One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

Chen Duo froze, looking at the coin in her hand: "I...I don't know how."

"If you don't know how, you learn. No one is born knowing how."

Zhang Tianyi looked at Chen Duo, his tone earnest yet gentle:

"Girl, you must remember this."

What others give you is ultimately theirs.

"Whether it's this frog or your future life."

"If you want something, don't wait for others to give it to you, and don't wait for fate to arrange it."

"Reach out and grab it yourself."

"Once you catch it, that's what truly belongs to you."

Chen Duo gripped the coin in her hand tightly.

She looked at the sad frog in the glass case, then at the encouraging gazes around her.

She took a deep breath and walked to the claw machine.

"Insert coin, joystick, button."

Chen Duo operated the device somewhat clumsily.

The first time, the claw went straight down, but slipped away the instant it touched the frog.

failure.

Chen Duo turned around, somewhat dejected.

"Ugh! How stupid!"

Instead of offering comfort, Zhang Tianyi started yelling and shouting from the sidelines, acting as a virtual commander:

"Left! Left! Your sense of distance is terrible! Are you nearsighted?"

"Hey, right, right! That's it! Take the picture! Oh my god! It's off-center again!"

"Again! There are still coins left! What are you afraid of!"

Although he complained, Zhang Tianyi never actually touched the joystick.

He simply stood by, supporting her and protecting her.

"Girl, your angle is wrong."

Wang Ye couldn't stand it any longer, so he moved to the other side and began to offer theoretical guidance:

"Look at this claw, it has a swinging motion. You have to go with its momentum, use its force against it, and do it when it swings to its lowest point..."

"Old Wang, that's too far-fetched."

Zhuge Qing adjusted his glasses, stood on the other side, and began to perform precise calculations with squinted eyes:

"Chen Duo, look, that frog's center of gravity is in its head."

"You need to adjust the landing point of the claws, about fifteen degrees off the central axis, using the inward clamping force of the claws..."

that's it.

Three very different men were gathered around a small claw machine.

Chen Duo, who was surrounded in the middle, went from being flustered at first to becoming completely focused later.

Once, twice, three times...

The coins in my hand are dwindling.

at last.

After several attempts.

"We caught them!!"

Chen Duo squatted down and took the green sad frog out of the exit.

She held it in her arms, her fingers gently stroking its rough down.

This was the first time she had ever obtained what she wanted with her own two hands.

It's not a task, it's not an order.

Simply because... she likes it.

Chen Duo looked up at the people surrounding her.

At that moment, the corners of her mouth slowly, very slowly turned up.

A bright smile appeared on her face.

"We've caught them."

She held up the frog, her eyes curving into crescents.

Looking at that smile, Zhang Tianyi felt as if something had filled his heart.

"Good job!"

He reached out and ruffled Chen Duo's hair, praising her generously:

"These are the people that Master Dao trained!"

……

Happy times are always fleeting.

Just as the group was preparing to take their spoils to buy some barbecue skewers to celebrate.

"Hey! Don't you have eyes?!"

A sleazy voice suddenly rang out.

Three young thugs with dyed yellow hair and tattooed arms.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it bumped straight into Chen Duo, who had a smile on her face.

Chen Duo was knocked off balance and nearly dropped the Sad Frog in her hand.

"Hey beautiful, you bumped into someone and aren't even going to apologize?"

"You look so innocent, how can you be so rude?"

The blond-haired leader had probably been drinking.

Looking at Chen Duo's delicate face and slender figure, he was suddenly aroused and reached out to grab her arm:

"Come on, come have a drink with your brother to make amends..."

Chen Duo's body tensed instantly.

In that instant, the poison within her body instinctively wanted to fight back.

If it were before, those three thugs would now be three black corpses.

but now……

She hadn't even had a chance to make a move.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

Three figures appeared in front of Chen Duo almost instantly.

He shielded her tightly behind him.

"What's up? How many of you?"

With his hands in his pockets, Wang Ye exuded a unique roguishness and coldness characteristic of old Beijing tough guys.

He lowered his head slightly, looking down at the blond man who was half a head shorter than him:

"Have you had too much to drink? Can't you walk straight?"

"Would you like me to give you a couple of acupuncture needles to help you sober up?"

Zhuge Qing elegantly adjusted his cuffs, pushed up his glasses, and a cold glint flashed across the lenses:

"My friend, if your hand had reached forward just an inch more..."

"I promise you'll never be able to eat with chopsticks again in your life."

Zhang Tianyi was standing in the very center.

He simply took the popsicle stick out of his mouth and gently bent it in his hand.

"Click".

The hard wooden stick turned to powder in his hands.

Zhang Tianyi blew on the sawdust in his hand, a cruel yet ruthless smile playing on his lips:

"Boy."

"Did they run into a Taoist priest trying to scam someone?"

"Do you know who was the last person to dare talk to my child like that..."

Zhang Tianyi took a step forward.

"The grass on your grave is taller than you now."

The three thugs sobered up considerably in an instant.

They looked at the three men in front of them, whose auras were ridiculously powerful.

Especially the one in the middle wearing sunglasses, he looks like he's being targeted by three wolves.

That kind of fear, stemming from their biological instincts, made their calves tremble.

"Misunderstanding..."

The blond-haired man stammered as he backed away:

"Big...Big brother...we've mistaken you for someone else..."

"roll!!!"
