Chapter 654 - 526: Daddy, You’re Amazing (Part 3)
It didn’t really matter that we didn’t catch one; a little comfort and she would have been fine.
But then, at the claw machine next door, a chubby boy had just inserted a coin and effortlessly captured a cute "George" plush toy, and even shook it deliberately in Weiwei’s face.
That look on his face was sheer show-off.
Weiwei turned her head away disdainfully and tugged at Huang Jun’s arm, saying, "Daddy, help me catch a toy!"
"Sure..."
Huang Jun agreed readily and strode over to the claw machine.
He didn’t rush to insert the coin but instead took a careful look at several claw machines first,
The art of claw machines is unfathomable; the strength of the claw is controlled by computer programs and often appears weak and feeble, even if you choose the position precisely, it’s still difficult to lift successfully.
But it’s not always loose, otherwise if it just ate coins without giving out toys, customers would eventually lose interest.
Therefore.
It occasionally gives a small boon, suddenly increasing the claw’s strength, allowing a lucky person to capture one or two toys as a surprising gift.
But trying to conquer the claw machine by finding patterns is bound to be in vain.
Because the change in claw strength is random, specially designed to ward off those attempting to exploit it.
Nevertheless!
Huang Jun has his own unique technique, honed from years of experience—a wisdom crystallized as the swing-claw technique.
He calmly inserted two game coins, gripped the control stick firmly with both hands, and shook it gently, making the claw trace an irregular path in the air.
When the moment was right...
He decisively pressed the button, sending the claw toward the toy closest to the exit at a subtle angle.
Regrettably, due to lack of practice, the first attempt was unsuccessful, and the claw failed to carry the toy out!
"Go, Daddy!"
Qingqing and Weiwei watched anxiously from the side, cheering him on and rooting for him.
Huang Jun, however, remained particularly composed, smiling as he inserted another game coin.
This time, he more intently controlled the joystick’s force and frequency, making slight adjustments based on his previous failure.
Finally.
The claw firmly grasped the "Peppa Pig" plush toy.
Although the claw seemed slightly loose as it lifted, Peppa Pig was already at the edge of the exit.
As the claw returned to its position and steadied, the plush toy slid in a natural motion, securely dropping into the retrieval hole.
Jingle and clatter~
The claw machine immediately played a cheerful tune, with colorful marquee lights spinning continuously, instantly drawing the attention of the surrounding people.
Huang Jun bent down, picked up the Peppa Pig plush toy, and handed it to Weiwei, "Do you like it?"
Weiwei’s eyes curved into crescents with joy, hugging the Peppa Pig plush toy tightly, unable to stop smiling, "I love it!"
Huang Jun chuckled and said, "Alright, let’s keep it up! Let’s catch a few more toys and take them home, so you and your sister can play to your heart’s content!"
Beware the wind, or you’ll bite your tongue!
Except for his initial brilliant score, the subsequent game coins the chubby boy used turned into the claw machine’s "food," his face revealing undeniable disappointment. Listening to Huang Jun’s bold words, he smirked with disdain and skepticism.
Of course.
Huang Jun was not boasting without skill.
He had long mastered the secrets of this claw machine, skillfully using the increasingly refined swing-claw technique to easily capture one adorable cartoon plush toy after another.
Though occasional minor setbacks occurred, success was ultimately dominant, almost inundating the hands of the little ones, Qingqing and Weiwei, with plush toys, making them nearly dizzy with joy as they continuously cheered, "Daddy, you’re amazing..."
The continuous success music notes blended with the sisters’ bell-like laughter, magnetically drawing the attention of many nearby children.
They gathered around one after another, eyes shining with both admiration and a slight hint of jealousy, forming a circle, their eyes fixed on Qingqing and Weiwei, whose faces were always bright with radiant smiles.
It was as if they were stars surrounding the moon, pushing even the chubby boy to the fringe.
Many children clapped their little hands, cheering and rooting for Huang Jun, with several eager to try and mimic his technique, yet often only grasping the surface and failing to capture its essence.
Seeing that the daughters couldn’t hold any more toys, Huang Jun contently stopped, no longer continuing to "loot the sheep."
This claw machine, at this moment, was almost "emptied" by him, leaving just a few scattered toys lonely inside.
Under the reluctant gazes of the children, the family of three, Huang Jun, Qingqing, and Weiwei, left the arcade, fully loaded with toys.
Just a few steps out, Weiwei pointed curiously to a crowd not far away and asked, "Daddy, it’s so lively over there, is there something fun happening again?"
