar game, could they attract the attention of the beauties and develop an ambiguous story?
Xue Yuantong counted her remaining chance and looked towards Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning gave her a warm look.
Xue Yuantong understood immediately. Jiang Ning meant for her to play out the game to the end.
Xue Yuantong relaxed slightly, a joy appearing on her brow. She threw another ball, this one especially pleasurable.
However, the outcome wasn’t great, only five jars fell.
“You need to pay more,” Li Shi said.
Xue Yuantong lifted her small face, unconcerned:
“I’m just warming up.”
Li Shi: “???”
Are you joking? After throwing 15 balls and losing 100 fifty yuan, now you say you’re warmed up?
Isn’t it that you’ve simply run out of money?
The owner gleefully tempted: “Will you keep playing?”
Chen Siyu was anxious. She tiptoed and shouted:
“Xue Yuantong, I’ll treat you to snacks!”
Li Shi asked, “Are you planning to leave?”
To her, losing some money didn’t matter.
“Not exactly leaving,” Xue Yuantong said.
She sought help from the sidelines: “Jiang Ning, it’s your turn now.”
Jiang Ning gave the owner ten yuan: “One ball for me.”
The owner’s mood lifted even further, having noticed the interaction between the two, he understood that there was a relationship between them.
In their business, they loved this kind of situation the most.
Often girls would lose money, then the boys, unwilling to accept it, would come to stake their ground, and end up losing even more. Men, more concerned with face than women, were more prone to impulsiveness.
“Just one round?” the owner asked.
“Mhm, just one for now,” Jiang Ning said indifferently.
The owner tempted: “One round might not be enough, try a couple more, better chances of winning.”
Jiang Ning did not refuse his ‘kindness’ and said:
“That’s what you said, now give me another ball.”
The owner felt it was all right to earn an extra ten yuan.
Xue Yuantong stepped away from the sand jar position, and Jiang Ning took over.
Li Shi teased: “Jiang Ning, are you planning to retrieve lost ground for Xue Yuantong?”
She absolutely didn’t believe Jiang Ning could do something that even Zhuang Jianhui couldn’t. With Jiang Ning?
This wasn’t something that could be done with mere passion.
Jiang Ning said, “Just playing around.”
After Xue Yuantong stepped off, Chen Siyu hurriedly approached her:
“Let Jiang Ning play two rounds and then stop him, I’ll treat you guys to something to eat.”
Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong had lost 100 seventy yuan, which was a harsh blow.
Chen Siyu and her sister only had around three hundred yuan for their weekly expenses.
Xue Yuantong agreed at once: “Mhm, okay, I’ll only let him play two rounds.”
Chen Siyu’s heart, which she had been holding up, finally settled down.
Now all that was left was to wait for Jiang Ning to finish losing.
Bai Yuxia was staring at Jiang Ning.
Lin Zida pondered: “Could Jiang Ning really be thinking of winning the money back for Xue Yuantong?”
Zhuang Jianhui said: “Having lost so much, he definitely wants to win it back. One hundred or more is not a small amount of money for average people.”
“It’s odd, that’s not like Jiang Ning, unless he’s absolutely sure.” Lin Zida would chat with Jiang Ning in the corridors about games and other topics.
In his memory, Jiang Ning was a very calm person, always unruffled.
Zhuang Jianhui said: “People have many sides.”
The implication was that Lin Zida had misjudged.
Many people were paying attention to Jiang Ning, knowing he was there to make up for the loss of the little girl who had played before.
‘Ha, do you even have the ability?’ many amongst the crowd were thinking like this.
The difficulty of the sand jar game was clear to all.
If they couldn’t do it, they didn’t want to see anyone else succeed.
Want to win?
Dream on.
Shen Xu, who had originally decided to play, seeing the high probability of losing, also decided to give up.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Ning picked up the basketball.
His expression was calm, his fingers exerted a slight force, and the basketball spun steadily on his fingertip like a globe.
Zhuang Jianhui commented, “He’s got something, but not much.”
Li Shi: “You plan to use a spinning ball?”
Jiang Ning: “Yes.”
“Spinning balls won’t work,” Li Shi said, reminding him that Zhuang Jianhui had demonstrated that already.
Jiang Ning replied: “Let’s try it.”
As soon as the words fell, he flicked his fingertips lightly, and the rapidly spinning basketball suddenly shot out!
Miraculously tracing an arc in the air.
The basketball hit the sand jar pyramid.
The solidly standing jars exploded outward from the center, crushed directly under the ball.
Jars scattered and fell everywhere, the concrete floor a scene of chaos.

Everyone was stunned.
Li Shi quickly counted the fallen jars: “One, two, three…”
Xue Yuantong from the sidelines excitedly shouted: “No need to count, they all fell!”
She leaped joyfully: “I told you, Jiang Ning is super awesome.”
