DNF Return to 2008

Chapter 13 Brother, I didn't watch it in vain
on Monday.

After breakfast, An Yi came to Maple Leaf Internet Cafe to take over.

Pushing open the glass door, I found Huang Xutao dozing off. I glanced at the Internet cafe and fortunately, everything was clean.

Huang Xutao was suddenly awakened by knocking on the table.

"Damn it, I'm so sleepy..."

Huang Xutao adjusted his glasses frame and yawned.

An Yi didn't say anything and started counting the accounts and containers.

Maple Leaf Internet Cafe originally had three shifts. Normally, the shifts changed once a week, and there had to be someone working two shifts in a day. But somehow it started to become two shifts in a row.

In other words, Huang Xutao worked from 4 pm yesterday to 8 am today, a total of sixteen hours. It would be strange if he wasn't sleepy.

"No problem."

An Yi nodded, confirming that the accounts were correct.

"Okay, I'm going back to bed. Damn it, I can't go greet the neighbors this week..."

Huang Xutao muttered something, and seemed to remember something, then turned around and said, "Ah An, how are you? You're still a virgin, right? How about Brother Tao take you out to have some meat when you're free?"

"Get lost." An Yi had a blank expression on his face.

But Huang Xutao was still unyielding, grinning and saying, "Don't be shy, young man. You are a virgin and you look pretty good. The girls there may even give you red envelopes!"

An Yi raised his left and right hands in slow motion and raised his middle finger.

At the same time, his eyes were determined as if he wanted to join the party. I will never coexist with gambling and drugs!

I clearly have the potential to be a prostitute, so why should I give myself to those girls?

Huang Xutao laughed and left with satisfaction.

After taking over the shift, An Yi inspected the Internet cafe as usual.

Today is Monday. The surrounding factories are operating as normal, so there are fewer customers in the Internet cafe.

"Oh, this guy fell asleep again. His sleep schedule is pretty regular?"

An Yi glanced at the corner and found that the man in the shirt had put up two more chairs and was sleeping soundly.

This guy always seems to be working all night, going to sleep in the early morning, and getting up in the afternoon to continue working.

Even next to his luggage, in addition to a large bucket of 2.5L Nongfu Spring, there were also a toothbrush and a towel.

It seems that this guy hanging around the wall is planning to settle down in Maple Leaf Internet Cafe.

An Yi shook his head. Even if Boss Liao came, he would not do anything to him. After all, the other party had spent money. There was no reason to drive him away.

Back at the bar, a man in his early thirties, wearing a white shirt, walked towards me.

"Brother Hui, good morning." An Yi greeted him.

The middle-aged man called Brother Hui looked surprised, then nodded and continued walking towards the important computer room at the back of the Internet cafe.

Tang Hui is the technical director of Maple Leaf Internet Cafe, but everyone calls him the "big network administrator". He is mainly responsible for technical maintenance and upgrades of the computers in the Internet cafe and solving some network problems.

It's much easier than the network administrator job of An Yi, who is basically a waiter. The salary is much higher, and he only needs to come every few days.

Although Anyi has been playing with computers for decades, he only knows how to reinstall the system. Asking him what a tactical core graphics card is is like asking a blind person.

For example, nowadays, if there is a problem with a computer in an Internet cafe, in addition to using the unique skill "Yang Finger" to restart it, the most common thing to do is to replace the keyboard for the customer...

Just as I was thinking about it, four or five teenagers came to the door one after another. They had young faces and were not tall. It was obvious that they were either junior high school students or elementary school students.

"Do you have an ID card? Are you over 18?" An Yi asked.

One of the junior high school students stiffened his neck and said, "Why do you care whether I have it or not? Isn't it enough that I have a network card? Hurry up!"

An Yi had no choice but to allow a few people to swipe their cards and board the plane.

There's nothing we can do about it. These days the supervision is not strict enough, or even no one is supervising.

The fact that these guys were able to get network cards means they can access the Internet. As for the elementary school student who didn't take out the network card, An Yi refused to get him a temporary card.

Although the little brat's face was full of resentment, he didn't dare to do anything to him.

"Buy tanks, buy tanks!"

"Mengzi, you know nothing, buy a gun, buy a gun, killing people is fun!"

Within five minutes, a group of junior high school students started making a lot of noise in the hall.

An Yi went over and took a look.

Sure enough, a man wearing a light blue coconut shirt appeared in the picture, driving all kinds of luxury cars in the bustling city, grabbing the fat white ladies passing by and beating them up...

The Liberty police car roared behind him.

In the end, the ending was very happy. The criminals were brought to justice and the man in the coconut shirt was pinned to the ground and handcuffed away.

It's Grand Theft Auto.

"Tommy: Whether Sin City is in chaos or not, I have the final say..."

An Yi stroked his chin and watched with interest for a while.

Among them, this stand-alone game was considered an enlightenment game on the Internet in 05, along with games like Rage Motorbike and Landing on the Beach.

After all, most of the players are elementary and junior high school students.

As for the violent elements in it, is there anything that incites juvenile delinquency?

He has no say, anyway, he has played it before, as a person who has experienced it, he said he has come through it...

Don't make a fuss about it.

Soon, the two got bored and started playing QQ Speed.

"I complicated our lives...By falling in love with hin..."

A European and American English song called "Loves Me Not" with a clear and beautiful female voice came out from the headset that the little boy couldn't wear steadily.

It is said that music can be a carrier of certain memories, and when a familiar song sounds, people will resonate with it perfectly.

Looking at the blue-green ink font of the "Linlangtianshang" game studio, some memories buried deep in his heart suddenly came to An Yi's mind.

I still remember that when I was playing Speed ​​​​Car, there was no Renault. Then after the engagement system came out, I and a game girl gradually became a game couple...

The two teamed up in a virtual game in couple mode to show off, date online, and talk about love...

At one point, the game got to the point where he and the other party even got to the stage of exchanging penguin codes.

Unfortunately, I backed down later.

"The opening lightning strikes, and the memories kill those who belong to..."

An Yi shook his head to dispel those memories.

There is no such big prejudice against these little brats who play Vice City. Perhaps, many years later, they will remember the happy time they had playing games with their classmates and friends in an Internet cafe in the middle of summer...

Back to the bar, comfortable and doing nothing.

He asked Brother Hua and got a reply that he would get back to him in two days. As for the fact that he received nearly four hundred dollars in game coins from the other party, it also met the other party's expectations.

As for the rest, it doesn’t matter whether you collect it or not.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Tong Yanyan pushed the door open carrying a small shoulder bag.

Her shift starts at 10 a.m. and ends at 10 p.m.

With Tong Yanyan in charge of the cashier work, An Yi's work became a lot easier and he could wander around the Internet cafe.

Look at the kid playing racing over here, and look at other customers playing Cross Fire, Need for Speed, and Street Basketball over there. It's all quite interesting.

At this time, he saw a customer playing CS1.6 using the HaoFang battle platform.

"I'm so excited... Sniper God."

An Yi looked at it for a while and was a little shocked.

The opponent was playing an AWP map, which is commonly known as the sniper field by old CS people.

The police and the criminals started to fight on an open grassland. There were only some cylindrical fortresses around, and the rest of them just picked up the AWP on the ground and started fighting.

However, this customer, who was estimated to be in his twenties and wearing slippers, jumped out and fired his sniper rifle, jumped out and fired his sniper rifle... and every shot hit the target.

Most of the time I use the 1x scope, and occasionally I don’t even use the scope and can still kill the opponent with one shot.

An Yi was watching with some fascination from the side. He was very obsessed with this kind of FPS game which required high operation and split-second judgment.

Because I can't do it.

Although DNF also requires operation, it can only be considered mid-level at best among online games. Even those PK masters and fighting kings may not even reach the threshold compared to this kind of competitive game.

After all, e-sports is about talent.

Just like Sky, the human emperor, who won the WCG Warcraft World Championship for two consecutive years in 05 and 06. His efforts are unquestionable, but without the terrifying APM and gaming talent, all his efforts would be in vain.

In the early days of StarCraft and other games, seeing the dazzling operations of the masters was enjoyable and impressive, even if you didn't understand the game.

The young man in slippers obviously noticed that someone was watching his performance. After playing a round, he took off his headphones and asked with a smile, "How is it? Is he handsome?"

"It's awesome!"

An Yi smiled and gave the other person a thumbs up without hesitation.

The young man in slippers smiled and shook his head, then continued playing CS.

"Sister Yan, what are we having for lunch?"

Looking up at the clock on the wall, An Yi asked.

"Hey, Ayi, you are more sunny today than usual?"

Tong Yanyan could clearly feel that this thin but good-looking young man in front of her seemed to be more talkative and cheerful than before.

“……”An Yi couldn’t explain.

Tong Yanyan didn't ask further questions and said casually, "Please pack me a portion of Yangzhou fried rice. Oh, and a cup of grass jelly."

"Ok, no problem."

An Yi took the money handed to him by the other party and walked out of the Internet cafe.

The Maple Leaf Internet Cafe was located at a street corner, surrounded by many restaurants. He crossed two intersections and arrived at the Shaxian snack shop that he often visited.

I ordered duck leg rice, ate it quickly, and then packed up a portion of Yangzhou fried rice.

Then we went to the milk tea shop next door and ordered a cup of grass jelly.

After bringing it back to the Internet cafe, Tong Yanyan ate it in small bites at the bar.

"Ayi, do you like playing games very much?" she asked.

"Like it."

An Yi nodded and did not deny it.

Although he has not dabbled in many games, after all, there are thousands of games in the world and who can say that he knows them all.

But in my previous life, I persisted in Arad for more than ten years. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am a hardcore player. Who can say that I don’t love it?
"It's okay to play games, it's just like those young people who are fooling around in the world..."

Tong Yanyan listened, thought for a moment, and said: "You should change your job in the future. Network management has no future."

"Thank you, Sister Yan."

An Yi smiled and thanked the other party for his kindness.

Yes, these days network management is actually a low-level job. If you can’t learn the skills, there is naturally no future for you to make money.

Compared with Tang Hui, the real network administrator, he is just a waiter.

At two or three in the afternoon, Tong Yanyan began to feel sleepy and her mind was always thinking about fishing.

"Please keep an eye on it..." After giving the order, Tong Yanyan simply lay down on the bar and took a rest.

An Yi was used to it and sat aside thinking about things.

"There are still three days before the salary is due. Although 900 yuan is not much, after deducting a month's food expenses, if I save a little, I should be able to put 300 or 400 yuan into the game as start-up capital..."

Three or four hundred dollars is about 20 million gold coins. You can find a business opportunity to receive goods and do some small business. It won't be a problem to accumulate a little to make a lot.

But if I want to leave Maple Leaf Internet Cafe, I have to save up enough money for a computer and a mobile phone, rent a house, and install an internet cable...

After all the calculations, An Yi felt that he couldn't survive without 7,000 or 8,000 RMB!
If I only rely on this 900 yuan salary, I won’t be able to save enough even if I work for a year.

"It's a headache. I could have lived a happy life, but it's all because of my lack of money that I've been ruined..."

An Yi shook his head and temporarily put aside these worries.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse and a piece of white skin came into view.

Because the summer is so hot, even if there is a broken air conditioner in the Internet cafe, it can't lower the temperature much, it can only make people feel cooler.

Tong Yanyan was wearing an orange T-shirt with two buttons on her collar undone, lying on the bar.

Suddenly, her big white rabbits were about to come out.

"Uh, I must be hungry... Huang Xutao, this bastard, hurt me!"

An Yi bent his body and went into the bathroom to wash his face.

But after coming out, he couldn't help but take a few more glances...

It would be a shame not to watch it anyway.

No, I don’t look at white things, I only look at white things…
