Chapter 1: Messy Coffee

Next Chapter

Hunan Province, in a small town near the provincial capital Changsha. It was twelve o'clock in the evening, and most of the shops were closed on the cold streets, except for a warm-lit shop at the crossroads of the town.

Through the clean glass door, you can see that there are several display cabinets and shelves inside, and all kinds of neatly arranged pastries and desserts look exquisite and delicious. A hint of sweetness escapes through the movable glass door frame, as if to attract passers-by.

Entering the store, there is a laptop on top of the cash register, and the owner of the store, a man in a black T-shirt, is staring intently at the screen in front of him, muttering something in his mouth.

"There are only 800 fish scales left?" "It's the third time, it must be successful!" After saying that, he controlled the mouse with his right hand and clicked on a box on the screen that resembled a compositing interface. The purple reading strip appeared and slowly increased, and the man's expression showed a hint of nervousness as the reading strip grew.

60%、65%、69%…… 90%。 Seeing that the progress bar was about to come to the end, the man's eyes suddenly showed a hint of joy, and the paper coffee cup he was holding in his left hand was pinched and deformed a little with his mood swings. However, with a soft "snort", the progress bar suddenly disappears when it reaches 96%, and then a "equipment production failed" prompt pops up.

"Damn, what a broken game, 60% chance of failing three times in a row, Lao Tzu's three nights of hard work are blind again. The man's hand holding the mouse slammed down on the table, as if he could hear the mouse's silent protests and wails.

Turning his head to glance at the time in the bottom right corner of the screen, he poured a large sip of coffee. "I don't believe it, I won't close the door if I don't make you today. After speaking, he wiped the coffee foam from the corner of his mouth, and then used the mouse in his hand to operate the character on the screen and began to run.

The man's name is Yang Zi, and one of the shareholders of this cake house is a 28-year-old unmarried young man. Because he works the night shift in the store every day, in order to pass the time, he is playing a more mainstream martial arts-themed online game. The game is nothing more than leveling up, strengthening, engaging in equipment, and fighting monsters.

This game is currently limited to 40 levels, and if he wants to improve his character's attributes, he has only one thing left to equip if he wants to improve his character's attributes. And the setting of this game is that only killing killer monsters has a low chance of dropping equipment.,And it's obtained through the system task and the rare fishing rate of 1/10,000 of the fishing sub-job.,Other monsters can only drop crafting materials.,Plus the success rate of the equipment production of the pit father.,It directly leads to the scarcity of equipment in the game.。

It has been half a year since Yang Zi started playing this game, and there are still a few level 30 pieces of equipment on his full-level characters that have not been replaced. This time, he had been saving up materials for three nights to make a level 40 Silver Scale Armor, but unfortunately luck didn't seem to be on his side today, and three consecutive failures made his efforts come to naught.

This aroused Yang Zi's temper, and after glancing at the materials in the game package, he found that except for the scales of the silver carp, there were only more than 300 scales left, and the number of fish scales needed to make a silver scale armor was 500, so he operated the character to walk out of the blacksmith shop and walked towards the east exit of Plastic Moon City.

The scales of the silver carp are not difficult to obtain, and after the fishing level is upgraded to level 4, there is a greater chance of catching the silver carp with a set of fishing rods and the correct bait in the cloud lake east of Plastic Moon City, and a silver carp can be used to decompose 5-10 scales with life skills. The only thing is that it takes a lot of time. After moving the character to the lake fishing spot, Yang Zi began to fish, and the fishing in the game is divided into automatic fishing and manual fishing.

If you fish automatically, you can buy enough bait and hang up directly, and you don't need someone to guard it, the disadvantage is that the probability of success is far less than that of manual, and it can't trigger the rare fishing rate.

A few days ago, Yang Zi used this fish scale to hang up by the lake, but he was determined to complete the equipment tonight, and he obviously didn't have time to accept this inefficient method, so he switched to manual mode and began to go into battle himself.

Not to mention that the speed is much faster, if he encounters that 1 in 10,000 chance of becoming rich, it is all the precious items above the level in the game can be caught. The few lucky people in the forum posted items that Yang Zi was not less greedy.

Time passed slowly, and it was almost three o'clock in the morning. Yang Zi glanced at the package with sour eyelids, there were already nearly 900 fish scales inside, and he planned to go back after gathering a thousand.

Repeating the same action for so long, he has wanted to hang up to sleep automatically more than once, fortunately, boys generally have a lot of interest in fishing, Yang Zi is no exception, if he usually has time, he often goes to the nearby reservoir fish pond to have a good time.

Although fishing in the game is not as fun as it is in real life, it is not too boring. Hanging up the bait and throwing it into the lake, seeing that catching a dozen more fish can be liberated, Yang Zi stood up and stretched, picked up the coffee cup that had already been drunk and walked to the drink cabinet on the side, intending to make himself a cup of coffee to refresh himself.

As soon as he finished brewing the coffee and was about to return to the computer, Yang Zi heard a prompt sound that he had never heard before. It is different from the familiar sound of fish biting the hook, but a pleasant prompt sound.

After being puzzled for half a second, Yang Zi returned to the computer at a speed of 100 meters, staring at the screen with his eyes fixed, and before he could put down the coffee, he operated the game character and lifted the fishing rod violently. Although Yang Zi hadn't heard this voice with his own ears just now, he was no stranger to the gimmicky event of winning the lottery.

The few lucky ones have never revealed any details when announcing the rare attributes of their catches. If he was not mistaken, this was the rare chance of a 1 in 10,000 fishing deputy in the game for him to encounter, and Yang Zi, who was still wailing about his luck three hours ago, was grinning to his ears at this moment.

You must know that the precious level items in the game are extremely rare, even if the attributes are not very good, it will start at hundreds of RMB when sold to others, which makes him not happy. His mouth said, "Amitabha, God bless, you must produce the best." "The hand is not slow to control the character's gentle reeling.,The fishing rod in the game is a bit similar to the real casting rod.,There is a process of reeling the line.,And the unlucky fish on the hook also have a certain chance of running for you.。

So he didn't dare to be careless, and he wouldn't forgive himself if he ran away because he was in a hurry. Seeing that the treasures on the screen were about to arrive, Yang Zi couldn't help but smirk, and then took the freshly brewed coffee and forgot to take a sip of it.

At the same time, the curiosities on the screen also surfaced, and the golden light flashing around it all showed the extraordinary nature of this item. It's a pity that Yang Zi didn't have the heart to appreciate these at this time, and the moment he entered the coffee, he understood what stupid thing he had done.

In a hurry, he put the coffee cup in his hand and picked up the towel on the side to wipe the computer, but the whole cup of coffee fell to the cash register, and even the socket on the ground was splashed.

The temperature in the south in June has risen to more than 30 degrees, and the slippers Yang Zi was wearing were kicked aside by him because they were too hot. So his bare feet on the ground unfortunately got the coffee spilled on the socket, and the moment he passed out, he only had time to flash a sentence in his mind: "Pit daddy, at least let me see what I caught." ”

Then he collapsed on the computer with a convulsive face, and the current in his body seemed to have a chain reaction with the computer through the coffee on the keyboard. Only a slight sizzling sound was heard, and then the computer screen flashed a few times before it went out completely, and everything was quiet again.
