Chapter 5 Debt Repayment
Hua Qiu took the game equipment off his head, gently placed it on the side of the bed, and then pulled out the nutrition tube on the back of his right hand to maintain the basic consumption of the body.
This gaming device is extremely cleverly designed, similar to a headset, but different from it.
When the wearer places the device on top of their head and presses the switch, a glass-like cover extends from the front and back: the front blocks the nose and the iris is scanned to confirm their identity before entering The World; The back extends to the neck to protect the back of the head. The material is so light and thin that you don't feel any weight on your head, but it's so strong that it's hard to leave scratches on it with knives, guns and sticks.
This gaming device is called "Tianyue". There is no one in the world like this, and there is no other copycat.
The most important function of Tianyue is to provide players with continuous energy, that is, to keep the human body at a minimum, and to replenish food without going offline.
As the saying goes, people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. This is true for Hua Qiu in reality, but not for Hua Qiu who entered "The World".
"World" was launched for 49 days, and Hua Qiu only created a character to enter the game on the 9th day of the server, and then was delayed for 40 days due to that mandatory task, which means that Hua Qiu was actually more than a month behind others. If it weren't for the function of the sky and the moon against the sky, Hua Qiu would have turned into a rotting corpse long ago. It can also be seen from the side that the nutrient solution can last up to 40 days. Just like nowadays, the nutrient solution must be added offline!
Hua Qiu filled Tianyue with nutrient solution, looked around the rental house, the room was a little dim, except for the part of the bed where he was lying on his own, the rest was full of dust, he stood up and opened the curtains, the sun was vigorous and powerful at ten o'clock in the morning, and the room was bright.
Looking at the already moldy steamed buns on the table, Hua Qiu shook his head helplessly. Then he stood in front of the dressing mirror and looked at himself in the mirror: the exposed skin of the fruit was pale due to the lack of moisture from the sun's rays; Because you haven't bathed for a long time, the surface of the skin is covered with a thick layer of oil; Although the hair is long, it looks like a chicken nest, like a bird's nest, like a knotted ball of yarn.
Bow your head and stretch out your hands, flip left and right, and make a zombie jump in front of the mirror, well, the length of this nail can definitely be a zombie!
I couldn't bear it, so I decided to clean up first, then take a comfortable hot bath, and then go for a big meal to treat myself.
Hua Qiu was wearing a copycat sports suit that looked like Adidas from a distance and dasabi up close, and stepped on a pair of sneakers of a century-old people-friendly brand, and his outfit never exceeded 50 yuan. Just swaggered with a round-inch haircut that cost 10 yuan and walked into the Nylon Restaurant.
"Sir, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for food."
"Sir, is there a reservation?"
"Eat when you're hungry."
"Sir, may I ask how many of you are dining?"
"Just one."
"Sir, this way, please." The welcome lady did not embarrass Hua Qiu because of Hua Qiu's dress, but politely took Hua Qiu to her seat, and then handed Hua Qiu to the waiter who followed later.
"One filet, I'm going to give five points on one side and five points on one side, and one part for vegetable salad. By the way, your chef is still a bald Eric, right? Hua Qiu didn't wait for the waiter to speak, and said directly.
"Our chef is still Mr. Eric, do you need red wine?" The waiter reacted quickly and hurriedly replied.
"Oh, no, I don't like red wine." Hua Qiu paused and then said: "Hurry up and put things on, and then take a pair of chopsticks, you don't have to give me your utensils." ”
"Yes sir, please wait a minute."
Hua Qiu watched the waiter leave and began to look around.
"It's been more than a year and nothing has changed here. The same decoration style, the same scattered whispered customers, the same lighting, the same music style. But the outside world has long been a matter of fact. Hua Qiu sighed, took out the bottle of Xiaoer from his pocket, unscrewed the cap, and poured it violently.
"Ahem!" Hua Qiu, who hadn't drunk for a long time, was choked.
"Autumn! Where? Where? Autumn! Haha, I knew you were going to come to me! Ha ha! The shouts of excitement came from the direction of the back kitchen, which was particularly clear in the relatively quiet Nylon restaurant.
Hua Qiu heard this long-lost voice and laughed: "Eric, here!" ”
"What's wrong with the chef today? Aren't you afraid of being scolded by your boss for making such a loud noise? ”
"Our chef is the majority shareholder of the restaurant, will you scold yourself?"
"Shhhh
Two waiters not far from Hua Qiu's side whispered.
Hua Qiu looked at the long-lost friend who was trotting all the way to meet him, stepped forward, clasped his hands, and came to a bear hug.
Eric is Hua Qiu's classmate, because of his father's work relationship Eric went to high school in Huaxia for 3 years and became Hua Qiu's classmate.
For the first time in Huaxia will only be simple Chinese "Hello! Good bye! Eric didn't understand what was being said in class at all, and he looked confused. But Eric has a hearty personality, laughs when he sees people, and although he doesn't understand what you're saying, he always looks optimistic and happy, and he likes everyone. In addition, French education is completely different from Chinese education, and in the end, not surprisingly, Eric became a junior in the class, so the head teacher decided to let Hua Qiu help this new classmate.
In three years, the two became inseparable good friends, and Eric's Chinese level skyrocketed, and his results were still miserable. After the college entrance examination, Eric was sent back to China by his father and went to the "New West" in France to learn cooking, until he returned to China after completing his studies and opened this Nylon Dragon restaurant.
"Autumn! You're finally back! I knew you were here as soon as I looked at the menu! No one else has ever ordered a steak like this! Eric said excitedly, while slamming Hua Qiu's back with his big hand, with Eric's 1.9 meters big and 110 kilogram weight, Hua Qiu's small body certainly couldn't stand a few blows.
"Ahem, shit, Eric, you fucking light!" Hua Qiu complained.
As soon as the words fell, the people around cast surprised eyes.
"Haha, that's not happy!" Eric grinned and then said, "Autumn, it doesn't seem like you're going well?" ”
"The most difficult period is over, and it's okay overall." Hua Qiu shrugged his shoulders and sat back in his seat and said.
"Qiu, you have proven yourself when you won the World Championship, but why do you have to spend all your prize money to buy that Tianyue, is it really worth it?" Seeing Hua Qiu's appearance, Eric concluded that Hua Qiu was not doing well, and remembered the decision Hua Qiu made at the beginning, and asked puzzled.
"Here is 950,000, I will pay you back part of it first, and I will give you the rest later." Hua Qiu looked at Eric and smiled, then took out the bank card from his pocket and put it in front of Eric.
"Nope! No! No! That was not what I meant! Eric stood up excitedly, and hurriedly waved his hand to Hua Qiu and said, "Qiu, I didn't mean to let you pay back!" That little money can't compare to our friendship! ”
"Erik, sit down first, I know you don't mean that. It is only natural to repay debts. I just didn't expect it to drag on for so long. There was so much going on in the middle that I only returned home at the beginning of the year. Hua Qiu looked at Eric's excited appearance and felt a warm current in his heart, and smiled and reassured.
"What the hell is going on? I couldn't get through to call you, I always thought you were playing abroad. It doesn't look like that now! Eric asked.
"I can't explain these things in a few words, so I'll talk to you about them when I have time. But the best outcome was that I came back. I'm here to see you, we haven't seen you for a long time, and I want to pay you back some of the money first. And the moon and the moon, which is a testimony to the highest honor of professional gamers, just like you are recognized by Michelin, which is much more important than the trophy and prize money of my champion. After all, only champions are eligible to buy. Erik, you're not a pro gamer, and you won't understand the epoch-making significance of Tianyue. Hua Qiu explained seriously.
"Autumn, you're still the same rhetoric. However, if you are not in a hurry with this money, you can get it back first. Eric shook his head and pushed the card on the table back in front of Hua Qiu.
"You, you're becoming more and more like a Chinese person, don't worry, I still have 50,000 left, and I won't die of hunger. Even if you can't eat, I'll come here to work for you. Hua Qiu pushed the card back again.
One is adamant to give, the other is resolute not to. The two of them pushed the cards on the table back and forth several times until they ......
"Smack!" The glass on the table was rubbed by Eric's arm and fell to the ground and shattered.
"Broken peace, years and years of peace!" Seeing this, Eric said something in his mouth.
"Haha, Eric put it away, or there will be nothing on the table in a while. Hurry up and cook for me! Hua Qiu laughed when he saw Eric's chattering reaction.
"Who did I say, such an unqualified loud speech, it turned out to be you, it's not strange."
Suddenly, such a sentence came, Hua Qiu was slightly embarrassed, looking for prestige, there were two people at the door of the restaurant, a man and a woman, the woman was dressed in black professional clothes, setting off her figure convex and backward, her hair was coiled, her hand was holding the arm of a man in a straight suit, and the voice came from the woman's mouth.
Take a closer look.。。。 Former acquaintances.
"Xu Qing, you're here, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I'm a little excited, so I'm a little louder. Is it still the same when ordering food for two? Eric looked back at the two of them and opened his mouth to clear the siege.
The woman named Xu Qing didn't answer Eric's words, looked Hua Qiu up and down, and then said: "I can't go to college well, I have to drop out of school to become some bullshit professional player, and finally become like this, don't you feel blushing?" ”
Hua Qiu didn't expect to meet Xu Qing here, so he was stunned for a moment and smiled at the other party and said, "What's your business?" ”
"You! Hum! It's really mud that can't hold up the wall! Xu Qing was stunned by the four-character mantra, and pulled the man in the suit to walk to the second floor, when the man in the suit spoke: "This brother, have we met somewhere?" ”
Hua Qiu looked at the man in the suit and said categorically: "I haven't seen it!" ”
"He's just a gamer, how could you have seen it. We eat our meals and go. Xu Qing pulled the man in the suit and walked towards the second floor without looking back.
"Well, why bother?" Eric looked at Hua Qiu, looked at Xu Qing's back, shook his head and walked towards the back kitchen.
