Chapter 10: Childhood Games

The boy propped himself up excitedly, and his hands were even more excited to tap on the keyboard. But as soon as he got up, Xia Lian used a special energy collision to knock Hong-maru up, and quickly launched a second energy collision before he landed, and this continued three times in a row, until Hong-maru was hit into a dead corner of the game interface.

And this is not over, when the other party was about to land again, Xia Lian accurately sent out a flying move, and once again pushed the red pill into the sky.

After several successive attacks with almost no gaps, the blood volume of the red-pill controlled by the boy had bottomed out, and in the next Xia Lian continued to maintain the offensive, and after a while, the red-pill was completely "tortured to death"

"I'm careless, careless!" the boy roared excitedly, but there was no hint of anger in his tone, but he became more and more excited.

The second round began, and this time, neither side opted to attack immediately, but continued to test the other. Xia Lian continuously let Terry use energy waves and light feet to prevent Daimon Goro's melee moves, and those who have played this game know that Daimon Goro specializes in melee attacks, and if a master catches the opportunity, it is enough to directly blow it up with continuous combo attacks.

The boy on the other side really operated sharply, and he easily dodged Terry's energy wave with a roll, and approached directly. Xia Lian felt a hint of excitement in his heart, and immediately used an inverted leap whirlwind kick to attack the diagonal top of the gate.

But he did think of the other party as too simple, and besides, after not playing a game for ten years, he almost played the game that he was playing against a real person, not a programmed computer.

Daimon Goro quickly raised his hands and caught Terry, who had jumped into the air and was obviously several times smaller, and slammed it to the ground like a garbage, and then grabbed him from the ground and threw it out.

When Terry landed again, he didn't forget to thump heavily on the ground, which was also Gorou Daimon's only ranged skill. The vibration of the entire ground also made Terry, who had just landed, lose a little bit of blood again.

This series of attacks almost wiped out half of Terry's HP. Xia Lian was a little anxious to control Terry, who had just gotten up, but at the same time, Daimon Gorou pressed on again.

After seeing the power of the perfect combination of melee attacks just now, Xia Lian, who was a little afraid, instinctively controlled Terry to roll to the other side of the gate, but this seemed to be in the hands of the other party.

Daimon Gorou reacted quickly and made another move, "Cutting the Plant", and threw Terry out again. These two consecutive waves of attacks are enough to boost the opponent's morale. Sure enough, the smiling face of the boy next to Xia Lian was enough to show how cheerful he was at the moment.

The opponent's Gate Goro continued to maintain a strong offensive mode, not giving Xia Lian the slightest respite. Xia Lian was a little nervous to manipulate Terry, trying to distance himself from him to stabilize his position, but the opponent's gate was indeed skillful, and he always forced Terry to use his melee skills.

The King of Fighters is arguably the originator of competitive gaming, where the winner of the game is often decided in a split second.

After an unconventional backward roll, Goro Daimon suddenly accelerated, rushed behind Terry, and picked him up at the waist to end the round with a beautiful back-to-back throw. This time, Goro Daimon won by an absolute margin.

The boy roared excitedly, attracting the people in the Internet café to look at him unconsciously. Xia Lian smiled bitterly and shook his head, judging from the boy's method of controlling Daimon Goro, Xia Lian could almost conclude that in the first round, the other party was suspected of letting him, plus he had never played with a keyboard, and he had not been in contact for too long, and his skills were also a lot unfamiliar.

The boy seemed to see Xia Lian's somewhat lost look, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "It's okay brother, didn't you win me too?"

Xia Lian smiled politely and continued to start the next round. The next character is Liana, an absolutely skillful and agile character who also needs difficult operations to exert her powers.

As soon as the round began, Xia Lian manipulated Liana to carry out guerrilla warfare around the gate, constantly using light offensive moves, so that although he could dodge in time, the damage caused was relatively small. What's more, Xia Lian's unfamiliar operation left him a fatal loophole.

After two light hand attacks, Xia Lian originally wanted to catch a full moon scimitar, but he mistakenly used a boomerang. Gorou Daimon easily blocked the first blow and then rushed up at great speed.

Gorou Gate, who had already stored a star, immediately launched a special move, lifted Liana up and smashed it to the ground several times in a row, and finally threw it rudely, and still didn't forget to grab it and smash it again when he finally landed, this move forcibly reduced more than half of Liana's HP.

Sure enough, under Xia Lian's poor operation, Liana failed to give full play to her dexterous advantages at all, but was thrown around like a small sandbag. This round still ended with Xia Lian's defeat.

Xia Lian moved his fingers a little depressed, and ushered in his last character - Yagamian, which is an extremely strong character in this game, and his cool and handsome moves make him the most popular character, and of course, the requirements for operation are also quite high.

However, this is also the best character Xia Lian has ever operated, ten years ago, he was able to beat all his peers and even some older children in this game, mainly relying on Yagami An.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the new round, Xia Lian's Yagami An, under the combination of energy waves and light and heavy feet, made it impossible for Daimon Goro to get close, and then, in the continuous dragon fist attacks and melee grappling, he was filled with the energy of a star, and immediately used his special move-Eight Childish Girl.

With that trademark crisp sound and a frenzied tear, Daimon Gorou fell to the ground with a bang.

"I'm Kao, brother, Yagami is playing pretty well!" the boy next to him cast a look of surprise and admiration.

Xia Lian smiled a little proudly: "Hehe, luck!"

Then, the last character of the opponent also played, and this round was the ultimate showdown, and both of them were still in full health.

Xia Lian has been using the method of active attack for a long time, giving full play to the fast strength of Yagami Nunnery to attack continuously. And obviously, the opponent's Cao Zhijing is also one of his trump cards.

Kusa quickly adjusted his pace after taking a few injuries and began to play to his strengths. After Yagami's sunflower move was successfully resisted by Kusa Zhijing, the opponent immediately opened it with a close elbow strike, followed by another sky-high fire punch......

In the end, under the fire god's nirvana, Xia Lian declared defeat. It's just that Cao Zhijing didn't have less than one-third of his blood in the end.

"Not bad brother, you can spend so much time with my grass child. The boy patted Xia Lian's shoulder with excitement and satisfaction and said, "If it weren't for one of your mistakes, I'm afraid I would have lost." ”

"No, it's true that I lost. Xia Lian said with a convincing smile.

The man waved his hand and said with a smile: "Alas, why are you talking so formally, it's just a game, it's just a game, the most important thing is to be happy, to be honest, I haven't had such fun for a long time!" After speaking, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Xia Lian.

"I'm sorry, I don't smoke. Xia Lian waved his hand politely.

The boy didn't force it, he lit one and smoked it: "Don't be stunned, keep playing and keep playing." After he finished speaking, he shouted at the cashier counter of the Internet café: "Boss, come have two bottles of Coke!"

At this noon, Xia Lian really forgot all his troubles, and was silent in the joy of the game, as if he had returned to the carefree childhood in his memory, and another voice in his head did not appear again, and he seemed to be intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.

Although Xia Lian still lost the majority of the times in the next duel, he always maintained that happy mood, and the strange boy next to him was also as excited as a child less than ten years old.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I have to go to class!" I don't know how long it took, the time in the lower right corner of the computer had already pointed to two o'clock, and Xia Lian also missed the time for afternoon self-study, so he stood up anxiously.

"Huh, are you leaving?" the man looked at Xia Lian with reluctance in his eyes.

"yes, I'm late. Xia Lian also said with some loss.

"You're a freshman in the sixth high school, aren't you?" the boy asked, "I haven't seen you before." ”

Xia Lian nodded: "It's the first time I've come here to play." ”

"My name is Zhang Chong, what's your name?" the boy took the initiative to ask.

"My name is Xia Lian. ”

The boy nodded as he looked Xia Lian up and down with interest.

Seeing his dusty clothes all over his body, the boy seemed to understand something and said, "To be honest, I haven't played games so well for a long time, but I'm lucky to meet you." Little did you know, not many people have played this classic game these days, and even my friends have been playing it unsightly. The boy shook his head helplessly.

"Classmate, I won't tell you yet, I have to leave first!" Xia Lian hurriedly said goodbye and left.

"Brother, wait a minute!" Xia Lian had just rushed out of the Internet café in a hurry, and the boy named Zhang Chong chased after him again.

"Take the drink and drink it!" Zhang Chong stuffed a new bottle of drink into Xia Lian's hand, and then said: "If you have any problems, go to the vocational institute over there to find me, just report my name directly, or you can also call me." As he spoke, he stuffed a note with a phone number into Xia Lian's hand.

Less than 200 meters from the back door of the sixth middle school, there is the vocational college in Zhang Chong's mouth, the full name of which is Jiuye Technical Vocational College.

Of course, Xia Lian didn't have any impression of this school, but in the local area, and even in the entire city of Yuzhou, there are too many violent incidents here, especially the juvenile brawls in this area, and 60% of the people from this vocational school are involved.

More than 75 percent of the school's students graduate and join the local community, and about 40 percent of them go to prison or on the streets.

Xia Lian nodded without thinking about anything: "Thank you!"

"It's Friday, do you have time in the evening, let's make another appointment?" the boy asked eagerly, apparently not having enough fun.

"Tonight?" Xia Lian thought for a moment, "It may not be convenient." At this time, Xia Lian thought that he still had a bunch of troubles in school that had not been solved, and besides, I heard from the teacher that Wang Ze woke up today, and he planned to visit him, after all, this matter also had something to do with him.

"Alas, don't be disappointed, it's hard to meet a confidant. Zhang Chong said with a big grin: "Okay, you go back first." ”

Xia Lian nodded, turned around and ran quickly towards the school.
