However, in David Carter's hands, this became extremely simple. Holding a game token in his hand, it looked like he just casually slipped it in. In reality, with precise finger movements, the token seemed to slide down a chute directly. This feeling was wonderful—the sense of precise control, the ease and mastery, was truly marvelous. It wasn’t just a simple increase in strength; his speed, reaction, control, and eyesight had all undergone a complete transformation.

It was like a student who had just learned to play table tennis suddenly gaining the power, speed, control, and vision of a world champion. That feeling of having everything under control was amazing. David Carter knew he was truly different from before; the rebirth of his left arm had given him a brand new life.

He quickly inserted all the tokens he had just bought. David Carter tried two more times. Gradually, he was able to fully control that feeling. As long as he focused his attention, his physical abilities would reach a certain level, and the spinning slot machine in his eyes would slow down.

“Pa... pa... pa...” David Carter tried hitting a few times, first winning a few smaller prizes—some with five times the payout, some with seven times.

Of course, there were also some minor mistakes, but these were mainly because David Carter wasn’t yet familiar with his own hand speed. With his quick reflexes, his hand was much faster than he had estimated. With the experience just now, David Carter didn’t dare to use his left arm to hit anymore; if he accidentally broke the machine, it would be troublesome.

“Ding dong... clatter... clatter...” After a few tries, David Carter finally hit his first triple-seven. The machines here in Haicheng are set so that once you hit triple-seven, the machine will spit out a certain number of tokens within a set time, and the constant clinking sound as the tokens pour out is very exciting.

It felt great—this was also David Carter’s first time, and it was even more thrilling.

“This guy’s pretty lucky. Earlier, some kid lost over two hundred here and didn’t get anything...” Seeing someone win here, a few people came over to take a look. Quite a few glanced over, but didn’t pay much attention. After all, this kind of thing happened often—someone would play for a long time without winning, and as soon as they left, someone else would win with just a few tokens. This led to some regulars in the arcade watching for people who’d been playing a machine for a long time without winning, and as soon as they left, they’d jump in to play.

Some people even came over to take a look and offer congratulations. Their presence and congratulations made David Carter calm down a bit, because he quickly realized something.

Once you hit triple-seven, the machine not only plays music, but keeps paying out until a certain amount is reached. For others, this is an exciting and satisfying process, but that’s not what David Carter wanted.

Besides, he could hit whichever prize he wanted. After a quick calculation, David Carter decided not to hit triple-seven again. He picked another prize, each time only winning some smaller rewards that didn’t make much noise, so as not to attract attention.

Ever since his left arm was reborn, David Carter had become much calmer and more cautious than before.

“Uncle... uncle, you’re amazing! You won so much, can you give me two tokens?” At this moment, a little kid, only about ten years old, came over with a big grin.

David Carter casually took two tokens from the ones that had just come out and gave them to him. David Carter had come here with classmates before and knew how things worked. It was fine not to give them any, but some kids would keep pestering you and asking nicely.

They were all kids obsessed with games, and once you gave some away, more kids would come. Sure enough, not long after David Carter gave out the first two, a few more kids came over, grinning and asking for tokens. David Carter gave them some this time, but told them not to bother him again.

He knew these kids wandered around, looking for someone who had just won and was in a good mood, especially after hitting triple-seven. This only strengthened his resolve. After a few more rounds following the triple-seven win, he played casually for a bit. The few people who had been watching him soon turned their attention elsewhere, and only then did David Carter resume his actions.

With David Carter’s level of control, it was all wins and no losses from then on. Soon, his score on the machine reached over five thousand points.

You have to know, in this arcade, one yuan gets you three tokens. Over five thousand points, plus the tokens already paid out, was close to two thousand yuan.

“Damn, bro, you’re awesome! You’ve won so much...” Just as David Carter was happily playing, the guy with the buzz cut who had been sitting by the door had already lost everything and was about to leave. As he glanced over at David Carter’s machine, he couldn’t help but exclaim. His shout immediately drew everyone’s attention.

“Over five thousand points! You’re incredible...”

“How did you get so much? I didn’t hear anything from this side earlier. You must have hit several triple-sevens...”

...

That score was already very high for this kind of machine, and immediately seven or eight people gathered around to watch and discuss. David Carter hadn’t calculated exactly, but even hitting triple-seven once was only worth two or three hundred yuan. Quietly winning this much in a small to medium-sized arcade like this was already quite a lot.
