Chapter Ninety-Four: The Boy in the Arcade
As soon as I walked into the house, the hostess immediately reminded me to close the door.
A slight glance at the room, the spacious room was bustling with activity, almost every arcade machine had young people staring intently at the screen, and some of the people who were engaged in the game looked like crazy - when they pressed the game button, they not only made excessive movements, but also screamed madly: "Kill you!" You's!"" Die!" This indulgence looks like replacing himself with a character in the game.
If others see it, they must think it's a fool. But it's a common sight here.
When their voices are too loud, the proprietress will turn her head at the counter and shout, "What a shout!" Don't break the console!"
I stood in front and watched quietly, my eyes swept away, and there were indeed several boys in school uniforms in the room, although their faces were still very immature, but their expressions were fierce, and they were staring at the glowing display screen with gritted teeth. Apparently, he is fighting to the death with the enemy.
Bad students like them who give up on themselves may have a unique knowledge and understanding of Qianjin High School, and I will definitely look for an opportunity to ask someone.
With this in mind, I walked into the house, and the fat woman suddenly stretched out her hand to me and cried out, "Alas, alas! You didn't buy in-game currency!"
"Auntie, I'm just going inside to take a look." I squeezed a smile into her.
"Come in and have a look?!" The fat woman pursed her red lips and looked at me with disgust, "Don't play this game with me, go out without playing the game!" There will be people coming in to play in a while, don't take a seat!"
"Can't you just look at it?"
This is really a black-hearted game hall, and the proprietress is really good at business.
Despite my reluctance, I took out five dollars and handed it to her.
The fat woman reached out and took the money, grabbed five game coins and handed them to me, "Cast a game currency to play for a life, come and buy it when you're done." ”
In my opinion, this kind of spending money is undoubtedly in vain, and there is nothing to be gained by throwing yourself into this bottomless pit. But children who are not yet mentally mature often put money into game consoles for the pleasure of games.
I walked inside with the game currency in my hand and saw a boy wearing the uniform of Qianjin High School playing intently. There was a vacant seat to his right, so I sat next to him.
The boy had oblique bangs, his skin was so white that there was no blood, his small eyes were bloodshot, and the undersides of his eyes were thick dark circles, and he obviously looked weak and weak.
The electronic screen in front of him shows an overgrown wilderness, a macho man in a yellow hat and green short sleeves, punching and kicking a ferocious Tyrannosaurus rex, and next to the dinosaur is a "bad guy" with a club and eager to try. ”
The arcade machine kept saying "Boom! Boom! Yes! Ahh The boy was also completely intoxicated, and his hands operated quickly.
"Dude, what are you playing?" I leaned over to him.
The boy didn't turn his head to look at me, but hurriedly said, "Dinosaur Kombat." There was impatience and a hint of disdain in his tone, as if to mock me for not even knowing this.
To be honest, I didn't enter a game hall in high school or even college, so naturally I didn't have the opportunity to encounter this kind of "high-end" game.
"Oh, it seems to be fun." I turned my head to look at his screen, not in a hurry to ask.
The man in the hat controlled by the boy on the screen has become invincible, knocking over a group of street gangsters.
But the protagonist continues to walk forward, and soon comes across a bald man with a double knife, this guy is a little exaggeratedly fat, and his stomach is pouting like a wooden barrel with beer. As soon as he jumped out, he grinned maliciously.
The man in the hat immediately rushed up and fought him, but this boss was obviously not a simple character, and knocked the protagonist to the ground in three or two clicks.
A man in a hat stood up and looked at the disappearing green bar's health. Fine beads of sweat flowed from the boy's oblique bangs.
"Hit him in the head, kick him, kick him!" I pretended to cheer him on.
The boy shouted, "Oh, don't talk!"
The two of them added punches and kicks, and the fight was inextricable. At this time, after the bald big fat man swung out, the man with the hat fell to the ground in slow motion, and the English letters of "GameOver" occupied the entire screen.
"Damn! Dead again!" The boy jerked away and slapped the console hard.
I had to shrink my head in a huff, but I just thought it was funny - I really didn't know what the game was about.
The boy scratched at the shriveled pocket of his school uniform with an ugly face, which looked empty, and it seemed that he had no more in-game currency.
"Cao, it's this level again..."He reluctantly got up, looked at the protagonist who fell to the ground on the electronic screen with a pale face, and licked his dry lips.
In the messy hair that hangs down the oblique bangs is a pair of gloomy eyes.
I thought he was going to go home and sleep, but he walked to the counter.
"The boss... Two more dollars..."The boy opened his lips slightly, and spat out these words with difficulty.
"Where's the money?!" The fat woman was counting the bills when she was disturbed by him, and immediately looked up and glared at him.
The boy lowered his eyes in embarrassment, "I owe it first, or... You lend me some money and I'll pay it back to you tomorrow. ”
"I want to owe it again?!" The fat woman's fat face trembled, "Hey, Wang Feifei, you have made an IOU six times this week, and you haven't paid it off once!" Why do you still have the face to borrow it!"
"Borrow some first... Tomorrow will definitely be back..."The boy named Wang Feifei flicked his bangs in front of his forehead, with a resolute look on his face, "Just give me another game currency!" I'm sure I'll be able to clear it this time!"
The fat woman stood up from her seat with a sneer, raising the white account book in her hand, "Don't you say I forgot, if you don't take out the 150 yuan you owe today, you won't want to leave here!"
"What did you say?!" Wang Feifei's face flushed, "Isn't it 70 yuan?" How did it become 150?"
"Nonsense, you haven't paid back the money for so long, so you don't have any interest?"
The fat woman's eyes stared straight at the boy, and her arms were slightly stretched out, with a posture of stopping.
Wang Feifei's eyes rolled quickly, no matter how stupid he was, he could understand that the current situation was not as simple as his IOU.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You are clearly a black shop!" I'm not playing!" After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door.
"What are you doing!" The fat woman shook her body and immediately walked over: "You want to leave without paying?!" ”
Before the words fell, the fat woman pushed on the boy.
Wang Feifei was already weak, not to mention that this woman was covered in fat and as strong as an ox, and a strong push made Wang Feifei staggered backwards and took a few steps back.
Finally gaining a foothold, the fat woman rushed forward and reached out to grab his ear, "The old lady still can't clean up your little mess?!" Pay the money quickly! If you can't pay the money, screw your ears off! ”
As he spoke, sharp fingertips ravaged his ears fiercely.
"It hurts, it hurts! I'm going to have my ears broken!" Wang Feifei's face twisted into a ball of pain, "Let go!"
He clenched his hands into fists and kept smashing at the fat woman, but to the barrel-like body of the proprietress, the boy's fists were as weak as cotton.
"Everybody, look! This proprietress not only slanders people, but also beats people!" Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, Wang Feifei shouted at the young man who was playing the game.
Regrettably, everyone sat in their seats like wood, and no one paid attention to him, all of them staring intently at the screen in front of them, their hands tapping like gears in rapid motion.
Finally, a man with a cigarette in his mouth and a black leather jacket turned his head to look at him, "If you don't play, get out of here, what are you talking about." ”
"You... Look at this shrew!" Wang Feifei cried out with a crying voice, obviously completely in despair.
"You little bastard!" As soon as the fat woman heard his words, her face became even more annoyed, and her right hand suddenly raised and slapped him in the face fiercely.
"Smack!" A crisp sound made my heart tremble, but it still didn't wake up the young man who was fighting.
This fat woman is really ruthless, the fan just now obviously used the strength of her whole body, otherwise it would not have been possible to have such great strength. But the boy also tasted the bitterness, and everything went according to plan.
Next... It's time for me to do it!
