Xiao Tangqiu continued to be confused: "Inner dumping? What is this?"

"By tilting the claws at an angle and releasing the claws, the doll will be swung deeper into the claw machine, making it increasingly difficult for you to catch it," Tang Mianmian explained, then changed the subject. "However, swiping the claws is too difficult for beginners. It usually takes hundreds of times of practice to achieve even a small degree of proficiency. It's unlikely that you'll be able to learn swiping the claws in a short period of time, so there are two other methods: clamping the claws and hanging the claws.

Xiao Tangqiu had an expression of "What is this? What is that? What is that?"

"The so-called clamping claw means finding the right angle when lowering the claw, so that the claw can grasp the doll in the best area. Generally speaking, it is the smallest part of the doll, such as the head, neck, shoulders, waist, legs and crotch. The small area has less force, and there is a certain probability that it can fool the machine into thinking that it has not grasped the doll and release its claws halfway."

"Hanging the claws is also about finding the right angle. When you lower the claws, you should hang the label or a part of the doll on the claws. Even if you release the claws, it won't fall off and will stay on the claws and return to the hole."

Xiao Tangqiu's eyes went blank. "Why are you so particular about catching a doll?... Then I'd rather lie down and wait for death!"

Tang Mianmian reached out and patted Xiao Tangqiu on the shoulder, saying earnestly, "Come on!"

Although Xiao Tangqiu listened to Tang Mianmian's long and rambling talk, he was still confused and bewildered in the end. Fortunately, he was not someone who had never played a claw machine before. Although his experience was not as rich as Tang Mianmian's, he still knew the basic operations.

He took a deep breath and stood in front of the Lucky Egg machine.

This lucky egg machine looks no different from an ordinary claw machine. Both the joystick and buttons are exactly the same as those in the supermarket, except that the items inside the claw machine are replaced with colorful eggs.

Looking through the glass of the Easter egg machine, the colorful eggs inside are about the size of an adult man's palm. Although they are relatively large in size, their oval shape makes them slippery and difficult to get into.

Fortunately, there were many Easter eggs in the Easter egg machine, and there were also several Easter eggs near the cave entrance. Because they were close, they should be easier to catch. Xiao Tangqiu stared at the green Easter egg closest to the cave entrance for a while, and finally made up his mind to catch it!

Xiao Tangqiu tried desperately to recall the techniques that Tang Mianmian had told him, but once he started catching the dolls, he became so nervous that his mind went blank. In the end, he put down his claws in a daze, but ended up catching nothing.

...didn't catch anything.

"Okay, next one!"

The clown said with a smile.

Xiao Tangqiu sighed. Although he didn't expect to catch it on the first try, he had to at least touch the edge of the Easter egg! At this rate, there was no way he would catch the Easter egg within three attempts!

Tang Mianmian reached out and patted Xiao Tangqiu on the shoulder, then rolled up her sleeves with a confident look on her face: "Next, watch me!"

He walked to the lucky egg machine with great confidence, and manipulated the joystick of the machine with skillful movements. Then he kept looking for angles forward, backward, left and right, and aimed at a red egg. Finally, he lowered his claws with full confidence - the claws really caught the egg smoothly, but loosened the claws at the moment of rising, and the egg fell.

Tang Mianmian didn't catch it in the end, but his situation was much better than Xiao Tangqiu's, at least he caught the Easter egg.

"Okay, next one!"

The clown said with a smile.

The last one in the first round was naturally the otaku. He took a deep breath and walked to the lucky egg machine. His posture was not as professional as Tang Mianmian's, and was even very unfamiliar and clumsy. It was obvious that he had rarely or never played claw machine.

The otaku's expression was very complicated. He was full of confidence in his luck, but he was also full of doubts about his skills because he had never played this kind of game equipment. Especially after hearing Tang Mianmian tell Xiao Tangqiu about a lot of catching doll skills... His expression was sometimes confident and sometimes self-doubting, which was quite contradictory.

He awkwardly operated the joystick of the Easter egg machine, allowing his claw to rest crookedly on top of a blue Easter egg.

Tang Mianmian whispered to Xiao Tangqiu, "It's definitely impossible to capture it from this angle! Unless he..."

The otaku hesitated and lowered his claws. The claws fell and grabbed the blue egg. Without letting go, he steadily sent the blue egg into the cave entrance.

The Lucky Egg Machine immediately flashed with colorful lights, and a cheerful and joyful background music sounded: "Congratulations! You caught it! Congratulations! You caught it!"

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian were stunned for a moment, and the otaku was also stunned for several seconds before he reacted. He quickly squatted down and took the blue egg out of the hole.

He stared at the blue egg in disbelief, and after several seconds he became excited: "I caught it! I actually caught it!"

Tang Mianmian then continued her previous words blankly: "...Unless he encounters a strong claw."

"Holy crap! He actually got to meet a strong claw! This guy must have been the illegitimate son of an European emperor in his previous life! He even got to meet a strong claw!"

Tang Mianmian was practically in tears. He'd painstakingly mastered the art of claw machine for over a decade, yet in the end, he couldn't even compare to a geek trying it for the first time. What was wrong with him? It was just that he wasn't as lucky as the other guy! It was all wrong from the start, after all!

Xiao Tangqiu was once again shocked by the otaku's luck. He and Tang Mianmian hadn't caught it, but the otaku had caught it all at once, and even happened to run into a strong claw. What kind of probability was this? What kind of luck was this?

"Congratulations to the first lucky player who caught the lucky egg!"

The clown smiled and said, "You can choose to give up the next two chances, or you can choose to keep trying!"

After the otaku recovered from the joy of catching an Easter egg on the first try, he immediately asked the clown, "What would happen if I caught a few more? Would there be any benefits?"

The clown smiled and said, "Maybe, maybe not."
