"You stinky girl, come back here! How dare you steal my boyfriend in front of me? I will make sure you know how powerful I am."
Even though the girl had left, Qiu Mengyun's resentment did not diminish in the slightest.
The girl who had already turned around and left turned around again after hearing Qiu Mengyun's words.
She looked at Xia Tian with a charming look and said, "Little brother, I forgot to tell you. I opened a bar on the street behind. If you can't sleep at night, you can go to me for a drink!"
After saying that, he blew a kiss at Xia Tian provocatively, then turned and left with a big laugh.
"Oh my! I'm so angry! How can this woman be so shameless? She knew you were my boyfriend, but she still dared to seduce you in front of me. It's really too much."
Unable to break free from Xia Tian's arms, Qiu Mengyun angrily punched him hard on the arms several times.
Xia Tian smiled and soothed, "Okay, don't be angry. Can't you see that the woman said that on purpose to make you angry?"
"The angrier you are, the happier she is. Maybe she's hiding somewhere right now, secretly watching us. If she saw you so angry, she would definitely be overjoyed."
"So, we must not be fooled and we must not get angry to cheer her up."
After hearing what Xia Tian said, Qiu Mengyun gradually calmed down.
She clenched her fists fiercely: "You're right, don't be angry. We must not let that woman laugh at us."
Seeing that she had calmed down, Xia Tian pointed at the claw machine and said, "Then let's continue grabbing dolls. Didn't she say we don't know how to do it? We'll grab a lot of dolls soon, and then bring them all to her store one day to give her a good slap in the face."
Qiu Mengyun asked warily, "What do you mean? Are you attracted to that vixen and want to use the excuse of catching dolls to find her in the store?"
Xia Tian was speechless at her imagination. Did she look that stupid? If he really wanted to go to the store to find that woman, couldn't he just go there secretly? Why did he have to bring her, a light bulb?
But he didn't dare to say it directly, and quickly explained: "Absolutely not, you misunderstood me. I said this because I wanted to take you to her to vent your anger after I caught enough dolls."
Qiu Mengyun nodded: "Okay! Then I will believe you this time."
"You better behave yourself, don't let me get away with it like you did just now."
Xia Tian nodded: "Don't worry! I just haven't played for a long time, so I'm a little rusty."
"Just stand by and watch carefully. I will definitely help you catch that frog this time."
After inserting the coin again, Xia Tian controlled the mechanical claw to grab the green frog.
But this time it was even worse than last time. The landing point of the claws was a little crooked, and after it went down, it caught nothing and came up empty-handed.
Qiu Mengyun glanced at Xia Tian suspiciously: "Are you sure you're really good at catching dolls?"
Xia Tian smiled awkwardly: "Ahem! Of course it's true. The reason why I didn't perform well this time is probably because I just had an argument with that couple, which affected my mood, so my mentality is a little unbalanced."
Qiu Mengyun: "Okay! Then take a few deep breaths first to calm down before continuing."
Xia Tian did as she said, took three sets of deep breaths, and then continued to play the coin-topping game.
A few seconds later, Xia Tian failed again as expected.
Qiu Mengyun: "How do you explain this time?"
Xia Tian: "Uh! This thing also has a certain probability. Although my skills are very good, this time I just happened to encounter the chance of not getting a doll."
After saying that, Xia Tian quickly stuffed a few more coins in.
fail.
Continue to insert coins, fail.
I inserted the coin again, but still failed.
…
Before long, half of the basket of coins that Xia Tian had just earned was used up.
However, there was still nothing in front of them, and they didn't catch a single doll.
The green frog was still lying in the claw machine with its mouth wide open, as if mocking summer's incompetence.
Qiu Mengyun couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and asked, "Can you do this? Why do I feel like you're even less capable than a rookie like me?"
"If you really don't know how, let me do it. With so many coins, I might have caught several dolls if I were to do it."
Xia Tian was also a little confused at this moment, and even beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
He clearly remembered that when he practiced on the claw machine in Chen Shaojie's house, he could catch it with just two clicks!
What’s going on today? Why can’t I catch any one after trying so many times?
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Oh! I see. I know what's going on."
Seeing his startled expression, Qiu Mengyun asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? What did you know? Why are you so excited?"
Xia Tian said excitedly: "I figured out why I couldn't catch the doll before."
Qiu Mengyun asked with interest: "What's the problem? Tell me quickly."
Xia Tian laughed and said, "Hehe, actually, there are several types of claw machines on the market. There is one type of claw machine where you have to use a hook to catch the doll."
"I guess this claw machine in front of us is the kind that requires you to cast a hook to catch it."
"Before, I always treated it as an ordinary machine and didn't use the hook-casting technique, so it was normal that I couldn't catch the doll."
Listening to Xia Tian's logical reasoning, Qiu Mengyun was also frightened.
"Ah? Really? This claw machine has so many details?"
Xia Tian nodded affirmatively. "Of course, this is all based on my experience. If you don't believe me, you can search on TikTok and there will definitely be tutorials on how to use a claw machine."
Qiu Mengyun took out her phone and searched a bit, then said excitedly, "Xia Tian, you really didn't lie to me. There are indeed many tutorials on how to cast a hook. It seems that the method you mentioned is real."
"Hurry, don't just stand there, try it!"
Xia Tian couldn't wait to put the coins in again, and then his right hand quickly shook the handle.
As he shook his wrist, the mechanical claw inside the claw machine also began to shake, and the amplitude became larger and larger.
After feeling that the shaking had reached its limit, Xia Tian suddenly pressed the start button.
While shaking continuously, the mechanical claw slowly landed.
Then, under the expectant eyes of Xia Tian and Qiu Mengyun, he firmly grasped the green frog doll.
The launch process was very stable and there was no decoupling.
Then came the most critical step. As long as the mechanical claw did not get unhooked when it moved horizontally, they would succeed.
Xia Tian and Qiu Mengyun both held their breath unconsciously, staring intently at the mechanical hand holding the green frog in the claw machine.
