Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 213 Luo Jue's Friend

Overall, Ringo is a very good-tempered cat.

It's inevitable that the safety mechanism would be triggered. Besides, there are still many cats in the machine, so we won't bother arguing with a little girl who's even younger than Zhang Yining and the others.

This time, however, Lin Ge is determined not to give up his spot!

once!
twice!

three times!

As Lin Ge's mood worsened, he mechanically manipulated the joystick again and again, watching the tabby cat fall heavily, its head bleeding, its face bruised and swollen, its soul nearly shattered.

He'd figured it out: this broken machine required no skill, it was pure luck. Aside from a guard catch, it was impossible to catch anything else. But as long as he didn't waste guard catches on missed swings, he'd eventually recoup his sunk costs.

Yeah! Anyone who talks about the price of a plush toy is a scoundrel. It's the thought that counts, you bastard Hook Claw!
Finally, as Lingo grew increasingly frenzied... whether it was the seventeenth or the hundredth time, the trap was finally triggered. The tabby cat was mercilessly grabbed by the head by the killer and thrown into the abyss without any mercy, falling into the clutches of the cat demon.

"Finally...we caught them..."

The audience behind him got bored. How long could a video of a cat go? After that, they were just watching the cat act crazy.

"call……"

Lin Ge breathed a sigh of relief, and his limp tail finally swayed a couple of times. Seeing Luo Jue excitedly take out the tabby cat plushie from below and hand it to him, Lin Ge didn't even look at it and jumped to the second machine to start conquering the cow cat.

This time, it only took seven attempts for the cow cat to obediently submit to the cat king and become Luo Jue's right-hand man.

It was a very coincidental coincidence that the certificate tag was caught by the grappling hook, and even more inexplicably, with that incredibly small amount of friction, it endured the grappling hook's swing and returned to the starting point before finally giving up and falling into the exit.

Lin Ge's mood immediately improved.

"ポケモンゲットだぜーッ!"

A teenager was excitedly shouting nonsensical Japanese behind him. Lin Ge glanced back at him and suddenly noticed the bag of various dolls the boy was carrying, instantly feeling jealous.

This kid was quite outgoing. He leaned closer and stared at Lin Ge, saying, "Mimi, do you want me to help you? Actually, there are some tricks to catching claw machines, um, but hehe, I can't tell you the tricks, but I can help you catch one for free!"

Lin Ge glanced at Luo Jue and realized that the kid was actually quite interested as well. Lin Ge had been playing with the cat for so long, and he had been sitting next to it for just as long; it was impossible for him not to be itching to get his hands on it.

So Lin Ge stopped being polite, pointed to the little boy and Luo Jue, then to the blue cat and the hairless cat next to them, and handed over the task of catching the two dolls to the two of them.

"I'll go and get you two supplementary cards!"

At some point, an arcade employee who was also taking pictures nearby actually went to the counter to do some work and helped get two more electronic cards.

She handed the electronic card to the two boys and then whispered to Luo Jue if they could put the video online for promotion. Luo Jue looked at Lin Ge, who thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Only then did the shop assistant realize that a cat was in charge, and they became even more excited.

She was also a sensible person, and she deposited another 488 coins into the card, which finally made Lin Ge look at this shady shop a little more pleasing to the eye.

Two children and a cat began an enthusiastic game.

The boy chatted with Luo Jue while playing, occasionally offering Lin Ge pointers on techniques. It was then that Lin Ge learned this boy, Xie Tailong, wasn't a local from Zhuzhou. He was here accompanying his father on a business trip, usually residing in Zhejiang Province. The boy was outgoing and sociable, almost the complete opposite of Luo Jue. He chattered incessantly while playing the claw machine, revealing everything about himself in just a few words.

Lin Ge glanced at him briefly. With his parents not around, he was alone in a strange city, playing games in an unfamiliar arcade. What a daring kid.

"If you have the chance to visit Jinhua, remember to call me so I can treat you. Especially this cat, isn't it so cool?"

Xie Tailong generously invited Lin Ge and Luo Jue to his home, and then took out a piece of bubble gum from his pocket and handed it to Luo Jue. After Luo Jue waved it away, he actually tried to teach a cat how to blow bubbles, and didn't get angry even after being glared at by Lin Ge.

"Hey, you caught him?"

Luo Jue suddenly gasped in surprise.

Lin Ge and Xie Tailong looked over together, and sure enough, the blue cat stayed obediently on the hook and was steadily sent to the exit, where it slid smoothly into the cabin.

Luo Jue reaped the rewards after playing only a few rounds.

"I won't lose to you!"

Xie Tailong pursed his lips, blew out a large bubble that almost covered his face, and then quickly manipulated the machine to aim at the hairless cat below, which was the most difficult to catch. After adjusting the direction, he began to frantically swing his waist and kept hitting the button as if this would make the hook more powerful.

"whispering sound!"

Lin Ge stared speechlessly at the tabby cat plush toy that had once again fallen into the pile of toys. Seeing Luo Jue looking at him expectantly, he went over and nuzzled Luo Jue's arm, pointing to other toys on the other side, indicating that Luo Jue could try again. ...

Thirty minutes later, all five cat plushies were finally collected, along with several other extras.

With both the cat and the person satisfied, Xie Tailong led Luo Jue to exchange the other small toys at the front desk for two larger ones, and then exchanged his bag of toys for a mecha figure. Only then did he enthusiastically take Luo Jue to play other games.

Lin Ge, feeling somewhat bored, strolled out of the arcade and wandered around looking at the other shops.

After getting off the elevator and reaching the second floor, Lin Ge found that the area was full of clothing stores. Then he thought of Jiang Yan and Yang Xiaotong and decided to pick out a gift for them as well.

After browsing for half a day, he hadn't found anything suitable. There were actually two items he quite liked, but the shop assistants' attitude of chasing him away made Lin Ge lose any desire to increase her sales. Indeed, not everyone in this world likes cats.

Finally, Lin Ge picked out two bracelets in a silver jewelry shop run by a young woman, then turned back to Luo Jue to pay for them.

"You're doing it wrong!"

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard Xie Tailong's righteous and stern shouts, which could not be drowned out by the loud music.

They rushed over and saw Xie Tailong and Luo Jue confronting a young man with dyed white hair. Behind Xie Tailong was a little girl of about five or six years old, wiping away tears with her head down, and several game tokens were scattered on the ground around them.

"You knocked someone's coin over and didn't even apologize? You didn't even help her pick it up!"

Xie Tailong, facing an adult much older than himself, showed no fear whatsoever. He even pointed at the man and said, "What kind of skill is it to bully a little girl? You made her cry and then you were laughing. You have absolutely no manners!"

"None of your business, you little brat!"

The young man, feeling somewhat humiliated, could only glare fiercely at Xie Tailong and say, "If you keep babbling, do you believe I'll beat you up? I'm warning you, get out of here within three counts!"

"You dare to provoke me? I'll conquer the Shu Road!"

Xie Tailong showed no fear whatsoever, and his use of internet memes was exceptionally smooth.

"You little brat!"

Seeing that people around him were looking over and the murmurs were growing louder, the young man finally couldn't stand it anymore and approached Xie Tailong without saying a word.

"!"

Luo Jue stood silently in front of Xie Tailong, holding a foldable iron chair that she had somehow acquired, her face expressionless and eager to try it out.

"..."

The young man immediately chickened out.

He spat on the ground, pushed aside the people behind him, turned around and left, quickly disappearing outside the arcade.

"Hmph! Cowardly wretch! I'll strip him naked if he's ashamed!"

Xie Tailong, with his nose in the air, arrogantly said something nonsensical, then turned around to coax the little girl, squatted down, and began to seriously pick up the game coins from the ground.

Luo Jue also squatted down silently.

People around also helped pick up the game tokens, and soon all the game tokens that the little girl had lost were collected. In fact, there were even quite a few more, which made the little girl wipe away her tears and smile.

"Hehe... Awesome!"

Xie Tailong was finally satisfied and laughed heartily, looking up at the ground.

Luo Jue's gaze towards Xie Tailong also changed a lot.

This guy is totally his type! If the previous encounters were just coincidences with fellow travelers, now they're true partners. Although he also knows some righteous and spirited young women like Zhang Yining, Luo Jue doesn't really talk much with them. He doesn't actually have many friends, and this is the first time he's met a guy like Xie Tailong, which gives him a completely different feeling. Now, when they chat casually, he can respond to many things.

Luo Jue thought to herself that their relationship was getting better and better.

We also played motorcycle racing together, and the two were evenly matched.

Xie Tailong was skilled and proficient, while Luo Jue was quick-witted and agile. They managed to take the top two spots in the competition of ten people, making both of them extremely happy.

After exchanging contact information, Luo Jue reluctantly left.
