Chapter 94: The Promise is Nearing Completion
It's a good day.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the air is fresh, and the wind is already mixed with bursts of coolness. The sky in early autumn is as vast as the blue sea, and the white clouds drifting leisurely by, like a thousand sails are quiet, hidden with sparkling waves.
The earth is filled with the classic fragrance of Damascus roses, quiet and serene.
The motorcycle was speeding on the road that was not crowded, Wang Qiang yawned, he was really tired last night, only to blame the lack of manpower, otherwise he would like to learn from the later Internet café to launch a night service. No, when he went to call Zhu Xiaofeng in the morning, the kid couldn't get up, so Wang Qiang had to rush to Qinghai Road first.
As always, lock your motorcycle under the roof.
Wang Qiang dangled the key into the stairwell, pondering last night's doubts, can business be as good today as yesterday?
Before he could finish his thoughts, he heard a familiar voice in his distraction.
"Brother Qiang, didn't you say that the door would open at eight o'clock? ”
Hey?
Is it Xiaojian?
Wang Qiang looked up, and saw that Xiaojian and Xiaowen were either sitting on the steps or standing at the door, he sweated and said, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”
It's half past eight now.
It was past eleven o'clock after returning to the hotel yesterday and washing up, and he dragged his tired body to sleep, and naturally overslept a little in the morning.
Open the door.
Before they could open the drawer containing the game cards, Xiaojian Xiaowen and the others roared urgently.
"Give me the Phantasy Star first. ”
"I didn't sleep well all night when I went back yesterday. ”
"Yes, my mind is full of games, and I am looking forward to the morning. ”
"Brother Qiang, you are acting neatly, we are all waiting. ”
"yes, the other game rooms don't have any intelligence cards at all, and it's still fun here. ”
"The last time I went to the game room on Moling Road to collect money, it was full of ordinary cards, and the thief was bored after playing for a while, originally yesterday when Brother Hailong asked me to stay and play the game, I thought how boring it was, but after playing "Heavy Loading Soldiers" for a while, I knew that there was a co-author and an intelligence card, it was so fun, I got the fourth tank, this game is really interesting, and you can try it when I play it well. ”
"The Holy Flame Badge is also very fun, Brother Wen, what are you playing?"
"I, Eight Treasure Beads, fun is fun, but it's a little harder. ”
"How hard is it? I don't believe it yet, until I finish playing Robot Wars II and I will play it with you. ”
Another one who doesn't believe in evil has to challenge the perverted "Eight Treasures Pearl".
Wang Qiang immediately turned on the machines for them one by one, and only after he was busy did he take the time to open the windows for ventilation.
After a while, another guest came to the door.
It was Xiao Lin and Ah Bin, who didn't come yesterday, Xiao Lin said as soon as he came up: "Boss, hurry up and take the Eight Treasure Beads to me, I didn't come over yesterday, and I want to die." ”
Wang Qiang, who had just returned to the counter, said with a smile: "What, the Eight Treasure Beads have been taken to play, do you want to play with anything else?"
Kobayashi: "...... Who's playing?"
Wang Qiang pointed to him the small text in the third row on the left.
Xiao Lin simply ran over and sat over there to watch Xiaowen play, after all, he had been playing for two days, and his progress was faster than Xiaowen, and he pointed out twice from time to time, and the two people who didn't know each other quickly chatted enthusiastically.
However, although Abin didn't play "Heavy Equipment", he finally took "Overlord's Continent" to play.
Then Huang Mao and Dong Xiaowu also came, Dong Xiaowu was still very unhappy when he saw Wang Qiang, but first, Gu Xiaolei ordered him to come, and second, he was a little fascinated by watching his younger brother play "Devouring the World" yesterday, although one arm was hanging from his neck, he still wanted to play from scratch under the guidance of his younger brother.
One after another, many people came over, including Gu Xiaolei's people, and some primary and secondary school students who were scared away yesterday morning.
Among them, there was an eleven or twelve-year-old child and his friends who just ran in and saw Dong Xiaowu and Xiaojian, who were a little scared, pointed inside and said cautiously: "Boss, they won't fight again today, right?"
"No, no, no. Wang Qiang comforted them and said, "There was no fight after yesterday, although you can play with confidence, what do you want to play?"
The tiger kid thought for a while, "The four-in-one with Super Mario, I remember that there is a tank battle in it, Li Xiaojun, let's play Mario for a while, and then play tank battle together, okay?"
The other child nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay, there are not many game consoles, let's turn them on quickly, don't wait until you can't play." ”
At about ten o'clock, the game room was full again, Wang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that at least there was no need to worry about business in the short term, as for the future, there should be an influx of other customers.
At this time, Zhu Xiaofeng came, he bit the bun and ran in disheveled, and when he saw the full house, he said happily: "Uncle Wang, it's only ten o'clock when it's full?"
Wang Qiangbai, who was busy doing accounts and starting up, glanced at him and said, "Are you comfortable sleeping?"
Zhu Xiaofeng said: "In the afternoon, you go to sleep and take a nap, I'm here to watch." ”
……
Lao Yao ran over again, yesterday he had seen that the game room afternoon business was not bad, he wanted to see how the morning was, after all, twenty game consoles and dozens of game cards to spend is not a star and a half, in his mind, the morning business should be much worse than the afternoon, I didn't expect that there were people standing and waiting for the position after running over!
Zhu Xiaofeng saw him appear at the door and waved, "Uncle Yao, why are you here?"
Lao Yao coughed, his agreement with Wang Qiang was relatively secret, and he was not ready to let Lao Zhu's family know, so he simply said: "Your parents went back to Wuhu to worship their ancestors, and I will come to see if there is anyone making trouble here." ”
Zhu Xiaofeng was young and couldn't hide his words, "Yesterday, I almost cut someone, and I was scared to death." ”
Lao Yao snorted and scolded: "Which bastard dares to make trouble with you, I'll clean him up." ”
Wang Qiang smiled: "It's okay, it's all settled, Brother Yao, if you don't have anything to do, don't you want to take a look here?" He knew in his heart why Lao Yao came over, but these words couldn't be said in front of Zhu Xiaofeng, as a person who believed in his word, since he promised Lao Yao, then Wang Qiang would never dismantle the stage.
Lao Yao nodded and said, "That's okay, you're busy with yours, I'll see it." "He still didn't believe that business would always be so good.
……
After another while, it's almost time for lunch.
It stands to reason that at this point in time, many people should go home or find a place to eat, and the game room business will fall back.
But Lao Yao, who was sitting and bragging and farting with Wang Qiang, was secretly frightened, there were indeed many people who went to eat at this time, but more people poured in, and even he saw some people on the road, at first he thought that those people were here to collect protection money, and he warned him twice.
The black cat who had just eaten lunch was also warned by Lao Yao, and cried bitterly: "Boss Yao, who dares to come here to collect protection money? I just want to play a game." ”
Lao Yao was baffled and didn't say anything.
"Boss, when is there a place?" the black cat immediately asked when he saw that it was full.
"I'll see. Wang Qiang flipped through the notebook that recorded the time, and then looked at the 11:26 display on the watch, and said: "The No. 7 machine still has five minutes to get off the machine, and I will ask if it will be renewed later." ”
"I'm going to ask, I'm going to ask. The black cat couldn't wait to run to the side of machine seven to ask about the situation.
……
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, the game room business reached its peak of the day!
Wang Qiang, who was sitting at the counter, looked at it, the room was already full of people, in addition to the twenty game consoles sitting in front of the people, there were three or four people standing behind each game console, and the sixty-five flat room with twenty game consoles seemed very spacious, but at this time it was so crowded, every time he went to remind the time to come, he had to squeeze through the crowd with great effort, and there was always an illusion, was his house rented small?
Of course, not everyone comes to play games, and some primary and secondary school students have no money and just come to watch others play.
However, more people really want to play games, but now there is no place, so they can only stand and wait, which is a bit similar to the situation in the hot arcade room in Wang Qiang's memory.
"Handsome guy, when the time comes, do you still want to renew the fee?" Wang Qiang asked the young man of the No. 3 machine.
Xiao Young is playing with intelligence cards, three yuan an hour is really expensive, he is a little stretched, stored the record, regretfully: "No, get off the plane." ”
As a result, Xiao Young just stood up, and two middle school students-like people were quick to take up their positions, and one of them was chubby and handed over the money, "Boss, we're going to play Street Fighter." "He's talking about the FC version of "Street Fighter 2", not the arcade version, in fact, the official has not released the FC version of Street Fighter, the official has only done GB Street Fighter, and the FC version of Street Fighter is a copycat game made by the company over there.
A lot of people didn't get them and were very unhappy.
"Hey, these two boys. ”
"That's fast. ”
"Let you star, look, being robbed, right?"
"Boss, boss, which other machine is almost up?"
There was a little chaos for grabbing the position here, and seven or eight people surrounded Wang Qiang, wanting to know which game console was coming next.
This situation made Wang Qiang speechless.
Two days ago, he was worried that there were not enough customers, and now he only hated himself for having fewer game consoles, but there was no way, there were only twenty game consoles in total, and after the summer vacation, maybe the business would drop down greatly, so twenty was about the same.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for his answer, Wang Qiang hurriedly said loudly: "There are still ten minutes left on the eleventh machine, don't ...... it" Before the word was spoken, seven or eight people in front of him scattered in a hurry, and they all ran behind the two elementary school students on the eleventh machine and waited.
The two elementary school students were stared at by so many people and made them furious for a while, and in the end, they didn't ask Wang Qiang to remind them, and got off the plane two or three minutes early, and then caused a rush to grab positions.
Do you want to exaggerate that?
Why does it seem like there are more people today than yesterday?
Although he had a hunch that this was the last madness of the summer vacation, Wang Qiang almost couldn't help but want to get some game consoles and intelligence cards back, and in the end he still held it back, and couldn't help but laugh at himself for being dozens of years old, and he was still so uncalm, in fact, he knew that he didn't blame himself, anyone who saw the current scene would want to add more game consoles.
What does it mean to have a booming business?
That's how business is booming!
Is it a good business to have a full game room?
And now, his playroom is not just full, more people are standing there and waiting.
Wang Qiang already has a hunch that maybe he will be able to complete the agreement with his mother and achieve the first goal after returning from rebirth!
