DNF Return to 2008

Chapter 11 Emo Girl
Phoenix Internet Cafe, just as the girl with smoky makeup said, there are a lot of fun things to do.

The two came to a busy shopping mall and took the elevator to the third floor, where there was actually an entire floor of video game arcades.

Rows of arcade machines with hand-cranked joysticks, images of Street Fighter, Three Kingdoms, and King of Fighters flashed by, followed by exciting electronic music.

Others include racing cars, dance machines, and even PSP game consoles.

A group of young people wearing wide-crotch jeans were dancing street dance on the smooth floor, doing things like Thomas turns, and the sound of Usher's rap "Yeah!" came from their built-in speakers.

An Yi followed the girl with smoky makeup and walked around in circles before finally finding the so-called Phoenix Internet Cafe at a dim entrance.

"I'll go in by myself. You wait for me outside, or you can go back directly. Thank you for the car."

An Yi stood at the door and took a look. It was very dark inside. It was specially set up like this by the Internet cafe to reduce the customers' perception of time inside.

If he were in a strange internet cafe, he wouldn't mind it, but the girl was kind-hearted and a daughter of a wealthy family. It is said that a daughter of a wealthy family should not sit in the hall. If something happened, he really couldn't bear the responsibility...

After all, the public security in 08 was only average. Places like Internet cafes, where all kinds of people mixed together, were frequent locations for public security incidents.

"Tsk~ I can see that you are a coward!"

The girl with smoky makeup sneered, and then said happily: "It's okay, I'm very familiar with this place. My sisters and I used to come here often on weekends..."

After that, she walked in first.

An Yi had no choice but to follow him in.

"There are at least three hundred machines..."

After entering the Internet cafe, you will see LCD computers everywhere. In addition to the general area, there are also many booths and even private rooms.

You know, Maple Leaf Internet Cafe only has booths and no private rooms at all.

Fortunately, this Phoenix Internet Cafe is very formal and not as dangerous as he had imagined. It is just a little more upscale than Maple Leaf, but the occupancy rate of the computers is not that high.

An Yi followed the girl with smoky makeup to Area C and found the most handsome man in Liwan who was selling game coins.

"Alpaca, he's weak again and is back in the city!"

Sitting in front of the computer was a well-mannered young man who looked like a college student.

On the screen, he was playing a Sword Soul class, and was teaming up with others to play the new dungeon released today, the Lava Cave.

The ground is full of red magma, skeleton throwers, ferocious zombies, burning Hera, soul eaters...

The level 45 Sword Soul teamed up with three teammates of similar levels, and was beaten badly by the three lava giants. Some of them were resurrected three or four times, and finally had to return to the city weakly.

The lava caves these days are not the lava caves of the later period. Not only do the monsters have high defense, but the damage is also extremely abnormal. If you are not careful, you will lose your life.

Even the green-named monster Soul Eater inside didn't know why its blue bar disappeared after being tickled twice.

"The most handsome man in Liwan?"

Seeing that the opponent’s weak state was about to recover and he was ready to continue the challenge, An Yi patted the opponent on the shoulder.

The gentleman turned around, pushed up his white-framed glasses, and asked tentatively, "Are you the one who cheated on you and came here to buy game coins?"

"Yes, it's me."

An Yi nodded and started the machine next to him.

The two exchanged a few words of greeting. As both were DNF players, they naturally felt a sense of familiarity and quickly became closer to each other.

"Since you can come to my place, let's split it at 1:8. I happen to have over million dollars, so I'll give it all to you at dollars."

The college student was very straightforward. He entered all the gold coins he had into the transaction column.

"You can't do that. The transaction limit should be divided into two batches."

Seeing this, An Yi explained: "Your character is level 45, mine is 46, and the transaction limit is 2050 million."

"Ah? Is there still such a thing?"

The college student was confused, "How did you calculate that?"

He had actually been following DNF since the closed beta and got into it on the first day of the public beta, but this was the first time he heard of such a thing.

An Yi smiled and explained: "It's very simple. The square of your character level is the upper limit of the gold coins you can trade in a day."

The college student suddenly realized.

Fortunately, both of them had two or three roles, and after two attempts, they successfully completed the transaction.

An Yi took out three hundred dollars from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

"Brother, I see you know a lot. How about adding me on QQ so we can play maps together in the future?" The college student just stroked the banknote and put it in his wallet.

"Uh, actually this account is not mine..." Seeing the other party's enthusiasm, An Yi said truthfully: "I have just played for a few days, and my level is a bit low. If you don't mind, then add it."

"It's okay. I'm also planning to train a battle mage. I heard that profession is fun when it comes to PKing thieves..."

The college student waved his hand and said with a smile: "We will level up together then."

There is nothing wrong with being comfortable, so the two of them added each other’s Penguin account.

“I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly.”

The transaction was completed and An Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He has already received nearly 375 of the dollars that Brother Hua asked him to pay. He can make another trip to get the rest, or use QB to collect small amounts, and he will definitely be able to complete the task successfully.

"What's your DNF? Is it fun?" The girl with smoky makeup who had been following behind suddenly asked.

An Yi turned around and almost forgot that there was a rich woman following him.

"It's okay. This game will be popular in the future." An Yi still answered the other party very affirmatively.

The girl with smoky makeup obviously didn't believe it. "Tsk~ You're just bragging again. How can you, a small network administrator, know whether a new game will be popular?"

"It's because I'm the network administrator that I know this!"

Anyi smiled calmly.

If it were about astronomy, geography, international futures, or the situation in the Persian Gulf... he might not understand much.

But if he talks about which game will be popular, he won't be sleepy anymore.

The girl with smoky makeup pouted her lips, looking a little speechless.

After getting into the black Volkswagen again, she said, "Give it to me."

"What? Give what?"

An Yi was confused.

Isn't this too fast? It's a bit unexpected, I'm not prepared at all!
"QQ number!"

The girl with smoky makeup said angrily: "I want to light up the icon. Remember to take me out to play next time when you are free."

Although Audition is considered a non-mainstream game, it was a very popular game in 06 and 07. Today, two years later, it has somewhat declined.

"oh oh."

An Yi reacted and reported his Penguin account, looking at the girl in front of him holding the Blade V8 in her hand, her fingers flying.

It is not difficult to see that DNF was not well-received at the beginning, and most players who joined the game just wanted to light up the penguin icon.

However, after the adventurers came into contact with it and played around, they were slowly attracted to the continent of Arad.

The car returned to the Maple Leaf Internet Cafe intersection, but the girl with smoky makeup did not get out of the car.

“Thanks for the car.”

An Yi thanked her again, but the girl just rolled her eyes.

Perhaps, her civility and politeness seemed too serious to a rebellious teenage girl like her.

I came to Maple Leaf Internet Cafe and logged in again, and I heard a cough from Penguin.

After agreeing to the friend request, he clicked on it and saw that the online name was "Summer of Fireflies" and the avatar was a girl in black and white with big blinking eyes and a melancholy look.

It doesn't look like a real person.

An Yi knew that the girl seemed to be called "Chen Ke". If Feng Jie and Xili Ge were the early pioneers of popular Internet celebrities, then Chen Ke could be considered the number one non-mainstream Internet celebrity.

She is thin and sickly, pale and wears heavy smoky makeup. Her blog is full of gloomy and painful literature of youth, a typical Gothic girl style.

And Chen Ke is not only melancholy, but also talented. She released a song called "Flying to Someone Else's Bed" and quickly became famous.

But at the beginning of this year, a rumor came out from nowhere that this person had become a prostitute, and therefore was pursued by non-mainstream boys and girls.

"It turns out to be an emo girl..."

An Yi shook his head. He could get a glimpse of the girl's inner character from her Penguin account.

But he didn't quite understand. She was obviously a rich girl, why was she being emo all day long?
If it were him, as long as he had money, what worries would there be in the world?

After all, he couldn't imagine the happiness of rich people.

After landing on the continent of Arad, An Yi quickly put aside the emo girl and started happy time.
