The weather in this coastal city changes all the time. The sky was still blue in the morning, but now the sun is covered by dark clouds, and the dark sky makes people feel a little breathless.
Lu Mingfei, who had just finished school, was wearing the uniform of Shilan Middle School and was trotting along the sidewalk. From the residential buildings on both sides of the street, enthusiastic aunts kept shouting: "If it rains, go home and collect your clothes!" The sound was like thunder.
Lu Mingfei walked through the intricate and long alleys in this "thunder" without any familiarity. Compared with his aunt, the skills of these aunts were obviously much worse.
Finally, he stopped at the door of an Internet cafe called "Jiaxing Internet Cafe". It can be seen that this is a very old Internet cafe. The large red paint characters on the sign at the door are mottled, and there are signs of slight peeling in many places.
"Boss, get on the plane and have another order of Master Kong's Braised Beef Noodles and a bottle of Nutrition Express." The skinny boy quickly took out 20 yuan in RMB from his school uniform pocket and put it on the counter.
The owner of this Internet cafe was a tall middle-aged man with a brand-name cigarette dangling from his mouth. He took the banknotes in one rough hand and skillfully took out four coins from the iron box next to the computer with his other hand to make change.
"Still the old rule, play for two hours first?" The boss is obviously an acquaintance of Lu Mingfei and knows that he usually has two hours left to play games from the time he gets off to the time he goes home.
Lu Mingfei nodded, counted four steel coins from the pine counter and put them into his trouser pocket. He opened the plastic curtain and walked straight in. The situation in front of him made him slightly surprised.
People who were supposed to stay in their respective positions and play games are now gathered in front of the same machine, watching attentively the live operation of a certain friend.
Driven by curiosity, Lu Mingfei shouted "I borrowed it" while pushing through the crowd of onlookers.
Although he was thin, he was at the upper-middle level among this group of people. He could still barely see the figure inside if he stood on tiptoe.
"Well, Su Xiaoqiang?" Lu Mingfei rubbed his eyes as if he had seen a ghost, thinking that he had seen the wrong person for a moment.
But he did see clearly this time. The beautiful little goddess in a purple skirt was sitting on the chair over there. Perhaps because the crowd around her was too crowded, her petite and exquisite body was always pressed tightly against the boy next to her.
"And Li Longyuan?" Lu Mingfei finally saw the man and woman who were tightly surrounded by the crowd of onlookers.
The boy was also not wearing a school uniform, and was still wearing a simple white T-shirt. Even though the black baseball cap was pressed tightly on his head, Lu Mingfei still recognized him at a glance. He indeed had the potential to be a good paparazzi.
At this time, the boy's right hand was holding the mouse and swinging it continuously. His left hand pressed on the keyboard to control the direction. From time to time, he stretched out his long and powerful fingers to tap on the keyboard like lightning.
He is playing a computer game called CS. The full name of the game is Counter-Strike.
The game divides players into two teams: CT (Justice Police) and T Battalion (Terrorists). Each team must fight multiple rounds on a map; the way to win a round is to achieve the goal required by the map, or to completely defeat the enemy. Destroy enemy players. This is currently the most popular game in Internet cafes and has the most players.
However, compared to this kind of gunfight game where you pick up a gun and shoot everywhere, Lu Mingfei still prefers StarCraft, which tests the overall situation awareness and micro-management.
His gameplay is roughly to stay up and spend resources continuously to build troops and bases. Send puppies to explore the road as early as possible in the early stage, and continue to conduct reconnaissance in the middle and later stages. After the tactics are formed, all combat arms are dispatched in one wave to take them away. The feeling of the gun and oar being wiped out while talking and laughing made Lu Mingfei so happy that he almost yelled, "Don't bully the young man into poverty."
Lu Mingfei's hands are fast and his awareness is not bad. He is regarded as a first-rate player in StarCraft. Many old players who know him in the Internet cafe will kindly shout "Mingming, I'm online again!" when they see him coming, and then ask him to play a game for them, and the reward is a bottle of Nutritional Express or a pack of spicy strips.
Lu Mingfei would happily accept this situation every time, because it would allow him to experience the feeling of being watched, which was a rare highlight moment in his ordinary life.
In the Internet cafe, the handsome young man is still moving the mouse in his hand quickly, and the perspective changes quickly and steadily. The character he plays belongs to the CT (Justice Police) camp, and he is constantly advancing along the hidden body with a Desert Eagle in his hand.
This pistol is made in Israel and is extremely cheap. You can buy it for 650 gold coins. Generally the first choice at the start, it is very powerful and is mostly used as a secondary gun equipped with a sniper rifle.
"Oh, someone came over at three o'clock." Just when the onlookers saw the traces of the enemy, the boy wearing a baseball cap quickly switched the pistol to the main weapon. That is an AWP sniper rifle. As the most powerful gun in CS, it has a super long range.
Then, without opening the camera, he shot him directly in the head. At the same time that the red skull appeared on the computer screen, the first kill sound effect sounded.
"OMG, blind sniper!" People in the crowd kept exclaiming.
The so-called blind sniper refers to players who generally do not use sniper rifles but use pistols to accelerate forward. When they suddenly encounter an opponent at close or medium-range distances, they use the aiming point of the pistol to directly cut the AWP and shoot at the opponent without opening the scope. gun.
This kind of operation relies heavily on the player's hand speed and keen observation. After all, without opening the scope, shooting based on the previous aiming point of the pistol is too low in accuracy and the requirements are too high. Someone who can play so skillfully is like a god.
"2 kills!" While the crowd around him was still marveling, the character controlled by the boy jumped down from the box and shot to death the second terrorist who was hiding behind the door with his head slightly exposed while he was in mid-air.
Jumping sniper is a kind of sniper shooting operation. Using a moving aiming point that's in the air for a split second to hit enemies requires players to react quickly and be good at timing.
"Oh, oh, oh,..." The gunfight scene became more and more tense and exciting. The pictures on the computer screen were switching rapidly. The crowd watching the battle didn't even see a figure. The young man had already raised his gun and sniped the person to death.
Careful people noticed that the boy took less than one second to aim each time, but his accuracy was terrifying. Moreover, his character is always on the move, which undoubtedly greatly increases the difficulty of the game. He is a veritable sniper master.
As a result, they couldn't think of any other way to express their inner shock except loud praise.
Su Xiaoqiang, who was sitting next to him, raised his hands to cover his ears. He might have been disturbed by the violent noise of the crowd. She has never played games, so she has never been to an Internet cafe like this.
But this did not prevent her from appreciating the operation of the boy in front of her, even though she just glanced at the screen for a moment, the dizziness caused by it made her want to vomit.
So she had no choice but to stare at the handsome and fair profile of the boy next to her. A sweet smile appeared on her face, and the boy who was serious about playing games naturally didn't notice it.
Su Xiaoqiang, who covered her ears with a pair of white and tender hands, even thought that it would be nice to stop time at this moment forever. Even in this noisy Internet cafe, even if she was surrounded by irrelevant people, she only had eyes for the boy in front of her.
Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoqiang who had a happy smile on his face, and quickly covered his face to withdraw from the crowd, for fear of being recognized.
It was so pitiful that he saw the little goddess showing such a heart-warming smile to Li Longyuan. This was going to be bad. If the little goddess found out, she wouldn't be silenced, right? Many thoughts flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind in an instant.
As Chen Wenwen's number one horse boy, ah, the number one flower protector. Lu Mingfei has always had a strong sense of protecting the Lord. Therefore, it was very difficult to deal with Su Xiaoqiang, who had always been arrogant and domineering in the class and competed with Chen Wenwen for the class beauty.
Of course, this was also because on the first day of school, Lu Mingfei stood next to the young and beautiful little girl in a Gucci dress. He pointed at Chen Wenwen, who was wearing a white cotton skirt, and said, "That one is probably The new class in our class is flowery."
Since then, the little goddess has been having trouble with him in the class and stabbing him from time to time.
Of course, he knew that the other party had no ill feelings, but was just a little bored. After all, with her arrogant and queenly temperament, it is really difficult to make true friends in the class who can say a few words of appreciation for herself.
In fact, Lu Mingfei had heard about Li Longyuan from the little goddess for a long time. She praised this boy so highly that it was rare in the world. When she spoke, his beautiful eyes seemed to have stars in them.
At that time, almost everyone in the class knew that the domineering and arrogant little goddess had someone she liked in her heart, but they didn't know his name.
Sometimes he was so angry that Su Xiaoqiang always laughed at him, and occasionally he would retaliate, saying that she was a stupid rich man and a queen with a poisonous tongue. At most, she would be stepped on hard. But if she said that the boy she often talked about was a fiction, she would be really angry and ignore him for several days.
Lu Mingfei was quite happy for his little goddess now. The boy he had been thinking about suddenly appeared in front of him and was assigned to the same class as his deskmate. This was simply an opportunity sent by God.
Even if the boy hasn't realized that Su Xiaoqiang likes him yet, at least the two of them have more opportunities to get along.
Perhaps it was the feeling of sympathy deep in his heart that Lu Mingfei sincerely wished the little goddess to find her own happiness.
Although in his eyes Chen Wenwen is the prettiest, the little goddess's appearance is not bad either. It's just that the queen's style naturally feels oppressive to a weak child like himself, so in his heart he still appreciates the clinging style of a little bird like Chen Wenwen.
Now it seems that even a little goddess can be as gentle as water, but she has never met the right person before.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but smile stupidly.
"Lu Mingfei, why are you here?" came a slightly surprised female voice, and Lu Mingfei's figure stagnated slightly.
At some point, the crowd of people watching had dispersed. The handsome boy put down the black over-the-ear headphones with a calm look on his face, and the faint sound of his teammates' excited celebrations in the chat channel could be heard.
Su Xiaoqiang looked up and saw Lu Mingfei, who was standing not far from them and smiling low, looking a little stupid.
"Ah, ah, I, I often come here to surf the Internet." Although he was obviously a regular customer, Lu Mingfei stood up slightly involuntarily when he answered, as if he was replying to the officer's question.
"Is this your first time here to surf the Internet?" Lu Mingfei asked, scratching his head, perhaps wanting to find a topic to break the previous embarrassment.
"Well, we happened to be passing by, and since I've never been to an Internet cafe before, if I'm interested, I'll come in and see what it's like." Li Longyuan took over with a gentle smile on his face.
"Then what other games do you want to try? I'm familiar with this Internet cafe. I can introduce it to you." Lu Mingfei has always had a good impression of Li Longyuan, and even took the initiative to take on the role of introducer.
"Thank you, classmate Lu, for your kindness, but it's a bit late today. Let's check it out next time." Li Longyuan declined politely, leaving plenty of respect for Lu Mingfei in his words.
Perhaps it was the first time that he was treated seriously by someone of the same level as Senior Brother Chu, and he was obviously at a loss.
"Well, well, okay, you are welcome to come back next time." Lu Mingfei nodded and smiled, just like the madam in the brothel in ancient times. While waving goodbye to the guests, he shouted softly: "Next time, officer Come again!"
