As the sun set, Zhang Qiang, who finally got off work, walked into the "New Feeling" Internet café downstairs of the company with several colleagues, preparing for today's "Internet Café Five Consecutive Sitting" activity.

Pushing open the heavy glass door, a "kind" smell of sweat mixed with the smell of tobacco came to the face, and the five people swiped their ID cards at the front desk in turn, and began to look for the connected machines.

Then, Zhang Qiang found that something was wrong in today's Internet café.

Compared to usual, there are a lot of idle machines today, and most of the computers on the first floor are empty.

It's not surprising if it's just that there are few people, but those unmanned machines are all used by people.

Zhang Qiang frowned slightly. Then I heard the cheers of a group of people from upstairs:

"it!"

"Awesome!"

"I'm so handsome!"

Hearing this voice, Zhang Qiang and his colleagues and comrades-in-arms glanced at each other, walked up the metal staircase quickly, and came to the second floor of the Internet café.

As soon as he went up to the second floor, Zhang Qiang immediately saw that someone was being watched.

He himself is a "League of Legends" player, and the ladder can barely make it to the diamond group, which is relatively high-end in this small city.

So every time he and his colleagues come to the Internet café to open the black, they will attract some players to watch the game behind them. But......

- He had never seen so many people watching one person.

It seemed that almost half of the people in the Internet café were gathered in front of a computer in the corner, and their mouths were bursting out with exclamations and admiration from time to time.

Even the beautiful proprietress of the New Sense Internet Café, who has always been known for her "noble and cold" appearance, stood next to the computer and crossed her arms, staring intently at the screen.

What's going on?

The curious Zhang Qiang also joined the crowd of onlookers. Laboriously standing on tiptoe, he stepped over the black pressure and pressed a human head, and looked at the man sitting inside.

When he saw that guy, the first thought that came to Zhang Qiang's mind was: "This product is so professional." ”

It was a young man with slightly long black hair for a boy, holding the handle with his thin hands, pressing the buttons at a dizzying pace.

If you just bring a controller, it's nothing, Zhang Qiang has seen someone play games with a controller in an Internet café before, but in addition to the controller, he also brings a joystick and a steering wheel, which is unusual.

Because he was standing directly behind, Zhang Qiang couldn't see the man's face, so he could only look at the computer screen, and then he was startled.

A dashing red-clothed figure on the screen is slashing the demon in front of him with superb skills. If Zhang Qiang is not mistaken, the name of the man in red is Dante, and this game should be "Devil May Cry".

Zhang Qiang has played the game Devil May Cry a few times before, but he always relies on flat slashing and non-stop shooting to solve the opponent, and basically can't press any moves. So much so that he once thought that this was a boring "one-trick" monster slashing game-

Until today, seeing this man's operation.

Silver-white, blood-red, pitch-black, swords and shadows of various colors filled the entire space like entities. And on the right side of the screen, where the score is displayed, there are three big words in blood red: SSS.

Dante on the screen is incredibly fast, switching styles and weapons several times almost every second, ravaging with super-fast and incredibly precise attacks. your opponents.

Although he didn't know the names of those moves, Zhang Qiang could still see that this player's operation was definitely top-notch!

The smoothness and magnificence of this person's operation can be described as "artistic". Even if people who have never played this game come to watch the battle, they can only sigh "why is this thing so hanging".

Even Zhang Qiang, who has always prided himself on being "calm and calm", finally couldn't help but exhale when he saw Dante kill three demons at the same time with a forward fan-shaped slash:

"Beautiful!"

Despite the cheers of onlookers, the man in the center of his gaze seemed to be deaf to the outside world.

I saw him decisively turn off "Devil May Cry", unplug the handle and connect the steering wheel and foot pedals, and click on the icon of "Need for Speed".

It took a minute to adjust the operation mode, and in front of everyone, the man chose a black Lamborghini bull, and then immediately began to modify.

Most of the stand-alone games in Internet cafes have clearance saves that can be used, so this person naturally has a top-level kit installed. But Zhang Qiang, who has always paid attention to details, keenly found that this guy's brakes were not installed with the best "ultimate kit", but used the most basic "street kit".

Is there any purpose?

Zhang Qiang, who was aware of this detail, watched in confusion as the player chose a complex track that could circle people to death just by looking at the map, and then chose the highest difficulty, holding his hands on the dark steering wheel.

Soon, the black Lamborghini bull appeared on the track, next to a large number of supercars in colorful livery and the driver of the computer AI controlled zhì started the engine provocatively and hummed wildly.

It wasn't until this time that Zhang Qiang, who had been paying attention to the screen, noticed that this guy actually connected two small speakers next to the computer......

It stands to reason that this kind of behavior that interferes with other people's normal Internet access is absolutely not allowed in Internet cafes. But Zhang Qiang looked at the proprietress of the Internet café who was watching the game, and found that she didn't say anything, still staring at the screen intently.

Blue flames erupt from the twin exhaust pipes on both sides of the Lamborghini bull on the screen, and the angular body trembles slightly with the frequency of the long-haired man stepping on the accelerator, and then, a countdown number appears in the center of the screen:

Three.

Two.

One.

GO！

The moment the two blood-red letters appeared, all the cars had rushed out like sharp arrows. The Lamborghini Bull was so fast that it was like adding a rocket engine, and in two seconds it overtook all its opponents and quickly took the lead.

The long-haired man's start is the "perfect start", a technique that most people can do. But Zhang Qiang, who has played Need for Speed before, knows very well that in the face of the most difficult opponents, even if he starts perfectly to seize the opportunity, he will soon be overtaken by the AI-controlled car.

As Zhang Qiang expected, the blurred shadows of other cars soon appeared on both sides of the pitch-black sports car, and at this time, a disgusting hairpin-shaped corner also appeared on the track ahead.

Zhang Qiang thought he would slow down and prepare to make a corner. Unexpectedly, the Lamborghini Bull did not slow down in the face of the sharp corner in front of him, and still maintained its top speed, leaving behind several cars that began to slow down next to him.

Wouldn't that hit the wall? Zhang Qiang stared in surprise at the pitch-black sports car that almost brought out the afterimage on the screen.

Although Need for Speed has a "Speed Device" that allows you to enter slow motion, at the highest difficulty, the energy of the Speed Device needs to be stored for a long time before it can be used, and it is obviously not usable now.

What does this guy have to do to get around corners at speeds close to 400 kilometers per hour?

Seeing that the curve was already close in sight, the long-haired man slammed the steering wheel twice to the right, released the accelerator and pulled down the handbrake at the same time, and when the whole sports car was about to roll over, he activated the switch of "nitrogen and oxygen supercharging".

"Hiss!"

With a whistling sound that resembles a flat tire, the Lamborghini Bull, which was about to lose its center of gravity, was pulled back to the track by the powerful propulsion.

The angular pitch-black sports car, with its exhaust pipes spewing long flames, once again resumed its top speed and soared forward, and soon achieved a complete lead, leaving the few cars that had been chasing after them all in vain.

"It's amazing......"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Qiang was finally convinced of this player's strength - the reason why this person did not modify the brake kit just now seems to be very simple:

He didn't even need to brake.

Just when Zhang Qiang was still sighing at the strength of this person's skills, he saw that the guy had won the championship, and then decisively turned off the game, unplugged the steering wheel and foot pedals, and replaced them with arcade joysticks.

Next up is a gorgeous performance of a fighting game.

Street Fighter PERFECT solves opponents without damage, and the King of Fighters infinitely combos...... All kinds of unbelievable techniques, everyone who watched it was dumbfounded.

Just when that guy was operating Yagami-an, Kusanagi Kyo who used infinite ghost steps to torture the computer. Suddenly, a young woman with a good figure pushed through the crowd, walked up to the long-haired man, patted him on the shoulder, and reprimanded him in a vibrant-sounding voice:

"Why are you still playing games? The old lady didn't say to pick it up when she came, and asked me to come to the Internet café to find you, it's really uneducated. ”

What's going on? Zhang Qiang was suddenly a little stunned.

I thought this person should be a dead house who plays games every day and has no friends, but I didn't expect to be accompanied by beautiful women. What's even more terrifying is that this product also released other pigeons, which was really unexpected by Zhang Qiang.

This kind of behavior, in the popular parlance now, is "destined to be lonely for a lifetime......

"There's a power outage at home, come out and have fun." The long-haired man, who had been silent since Zhang Qiang came to watch, finally spoke. The man's voice was slightly hoarse and deep, but it had a strange magnetism.

He manipulated Yagami to release a "Eight Childish Girl" to kill Kusanagi Kyo, then turned off the game, unplugged the joystick and stereo, and put them back in the blue backpack at his feet, along with other things.

After clicking "Checkout and Disembarking", the long-haired man picked up his backpack and turned around to leave. It was only at this time that Zhang Qiang finally saw the true face of this person:

Under the slightly long bangs, a pair of extraordinarily clear narrow pupils are revealed, which are not at all like the eyes that stare at a computer screen every day. This person has good facial features and is quite handsome, but his face is slightly sickly pale, and at first glance he knows that he is the kind of guy who lives in the house all the year round and does not see the light of day.

"Please excuse me."

After the man finished speaking, the onlookers next to him consciously opened a passage.

In the eyes of surprise and envy, he walked down the stairs with the woman.
