Chapter 25 There’s something wrong with this claw machine

"What kind of talent is this? He worked for a long time, and then he played all the doll machines and came here to get a meal on credit?"

"Money is for spending, so boss, do you want a doll? I will sell you a stand-in doll for 100 yuan, maybe it can become a stand-in messenger!"

"Do you want to use this to pay the rent?"

"huohu~"

The long-tailed fire fox was quite happy to take one away. Hoshino gave it to it directly and quietly rubbed its tail before continuing to eat.

When I came back in the evening, I was indeed chased by Meow Meow and the others again, but I escaped safely. I'm afraid I will have to battle wits and courage with these guys every day in the future.

After finishing their meal, he and the Motorized Lizard went back upstairs, found a place to place all the dolls, and then took an early rest.

The next morning, Smile Restaurant finally opened, and Hoshino was very happy to see Nai-chan after a long absence, as he was able to put his learning talents into full play.

Although they hadn't seen each other for so many days, Nai-chan seemed to know about his previous hospitalization, and even wrote in mid-air to ask how his recovery was going.

"It's okay, very stable!"

After the restaurant closed, Hoshino rode his motorcycle directly to school, and was a little more cautious when leaving the homeless neighborhood.

However, we still couldn't avoid encountering those guys, and we managed to escape safely in the end.

Today he was dressed up for battle. When he came to the class, some people didn't even recognize him, but they still recognized him through the goggles hanging around his neck and didn't give him a good look.

Hoshino ignored them all, returned to his seat and lay down on his stomach to catch up on his sleep. Except for looking up and observing his surroundings when he really couldn't sleep, his daily rhythm was basically stable like this.

He would sleep in class during the day, go to the business district to work with the Motorized Lizards after school, and then compete with Meow Meow and the others in a battle of wits and courage during school hours.

What changed slightly is that even the teacher finally gave up on him. He would bark twice at the beginning of the practical class, but then simply pretended that this person was not in the class, and the same was true for other students...

Just like that, time came to the end of November in a blink of an eye, and before I knew it, Hoshino had been in this world for more than a month.

Today is the weekend, and he has come to work in the business district as usual. Now his boss has begun to collect debts. Those who have credit for a certain amount of money must be paid back in the next two days.

"It's almost done today. Even if I pay two months' rent, it's more than enough."

He was not anxious about paying back the money, but he was thinking more about Wanshiwuwu, which was what he was saving money for.

Although training Pokémon seems to be expensive, Biker doesn't seem to need training, otherwise he may have to postpone these things...

There are many people going out to play on weekends, especially entertainment venues like claw machine shops located in shopping malls, which are even more lively.

At this time, Hoshino is tired. To prevent the little guys from causing trouble, these guys will not only sneak their hands into the claw machine's exit to steal things while there are many people, but they will even use screwdrivers to forcefully pry it open.

In the past half month, he has arrested several of them, but these little brats are basically under ten years old. Many of the things they steal are relatively cheap. At most, they will be given a verbal education by the boss and then let go...

At noon, he and the Motorized Lizard had just returned from lunch nearby when they saw a group of kids gathered around a claw machine, making some noise.

"What are you doing again? Don't steal anything."

Hoshino walked forward and found that these little ghosts were catching a batch of newly arrived dolls. Halloween was coming soon, and they were all filled with ghost-type Pokémon, Mystery, Q, and Dune dolls.

"It's been a hundred coins, why can't I catch this? You must have done it on purpose!"

The kid who was operating the claw machine just now suddenly slapped the claw machine angrily. The various jokes made by other children around him made him even more irritated.

Suddenly, his eyes caught Hoshino walking towards him, so he pushed away the others and walked over.

"Hey! This claw machine of yours is actually being operated behind closed doors. I'm going to file a complaint against you!"

"Just practice cooking more."

"I'm not good at it? I've hit all the claw machines around here. Do you think I'm bad at it?"

"Don't play with the food."

Hoshino will not tolerate these brats. Although their buffs are stronger than his own, there is still no problem in scaring them.

Hearing this, the kid became even more angry and shouted directly: "I'm going to do it! If you say there's no problem, then take out the pink Gengar and show it to us!"

"Pink Gengar? Isn't this a different color? It's a limited edition doll..."

Limited edition is the way to attract players to the claw machine. The previous linked wooden owl dolls and motorcycle lizard stand-in dolls are the same. They are almost limited to the card pool, and everyone comes here for this.

Since this kid made a request, he naturally had to demonstrate it again to make these guys calm down and avoid being noisy and annoying.

The doll they are talking about is stacked on the top layer. Logically speaking, this position is really easy to catch, and it is not difficult to catch even the most delicious food.

Hoshino stood in front of the claw machine and glanced at the pink Gengar doll that was less than 30 centimeters long.

I discovered that this little guy was actually wearing a light blue dress with a yellow bow hanging on his ear. He was posing with his hands holding his belly and a naughty smile on his face.

"Wow, it's quite cute..."

He was a little tempted, who doesn't like cute things, but this was to demonstrate to these little guys whether there were any problems with the claw machine, so he let it go.

Two coins were put in, and with his ultra-high-tech skills, Hoshino instantly locked onto the Gengar doll, quickly put down his claws, and everything went smoothly!

"Let me tell you, it's just food..."

Before he finished speaking, the Gengar doll immediately decoupled itself without any warning, and the proud smile on his face suddenly stopped. It was me who was in trouble!

"Hahaha, let me just say there is a problem!"

"This is impossible. My claw machine skills are unparalleled in the world. I must have just eaten enough!"

Hoshino frowned. He didn't believe he had sent it. He had seen this machine before and the shipment rate was normal, which meant there was no problem. How could it be an empty hook?

So he went over and exchanged a few coins and continued to catch the Gengar doll. The result was the same situation again, and the hook was inexplicably empty.

Seeing this, the kid from before mocked directly: "Haha, don't try it, it's just that you have a problem and are engaging in secret operations to deceive us consumers."

"That's right, refund the money!"

Listening to the other kids around him making noises, Hoshino responded with a calm expression: "It's been too long since I've played. I feel bad. I'll definitely catch the next one...the next one!"

"Gengar~"

At the same time, not far from the claw machine shop, four girls in regular clothes were walking side by side in the shopping mall.

If Hoshino had paid closer attention, he would have discovered that all of them are classmates...

Maao, who wore a low ponytail and was the tallest among them, stood on the edge and asked with a smile: "Monitor, what are you going to buy when you go shopping today? I heard that it might snow here next month.

Want to buy winter clothes and go see the snow?”

Meiyue, who was holding Mumuxiao in her arms, shook her head helplessly and responded: "Just go to Ula'ula Island to see the snow. I want to buy some materials for making potions and some underwear..."

"Underwear? You seem to have been shopping before..."

"It's getting bigger recently...it's so annoying during the growth period. I have to change it every few months."

Hearing this, the little Shui Lian on the side tilted her head, showing a helpless expression, and said: "I don't grow at all..."

Next to her, Lillie, who was wearing a dress and a very conspicuous white hat, also glanced down, and then whispered: "I...have basically stopped growing."

"At least better than me..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was suddenly a little weird, Mao put his arm around Meiyue's shoulders and asked in a sly tone with a smile: "Squad leader, tell me honestly, how are you and Xiaoyang going?"

"ah?"

"You're still pretending to be confused. Aren't you dating?"

Hearing this, Meiyue's cheeks instantly turned red, and then she said with a slightly angry expression: "When did I date him? Don't spread rumors!"

"Hey~ stop pretending and tell me~"

"What can I say if there is nothing!"

Watching Suiren and Mao teasing Mizuki together, Lillie was about to persuade her when her eyes were suddenly attracted by a group of noisy children not far away.

I saw a lot of people moving over there to watch the excitement, and a very conspicuous motorcycle lizard mixed in among them, carrying a few little devils...

There are two more updates today
