There is not only noise in the computer room, but also all kinds of smells.

Smoke odor, sweat odor, bad breath odor, foot odor...... Anyway, the air in this place is definitely not good, even if the space is so large, but there are too many people, and they are still gathered together, it will completely spoil the air.

However, this is not common for the third brother and Zhou Fangyuan.

The third brother's family opened a game hall, and his house was filled with all kinds of smells every day, and he had long been used to it. And Zhou Fangyuan, he has entered the Internet café so many times that he can't count it himself, and the environment of many Internet cafes in later generations is not much better than here, he has long been accustomed to it.

On the contrary, Yu Ban, as soon as he entered the door, he was choked half to death, and without saying a word, he turned around and ran out, and after a long time outside, he slowly walked back in, with a look of disgust on his face. But he was soon attracted to the computers around him, his eyes staring at the picture on the computer screen, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, and the disgust quietly disappeared.

I have to say that the current computer room is really hot, and the popularity is even more than the era of the great development of online games a few years later. The reason is very simple, just because there are too few computer rooms at this time, and the number of computers is too small, and the computer itself is related to high technology. No matter what it is, as long as it is related to high technology, it will immediately rise to the top. In addition, computer games are indeed more fun than games on red and white machines, and this fun is not the quality of the game itself, but the operability and freedom of the game.

Compared with the red and white machine, which can only rely on seven or eight buttons, the operation of the mouse and keyboard, and the more free game content make players flock to it.

This is also because of the underdevelopment of Beitong itself, it is said that as early as 95 years, the first Internet café in the country has appeared in Haishi, two or three years down, although the big city can not be said to be full of Internet cafes, but the number has been very considerable. And Beitong, there may be less than twenty of them, and almost all of them are ultra-small computer rooms in front of them.

In the real sense, there may not be a single Internet café in the entire Beitong City.

If this Internet café can really be opened, it can be expected that it will cause a very sensational effect. It's certain to make money, the difference is only in how much you can earn, but there are still barriers to entry for this thing, and at the same time, not everyone can play around, so in a short period of time, or within a few years, the income of Internet cafes will not be too low.

Zhou Fangyuan kept pondering in his heart.

Not far away, when the time for a machine to get on the machine arrived, the boss went over to notify him, and the young man in front of the computer stood up a little reluctantly.

Yu Ban's body reacted quickly, and he sat on the chair as soon as he sat on his buttocks.

This action caused dissatisfaction among others. Many people have been waiting here for half an hour or more, and finally waited for an empty machine, but they were preempted, and it was a new ghost, how could they agree?

The insulting sound immediately sounded, waking up Zhou Fangyuan, who was in deep thought, he hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw that the third brother was already making amends with the other party.

"Several, several, we came from Xingwang Village, and we made several stops by bus, so it's not easy to get there. No, we are also here to learn from experience, and we are going to open a computer room in a short time, and when the time comes, you will go and play, and I will give you a discount, okay? Let's give it today, my brother is still young, you must not be like him. ”

The third brother said good things vigorously, and took out a cigarette to give each other a cigarette.

Fortunately, these young people don't seem to be unreasonable people, they looked at the third brother, and then at Yu Ban, and finally they all died down and didn't really make trouble.

And Yu Ban was already scared stupid, the previous action was completely his subconscious behavior, who knew that it would cause so many things?

After all, this incident was just a small episode, and if the empty machine waited for a while, several young people dispersed in a few minutes and went to the other machines. On Zhou Fangyuan's side, the third brother also went to pay the computer fee, and the three heads began to get together to study.

There is another thing in this that Zhou Fangyuan made a mistake, that is, the Internet fee at this time.

He said to the third brother that five yuan an hour, in fact, five yuan is not enough, at this time the computer room, because the business is too hot, basically every day from morning to night, 24 hours are full, half in the morning and half in the afternoon, there will be a large number of young people waiting in line for the machine, the aisles are blocked.

Such a hot business naturally brings high prices, and the owner of the computer room is not stupid, so the cost of Internet access is about 10 yuan an hour for the more expensive, and the cheaper one is also eight or nine yuan, which is really not cheap.

When paying the money, the third brother also glanced at Zhou Fangyuan. Zhou Fangyuan could only shrug his shoulders about this, the age was too long, how could he remember it so clearly? When he came here in the previous life, several of them pooled money to play together, and one person could only play for ten minutes, so he couldn't remember many things clearly. He can clearly remember the location of this computer room, which is not easy in itself, okay?

Zhou Fangyuan undoubtedly has the most experience in operating a computer, he did not get on the computer, but stood next to him and instructed Yu Ban to play with the third brother.

Things like how to move the mouse, how to click on icons, how to type with the keyboard, how to play games, etc...... Throughout the afternoon, Zhou Fangyuan spoke dryly, and his incessant bending over also made his back ache and grief.

However, the harvest is also very large, and Yu Ban and the third brother can now get started alone. Yu Ban's receptivity was quicker, and at this time he had already started playing a real-time strategy game called "Red Alert". The fame of this game is too great, and almost no one knows about the young people who have come over in this era, especially the Red Alert 2 in the back, which was together with CS in the Internet café back then, and is known as the most popular game.

Yu Ban had a lot of fun, controlling tanks and minions, and fighting with the enemy. Although he failed in the end, looking at his somewhat flushed face, you can also see how much this thing likes this game.

And the third brother, he didn't play Red Police, but played a game called "Age of Empires". This is also a real-time strategy game, which is slightly more difficult to learn than Red Alert, and is not very beginner-friendly. However, the third brother is undoubtedly more experienced in the game than Yu Ban, and he himself is also very young, only in his early twenties, and the acceptance speed is also quite fast.

It didn't take long to play in style, building houses and walls, although it was also impossible to avoid being defeated, but the first time you came into contact with this game, or even the first time you came into contact with the computer, you can play like this, I have to say, their performance is already very good.

When the two of them played games, they were unconsciously surrounded by people, because there are really no games to choose from in today's Internet cafes, so there are a lot of people playing in the Red Alert and the Age of Empires, and everyone has a common language.

Therefore, from time to time, some people make reminders behind their backs, such as which soldiers are more powerful, such as which tank is stronger, etc., sometimes these reminders are very beneficial, and sometimes they are extremely annoying.

Anyway, Zhou Fangyuan doesn't like people to point fingers when he plays games, and Yu Ban doesn't seem to like it very much, no matter what the people behind him say, he just does his own thing, he can play how he wants, and he will not be affected at all.

The third brother is different, he will follow some of the suggestions of others, of course, not all of them, he will try to follow the suggestions of others, make some changes first, and if it really works, he will use new methods on a large scale. If it doesn't work, the slightest change won't affect the big picture.

The two showed their different personalities, and Yu Ban was more individual and self-conscious. The third brother's words are more tolerant of other people's opinions, but because of this, his ears are a little soft, but this is not bad, he is good at listening to others' opinions, and sometimes it is better than hitting his head against the south wall.

Happy hour always flies, and after the third renewal time has been used up, it is already past five o'clock in the afternoon. The third brother also wanted to renew, but was blocked by Zhou Fangyuan.

"The day of playing is still ahead, today is just for you to familiarize yourself, it's not too early, we should go back." ”

As he spoke, he also slapped Yu Ban on the back of the head.

"Wow, it's time, others don't play!"

was slapped in the face, and Yu Ban was not annoyed. Just staring at the computer screen with reluctant eyes, watching the latecomer sit down, and then turning off the game he had played all afternoon, Yu Ban felt that his heart was dripping blood.

"Computers are so much fun, if only I had a computer at home. ”

On the way back, Yu Ban sighed.

This may also be the dream of many children in this era, with the development of society, this dream has finally come true, but unfortunately when the dream is realized, the children at this time have grown up, they start to work, start a family, even if there is a computer, there is basically no time to play.

"It's really fun, but the cost is quite high, ten dollars an hour, it's really not something that ordinary people can afford. ”

The third brother said with emotion on the side.

Two people played for half an afternoon, one person for three hours, adding up to sixty yuan, counting the fact that the door was not opened in the afternoon this afternoon, the direct and indirect losses of the third brother added up to more than a hundred, which is equivalent to a month's salary of an ordinary worker.

"But for those who open a store, of course, the more expensive the better, fatty, I'm starting to believe you now. By the way, you said before that it would be cheaper for us to build our own computers, right? How do you do it? I don't know anything about this, so you have to help your third brother. ”

The third brother looked at Zhou Fangyuan and said with a sincere gaze.

"Of course," Zhou Fangyuan smiled, "Third brother, your business is my business, and this time I am also going to buy shares, of course I will get it properly, you can rest assured." But this is not the place to talk, let's go back first, and I'll go to your house tomorrow morning, and we'll discuss the next thing. ”
