Chapter 221 -193 Teaching You a Trick_2
Tao Zhi’s Qingbei Class had extra lessons during the high school freshman winter holiday, and a teacher specially photocopied Xue Yuantong’s test paper to analyze for everyone.
Before, the city-wide unified test’s first place typically alternated between Second Middle School and Tu County No. 1 High School, but this time, Fourth Middle School unexpectedly took the top spot, and not just a regular first place.
Usually, the brighter the students are, the harder it is to create a gap between them, but Xue Yuantong managed to create a distinct gap.
Jin Yuanhang ventured to ask, “Are you the Xue Yuantong who got first place in the city?”
Xue Yuantong replied matter-of-factly, “Yes, that’s me.”
“Uh…” This is freaking awkward!
Recalling his behavior in front of Xue Yuantong just now, Jin Yuanhang was so embarrassed, especially because he had been trying to give advice.
If Xue Chuchu wasn’t there, he might have even wanted to turn around and go home, what a situation!
…
After the recent conversation, Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong barely knew Xue Chuchu’s classmates.
Jin Yuanhang thought it wasn’t working, having lost a bit of face especially in front of Xue Chuchu, he decided to reclaim his dignity.
He didn’t suggest everyone does their own thing but proposed:
“Since we’re all here, why don’t we play together? There’s a nice arcade nearby, lots of games inside, wanna check it out?”
Tao Zhi said, “I have no objection.”
Jin Yuanhang thought to himself that it didn’t matter whether Tao Zhi had objections, what mattered was if Xue Chuchu and Mu Ying did.
He looked expectantly at the two girls.
Xue Chuchu hesitated, she had seventy yuan on her and still needed to save for lunch, unsure if she had enough money.
Mu Ying, on the other hand, agreed, “Let’s go take a look.”
The other classmates agreed following her lead, and Xue Chuchu stopped agonizing over the decision. She secretly decided to save money by mostly watching others play.
The group proceeded to the third floor, walking along the spacious circular corridor.
Trailing at the back, Xue Yuantong told Jiang Ning, “Let’s play for a while and then go to the Fourth Level for dinner. I heard from Chen Siyu that the buffet there is delicious, it’s fifty-nine yuan per person for dinner and forty-nine for lunch.”
She patted her pocket, “I’ll treat.”
They soon arrived at the arcade, where noisy crowds filled the area—adults with children, groups of teenagers, and young couples.
The place was packed with numerous machines, ordinary arcade machines, some with steering wheels, and simulation shooting machines, all attracting customers.
Jin Yuanhang pointed at some claw machines in front and said:
“Wanna give it a try?”
Xue Yuantong rushed over and stood in front of the claw machines, gazing at the different stuffed toys inside.
Exaggeration aside, the claw machine’s appeal to girls was greater than a regular toy store, not because of their quality or appearance, but because winning them involved luck, making them seem rarer.
Jin Yuanhang pulled out a fifty yuan note and fed it into the coin machine, which soon spit out a bunch of Game Coins.
“Everyone grab some,” Jin Yuanhang called out as he first went to Xue Chuchu, handing her a handful:
“Chuchu, feel free to play,” he declared generously.
“And Mu Ying, here you go,” he said as he handed her a handful as well.
Mu Ying accepted them; Game Coins weren’t expensive, and she didn’t feel like she owed any favor.
Previously, her sister-in-law was hospitalized due to a hot water burns, but after a while, she calmed down a lot, pleading with her brother not to divorce and wasn’t as arrogant as before.

Thanks to this, Mu Ying’s life quality had been quite good recently, with a comfortable amount of spending money.
Xue Chuchu wasn’t one to accept favors lightly, each Game Coin cost one to two yuan.
“I don’t like playing claw machines,” she politely refused.
On the other side, Jiang Ning bought twenty yuan’s worth of Game Coins.
Xue Yuantong ran over, “I’m super accurate at claw machines, I get one every try.”
She patted her chest, full of confidence.
Jiang Ning was surprised, “Really?”
The toys in the machine were not easy to grab, many people could spend dozens of coins and still win nothing.
“I’m not lying to you, if you don’t believe me, let me show you,” Xue Yuantong took two coins.
She walked back and forth in front of the claw machines, choosing one.
Xue Yuantong stared at a cartoon white cat inside the glass, her eyes sparkled; this plush toy was as delicate as Jiang Ning, she had to have it!
She inserted the coins, the machine started, and Xue Yuantong manipulated the joystick to adjust the hook’s direction, then pressed the button, and the hook descended.
It grabbed the cartoon cat accurately, and as the claw lifted, the cat moved towards the exit. At the right moment, the hook jerked, and the cat dropped down.
Xue Yuantong’s heart sank.
Jiang Ning: “So this is your accuracy, way off.”
Xue Yuantong insisted, “You just say whether it’s accurate, right?”
“It is pretty accurate,” Jiang Ning admitted, unable to argue with that.
Xue Yuantong continued to insert coins, grabbing toys three times in a row, but each time, the toy fell as the claw jerked.
How absurd!
Xue Yuantong was furious: ‘Audacious claw machine, to treat me so!’
‘Do you think I would give in?’
She grabbed Jiang Ning’s hand from his pocket and slapped some Game Coins into his palm.
With a pout, she motioned for him to capture the cartoon white cat plush toy.
“Alright,” Jiang Ning decided to give it a try.
Jin Yuanhang was two machines away at the moment; realizing this was a good opportunity, he quickly joined them.
“Catching toys is all about technique,” he explained.
“Ordinary people might try many times and not succeed, at this point, you mustn’t rush but use techniques instead.”
As he spoke, Xue Chuchu came over, and Jin Yuanhang’s mood lifted, the beauty by his side, he raised his voice:
“Let me tell you about the technique to catch toys, there’s a very high-level one I call ‘maneuvering the hook’!”
