Which way to go is the road?

A few days later, netizens discovered that "Shuiyunjian" had installed three security doors, which looked very sturdy and were equipped with facial and fingerprint recognition systems. The main door and the rooftop door could be remotely controlled.

"Why does this internet cafe need such a high-security door? Look how thick it is, it looks like it has several layers of steel plates!"

"You didn't know, did you? A while ago, some thugs came and caused trouble, they almost smashed up the internet cafe!"

"Who did they offend?"

"When you open a business, what kind of trouble won't come knocking? You never know who you might offend, and they might come looking for trouble!"

"Then we should install this security door. It's a good idea—we can defend ourselves or trap people if they come to us! It's a great idea, and it even has three lines of defense. Very professional!"

……

The internet addicts who came to the internet cafe saw Xin'an's security door and couldn't help but chat for a while. They were overheard by Lao You and Zhang Fang, who were passing by. They were secretly pleased and went to the front desk to start bragging.

"Did you hear that? I organized and planned this. Even these internet addicts approve of my plan!"

"Come on! The idea for the security door wasn't mine, was it? Who among you has that kind of strategic thinking?"

"Developing a targeted defense strategy—it's not just me who summarized their large numbers and unpredictable schedules; who among you could come up with such a brilliant idea!"

"What's all the fuss about? Has it been tested in practice? Or have you won a battle? You heard a few internet addicts praising it, and now you think you're something special?" Du Xinpeng gave Lao You, Zhang Fang, and Tian Hai a disdainful look, and continued, "Do you even know what 'attack is the best defense' means? The best way to teach a vicious dog a lesson is with a stick. In my opinion, buying an electric baton is the best strategy!"

"Pah! I really thought you'd changed your ways and started spouting some sanctimonious nonsense, but it turns out you're all talk and no action! Just trying to show off your meager intelligence!" Old You kicked Du Xinpeng.

The others also used all sorts of tricks, such as choking, bending wrists, and stomping toes. Even Bai Xue and Dong Lu joined in the fun and twisted their toes a couple of times!

"Xiang Fei, help me!" Du Xinpeng cried out for help as soon as he saw Xiang Fei return from dealing with a computer problem.

Xiang Fei walked over with a smile, helping Du Xinpeng out of the predicament: "What happened? You've angered everyone again? I have to admire your ability to always rally a group of people against you!"

"It's all because of stealing credit! Fine, I'm not stealing anymore. If this keeps up, I'll be beaten to death by you guys before any of the thugs do anything to me!" Du Xinpeng walked to the sofa, plopped down, and gasped for breath!

Everyone looked at this cheerful little bundle of joy and laughed happily!

"Oh, right, everyone's here. Let me tell you something! Sister Luo Mei has implemented all the necessary precautions. The remote control for the security door is at the front desk, and two more cameras have been added outside the stairwell. To ensure we can handle any emergencies, everyone needs to be alert. Also, portable stun guns have been given to each of the boys, just in case!"

After Xiang Fei finished speaking, he took out stun guns from the front desk cabinet and handed them to Lao You, Zhang Fang, Du Xinpeng, and Tian Hai. None of them had ever handled such a thing before, so they played with it over and over.

Based on Du Xinpeng's suggestion, this is a stun gun that can be used for self-defense and lighting. There is a switch in the middle. When flipped, it is used for lighting, and when flipped in the opposite direction, it can be used for high-voltage electric shock for self-defense.

"Don't underestimate this small thing; it can incapacitate a person in seconds! So you can use it for lighting, but don't use the high-voltage shock function lightly!"

After warning everyone, Xiang Fei explained the instructions according to the manual and then demonstrated with an electric baton.

When the stun gun was switched to the high-voltage shock function, pressing the switch caused the metal ring at the original flashlight light source to emit eerie blue sparks. Everyone quickly moved far away, fearing they would be shocked.

From the day Xiang Fei was scalded, this small group became more united than ever before, always ready to deal with complex and dangerous situations!

After all the defensive preparations were completed, these naive young people were somewhat hoping something would happen, but nothing did. Days passed by like this, and everyone felt like they had punched cotton, having wasted so much energy.

Another week passed by uneventfully, just like many weeks before. The sweet continued to be sweet, the lonely continued to be lonely, and the ambiguous relationships didn't become clear.

Everyone continued to enjoy the game, after all, it was more exciting than reality, and there were small goals to achieve, which made up for the emptiness of life.

As the Lunar New Year approaches, the weather is getting colder. After finishing their game battle at 10 PM, none of them took a taxi home, not to save money, but because they were broke! The end of the semester is just around the corner, and they've all become penniless, not to mention Xiang Fei, who has invested all his money in games.

Dong Lu and Bai Xue are rich, yet they accepted their boyfriends who were poor. Why not act a little poorer, give their boyfriends some dignity, and give everyone a reason to stay together? Life could continue peacefully like this without any problems.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, ah!"

A scream suddenly rang out from ahead, and the two couples following behind immediately ran forward and found Lao You lying on the ground, Tian Hai looking terrified, and Du Xinpeng holding an electric baton!

"I—I—I didn't mean to, he made a bet with me, saying this thing wasn't very powerful!" Du Xinpeng looked at Lao You lying on the ground, knowing he had caused trouble, and his face turned very ugly.

"You guys! Is this something to play with?" Xiang Fei quickly grabbed the stun gun, switched it to flashlight mode, and then helped Lao You up from the ground: "How are you? Lao You, are you alright? Should I take you to the hospital?"

Zhang Fang didn't seem that nervous, and kept smiling to himself. Dong Lu glared at him several times, and he barely managed to suppress his laughter: "It's not that serious. At most, it'll hurt for a moment, and you'll be temporarily paralyzed and unable to move! There's no danger!"

"That's not necessarily true. I looked it up online, and it says that an electric shock to the head or chest could be life-threatening!"

Tian Hai's alarmist words startled Zhang Fang: "Fourth brother, what did you say about him?"

"It seems to be a hand, but I can't remember now!" Du Xinpeng almost burst into tears.

"Don't look like that! Hey, Lao You! Lao You! Are you alright?" Xiang Fei gently patted Lao You's back, trying to help him breathe more easily.

"Oh my god!" Old You finally caught his breath, panting heavily. "I'll never make that bet again. Damn, it felt like a thousand needles were piercing my body, it was so uncomfortable!"

"Old You, you scared me to death! I thought I'd become a murderer!"

"Oh my god, stop humiliating a murderer! By the way, you owe me three game cards! Don't go back on your word!"

With tears welling up in his eyes, Du Xinpeng said, "You're fucking risking your life for money! I'll give you five!"

After Lao You was shocked, Xiang Fei didn't dare tell Qian Luomei. He secretly collected everyone's stun guns and put them in a safe place where he could retrieve them at any time without them being easily taken by others.
