Chapter 238 – Setting the School Festival on Fire (Part Two)

All the other students had finished their projects, leaving only Ye Yunxi still working diligently with her head down.

Soon, many classmates gathered around to mock them.

“Oh? Weren’t you going to crush us?”

“Exactly! You haven’t even finished yet—how can you talk about crushing anyone?”

“Maybe they won’t even manage to complete it in the end!”

“Haha, then they’ll definitely be last place, completely crushed by us!”

“Hey, can you all shut up?”

Ren Qiao couldn’t help but snap angrily.

“What? You were the ones who arrogantly claimed you’d crush us!”

“That’s right!”

Now that you can’t deliver, let’s see if you still have the nerve to show off!

“B-but… what Ye Yunxi is making looks somewhat familiar!”

Someone’s comment made everyone instinctively turn to look.

Ye Yunxi wasn’t actually working slowly, but her project was far more complex than anything her classmates had attempted, requiring significantly more time. As the entire Night Phoenix Society collaborated to complete the final steps and Ye Yunxi gradually assembled the pieces, everyone’s eyes widened in astonishment.

They indeed recognized it—had seen it before, and what’s more, had played with it!

“Holy… holy crap! She actually made this!”

“A claw machine! She actually built a claw machine!!”

When the last component was put in place, everyone went wild!

It was a half-person-height claw machine—compact enough to need placement on a table for use, but still!

It was a genuine claw machine!

Far more impressive than their paper crafts, miniature houses, or gardens!

Their projects required minimal technical skill—just basic assembly.

But what she made was a fully functional device—a real claw machine!!

Damn!

Ye Yunxi, are you for real?!

You actually built a claw machine out of cardboard!!

The entire class erupted in excitement!

Ye Yunxi, you’re just too incredible!!

[Ding! Prestige +10+10+…]

Prestige kept rising nonstop, sending the System into euphoria.

Hahaha! There’s nothing my Host can’t accomplish in this world!!

A claw machine is nothing to her!!!

Wiping sweat from her forehead, Ye Yunxi took a deep breath and turned with a smile. “So, is this enough to crush you all?”

Was that even a question??

The students looked utterly defeated. This wasn’t just enough—it was complete and total domination!

“Wait, but does it actually work? Or is it just for show?”

If it’s just a model claw machine, they could make one too!

The real test is whether it functions!

“Want to find out?”

Ye Yunxi chuckled softly as she approached the claw machine, operating it with practiced ease.

Aside from lacking a metal/plastic casing and flashy lights, the claw machine was identical to those found in arcades.

The claw descended, grabbed a plush toy, moved to the exit, and dropped it—the toy tumbled out of the machine right into Ye Yunxi’s waiting hand.

“Does it work well enough?”

Ye Yunxi smiled as she posed the question.

At that, everyone was rendered completely speechless!

What was there left to say?!

This was a fully operational claw machine—not some decorative vase!

Alright, alright, Ye Yunxi, we admit you’re amazing!!!

[Ding! Prestige +10+10+…]

Prestige continued to skyrocket as everyone acknowledged Ye Yunxi’s unparalleled skill.She actually built a functioning claw machine by hand—truly one of a kind! This is bound to become the greatest legend in Jun Yao’s history!!

Fine, you win!!

Ah, how frustrating.

Why is it that they can never surpass Ye Yunxi, not even once?
