I will never give in to Miss Death

Just like the mouse, the mouse I usually use is a very ordinary one with two left and right buttons and a scroll wheel in the middle. The functions of this mouse can be said to be all-encompassing. For example, there is a button behind the mouse wheel to adjust the pointer speed. The two side buttons on the left are standard. Some mice also come with two rotating dials on the side, and I don’t know if they are for adjusting the volume or something else. Some support changing various button functions, and some even set up a small screen directly on the mouse, so that you can customize the picture on the screen.

In addition to these, the mouse itself also has wireless mouse, wired mouse and other types, and the wires are also divided into a lot of materials, soft, hard, hot-swappable, and even ordinary mice have buttons, such as ordinary buttons, PBT material buttons, ABS material buttons...

Even the size and grip of the mouse can be divided into small mouse, medium mouse, large mouse, left-handed mouse, right-handed mouse, symmetrical mouse, ergonomic mouse...

Some businesses designed the mouse with a yellow theme and named it "the same mouse as Cyberpunk 2077".

Some merchants add a large circle of RGB light strip around the mouse, which sparkles once connected to a computer, making it look particularly cool.

Some merchants simply increase the weight of the mouse. It looks very big and I can’t hold it with one hand. It is very difficult to move. They call it a “mouse for martial artists.”

"What about the keyboard?"

In a small shop that looked very reliable, after listening to the introduction of the shop owner, Yin Xiamo picked up the tea on the table and took a sip: "Is there a keyboard suitable for typing here? For writing novels."

"Writing a novel?"

The shop owner looked at Yin Xiamo, then at me: "Are you all authors?"

At this time, there were a few passers-by passing by. When they saw Xiaomo and I, they stopped and asked, "Excuse me, can we take a photo?"

"Sorry, we are shopping!"

Xiaomo gave them an "embarrassed" look and said, "You can take pictures, but we may not be able to pose for you."

"It's okay, we'll just take the photo here, you guys are so beautiful."

"Thank you."

Yin Xiamo turned around and said, "I'm not the author, I'm... um, an artist. I probably don't use the keyboard very often."

I put down the tea in my hand, smiled at the passers-by outside the store, and made a few hand gestures.

Ah... this is the little trouble of coming here in Cosplay costumes, especially for people like me and Xiaomo, who have fair skin and good looks even without makeup. In the crowd, we are just like... Teruhashi Kokomi in "The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.", and we are the focus wherever we go.

Normally, it seems that even if I wear ordinary clothes, I still look dazzling.

I recalled the experiences of commuting to and from get off work or shopping at the stores and vegetable markets near my rental house over the past two months.

People around me, no matter boys or girls, are attracted by my height, and then they will catch a glimpse of my face in the next second, and then... they will turn around, surprised, envious, and admire me...

I'm almost getting used to the feeling of being watched wherever I go.

Maybe this is also the reason why I prefer to relax at "Yuerlan Island" with Xiaomo.

After all, only on that small island can I do whatever I want without having to face the gazes of people around me.

Of course, this is probably also influenced by the elf and cat girl genes in my body that prefer nature.

"Click, click, click, click..."

"Thank you, Nashida, bye!"

"Goodbye."

I waved to a few passers-by, then turned around and picked up a cup of tea made by the owner's sister on the table, as I was used to seeing this kind of thing.

"Painters also need to use keyboards, and you must use computers to input text or play games on a regular basis."

The shop owner's sister seemed to have a good temper. She didn't get angry when she saw us talking half-heartedly: "Do you play a lot of games?"

"Honestly… not a lot."

I thought about it and said, "But maybe in the future...if I have time, I will play."

Without considering the various "major changes" that may occur in this world, such as war, energy depletion, asteroids hitting the earth, etc., Xiaomo and I actually have a relatively clear vision of our future life.

In terms of work, Ouyang Xue only serves as the "temporary manager" of this coffee shop. The coffee shop will be busy only in the initial period. After the commercial street is built, the surrounding ecology is improved, and the customer base is stabilized, everyone just needs to go to get off work and leave work on time and serve customers.

At this stage, when there are really no major problems, Ouyang Xue may "step back behind the scenes" and give up the position of "store manager".

If nothing unexpected happens, the position of "store manager" will most likely be given to me.

Then my main job will shift to behind the scenes and I will be a coffee shop manager.

At this stage, I might... maybe... maybe I'll have time to see new worlds, or play some games.

However, this does not rule out the possibility that the coffee shop may fail, or investment in the commercial street may be stopped, the construction of the Mianyun District may be cancelled, and so on. Life cannot always be smooth sailing.

"Since one of you is an author and the other is an artist, and you occasionally need to play games, then you can't buy a keyboard that's too bad."

Amid the energetic singing of a singer invited by Tongmeng.com on the stage not far away, the young lady from the computer peripherals store sat down in front of us and took a drawing.

"Let me briefly tell you about keyboards. Nowadays, computer keyboards are considered a large circle of computer peripherals. Many people have more than ten keyboards at home. Some are for collection, some are just for display, and some are for personal use."

"For example, the axis of this keyboard. There are many kinds of axes for mechanical keyboards now. If you still live on campus, it is best not to buy blue, green, or blue axes. These axes that make a crisp sound are called 'roommate happy axes'. They are very loud and feel good when typing, but your roommates can't stand it."

"You can decide whether you like the crackling typing feel or prefer a more low-key, less forceful, and less hand-harming switch. Just now, a programmer came to me and asked me to sell him a keyboard, saying that he spends at least five hours a day typing. I don't recommend a switch with a crisp sound, because it sounds nice, but it makes your fingers very tired."

"There is also the return rate of this keyboard. If you are a top e-sports player, especially an FPS player, I would recommend this. This keyboard costs 1800 yuan and can achieve a return rate of 8000. Typing will be very smooth, but it has high requirements for the computer CPU. If the CPU is very poor, using this keyboard may cause system lag."

"Or if you are not a professional e-sports player, you can take a look at this one, the optical switch. The biggest feature of this switch is that it triggers very quickly. If you accidentally touch it, it may trigger the key. It is recommended for players and e-sports players who can type blindly and can type by feeling without looking at the keyboard. This keyboard is cheaper than the previous one, 1200 yuan. If you buy two, you can get a discount of 1100 yuan..."

After the shop owner’s introduction, I realized that the “keyboard” circle of computer peripherals seems to be no smaller than that of the mouse.

It even seems that this circle is still a big circle, similar to "speakers" and "headphones".

Some headphones cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, and all kinds of enthusiasts enjoy discussing new products every day. The same goes for keyboards, where there are a variety of switches and design styles. I feel a little dizzy just listening to this young lady's explanation.

If I remember correctly... a long time ago, the computers at home were all "Double Flying Swallow" keyboard and mouse sets that cost only a few dozen yuan. I couldn't even dream of buying a keyboard that cost more than 80 yuan at that time. The keyboard and mouse in my home were not luxury goods.

So now a keyboard costs thousands of dollars? Some even cost four or five thousand? That's more expensive than a graphics card, right?

"How about, sister, can you show us what's here? We can just look at the appearance."

After chatting with the shop owner for about ten minutes, Xiaomo and I, who were completely confused by all kinds of terms like "mechanical switches", "keycap materials" and "trigger response", looked at each other and finally decided to buy the beautiful ones!

Who cares? As long as it's suitable for typing and looks beautiful, that's enough.

"Look at the appearance? Then... how about the one with the same theme as Nashida? It's just an ordinary mechanical keyboard with a set of keycaps with the theme of Grass God."

"Or a pink cherry shaft?"

"Oh, by the way, this one is actually pretty good, and many girls are using it."

In the end, Xiaomo and I went to several computer peripheral stores nearby and compared the prices and quality, and then bought a keyboard with the "Huadan Niang" theme in this store.

The keyboard has only 87 keys and lacks the number keys on the right. The overall design is very compact. The main colors are red, black and white, and the color scheme is very close to the "Hua Dan" in classical elements. The keycaps feel very good. They are said to be the legendary PBT material, which feels frosted and non-slip. The keyboard itself comes with a rechargeable battery, supports wireless connection, and can also be connected online for use. The axis uses the most versatile "tea axis". It is said that this axis will not be noisy and has moderate pressing force, which is suitable for typing and playing games.

The reason why I bought this small keyboard, besides its nice-looking "Hua Dan Niang" design, is another more important factor... other small keyboards with 104 keys cannot fit into my rabbit backpack.

Anyway, as long as most of the keys on a keyboard don't conflict, it can be used for a long time, and looks nice, it's already pretty good for me. There's no need to bother with an 8000 return rate to add burden to the CPU.

"Let's buy one thousand yuan together. The keyboard and mouse combo was originally 588 yuan. You two are so cute, so I'll give you a discount."

What surprised me was that this "Huadan Niang" keyboard also comes with a mouse suitable for small hands. Although the mouse has not many buttons and only one middle button to adjust the mouse speed, it still surprised me very much.

Because it's size really fits the palm of my hand.

I have been too busy recently and have not had time to tinker with these things. The mouse at home is all "big mouse". It is said that there is a set of standards for the "size" of the mouse, such as using a ruler to measure the distance from the wrist to the end of the middle finger, and dividing it into "small hand", "medium hand" and "big hand". I undoubtedly have "small hands", and particularly small ones. The mouse originally given to the uncle at home is completely unsuitable for me, and it makes me feel very uncomfortable every time I move and click.

The mouse that comes with the Hua Dan Niang keyboard is a very small type. I fell in love with it as soon as I picked it up.

"Okay, one thousand dollars."

I scanned the QR code next to it and paid. Yin Xiamo helped me put the mouse and keyboard into my schoolbag: "As long as my wife is happy!"

"happy!"

When I thought about being able to use the new mouse and keyboard when I go back today, I subconsciously hugged Xiaomo beside me and rubbed her chest a few times.

Xiaomo can see through a person's psychology, so she knows more about whether one thousand yuan is a suitable price for two keyboards and a mouse than I do, so she probably won't buy it too expensively.

Although an average price of 500 yuan for a keyboard is considered “relatively expensive” in my opinion, but... after all, it is Xiaomo’s gift.

"what……"

Maybe because she didn't expect me to suddenly pounce on her, Xiaomo hesitated for a moment: "Nuo'er, you...do you still have a stomachache?"

"abdomen?"

I was stunned for a moment, then I quickly realized what she meant: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it didn't hurt yesterday!"

At this moment, the cell phone in my skirt pocket suddenly vibrated.

It was Xiongxiong who hit me.

"Where have you two been? The event is about to start!"

As soon as the call was connected, there was a burst of noisy voices and a curious tone: "I signed you up for the couple's truth or truth test. If you don't come, your place will be taken away by the crowd below!"

I looked at the distance and saw a lot of people gathered. At this time, there was a clear sound of music coming from the stage. I broke free from Xiaomo's arms and said, "Ah, here we come, we're at the store selling computer peripherals next door, let's go over now!"

After that, I hung up the phone and took Yin Xiamo's hand: "Let's go and participate in the couple's truth test!"

"Ok?"

Yin Xiamo, who was being dragged behind me, was a little curious: "Why do I feel like... Nuo'er seems to want to prove something with this event?"

"No way!"

Having my secret exposed, I subconsciously said, "I... I'm just interested in their prize!"

"really?"

"real!"

"So what are their prizes?"

“Yes… yes… eh?”

I was dumbfounded.

It seems that Xiongxiong never told me what their prizes are?

"Anyway...anyway, I really like it!"

I turned my head away: "Let's go!"

"How about... we check the statements before we go?"

The girl behind him chuckled and said, "Like where was your first date, when was your first kiss, etc?"

“That’s totally unnecessary!”

I said confidently: "You are my first love, how can I not remember these things!"

"What did you say?"

"I said, there's no way I can't remember this..."

"The previous sentence."

"You...Xiaomo, you are my first love, how come..."

Before I could finish my words, Xiaomo came up to me quickly, and in front of a group of people, she lifted my head and put it on my lips.

"Well?!"

"Oh my god! The Traveler kissed Nashida!"

“Can I take a photo of this?”

"So sweet, is it lily?"

"..."

The brief kiss ended with the screams of passers-by, but to me, it felt like a century had passed.

"Suddenly...why...what?"

Wiping the sticky liquid from the corner of my mouth, I frowned and said, "So domineering."

"Nothing, I just feel a little happy suddenly."

This time, Yin Xiamo took the initiative to walk in front and held my hand.

"Let's go, my first love girl."

"..."
