After walking a certain distance in the direction told by the supermarket cashier girl, Chen Xing saw a lighted sign for a beautiful foot bath on the side, which looked quite plain.
This signboard is at a corner. From here, you can walk into a small alley or a side entrance of the community. Anyway, after entering from this alley, there is a wall on the right, and outside the wall is the street that Chen Xing walked through just now.
On the left is a convenience store, Cainiao Inn, etc. There are also some that look like they are for breakfast, but they are closed now.
He saw an Internet cafe in Jingcheng here, but he still couldn't find where to get in at the first time.
Finally, I found out that there is an Internet cafe on the third floor from the unit door.
This is so hidden.
If an Internet cafe is opened in a place like this, besides the nearby students and people living in this community, who would know that there is an Internet cafe here. It is estimated that those parents who are looking for their children will not be able to find them for a while.
The stakes are high.
This Internet cafe is also very large. There are sofas and tables on the side facing the street. There is also a pot of green radish on the table. The environment looks like a coffee shop. Then there is the bar of the Internet cafe, which also has a lobby and booths. , E-sports area and so on.
Chen Xing has been to the e-sports areas of other Internet cafes. His favorite is the e-sports area designed in a circle, with five computers on each side. It would be great to hold an Internet cafe competition in this kind of place.
But the e-sports area here only has five computers in the corner, and there are only five computers.
The configuration should also be different from those outside. The chassis in the e-sports area are all equipped with light bars, which look very cool.
As expected, Chen Xing found many students in school uniforms here.
Most people in Internet cafes are still playing League of Legends. This game is one of the rare evergreens among PC games. Although some people leave the game every year to play other games, by the end of the game, maybe half a year later, maybe a year later. After that, I will still choose to go to LOL and play a few games.
Chen Xing is not in a hurry to find someone to photograph. Boys and girls have different ways of making friends. If he rushes up to chat, others may immediately respond:
"Who the hell are you??"
There was a computer in the booth for two people, and the seats were sofas. Chen Xing opened a computer here.
"Unit K08 is the strongest king from the top of the canyon. Jingcheng welcomes you."
After this voice appeared in the Internet cafe, it immediately caused a stir.
Although it is already 2023, the monthly activity of this game is still the highest among all games. Top of the Canyon is an area where great gods gather. Being able to win the strongest king means that you are the most powerful group of Chinese players. people.
In other words, in this season, Chen Xing is one of the two hundred most powerful players in the country.
The internet cafe was like moles in Whac-a-Mole, with rows of people standing up and looking towards Chen Xing.
Chen Xing glanced at it.
The older ones didn't stand up very much, but were just chatting with their friends out of curiosity. Now the students who stood up and looked towards them were all the students.
Many high schools with average rankings don't have that much pressure. If you study in such a school, doing well in exams will be useless, but if you play well in games, you will get at least half of the class's attention.
Chen Xing ignored them, clicked to start queuing, and looked for takeout on his phone.
I have been looking for this kind of Internet cafe before, but I haven't bothered to eat here yet.
After waiting in line for several minutes, there was no movement. Some people who gathered around gradually dispersed, but some people opened the computer next to Chen Xing and said to Chen Xing: "The beef noodles here are delicious."
"Um."
However, Chen Xing did not choose beef noodles in the end, and ordered a portion of tofu noodles and tofu curd.
When he looked up, Chen Xing hadn't queued up yet, but the guy he was talking to just now was playing in the auxiliary position. Chen Xing saw that they could move well, so he asked, "What rank are they at?"
"Golden Two, I can't get up, and I always encounter bad AD."
"It's true that it's a bit difficult to play solo in the bottom lane."
This boy is about 16 or 17, and his skin is a bit dark.
This is also the most common situation among middle and high school students nowadays. A girl like the girl before is tall, fair and beautiful. It can only be said that her family is rich, and she has taught her children how to dress up since they were young, and their lives are also more refined.
Even though Chen Xing is tall, fair, handsome and has such a good temperament now, when he was studying in a higher vocational school, he was similar to this boy.
Wearing relatively large rimless glasses, his slightly smaller eyes were staring at the computer, looking very serious.
Well, this guy can.
I don’t know if it will be all night, but they will be at school tomorrow morning so I can take a few pictures.
Chen Xing's game is also open.
He plays this number mainly to keep his score, otherwise his score will drop if he doesn't play for a long time.
Four people suddenly entered the chat area.
Scout is in the middle, the jungler is jungler, and Ah Shui and Meiko are in the bottom lane.
These two people should be in a duo queue, but don’t these professional players like to play in the Korean server? Why are there three in the queue today?
Meiko and Chen Xing met in Iceland. Now that they saw the ID, they immediately typed: "It's been a long time since I saw you playing games, Brother Xing."
"I've returned to China and have nothing to do now."
Scout sent a string of dots, and Chen Xing also said hello to him.
"Do you know each other? Have you met?" Ah Shui said.
Chen Xing’s ID has always been mysterious in the professional circle. Many coaches of professional teams want to drag Chen Xing to play professionally. After all, someone who plays solo lane so well is very popular in the LPL professional arena. They really lack good talents. Top laner.
But no one could be found.
Chen Xing has also expressed several times that he has no intention of playing professionally.
Meiko sent a string of hahaha, and then said: "Can I say it? Brother Xing?"
"What did you say? Talk about me? Okay."
Meiko typed again: "I just want to give you a hint. A few days ago, Brother Xing was the first in the search, promoting the book he wrote. Haha, Brother Xing, I have already bought it. The writing is so good that it makes me want to go to France. Traveling."
A water:"???"
At this time the game started.
The young man next to him glanced at Chen Xing when he was resurrected. The ID on the loading page was very conspicuous.
"Holy shit! Brother Shuizi? Damn it! Is this Kasa on the other side?"
These two were the only ones whose IDs were easy to recognize, and he didn't recognize the others, but these two people already made this young man not want to play his own game.
There is a master next to him. The king of masters can probably get platinum if he shows a little skill from his fingers.
It's 15 o'clock quickly, don't delay me to see the master's operation.
The people behind Chen Xing were also excited. More and more people were watching, and everyone was analyzing who the person was. Then Meiko was really analyzed by them, and Scout in the middle probably wouldn't be able to hide for long. This group of people is checking the results one by one.
With so many people around, Chen Xing was a little worried about being recognized.
But then I thought, I'm scared.
There are all students here, and they are all men. They are envious of my game playing skills, not my celebrity status. There is nothing to worry about, the show will be over.
Chen Xing chose a crocodile and prepared to defeat the opposite Douyin anchor online.
The time was getting later and later, and the people behind him changed one after another.
The later the time is, the easier it is to line up at the top of the canyon, but there are always a certain number of people. After watching a few more games, this group of students also knew that Chen Xing knew many professional players. One person asked: "Brother, I am a 17-year-old extraordinary master in Bandle City. Is there any hope that I can play professionally?"
Before Chen Xing came, he was already the most powerful person in this Internet cafe. As soon as the Internet cafe announced the online announcement, someone immediately bought drinks and delivered them.
Very scenic.
My academic performance is not good, and only in this virtual world can I feel a warmth that is not found in life. I really like this game and want to be a professional player, but I have never had the opportunity or found a good channel.
"Extraordinary Master..."
Seeing the longing look in his brother who was not much younger than him, Chen Xing really didn't want to hit him.
"Well, extraordinary master." He said.
Chen Xing thought for a moment and said:
"Let me put it this way. Nowadays, professional teams are looking for youth training for the king level. It is not difficult to find the king now, right? There are two hundred in each zone. If it is a bit difficult for you to go to extraordinary or grandmaster, then you should take the college entrance examination. .”
"That's it...then what if I can become the king?"
"Then see if anyone sends you a message asking you to try out. Also, follow the professional team's Weibo. Just sign up when they recruit youth training."
Chen Xing didn't say help. Although this person meant to ask Chen Xing to do a favor, he really didn't want to do this kind of favor.
Those who have not entered a professional team at the age of 16 or 17 are the time to prove themselves by scoring points. Who among professional players was not a passerby before becoming a professional player? Even if a king cannot enter the profession, he will be abused by others, and he will be scolded if he does not play well.
Why bother.
Just play this game for fun.
Chen Xing took a sip of the Coke given to him by the support guy next to him. Seeing how fascinated he was in playing the game, he asked, "How about I take a photo for you?"
"Okay, okay, how do you want to shoot?"
He didn't even look at Chen Xing when he spoke. It was just as a team battle started in the game.
"Just play with yours."
Chen Xing took out a camera from his bag to take pictures of him, and took pictures of him playing games in this Internet cafe... Not to mention, his serious expression really looked like a professional player. I met a classmate from my former class.
After taking a few pictures, Chen Xing put the camera back in his backpack and played a few games himself.
Instead of playing the tuba, he played an Ionian trumpet.
Currently, this account is still on the third level. Chen Xing is doing all kinds of super things in it, and he even got a pentakill. Alerts sounded from time to time in the Internet cafe, causing a lot of discussion.
It costs 20 yuan to become a member at an Internet cafe, and you can play until six in the morning. There is still 35 in the card, and there are a lot of drinks given by the gods. Chen Xing distributed these drinks to the surrounding students.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Xing woke up some of his dozing brothers and said, "Let's go. You agreed last night that I would take photos for you. Don't sleep. I'll go to class later."
Chen Xing still understands them, or in other words, he understands male students who don't study well.
He is only 20 years old, three or four years older than these people, and there is no generation gap when chatting. Chen Xing was also experiencing the same life as them a few years ago, and he has become familiar with them after staying up all night for a few hours.
"OK OK, rush!"
Chen Xing said that he was a photographer and their photos would be included in videos that would be watched by many people. This made several boys very excited. Anyway, Chen Xing promised not to take any direct shots, so what is there to be afraid of? Even if you take a full-face shot, it's okay.
A group of six people walked out of the Internet cafe.
Chen Xing always felt that the backpack was much lighter. When he put it on his back, he felt that something was wrong. When he walked out of the Internet cafe and was blown by the cold wind outside, he felt that something was wrong even more.
Open your backpack and look through it.
For a moment, Chen Xing's heart almost stopped.
Where is my camera? (End of chapter)
