113: Chapter 113 Emptying the Claw Machine
Hearing this, a couple next to them grabbing dolls laughed: "How is that possible? These claw machines aren't that easy to win. I just tried ten times and didn't get a single one."
"Exactly. My boyfriend has already spent nearly fifty yuan. If I'd known this, I would've just gone and bought a doll."
The girl next to them was also very indignant.
Some merchants, in order to make money, rig the claw machines. Without technique, even if you manage to grab a doll, you'd still lose a lot of money.
Chen Feng, however, just smiled and didn't explain anything.
Yun Ting also wore a smile.
All she wanted was the experience.
So what if they lost money? Neither she nor Chen Feng was short of that little bit of cash.
As long as he could catch a doll for her, she would be very happy.
"You go ahead and catch them, I'll go find a bag later."
"Alright."
Chen Feng tried inserting a game token to get a feel for it first.
As expected, the moment the claw machine's claw lifted, the doll dropped back down.
"See? I told you it couldn't be caught."
The boy next to them shook his head, glanced at Yun Ting again, and said: "When you grab, you need to wiggle the claw back and forth; that increases the success rate."
As soon as he finished speaking, his girlfriend frowned.
She secretly pinched his arm and whispered in mock anger: "Why do you keep staring at her chest? Is it because you think my chest is small? Is it because you think I'm not as pretty as her!"
"I didn't!"
The boy's eyes darted away.
"You did, you did!"
The girl grew more annoyed the more she thought about it. If she didn't want to be a laughingstock in front of outsiders, she would have started an argument right then and there. "I don't care, you have to catch me a doll, or I'm breaking up with you!"
"I…"
The boy felt very aggrieved. That woman was indeed beautiful and had an elegant air; he had only snuck a glance, but his girlfriend had caught him.
There was no other choice! If he didn't catch a doll, his girlfriend would really break up with him!
He hurriedly went to exchange for another two hundred game tokens.
Meanwhile, Chen Feng had already gotten the feel of it.
[Ding, detected that the host lacks claw machine skills. Do you wish to redeem Master-level Claw Machine Skill?]
"Redeem!"
[Ding, Master-level Claw Machine Skill successfully redeemed. Deducting 10 System Points.]
[Current remaining System Points: 44053]
Chen Feng smiled faintly. He had plenty of System Points now; he could redeem any skill he wanted.
He tapped his finger on the Holographic Projection in the void. In an instant, he mastered the technique for claw machines.
The next moment, he inserted a game token. The mechanical claw swung and immediately grabbed a doll!
Just when everyone thought the doll would fall, the mechanical claw held onto it firmly and dropped it into the chute!
"Ah! You caught it! You caught it!"
Yun Ting was stunned for a moment before suddenly jumping up in excitement. She was as happy as a little girl.
She even planted a kiss on Chen Feng's cheek with a "pop" sound.
Chen Feng was instantly dumbfounded! Holy crap! You didn't even say a word before kissing me; you aren't going to make me take responsibility, are you?
Seeing his aggrieved expression, as if he were the victim, Yun Ting nearly lost her mind.
Boss! Aren't you being a bit too shameless? You're acting as if I took advantage of you!
Alright! It seems like I did take advantage of you…
"Why are you looking at me? Keep catching them!"
Yun Ting quickly changed the subject. "Catch! Catch!"
Chen Feng didn't bicker with her and inserted another game token.
Immediately after, a doll fell out.
"Holy crap!" The boy next to them was stunned. If the first time was luck, the second time certainly couldn't be, right?
"Look, others can catch them, and he's already caught two!" The girl looked at her boyfriend with some grievance.
Meanwhile! With every game token Chen Feng inserted, he caught a doll. In less than five minutes, he had already caught twenty dolls!
Yun Ting couldn't hold them all with her two hands anymore and had to go to a nearby shop to buy a large bag to put the dolls in.
By this time, passersby had gathered around, mostly couples.
"Wow, honey, look! He caught so many dolls. I want some too, I want some too!"
"I want to catch them for you too, but last time I spent a hundred yuan and only caught three. The machines here are too hard to win on. How about I just buy you a few?"
"Bought dolls have no soul! I don't care, I want you to catch them!"
Some men also widened their eyes. "Holy crap, that kid is awesome. He catches a doll with almost every token. He's a pro!"
"Isn't that right? The owner is going to lose money now, haha!"
"Hmph, this row of claw machines has scammed us out of so much money; today this young man has finally vented our frustration!"
The crowd grew larger and larger. Chen Feng caught more and more dolls. There were fifteen machines in this row in the mall corridor, and each one was filled with dolls.
In ten minutes, he had used up one hundred game tokens.
In front of Yun Ting was a large bag filled with dolls, and she was jumping with joy.
Pink, red, green… all sorts of colors! Who knows how many girls were turning green with envy!
They also wanted a boyfriend like Chen Feng. It didn't matter if he had money; at least he provided enough dolls!
"Hey, what is he counting?"
"What else could he be counting? He's counting how many dolls are left in these machines, and then he'll exchange for that many tokens!"
"Holy crap, he doesn't actually intend to empty these machines, does he?"
"I wouldn't believe it from anyone else, but this guy definitely has the skill. Let's wait and see the show, haha!"
Sure enough, after Chen Feng finished counting, he exchanged for another two hundred game tokens!
Yun Ting looked at the nearly full bag and said softly: "How about… let's just stop. It's almost full."
"It's fine. We have a car, what's there to worry about?"
Chen Feng chuckled; since they were catching them, they might as well have fun with it. He continued inserting tokens…
The commotion here was too loud, attracting everyone shopping nearby. Even the owners of the shops next door ran out to watch the excitement. They were surrounded layer after layer.
Some people even took out their phones to take pictures.
Inside a large arcade not far away, an employee ran in quickly and exclaimed: "Boss, it's bad! Something big has happened!"
"What could possibly happen!" a bald, middle-aged boss said slowly.
"The mall… someone in the mall is playing the claw machines…"
"It's just claw machines, what's the big deal? The more they play, the more money I make!"
"No, there's this guy who is incredibly good. He catches a doll with almost every token, and sometimes even two dolls with one token. He's about to empty out the machines!"
"Damn!" The middle-aged man's face changed abruptly. He took off running toward that direction!
