The clown turned around, revealing a machine behind him.

When Xiao Tangqiu and the other two saw the machine, they were all shocked—wasn't that a claw machine?!

That’s right, the “Lucky Egg Machine” that the clown mentioned is clearly a claw machine, and it is the most common type in supermarkets, but it is not filled with dolls, but colorful eggs.

The ultimate move at the end of this hidden level... is actually a doll grabber?!

So disillusioned! Are you kidding me?!

Xiao Tangqiu couldn't help but ask the clown, "How do you play this lucky egg machine? Aren't you asking us to grab the eggs inside?"

The clown smiled and said, "Don't worry, lucky players! I'll reveal the rules of the hidden game now. Your task is to catch the Easter eggs in the lucky Easter egg machine. The conditions I'm giving you are very generous. Everyone has three chances..."

Xiao Tangqiu: "..."

As expected! It really is an Easter egg hunt!

But this kind of thing is not worth being relieved about! Everyone knows that catching dolls is a game that relies heavily on luck. With his luck, can he really catch the Easter egg within three times?

However, this was not the end. The clown continued with a smile, "Of course, if some of you are unlucky, you can also get Easter eggs by trading with your companions..."

Xiao Tangqiu's heart skipped a beat. What did this mean? Could he trade with his friends for Easter eggs?

"I won't stop you from transferring the Easter egg to someone else," the clown said suggestively. "...Of course, you can also steal it."

Xiao Tangqiu instantly understood the clown's intentions. This was a divisive move, definitely a divisive move! When the last survivors had come here after enduring untold hardships and life-or-death trials, they naturally resorted to violence against their former companions, instigated by the clown's words, in order to fight for their last glimmer of hope. Even if some people didn't actively want to fight for others' Easter eggs, they would always be on guard against others stealing their own. The relationship between people was full of vigilance and suspicion.

Xiao Tangqiu's heart sank gradually, but when he applied this situation to the three of them, he felt as if something was wrong... Not to mention him and Tang Mianmian, they had risked their lives to save each other so many times. If they were afraid of death, none of them would be alive now. Even the only otaku at the scene who was the least familiar with them, this guy did look like the kind of person who would snatch the Easter eggs from others in order to survive, but the problem was, with this guy's luck, did he really need to snatch the Easter eggs from others?

Tang Mianmian obviously thought so too. The corner of his mouth twitched and he couldn't help laughing dryly.

The otaku looked a little uneasy, but after he looked up at the lucky egg machine, he felt relieved. Isn't gambling on luck his strong point?

Seeing that the three people's reactions were not as he had imagined and they were instantly wary and alert of their companions, the clown's smile grew even wider. "Okay, now the game begins! Each person has three chances. You three will take turns. So who's going to go first?"

Xiao Tangqiu glanced at Tang Mianmian and the otaku, and said helplessly, "I'll go first."

The otaku immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew he was lucky, he didn't want to be the first person to try something new. Tang Mianmian made a cheering gesture to Xiao Tangqiu.

Xiao Tangqiu also knew that for something like a claw machine, it would be easier to start after observing it for a while and finding the pattern. However, if no one was willing to be the first to go, they would have to wait here until dawn. It would also be good to practice in person. After all, there were still three chances. He wouldn't be so unlucky that he couldn't catch it even if he was given three chances.

Before Xiao Tangqiu officially started catching dolls, Tang Mianmian pulled Xiao Tangqiu aside and taught him the "little tricks of catching dolls" with a mysterious look on his face.

"Don't worry! I'm an expert at catching dolls! I've been doing it since kindergarten, and I've caught at least nine hundred of them! You can't go wrong by listening to me!"

Xiao Tangqiu did know that Tang Mianmian liked to catch dolls. This guy would do it whenever he had free time and often showed him pictures of the dolls he caught... Oh, right! How could he have forgotten that this guy was an expert at catching dolls?

Xiao Tangqiu's eyes suddenly lit up: "You finally encountered your strong point? It seems that our luck is not too bad!"

Tang Mianmian chuckled, "Okay, okay! I'll teach you a few tricks for catching dolls! I guarantee you'll definitely catch one within three tries! Claw machines all have set probabilities, usually between 3% and 4%. Of course, we have to exclude unscrupulous or conscientious shop owners who adjust the probability to a lower or higher level. Generally, you'll catch one every 20 to 30 tries. But that doesn't mean you won't be able to catch one again within 20 or 30 tries after catching it once, nor does it mean you'll definitely catch one after 20 or 30 tries, because the distribution of probabilities isn't so absolute and even. Otherwise, people would see through their tricks. If the probability is there, you'll definitely catch it. That's called a strong claw."

Xiao Tangqiu's mouth twitched: "Twenty or thirty times? Then we should just lie down and wait to die."

Tang Mianmian continued, "The claws outside of the strong claws are called weak claws. The strong claws are 100% guaranteed to catch the doll. There's nothing much to say about it, and there's nothing to show for it. But each of us only has three chances, so there's a high probability that we won't be able to catch the strong claws. We can only work on the weak claws. There are generally a few techniques for catching dolls with weak claws."

"First, it's a claw swing. The so-called claw swing is to calculate the amplitude of the claw's swing and then lower the claw at the moment it swings towards the hole. At this time, the claw will swing back according to the pendulum theory to retract and grab the doll. Then, using the weak claw setting, it successfully throws the doll towards the hole."

Xiao Tangqiu was already confused: "Weak claw setting? What is this?"

"The weak grip setting means that when the machine detects that you have caught the doll, it will release its grip at the moment of ascent, causing the doll to fall. So in many cases, we clearly caught the doll, but because the machine released its grip midway, the doll could not reach the hole. Some unscrupulous shop owners will also set it to swing inside."
