Lucky 19

Eight minutes, within that time, Calix conquered the Claw Machine section. In his pushcart, you could see cakes, ice creams, and even pizza. His cart was filled with food. He got all of them playing. Not just that, he even had a phone! Two brand new phones! The people around him gathered as they watched how he massacred the business of this Game Center. The staff started sweating, just a small period of time passed but this man just snatched tons of prizes. The money he put in the machine was not enough to equal the items he got. It was frustrating watching him, they wanted to stop him but…

"Boss, what do you think? Will he really get the Xvox One?"

"Shh, be quiet. I want to see how he will get it."

The thugs who had patches on their faces were surrounding Calix. They were blocking the staff from stopping Calix. They glared at any staff that would get closer, it was frightening. Even one of them was holding a bat, tapping it in his hand.

"Oi, do you have a dollar? I don't have any change."

Calix asked one of the thugs. He was actually surprised that they came across each other again. Then, the thugs started watching him winning(stealing) all of the best goods in the claw machines. They were in awe as they witnessed how he conquered them. It felt like they were seeing history right in front of their eyes. Even one of them started taking videos of him, he would definitely post it on Eyutube.

"Here bro, you don't have to pay me."

The Boss said with a smiling face. In just a few minutes, they turn from strangers to friends.

"Thanks, just like I promise, if I get this Xvox, I will give it to you. I don't have any TV anyway so I can't use it."

Calix was not a gamer. He did play fighting games but he always loses, so he was not hyped about taking the XVox.

"Thanks man, I'll appreciate it. Don't worry. Even if you don't get it, I will not get angry. It's already enough for me to see this history."

The Boss said as he nodded. He was satisfied just by seeing this one in a lifetime moment. 

"Nah, I will give half of my wins if that happened."

"No, I won't accept it."

The Boss shook his head.

Calix chuckled. He realized that these thugs were actually not bad. He could talk to them, not like the others who would start beating him without any reason. He gave those people broken faces after they tried to topple him. Of course, he was beaten too.

"So, let's do this."

He grinned and walked to the final boss, he looked at the Claw Machine. He didn't know but he was excited to use this unique power that he just had. This was the first time he used it but he started to get addicted. He knew that being under and addicted to his own power would be bad for him. But for now, he wanted to succumb to pleasure. The feeling of winning everything gave him a thrill.

"Besides, I want to know the limit of my power. How long can I keep winning."

Calix put the money in. He reached for the controller and…

………

……

The cashier sighed as she left their storage room. Kimberly was carrying a suitcase, camera, and box of a brand new phone. She was humming and eager to meet the man again, her eyeglasses were beaming in enthusiasm. She entered the place with excitement as she held the items with utmost care.

"Waaaahhh!!!"

"He did it, he fucking did it!"

"Woooohhh, yeahhh! That's what I've been waiting for!"

"Lezgo!!"

The cashier was welcomed by the strong screams of people celebrating. Her ears almost turn deaf.

"Huh? What's happening here?"

Kimberly tilted her head and looked around. She saw that people were surrounding someone, she was too far to see who it was.

But it didn't matter, her job was to get Calix's number and take a picture with him. She blushed thinking about it, she was 20 years old and still not accustomed to love. She did have a few boyfriends but none of them gave these kinds of feelings. It was funny that despite meeting this man once, he already captured her heart. The fluttering sensation was hard to control.

While she was busy going to her post, the people were starting to move too. She reached the place but the guy was not there.

"Did he go somewhere?"

She looked around but the people blocked her vision. Kimberly is not short for a woman but these people, especially men, were far taller than her. She couldn't find him, she raised her feet just to get better vision but it was futile.

Suddenly, she realized that the people started moving. She felt like they were following someone. As they moved, she was shocked to see them dividing and creating a path right in front of her.

"W-what?"

However, she immediately realized why. The man who won the raffle was in the middle. He was surrounded by a group of young people who looked bad. Calix was pushing the pushcart, he was anxious about the ice creams so he gave them to the thugs. Of course, he was eating one too.

The thugs who were with him respect him highly. The Boss was holding the Xvox and he was excited to use it immediately but of course, he had to pay gratitude to Calix. He and his group promised that they would send Calix to his dorm safely with no scratches.

"Eh?"

The cashier was shocked, Kimberly didn't know what was happening. Why does Calix was being surrounded by a group of thugs, why people looked at him with respect, and in the first place, why was he pushing a cart full of cakes and pizzas?

"Ah, those are from the claw machines, right?"

She asked herself because she was not sure. Her thoughts stopped when she realized that Calix was now in front of her. She looked up and saw his pretty face. He had mid-fade-cut black hair and sharp green eyes. Gosh, even his gazes made her heart skip a beat.

"S- sir, this is your prize!"

She squealed while saying it, she blushed in embarrassment but Calix just smiled. He received the prize like a nobleman… he wanted to have a battle suit. As for the phone, he already had a pair of brand new but who cares. The more you have, the better.

"Ah, you have a cute voice."

Calix said.

"Y-yes…"

She bowed her head and she wanted to scream but she bit her lips. Then, she remembered that she had to take a picture of him. But when she raised her head, she found that Calix was already gone and she could only see the people shouting and cheering him.
