The System Says My Childhood Sweetheart Is My Future Blind Date - Chapter 20

“The claw machine owner is so greedy, it only triggers the guaranteed win once every 50 coins.”

Shen Yuan complained to Li Zhi about the owner while holding up the cat plushie.

“Luckily you stopped me, otherwise I would have wasted 50 coins to win just one.”

Li Zhi curled his lip, thinking to himself, “You’ve got some nerve, kid. ”

To be honest, what happened earlier really shocked Li Zhi.

It was like he was cheating.

His words were law!

Could this kid really have the potential to be an emperor?

Shen Yuan’s success was due to two reasons: experience and observation.

Generally speaking, claw machines have a guaranteed win mechanism.

Most claw machine shops set it to trigger once every 50 coins.

This depends on the shop and

the owner’s conscience .

Secondly, it was observation.

Shen Yuan’s wandering around the shop wasn’t without purpose.

He had seen a kid crying and looking for his mother after failing seven times in a row, and he had also seen people who won on their first try, like himself.

Overall, Shen Yuan was certain that the shop owner had set the minimum number of coins required to win a prize at the machine.

Someone had just won a plush toy from the machine, and because Shen Yuan had been holding it before Guo Weifeng started, no coins had been inserted.

In short, the male high school student had spent 44 game coins on him!

Winning a plush toy in two tries—what’s the difference between that and getting it for free?
Shen Yuan was all smiles, but Guo Weifeng was anything but.

What does it feel like to be outmaneuvered?
Like eating shit.

What does it feel like to be someone else’s backdrop for showing off?
Go for it! Let’s do it, brothers!

Guo Weifeng wanted to continue challenging Shen Yuan, but he lacked the courage.

Looking at the game coins in his hand, Guo Weifeng knew he would never again feel joy from winning a single plush toy.

That scene had become a mental block for him in his claw machine adventures.

No matter how he tried to win a plush toy afterward, he would always think of Shen Yuan’s nonchalant “I am the King of Claw Machines in Jiyang.”

How could someone whose resolve wavered possibly win a plush toy again?

Damn, that was really cool!

“Damn it, it’s just playing claw machines, why does it feel so cool?”

Guo Weifeng imagined the scene from before. If it were him

, I swear, that would be absolutely amazing!

A thrill from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, comparable to cosplaying a captain.

Unfortunately, he was just a background character.

While Guo Weifeng was feeling dejected, Shen Yuan was ecstatic.

Perhaps the saying “King of Claw Machines in Jiyang” had come true, because Shen Yuan’s luck was exceptionally good.

A hundred or so game tokens allowed him to grab more than twenty plush toys. That’s

an average of one plush toy for every six tokens.

He even brought a new shopping cart.

Li Zhi was happily pushing her cart, with the only one she had grabbed—an ugly-cute chick—on a pile of plush toys.

The cat plush toy Shen Yuan had grabbed was on his cart.

In Shen Yuan’s words, this was called “invoking the gods.”

Shen Yuan prayed to all the gods, but only he himself answered—the King of Claw Machines in Jiyang!

With 100 yuan, Shen Yuan basically grabbed every single plush toy in the store.

“I didn’t catch the ugly chick, it was too ugly.

” “Here, last try, let’s see if you can catch it.”

Shen Yuan handed the last four game tokens to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi took the tokens and stood in front of the claw machine.

Insert a coin.

Biu~biu~biu~
click!
The claw machine dispensed a toy, and Li Zhi happily took it out.

“Yay! Look, look, I caught it right away! I didn’t even have to wait!”

Li Zhi held the toy in one hand, showing off to Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan retorted angrily, “Tch, it’s just luck, I relied on skill!”

“Hehehe, luck is also part of skill!”

Behind the two, Guo Weifeng looked at the claw machine in Li Zhi’s hand, his Dao heart shattering once again.

Finally

, with Li Zhi’s decision, the two traded 50 small plush toys for one large plush toy in the shop.

The owner was very enthusiastic.

Although Shen Yuan and Li Zhi spent less and won more, wasn’t that just part of their business?
The plush toys only cost a few dollars,

didn’t that just show how easy it was to win?

Damn capitalists.

As they walked out of the shop, the two were about to discuss where to go when they heard Tong Churou’s voice behind them.

“Shen Yuan!”

Shen Yuan and Li Zhi turned around at the same time and saw Tong Churou walking quickly towards them.

Tong Churou stopped in front of Shen Yuan, looking at the plush toys in their hands: “Shen Yuan, you’re really good at winning plush toys.”

“Yeah, you’re pretty bad.”

Shen Yuan launched an attack without any politeness.

Faced with this sudden attack, the smile on Tong Churou’s face froze.

What happened to not hitting a smiling face?
Why did this guy start with zero frames?

However, Tong Churou was, after all, an ascended demonic cultivator, and quickly adjusted her mindset.

“Yeah, can you teach me?”

“No, you have no talent.”

Tong Churou’s lips twitched.

Shen Yuan looked at Tong Churou expressionlessly.

To deal with someone like this, you have to slap them.

Slap them hard to vent your anger.

Using my knowledge to intimidate me, am I just putting on a show?

Shen Yuan got angry just thinking about it.

Gotham’s Joker.

I finally felt a spark, and you made me lose so completely.

*Slam!* (Throws drink)

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”

Shen Yuan said, turning to leave.

“Wait! I have something to do.”

Tong Churou had barely finished speaking when Shen Yuan took off running.

Wait my ass, I don’t care if you have something to do.

Li Zhi, holding a large doll, watched Shen Yuan’s departing figure and couldn’t help but laugh.

Following the direction of the laughter, Tong Churou glanced at Li Zhi.

Tong Churou was confident in her looks and figure.

But when she saw Li Zhi, Tong Churou suddenly felt a little insecure.

In terms of looks, Tong Churou had a foxy, seductive face, like a succubus.

Li Zhi, on the other hand, possessed a classically Chinese appearance, dignified and elegant.

In the eyes of elders, Li Zhi’s looks were clearly more appealing.

And if he didn’t speak, Li Zhi even seemed a bit aloof.

Although their styles differed, Li Zhi was clearly superior.

In terms of figure, Li Zhi was taller, and his legs were visibly longer.

He completely overshadowed her outstanding features; what was there to compare?

Who was hotter?
Li Zhi chose to concede.

“Hello, classmate, we’ve met before.” The succubus took the initiative.

“Excuse me, what was your final exam score?”

Tong Churou was taken aback. Why ask about grades upon meeting?
However, she still gave her score.

“611.”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi immediately showed a disgusted expression.

“Humanoid, stay away from me.”

With that, Li Zhi strode away quickly in the direction Shen Yuan had left.

Leaving Tong Churou alone, stunned and speechless.

Wait, what does “humanoid” even mean?!
Is 611 even human?
She could easily get into a top-tier university!
Damn it.

What kind of lunatics are these?!
