Chapter 193 Exchange Community Experience (Part 2)

The three-clawed robotic arm had already firmly grasped the eyeball figurine and began to wiggle it upwards. It was too high up for Tang Xin Jue to reach.
"Guo...Guo..."
Zheng Wanqing also reacted, and the Barbie doll's small mouth began to utter syllables with difficulty again.
The captured pink eyeball's pupils were swirling with fear, but probably because it had no mouth, it could not make any sound and could only convey a message for help through its eyes.
Seeing the robotic arm rise to its highest point again and start moving towards the exit, Tang Xinjue pushed the crystal ball in the same direction without hesitation.
"Great!" The child stared at the robotic arm with his terrifyingly large eyes, clapping his hands even harder.
From his perspective, this was supposed to be incredibly lucky and good news. The claw machine actually managed to pull something smoothly and even successfully move it above the exit.
"Bang!"
A doll fell out.
The little boy was stunned for two seconds before squatting down. As soon as he took it out, he burst into tears: "Wow - this is not the big eyeball I want!"
Inside the doll machine case, a pink eyeball was lying next to the exit, its pupils shrinking in fear.
She had actually fallen down just now, but at the same moment, Tang Xinjue pushed another doll down with a glass ball, which collided with the big eyeball and stuck her to the edge of the exit.
"Can you move?"
Tang Xin Jue slowly rolled to the vicinity of Guo Guo.
The pupil in the eye shakes left and right, indicating that it is not possible.
At this moment, the sound of a mother beating her child could be heard outside the claw machine:
"It's good enough to catch one, and you want a second game coin? I think you look like a game coin!"
In the end, the "Meat Mountain" held the "Stickman" under his arms and stormed away, and the three people in the machine finally regained a sense of security.
No, there is no safety at all in being turned into a toy and staying in this weird claw machine!
Tang Xinjue rushed to Zheng Wanqing again and pushed the Barbie doll to the exit.
Zheng Wanqing is physically disabled but determined: "Zhang... You..."
Tang Xin Jue: "I didn't find the fourth doll that has the breath of a living person. Zhang You is probably not here."
She asked the two to wait for a moment, and she sat in the crystal ball with her eyes closed.
Zheng Wanqing: "You... pull out... hair... for... what..."
[I am establishing a spiritual realm with you.]
A familiar voice suddenly rang out in their minds, and the other three were a little dazed for a moment.
After all, due to the deliberate restrictions of the game, Tang Xinjue had hardly used his mental power in two consecutive copies, and even the chat room in the minds of the four people had not been opened for a long time.
The most excited person is Guo Guo:
[Wow, I love you so much, Jueshen. I can finally speak. God knows I feel like I'm stuffed in a cotton bag right now, and I feel like I'm about to be buried in the ground... By the way, where's Sister You?]
[I am here.]
When Zhang You spoke, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
This at least proves that all four are still alive - albeit in some strange form.
"I don't know where you are, but I'm not with you."
Zhang You was as calm as ever and got straight to the point.
"We were in a claw machine. We couldn't see the shape or color of the machine from inside, but we all became the dolls inside."
Tang Xinjue briefly described the situation of the three people.
Zhang You was silent for two seconds before saying, "I think I know where you are. I'll be there right now."
The glass box of the claw machine blocked their view and they could not see the scene beyond a certain distance, so they waited cautiously and quietly in place.
Tang Xin Jue asked Guo Guo and Zheng Wanqing about their specific feelings and whether they could try to break free. They both gave the same answer:
"no."
Zheng Wanqing sighed heavily in her mind, her voice like she was holding back her energy, and it was clear she had been struggling for a long time.
"I feel like I'm not a Barbie doll, but I'm trapped inside this thing unless someone peels it off for me."
Tang Xin Jue said, "Not necessarily. Look at your right hand."
Looking in the direction of the reflection in the glass, Zheng Wanqing also fell silent.
In the reflection of the glass, Barbie's silver metal right arm is particularly eye-catching.
Not to mention they were all trapped here, even if they could move, they wouldn't dare to act rashly. Facing a dungeon that started out like a dream, who knew how many pitfalls were waiting behind.
Guo Guo was sad but also tried to be positive: "It's okay, even though my skills and the young lady's fists can't be used, but the spirit power of the God of Jue can still be used!"
Tang Xin Jue ended her fantasy: "My mental strength is so constrained that I can only support chatting with you in my mind."
It is not impossible to try to extend the breakthrough, but you have to wait at least half an hour.
Before that, they will probably meet up with Zhang You first.
But before they could catch a glimpse of Zhang You, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in their sight.
The child's enlarged face quietly rose from under the machine and pressed tightly against the glass surface.
Three people: "..."
The little boy who had sneaked back at some point showed a toothless smile: "Hehe, big eyeballs, hehe..."
Guo Guo screamed in the spiritual realm: "Help! Why is it back? Don't come over here!!"
However, the mechanical claw had moved again and accurately grabbed the big eyeball next to it.
With a look of despair in its eyes, its claws slowly rose to the top, then shook heavily, and its eyeballs fell down again.
The little boy opened his eyes wider in shock. He had never experienced the tricks of claw machines before and his face was confused. He didn't understand why the doll suddenly fell down.
I almost succeeded in the last round!
So he didn't believe it and changed it for a third game coin, then a fourth, and a fifth...
When she fell to the end, Guo Guo gave up screaming and waited numbly for the robotic arm to repeat the process.
Tang Xinjue, who was guarding the exit, also noticed another thing:
The child seems to have become thinner.
It wasn't a visual error, but as the other party exchanged more and more game coins, his body seemed to be drained of air, and his skin collapsed and flattened - but the little boy, who had become a skeleton, seemed to be completely unaware of this.
"The coins are gone..."
The boy didn’t know how many game coins he had used up, but when he found that he could no longer exchange them for anything, his mouth suddenly drooped and he sat on the ground and burst into tears.
"Cry, cry louder." Guo Guo silently encouraged in his mind, hoping very much that his mother would take him back.
However, things did not go as planned. After crying for a while, the child came up with a new idea. He fiddled with it and took out a red notebook, tore a piece of paper from it and stuffed it into the machine.
The claw machine immediately made a ding sound and spit out a large number of game coins. The child was so happy that he cheered and started playing again immediately.
Finally, Guo Guo was caught by the robotic arm again and sent to the top of the exit.
At the moment she fell, Tang Xinjue pushed out another solid doll, which hit her eyeball accurately again.
Child:"……"
The child screamed and cried in anger, and was furious for a long time before he finally realized the cold reality: with the disruptive crystal ball there, the big eyeball could not fall out smoothly.
After staring at Tang Xinjue fiercely for several seconds, he suddenly started hitting and pushing the claw machine hard, making it creak.
"Help, what's this kid doing!"
Guo Guo became frightened again. She was too close to the outlet and might fall in if the machine shook even slightly.
"Is there no one in charge watching over these claw machines? They're just letting people destroy them?"
When Guo Guo was puzzled, the glass box holding the doll suddenly made a crisp sound of breaking.
Guo Guo was stunned: "If I heard correctly..."
Tang Xin Jue immediately concluded: "The claw machine is broken."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire side glass facing the three of them burst open, leaving a chilling crack, and a huge skull-like face of a child whizzed in!
Guo Guo: "It's over. I might have to leave a last word."
The child's hand grabbed the eyeball doll, and after it jumped out of the claw machine, the child grinned and laughed.
However, while giggling, he took out a pair of scissors from his pocket, grabbed a corner of the doll and was about to cut it open -
Guo Guo: “???”
You went through so much trouble to get the toy, only to cut it into pieces?
When its life was hanging by a thread, the eyeball doll finally miraculously burst out with its last vitality: in a place that the naughty child didn't notice at all, it began to tremble slightly by an amplitude of one millimeter.
Guo Guo: "...Forget it, I'll just leave a last word."
On the other side, two objects rolled out of the claw machine one after another. After Tang Xinjue pushed Zheng Wanqing down, he jumped down himself. As soon as he landed, he heard Guo Guo's exclamation.
——But it was not because of the scissors, but because a red toy car suddenly rushed out from the corner and gave the naughty kid a sliding tackle from behind!
The naughty child fell on his back, and the eyeball doll also fell to the ground.
Zhang You's voice then rang out: "Hurry up!"
Tang Xinjue immediately rolled to Guo Guo's side, pushed the Barbie doll and the eyeball doll onto the toy car, and then turned behind the toy car.
When the naughty child stopped crying and got up, the dolls had already disappeared.
"Now we can sort out the situation."
In a quiet and secluded corner, four people, or rather four toys, looked at each other.
What is certain now is that Tang Xinjue turned into a little man in a crystal ball, Zheng Wanqing turned into a Barbie doll with a metal arm, Guo Guo turned into a doll with big eyeballs, and Zhang You was the most outrageous - she turned into a toy car.
Is this what is called a "transformation community"?
Zhang You said, "We probably haven't entered the community yet. When I was rushing over here just now, I saw two arched doors next to each other, leading to two different entrances. There were signs on them saying 'Change Community'."
Tang Xinjue pondered, "Perhaps we need to actually enter the community before we can have a chance of returning to our original appearance."
At least in their current state, they cannot find any useful information.
So, as soon as one disaster is solved, the next pressing problem arises:
How will they reach the community entrance safely?
Before the discussion was over, a sharp sound of scolding pierced the air and came from afar:
"You little brat, you stole my money to buy so many game coins and even broke the machine? I'm going to beat you to a pulp..."
Amidst the sound of spanking, the child cried and shouted, "I want my toys, my toys!"
"What toys do you want? You can't even get them out after smashing the machine, you loser!"
"I caught it, it's the toys that move! They bumped into me... burp... and then ran away!"
The scolding and beating suddenly stopped, and the mother's voice became a little subtle:
"Tell me again, the toy ran away by itself? Are you sure?"
