I don't know how long it took, Li Shaohui woke up hungry, he wanted to continue to lie in bed, but he had to get up to find food under the strong protest of his stomach.

After getting out of bed, he found that there was nothing to eat in the room, only the melon peel and fruit crumbs from the previous days lying quietly in the corner. Li Shaohui secretly shouted that he was unlucky, so he had to wash up briefly, and kicked down to eat in big pants and slippers.

I chose a Chongqing small noodle restaurant and asked for a bowl of noodles with mixed sauce, an egg, and a grilled sausage. Li Shaohui temporarily abandoned all his troubles, leisurely enjoyed lunch, he ate the food, while admiring the charm of the proprietress who still exists, the first time I felt that resignation is also a good choice, you can enjoy this wonderful life slowly and leisurely.

After a full meal, Li Shaohui burped with satisfaction and walked along the food street in front of the hotel.

Because it was not meal time, there was some depression on the street, and there were only one or two pedestrians, pacing slowly, Li Shaohui walked forward aimlessly, walked past a few quiet coffee shops, and also walked past a few hazy foot massage shops...

Suddenly, a "Wangwang" bark sounded, Li Shaohui suddenly looked, it turned out to be a erha who was tied to a tree, this erha was anxiously circling around the tree, and barked excitedly when he saw someone, as if hoping that someone would untie the leash for it.

Li Shaohui smiled, and saw through Erha that there was a luxuriously decorated Internet café opposite, which was called "Green Internet Cafe", could the service inside it really be green and pollution-free? With such a question, Li Shaohui crossed the road and took a closer look, this Internet café has red walls and black tiles, and it has a retro style, which makes Li Shaohui suddenly think of the video games when he was a child.

At that time, he was still living in the countryside, because his grandfather was very strict with him, so he had not been very happy with it, until now, he was not very proficient in those games, and this became a big regret in his childhood.

Later, his parents' positions were promoted, and Li Shaohui also moved to the city, but the busy work of his parents and the trend of intensifying quarrels also made Li Shaohui, who had just entered the rebellious period of youth and lacked companionship, painful, so at that time he began to indulge in games to avoid the harm of his parents, and resisted silently.

However, at that time, the game of Xiaobawang had been eliminated, and it was a slot machine and an arcade game. Li Shaohui didn't have much interest in slot machines, firstly, because the strict education he received since he was a child made him instinctively reject this kind of gambling game. It is reported that when he was in junior high school, the county seat in his hometown was also exposed by the provincial television station with a small news, saying that it was a middle-aged man in his 40s, who lost more than 200,000 yuan because of playing slot machines, and his wife was separated, which was really regrettable; second, he was young at the time, and his parents never got used to him in order to cultivate his correct view of money, so Li Shaohui at that time never ate breakfast in order to save money and play games, and sometimes even went to the railway next to the school to pick up some rotten iron, plastic bottles, and cardboard to sell.

What's even funnier is that once, Li Shaohui and a few classmates deliberately made trouble on the railway, and put all kinds of iron nails they picked up on the railroad tracks, and the serious consequence was that a train pulling coal was forced to stop, which alarmed the police, and found Li Shaohui and those troublemakers, for which the school also held a school-wide safety education meeting, saying that this is the biggest shame since the school was established, and the guests of the meeting are naturally indispensable to the parents of these troublemakers, so Li Shaohui, who returned home, inevitably had to learn the white eyes of his mother and the belt of his father.

Li Shaohui remembers that the first arcade game he played was "Dinosaur Kombat", which had a total of eight levels, and at most three people could play together, so at that time, in order to clear the customs, he often stayed in the video game city with his friends.

After that, many games such as "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "War of the Three Kingdoms" and many other games have also entered the market, and in order to play these games well, Li Shaohui has worked hard, not only humbly asking his classmates for tricks, but also making up reasons to ask his mother for money, and sometimes even stealing some quietly.

When Li Shaohui was rich, he naturally wanted to soak in the game hall, at that time the county was not developed, there were not many buildings, and there were old brick houses everywhere, and those game halls were opened here, or in a small alley, or in a dilapidated basement, or in a normal person's house with a closed door, because it was safe and hidden, not only the police could not find it, but even the parents and parents could not find it. Looking back now, Li Shaohui will despise those black-hearted bosses, for a few small money, misleading people's children. If he really has no money, Li Shaohui will stand next to the game console and watch others play, or choose an arcade machine without coins to think seriously and simulate exploration.

Li Shaohui's deepest impression and the most sense of accomplishment is the game "The King of Fighters 98", because in this game, he finally experienced the joy of hard work and success, and also experienced the pleasure of being worshipped.

It was about to enter the third year of junior high school, and at that time, Li Shaohui disdained to play pediatric games such as "Dinosaur Kombat" and "Three Kingdoms War", and began to play "The King of Fighters 98".

It is also a day to reward hard work, and with Li Shaohui's efforts, his kung fu has finally achieved great success.

At that time, Li Shaohui often missed the video game city opened by a family in the alley in front of his house, (until now, his parents didn't know that there was a small video game city there, which shows the atmosphere at that time) He often used a game currency bought by Wujiao, which took more than 30 minutes to complete the customs clearance, and each time after the customs clearance, the surprise of the surrounding crowd and the boss's uneared sigh will be ushered in, because with Li Shaohui's gameplay, the owner of the video game city always feels that he has lost a lot.

Once, when everyone was surprised by Li Shaohui's skills, an arrogant voice sounded, "I'll give it a try, boy, do you dare to compare with you Brother Wang and me?"

Li Shaohui looked at this young man with yellow curly hair and sharp-beaked monkey gills, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and was still a little scared in his heart, so he whispered: "If you lose, you are not allowed to be a scoundrel." ”

"Cut, little brat, I'm going to hit you right now if I don't play. The yellow-haired man was arrogant, and then turned his head to look at everyone and suggested, "Why don't you bet on something?"

"Okay, I have a dollar, I'll bet on Xiao Li to win. ”

"I bet on Brother Wang to win, I have a pack of spicy strips. ”

"I have 5 yuan, I bet on Xiao Li. The crowd chattered, and there was a moment of confusion. The boss yelled, and everyone gradually quieted down, and then the boss used a cardboard box to put everyone's money and belongings there, and kept accounts in a unified manner.

Next is the duel between Li Shaohui and Brother Huang Mao, but what surprised Li Shaohui was that Brother Huang Mao looked so bad, but the level of the game was really bad, and it didn't take him long to "KO" Brother Huang Mao simply and easily.

"Oh, we won. The crowd erupted in cheers, and those who bet on Huang Mao to win could only watch with their heads down and those who won cheering.

"Boy, I'll talk to you about something. Brother Huang Mao said half embarrassed and half threatening: "You see that it doesn't matter if you lose Brother Wang, the key is not to let these brothers who follow me be unlucky!"

Li Shaohui was still a child at that time, and he was afraid of Brother Huangmao, so he whispered: "Then what do you say, big brother?"

"I came up with a way, use all this money to exchange food and drink with me, and everyone share it equally?"

"Well, this is a good way, do you have any opinions?" Huang Mao asked with a laugh, everyone was afraid of Huang Mao, of course they didn't dare to have any objections.

So, the boss went in and got some snacks such as spicy noodles, crispy noodles and popsicles and shared them with everyone. Although a long time has passed since this incident, Li Shaohui still remembers the boss very well, and that guy is too cunning, first of all, he used everyone's money to buy things from him, and unknowingly made a small business, and secondly, the things he took out were really pitiful, because Li Shaohui, the most glorious winner, only got a bag of crispy noodles and two packs of spicy noodles, which obviously did not match the total amount of money at the beginning. Of course, Li Shaohui figured out these things later, and he only remembered that he was rewarded for winning the game, but he still ate happily.

Time flies, with the obsolescence of the arcade, the Internet café began to flourish, at that time the Internet café was far less than now, a room of less than 20 square meters, with a dozen "big butt" computers, plus a few stools, with noisy sound and the smell of smoke that can choke people to death.

At that time, computer games mainly included "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert", when Li Shaohui played "Counter-Strike" for the first time, he was almost "stunned" by the game screen, only to see a palm holding a gun or a knife in the screen, circling around, and I don't know what he was doing, and then the character he played would always fall down inexplicably, a game down, died N times, not a single game character was killed, in the case of ineffective hard practice, he sighed and gave up decisively.

Then there is the game "Red Alert", Li Shaohui understands that this is a role-playing game under the guidance of his cousin, and it is necessary to collect resources, upgrade buildings, and build troops and weapons to attack each other.

At the beginning, Li Shaohui played this game with great enthusiasm, but after many efforts, the result was still unsatisfactory, and he tried N simple tricks with the computer, but he still lost miserably, and in less than half an hour, he was beaten by the computer man with a mighty team, not to mention against other classmates, so this is also a shame in the history of Li Shaohui's game.

Later, the online game "Legend" appeared, and when it first came out, Li Shaohui, like everyone else, was stunned by this game. The beautiful classical music, the antique architectural environment, the colorful professional life, and the player chooses an ancient character, in which or hunting, mining, and apprenticeship... There is a feeling of a long sword in hand, smiling proudly. It's just that this feeling didn't last for two months, and Li Shaohui quit again, endless tasks, no new turn-based monsters and other factors are really annoying, as if this is also a common problem in domestic online games.

And these reasons also made Li Shaohui once very disgusted with Internet cafes, what kind of broken games, how can there be arcade games to play, so at that time there was a strange image, Li Shaohui's classmates were playing computer games, discussing all kinds of fun of computer games, but Li Shaohui was still immersed in arcade games. For this reason, Li Shaohui was not laughed at, laughing at him for being outdated and backward, not a normal post-90s generation.

A person who lives by memories can imagine how painful and helpless his current situation is, of course, on the other hand, people should also think about the past and reflect on themselves...
