When everyone thought that Tang Beibei was stuck, she went to find a long stick.
She tied the vine around the long stick, found a small gap, and put the long stick in. She was trying to lasso the doll with the vine.
Everyone laughed. The doll was so big, and the crack through which she inserted the stick was so small. It was futile even if she lassoed the doll.
“This player is quite smart, but I don’t think her method would work.”
“Sigh, the game designers are too much. They made it so difficult. How do they expect us to play?”
“This girl is already playing pretty well. She made it all the way to the wooden cabin. Unfortunately, time is almost up.”
The spectators discussed animatedly, feeling sorry for her.
However, in the next second, under everyone’s shocked gazes, Tang Beibei threw the long stick with the lassoed the doll at the cabin door.
The stick landed at the door.
30 seconds left!
Everyone was nervous but they felt that Tang Beibei wasn’t only smart, but she was also very quick-witted.
In the game, Tang Beibei found a few more sticks to fish the long stick out. After moving the long stick out of the cabin door, she quickly grabbed it and yanked the doll out from the snake den.
There was a long snake wrapped around the doll. Tang Beibei poked it with a stick until it went back inside the wooden cabin.
She got the doll!
When she touched the doll, there were still five seconds left on the clock, but
the system prompted, “Game over. Player Tang Beibei wins!”
The staff members were all impressed. They helped her take off her VR headset and congratulated her.
Tang Beibei rubbed her eyes and looked for Jiang Jingchen.
She saw Jiang Jingchen with his eyebrows raised and arms opened. She got up with a smile, ran up to him and hugged him.
“Were you scared?”
“Yes, but it was manageable.”
Jiang Jingchen rubbed her little head and saw that her forehead was filled with sweat and her palms were cold. She was also frightened.
One of the staff members immediately brought a giant teddy bear over.
“Miss Tang Beibei, your reward.”
“Thank you!”
Tang Beibei took the bear happily. The teddy bear was really big. It was taller than her when she carried it.
Tang Beibei gave the bear to Jiang Jingchen. “This is for you.”
“For me?”
“Yeah, I saw you staring at the claw machine just now. Don’t you like dolls?”
Jiang Jingchen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Why would he like such inferior toys? He was watching the other couples play.
The doll was not the point. It was the process of catching the doll that was interesting.
However, his little wife did not think so.
Then he heard his wife say, “Those dolls cost only a few cents. 3 game tokens
for one catch. Wouldn’t I lose out if I didn’t catch any?”
“So, the claw machine isn’t worth it. Look at this doll. It’s big and warm. It must be expensive. I won it for you.”
Jiang Jingchen thought that she liked big dolls but she overcame her fear to win the game so she could give him the doll.
He didn’t take the giant teddy bear and just stared at her. Tang Beibei thought that he didn’t like it and immediately felt a little awkward.
“Don’t you like it? Actually, I don’t like such big dolls either. It’s so heavy to
carry. Other than being big, they are not very useful.”
“If you need a hug, you can hug me. Not only do I have hair, but I’m also warm. You can hug me however you want. I’m definitely more comfortable than a doll.”
Jiang Jingchen laughed in amusement and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips.
“Yes, you’re better than any doll.”
He definitely liked the things she gave him, but it was troublesome to carry
such a big bear. Besides, he would rather hold her hand.
“Then what do we do with this giant teddy bear?”
Tang Beibei held the bear worriedly, feeling a little breathless.
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration. She smiled and said to a woman who was quite well-dressed with a few gold rings on her fingers, “Auntie, your child seems to like big dolls very much.”
“I just won a game, but I’m going for ice cream with my husband, so it’s not convenient to take it with me.”
“Would you like my teddy bear for too yuan?”
The woman looked at Tang Beibei and Jiang Jingchen. They were both good-looking and the man didn’t dress like he needed money. But carrying a big doll like that was indeed an obstacle for the couple.
“too is too expensive. 50 yuan.”
She bargained for half the price. This woman had really grasped the essence of haggling.
Tang Beibei didn’t want to argue with her over the price. She was quite happy with 50 yuan.
She nodded with a smile. “Okay, just treat it as me giving you the teddy bear and you buying us ice creams.”
The woman was about to take out the money when her son shook her hand.
“Mom, Mom, give her a hundred. This big sister was so amazing just now and won the game by being really brave.”
The woman glared at her silly son. If she could get the bear for 50 yuan, why should she pay too yuan?
Before the woman could retort, her son snatched a 100-yuan note from her and gave it to Tang Beibei.
“Big sister, here you go. Give me the bear.”
Tang Beibei didn’t take the money but gave him the bear. “Your mother and I agreed that it would be fifty, so I’ll take fifty, handsome.”
The handsome boy thought that she was a weirdo. She refused a hundred yuan and insisted on fifty yuan.
The boy gave her too yuan, but Tang Beibei refused to accept it. She looked at his mother and said, “I’ll take only 50 yuan, thank you.”
Seeing how Tang Beibei kept her promise, the lady didn’t say more. She took too yuan from her son and gave it to Tang Beibei.
“My son said too so I’ll give you too. 50 yuan to buy your teddy bear and the other 50 yuan because I’m in a good mood.”
Tang Beibei did not refuse. She took the too yuan and thanked the handsome boy.
The lady said, “Son, look at how trustworthy this young lady is? You said too yuan and we’ll give her too yuan. We’ll also be trustworthy people, okay?” The handsome boy smiled and nodded. “I understand, Mom.”
It turned out that this mother wanted to teach her son about trustworthiness using the additional fifty yuan.
Tang Beibei turned around and waved the hundred-yuan bill at Jiang Jingchen. “Hubby, look, too yuan in exchange for the giant teddy bear. After deducting the fifty yuan we spent on game tokens, there’s still fifty yuan left. I’ll treat you to ice cream.”
Jiang Jingchen looked at his little wife’s smug expression and felt tender affection for her.
Although his little wife cared about money and would haggle over a few cents, she would not covet a cent more from others.
“Alright, I’ll let Obedient Beibei treat me this time.”
The two of them spent all their game tokens before they left. To avoid turning around, the two of them exited via the west entrance although they entered via the east entrance.
Jiang Jingchen didn’t drive, so it didn’t matter from which entrance or exit they left.
However, Tang Beibei did not expect there to be a dance machine at the west entrance. She stopped curiously to see how the others were playing.
“Do you want to play?” Jiang Jingchen asked.
“Yes. I’ve never tried it.”
“Do you know how to play?”
“I’m watching how others play. They look like they are following the numbers on screen.”
She wanted to play, so Jiang Jingchen turned to buy more game tokens.
Tang Beibei stopped him. “I can play without tokens.”
“How?”
Tang Beibei winked at him playfully and walked to a boy on the dance machine with a smile. “I can beat you in a competition, but you’ll have to put in tokens for me. If I lose, I’ll pay you double.”
The boy laughed. “You don’t have game tokens, so you’re trying to cheat me of my tokens?”
“You can say that. I just think that I can beat you, but I’m too lazy to buy tokens.”
She felt that it was very expensive to play games here. One yuan could only buy
2 game tokens. If she wanted to play this dancing game, it would cost her five tokens. That would be 2.50 yuan!
The boy felt provoked. He also wanted to show off his skills in front of such a beautiful woman and make her admit defeat, so he put in five tokens for her.
“Pretty lady, don’t cry if you lose.”
The game began..
