Chapter 737 - 716: Claw Machine Killer
Watching Lu Duo'er bounce around, Ren Feng just smiled.
"Okay, I'll go get you some change."
This was like a small shopping mall, not just one row of claw machines, but many vendors had them, and there was quite a crowd, mostly student couples.
With the change in hand, Lu Duo'er eagerly started playing the claw machine.
"Alright, I want to get that big one."
With joy in her eyes, Lu Duo'er inserted the coins, and the music began to play. She started operating the claw machine.
"Slowly, slowly, Duo'er, don't rush, move a bit to the right."
Ren Feng joined in, saying with a smile.
Lu Duo'er was excited, the joystick slowly swaying back and forth. Finally, from her view, the claw seemed above the toy, and she pressed the button.
The claw started descending, opening up as if to grab the toy, but it missed by a hair's breadth.
"Oh no!"
Lu Duo'er felt a little discouraged, but Ren Feng smiled, "Don't worry, we'll keep at it until we get it."
"Alright!"
After inserting more coins, Lu Duo'er changed her target and tried again. This time, luck was on her side, and she grabbed the toy, the claw started lifting it up.
"Got it, got it."
Lu Duo'er was jumping with joy, but suddenly, the toy fell back down.
"Huh? How did that happen?" Lu Duo'er was a bit downhearted.
Ren Feng chuckled, "Your angle wasn't right, try again."
And so the cycle continued, with attempt after attempt, all ending in failure. Even after over a dozen tries, the toy still lay there.
In fact, these claw machines have their tricks; otherwise, how would the owners make money?
Other student couples playing the nearby machines were also a bit disappointed.
Not far away, a vendor watched as Lu Duo'er kept feeding coins, smiling—today was a good day for him.
Finally, after many tribulations, Lu Duo'er caught a toy.
"Feng, I'm exhausted, this thing is so hard to get."
"Duo'er, there's a technique to this, you can't just do it like that," Ren Feng laughed.
"Then Feng, can you help me? Let's clear out all the toys from this machine!" Lu Duo'er was excited.
"Alright, whatever you say, Duo'er."
Ren Feng inserted a coin and started, focusing his mind, a stream of True Qi entered the machine and attached to the claw.
"Duo'er, which toy do you like?" Ren Feng asked.
"That one, the biggest one." Lu Duo'er pointed to the big bear at the bottom of the pile.
Ren Feng pressed the button, and the True Qi attached to the claw opened, the big bear seemingly flying into the claw on its own, though the action was subtle and unnoticed by others.
"Wow, amazing, amazing." Lu Duo'er applauded, and in no time Ren Feng had extracted the big bear.
Lu Duo'er held the big bear, absolutely delighted, while some nearby couples looked on with envy, thinking it was impressive.
"Feng, I also want that toy." Lu Duo'er pointed to another medium-sized toy penguin inside the machine.
Ren Feng inserted a coin, and moments later, extracted it as well.
"Feng, you're amazing, let's clear this machine out," Lu Duo'er was joyful and excited, "That would feel so accomplishing."
Ren Feng chuckled, "Sure."
And so, one toy after another was plucked from the machine, the toys inside rapidly diminishing, and almost every coin inserted yielded a toy.
Gradually, the toys piled up around Lu Duo'er, even borrowing a cart from a nearby supermarket couldn't hold them all, and the crowd gathered around them grew larger, filled with awe.
"So awesome."
"Are they going to empty the machine?"
Lu Duo'er kept cheering, giving away some toys too.
"Little friend, here's a toy for you." Lu Duo'er happily handed a small toy over.
Some college couples shyly approached, and Lu Duo'er happily said, "I'll give you one too then."
The surrounding students were overjoyed, Lu Duo'er gave away all the toys except for the initial big bear, while Ren Feng continued clawing more.
This time, the nearby vendor couldn't sit still anymore, if this went on, he would be at a huge loss.
In just a short time, there were hardly any toys left in the machine, and as Ren Feng was about to go for more, the vendor rushed over to stop him, "Hey buddy, can we talk? Could you stop clawing? If this keeps going, I'll lose big time."
Ren Feng saw the vendor's sweaty forehead and chuckled, "Okay, I'll switch to another machine."
The vendor sighed with relief, "Thanks for understanding, small business you know, hope you don't mind."
The surrounding onlookers laughed out loud, while Ren Feng and Lu Duo'er moved to another machine, causing the vendor to panic again and rush to stop them.
Ren Feng looked at him curiously, and he awkwardly said, "Sorry, but this machine's mine too, could you maybe try a different place? The other vendors are fine with it."
Ren Feng found it amusing, so he moved to another vendor.
Then, the nightmare for these arcade machine vendors began.
Not far away, a vendor was chatting with someone when the previous vendor hurried over.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, stop chatting, someone is cleaning out all the toys!"
"No way, I just restocked yesterday."
"Believe it, the guy's a claw machine master, winning every try!"
Mr. Zhang panicked, rushing over to find his machine half empty.
A big crowd was gathered, cheering loudly.
"Good job!"
"Impressive, that skill is unmatched."
"Exactly, truly a genius, not a single miss, I watched the whole time, every coin thrown in nets a toy."
"How many has he grabbed?"
"Look, three nearby machines are empty, where do you think all these toys came from?"
"Huh?"
As Ren Feng lifted another toy, this machine was also empty now.
"Master, next machine!" the crowd continued to shout.
Ren Feng walked to the next machine, Mr. Zhang panicked, rushing over to stop him.
"Buddy, can you stop? Here's a hundred bucks, please stop, if you keep going, I'll be ruined."
