Boring 21st Century 10 Internet cafes in the 21st century

"What's this game called?" Seeing the scene of the game entering the screen, those fighting each other with cold weapons, and the camera quickly pulling up and turning into a globe, Qiao Yiyu, who was sharpening pencils in the narration, asked.

"Civilization 4," Han Le introduced the game interest to Qiao Yiyu while familiarly choosing a stand-alone game and setting various options, "It is to talk about the development of civilization from ancient times to modern ......"

The civilization series is still quite famous among the groups who like strategy games, of course, in addition, most people probably haven't heard of it, it is an unpopular and niche game, Han Le still remembers the first time he introduced Xie Yongqing, because the other party saw the tank on the screen, and regarded it as a real-time strategy similar to the Red Police, but after rushing away, he found that there was a stick and immigrants standing in the vast jungle at the beginning......

If you want to introduce how to play this game to a person who has no idea, it is estimated that it will not help if the spitting star says that it will be done, what is the first technology line, grab miracles, formulate early strategies, pay attention to diplomacy, adjust the proportion of scientific research, cut down trees and kill people to immigrate, cultural expansion, arms restraint, technology trading...... Not to mention anything else, just the list of scientific and technological explanations that are often listed is scary enough, and ordinary people may shake their heads when they hear this, but Qiao Yiyu is obviously an exception - she smiled and said to Han Le, who was already energetic in her introduction: "You talk while playing." ”

In Qiao Yiyu's eyes, Han Le at this time and the two people she usually saw were almost completely different, the Han Le in front of him spoke quickly, thought quickly, and was on the side, just at the beginning, before the immigrants sat down, he said a bunch of considerations about the location of the first city, mainly two points, 1 resources, mainly referring to food resources, 2 forests, on this basis, and then consider fresh water, the sea and the safety of the city, the difficulty of the saint is above (including the saint), The condition of the first city is almost decisive for victory or defeat.

Han Le's start is not bad, by the river forest, there is a piece of corn within 21 grids, a few impacts, and many forest hills, at this time Han Le has been talking for more than ten minutes, and the crampedness when he first said it has completely disappeared - this has a lot to do with the degree of Qiao Yiyu's careful listening, when Han Le pointed to the technology line and said that he was going to take bronze, and then looking for copper to prepare for an axe to fight, Qiao Yiyu actually pointed to the priesthood system and asked if he could also grab a miracle, which simply made Han Le feel excited.

It's not impossible to grab miracles, after all, there are so many forests and mountains, and there is no shortage of food, the capital Paris hammer must be indispensable, coupled with the charm of Napoleon, the scale of the capital will not be limited, but after all, it is only the difficulty of saints, and the speed of the computer to grab miracles will be very perverted.

Qiao Yiyu chatted with Han Le, the movements in her hands did not stop for a moment, the pencil rustled on the copy paper, when Han Le's third city had just been placed, and the four workers took axes and began to prepare to cut out an army, her painting also completed the basic composition - it is the entire Internet café seen from Qiao Yiyu's current perspective, Han Le's head alone occupies a quarter of the picture in the lower left corner, but Qiao Yiyu appropriately added a little fiction for visual comfort, For example, move the 5 Dota players behind them to the side of Han Le in the picture.

Although Han Le has not studied painting, just looking at Qiao Yiyu's current sketch, he feels quite professional - the picture looks comfortable, although the people in the painting only have outlines, but the posture has basically been determined, and the light and shadow effects can also be seen, Qiao Yiyu is behind the window, so the lower part of the picture is a little shiny, the higher up, that is, the room of the picture, the thicker the shadow, the number of computers in the picture is deliberately increased, making the whole picture look like a corridor sandwiched by two rows of computers, The general feeling is already out.

"The special class of troops in France is the musketeers, and it can only be made by gunpowder technology in the Enlightenment period, Napoleon's leader is characterized by excellent charisma and strict organization, and the charm is not bad for internal affairs and wars, and the main role of the organization is to speed up the construction of courts, which is still very useful for large countries under high difficulty."

Qiao Yiyu may not be very interested in France, but Napoleon still knows, after all, France is only the name of a certain period of time and a certain region on the earth in her memory, and Napoleon represents a detailed historical story, but she only knows, and her understanding is certainly not as good as that of people in this era - she just understands that Napoleon is a military strategist, winning every battle, first defeated by Moscow, and then defeated by Waterloo.

At this time, Han Le's game has also entered the middle stage, after the Persia on the side was wiped out, Han Le now has 6 cities, and the village is almost paved, the game has entered a period of steady development, and at this stage it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that several neighboring countries should open their horizons, and at the same time pay attention to diplomatic stands, pay attention to the blockade of important science and technology in science and technology, and replace all secondary science and technology, so as to ensure that education is monopolized by themselves, excess resources for money, and excess industry for money, if a country in the world begins to become strong, Use technology as a diplomatic weight to balance its power.

Qiao Yiyu's painting has also entered the stage of fine portrayal, the most important thing in the sketch is the demeanor, specifically the muscle movements on the face, as well as the light and shadow portrayal, the layman looks at the portrait is art, in fact, if you paint more, it is also a pure technical work, which is the same as Han Le's game, looking at Han Le's game from Qiao Yiyu's eyes, in fact, it also has a certain sense of beauty - this beauty is based on the game setting, and the fine balance achieved through human operation.

After the portrayal is completed, the next thing to do is to continue to improve the details on the basis of the initial outline, strengthen the light and shadow, and make the whole picture more three-dimensional, but there is one place Qiao Yiyu always feels not very satisfied, that is, Han Le in the painting - unlike other people who play games, Han Le is not all staring at the screen even when he is most devoted, it seems that he is always worried about something, or rather, he always seems to be inattentive enough, this inattentiveness makes her want to express in the painting, There is a flaw in the state of the people in the Internet café who are completely engaged in the game, especially since Han Le is still the protagonist of this painting.

After changing it several times, Qiao Yiyu suddenly thought about it, in fact, this difference from other people can also play a great role in strengthening this identity in Han Le's paintings.

When Qiao Yiyu finally completed this painting, Han Le's game also reached the most critical climax stage - the outbreak of the enlightenment wave had taken shape, and as soon as the steelmaking technology was good, Han Le immediately adjusted the technology from 100% to 30%, so the city that made money turned to manufacturing cannons and musketeers.

Under the difficulty of the saint, not to mention the liberalism to steelmaking, even if only gunpowder is ignited, it is basically a victory, just when Han Le gathered more than a dozen cannons and more than twenty muskets and was ready to go, the Mongolian computer took the initiative to declare war to find a draw, and Han Le fulfilled it.

After three rounds of war, Han Le destroyed more than 40 war elephants and hammer armies that had dominated the Middle Ages in Mongolia, and then Han Le's army invaded Mongolia as if it were no one, and launched a line of flat push at the speed of falling a city in an average of three rounds, and then accidentally discovered that Shenhai City in the game had also become Mongolian territory - Qiao Yiyu said curiously to go in and take a look, and it really lived up to expectations, the Great Wall, the pyramids, the big library, and the other in it also raised a big worker and a big immortal, two armies...... Yingzheng's ability to create miracles is still very BT, but looking at the score, he is now the penultimate one, and he has been vassalizing and vassal between several major countries, which obviously does not match the real history.

The game is here, and then it's pure physical work, and at this time, Han Le's attention is not so concentrated, and he began to watch Qiao Yiyu use an eraser to soften the painting while operating, saying that he was looking at the painting, but in fact, most of the attention was focused on Qiao Yiyu's face, from Han Le's point of view, Qiao Yiyu's eyebrows and eyes were the clearest and smartest, as well as the nose and lips...... Han Le stared at it for a few seconds, but felt his heart beating hard.

"Almost," Qiao Yiyu put up the painting, looked at it carefully for a moment by the light, and after making sure that there was nothing to change, he put the whole piece of paper into the file bag containing the resume, and then glanced at Han Le, "How long will it take for you to finish." ”

"It's basically over." In the picture, the blue area of France already occupies almost half of the continent, and maybe it will only take a few more rounds to produce a dominant victory animation, but now Han Le's mind is obviously not there, "It's finished, can you show me?" ”

Qiao Yiyu handed him the bag, and the painting was for people to see, and Qiao Yiyu was very open in this regard.

The painting is drawn on a copy paper of the same size as the resume.,The picture is horizontal.,The main content is about a ribbon-like oblique strip from the lower left corner to the upper right corner.,The other two corners still leave a lot of blanks.,The painting is this Internet café.,But it's not quite.,The main part of the picture is two rows of computers.,But it's different from reality.,Only half of these computers are sitting people.,The most striking thing in the picture is Han Le in the lower left corner.,His body leans forward slightly.,One hand holds the mouse.,The other hand is leaning on the keyboard., The two eyes stared at the screen tightly, what was in the screen Qiao Yiyu didn't draw, and covered it up with a strong reflection, the light of the screen illuminated Han Le in the painting, making his focused demeanor show a slightly excessive morbidity, and at the same time made his eyes look a little unnaturally stiff.

Behind Han Le is a row of four or five playing DOTA, their expressions are much richer and more natural than Han Le, in the painting, a person is waving his hand to the microphone to command, relying on Han Le's nearest mouth with a lit cigarette, the ash burned most of it and didn't bounce down, the smoke was slightly swirling, and it felt good to cooperate with the sunlight coming from the window.

"It's so good," Han Le looked at it seriously for a while, and said slowly, the degree of emotion was even greater than praise, "Have you thought of a name?" ”

"Name?" Qiao Yiyu snorted, "Let's call it an Internet café." "It seems that people in the 21st century are interested in coming up with names.

"This is too casual, Internet café is just a noun," Han Le obviously felt that this word was too monotonous with this painting, "to refer to this painting in particular." ”

"Then call it the Internet café of the 21st century." Qiao Yiyu didn't care.

"The Internet café of the 21st century?" Han Le was stunned for a moment, then reacted that this was indeed a good name, and then carefully repeated the word in his mouth twice, as if chewing on the taste of this name - yes, from this name he sensed some special taste, and he felt that this taste had a natural connection with his previous curiosity about Qiao Yiyu.

But Han Le is just a feeling, and a feeling is the easiest thing to disappear, just exists for a moment, Han Le can't grasp it anymore, he can only nod and say, "That's a good name." ”

"Really?" Qiao Yiyu said it casually, but since Han Le thought so, she took the paper and carefully wrote the Chinese characters "Internet café in the 21st century" in the upper left corner along the direction of the picture.

"Is this painting finished?" Han Le asked uncertainly, "It should feel better to put on some color." ”

Qiao Yiyu thought about it and vetoed: "Forget it, that's too troublesome." "Painting is just her hobby and interest, and she usually only finishes the part she finds the most interesting and then it ends, just like Han Le plays civilization, the most fun part is also the most difficult part, and it is a little boring to watch the victory at the end.

After an afternoon on the net, it was almost dark when I came out, and the rain was still falling, but it was much smaller than when it just fell at noon, and the snow that had been stepped on the street could already be seen, Qiao Yiyu looked outside, and then looked at the ramen restaurant on the side, and suggested: "Why don't you eat and leave, you're hungry." ”

"Why don't we go home and eat hot pot together," Han Le said, "It's too cold, it's comfortable to eat hot pot, and there are still a lot of ingredients waiting to be eaten in the refrigerator." ”

Qiao Yiyu has no opinion, her impression of hot pot is not bad.

"Then you wait for me and go buy an umbrella."

The grocery store selling umbrellas was actually not a few steps away from the Internet café, but Han Le still ran over quickly, as if he was afraid that Qiao Yiyu would come over, and the owner of the umbrella seller was a middle-aged man in his forties, playing poker on the computer on the counter.

"Boss, do you have an umbrella?"

Today, I made a lot of money just by selling umbrellas, obviously I was already very familiar with it, as soon as the boss pointed in the direction, Han Le ran to see, the price went from high to low, there were thirty or forty, there were more than a dozen yuan, and so on, according to Han Le's experience, he picked the cheapest one.

"So small?" After opening the umbrella, Qiao Yiyu looked at the small piece of plastic sheeting above his head, and felt that it was obviously not enough to cover the two of them, so he suggested, "Why don't I buy another one." ”

"No, in fact, the rain is not heavy," Han Le had a ghost in his heart, and hurriedly said, "It's just a few steps, don't waste money, and my clothes are waterproof." ”

It was snowing on the road, coupled with the extremely low visibility, Qiao Yiyu didn't ride, just pushed and walked, Han Le walked beside him and played an umbrella, and the only little area was almost on Qiao Yiyu's head - but he was so happy, it's a pity that Qiao Yiyu didn't notice anything wrong with this detail - Han Le himself said that his clothes were waterproof.

When walking side by side, Han Le found that Qiao Yiyu's height was about the same as himself, only a few centimeters shorter, and he had the impression that Qiao Yiyu was only wearing a pair of sneakers, for men, there was simply an invisible oppression for women to grow to this size - what made Han Le feel strange was that before this, he didn't feel this pressure to a great extent.

The cooling brought by the sleet made the air icy, and the white gas produced by the breath was clear and abnormal on this rainy night in winter, and what was even clearer for Han Le was the unique feminine smell that wafted from Qiao Yiyu's body - Han Le was not sure if it was a perfume, shampoo or something else, in short, it smelled very comfortable.

The short road of hundreds of meters is not long, but it is not short, although Han Le has slowed down as much as possible under the pretext of being careful about slipping and falling, but he still feels that they are walking too fast, and when he saw Qiao Yiyu bending down to lock the car in the bicycle shed, Han Le almost had a strong impulse - directly said I like you, or can you be my girlfriend, or even more indirectly, say give me a chance to chase you......

But it was only an impulse, it came without warning, it was so strong, and it went just as quickly and silently.

Qiao Yiyu is still not used to using this completely artificial lock, it will take a while to find this key from the key ring, and after finally locking it, she looked back at Han Le and saw that something seemed wrong with him, so she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Han Le shook his head unconsciously: "It's a little cold." ”

"It's probably not the coldest time of the year." Qiao Yiyu asked again, from the perspective of the long-term climate environment, the earth's environment has been warming, although soon after human beings no longer burn fossil fuels as the main source of energy, but this process has not been reversed, so the ancient climate should be much colder than her time.

"No, but it's about the same." Han Le is really envious of all the people who are not afraid of the cold, looking at Qiao Yiyu's relaxed face, obviously she feels that this temperature is still relatively comfortable.

"Han Le? Qiao Yiyu? At this time, a person with a long-handled umbrella walked in front of the carport, and the two looked at each other, it was really Xie Yongqing, "You just came back too?" ”

"Yes, I'm going back to eat hot pot."

"Just like I thought...... I'm afraid that you haven't eaten enough, so I went and bought some mutton and tofu skin and helped me get it...... No, just let Han Le take it. "Xie Yongqing will make people call.

Xie Yongqing's joining immediately made the atmosphere lively, and when he went upstairs, he didn't stop: "I stepped on a puddle on the way back and froze me to death...... Go back and borrow my socks to wear, mine hasn't dried yet. ”

"It's not washed yet, don't blame me if you have athlete's foot when the time comes."

"Can I not blame you? Your feet are a culture medium, better than beef paste, why don't you scrape a little skin for me and I'll raise it for you, and see what varieties there are...... By the way, this rain is estimated to not stop tomorrow, will the job fair still go? ”

"Of course," Han Le waved the folder, "the resume is ready." ”
