Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 336 - 335: Full Combat Power

"The movement to grab must be quick; the claw won’t stay in place for long."

"If you grabbed it on the first try, the owner would probably cry."

"Try again, a few more attempts and you might just find the knack for it."

It was all in good fun, and Su Mu didn’t really care whether Xuanxuan could grab the toy from the machine or not.

As long as she was happy, that was what mattered. As for the stuffed toys, Su Mu felt that if Xuanxuan liked them, he could buy her a whole bunch.

If Jiang Xinxuan knew what Su Mu was thinking, she would definitely have argued.

How could a toy bought with money compare to the satisfaction of winning one through effort?

"I’ll try again; I refuse to believe I can’t grab even a single toy."

With her boyfriend’s encouragement, Jiang Xinxuan was instantly filled with fighting spirit again.

"Su Mu, let me try for a different toy this time. The one before seemed to slip easily."

Jiang Xinxuan thought that the way the machine released the claw so quickly might have to do with the toy’s design as well.

The first toy had its arms crossed, which might have made it harder for the claw to get a secure grip.

This time, Jiang Xinxuan chose a toy with outstretched arms.

Jiang Xinxuan felt this design might make it easier for the claw to hold on.

"Sure, give it a go."

These claw machines were something Su Mu had played with when he was little.

Of course, he never managed to grab a toy.

Su Mu knew that the claws in these machines were pre-set.

Without special skills, it was really hard to win a toy from them.

Su Mu had only played a few times out of curiosity when he was a child.

As an adult, Su Mu felt these claw machines just exploited people’s hopes of getting lucky.

That’s why he lost interest in playing them.

Now seeing Xuanxuan as enthused about the claw machine as he had been as a child,

Su Mu didn’t say anything, letting Xuanxuan experience it for herself.

Or to just treat grabbing toys as a pure form of entertainment, which wasn’t bad either.

Think of it as buying some happiness.

"Okay, I’ll give it another shot."

Taking three Game Coins from the ones Su Mu had placed on the machine, Jiang Xinxuan started a new round of the game.

"Su Mu, I failed again."

"It’s so frustrating, just a little bit off."

After the second failure, Jiang Xinxuan sought comfort from her boyfriend again.

"Do you want to keep playing?"

For Su Mu, whether or not they could grab the toys wasn’t important.

What mattered was whether his girlfriend was still interested in playing.

"I do."

As if to prove her determination, Jiang Xinxuan nodded vigorously.

"Then carry on."

Pointing to the pile of Game Coins on the machine, Su Mu signaled Xinxuan to go ahead and play.

"Alright, today I’m definitely taking a toy home."

Setting a lofty goal, Jiang Xinxuan dived back into the fray.

Fail, try again, fail, try again...

Before they realized it, the pile of Game Coins on the machine had dwindled to almost nothing.

...

"That’s amazing, we got one!"

"Qiang Zi is still the best, he managed to grab the doll I wanted the most in one go."

Jiang Xinxuan was still in a state of disappointment when a very discordant voice rose from the claw machine nearby.

Following the voice, Jiang Xinxuan saw that the other claw machines had also attracted several people.

When Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu first started playing this claw machine, there was no one else around.

Now, the place was packed with people.

Jiang Xinxuan noticed that of the five claw machines, not one was unoccupied.

And coincidentally, in front of each of the five machines stood pairs of young men and women, seemingly all couples.

The only difference, perhaps, was that Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan stood out for their exceptional good looks.

Aside from one couple that was dressed rather ordinarily, the other three looked like they were wealthy.

Of course, the disparity when compared to Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan was quite apparent.

The girl who spoke was the one from the more ordinary-looking couple, noticing that Jiang Xinxuan’s attention had been successfully drawn by her voice.

She gave Jiang Xinxuan a somewhat provocative look, her smile seeming to mock Jiang Xinxuan for not having caught a single doll.

These claw machines usually aren’t so appealing.

If the owner were here, they would surely thank Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan dearly.

Because, in fact, the other four couples were indeed attracted here by Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan.

The girl holding the doll didn’t know Jiang Xinxuan, her hostility was completely because of Su Mu by Jiang’s side.

The girl felt envious that such a handsome guy was already taken, her heart truly jealous of the girl by his side.

Especially since the girl with the handsome guy was also a great beauty.

Her own looks were outshone by the beauty, and her boyfriend could not even begin to compare with the handsome Su Mu.

The girl’s jealousy was easy to imagine.

Fortunately, she felt her boyfriend was not completely useless.

At the very least, wasn’t her boyfriend the first among the five couples to catch a doll?

Jiang Xinxuan had been so focused on winning a doll at the beginning, she hadn’t paid much attention to her surroundings. ƒreewebɳovel.com

However, most of the girl’s thoughts were on Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan.

The girl saw that Jiang Xinxuan had tried for a long time and hadn’t caught a single doll.

Moreover, it was clear that the handsome guy had no intention of stepping forward to help.

The girl thought that the handsome guy wasn’t really that into his companion.

Thus, that sort of sour mentality really is undesirable.

So, Su Mu not stepping forward to help Jiang Xinxuan with the claw machine means he doesn’t care about his girlfriend?

Isn’t it better to let one’s girlfriend experience this joy on her own?

Of course, neither Su Mu nor Jiang Xinxuan would know the girl’s thoughts.

Because neither Su Mu nor Jiang Xinxuan would waste their thoughts on that girl.

When Jiang Xinxuan saw the girl’s look of pride, she simply turned her head away.

Jiang Xinxuan had actually envied the doll in the girl’s hands, after all, it was something the girl had won through her own efforts.

It had a different significance.

But Jiang didn’t like the girl’s attitude, which as a result made the doll, originally very attractive, lose its allure.

"Su Mu, I’ve almost used up all the Game Coins and still haven’t managed to grab a single doll."

Looking at the pitiful few Game Coins left on the claw machine, Jiang Xinxuan realized that this machine was really not easy to control.

She had followed the instructions on the claw machine precisely, but always seemed to fail when she was only one step away from success.

Initially, Jiang Xinxuan had been all the more persistent in the face of setbacks, but after so many failures, she finally began to see the problem.

"Su Mu, do you think this machine is deliberately designed this way?"

"Otherwise, why does the doll always drop when I’m so close to success?"

Jiang Xinxuan really was playing the claw machine for the first time.

So, her question was indeed somewhat naïve.
