Chapter 4 Egg Catcher

"Lin Shen, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me? Calling you Little Fifth Master is to give face to your Third Master and Fourth Master, do you really think of yourself as a master?" Seeing that Lin Shen ignored him, Qi Tianfu said with a snort.

"Today I really am the boss. Change them all into egg-catching coins for me." Lin Shen took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills from his pocket and slapped it on the counter.

"You think you're the boss with just this little money? Who are you looking down on? I don't want to do business with you, get out of here." Qi Tianfu was stunned at first, then he snorted coldly after he reacted.

"Don't you want to do it, or are you afraid that I will find out that there is something fishy about the egg-catching machine in your store and you dare not do it?" Lin Shen said calmly.

"Whose egg-catching machine are you saying has something fishy? My egg-catching machine has tight claws and the quality of the genetically modified eggs is high. You know nothing." Qi Tianfu flew into a rage when he heard this.

The two of them spoke so harshly that they had already attracted the attention of the customers in the store. Qi Tianfu naturally couldn't take the blame, and Lin Shen was indeed wrongly accusing him.

"If there is no foul play, what are you afraid of? Just exchange the coins." Lin Shen pressed the money with three fingers and pushed it in front of Qi Tianfu.

"Okay, if you want to catch them, I'll let you catch as much as you want." Qi Tianfu glared at Lin Shen fiercely, grabbed the money, took out a box of egg-catching coins and pushed it heavily in front of Lin Shen.

Lin Shen took the coin and walked directly to the egg-catching machine with the fire-based eggs without saying a word.

There was no one in front of the egg-catching machine at that moment, so Lin Shen inserted a coin and started to operate the joystick.

"Boss, Lin Shen is too arrogant. Do you want to loosen up your grip and let him know how dangerous society is?" The clerk came to Qi Tianfu and said in a low voice.

"No, I know that dog very well. He looks like a harmless sunny boy, but he is actually a bitch. He must have bad intentions when he came here." Qi Tianfu felt that he had seen through Lin Shen. He snorted coldly, "He deliberately irritated me when he came. If I loosen my claws, so many customers will see him spend so much money but can't catch anything. Plus, the dog barks randomly, it will definitely affect our business. Playing these little tricks in front of me is useless. Let him catch as much as he wants. How much can he catch? It's just advertising for us."

"It has to be you, boss." The store manager said with admiration.

"Stop flattering me and just watch here." Qi Tianfu scolded with a smile, walked out from behind the counter, stood behind Lin Shen and watched him catch the eggs.

Lin Shen knew that Qi Tianfu had come, but he didn't turn around to look at him. He just kept catching eggs.

I have to say that the quality of the base-mutated eggs in Qi Tianfu's egg-catching machine is indeed better than those in his store. There are a total of eight base-mutated eggs in this egg-catching machine. Although they are all steel-based base-mutated eggs, steel-based base-mutated eggs also have their advantages and disadvantages.

Strength, speed, hardness and toughness are important statistics for measuring mutant creatures. Although the highest value for steel creatures is ten, the data of most steel creatures cannot reach ten. It is considered good if it can reach eight or nine, which can be regarded as a small top-notch product.

Most of the mutated eggs used in Lin Shen's shop are iron-horned beasts. The speed of an adult iron-horned beast can reach about eight, and the strength is about seven, but the hardness is only more than five points, and the toughness is a little higher, only more than six points. Such values can only be considered medium and lower among steel creatures.

The mutated egg in this egg-catching machine is a steel-armored beast. Although its speed is a little weaker, only more than five points, its strength and hardness are both above eight, and some can even reach nine. Its toughness is also above seven, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the iron-horned beast.

The size of an adult Steel-Armored Beast is comparable to that of an elephant, but its weight far exceeds that of an elephant. It can be used as a mount or a combat pet. It is also very powerful in transporting large equipment and supplies, making it a very practical pet.

In fact, many bases are built with materials from the Hundred-Refined Steel Beast, which is much more valuable than the Iron-Horned Beast.

Different egg-grabbing machines require different numbers of coins. This egg-grabbing machine that can transform eggs into eggs made from the Hundred Refinements of Steel Beast requires four coins to play once, which is equivalent to forty yuan for a handful. It is considered a relatively expensive machine in Qi Tianfu's store.

Lin Shen inserted coins and tried several times. Every time, after the gene-mutated egg was caught, the egg fell down when the claw moved towards the exit. He tried five times but still got nothing.

"Xiao Wuzi, you have such bad luck." Qi Tianfu teased from the side.

"People without ability need to rely on luck." Without even looking at Qi Tianfu, Lin Shen threw four more coins in and started the egg-catching machine.

"Tsk, what else do you rely on if not luck? The blessing of the Jade Emperor?" Qi Tianfu said with a sneer.

"It depends on your skills." Lin Shen said as he shook the joystick repeatedly. In Xuanniao Base, Lin Shen was the first person to open an egg-catching shop. Before him, few people in Xuanniao Base had played with this thing. Qi Tianfu also followed the trend and opened a shop. He had never played with it before. In terms of understanding of egg-catching machines, Qi Tianfu was much worse.

After five tests, Lin Shen has figured out what gear the egg-catching machine is set to.

Indeed, the claws here are tighter than those in Lin Shen’s store. For ordinary people, it is still very difficult to catch them. According to the set probability, it takes about twenty times to catch a genetic mutation egg.

But that only refers to the probability of an ordinary person catching it. The reason why Lin Shen adjusted his claws to be so loose that he couldn't even catch the genetic eggs in many cases was that he was not guarding against ordinary customers, but those egg-catching experts.

Lin Shen had studied it for a while before opening his shop, and had also watched many videos of egg-catching experts. He knew that this thing was not just based on luck. With the tightness of the claws like this, it was too easy for an expert to catch the genetically modified eggs.

Although Lin Shen himself is not a very good master, he has been playing this before opening the store. He opened the store because he likes to play, so naturally he has some skills.

The claw in the machine also swayed rhythmically as the joystick was shaken. At this time, the claw was just above the exit, with the exit below it, and was not aimed at any mutant egg.

After the claw swung to a certain angle, Lin Shen suddenly pressed the grab button, and the claw fell down diagonally, just grabbing a genetic mutation egg next to it.

The genetically modified egg was caught and when it reached the top, it fell down before the claws could move.

However, the claw was originally located above the exit, and the fallen genetically modified egg fell directly into the exit and rolled out.

"Swing your claws!" Qi Tianfu's face changed slightly.

He followed Lin Shen's lead and opened a shop purely to squeeze Lin Shen. He was not interested in catching eggs, but he knew some techniques like shaking claws. He just didn't expect that Lin Shen could do this.

"Can you catch eggs this way?" The young man who was playing the egg-catching game on the machine next to him widened his eyes and couldn't help but shout out.

Lin Shen put the mutated eggs into his pocket, turned to look at Qi Tianfu and said with a smile: "Xiao Fuzi, I opened the egg catching shop because I like to play with it, and you have no interest in these things at all. You rely on luck to catch eggs, while I rely on skills."

After saying that, Lin Shen threw in four more coins and continued to catch.

It was the same operation again. The claws swung rhythmically and fell down diagonally again, grabbing a genetically modified egg.

The same scene, familiar picture, the genetically modified eggs fell into the export warehouse again.

The tightness of the claws was not difficult for Lin Shen to master. Although he could not hit the target every time, he could still hit the target about 50% to 60% of the time.

After a short while, Lin Shen caught four genetic mutation eggs, and almost all the customers in the store were attracted to watch.

Every time Lin Shen caught a genetically modified egg, the crowd watching would exclaim in surprise.

"So you can play catching eggs like this?"

"I played it so lonely before, so this is how you catch eggs?"

"..."

Qi Tianfu's face turned as dark as if he had been sprayed with ink. He gritted his teeth but couldn't utter a word in rebuttal.
