Cataclysm: Precognition system vs. luck system

"Wow, the space inside is even bigger than it looks from the outside. Did they use some kind of space folding technology?"

"The lights are so bright, and it looks just like a normal supermarket. It doesn't look like a spooky store at all."

A group of people rushed in and looked around curiously, their eyes shining as they saw the bright and new super supermarket inside.

"Come on, go on, let's go in and take a look."

The crowd at the door immediately walked towards the sales area inside with great interest. Some went to the snack area, some went to the daily necessities area, and some went to the vegetable and fruit area. Of course, more people went to the game props area.

Si Tiantian and the others had everything they needed, so they naturally went straight to the game props area.

"Hey, is this a claw machine? It's really interesting."

Si Tiantian's eyes lit up as she looked at the nine machines in the game props area that looked like claw machines.

However, the things inside were not the beautiful plush toys that you see at the entrance of ordinary supermarkets, but ferocious human-shaped dolls with missing arms and legs, as well as a very small number of game props, such as peace jade, peach wood swords, and rosary bracelets.

The first thing Si Tiantian noticed was the largest claw machine in the middle, with a colorful sign on it that read, "There's a big prize inside: an A-grade game prop substitute doll~".

In addition, there are two smaller claw machines on the left and right sides, which also have large-character signs on them, which read "The biggest prize is a B-level game prop, which is a rejuvenation drug~" and "The biggest prize is a B-level game prop, which is a permanent beauty drug~".

The other six claw machines also have labels on them, but the levels of the game props decrease in sequence to "C-level", "D-level" and "E-level". In short, each claw machine has a gimmick that can attract people to try it out.

It is these gimmicks that dilute the panic and fear that people feel when they see the ferocious human-shaped dolls with missing arms and legs.

"The biggest one costs 100 ghost notes, which is great. I'm a master at claw machines, so getting A-level game props should be easy, hahaha..."

A young man with dyed yellow hair laughed excitedly, as if he was afraid that others would snatch the prize from him. He quickly ran ahead of everyone else to the largest claw machine.

Two young men with red and blue hair immediately followed, holding up their phones, and started to cheer with a playful smile, "Brother Mao, Brother Mao, the people on the live broadcast can't wait any longer, show us your skills and pick out the A-level stand-in doll."

"It's said that these A-grade game props haven't even appeared yet, and they haven't even been listed on the Weird and Special Office website. Brother Cat, if you can get them, you'll be famous. Becoming an overnight sensation isn't a dream!"

The yellow-haired Mao Ge's mouth corners were almost grinning to the back of his ears. He glared at them and said, "Keep a low profile. It hasn't been picked out yet. It's not too late to be happy when I pick it out."

As he said this, he broke his arms and did a set of exaggerated warm-up exercises. Then, at the instigation of his red-haired and blue-haired brothers, he took out 100 ghost banknotes, stuffed them into the claw machine, and prepared to start grabbing.

Seeing that he was willing to be the first to try something new, Si Tiantian and the others naturally had no intention of stopping him and instead watched from the side.

Si Tiantian tried hard to recall the rules about the strange shop in the fortune book, but unfortunately she found nothing. She guessed that the memory related to the rules was erased to prevent her from cheating.

The machine started, and the iron clamp in the claw machine began to move slowly under the control of the yellow-haired young man. Its target was a scarecrow doll among a group of ferocious human-shaped dolls with missing arms and legs. This was the substitute doll.

This yellow-haired guy really has some skills. The iron clamp bypassed the vicious human-shaped doll and went straight to the top of the substitute doll. Then he pressed the button and the iron clamp began to fall.

The audience before the live broadcast and Si Tiantian and others who were watching nearby all had their hearts in their throats and looked at the iron clamp nervously, but unfortunately, it was a little crooked and instead of picking up the scarecrow doll, it hooked the scarecrow's arm, and the iron clamp missed its target and retracted.

The first time I grabbed the doll, I failed.

The yellow-haired man froze his smile, then he smiled again and said, "It's a mistake, my friends. It's my first time playing this claw machine, and I'm not very familiar with it. I'm sure I can do it next time."

Being young and full of vigor, he immediately took out another 100-yuan bill and stuffed it in, continuing to operate the iron clamp. This time he still missed the scarecrow doll, but caught a ferocious doll without a head.

He frowned immediately, and said arrogantly, "Tsk, my family, I made a small mistake again this time. Next time..."

As he spoke, he continued to take out the strange banknotes from his pocket, but before he could finish his words and the strange banknotes had just been taken out of his pocket, his head suddenly exploded like a watermelon.

The comments on the live broadcast stopped, and the people watching were stunned. The little brothers with red and blue fur were even more frightened, and then screamed in fear, "Ah, Brother Cat's head exploded, head, head is gone..."

Si Tiantian took a small step back to avoid the splattered blood, then looked at the headless corpse that fell to the ground with a bang, and then looked at the headless ferocious doll that had fallen out.

"It seems playing claw machines can be risky. If you grab one of those menacing dolls that's missing limbs, the missing body part will be the same as the menacing doll. This kid was unlucky; the doll he grabbed was headless. If it had been missing limbs, maybe it could have been saved."

The crowd who were originally eager to try the claw machine immediately backed away from it. They were dazzled by the big prizes inside and almost forgot the insidiousness of the weird game.

How could it be possible for players to get the advanced game props so easily? They were just thinking too much.

After a while, this live broadcast quickly became a hot topic on the Internet, quickly triggering screams and heated discussions.

At the same time, there were also people in strange shops all over the country who did not believe in superstition and tried the claw machines, resulting in countless disabled people with missing limbs. In addition to the yellow-haired guy here, there were two other cases of people who died directly without their heads. Without exception, all three of them became headless corpses in front of the largest claw machine. It can be seen that the danger probability setting of the largest claw machine must be higher than that of the other machines.

Si Tiantian turned her attention to the claw machine at the very end that had the "biggest prize, an E-grade thermos cup inside." She had never played this thing before, so she decided to practice on the easiest and simplest one first to get familiar with it. Besides, this claw machine only cost 1 ghost note to play once.
