On a cold night in December 2018, Zhang Yi, who had finished eating, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks of his wife and children, piled them into the sink, and cleaned them quickly.

I took out my guitar, opened the pirated guitar tutorial I downloaded and printed from the Internet, and followed the practice one by one.

At the age of 42, he has short and stubby fingers and incomplete five tones, and practicing the guitar is very difficult for him, but he still enjoys it.

Suddenly, the wife who tutored her son in his homework shouted: "Your classmate has a few pairs of AG shoes, which are changed every day, what does it have to do with us!"

"Don't compare these with others, compare with others, compare with academic performance, study hard every day, and the future is more important than anything else!"

The son's stubborn voice shouted at his mother: "Other people buy a pair of shoes for thousands of yuan, and I still wear cheap millet shoes of more than 100 yuan, how embarrassing! I can't even raise my head in front of my classmates!"

"Your dad has no ability, he only gets a little dead salary every month, and it is difficult to feed the family, and he still wants to buy such expensive shoes, how is it possible!"

The door with poor sound insulation completely presented the conversation between the two to him outside the door.

The two of you said a word, and I scolded each other, Zhang Yi outside the door lowered his head in shame, opened his mouth with a sad face, and was speechless.

Somewhat lonely, he picked up his down jacket from the hanger, walked out of the house, and gently closed the door behind him.

Outside, it was already late at night, and the lights were on in every house, and the glass was hazy in the cold night.

Behind each window, it may be like your own home, although it is warm, but it is always staged with different ups and downs.

Zhang Yi looked up at the window of his house, and the lights were still on.

The quarrels between the son and his wife are still going on and on.

The biting cold wind whistled over his body, he zipped up his clothes, took one last look at the familiar window, and left silently.

Next to the gate of the community, there is an extremely luxurious Internet café, and he was bored, and he walked in unknowingly.

You must know that in the past, he would never enter here, not for anything else, just because the price of this Internet café is almost the most expensive in Haijin.

It's expensive because the configuration of the computer is extremely high, almost the highest configuration popular on the market, each machine is expensive, and there is even a very professional gaming area, equipped with a 120MHZ high refresh rate gaming display, Core i9 CPU, dual RTX 2080 graphics card crossfire, 32G memory, 512G PCI-E SSD.

It adopts a liquid cooling system with graphics card and CPU integration, and a gigabit network card.

Even the bandwidth of this Internet café is almost ten times that of an ordinary Internet café.

Looking at the brilliant colors emitted by these transparent cases, Zhang Yi's saliva was about to flow out, he himself was engaged in software development, and he knew too well the power of these high-end computers.

After getting an internet card, I walked to the high-end computer in the e-sports area.

The network administrator behind him looked at his back and muttered, "This uncle is really trendy, to play such an expensive e-sports area!"

Zhang Yi chose the most unnoticed corner, sat down, and felt it, not to mention the computer itself, professional gaming tables and chairs are more in line with the curves of the human body and more comfortable.

But what he didn't notice was that in the glass cabinet behind him, rows of huge graphics cards were running at full speed.

I logged in to the Windows system of the Internet café, searched for the latest agent, logged in to the open source code management website GitHub, and looked at several open source projects I participated in, and whether anyone had submitted new modifications. There are no new people on the blog who are paying attention and asking questions.

Open Baidu, casually searched for some interesting content, and found that the full screen search was all Baidu's Baijia number or advertising promotion, and scolded angrily, such a garbage to the best search engine, in the world, it can be regarded as a scorpion to pull poop, the only one.

I can't find what I need, so I have no choice but to go to Google.

Browse Google's Keep notepad and reply to some emails from foreign friends on GitHub. Full of English emails is not a difficult thing for him.

It's funny to say, he studied English for nine years in junior high school, high school, and college, and after graduating, he joined the work, only to find that he couldn't read English newspapers, and he didn't know anything about reading posts in English forums.

On the contrary, after going to work, he mixed with Google and GitHub, and miraculously, he quickly became proficient in writing letters, blogging, and reading original English books in English.

After doing all this, he logged on to the Steam online game platform and opened the PUBG game, a tense and fast-paced game, which soon made him forget his troubles in reality and devote himself to it.

He was fascinated by the game, and suddenly felt that the table was shaking slightly, and subconsciously felt that someone was shaking the table, but immediately realized that something was wrong, this kind of e-sports table is independent, very heavy, very stable, how can someone shake.

With a stir in his head, a thought immediately popped up that he didn't even dare to think about: "Could it be an earthquake?"

Suddenly, a greater shaking came, and he swayed from side to side, unable to sit at all.

Having learned the knowledge of earthquake escape, he knows very well that at this time, when there is no escape, finding the corner of the building is the king.

I tried hard to get under the table, but this usually easy action was as difficult as the sky when the earth shook violently.

When I bent down, I heard a squeaking sound suddenly coming from behind me.

When he looked back, he found a glass cabinet with a large number of graphics cards smashed at him.

For a moment, he was stupefied. Stay where you are, overwhelmed.

At this time, a nonsensical idea suddenly popped into my mind, if the martial arts I learned since childhood could be persevered, maybe I could quickly dodge and avoid this like a movie stunt action.

It's a pity that the wishes are good, but the reality is cruel. He has been a programmer and a coder for many years, and his body has completely hollowed out his overtime and otaku attributes, not to mention dodging, it is difficult to even stand firm.

The moment the glass cabinet fell, the shards of glass that smashed on his head scratched his head, bloody, and then, there was a motherboard with a large number of graphics cards plugged in. Looking at these motherboards and graphics cards, in an instant, he realized what the bare motherboards and graphics cards were used for in these glass cabinets.

It turned out that the owner of the Internet café not only opened an Internet café to make money, but also got a lot of mining machines to mine bitcoins, and the so-called perfect seat that happened to be chosen by himself, when the earthquake came, turned out to be the most fatal position.

At the moment of losing consciousness, he was a little relieved: "In the future, I don't have to see the quarrels at home, I can get a huge amount of compensation because of the life insurance I purchased, which can make my wife and son live a better life! And being stoned to death by the computer that he loved all his life is a well-deserved death!".

Zhang Yi, who was pressed by the exposed mining machine, surrounded by a light blue arc of electricity, and the blood flowing out and the mining machine gradually approached.

There was chaos in the Internet café, people around were scurrying around looking for cover, and no one noticed Zhang Yi who fell under the cabinet.

Under the cabinet, a super-small, similar to a computer hard drive, emitted a faint blue light, floating as if it were real and illusory, came to the pineal gland in the center of Zhang Yi's forehead, and with a bang, got into it, and disappeared.

In the dark, he felt a mechanically synthesized voice ring in his head: the host's body was being detected.

Physique: Junk Level, Occupation: Programmer, According to the strong will in the host's mind, choose to travel time: After the college entrance examination in the summer of 1997.
