It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 399 [048] Catch the Doll
Qin Jiandan saw a rickshaw parked not far away. It was the same kind of rickshaw that Camel Xiangzi had pulled, except that the "Xiangzi" in Huanshicheng was a guy with prosthetic knee joints and protruding prosthetic eyes with night vision capabilities.

Facing Mu Yue who was hesitating in front of the claw machine, Qin Jiandan promised:

"If you dare to grab the doll, I will pull you in a rickshaw and run around the circular market! Isn't this more embarrassing than you? I don't care at all!"

Mu Yue was a little surprised: "You are the young master of the Night Dragon Club, but you are doing such rough work. Aren't you afraid of being talked about by others and losing your prestige?"

Qin Jiandan stuffed the exchanged coins into Mu Yue's hand and said, "What rough work? Being able to take my wife for a ride is a very meticulous job for me! The prestige of a leader depends on leading by example and leading everyone to victory, not on being high and mighty, boasting, and being out of touch with the masses!"

"Haha! I got it!" After paying 10 coins, the runny-nosed little boy finally caught a strange frog doll. He excitedly went to show it off to his father.

Seeing that she was the only one left in front of the four claw machines, and with a handful of coins stuffed into her by Qin Jiandan, Mu Yue hardened her heart, put in two coins, piled the remaining coins on the machine, and then reached out to grab the joystick.

"Squeaky-"

The old mechanical claw began to move horizontally. Qin Jiandan stared at the policewoman who was concentrating on the game with interest. That enthusiasm seemed to belong to a little girl who had not grown up.

Unfortunately, the robot claw failed to clamp the frog doll and released it halfway. Mu Yue pouted a little annoyed, but quickly cancelled this immature micro-expression.

There are almost no good-looking dolls in the machine, only this frog is a bit ugly and cute.

Mu Yue started her second attempt. This time she tilted her head slightly to observe from all angles. She thought she was confident, but the robotic claw still got loose halfway.

The stall owner recognized the customers in front of him as the young master and his wife. He wanted to give a hint, but before he opened his mouth, he saw Qin Jiandan shaking his finger at him.

The general meaning is: Don't talk, my wife is embarrassed to wear a police uniform to catch dolls, and she will be even more shy if you talk.

Mu Yue had already tried grabbing for the third and fourth time, but the results were not as good as the previous two times.

From the fifth time on, Mu Yue began to calculate the movement trajectory and strength of the claws in her mind, trying to find the best grasping point. However, no matter how hard she tried, the instability of the claws made her efforts go to waste.

When the 11th failure came, Mu Yue seemed a little frustrated and almost hit the operating lever with his fist, but he finally held back.

Qin Jiandan felt that her father-in-law's gambling addiction might have been slightly passed on to her daughter:
"Mu Yue, it might be a problem with this machine. How about trying the one on the far left? The little boy just caught the doll, maybe that machine will be easier to catch."

Mu Yue looked to the left, feeling a little tempted, but after thinking about it for a while, she shook her head:
"I'd better catch the one over here..."

Mu Yue is a bit of a germaphobe. The little boy just now had a runny nose the whole time. Maybe Mu Yue was afraid that there might be dirt left on the machine.

After trying several more times, every time Mu Yue (and Qin Jiandan) thought they were going to succeed, the mechanical claw would always fail at the critical moment. The coins on the machine were getting fewer and fewer, and Qin Jiandan was ready to exchange them for the second time.

From the reflection of the claw machine's glass, Qin Jiandan noticed that the sheriff's expression became quite aggrieved, as if he was crying and complaining, "I finally got the chance to play, but was bullied by the machine."

"There must be something wrong with this machine," Qin Jiandan said, "How about changing to the one next to it?"

At this time, Mu Yue's unyielding character and rare childishness mixed together, and she secretly activated the "super vision" function of her prosthetic right eye.

"Super Vision" uses advanced geometric calculations to accurately analyze the trajectory of an object under the influence of complex factors. In Mu Yue's eyes, the best grasping point of the doll and the best release point of the robot claw are instantly displayed in a clear prompt.

"Squeak--Pala"

This time, Mu Yue's operation became extremely precise. The robot claw that had failed many times before finally fulfilled its mission, tightly grasped the doll, and successfully took it out of the claw machine.

Mu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of her mouth slightly raised to show pride, but there was a hint of shame in her eyes.

You cheated to catch the doll! Although you are not the only one with prosthetic eyes, using your "fully intelligent dynamic adaptive" high-tech prosthetic eyes to catch dolls is really an overkill!
Wearing half a police uniform to catch dolls was not in line with Mu Yue's style. Now he used super vision in anger, which made her feel very uneasy.

Just when Mu Yue was about to admit that she had cheated and was planning to spend extra money to buy the doll, Qin Jiandan said:

"There is an unspoken rule for claw machines here. If you fail to catch a doll 10 times in a row, you can ask the stall owner to adjust the position. If you catch one after 12 attempts, it is considered a 'bottom line'. The cost of this doll is very low."

The stall owner nodded repeatedly, and Mu Yue gave up the idea of ​​paying extra.

Paying is a small matter, admitting that the doll was caught using super vision is a bit embarrassing. Mu Yue didn't want to admit it in front of Qin Jiandan. It was one thing for Qin Jiandan to guess it himself, and it was another to discuss it with him openly.

"Do you want to continue?" Qin Jiandan was ready to continue exchanging change, but Mu Yue took out the doll that fell from the machine outlet and said with disappointment: "No, this is not the type I like."

Looking closely, it turned out that what Mu Yue caught using her "super vision" was not a frog doll, but a knockoff of Mickey Mouse, with a strange skeleton, dislocated facial features, and a very demonic expression.

He was so busy calculating the spatial structure and the movement of objects that he didn't even notice which doll he had caught! How pitiful of the sheriff!
A little girl who was eating glowing ice cream passed by and seemed very curious about the Mickey Mouse in Mu Yue's hand. Mu Yue took the opportunity to give the Mickey Mouse to her, in return for a "Thank you, sister!"

Although there were some twists and turns, Mu Yue seemed to be in a more cheerful mood after playing the claw machine. She collected the few coins left on the machine and returned them to Qin Jiandan.

Going further ahead, we will see the rickshaw that Qin Jiandan mentioned earlier. The "Cyber ​​Xiangzi" with prosthetic knee joints and protruding prosthetic eyes asked enthusiastically:
"Young Master, would you like to go for a walk with the Sheriff? It's only 20 bucks for two people, very cheap!"

Mu Yue looked at Qin Jiandan's expression and found that Qin Jiandan had no intention of backing down, so she took out a banknote from her wallet and handed it to the rickshaw owner:

"Here's 100 bucks. We'll rent your car for half an hour, but we don't need you to pull the car. Is that enough?"

"Cyber ​​Xiangzi" said happily: "Enough! Quite enough! I'll wait here. When the young master is done using the car, you can ask any guard to return it!"

After giving Qin Jiandan a meaningful smile, Mu Yue moved lightly and stepped onto the pedal of the rickshaw.

The police trousers on her legs were well-cut and fit her body perfectly. As she raised her long legs, the smooth lines of her legs showed a sculptural beauty in the tight trouser material.

With an inaudible "hmm", as if revealing some kind of comfort, the policewoman sat firmly on the rickshaw, her posture dignified, her legs together, her trouser line forming a smooth straight line from knee to ankle. Like a noble knight, she did not lose her dignity even in a leisurely rickshaw.

"Are you really willing to pull the cart?"

Before Mu Yue could finish her words, Qin Jiandan stood in front of the rickshaw, gripped the handlebars with both hands, accelerated in zero seconds, and pulled the rickshaw with extraordinary ease.

The sheriff, who felt the push on her back, felt a little embarrassed. She hurriedly said, "Don't go to the crowded market. Just run along the dirt road for a while!"

Eh? Even though she's been giving me the cold shoulder lately, my wife is still worried that I'll lose face in front of everyone? She's really a softie!

This rickshaw is used for tourist attractions in tourist areas. It has a very extravagant appearance, with countless LED lights inlaid on the sides of the wheels. As the wheels rotate, these lights change into colorful patterns in the night.

In order to protect against the acid rain that may fall at any time, a red silk umbrella canopy is propped up above the body of the rickshaw. The lower edge of the umbrella canopy is decorated with golden tassels. It sways gently as the rickshaw bumps and shakes, providing elegant shelter for the passengers while also showing off its luxurious colors.

Considering the roughness of the outer city roads, the rickshaw was equipped with two headlights. When Qin Jiandan pulled the rickshaw forward quickly, the headlights turned on automatically, illuminating the road under his feet and in front of him.

The warm lights draw a bright track in the night, ensuring driving safety and allowing passengers to enjoy the night view along the way with greater peace of mind.

Although at Mu Yue's request, the rickshaw gradually left the market and headed towards the darkness further away, Qin Jiandan actually didn't care about other people's eyes at all. If passers-by or guards saw the young master pulling the rickshaw, Qin Jiandan would greet them cheerfully:

"Work hard! Haven't you seen me pulling a rickshaw to earn money for the special zone construction fund?"

Because the car body was too bright, the light inside the car seemed particularly dim in comparison, and passers-by could not see clearly who the mysterious passenger in the car was in a hurry.

Looking at the car that passed by and went away quickly, everyone speculated that the mysterious passenger must be very rich. It is true that money can make the devil work and money can make the young master pull the cart!

"Slow down! No need to go so fast! Watch out for the rocks!"

Mu Yue was sitting in this very cool rickshaw, but she was not focused on enjoying it. She was still worried about the unevenness of the road, fearing that Qin Jiandan would pull the rickshaw too roughly and damage the tool that the owner relied on for his livelihood.

Qin Jiandan's vest did not cover the entire black tights. Mu Yue's eyes looked through the golden tassels at the bottom edge of the red umbrella cover and watched Qin Jiandan's back as he pulled the cart.

As the rickshaw jolted slightly, she could vaguely see the movement of Qin Jiandan's back muscles under the tights. Every push and pull made the back lines more distinct, like the undulations of mountains, full of power.

Qin Jiandan's hips are particularly prominent during the exercise, and every step shows her tight and elastic muscles. The propulsion of the legs is transmitted through the frame of the rickshaw, allowing the passengers on the rickshaw to feel the orderly rhythm of the steady load.

"It's still too fast. If you continue like this, I will have to pay the car owner for extra wear and tear." Mu Yue couldn't help but remind him, "You've been in meetings and assigning tasks the whole afternoon. Aren't you tired?"

"Only the brain gets tired from attending meetings. A martial artist's muscles need to be exercised every day!" Qin Jiandan answered with a steady breath, "Besides, I have my wife in the car, so how could I feel tired?"

Qin Jiandan kept mentioning "wife" every other sentence, and Mu Yue had already given up trying to correct him...
