It's almost one o'clock in the afternoon.

The autumn tiger is still in full swing, the sun is scorching the earth, the wild grass by the roadside is almost burning, the heat wave in the air is breathless, there is not a trace of wind, the willow trees on the bank of the river hang their heads, and the canna not far away is almost withering.

Unlike the scorching heat outside, the games room was silent.

Lao Zhang Quan's head and bald head shrank in front of the counter and looked at each other, both saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes, they never thought that the thief had entered the robber's den, such as the strong man in front of him, the two knew each other, and they both knew that they were from the Qinglong Gang, Lao Zhangquan looked very awesome in the eyes of ordinary people, but compared with the Qinglong Gang, the difference was more than 108,000 miles.

"I ...... I ......" Ban Cuntou swallowed, unable to speak at all.

At this time, the strong man said something that made them stunned.

"Don't me, me, me, you want to collect protection money. The strong man happily pointed to Xiaojian next to him, "Well, the sea dragon circle, in order to collect protection money, it has become like this." ”

The board and the bald head sighed, and looked in the direction they pointed, and saw only seven or eight pig-headed people looking at them.

The bald head carefully recognized the sound for a while, and said in a lost voice: "You are Xiao Jian!? Why did you become like this?" He knew Xiao Jian in the Sea Dragon Circle, and the two had eaten together several times.

"Well, it's me. Being demolished in front of acquaintances, Xiao Jian was a little embarrassed, and he didn't feel good in his heart, suddenly, he had an idea in his heart, and immediately pulled the corners of his mouth that were still red and swollen and smiled, and said to each other: "It's true, I became like this because of the protection fee, but ah, some people want to make trouble here even worse, for example, Dong Xiaowu of their Qinglong Gang, one of his arms was broken, not to mention how miserable." ”

it!

Dong Laohu's arms were broken?

How is this game room hiding the dragon and crouching tiger?

The bald head and the board inhaled hissedly, as if they couldn't believe the news was so powerful.

The strong man glared and said, "You!"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Wang Qiang patted the counter, made a bangbang sound, and shouted: "What are you doing?

To the surprise of the bald head and the board cuntou, a brutal member of the Blue Dragon Gang and the Sea Dragon Circle, not only did they not go crazy after being drunk, but on the contrary, they accompanied the smiling face and said good things about the young game room owner, and they even wondered if they were wrong.

……

The two of them had a mess of heads, and they didn't know how to get out of the game room, but when they met an acquaintance after leaving, they immediately told the story in disbelief.

"Ayu, do you know?"

"Know what?"

"Xiao Jian in the Sea Dragon Circle went to collect protection money and was beaten!"

"You're kidding, aren't you?"

"No kidding, we saw it with our own eyes. ”

"I'm grass, big news. ”

"That's not all, Dong Xiaowu of the Blue Dragon Gang knows, right?"

"You know, could it be that Xiaojian was beaten by Dong Laohu?"

"No, no, it's Dong Xiaowu who went to the game room to make trouble, and one of his arms was broken!"

"Why do you talk more and more outrageous, and you didn't wake up, right?"

"What am I lying to you for, it's the Longteng game room on Qinghai Road, now Xiaojian is still over there, I don't believe you can go and see for yourself, the people of the Qinglong Gang are still detained over there." ”

Many people in the Dao have heard the news, who will believe it? If it is said that the Sea Dragon Circle has been beaten for collecting protection money, then it is reasonable to say that Qinglong has helped Dong Laohu make trouble, and he can still be discounted by someone's arm? It is simply an international joke and an insult to their IQ.

Unbelief.

No one believed it.

Even many people talk about it as a joke and a good buddy.

"Do you know what Xiao Ming of Lao Zhang Circle said to me just now?"

"Well, I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Xiao Ming was crazy, he actually said that Xiao Jian in the Sea Dragon Circle was beaten for collecting protection money, and he also said that Dong Xiaowu of the Blue Dragon Gang was making trouble in the Dragon Game Room and his arm was broken. ”

One pass ten.

Ten to hundred.

People in the neighborhood heard the "rumors" that made people laugh.

Many people don't believe it, but what the board and the bald head say are the same, and many people can't help but be curious, can't it be true?

So someone really touched it quietly with curiosity, wanting to find out, people, more or less curious, not to mention this group of idle bastards, it doesn't take much time to run over to see.

There is a person running over, there are groups of people, anyway, there is only one purpose, to confirm whether the thing is true, of course, they are not only full of food and leisure, but also want to know if the dragon game room that heard the name for the first time can be provoked, if the matter is fake, there will be a way to make a fortune in the future, if the thing is true, then retreat, can't afford to provoke and hide.

……

Playroom.

Wang Qiang and Zhu Xiaofeng had just finished eating wontons, and they were so hot that they were each fanning the wind with a handful of paper fans.

But something strange happened.

Three or five people walked in from time to time at the door, and this group of people didn't play games, but just looked inside, and some people might be familiar with Xiaojian and strong men, and ran over to chat.

When they first started to play games, many people were very repulsed, but after playing for a while, they all felt very interesting, especially Xiaojian Xiaowen, the eight people who played intelligence cards, the more they played, the more energetic they became.

At that time, Xiaojian was playing "Final Fantasy 1", and he was encountering the pirate leader Vic, and he was having a good time, when he suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder, and when he looked back, he was a person from another circle, nicknamed Black Cat.

The black cat was startled when she saw Xiao Jian at first glance, and asked in a low voice, "You really received protection money and was beaten?"

Xiao Jian hated it so much, but he had a good relationship with the black cat, and he couldn't ignore it, so he said vaguely: "Hmm." ”

The black cat looked left and right, and asked the curiosity in his heart, "Then did Dong Laohu's arm be broken?"

Speaking of this Xiaojian, he couldn't help but feel a little proud, he had been slapped hard by Dong Xiaowu before, and he was very sure: "Yes." Then I went back and continued to play the game.

The black cat's curiosity came up, sat down next to Xiao Jian, and asked about the situation from time to time, the two of them lowered their voices at first and were indeed talking about Dong Xiaowu, but chatting and chatting, the black cat was unconsciously attracted by the game on the screen, and the villain in it would encounter monsters as he walked, and he would upgrade after playing to a certain experience, and there were all kinds of tasks, even if he was just a bystander, he gradually became interested.

"Eh, what game do you play?"

"Final Fantasy. ”

"What, will it work for me to play?"

"If you want to play by yourself, you can turn on the computer yourself, and this kind of intelligence card costs three dollars an hour. ”

"Three dollars, so expensive?"

"If you like to play or not, don't bother me, I play games. ”

In the end, the black cat raised for a while, but still stood up and walked towards the counter.

……

This way.

was chatting with Zhu Xiaofeng, when a voice came from his ear, "Boss, open a machine for me." ”

Wang Qiang looked up and saw that it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, since he was a customer, he must have welcomed it, he stood up with a smile and said: "I have an ordinary card and an intelligence card, an ordinary card is a five-day hour, and the intelligence card is ......."

"I know, three. The black cat took out ten yuan from his pocket, handed it over, and then turned around and pointed to the right against the wall, "I'm going to play the same game as Xiaojian." ”

What kind of game does Xiaojian play?

Let me think, oh yes, it seems like Final Fantasy.

Wang Qiang rummaged through the drawer of the game card and found that there were only "Devouring Heaven and Earth" and "Three Kingdoms - Overlord's Continent" left, so he had to say: "Final Fantasy is gone, do you want to play Devouring Heaven and Earth or Overlord's Continent?"

The black cat was not very happy and said, "It's not as fun as Final Fantasy, is it?"

To say that FC intelligence card peak, Wang Qiang felt that "Devouring the World" and "Heavy Loader" should be the best, and "Final Fantasy" was slightly worse, he swore that he took out the "Devouring the World" game card and said: "This game is definitely more fun than Final Fantasy, I don't believe you can play it, if you have played it and think it's not fun, I'll give you Xiaojian a change for Final Fantasy." ”

The black cat was skeptical, "Then I'll try." ”

Then Wang Qiang turned on the machine for him, deliberately stood there and didn't leave, and guided for a while.

The black cat quickly got started, had a lot of fun, and shouted for fun.

"Isn't it more fun than Final Fantasy?" said Wang Qiang with a smile.

"Yes, yes, it's more fun than Final Fantasy. The black cat stared intently at the screen.

Just as he wanted to give another point, Zhu Xiaofeng's shouting came.

"Uncle Wang, I'm too busy!"

Wang Qiang was a little puzzled, he had only been standing here and pointing out the black cat for more than ten minutes, why was he too busy? He just wanted to turn around and say, "Don't be cheating and playing tricks," but your words stopped abruptly as soon as they reached his mouth.

Why?

Because there were more than a dozen people crowded in front of the counter.

Wang Qiang hurriedly walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Quick. ”

"Hurry up and turn it on for me. ”

"I've seen old Lou play a very interesting game. ”

More than a dozen people were noisy, all trying to play games.

Wang Qiang was a little confused, he almost scared the guests away before, he had been ready for a few days to recover, but now what is the scene in front of him?

Business is inexplicably good?

A dozen customers with unfamiliar faces suddenly appeared?
