On the winter solstice, the cold wind mixed with snow particles knocked on the door of the house.

Chen Hao put his hands in his pockets, his neck shrunk hard, wrapped in a dark black thick cotton coat, like an expired chocolate jelly bean.

After closing the door, he stepped out of the hallway, looked up at the lead-gray clouds, and estimated that the snow would have to fall for a long time.

On the plain white snow, there is a path paved with slag, and from time to time you can see snow-covered shared bicycles falling crookedly in the snow.

Walking out of the neighborhood, the situation on the street looks much better.

Covered in snow, the ground is covered in snow, and early sanitation workers are clearing the roads.

Chen Hao tightened his collar to block out the cold wind wrapped in snow particles, and walked towards the Internet café.

When he arrived at the nearby alley, Chen Hao looked at the time, around half past five in the morning.

Those who are still on the computer at this time are generally old netizens.

At the door of the Internet café, Chen Hao stomped on the snow particles on his feet, rolled down the brim of his hat, pushed away the thick army-green windshield, and walked in.

Accompanied by the warm airflow, there is a stinging throat smell of smoke, greasy instant noodles...

Chen Hao took a deep breath of this familiar breath and slightly loosened the zipper of his clothes, as if to let this breath stay on his body.

"Why did you come here? What time is it? ”

The sickly complaint came from near the bar, and following the sound, a short-haired girl was holding a hot drink, looking at Chen Hao with unkind eyes.

She was wearing a long black trench coat, tight plush trousers, beige platform boots, and a pair of wireless headphones around her neck.

It's a pity, just like a fruit that has been left for a long time will always attract insects, this girl with slightly puffy dark eye bags and bloodless pale skin is completely a bad look of staying up late for a long time.

"How long has it been since you've rested?"

Looking at the other party's overworked appearance, Chen Hao frowned and asked.

Han Ru rubbed her hair and didn't answer: "Okay, let's go quickly." ”

Chen Hao followed behind Han Ru, looking at the other party's vain and weak footsteps, he suddenly sighed lightly and followed.

This young man is a game expert, and he has been playing various online games, stand-alone games, and arcade games since he was a child. As long as you look at the right eye, you won't stop if you don't clear the customs.

Entering the cubicle, three somewhat bloated machines were placed side by side.

It is oval in shape, with a slightly bulging belly, and it looks like a miniature cabin.

On one of the machines, through the brown plexiglass, you can see a young man struggling inside.

Short, well-rendered blonde hair with burr-like roots standing up.

The facial features are slightly raised, revealing the raised cheekbones, and the overall outline can refer to the villains in those movies.

As for the figure, it is simply a bunch of muscles, and with thick winter clothes, it looks like a hibernating giant bear.

"Brother Biao, get off the plane and eat something."

Chen Hao pressed the reminder button, and a yellow reminder flashing light suddenly flashed in the cabin.

Brother Biao rubbed his face and climbed out of the cabin, and his reckless and fierce appearance suddenly frightened several netizens who stayed up late and didn't dare to look at it.

The three of them said hello, and under Chen Hao's push and shove, they came to a nearby breakfast shop.

There's no way, whether it's Han Ru or Brother Biao, they all belong to the category of game maniacs.

The two of them called Chen Hao all night last night, but he didn't come, looking at the appearance of the two, they must have not slept all night.

Sitting at the dining table, the two of them were like soldiers who had lost their armor, showing a wilting state.

Heavy eyelids, drowsiness, drowsiness.

Chen Hao hurriedly persuaded him, but Han Ru couldn't move, and sat on the chair like a shrine and dozed off.

Brother Biao said that he would reduce the number of times he stayed up late in the future.

After eating, the two looked a lot better.

With some energy, the two of them were like magnets, sucking and walking towards the Internet café.

Chen Hao had to follow, watching the two of them discuss the game strategy fiercely all the way, Chen Hao had to sigh at the fate of the three.

Han Ru is young, and she likes to play games with Chen Hao since she was a child.

I didn't graduate from college either, so I just moved out of my home and got away.

Chen Hao went to college, but with such a dead friend, he quickly fell into the abyss of the game.

Brother Biao is more alternative, sensitive, very concerned about other people's opinions, sometimes inexplicably tantrums, but sometimes as hot as a kettle.

With an undulating personality, he looks reckless and fierce, and with that oppressive body like a giant bear, he has few friends.

The three of them got acquainted because of the game, and Han Ru and Chen Hao both received some help from Brother Biao, especially Han Ru, who helped her get a game live broadcast room, which can be regarded as an intermittent income.

They are like three boats sailing in the huge waves, wandering in the ocean of the game, riding the wind and waves, overcoming thorns and thorns....

"Overcoming all obstacles, you're all dying suddenly, still playing?"

The two in front of them were discussing in a heated place, ignoring Chen Hao's nagging.

Chen Hao sighed lightly and simply joined in.

The reason why the two of them are so sleepless and forget to eat is mainly because of a virtual game that is about to start public beta.

Those three bloated-looking cabins are for gaming.

Gaming helmets have long been outdated, and now the mainstream gaming equipment is the kind of semi-enclosed gaming cabin.

Sit and lie down casually, and the comfort is extremely high. The mouse and keyboard have also been replaced by sensing devices, plus the virtual panorama of the cabin, which is an absolute ultimate enjoyment.

But even the kind of anti-game pod in the Internet café, Chen Hao can't buy it, and he can't save a little rich for a month's salary from his hard work, and he can't eat and drink.

On the contrary, Han Runa's game live broadcast, although the income is intermittent, it is more than Chen Hao's work.

Back at the Internet café and sitting in the cabin, Han Ru and Brother Biao were like restarting, and the whole person exuded a sense of excitement, and Chen Hao shook his head.

"If you go on like this, you're really going to die suddenly, why don't you take this time before the server starts, and take a break? I'll watch it for you, and I'll call you when it's time. ”

Chen Hao said through the internal communication channel while adjusting the game cabin.

The two of them were in high spirits, but their bodies were honestly showing a kind of tiredness, and they nodded in response.

Looking at the sleeping two, Chen Hao helped set a time reminder, connected to the game, and prepared to create the game first.

As soon as it was dark, a bronze frame appeared with old rivets and broken shells, and a greasy wrench crossed with a rusty barrel underneath, in a wasteland style.

Just briefly entered some information, and was about to watch the game video, Chen Hao suddenly felt a trance in front of him.

Feeling it again, Chen Hao suddenly grew his mouth in astonishment.

"This... What's going on? ”

Chen Hao's eyes were pale under the strong ultraviolet rays, and the flowing air was full of heat and dryness.

The yellow sand under your feet is delicate, and it is soft and hot to step on.

"Am I not creating a game? How did you get in directly? ”

Stunned for a moment, Chen Hao instinctively opened the game map to find the location of the location.
