Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

That does seem a bit difficult.

Chen Duo wanted to continue, but found that each coin could only be used once. So she put in another coin, but as expected, she didn't get anything.

Chen Duo was not discouraged. She repeated the process of inserting coins, trying to win a prize, inserting more coins, and trying to win another prize.

After several attempts, although I managed to grab the doll a few times, my claws seemed to have no muscle strength and failed to carry it to the exit.

The ten coins were quickly gone, but Chen Duo gained nothing.

Seeing this, Zhou Fengliu was about to tell Chen Duo about the tricks of the claw machine when he saw Chen Duo go to the coin exchange counter and exchange the remaining money for game tokens.

All in!

All in!

Seeing this, Zhou Fengliu had reason to believe that if he had really given Chen Duo 998, she would have exchanged it all for game tokens and fought to the death with this claw machine.

When Zhou Fengliu saw Chen Duo return with a bag full of game coins, he could only sigh.

He couldn't say anything... After all, you only realize you've lost something after you've suffered the consequences.

The saying goes, "You won't turn back until you hit a brick wall," meaning you have to hit it until you're bleeding before you realize that the road is blocked.

Zhou Fengliu patiently watched Chen Duo continue playing the claw machine. After more than thirty rounds of torture, Chen Duo finally admitted in her heart that she was no different from those people.

Seeing that Chen Duo seemed slightly dejected, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow and asked:

"What? Continue?"

"No, I'm stupid... I can't figure it out." After dozens of attempts, Chen Duo finally admitted that she was a Muggle.

Hearing Chen Duo say this, Zhou Fengliu smiled and then explained the tricks of claw machines to Chen Duo:

"There's a lot of water in this thing, and the grappling hook is very loose. You can't grab it even if you get close."

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Chen Duo was slightly taken aback.

On the same day, young Chen Duo was taught a lesson by reality, which made her understand what it means that "sincereness cannot be retained, only tricks can win people's hearts".

If you could win a plush toy with just one coin, the shop owner would be a complete gambler...

Seeing that Chen Duo had sensed the dangers of society, Zhou Fengliu coughed lightly and continued, "You're still young, it's normal that you can't handle it. Let me... I'm an old hand."

Zhou Fengliu said he wanted to show off.

Normally, claw machines have a limit to how many tricks they can use. After inserting a certain number of coins, the claw will tighten, making it easier to grab the plush toy. Or, a staff member will come and give you the plush toy directly. If they don't do this, after a few uses, no one will want to play the machine anymore.

Judging from how many coins Chen Duo had just put in, he felt that the limit should be about right, and he could pull off the act.

Upon hearing this, Chen Duo stepped aside and gave Zhou Fengliu a game coin, which Zhou Fengliu inserted and immediately began his operation.

I didn't win the first time...

Ok.

Maybe I didn't pad it enough.

the second time.

I didn't win.

Hmm...isn't that enough?

I failed the third time.

This might be a bit difficult.

The fourth time...the fifth time, the sixth time.

Chen Duo watched as Zhou Fengliu went all in with his coins but still didn't manage to catch a single doll. At that moment, she realized that Zhou Fengliu was also a Muggle, quite clueless.

"Where are the coins? Do you have any more? This time we're sure to win!" Zhou Fengliu asked Chen Duo for coins.

Chen Duo shook her head: "No, that's all."

"..." Zhou Fengliu.

So fast... all those fifty yuan coins are gone?

what?

Despite this, Zhou Fengliu didn't lose his temper. He simply scratched his face and then solemnly told Chen Duo:

"See how deep this water is? Even I, an old hand, can't handle it. We can't play this game. Let's go."

"Oh..." Chen Duo nodded.

Although she didn't win the plush toy, she was already satisfied with the experience of playing the claw machine.

Just a few steps away from the claw machine, a couple came and played it. Less than ten seconds later, the girl excitedly said to the boy:

"You caught it on the first try?! You're amazing!"

"???"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fengliu turned his head and looked over. What he saw was that the couple had grabbed one plush toy and then another... three or four in a row, which made him fall silent.

Damn it... Am I clumsy?

Chapter 201 Feng Xingtong: Sis! Your house has been robbed! (Second update)

Zhou Fengliu was questioning his life, while Chen Duo was puzzled by the claw machine they had just played with.

Why couldn't she catch anyone when she was playing with Zhou Fengliu, while that couple could catch them every time?

Zhou Fengliu declared he would never touch a claw machine again. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a hint of envy in Chen Duo's eyes as she looked at the couple.

Seeing this, he thought of the coins he had just squandered from Chen Duo's all-in bet.

That's it.

If I can't win the prize, can't I at least buy a prize?

...

A moment later.

Chen Duo walked out of the toy store carrying a dog that looked like Chen Junyan. The dog wasn't very big, about 30 or 40 centimeters tall, and it wasn't difficult to pick it up.

Zhou Fengliu followed closely behind and came out.

"You gained some knowledge for fifty yuan, so you didn't lose out," Zhou Fengliu said.

"Hmm..." Chen Duo looked at the doll in her hand. She had chosen the doll, which resembled Chen Junyan somewhat, and she liked it very much.

After being busy for a while, Zhou Fengliu felt a bit hot, so he found a shady spot in the square and sat on a bench for a while, while Chen Duo stood beside him.

Looking around, he spotted the ice cream machine at the nearby refreshment shop, so he took out a fifty-yuan note and handed it to Chen Duo, then pointed to the refreshment shop and said:

"Go buy two ice creams, and I'll give you the rest of the money."

"?"

"it is good."

Chen Duo saw the ice cream shop, took the fifty yuan note from Zhou Fengliu, and walked over. She returned a short while later with two ice creams.

Zhou Fengliu took one, and gave the rest to Chen Duo to eat herself.

"Aren't you tired?" Zhou Fengliu asked, licking his ice cream, seeing that Chen Duo was still standing.

"I'm not tired," Chen Duo replied, mimicking Zhou Fengliu's manner as she licked her ice cream.

The two, one standing and one sitting, looked at each other, one tall and one short, and then looked in different directions.

Looking at the bustling square and the pedestrians on the street, feeling the warmth and the sweetness of the ice cream in her mouth, Chen Duo suddenly felt very comfortable and pleasant.

"so good."

"?"

Upon hearing Chen Duo's voice, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow.

"What's so good?"

"I love this place...and everything I experienced today."

"You like this? You've been tricked into becoming a complete idiot." Zhou Fengliu retorted mercilessly.

From the food photos being for reference only to the weakness in her grip muscles when trying to play the claw machine, it seems like Chen Duo has been making mistakes all day.

"Hmm...at least I feel...there's not that much distance between me and you, and between me and them...we're all under the same sun, eating hot pot, ice cream, and playing claw machines..."

Chen Duo felt that this was already very satisfying. For her, the Gu-body Saint Child, today was the freest and most relaxed day she had ever lived.

Hearing Chen Duo's words, Zhou Fengliu was slightly taken aback, and a sentence suddenly came to mind: The ordinary days you take for granted may be what many people dream of...

Duozi suffers, but she also knows how to be content.

"No rush...this is just the beginning, your best days are yet to come..."

"Once you can suppress the Gu poison in the future, you won't have to stay here anymore. Then you can say that the world is so big and you want to go out and see what the world is really like."

"You can look westwards to see the world's highest peak, and challenge yourself to climb its snow-capped summit. You can find a small island and gaze at the azure sky and turquoise waters..."

"You can go to the Arctic to see the aurora borealis, and go to Africa to see wildlife..."

Listening to Zhou Fengliu's description, Chen Duo ate her ice cream much slower. It was as if she was glimpsing some scenery from places she had seen pictures of in the bunker but had never set foot in, through the words Zhou Fengliu spoke.

So beautiful...

It's worth letting her go see it.

Ok.

I want to do this in the future.

Chen Duo planned to visit the places Zhou Fengliu had mentioned for her future.

“Of course, as long as you have money, you can go wherever you want…” Zhou Fengliu added.

"What if you don't have money?"

"Then I'll just stay home, go online, find a picture, and fantasize..."

"..." Chen Duo.
