"Don't get too excited yet, don't forget I still have Kagero, who can counter your Red丸." The short guy gritted his teeth and watched as his second character, Kagero Kagura, jumped out. He rubbed his hands and entered the battle.

The entire battle lasted only thirteen seconds, and the short guy's Kagero was thrown out, while Lin Nan's Red丸 didn't lose a single drop of blood.

"Damn, those moves, that reaction speed, it's simply incredible." A tall student who often played '97' couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Continue!" The short guy's face turned red as he watched his last character, Yoriko Sakazaki, jump out. His hands couldn't help but tremble.

With his two main characters unable to even touch the other side, it was a pipe dream to think that this weakling could take down the other's Red丸.

Sure enough, as the short guy's mental state collapsed, his moves became even worse. This time, the battle lasted only eight seconds, and Yoriko Sakazaki screamed and fell to the ground.

"Amazing, too amazing, truly a master." Many people around looked at Lin Nan with envious eyes. At this moment, the short guy suddenly stood up with a red face and slapped the machine, saying, "It doesn't count, it doesn't count, this stick is no good!"

"Damn! Kid, can you play or not?" Lin Tong finally found an opportunity to show his contempt and gave the short guy the middle finger.

"You guys switched players mid-battle, and my stick is no good, it doesn't count." The short guy ignored Lin Tong's gaze, stood up, and walked over, "Let's switch sticks and play again, best of three, dare you?"

"Sure." Lin Nan acted nonchalant, got up, and walked over, and Lin Tong naturally followed.

But just as Lin Nan sat down, Lin Tong suddenly got angry.

"Kid, do you have any shame, just say if you can't play!"

"Who can't play? How about you guys can't play?" The short guy glared at him, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

"Fine, best of three, then." Lin Nan patted Lin Tong and smiled calmly.

"Wait, Nan, look." At this moment, Lin Tong suddenly pointed to the heavy kick button on the machine in front of Lin Nan and angrily said, "This kid can't play, he used sunflower seeds to block this button."

"Oh?" After Lin Tong's words, Lin Nan finally looked down and indeed found that the heavy kick button on his machine was completely jammed. The short guy on the other side snorted, "I told you that machine was no good, no heavy kick, how could I possibly lose?"

"Damn." Lin Tong angrily said, "Which kid started with a heavy kick just now, do you think we're all blind?"

"Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't." The short guy looked at Lin Tong coldly, "What's the problem, can't play?"

"You!" Lin Tong pointed angrily, but Lin Nan pulled him back, shook his head slightly, and then looked at the short guy, "You say your machine is no good, fine, check your machine and see if any buttons are not working."

"Okay, I'll check, their machine is always no good." The short guy pretended to press each button a few times and nodded, "Okay, no problem now."

"Okay, good." Lin Nan nodded and stared at him, "The last round doesn't count, starting now, best of three, no problem, right?"

"No problem, no problem, come on, let's start, class is about to start." The short guy rubbed his hands and quickly inserted a coin.

On the other side, Lin Nan was about to insert a coin when Lin Tong suddenly held him back and frowned, "Nan, this stick is no good, let's wait until their boss comes back and gets it fixed tomorrow."

"No need." Lin Nan pushed his arm away, inserted a coin with a clink, and smiled coldly, "To beat this kind of player, one working button is enough."

"Damn, too much showing off, right?" A guy who seemed to be with the short guy snorted.

"Tch, what do you know, that's what a master does." The short guy echoed sarcastically, then selected three characters: Red丸, Kyo, and Mary.

On this side, Lin Nan directly selected Terry.

Without a heavy kick, and still selecting a team, everyone clearly saw Lin Nan's disdain for the short guy.

The first match began, the short guy's Kyo versus Lin Nan's Terry.

In less than twenty seconds, the short guy's Kyo was easily KOed, and he didn't even touch Lin Nan's Terry once.

"Too strong, infinite combo until death..." Many people around exclaimed in amazement.

Actually, in the future, Terry's infinite combo was not allowed in matches, but in this era, there were no such rules. For a master like Lin Nan, as long as you showed a slight flaw, the match was over.

Boom!

In the second match, the short guy's Mary was also KOed by Lin Nan's Terry's infinite combo and final move without even touching him.

In the third match, the short guy's Red丸 jumped out again. At this point, he had completely lost confidence and didn't dare to attack, just crouching in the back to defend.

Click!

Under Lin Nan's intense pressure, the short guy finally made a mistake and was hit by Lin Nan's Terry's light kick. Actually, a light kick only cost a tiny bit of health, but everyone knew it was over, the game was finished.

"Haohmaru, Haohmaru..." As Terry's shouts kept coming from the speakers, the short guy's Red丸 flew up and down in the air and was finally killed by a final move.

"Damn, that's too strong, not even a touch!" Everyone around sucked in a breath, because without a heavy kick, the short guy's three characters didn't even touch Lin Nan's Terry once.

"Kid, what do you have to say now!" Lin Tong pointed at the short guy's nose, his face full of satisfaction.

"Again!" The short guy gritted his teeth, inserted another coin, and after a clink, entered the character selection screen. This time, he thought for over ten seconds before seriously selecting Kagero Kagura, Kyo, and Goro Daimon.

Tap, tap, tap, the three characters were lined up. Lin Nan put Dongzhang first, and the short guy's first character was Kyo.

As soon as the match started, Lin Nan's Dongzhang began to spin, and no matter how the short guy's Kyo jumped or rolled, he couldn't break through Lin Nan's Dongzhang's spin, and was eventually cornered.

"You're too shameless." The short guy couldn't help but mutter, but at his level, he knew that although Lin Nan's Dongzhang seemed shameless, without extremely high skill, you couldn't control the distance between the spin and the opponent's character.

Slap! The short guy's Kyo tried to roll to avoid the spin but was kicked to death by Lin Nan's Dongzhang.

In the second match, the short guy used Kagero.

Kagero Kagura was known as the strongest and most graceful character in '97', and as long as he had two beans, he could directly combo you to death with final moves. Unfortunately, the short guy's Kagero was clearly not well-practiced, only flying around with fake shadows, and each time was beaten back by Lin Nan's Dongzhang, finally ending the match with a spin.

In the third match, the short guy's last hope, Goro Daimon, jumped out.

Goro Daimon was also a strong character in '97', with excellent anti-air and close-range attack capabilities, but no matter how strong a character, it depended on who used it. Clearly, the short guy's Goro was full of flaws in Lin Nan's eyes.

The old routine, Lin Nan's Dongzhang's spin was still sharp, forcing the short guy's Goro to be completely immobile. Seeing that the health was down by half, Lin Nan's Dongzhang suddenly burst a bean. At this moment, the short guy's old habit kicked in, and he tried to roll out to grab Lin Nan's Dongzhang. Lin Nan seized the opportunity, heavy punch, front light kick, and super final move, directly ending the match with a crazy combo.

Two out of three matches, the winner was clear.

"Amazing, I lost." The short guy reluctantly handed over the hundred yuan to Lin Nan, staring at him, "I'll ask my master for a few moves in a couple of days, and we'll play again, I'll definitely win you then."

"Hmm..." Lin Nan took the money, didn't even look at him, and turned to walk out the door.
