A Snow Biscuit
Chapter 126 Why Are You So Good to Me?
Shen Xiao Ran didn't react for a moment, looking at Chen Yuan in astonishment, not understanding what he meant.
Xia Hai's first Lina Bell?
It sounded like he was going to debut as a pi tao ren (peach kernel - slang for someone good at seduction).
"Go, go, go!"
After learning that the claw machine store could redeem Lina Bell dolls, Xiao Mi Li immediately called her brother, afraid that others would grab them first.
But looking at everyone else, it seemed there wasn't much competition.
After all, the most anyone had was only twenty-odd dolls, and they had to give up due to insufficient funds.
But she was different; she had an all-powerful brother who could fulfill all her wishes. Moreover, any problem that money could solve wasn't a problem at all!
But…
Watching her brother fail several times in a row, not even getting close to the hole, Xiao Mi Li frowned slightly, her tone gradually fading, and asked, "Brother, is it that difficult?"
"Hiss…"
Her brother usually only clawed a few dolls when he took girls out, and clawing dolls was just a small part of the process of going from the movie theater to the shopping mall and then to the hotel. How could he be a claw machine expert?
So, he could only bite the bullet and say, "It shouldn't be that bad. As long as there are enough models, we can use the brute-force method… it's just a matter of time."
"I don't understand, but go, brother!" Xiao Mi Li clenched her fist, cheering her brother on with all her might.
And looking at her sister's bright smile that illuminated the entire store, he really felt like an invincible good brother.
He even had a girlfriend who was jealous before, saying that he spoiled his sister too much, which made her a little unhappy, and then his girlfriend was gone.
Could a mere woman compare to his sister, his family?
"Don't worry, I'll definitely get it for you." Giving an okay sign, the brother was full of confidence.
And in the store, some other little girls cast envious glances, all fantasizing about having such a rich… no, a doting brother.
This was the sense of fulfillment he wanted.
His B (slang for pretending to be cool) was about to increase in price.
Chen Yuan had some competitive thoughts in his heart, more or less.
Of course, it wasn't about showing off and attracting girls' attention.
Rather, he also brought a sister, and it would be really unpleasant to be outdone at this time.
"Are you…" Thinking of Chen Yuan's words just now, Shen Xiao Ran said softly, "Are you going to use 'that'?"
This 'that' had a very knowing flavor.
That's right, I'm going to use 'that'.
"Don't worry, it won't affect anything." Chen Yuan nodded.
Then, he inserted a coin and moved the robotic arm.
Although he couldn't see the progress of the grab, nor could he increase the success rate, he had just discovered that the power grip also had its tricks.
He had watched some claw machine tutorials online before, but he couldn't prove it before. But after seeing the progress with his own eyes today, he found that it was indeed useful.
After lowering the robotic arm over the doll he wanted to grab, he stopped it from swinging and let it become stable. He didn't press the grab button actively, but waited until the countdown reached 0 and it automatically lowered. At the moment it clamped, he started tapping the red button non-stop, like playing Audition!
Then, visibly, in two seconds, the progress bar was directly pulled to 100 for the power grip.
He stopped in time.
At this time, the robotic arm steadily controlled the smiling doll that was grabbed by the head.
Sure enough, there was a mechanism.
This grab looked stable!
It didn't shake at all.
Then, above the plastic board opening, it opened its claws and, with a plop, fell into the exit.
Easy!
When Chen Yuan bent down to pick up the doll, Shen Xiao Ran suddenly made an exaggerated smile like Xiao Mi Li, and praised him sweetly, "Ah, brother, you're so amazing, you got it in one go."
This cute girly voice came out, and a boy next to her, who came with his older sister and looked like he was half-dead, looked over, his eyes full of envy.
Bro, your sister is so cute, and she's quieter than that curly-haired sister.
Can I trade my sister for yours?
What, no?
Then I won't trade, I'll just give you my sister.
And because Shen Xiao Ran wasn't as noisy and didn't speak loudly, she didn't attract too much attention.
However, innate sensitivity was a common characteristic of girls at this age. No one understood flaunting better than Xiao Mi Li. She immediately saw that the other girl was provoking her.
Then, the two of them locked eyes silently, and sparks seemed to fly in the air.
If there weren't people around, the two of them would have started a loli fight.
Of course, if that really happened, Shen Xiao Ran would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Because Xiao Mi Li could run after hitting someone.
"Brother, hurry up and grab one, it's already ten coins."
"Grabbing, grabbing…"
Hearing the other side getting anxious, Shen Xiao Ran said娇滴滴 (jiāo dī dī - sweetly and coquettishly), "Brother, I want that Lina Bell, although I don't really like it that much, it would be nice to have it as one of the gifts you gave me in my room."
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely get it."
Obviously, the two groups didn't have a single conversation, but it seemed that every sentence was spoken to the other.
Competition had begun just like that.
The clerk and landlady behind the counter was thrilled.
However, she was very surprised.
How did my scam to hook college students end up with two sister-控 (mèi kòng - siscons - people who are obsessed with their younger sisters)?
But that rich guy has such strong spending power, and there's a claw machine god next to him to stimulate him, he'll definitely氪 (kè - top up/recharge) another thousand today sooner or later.
I have to say, the wheelchair sister's brother knows a few things, all operations that can increase the probability of a successful grab, such as natural dangling and frantically pressing the grab button.
Quite knowledgeable.
And after successfully grabbing the third doll in a row, the smile on her face became a little unnatural.
Of course, it wasn't that she couldn't afford to play.
Rather, the success rate of the power grip was too high!
These few grabs were obviously a bit too strong.
Finally, on the fourth grab, it returned to normal. It just lifted it up and hadn't moved far before it fell down.
But Chen Yuan wasn't afraid of being considered a cheat and deliberately making a mistake. Instead, it was because he accidentally pressed the button one too many times while frantically pressing the buttons, exceeding the power grip progress and resetting it to zero.
"Let's change to another machine, these few positions aren't very good."
Also, to avoid the clerk thinking that the machine was malfunctioning, Chen Yuan took the initiative to change to the side, and used the same technique as before, easily grabbing them as if reaching into a bag to take something out.
But even with the power grip, there would still be situations where it bounced out when entering the hole, so Chen Yuan's current success rate was about sixty percent, a super-high level of taking six dolls away with twenty coins.
It was also because of his success that everyone started imitating his technique, manually speeding up the power grip progress.
Pa pa pa pa pa…
For a moment, it seemed like he had returned to those nightmare years of 08 and 09, which every black internet cafe had to experience, pi li pa la (onomatopoeia for the sound of rapid tapping)!
Then everyone also discovered that this did indeed increase the hit rate a bit, probably increasing it to about ten percent…
But it still couldn't compare to Chen Yuan's six out of ten grabs.
This guy was the god of claw machines!
"This…"
Seeing the increasing number of dolls in the other side's trolley, Xiao Mi Li panicked, and was very disappointed when she saw the five dolls that her brother had grabbed with several hundred coins.
And at this time, the most hateful thing was that Shen Xiao Ran actually showed that mocking squinting smile!
"Brother, hurry up,拍拍拍 (pāi pāi pāi - tap tap tap) too!" Xiao Mi Li urged anxiously.
"Tapping, tapping…"
"It fell down again, almost there again." Xiao Mi Li was anxious.
Honestly, the dolls weren't important anymore now.
No, they were still important.
But the key wasn't becoming the first person in Xia Hai to get Lina Bell, but to win against this little brat who appeared out of nowhere!
But obviously, her brother was too useless.
Her brother, besides being rich, was useless…
………
"…Congratulations, you really are a master of claw machines."
Looking at this man, who only spent two hundred coins and less than half an hour to get Lina Bell, and even grabbed two extra dolls, the clerk and landlady smiled very reluctantly.
The hunger marketing to stimulate consumption ended as soon as it started!
And because this man brought the correct claw machine technique to the customers, today's costs were higher than ever…
Damn siscon, you ruined everything!
"Ran Ran, hold this, let's go."
Placing the big Lina Bell in the hands of Shen Xiao Ran, who was sitting in the wheelchair, the two of them left the store like victors.
However, before they had gone far, that rich guy followed and took the initiative to stop Chen Yuan, saying, "Buddy, how much for that doll? Sell it to me."
"Brother."
Just after the man finished speaking, Shen Xiao Ran called out to Chen Yuan, had him lower his body, covered her mouth with her hand, and said softly, "That doll is worth two thousand, his psychological price is probably three thousand, but even if we ask for four thousand…"
Obviously, not only could Xiao Mi Li not use money to destroy their relationship, but she would also be ruthlessly scammed by the little merchant, Shen Xiao Ran.
"Is it your sister who wants it?" Chen Yuan asked.
Hearing this, the boy sighed and said, "This child is very headstrong, and everything has to be satisfied, otherwise she'll throw a tantrum."
"Is she that bad?" Shen Xiao Ran asked with a gleeful expression.
"Not that bad…" The boy said with a helpless smile, "We're from a single-parent family, and my dad is busy with work, so I'm the one who takes care of her. She's completely spoiled by me."
"But I can't decide this, after all, the doll is Ran Ran's."
Chen Yuan glanced at Shen Xiao Ran and said with a faint smile, "Well, I spoil her a lot too."
"…"
Shen Xiao Ran, who was originally thinking that this money could be given to Chen Yuan to thank him for accompanying her, was 'criticized' so openly.
She, who was already so well-behaved and sensible, was actually described as 'spoiled'.
But being slandered like this, she didn't feel angry or wronged at all, but a kind of ultimate enjoyment that was so refreshing that it spread to every part of her body!
This blatant favoritism.
This 'your sister isn't any more precious than mine' retort.
This 'who says only rich kids can be princesses' soul-searching question…
Ahhhhh!
Is this what a sweet and doting novel feels like?
Qidian Female Channel, activate!
"Then what do you say?" The boy looked at Shen Xiao Ran and asked.
What to say?
Shen Xiao Ran had thought about a refreshing novel move just now: Want it? Have her come and beg me herself.
Then, fiercely reject her in front of that little fool!
Let her taste the taste of defeat.
However, she felt that she had grown up and was past the age where she had to be passionate, bloody, and straightforward. Occasionally, she also felt that this warm and comforting feeling was very good.
